ALL HAZARD APPROACH Level of Preparedness Raising the Overall Level of Preparedness WMD Infrastructure Hurricane Fire Mass Casualty Frequency of Type of Incident UCI Company Proprietary 1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 Management of Domestic Incidents “To prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies, the United States Government shall establish a single, comprehensive approach to domestic incident management. The objective of the United States Government is to ensure that all levels of government across the Nation have the capability to work efficiently and effectively together, using a national approach to domestic incident management. In these efforts, with regard to domestic incidents, the United States Government treats crisis management and consequence management as a single, integrated function, rather than as two separate functions. “ UCI Company Proprietary 2 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 Management of Domestic Incidents “The Secretary shall develop, submit for review to the Homeland Security Council, and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). This system will provide a consistent nationwide approach for Federal, State, and local governments to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity. To provide for interoperability and compatibility among Federal, State, and local capabilities, the NIMS will include a core set of concepts, principles, terminology, and technologies covering the incident command system; multi-agency coordination systems; unified command; training; identification and management of resources (including systems for classifying types of resources); qualifications and certification; and the collection, tracking, and reporting of incident information and incident resources.” UCI Company Proprietary 3 What is IMS? • • • • • Boilerplate - rules of the game A toolbox - “Use what you need!” Common terms Bottom up decision making Effective resource allocation UCI Company Proprietary 4 Who Does IMS Apply To? FIRST RESPONDERS • Typically considered Fire, Police, Paramedic, Emergency Medicine, Public Health • New concepts include convergent response • Generally consists of first organized response UCI Company Proprietary 5 Actions of civilian responders • • • • • Stumble into the mayhem Hopefully recognize the problem Apply limited resources Scream for help Locals act as “speed bumps.” (J. Denney, LAFD) UCI Company Proprietary 6 Convergent Players • • • • • • • Utility companies Postal and express delivery services Meter readers and inspectors Transit – Buses and taxis Public works crews Private security and volunteer watch groups Real estate agents UCI Company Proprietary 7 Incident Management Systems • • • • • • • Urban Fire IMS Wildland Fire IMS Emer. Medical IMS Law Enforcement IMS Public Works IMS Hospital Emer. IMS National Interagency Incident Mgmt. Sys. UCI Company Proprietary 8 Basic principles • • • • Function driven Span of control< 5 Inter-agency model Effective resource allocation • Information sharing & group decision making UCI Company Proprietary 9 The CNN factor The big dog will eat; you can feed him, or he’ll go through your garbage! “Embedded Reporter” UCI Company Proprietary 10 IMS/DoD Integration • Unified command – both parties share the sandbox • DoD integration at the section level (operations, logistics, planning) • DoD units team with strike teams, task forces, or units (ex: CBIRF with Haz Mat) • Any combinations of the above UCI Company Proprietary 11 Presidential Strategy • HLS – build and oversee national system for incident management • State/local adoption requirement for Federal funding • Essential Requirements: – – – – Standard incident management system Interagency planning Wireless communication interoperability Local threat assessment and notification UCI Company Proprietary 12 The Big Four Revisited 1.) Joint operations – IMS/C3I integration; national ICS all-hazard overhead teams 2.) Common Operational Picture – Coordination with Northern Command; Access 250 3.) Planning and sustainability – DoD planning model integrated into IMS; national cache system with national contracting model 4.) Training – Required integrated/coordinated with common exercise objectives UCI Company Proprietary 13 Information Operations (IO) • Most agencies are clueless! • What does the community have to know? • Our infrastructure is a “house of cards.” • Websites are “wide open” • We need standards, guidance, and training. UCI Company Proprietary 14 WTC Communications • • • • Very complex incident Command destroyed Mass officer fatalities Confused situational awareness • Com incompatibility in every U.S. region UCI Company Proprietary 15 D.C. Police Experience on Sept. 11 • OPM closed federal offices but never notified Metro (D.C.) Police • Metro Police got alerts from CNN • Local officials were out of position and could not move due to traffic • All comm was overloaded or failed • The 50 year old EBS system was never used UCI Company Proprietary 16 UCI Company Proprietary 17 UCI Company Proprietary 18 The New Threat Warning System • National level threat advisory system • Warnings are not threat and location specific UCI Company Proprietary 19 Threat Warning System • Purpose – To standardize knowledge and response to various threat levels – To allow various communities and organizations to have a “common operational picture” of the situation • Replaces ad-hoc alert levels and status UCI Company Proprietary 20 Threat Warning System • Low Condition (green) – Low Risk of Attack – Actions include • General training and review of plans • Maintenance of response capability • Practice Institutional Response Procedures UCI Company Proprietary 21 Threat Warning System • Guarded Condition (Blue) – Possibility of generalized terrorist attack • No specific threat • No specific target – Actions include • Check communications with emergency resources • Review and update emergency procedures • Provide public with information to assist in their preparedness UCI Company Proprietary 22 Threat Warning System • Elevated Condition (Yellow) – Significant risk of terrorist attack • No specific targets but possible specified threat – Actions include • Increase surveillance of critical locations • Coordinate emergency plans as appropriate with nearby jurisdictions • Assess whether specific threat requires modification of plans • Implement, as appropriate, contingency and emergency operations plans UCI Company Proprietary 23 Threat Warning System • High Condition (Orange) – High risk of terrorist attacks • Specific Threats • Specific Targets – Actions include • Coordinate necessary security efforts at all levels of government • Take additional precautions at high vulnerability, high risk venues • Prepare to execute contingency emergency procedures • Restrict access, as needed, to threatened facilities UCI Company Proprietary 24 Threat Warning System • Severe Condition (Red) – Severe Risk of Terrorist Attack • Credible, specific evidence • High reliability of data • Corroboration of information – Actions include • Increasing staff and personnel to emergency levels • Assigning and deploying emergency response personnel and deploying teams and equipment • Monitoring, redirecting or constraining transportation • Closing public and government facilities UCI Company Proprietary 25 After The Anthrax Scares • • • • • • The FBI said, “Quit calling us.” The fire guys said, “Quit calling us.” The Police picked up the slack. No training No protocols No equipment UCI Company Proprietary 26 COMMUNICATION THREAT TYPES • • • • HAZMAT Blast/Burn Mass Casualty Infrastructure Almost all incidents are combinations of two or more of the above UCI Company Proprietary 27 COMMUNICATION PRIORITIES • LIFE • PROPERTY • ATTRIBUTION UCI Company Proprietary 28 COMMUNICATION OTHER ISSUES • • • • Classification and security Incompatible radios and commo gear Differences in methodology and CONOPS Who’s in charge and does what? UCI Company Proprietary 29 Anthrax Lessons Decision Making without Data • Need to make decisions rapidly in the absence of data • Access to subject matter experts was limited • No “textbook” experience to guide response • Understanding of “risk” evolved as outbreak unfolded • Need coherent, rapid process for addressing scientific issues in midst of crisis UCI Company Proprietary 30 Northern Command • New command since September 11 • Responsible for the CONUS • Assets loaned from other DoD commands • Integrates with local responders UCI Company Proprietary 31 Integration – Coordinating with Other Agencies • Multiple emergency operations centers (EOC) • When do you set up a local EOC? • Beware of multiple command posts! • Mobile communications units are not always compatible UCI Company Proprietary 32 National Caches • Regional • Centralized ordering and Control System • Incorporates push and pull logistics strategy • Applicable for counter terrorism and other response caches UCI Company Proprietary 33 Pharmaceutical Supplies • Presently based on JIT (just-in-time) inventory practices • Most hospitals and EMS services have only a two day supply • DHHS/DHS presently working on national pharmaceutical cache system UCI Company Proprietary 34 Quote of the Briefing “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C. Clark UCI Company Proprietary 35 RESPONSES TECHNOLOGY • • • • NO R&D dollars in civilian first response community Must leverage existing resources Difference between system and technology Recognize difference in missions and requirements – Electronic Warfare – Reliability • Needs MUST drive technology, not other way around UCI Company Proprietary 36 HLS C2 ACTD Vision To define, refine and transition technologies and concepts of operations that significantly increase DoD Homeland Security responsiveness in consequence management, crisis response, deterrence and intelligence coordination.
