THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER: A VITAL PREPAREDNESS TOOL BY WILLIAM SHOULDIS

This article mentions high-risk/low-frequency incident which there is a great video High-Risk and Low-Frequency

by retired California Highway Patrol Captain Gordon Graham.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS OF THE EOC

The EOC depends on maintaining situational awareness. Planning enables agencies’ representatives to focus on vital services to maintain the safety and well-being of the public at risk. The proper time to develop and practice an emergency operation plan (EOP) is before a community suffers a high-risk/low-frequency incident. Document the following essential functions during EOC activation to ensure a fair distribution of resources:

EOC leaders can mix and match skillsets, combining them together to form EOC position task books that reflect the needs of their EOC. The EOC Skillsets User Guide explains what EOC Skillsets are and how to use them to construct EOC Position Task Books (PTB) And Also FEMA Releases the Senior Leaders Toolkit for Incident Response May 7, 2019 FEMA’s National Integration Center today released a Senior Leader Toolkit, a resource that both emergency management and senior leaders can use to discuss roles and responsibilities during incidents. FEMA supports the mission of strengthening the security and resilience of the nation by working to improve the ability of all to manage incidents, events, and emergencies. Senior leaders and policy makers play a critical role in incident management. This roll varies widely across the nation according to local laws and authorities. Stakeholders have asked for assistance developing materials for their senior leaders; however, FEMA understands that local personnel best understand the specific roles and responsibilities within their jurisdiction. For this reason, FEMA is releasing these documents as customizable templates, so that local emergency managers can revise them according to their local authorities and procedures. The templates in the toolkit include an Elected Officials/Senior Executives Quick Reference Guide, a Department Head Quick Reference Guide, and a NIMS Senior Leader Briefing Template.

Senior Leader Toolkit

Elected Officials / Senior Executive Quick Reference Guide

Purpose:

The purpose of this quick reference guide is to help elected officials and other senior executives understand their responsibilities in the initial response to an incident. These key decision makers work cooperatively with emergency management officials according to the responsibilities that the National Incident Management System (NIMS) describes. Additional information on the incident management roles of elected officials/senior executives and Multiagency Coordination Groups (MAC Groups) appears on NIMS pages 40 and 41.

This reference guide is organized into (a) overarching priorities that apply to every incident, (b) essential responsibilities, (c) what to expect, and (d) public messaging examples. Intentionally broad, the guide applies to diverse organizations across the nation. FEMA recommends that emergency managers customize this reference guide according to their Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) by including organizational points of contact (POC) and relevant operational details, such as how often the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will provide situation reports. Emergency managers should review the customized reference guide with their leadership before an incident occurs.

Department Head Quick Reference Guide

Purpose:

The purpose of this quick reference guide is to help department heads understand their responsibilities in the initial response to an incident. These key decision makers work cooperatively with emergency management officials according to the responsibilities that the National Incident Management System (NIMS) describes. Additional information on the incident management roles of department heads and Multiagency Coordination Groups (MAC Groups) appears on NIMS pages 40 and 41.

This training is designed to provide all-hazards competencies and behaviors for command, general staff and selected unit leader positions within an Incident Management Team (IMT) environment. Competencies in the training are focused around the ability of the student to assume specific position responsibilities, lead assigned personnel, communicate effectively, and to ensure the completion of assigned tasks in order to meet identified objectives for the position.

The need for a standardized approach to position specific training was first recognized in the mid-1980’s. This recognition was underscored by the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, in addition to the natural disasters of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

American Red Cross Deployment to Albany, Georgia Hurricane Michael DR 750-19 to work the American Red Cross DROHQ Disaster Relief Operation Headquarters with DST Disaster Services Technology Team for two weeks. October 22nd though November 4th 2018. While working American Red Cross DROHQ Disaster Relief Operation Headquarters I did TIMS CS Customer Service my job included providing computer, printer and cell phone troubleshooting. Also one of my jobs since I have my All-Hazards Communications Unit Leader (COML) Certification without my PTB completed was to lead a team tasked with doing communications equipment evaluation of the American Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicles before they left Operation at two different American Red Cross Kitchens. Such at Second Harvest of South Georgia in Thomasville, GA and also at the Morningside Baptist Church in Bainbridge, GA I would not have been able to deploy if a local animal hospital didn't offer to provide me with boarding for my dog for the two weeks. And also the support from the local animal shelter in which I volunteer at for my aging dog in which is like comfort therapy dog to me. Sometimes it takes volunteers to watch volunteers pets so they can be able to deploy and help out others. I have my Communications Unit Leader (COML), Communications Technician (COMT) and Auxiliary Emergency Communications (AUXCOMM), Certification(s) I also have The State Tactical On-Scene Channel System (STOCS) Train the Trainer Certificate, L950: NIMS ICS All-Hazards Position Specific Incident Commander, L967: All-Hazards Position Specific Logistics Section Chief Certifications without my PTB completed.

