  1. Evolution of Emergency Management and Private Sector PreparednessAccredited Standards~ Key Steps in Their Broader Adoption and Use Mr. Ashley P. Moore Senior Preparedness Policy Advisor Standards & Technology Branch Incident Management Systems Integration Division National Preparedness Directorate Federal Emergency Management Agency

  2. Emergency Management and Private Sector Preparedness Standards • Emergency Management • NFPA 1600 (2007) Standard on Disaster Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs • Evolving: EMAP-Emergency Management Accreditation Program (ANSI PINS) • Emergency Management and Private Sector Preparedness • NFPA 1600 (2007) Standard on Disaster Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs • ASIS SPC.1-2009 Organizational Resilience: Security, Preparedness and Continuity Management Systems - Requirements with Guidance for Use • BSI 25999 Business Continuity Management • Evolving: ISO 223 Societal Security

  3. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Circular A-119 Circular A-119 “Federal Participation the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities” (February 1998) Guidance on Participation in the Development and Use of Non-Government Standards Dated: December 2007 Version 1.0 The Circular reiterates the Act’s requirements for the use of voluntary standards and provides guidance to promote consistent application of the Act across federal agencies and departments. In addition to being the law, it is the best interest of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to participate the development of non-government standards (NGSs) and to adopt and use them to the extent feasible, practical, and economical. Federal Role, Authority & Guidance

  5. The CaseforPreparedness

  6. 9/11 Commission Recommendation

  7. Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004

  8. Hurricane Katrina, and Rita 2005Small Businesses • Small businesses are a major part of any economy, accounting in the U.S. for approximately 75 percent of all net new jobs. • Small businesses are also the most vulnerable to a disaster. • In fact, Hurricane Katrina touched more than 80,000 small businesses across the Gulf Coast region in 2005. • Some experts believe that 60 percent of those businesses are not coming back. • Small businesses in the upper Texas Gulf Coast region were also hit very hard by Ike. • There is a great need for financial assistance for these businesses. • Experts generally agree that without financing and assistance, these businesses may not return, which could cause great economic upheaval since many of the communities affected by the storm rely on small businesses for much of their revenue. • Of particular concern is that many small businesses sustained more than 50 percent damage, and may be required to rebuild elevated structures or pay increased rent to cover the costs incurred by the property owner to rebuild in compliance with current codes. • Such endeavors are extremely costly and may be out of reach for small businesses that have already lost significant revenue from downtime and lost inventory.

  9. Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act (2007)Public Law 110-53 Title IX: Private Sector Preparedness

  10. Hurricane IKE 2008 • Small locally owned businesses were hit particularly hard by Ike. • The majority of experts interviewed by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) stated that there is a great need for financing to get these businesses back up and running. • There were concerns that if immediate steps are not taken to provide assistance to these businesses, they may never come back. • This could cause great economic upheaval because many of the affected communities rely on small businesses for much of their revenue and the businesses are essential to their local economies. 2005 2008 34 Counties 22 Counties 3 Years Later The map above indicates the counties of Texas that suffered the effects of two major hurricanes within three years. The counties marked in red experienced actual physical damage from the storms. Those in orange did not, but because of the interdependence of the economy, they still deal with significant indirect economic effects from the disruption in neighboring counties.

  11. Private Sector Preparedness,Risk Management, & BC Standards • Preparedness • Loss Avoidance • Risk Transfer - Insurance IdentifyAnalyzeReduce Transfer Individual Risk Preparedness Planning Transfers across all domains Business Risk • Owner • Corporate Management • Executive Board • Operator/Manager • Employee • Faith Based • NGO’s • Communities-Urban/Community • Development • Businesses Business and Community Risk Build and Enhance Community Resilience

  12. The Challenge What next? Integrated supply chains Natures Catastrophic Events Outsourcing Off shoring Local production Complexity Contagious Disease Outbreaks e.g. Pandemic flu War against terror IT Security & Failure Sever Storms/Flooding Fire Over time

  13. Business Continuity Buffer Zone Distinctly Focused on BC Preparedness and Planning Unforeseen Hazards

  14. Blast Effects: Perception vs. Reality

  15. Private Sector Business Preparedness & Continuity: The Planning Buffer Zone No Sense of Community and Resiliency

  16. Private Sector Business Preparedness & Continuity:The Planning Buffer Zone and Cross-Sector Interdependencies: Risk Analysis Factors Vulnerability Considerations Critical Infrastructure, Roads, Streets, Hwys, Seaports Demographic Factors Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Impact Analysis Addressing Risk Assessment, Impact Analysis as the Center of Gravity” Population: Death and Injury Built Environment Other surrounding Infrastructure Damage to Infrastructure Network Grids Technological Infrastructure Environmental Terrain Topographic Current Data on Magnitude And Intensity Demographic Factors Private Sector–“Your Business”

The Committee was given the responsibility to develop documents relating to preparedness for, response to, and recovery from disasters resulting from natural, human, or technological events. The first document that the committee focused on was NFPA 1600, Recommended Practice for Disaster Management. NFPA 1600 was presented to the NFPA membership at the 1995 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado.

  21. NFPA1600—2010

  22. ANSI and EMAP • June 2008 EMAP Becomes a Standards Development Organization • Feb 2009 EMAP Submits an ANSI Project Initiation Notification Statement (PINS) to develop an ANSI Accredited Voluntary Consensus Base Emergency Management Standard • Timeframe: Published by Jan-Mar 2010

  24. Questions "The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." ...Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
