Housekeeping
• Bathroom• Fire Alarm, exit• Ask question as we go along
Reserved the right to “go off line”• This is your training
GOAL FOR TODAY
• Understand the GIS role in the SEMS structure during an emergency
• Products that will be expected (24 hr clock)
• Tools that are available• How to use those tools
2: JaneWhat to expect when reporting to
Incident Command
Nothing Ever Happens
• Fall 2007 – Southern California wildfires• July 2008 – Mud/debris flows – Inyo County
Mud Flow• January 2009 – Medford Island Levee repair• August 2009 – Ship soft grounding – Bradford
Island • October 12-13, 2009 – Columbus Day Storms• Golden Guardian Exercise 2010/2011• F-CO Exercise 2009/2010/2011
Standardized EmergencyManagement System (SEMS)
• A framework for coordinating emergency response in California
• Utilizes the Incident Command System originally developed by fire agencies for managing wildfire response
SEMS Organization
MANAGEMENT
OPERATIONSPLANNING /
INTELLIGENCELOGISTICS FINANCE /
ADMINISTRATION
Planning / Intelligence Functions
• Collect/analyze information• Develop situation reports• Action Planning• Advance Planning• Technical Specialists• Demobilization
Agency Roles & Responsibilities
DWR’s Role: Emergencies
• Emergencies are declared by local, county (OA) or the State (Governor), not DWR or NWS
• DWR and NWS do not order evacuations• The FOC provides public warnings & technical
assessments for emergency managers, law enforcement and government agencies
• The FOC provides public information to the media and citizens
DWR Emergency Response Priorities
• Protect life, property, and infrastructure• Protect water quality and water supply• Protect the environment
Flood Operations Organizational Concept
3: JonOperating in the field and six legged
lamb
Flood Alerts and ActivationFlood Alert is declared by the Flood Operations Branch Chief due to:• Forecasts of sustained storm patterns and
resulting flood potentials• Need for coordinated field operations• Technical assistance requests from local
agencies• Activation of local / regional emergency
operations centers
A Flood Alert is what “activates” the FOC under SEMS up to 24 hour operation
Flood Alerts and Activation
Flood Mobilization is declared by the Flood Operations Branch Chief when the FOC needs additional:
• Personnel
• Equipment
• Material
• Financial resources
EMERGENCY RESPONSIBILITY
• You are on an “on call” list• Know your ICT Director and team
members• Know the area of responsibility your ICT
will cover, i.e. South San Joaquin, N Sac
PREPARATION
• “To go” box in trunk of car• “To go” box at office• Checklist handout• Phone numbers
INCIDENT COMMAND
• Report to the Plans Chief or ICT Director• Prepare your work area
• Are you in a trailer or truck• Set up laptop, printer
• IT Support• ICT member or FOC
• Time sheet, ICT forms (page 26)
INCIDENT COMMANDGIS WORKSTATION
• No connectivity for 12-72 hrs• Laptop or stand alone GIS license• External drive or thumb drive• “To go” box with food, clothes• “To go” box with office supplies
GIS Tools, Introduction and Review
