  18. Section IIEmergency Disaster Services

  19. Emergency • Emergency: A situation with or without warning, causing or threatening death, injury, or disruption to normal life for numbers of people.

  20. Emergency • Emergency Functions: Includes warning and communications services, relocation of persons, temporary restoration of utilities, welfare, health, search, rescue, fire fighting, and other necessary activities.

  21. Emergency • Anticipated Emergency: Those conditions which because of their nature may require mobilization of emergency forces if conditions increase in severity.

  22. Emergency • Limited Emergency: An event that requires response of emergency forces over and above normal working functions, but which is manageable within the local capability of the Corps or Service Extension Unit.

  23. Emergency • Local Emergency: The existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons or property within the limits of the Corps or service extension area, and which conditions are likely to be out of the control of the services, personnel, equipment of the local facilities and thus requires the combined efforts of the divisional resources.

  24. Emergency • Divisional Emergency/Response: Any natural or technological catastrophe that causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance to supplement the efforts of the local corps in alleviating damage, loss, and hardship.

  25. Emergency • Territorial Emergency/Response: Any natural or technological catastrophe that causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance to supplement the efforts of the local division in alleviating damage, loss, and hardship.

  26. Emergency • NHQ Emergency/Response: Any natural or technological catastrophe that causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance from NHQ resources to supplement the efforts of the Territorial response.

  27. Section IIIEmergency ManagementCycle

  28. Emergency Management Cycle Preparedness u EVENT Emergency Management Mitigation Response u u Cycle Recovery u

  29. Preparedness • Preparedness consists of those things that could be or should be done prior to the actual event, such as Planning, equipping, training, and exercising. • Go bag reviewed and ready to go • Batteries fully charged • Radio checked out and ready to go

  30. Preparedness • Awareness and self-sufficiency programs • Family emergency plans • Training • Salvation Army EDS Training Courses • SATERN • ARRL (ARES) • ECS (RACES) • CERT, ETC

  31. Response • The efforts to minimize the risks created in an emergency by protecting the people, the environment, and property, and the efforts to return the scene to normal pre-emergency conditions. Response activities include: direction and control, warning, evacuation, and other similar operations.

  32. Recovery • The phase that involves restoring the systems to normal. Short-term recovery actions are taken to assess damage and return vital systems to minimum operating standards; long term recovery actions may continue for many years.

  33. Mitigation • Those activities designed to either prevent the occurrence of an emergency or to minimize the potentially adverse effects of an emergency or long-term activities.

  34. Mitigation Activities - Home • Emergency power • Securing the structure against high winds • Shutters on windows • Trimming trees near buildings • Proper drainage

  35. Section IVSalvation ArmyICSIncident Management/Command System

  36. Incident Management/Command System • The principal system used by emergency response agencies for organizing and managing emergency disaster response is the Incident Management (IMS) or Incident Command System (ICS).

  37. IMS/ICS Objectives • Ensures central control of the response. • Ensures the conservation and appropriate utilization of resources. • Limits the amount of detail one individual must handle and enhances the “span of control”.

  38. IMS/ICS Objectives • Provides a common organizational structure that allows easy interface with emergency response agencies. • Offers key management principles in a standardized format.

  39. Policy Group (Not in EOC) Incident Commander Public Information Officer (PIO) Liaison Officer Safety Officer Pastoral Care Officer Operations Section Chief Logistics Sections Chief Finance/ Administration Section Chief Planning Section Chief Incident Command System

  40. ICS • Policy Group: (Not in EOC) • Staff at Salvation Army divisional headquarters directly supervises the Incident Commander. Divisional headquarters staff makes policy decisions, including the overall direction, duration, staffing and financingof the disaster relief operation, not the Incident Commander. • Incident Commander: • The IC is the onsite manager of the disaster relief operation and is responsible for coordinating all emergency services and support operations.

  41. ICS • Public Information Officer: • The PIO is the central point for dissemination of information to the news media and other agencies and organizations. • Liaison Officer: • The Liaison Officer is the Salvation Army’s representative and point-of-contact for other disaster relief groups. • Safety Officer: • The Safety Officer is responsible for addressing issues related to safety and security of the disaster relief operation. • Pastoral Care Officer: • Pastoral Care Officer is responsible for managing spiritual and emotional support services on the disaster operation.

  42. ICS • Operations Section Chief: • The Operations Section Chief is responsible for managing all direct services during a disaster relief operation • Logistics Section Chief: • The Logistics Section Chief is responsible for obtaining and managing all resources and equipment necessary to run the disaster relief operation. SATERN operations fall under Logistics • Finance/Administration Section Chief: • The Finance/Administration Section Chief is responsible for managing many of the “paper-work” details necessary to support a disaster relief operation, i.e. statistics, personnel and volunteer recruitment and accounting.

  43. ICS • Planning Section Chief: • The Planning Section Chief is responsible for assessing community needs in the wake of a disaster and recommending appropriate short and long-term Salvation Army assistance programs to meet those needs.

  44. Command Post • Command Post: A location from which the Incident Commander can gather information, make decisions, and coordinate the response efforts.

  45. EOC • Emergency Operations Center (EOC): A central facility from which key officials can gather information, make decisions, and direct and coordinate response and recovery efforts.

  46. Section VSATERN MessageHandling

  47. S.A.T.E.R.N. Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network Riverside and San Bernardino Counties Section Of the Sierra Del Mar Division MESSAGE HANDLING

  48. Message Handling The three main things to stress in traffic handling are accuracy, accuracy, and accuracy. A message can be worse than useless if it is not accurate. Therefore, the primary object in traffic handling is one hundred percent accuracy; ninety-nine percent won’t do.

  49. “Break and Go” Method SATERN Riverside and San Bernardino Counties Section uses the "Break & Go" Message Handling Procedure; Sender speaks no more than 3 to 5 words, then waits for the receiver to give a "Go" before sending the next 3 to 5 words. This lets the one receiving the message set the pace at a speed he can write down with 100% accuracy.