It takes a army of volunteers from all over the country to come together to do their part with the American Red Cross to help others and with the support of people from all over the country to help complete the mission.

The certifications you see on this blog are some I can help out a many different areas cross-trained besides American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Team IT Information Technology.

I'm a member of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) so I can help out with the The MOVE (Mobile Outreach VEhicle) truck. As The American Red Cross and The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) have a partnership. And the IEEE-USA and the American Red Cross have partnership as well.

Feeling proud to be able to show what I had did in pictures photos as this was my first time doing any of this.

The above and only training I had for American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Communications Service Associate. DST-CM-SA. And to my understand there is about 8 or 9 more course classes in the American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Communications Group. So I had a lot of Just-In-Time Training at on a real American Red Cross Deployment. But I ended up doing everything in American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology

I did everything but Communications (Radio) as there was NO (Radio Communications) going on at the time so did Networking (computing), Computer Operations and Customer Service.

I did things like setting up computers, fixing computer issues, IP issues as all and most of the computers to printers where all wireless, you name it I did it just like MacGyver and or James Bond 007. :) Just made it happen with the knowledge I ready had plus also referencing the doc as well.

#WA8UNS @WA8UNS #ThomasQuickKimball #ThomasKimball #ridgefieldct #Ridgefield @ridgefield in #FairfieldCounty #FairfieldCountyCT #CT #Connecticut Thomas Q Kimball of Ridgefield, Connecticut wanted to share he Just got back on October 20th 2017 in which I had started on October 3rd 2017. American Red Cross DR 414-18 Hurricane Irma FL 2017 American Red Cross This being my second National Deployment with the American Red Cross but my first as a American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Communications Service Associate. DST-CM-SA. Setting up our DST Disaster Services Technology VSAT system on a nice hot Florida roof at our new American Red Cross DROHQ Headquarters located in Fort Myers Florida in which the Lee County Chapter American Red Cross was located this was done before the two office suites where days before occupied by the DROHQ Staff. DROHQ was moved from it’s first location in Orlando Florida. I was fortunate to meet up with one of my Joel Barlow High School Redding Connecticut Class of 1989 Alumni while in Florida during this deployment on my day off in Naples Florida and had also traveled to Marco Island Flordia as well.

As I have also will be writting here on my blog is:

DROHQ DR 414-18 Hurricane Irma FL 2017 American Red Cross Hurricane Irma 2017 . This was my 2nd deployment with The American Red Cross Hurricane Irma 2017. This time I was with DROHQ DR 414-18 Hurricane Irma FL 2017 as DST/CM/SA from October 2nd through October 21st 2017. DROHQ was first located in Orlando, Florida and then I was one to two others from DST tasked to set up all communications for the new DROHQ at Fort Myers, Florida. I could not stay to the end of this DROHQ DR 414-18 Hurricane Irma FL 2017 deployment as I had to rest and get ready for a already scheduled DHS FEMA course class at The Center for Domestic Preparedness for ARIO Advanced Radiological Incident Operations. ARIO PER- 905 that was held on October 29th through November 4th. 2017. So I got one week off in between being deployed with the American Red Cross and taking the Advanced Radiological Incident Operations. ARIO PER- 905 Course. Prior to that I had two weeks off before doing this 2nd deployment in which got back from that on September 20th 2017 in which I had started on September 5th 2017. After the The Center for Domestic Preparedness for ARIO Advanced Radiological Incident Operations. ARIO PER- 905 that was held on October 29th through November 4th. 2017 I only had so much sleep before tasked with the communications for the New York Road Runners' (NYRR) TCS New York City Marathon November 5th 2017 as Ham Radio Operator, Amateur Radio Mile Marker 23 in front of 1184 Fifth Ave. Mount Sinai Hospital, Maybe next year in 2018 I will some how be able to compete in this Marathon. yep maybe it's about time I run in the NYC Marathon for 2018 after 7 years of volunteering for it. Hard part is just getting into it and to see about training for it. Would be nice to do if my legs etc up to it

This my first National Deployment with the American Red Cross since I have two animals a dog and cat in whom need to be taken care of as I had written on my Facebook page: Many Thanks must go to my parents Chris and Frances Kimball in whom had watched my two kids of the four legged type. Without there help I would not have been able to leave Ridgefield, CT and be able to help others with the American Red Cross down there in Florida. As I have no wife and or girlfreind and or close freinds to have around to be able to watch and take care of my two kids of the four legged type.
