Local-Level Response
• All disasters are local; response begins locally
• Communication with coalition, regional and state partners should be early in response for: • situational awareness
• possible needed resources
![Page 4: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Multi-Agency Coordination through Georgia’s 14 Coalitions
• Coalitions assist local emergency management and ESF-8 with activities related to healthcare disaster operations
• Mutual aid agreements are invoked based on scope and need
Regional-Level Response

State-Level Response
Assists localities in response and
in communications with cross-border partners and with the federal government
![Page 6: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Georgia Emergency Management Act of 1981
Subject to the direction and control of the Governor, the GEMA Director shall:
• be responsible for the program of emergency management and homeland security in the state
• coordinate emergency management activities of all agencies/organizations within the state, and
• serve as a liaison with other states and the federal government.
![Page 7: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Federal-Level Response
The Governor is the only one who can request the President to declare
a locale a “disaster area,” freeing up money and resources
from the federal government.
![Page 8: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stafford Act
• Designed to bring a systematic method to provide federal assistance for state and local governments
• History: – 1988 U.S. federal law amending the
1974 Disaster Relief Act – Amended by the Disaster Mitigation
Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act in 2006
![Page 9: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Stafford Act
• Allows a Presidential Disaster Declaration of an emergency, triggering financial and physical assistance through FEMA
• Most of the Stafford Act provisions are administered by the Department of Homeland Security (rather than the FEMA Director)
![Page 10: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• FEMA is responsible for coordinating government-wide relief efforts – The National Response Framework
(NRF) includes the contributions of 28 federal agencies and non- governmental organizations, such as the American Red Cross
• Stafford Act assistance is provided through funds appropriated to the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF)
Stafford Act
![Page 11: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stafford Act Actions
Pre-Declaration Commitments: Defense emergency Fire suppression Pre-declaration activities
Declarations: Major disaster declaration Emergency declaration
![Page 12: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Three types of commitments may be made under Stafford Act before a catastrophe occurs:
Defense emergency Fire suppression Pre-declaration activities
Commitments BEFORE a catastrophe
![Page 13: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Commitments BEFORE a catastrophe
Defense Emergency At the Governor’s request, the President enacts the DoD to commit essential resources for emergency work vital to preserve life and property:
– in “the immediate aftermath of an incident” – that may result in the declaration of a major
disaster or emergency
The statute does not define the term “incident”
![Page 14: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fire Suppression • Requires a gubernatorial
request be submitted while an uncontrolled fire is burning
• Supplemental assistance in the form of:
– Grants – Equipment – Personnel – Supplies
Commitments BEFORE a catastrophe
![Page 15: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pre-declaration Activities When human health and safety is threatened,
the Secretary of DHS may pre-position employees and supplies
- Pre-positioning of supplies and resources has been inferred
Commitments BEFORE a catastrophe

or suffering caused thereby.

• builds upon the National Incident Management System (NIMS)
• fosters partnerships at all levels of government and with nongovernmental organizations and the private sector
![Page 21: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
National Response Framework: Five Key Principles
• Engaged partnership
• Tiered response
• Scalable, flexible and adaptable operational capabilities
• Unity of effort through unified command
• Readiness to act

Summary Review Levels of Disaster Response
• Local Regional State Federal
Stafford Act • Authorizes the president to direct ANY federal resource for assistance
Disaster Declaration Process • Local and state requirements
National Response Framework (NRF) • Provides for coordination and lead roles among federal agencies • Outlines plans, scenarios, and tools
Emergency Support Functions • Single cohesive unit for better management of emergency response
functions • Groups ESF-6 and ESF-8
![Page 36: Presentation to: Basic Healthcare Emergency Management …flghc.org/ppt/2014/Training Sessions/TS14 Healthcare Emergency Mgt/Unit 3 Federal State...emergency management and homeland](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062919/5ee34381ad6a402d666d3f29/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Conclusion: Putting it All Together • Disaster happens…response begins locally
– When overwhelmed, the state is contacted
• When the Governor realizes that the state needs more help and can certify it has met all criteria, Presidential assistance can be requested
