What is expected to be done before our arrival? • All Operations level objectives • IC established • Rescue viable victims and Gross Emergency Decon • Control zones • Confinement of HazMat by ERG suggestions • Brief HazMat team prior to response (to assure needed resources are being addressed.)

  14. Notification SOP Purpose • To provide statewide uniformity for local jurisdictions to request additional resources specifically for assistance in managing hazardous material or WMD incidents.

  15. Notification SOP Rationale • The Ohio Fire Service Emergency Response System (OFSERS) serves as the basis for the notification procedure. When a community is affected by a hazardous material / WMD incident, the incident commander will initially request additional assistance by utilizing any local mutual aid agreements. When the local jurisdiction is no longer able to obtain additional assistance through local mutual aid, they may choose to activate the OFSERS by calling the Central Dispatch Center and requesting additional hazardous material / WMD assistance in the form of a Special Team Response – HazMat.

  16. Notification SOP Procedure • All requests for OFSERS assistance will be processed through the Central Dispatch Center. The contact number for the OFSERS Central Dispatch Center is 1-888-822-4900.

  17. Notification SOP Procedure (cont.) • When Central Dispatch is contacted the following questions will be asked of the caller: • Name of the affected jurisdiction and the name of the fire department responsible for providing service to that community. • Name of the calling agency; name and rank of caller, Call back and Fax numbers. • Incident Commander’s info (name, rank, and department) requesting assistance. • Specific type of emergency if known. (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Transportation, Fixed site.)

  18. Notification SOP Procedure (cont.) • When Central Dispatch is contacted the following questions will be asked of the caller: • Level of HazMat Team needed - if known. • The location of a Staging Area utilizing an easily identifiable area that can be identified on a highway map (gas station map). • The type of response needed: SCRAMBLE (Enroute within 30 minutes and be able to be on site for up to 12 hrs.) or LONG TERM (Enroute within 3 hours and be able to be on site for up to 12 hours. Additional teams may be called if necessary for operational periods that exceed 12 hours. • Identify MARCS radio channels) (Preferred) or local radio frequency, and or cell phone numbers for command and control communications. • Requests for specific equipment should be identified to central dispatch.

  19. Notification SOP Procedure (cont.) • Central Dispatch, after obtaining the requested resources, will notify the call back point that the request has been filled.

  20. Questions • Contact your regional HazMat TAC Coordinator. • Contact your county or regional coordinator for the Ohio Fire Service Emergency Response System.
