History and Early US Legislation:Responding to Lessons Learned
![Page 30: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Disaster Preparedness and Response Legislation
• Before 1950: New law for each disaster.• Federal Disaster Relief Program of 1950:
Supplemented state and local govts to alleviate suffering and damage from major disasters. Only for response.
• Disaster Relief Act of 1966: Expanded federal assistance to recovery to help reestablish communities after disasters.

Legislation 1
• 1970s: Series of wildland fires in California.– Collaborative study of lessons learned– Biggest problems: poor management,
communications– Needed better system for all to work together
(Incident Command System and National Incident Management System have early roots here.)
![Page 32: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Legislation 2• Federal Emergency Management Agency created by
President Carter on March 31, 1979. Transferred all disaster-related statutory authority vested in the Presidency or other Federal agencies to FEMA. http://www.fema.gov/about/history.shtm
• Stafford Act of 1988. Federal assistance only released if governor of state asks or event so catastrophic that federal government must take action. Major legislation under which FEMA operates today. Revised 2011 to include libraries as essential services. http://www.fema.gov/pdf/about/stafford_act.pdf
![Page 33: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Audience Response
Key aspects of the Stafford Act are: A. Responsibility for an incident is handled at the
most local level possible.B. It authorizes the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.C. Libraries are essential services.D. All of the aboveE. A and B only

Consider as you watch the video…
What observations you have about the 9-11 video on World Trade Center Building 5 from the perspective of disaster preparation, planning, response, recovery or mitigation.
In other words, what did we learn from 9-11 for preparation and mitigation in the future?

Discussion 1
What observations do you have about the 9-11 video on World Trade Center Building 5 from the perspective of disaster preparation, planning, response, recovery, or mitigation?
What can/did we learn from 9-11 for preparation for and mitigation in the future?
![Page 38: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What Did We Learn from 9-11?
• Need to more actively prepare at all levels• Need scalable processes for response, even
for incidents we cannot imagine or anticipate• Need standardized, interoperable
communications • Need process for handling spontaneous
onslaught of volunteers• Need strategies for homeland security and a
framework for national response
![Page 39: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Legislative and Federal Initiatives
Homeland Security Act of 2002 restructured various aspects of the Federal government after September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Homeland Security Act of 2002: http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/laws/law_regulation_rule_0011.shtm

FEMA Over Time
• Independent agency under President Carter in 1978, brought together many related agencies
• Purpose: Coordinate response to incidents that overwhelm local and state resources
• Governor must declare state of emergency and request FEMA and federal government response from the President
• Organized as a regional response system• Moved to Department of Homeland Security after 9-
11 for improved coordination with related agencies
![Page 41: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
BUT … WAS FEMA’S ABILITY TO RESPOND TO DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES COMPROMISED WHEN IT WENT UNDER DHS WITH MISSION TO ADDRESS DOMESTIC TERRORISM?
![Page 42: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Homeland Security Act
The primary mission of the Department of Homeland Security is to: – Prevent terrorist attacks within the US –Reduce the vulnerability of the US to terrorism–Minimize the damage and assist in the recovery from
terrorist attacks that do occur in the US
Triggered Homeland Security Presidential Directives:• HSPD-5: Mgmt of Domestic Incidents• HSPD-7: Critical Infrastructure• HSPD-8 (now PPD-8): National Preparedness• HSPD-21: Disaster Healthcare

Unified Command
• At an incident scene (fire, major accident etc.) a “unified command” may be established.
• In this case, Incident Commanders or various representatives share the responsibility for the incident and will manage the response from a single incident together.
• They use a common Command Post and use a consolidated Incident Action Plan (IAP) to direct response activities.
• These commanders will supervise a single command. • Unified command organizes and speaks with one voice.

Discussion 2
A store employee at a small shopping mall discovers a package leaking a noxious smelling chemical in a storage room. No one is sure how long the box has been there, or how long it has been leaking. Employees and customers are beginning to complain about feeling lightheaded and nauseous. The business owner calls 911. In the meantime, the mall security manager arrives to see why people are rushing out of the store. The security manager establishes the initial ICS organization.
• In the incident described above, the mall security manager has assumed which role?

Back to the Homeland Security Presidential Directives
• 2003 - HSPD 5: Calls for a single comprehensive system to enhance ability to manage domestic incidents. Requires DHS to coordinate with other departments and states to establish a National Incident Management System (NIMS) and a National Response Framework (NRF). https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=439105
• PPD 8 describes the way Federal departments and agencies will prepare. Requires DHS to coordinate with other Federal departments and agencies and State, local, and tribal governments to develop national preparedness guidelines. http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/presidential-policy-directive-8-national-preparedness.pdf
![Page 59: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
One More Time: Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 (HSPD-5)
1. Issued by President George W. Bush in February 20032. Created the National Incident Management System (NIMS)3. Consistent template for governmental, private sector, and
nongovernmental organizations4. Applicable to incidents and all hazards to improve coordination
and cooperation between public and private responders5. Requires adoption of NIMS by September 6, 2006, across all
sectors of the federal, state, and local government and by local organizations (except hospitals -> deadline: August 2008)
6. Compliance is a condition for receiving federal assistance.

