- Emergency Planning for Hospitals 5 Ws plus. Who should be
involved? What are the requirements? When should you do it? Where
do you begin? Why and How often? What resources do you use?
- Slide 5
- Whole Community Unity of Effort Preparedness is a shared
responsibility. Everyone plays a role: Individuals and families,
including those with disabilities or others with access and
functional needs Businesses and nonprofits Faith-based and
community organizations Schools and academia Media outlets All
levels of government

- Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) Hospitals are required to
conduct and annually review their Hazard Vulnerability Analysis
(HVA). The HVA provides a systematic approach to recognizing
hazards that may affect demand for the hospitals services or its
ability to provide those services. The risks associated with each
hazard are analyzed to prioritize planning, mitigation, response
and recovery activities. The HVA serves as a needs assessment for
the Emergency Management program. This process should involve
community partners and be communicated to community emergency
response agencies. It is important to note that cities and counties
are also required to prepare HVAs; the hospital HVA should consider
hazards identified in the community plans that may impact the
hospital. In some communities the hospital and community HVAs are
developed together. Also referred to as Hazard Identification and
Vulnerability Analysis (HIVA) or Threat and Hazard Identification
and Risk Analysis (THIRA) ~ New

- PPD - 8 Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 8: National
Preparedness was released in March 2011 with the goal of
strengthening the security and resilience of the United States
through systematic preparation for the threats that pose the
greatest risk to the security of the Nation. PPD-8 defines five
mission areasPrevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and
Recoveryand mandates the development of a series of policy and
planning documents to explain and guide the Nations approach to
ensuring and enhancing national preparedness.

- National Preparedness Goal Prevention. Prevent, avoid or stop
an imminent, threatened or actual act of terrorism. Protection.
Protect our citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the
greatest threats and hazards in a manner that allows our interests,
aspirations, and way of life to thrive. Mitigation. Reduce the loss
of life and property by lessening the impact of future disasters.
Response. Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the
environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of a
catastrophic incident. Recovery. Recover through a focus on the
timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization of
infrastructure, housing and a sustainable economy, as well as the
health, social, cultural, historic and environmental fabric of
communities affected by a catastrophic incident.
- Slide 11
- Mitigation Core Capabilities Mitigation ~ Sustained actions
taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property
from hazards.* 44 CFR 201.2 Mitigation Planning - Definitions The
National Preparedness Goal identified 31 core capabilities - these
are the distinct critical elements needed to achieve the goal.

fundamentals of planning and their application CPG Comprehensive

- Slide 13
- CPG 201: Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans
(EOPs) Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)
guide provides a comprehensive approach for identifying and
assessing risks and associated impacts. It expands on existing
local, tribal, territorial, and state Hazard Identification and
Risk Assessments (HIRAs) and other risk methodologies by broadening
the factors considered in the process, incorporating the whole
community throughout the entire process, and by accounting for
important community-specific factors CPG Comprehensive Preparedness
Guide
- Slide 14
- CPG 201: Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
(THIRA) Five Step Process 1.Identify the threats and hazards of
concern - What could happen in my community? 2.Give the threats and
hazards context - Describe how a threat or hazard could happen in
my community, and when and where it could happen. 3.Examine the
core capabilities using the threats and hazards - How would each
threat or hazard affect the core capabilities identified in the
National Preparedness Goal? 4.Set capability targets - Using the
information above, set the level of capability a community needs to
prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from
its risks. 5.Apply the results - Use the capability targets to
decide how to use resources from the Whole Community. CPG

- Local Mitigation Planning Handbook Handbook highlights case
studies and tools for community officials providing practical
guidance on how to incorporate risk reduction strategies into
existing local plans, policies, codes, and programs that guide
community development or redevelopment patterns. Task 5 Conduct a
Risk Assessment
- Slide 16
- Defining Risk Assessment Illustrates the concept of risk as the
relationship, or overlap, between hazards and community assets. The
smaller the overlap, the lower the risk.
- Slide 17
- Risk Assessment Terminology Natural hazard source of harm or
difficulty created by a meteorological, environmental, or
geological event. Community assets the people, structures,
facilities, and systems that have value to the community.
Vulnerability characteristics of community assets that make them
susceptible to damage from a given hazard. Impact the consequences
or effects of a hazard on the community and its assets
- Slide 18
- Risk Assessment Terminology (Continued) Risk the potential for
damage, loss, or other impacts created by the interaction of
natural hazards with community assets. Risk assessment product or
process that collects information and assigns values to risks for
the purpose of informing priorities, developing or comparing
courses of action, and informing decision making. Threat or
human-caused incident intentional actions of an adversary, such as
a threatened or actual chemical or biological attack or cyber
event.
