2007 APHL Conference 4 June 2007
Where Did THIS Come From?!?!?
WHY Are We Doing This?
• Called for in HSPD-8• A NATION PREPARED with coordinated
capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all hazards in a way that balances risk with resources.
• A vision of where we’re headed: what national preparedness means, in an environment of uncertainty and risk
• Priorities to guide near-term preparedness planning
• A capabilities-based approach to guide planning, assessment, training, exercises, evaluation, and resource allocation
WHO is Involved?
• Consensus based approach• Federal agencies shaped the Goal and
developed the Target Capabilities List: HHS, USDA, FEMA, DoD, and the US Coast Guard, DHS
• 100+ National Associations reviewed the goal and participated in TCL development
• States, local jurisdictions, private sectors provided input
• 55 States and Territories provided feedback during Mobile Implementation Team visits

Activity Map
Site Removal, Remediation, Decontamination, and Assessment Critical Preparedness Tasks• Agreement within federal, state, and local
partners:• Standardized electronic data format for sampling
and modeling data• Standardized laboratory certification, methods,
data reporting, and quality assurance• Standardized remedial action plan format with all
stakeholders• MOUs with agencies and partners to outline
procedures for determination of site removal, remediation, and decontamination is complete, including turning over site to stakeholders
Site Removal, Remediation, Decontamination, and Assessment –Capability Responsibility• Based on EPA model for 5 simultaneous
incidents or 1 incident of national significance
• Scenarios selected affect the laboratory capability or capacity peripherally• Other scenarios (blister agent, nerve agent,
chlorine tank car, etc.) may be more appropriate• Worker safety and health will require continuous
monitoring and assessment• On-scene remediation may require complex
sampling plan and needs
Environmental Monitoring & Assessment – APHL, LRN, Laboratory Implications
• Large responsibility falls on Federal & State agencies• Funding will be MAJOR issue – who and how?
• Public Health and Environmental Laboratory capabilities may be tasked or redirected• Not all laboratories conduct environmental,
radiological, chemical, or biological activities to same level
• NELAC Institute or other accreditation may be an issue
• Laboratory space and capacity• Laboratory agreements and contracts - surge
capacity enforcement during sustained incident?• NIMS Typed Labs?
Site Remediation & Assessment –APHL, LRN, Laboratory Implications
• Large responsibility falls on Federal and State agencies• Funding will be MAJOR issue – who and how?
• Laboratory analysis capabilities may be tasked or redirected• Long term analysis and assessment may be
required – Who will pay for it? When does it end?• Laboratory agreements and contracts - surge
capacity enforcement during sustained incident?• Emerging technologies may prove cost prohibitive
to implement
TCL Implications - Funding
• Funding – targeted capability lists and universal task lists are developed under assumption of infinite resources and funding
• Currently no source of funding – implementation strategy under development
• State, local, and regional integration is required -pooling of resources strongly recommended
• Utilization of federal assets when needed or required;• Local, state, regional coordination must recognize need for
federal involvement• 72-96 hours (min.) for federal response in may cases – can
you stand on your own?
Recommendations – Planning for the Future of Public Health
• Public Health strategic planning includes:• All-hazards approach integrating the:
• National Preparedness Goal (NPG)• National Response Plan (NRP)• National Preparedness Scenarios (NPS)• National Incident Management System (NIMS)
• Continuity of Operations (COOP)
Recommendations – Planning for the Future of Public Health
• Expanded laboratories for a variety of analysis types and/or media• All-Hazards Receipt Facility• SAM 3.0• NELAC • Mobile Laboratories
• Expansion of existing monitoring systems• Biomonitoring becomes biota monitoring• Strengthening technologies and techniques for
remote sensing and monitoring• Interoperability of existing and proposed data
networks
Recommendations – Planning for the Future of Public Health
• Integration of laboratory networks utilizing the LRN model (ICLN?)• Expanded LRN model for a variety of
laboratory capabilities (radiological, biological, chemical, etc.)
• Integration with local, state, and regional resources to ensure adequate capability and capacity exists for routine and incident monitoring, analysis, and interoperability of systems
• Integration of data networks and monitoring systems
Continuing Process
• TCLs are continuing through 07• Environmental Health TCL meeting
coincides with EHC In-Person• Environmental Monitoring and Site
Remediation teleconferences• Goal was to be complete by 1 March 07• Phase 3 to begin simultaneously upon
release of Phase 2 documentation• Includes feedback by all stakeholders• Who has received datasheets?
What Should Labs Expect?
• Distribution of current draft of TCLs• Requests for review and comment on
TCL Phase II findings• NIMS Typing of Resources
• Teams standing up – negotiation time!• NIMS! NIMS! NIMS!
• Increased interaction is vital• EPA is lead agency on these TCLs• Assignment of funding• Ownership of targeted resources
