  1. LESSONS LEARNED 2005 NATIONAL INCIDENT COMMANDER/AREA COMMANDER AFTER ACTION REVIEWS

  2. AFTER ACTION REVIEWS & CURRENT STATUS • IC/AC GROUP PRODUCED 2 AAR’S IN DECEMBER, 2005: • One focusing on the National Response Plan • One focusing on issues within the control of the Wildland Fire Community • The NRP AAR sent to the Sec. of DHS and the Acting Director of FEMA • The Internal AAR sent to National/Regional Fire Directors, NWCG, NMAC, etc.

  3. NRP AAR – KEY POINTS & ONGOING REVISIONS • THE NRP LACKS SUBSTANCE • Roles and Responsibilities need to be expanded – especially as they relate to the ESF-4 • The NRP relies on local response – fails to recognize or plan for the cascading effect of the collapse of local/state government • The NRP fails to provide a clear, coordinated organization for emergency response needs • NRP processes and systems lacking to support a disaster and reflect the sense of urgency demanded by those affected

  4. NRP AAR – KEY POINTS & ONGOING REVISIONS • NRP LACKS SUBSTANCE – STATUS REPORT • ESF-4 issue being addressed – includes: • “Typing” of ESF-4 skills • Utilizing USFA to represent “structural ESF-4” • Qualifications • Position Task Book • Other ESF’s?

  5. NRP AAR – KEY POINTS & ONGOING REVISIONS • The failure to plan for the collapse of local/state government • Also recognized by the White House report • Being discussed – resolution: unknown • The need to provide a clear, coordinated organization for emergency response • IC/AC Group provided a recommended “field organization to the Sec. of DHS • IC/AC Group has formally begun working with HSOC to assist in the resolution of this issue • PFO – likely to utilize IMT to run JFO

  6. NRP AAR – KEY POINTS & ONGOING REVISIONS • Processes and systems not in place • Single point ordering and tracking system under development • ROSS will be utilized to track and status resources • THE ROLE AND CAPABILITIES OF IMT’S IS POORLY UNDERSTOOD • The leadership and management model of IMT’s is being recognized: PFO’s, Secretary, Director, HSOC • Expect more, not less reliance (we can’t do this without you – USCG, FEMA – USFA) • Pre-scripted mission assignments being developed • Agreements with States

  7. NRP AAR – KEY POINTS & ONGOING REVISION • NRP FISCAL-RELATED POLICIES AS THEY RELATE TO IMT’S NEED CLARIFICATION • Need a clear definition of fiscal authority and accountability for IMTs • Resolution: unknown • THE NEED TO ENGAGE THE WILDLAND FIRE GROUP IN THE REVISION OF THE NRP • DOA/DOI have requested involvement in re-write or review • Development of the “All Hazards” Doctrine • Dale Dague/Steve Gage – current FS WO reps • Chair IC/AC group partner up with CG/HSOC

  8. INTERNAL AAR –KEY POINTS – CURRENT STATUS • ROLE OF THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA • Causes confusion and duplication – a parallel organization for emergency response • Clarification is being developed – SE GA • THE NEED FOR AN ALL-HAZARD TOOL KIT • Databases, standard plans for military bases, cache vans specific to all hazard, agreements, etc. • Under development – also recognized is SA AAR

  9. INTERNAL AAR – KEY POINTS – CURRENT STATUS • OBLIGATION OF AGENCY $ WITHOUT CLEAR AUTHORITY • An issue for both federal and non-Federal IC’s • Can be addressed with a DOA for Federal IC’s • OGC asked to address the issue for non-Feds • SPAN OF CONTROL FOR ACT’S AND BT’S • There is a group addressing the issue associated with buying teams • Capacity for AC more problematic - capacity

  10. INTERNAL AAR – KEY POINTS - CURRENT STATUS • IMT ALLOWABLE WEIGHT FOR NICC CHARTERED AIRCRAFT • Revision has been developed – expect letter to that effect in the near future • WILDLAND FIRE AGENCIES ORGANIZATION & THE ABILITY TO MEET NRP • SORO has developed a plan to address the issue in PNW GA • Id’ed as an issue in the SE – under development • Nationally – not currently being addressed

  11. INTERNAL AAR – KEY POINTS – CURRENT STATUS • THE NEED FOR A COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS FOR ALL HAZARD ASSIGNMENTS • Under development • AVAIALBILITY & AUTHORITY OF AGENCY LEO’S • Discussions have occurred between USFS/DOI law enforcement on this issue • Commitment to resolve

  12. INTERNAL AAR – KEY POINTS – CURRENT STATUS • THE CONVOLUTED AND COMPLEX ORDERING SYSTEM DOES NOT INSTILL A SENSE OF URGENCY • Multiple ordering systems all based on a tiered approach is cumbersome, lacks a tracking mechanism, and changes from state to state • THE WILDLAND FIRE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO: • Develop an ordering handbook • Instill a sense of urgency for filling orders • Tie GSA to our Buying Teams • Work with DHS to develop a single ordering system

  13. AARs – THE CHALLENGE WHAT CAN YOU DO TO IMPROVE RESPONSE IN THE ALL HAZARD ARENA?
