Emergency Management Scenario One CJA/375 Version 3 University of Phoenix Material Emergency Management Scenario One SEVERE WEATHER FLOOD Major portions of the city have been affected by sudden severe weather with hail and heavy rains. These have caused the North River to flood parts of the City of Mertzville. These incidents are reported across a large scale area. You have received an emergency declaration from your Mayor and are asked to immediately respond and implement the Incident Command System (ICS) and emergency management response. Overview: The North River flows south through the City of Mertzvile. This river flows through the entire town. This includes flowing past an industrial business park where several manufacturing plants and wherehouses store various dangerous chemicals and much of the cities food storage, and the cities vibrant downtown riverfront district, which includes, shopping, restaurants, and condominiums. This severe flooding has caused the North River to displace all businesses within one block of the river and some residences in the downtown riverfront area. The North River has not flooded in over 100 years and this event was unplanned. Your learning team assignment requires a response plan to the flooded area along with the coordination and implementation of a disaster response. As part of this assignment your learning team must: Create a 1050-1400 word detailed executive summary and operations plan detailing: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Initial response Incident management/establishment including ICS Org. Chart Demobilization of resources Restoration Recovery approach to the North River flood emergency management scenario Create a 15-20 slide PowerPoint presentation detailing your learning teams’ initial emergency response, incident management (ICS) establishment, and overall approach to the emergency management scenario. Your presentation must include the following: • • • • • • • • • • An overview of the emergency management incident Initial response, roles, and assignment of first responders (patrol officers, fire, ems) The full range of Incident Command System (ICS) including: o command, structure, sections, positions, and roles. o All positions must be documented by title, role, and assignment, with assigned personnel for each position. o You must have all roles included in a proper detailed organization chart. Public information statement Social media approach and information dissemination Traffic plan Evacuation plan Medical plan Demobilization plan Mitigation concerns must be addressed with an area recovery plan Answer the following questions at the end of your presentation: Copyright © 2016 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved. 1 Emergency Management Scenario One CJA/375 Version 3 • • • • Should there be national standards for emergency management operations plans at large-scale sporting events? How do you notify citizens or give better response and evacuation instructions? How do you deal with internal communications of those working in the explosive environment and may not be able to utilize radios/communication equipment? What are your plans for documenting the event for future training and response approaches? How can training be improved for better response to future emergency preparedness and incidents? You have the flexibility to improvise or realistically create information or details not included in the emergency management materials. Critical elements of this assignment focus on your team’s ability to understand differing ways and means to apply the emergency management process and approach to safely manage critical incidents. These incidents often involve tough decisions including assignments, personnel, equipment, training, and other factors affecting employees. See the attached map for basic references and planning.

The Initial First Responders' Response and Approach: Roles and Assignments of EMS team, Patrol Officers, Fire Team (Ryan) The primary objective includes actions taken to save lives, preventing further damage to property and lives further downstream from the chemical leakages-evacuations, leading the affected to safety, putting out the fire while providing medical intervention to the injured. • In the initial response phase, the primary activities at this phase includes mobilization of the right emergency services and the first responders to the flooded areas. The initial response will be made up of the emergency services personnel who include the police, the fire teams, and the ambulance crew. • The response is guided by the primary objectives of this phase which in saving lives and the prevention of further damages as a result of the floods. The control of the flood impacts which includes the chemical leakages to avoid further impact downstream. It will involve putting action in the preparation plans. • Other critical activities of this stage include carrying out assessment of the extent of damage, carrying out search and rescue operations, control of fire, and ensuring that the victims are led out of harm’s way to safety and that they are attended to by healthcare personnel, they are getting all the medical attention needed as first aid in designated location and for critical cases they are rushed to healthcare facilities for more interventions. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DRILL PART II • 3 The organizational response at this stage which according to the impact of the flooding rank as a significant disaster and so it relies on the existing emergency management organizational system as well as process that rely on the guidelines of the Incident Command System (ICS) and the Federal Response Plan (FRP). B. The Incident Management: ICS Command, Structure, the Positions, and Roles including draft ICS Org. Chart (Brandon) The Incident Command System (ICS) is a key feature of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). ICS is designed to enable effective and efficient domestic incident management by integrating a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure. This standardized management tool facilitates major functional areas to aid in structure. Command, structure, positions and roles are all a combination of involved factors developed to assist important factors involved in incident complexity. a. “Structurally, Command comprises Incident Commander (IC) and the Command Staff” (Walsh et al., 2012). The Command Staff has the responsibility for the overall management of the incident. Where IC is the person responsible for all aspects of an emergency response; developing objectives, managing operations, and applying effective resources. Which can also be structured in single or unified command. Single command is the command function within a single jurisdiction. There is a single IC with the sole responsibility of the incident strategies and management. Unified Command (UC) is a multijurisdictional incident where multiple agencies are EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DRILL PART II 4 responsible for coordinating, planning, and addressing the incident. The Command Staff positions are based on whether the Command function is single or unified, but are identified as the Public Information Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. b. “The Incident Command System (ICS) is normally structured to facilitate activities in five major functional areas: command, operations, planning, logistics, finance and administration” (FEMA, 2018). With Intelligence and Investigations sometimes listed as a sixth functional area. Not all of the ICS positions need to be activated during each incident. Within the Operations Section, the primary structures are Branch Director, Division or Group Supervisors, Strike Team and Task Force Leaders, and Single Resource Leader. c. Positions- Levels within the ICS organization, district titles, standardized position titles. At each level within the ICS organization, individuals with primary responsibility positions have district titles. This aids in distinguishing a common standard and consistency. Organizational Level Incident Command Command Staff General Staff (Section) Branch Division/Group Unit Strike Team/Task Force Title Incident Commander Officer Chief Director Supervisor Leader Leader Support Position Deputy Assistant Deputy Deputy N/A Manager Single Resource Boss EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DRILL PART II d. Roles- Responsibilities of Incident Commander, Operations Section Chief (OPS), Division Supervisor, Group supervisors, Single Resource Leader, and Task Forces and Strike Teams. 5 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DRILL PART II 6 References FEMA.
