ISSUES  EOC and Incident Command (MINN Bridge Collapse AAR)  Cost Reimbursement  Information Processing  Logistics (Resources, “STUFF”)  Training

EOC and Incident Command  Emergency Operations Center vs. Incident Command Statewide/Jurisdiction Wide Focus i.e. an Area Situational Awareness for the elected leadership Deals with the politics so the first responder does not have to Resource Provider – the Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAST), IDL Type III Incident Command Team is a provided resource Plans, Logistics and Finance

EOC and Incident Command  Incident Command FOCUS is the Incident TACTICAL-Plans, Operations, Logistics, Finance Authority/Limits based on Delegation of Authority from the Jurisdiction Leadership Handles the incident not the politics Identifies the resources required and orders them from the EOC

Cost Reimbursement  State Declaration triggers availability of the State Disaster Emergency Account – ID Code,  The account shall only be used to pay obligations and expenses incurred by the state of ID during a declared state of emergency  State Administrative Plan to mirror that found with the Federal Government and in ID Code  Cost Share mirrors the non-Federal Share apportioned to local taxing entities – 10%

Information Processing  ID State EOC uses WebEOC to process information Automated/Real Time NIMS/ICS forms are the basis(Situation Report, Action Request Form, Mission Assignment) Broadband is the carrier Phone/Fax work as well EOC SOP documents the process Transparent process  Jurisdiction EOCs connected and utilizing WebEOC is the goal.

Information Processing  We only know what we know  Talk to your counterpart: Jurisdiction EOC to State EOC  Generally, in a State Declared Incident, the Incident Command Team works for a jurisdiction, not the State EOC.  The AFO is a great tool to ensure information is flowing and if not why not and can make it work! – use them.

Logistics  Mutual Aid is very good, most responsive at least cost  Request for Assistance/Action Request Form/Mission Assignment/Project Agreement = “STUFF” and services  Don’t wait until you are out to order/request  Mission Request = State Agency resource  Project Agreement = Jurisdiction contract  Status is on WebEOC or a phone call to Logistics Section, Mission Assignment Unit

Training  It is not a good time to find out you need training when you are in the middle of a crises What have you been told to do? Expectations, Regulations, the LAW. Training – Ensures that the skill set is present Exercise – Practices how to use the skill set GOTTA HAVE BOTH / Hand in Glove  Needs Assessment is key – don’t fool yourself Enough Personnel Adequate Processes. if it is not a process then someone will make it up Does everyone understand…elected officials- don’t forget them

Training  You will do what you have practiced……or not
