Developing the Elements of a Complete Emergency Preparedness Program
Emergency Preparedness Overview
Emergency Preparedness pre - 9/11/01Emergency preparedness not widely recognized as necessary function within organizations. Programs typically consisted of informal policies and procedures that did not readily integrate.
Emergency Preparedness post - 9/11/01Federal, state and local agencies have realized the need for an integrated, comprehensive Emergency Preparedness Program that addresses integration within the agency and interoperability between agencies.

Types of Emergency Events
Natural Events: Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes
Technological Event:HazMat Spill, Loss of Power
Man-Caused Event:Terrorism
Emergency Preparedness Federal Guidance for Developing Programs
1. National Response Plan (NRP)
2. National Infrastructure Protection Program (NIPP)
3. National Target Capabilities List (TCL)
4. National Incident Management System (NIMS)
5. NIMS Capabilities Self Assessment Tool (NIMSCAST)
Emergency Preparedness Program Elements
1. Threat and Vulnerability Assessments
2. Threat/Hazard Mitigation Plan
3. Emergency Management Plan
4. Standard Operating Procedures
5. Training Program
6. Drills and Exercise Program
Emergency Preparedness Sustainability Model TM
1. Threat & Vulnerability Assessment
Identifies and Assesses Critical Assets(People, facilities, equipment, processes, and information)
Profiles Hazards and Threats (Natural, technological and man-caused)
Assesses Risks and Consequences (Probability of events occurring and extent of possible damage)
Compares and Prioritizes Risks (Evaluation and ranking of risks to determine primary concerns)
Identifies Mitigation and Countermeasures (Improvement or development of hazard or threat management program)
Emergency Preparedness Sustainability Model TM
2. Threat/Hazard Mitigation Plan
Threat/Hazard Management Plan(Policies and procedures related to hazards identification, risk assessment and mitigation.)
Natural/Technological Hazards(HVAC procedures, alternate locations, evacuation plan, traffic management plan )
Security Threats(Lighting, fences, locks, barriers, facility/structure hardening, access control, ID systems, video cameras, intercom, etc.)
Operations Center (Facility design, communications systems, video monitoring system, IT network, B/U generator, staffing plan)
Emergency Preparedness Sustainability Model TM
3. Emergency Management Plan
Concept of Operations (CONOPS) that determines lines of authority and responsibilities within the organization
Outlines the departmental relationships inside the organization and organizational links to other agencies
Identifies equipment, facilities, supplies and other resources available for use during response and recovery operations
Plan is based on the NIMS concepts and incorporates the Incident Command System into its structure, so that it integrates with the ICS structure of the City, County and State
Emergency Preparedness Sustainability Model TM
4. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Provide specific guidance for the performance of actions that are identified in the CONOPS
Position based
Performance-based
Synchronized with other SOPs
Recognized as the basis of actions to be taken during the emergency
Revised and updated annually
Emergency Preparedness Sustainability Model TM
5. Training Program
Internal to Organization
Terrorism Awareness and Prevention
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Emergency Management Program Overview
Standard Operating Procedures
External Agencies
Cross training with Police, Fire & EMS
Emergency Preparedness Sustainability Model TM
6. Drills and Exercise Program
Table Top Exercise (TTX)(A structured and prompt driven scenario discussion between key personnel)
Functional Exercises (FE)(Structured, objective driven drills involving a scenario that primarily focuses on and tests a single internal function such as Security, Fire, HazMat, etc.)
Full Scale Exercise (FSE)(Structured, objective driven exercises involving a scenario that tests multiple organizational functions and the organization’s integration/coordination with other agencies)
