12. BUILDING STRONG ® Pre-Negotiated Scope of Work Agreement on Costs “Verbal” Mission Assignment Save time on mobilization and execution Pre-Scripted Mission Assignments

13. BUILDING STRONG ® Functional Teams (i.e. Logistics, Real Estate, Resource Management, etc.) Disaster Site Temp Housing Emergency Power Debris Removal Deploy within 6 hours Deploy within 6 hours Supported Division Commodities Temp Roofing Infrastructure Assessments Planning and Response Teams (PRT) Local Government Liaisons (LGL)

14. BUILDING STRONG ®  USACE has a large and robust contracting capability  USACE personnel (planning and response teams) accept the task orders from FEMA and manage the work performed by contractors and manage the contracts  USACE has large and small business single and multiple award contracts that we use for most of the work  USACE contracting office tries to quickly transition from the Advanced Contracting Initiative (ACI) to local small business contractors for the Debris Mission: often this does not happen well since there are almost always some delay and/or bid protests, or at times it is difficult to segregate separable work.  Currently in the process or have just updated many of the ACI contracts – Debris, Power, Roofing.  ACI contract allows for: immediate response, Maximum local hiring and subcontracting, know and stable pricing, reduced costs, private sector partners, improved performance, and standardized contracts. 14 USACE & Contracts

16. BUILDING STRONG ®  USACE model results are used for initial post-disaster commodity and other planning requirements by a variety of local, State, and Federal partners. Model run results include items such as: ► Debris quantity estimates ► Temporary Roofing estimates ► Temporary Housing estimates ► Potential impacts to Critical Public Facilities  These model estimate results are listed by State and then by projected impacted counties in the model runs  Models posted on USACE Public website: ► http://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/EmergencyOperations.aspx http://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/EmergencyOperations.aspx USACE NRF Mission Models

17. BUILDING STRONG ® Mission – Install/Maintain FEMA generators at critical Facilities and utilities. Assess, haul, install, maintain, remove, make ready for storage. ACI Contract. Complex – extensive, quick on-the- ground coordination required between USACE, contractor, power companies and locals/facility (and sometimes the state and local police) Flexible – USACE will perform scalable mission sets or tech assistance to the state or locals as FCO desires. Note: some states are more capable than others – early identification of state capability and movement is critical. Temporary Emergency Power Best Practice – Do not under staff the initial push – will lead quickly to issues. Example: Type 4 is least expensive but not capable of more than Tech Assistance. USACE can NOT install GenSets without the contractor. Preposition for ice storms – equipment does not deploy well after – double edged sword – this supports more deployments without any real mission. New Initiatives – Emergency Power Facility Assessment Tool (EPFAT)

18. BUILDING STRONG ® Best Practice : bring in at least one SME immediately - if not needed we re-deploy, but if needed, can start a lot of action with the state/tribe with just one SME. Use rental trailers that allow for FEMA contracted tractors to haul from ISB or FSA to PODs. New Initiatives – Ice and Water no longer considered an initial response resource Volunteer Organizations have greater role in POD distribution Commodities Mission – National Level (NRCC). Flexible – Commodities can be delivered down to PODs, but most often sent to ISBs. Trucks tracked with GPS. Technical Assistance provided for Distribution. Can track FEMA commodities at ISB and FSA. Assist State and Locals to estimate burn-rates and future requirements – teach how to establish a POD.

19. BUILDING STRONG ®DebrisManagement Mission – All work under State/Local led Debris Task Force. Provide services to remove, reduce and dispose of eligible debris. Provide Technical Assistance, Federal, State & Local. ACI Contract. Complex – many sub-elements; vegetative, C&D, demo, PPDR &ROEs, stumps, waste streams, TDRS, long- haul disposal sites, ADMS, etc. Flexible – can perform full mission, specified pieces of mission in conjunction with state/locals, and/or provide tech assistance. Best Practice – bring in the SME early to assist in developing the plan – PA Pilot, DFA, Tech Assistance New Initiatives – ADMS (Automated Debris Management System) Contract Coverage to include all US, Hawaii, and US Territories