NIMS – Three Key Organizational Systems
• The Incident Command System defines the operating characteristics, management components, and structure of incident management organizations for the duration of an incident.http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/IncidentCommandSystem.shtm
• The Multiagency Coordination System defines the operating characteristics, management components, and organizational structure of supporting entities.http://www.fema.gov/multiagency-coordination-systems
• The Public Information System includes the processes, procedures, and systems for communicating timely and accurate information to the public during an emergency.http://www.fema.gov/public-information

NIMS Compliance for Hospitals -> Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) 1
• 1980s: Hospital Emergency Incident Command System (HEICS) was foundation for hospitals to respond to various types of disasters.
• 2006: Revision of HEICS, called HICS, expands on:– Predictable chain of command– Accountability of position and team function with prioritized
action checklists– Common language for interagency communication– Clarify how HICS relates to NIMS– Integrate chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive
(CBRNE) events– Standardized and scalable IMS. All hospitals, including rural and
small facilities. Includes non-emergent incidents or events.
![Page 65: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
NIMS Compliance for Hospitals -> Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) 2
• Requirements for hospitals by the NIMS Integration Center (NIC) in Appendix I: “NIMS Implementation Activities for Hospitals and Healthcare Systems.”
• 17 hospital-specific elements including:– Preparedness activities– Resource management– Communications and information management– Supporting technologies– Training and exercises
• Not a single approach to emergency preparedness but steps to improve hospital readiness and integration into a community-based response
![Page 66: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
HICS Developed By …
• National Work Group – 20 hospital subject-matter experts
• DHS – NIMS Integration Center (NIC)• DHHS – Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA)• American Hospital Association - American
Society for Healthcare Engineering • Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)

Steps in Developing Hospital Emergency Management Plans
1. Designate an Emergency Program Manager 2. Establish the Emergency Management Committee3. Develop an all hazards Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)4. Conduct a Hazard Vulnerability Analysis5. Develop incident-specific Planning Guides6. Coordinate with external entities7. Train key staff8. Conduct exercises of the EOP, incident-specific 9. Conduct program review and evaluation10. Learn from the lessons identified
![Page 69: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The Hospital Emergency Management Plan
should draw from:
• NIMS• ICS• HSPD-5• Federal Preparedness Circular 65 - Continuity
of Operations• State, local & nongovernmental regulatory
standards• Disaster research
![Page 70: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Roles and Responsibilities(drawn from NIMS but now applied to hospitals)
• Incident commander sets objectives and strategies and priorities and has overall responsibility for managing the incident
• Operations conducts tactical operations to meet objectives
• Planning collects and evaluates information for decision support, maintains resource status info
• Logistics provides support, resources and essential services to meet the objectives
• Finance/administration monitors costs, does accounting, procurement, time recording and cost analysis.

Purpose of Standardized ICS/HICS Position Titles
1. Reduce confusion within a hospital or with outside agencies or other healthcare facilities by providing a common standard for all users.
2. Allow the position to be filled with the most qualified individual rather than by seniority.
3. Facilitate requests for qualified personnel, especially if they come from outside the hospital during surge.
![Page 73: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
6 Steps of Hospital Incident Planning
1. Understanding the hospital policy and direction2. Assessing the situation3. Establishing incident objectives4. Determining appropriate strategies to achieve the
objectives5. Giving tactical direction and ensuring that it is
followed (e.g., correct resources assigned to complete a task and their performance monitored)
6. Providing necessary back-up (assigning more or fewer resources, changing tactics, more)

National Response Framework
Part of the National Strategy for Homeland Security that provides guiding principles to enable all levels of domestic response partners to prepare for and provide a unified national response to disasters and emergencies.– Builds on NIMS and ICS, working hand in hand with NIMS.– NIMS provides template for management of incidents.– NRF provides structure and mechanisms for national-level policy for
incident management.– Coordinating structures are always in effect for implementation.

Questions for Consideration 1
As you watch the presentation about a US NGO response to the Haiti earthquake, consider:
• What evidence do we see that ICS is being followed? Who is the incident commander? What type of command?
• What do we see regarding communications in an emergency/disaster?
• What evidence do we see of interagency cooperation?• What needs are there for information and intelligence?
What are the potential roles for an information specialist?

Lessons Learned • Repeating the obvious: Preparation, prior
relationships and preexisting cultural competencies are the key
• Not everyone sees the need for health information• NLM helps us get attention, a very scarce resource• Consider availability of all technologies, and none• Although librarians are not necessarily the intended
audience for EAI, we should actively promote it - now • Commit to act• But it is very hard to prove impact

Audience Response Question 3
The Emergency Access Initiative allows:A. Health care providers to have access to restricted
areas.B. Individuals to have free access to select health
information resources during a disaster or emergency.
C. Registered health providers to administer vaccines without concern for malpractice suits.

Putting It Together: The Role of the Information Specialist
![Page 142: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
Discussion 6
• Based on what you have learned in this class, what roles do you think a disaster information specialist might assume in disasters/emergencies?
• How must disaster information specialists prepare to take those roles?
![Page 143: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Summary• Current efforts are not perfect and continue to
evolve.• We must use common language and organization.• Framework comes from lessons learned and
efforts to anticipate.• Response must begin at the most local level and
escalate as needed.• There is currently no predefined role for an
information specialist, but opportunity and value are obvious.
![Page 144: US Response to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies Medical Library Association Mary Moore, PhD Kimberly A. Loper, MLIS University of Miami Miller School](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649d9e5503460f94a87c35/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
Core Take Aways
• Librarians have a role in phases of disaster/emergencies.• There is a way to go about helping so your efforts do not
hinder other responders.• There is a framework for response and it can be applied
to information support.• What we have addressed in this class is just one piece of
the puzzle. There are more classes to take. There are more things to learn.
• Use the National Library of Medicine and the many rich resources!
