  16. Operational Areas/Regions

  17. Oakland Hills 1991

  18. Standardized Emergency Management System(SEMS) • Part of the Emergency Services Act • Developed after the Oakland-East Bay Hills Fire October 20, 1991 • At the time, one of the most destructive fires in CA history • An incident involving Multiple Agencies

  19. Before SEMS • INCOMPATIBLE EQUIPMENT • (fire hoses from different regions not compatible with hook-ups…) • INADEQUATE MOBILIZATION OF RESOURCES • (getting needed supplies from point A to point B) • INADEQUATE COMMUNICATION • (who does what…where? Speaking in code/slang) • INADEQUATE COMMAND STRUCTURE • (too many commanders with different agendas…)

  20. SEMS-The Solution • SENATE BILL 1841, pushed by Senator Petris, was passed by the Legislature and made effective 1/1/93. • Section 8607 of the California Government Code • To Improve the Coordination of State and Local Emergency Response in California • SEMS was created • State agencies are required to use SEMS • Local agencies must use SEMS to be eligible for state reimbursement of response-related personnel costs resulting from disaster.

  21. National Incident Management System (NIMS)2003 Management of domestic incidents • Directed the Department of Homeland Security to develop and administer NIMS • A consistent nationwide template • Federal, state, local and tribal governments • Private sector • Nongovernmental organizations • Applicable across “all hazards” of all size and complexity • Improve coordination and cooperation

  22. NIMS • Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-5 ) • Requires all Federal departments and agencies to adopt NIMS • State and local organizations must adopt NIMS as a condition of Federal preparedness assistance (FY 2005)

  23. The Basics of SEMS 4 components 5 functions 5 organizational levels

  24. SEMS used during Firestorm 2007

  25. Four Components • INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM(ICS) (nationally recognized…designed to give order) • OPERATIONAL AREA CONCEPT(relay information to EOC) • MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS(voluntary aid and assistance) • MULTI-AGENCY COORDINATION SYSTEM(MACS) (sharing resources)

  26. Five Functions

  27. Five Organizational Levels • Field -On-scene responders • Local -County, city or special district or subdivisions of any of these. • Operational Area -Manages and coordinates all local government within geographic boundary of a county. • Regional -Manages and coordinates information and resources among operational areas. • State -Statewide resource coordination integrated with federal agencies.

  28. Why do we care? • Disasters are unpredictable and can happen at anytime. • First victims could present in a clinic, private practice, or other outpatient setting. • In a bioterrorism emergency, physicians and nurses are “first responders.” • The disaster could occur near you and may involve your clinic and staff. • Due to the potential numbers affected, clinics and private practices may be needed to augment the county-wide response.

  29. Summary Talk about some of the risk of natural disaster, local terrorist event, or public health emergencies. Given you an overview of the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and how it was used during the October 2007 Southern California fires.