20. BUILDING STRONG ® Mission – Two-Fold (Preparedness and Response) Funded by FEMA to provide Structures Specialists Training to FEMA US&R Task Forces and other rescue units. Respond with US&R Task Forces/IST’s to mitigate hazards and assist US&R operations. (ie: design and install shoring, identify voids, etc) Complex – StS Cadre comprised of seasoned and specially trained Structural Engineers. Extensive training requirements, technical expertise and specialized equipment. Flexible – Capable of supporting other missions requiring Structural or other Engineering expertise. Best Practice – Activate the USACE StS Cadre simultaneously with US&R Task Forces/Incident Support Team. ESF #9 MA issued from NRCC to USACE. Notable Deployments – Oklahoma City – Federal Building Bombing 911 – Pentagon and World Trade Center Haiti Earthquake – Hotel Montana Recovery Support to Urban Search and Rescue – Structures Specialist Cadre (StS)

21. BUILDING STRONG ® TemporaryRoofing Mission – Provide services to install FEMA furnished plastic sheeting on damaged roofs to provide temporary shelter. ACI Contract. Last Roofing mission occurred during Hurricane Ike (SEP 08) Intense – requires a lot of personnel to immediately gather applications, confirm damage at each home and obtain ROEs. Flexible – can perform the mission and/or teach VOADs. If fewer than 5000 roofs, USACE is not a good option. Best Practice – FEMA quickly establishes and publishes an application cut off date. Applications at DRCs and at separate USACE “lemonade stands.” Self-help tarps (if still used) are from FEMA Log and distributed at PODs with other commodities. New Initiatives – Partner with Volunteer Agencies (VOADs)

22. BUILDING STRONG ® Critical Public Facilities and Temporary Housing Mission – USACE is a member of the Housing Mission Planning Team. No ACI for housing – use local construction contract or borrow capacity from Huntington District if available. Provide services to design and construct temporary public facilities and temporary housing. Includes schools, police and fire stations, local government offices, trailer installation. Complex – requires constant coordination to identify best group sites with infrastructure, “wrap-around” services, and fulfills DoJ “accommodations (ADA)” requirements. Flexible – can perform haul and install to private, commercial, or group sites. Can build out commercial sites. Full group site construction. Best Practice – Early decision on paving roads for ADA drives site drainage construction which is costly to fix later. Construction near airports and any road alterations requires lead time and significant additional coordination with airports and local/state DOT. Storm Shelters must be considered in areas prone to tornado activity FEMA performs lease-ins and manages group sites after occupancy Largest Mission to date – Installed 1,029 temporary buildings and 2,500 trailers following Hurricane Katrina

23. BUILDING STRONG ® InfrastructureAssessment Mission – Assess residential structures following earthquakes and floods. Determine the habitability (red, yellow, green placards). Can also provide Technical Assistance for electrical, mechanical, geotechnical, water/ wastewater infrastructure. Flexible – PRT has wide ranging capabilities: Applied Technology Council (ATC) 20 (Post Earthquake) & 45 (Post Flood) Residential Structural Safety Assessments. Last mission was Katrina. Water/Wastewater and other infrastructure related assessments. Capable of conducting emergency repairs, but rarely used. Wide range of technical assistance capabilities. Used extensively in NJ following Sandy. Best Practice – Issue Water/Wastewater related mission assignment through ESF #3 and not ESF #10. ESF #3 sub-tasks EPA to augment USACE water sector expertise. MOU with EPA in progress defining roles and responsibilities. Deploy IA PRT Management Cell to manage multiple technical assistance missions, regardless if they are FOS or DFA.

24. BUILDING STRONG ® Support to Urban Search & Rescue (US&R)  USACE has a Cadre of specially trained US&R Structures Specialists (US&R StS)  Minimum Qualification Requirements: Complete the FEMA Structural Specialist Course (StS1), facilitated by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Licensed Professional Engineer with specialization in structures or equivalent as sanctioned by the FEMA US&R Structures Sub- Group.
