EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION 6 - MASS CARE & EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE “Your Role at the State Emergency Operations Center” A Self Study Course 1
Introduction • The storms of 2004 & 2005 emphasized the importance of having a trained cadre of state workers available to assist at the state emergency operations center (EOC). • This self-study course gives you the information you need to perform an important role at the state EOC should you be called. 2
Purpose of the course • Explain the role of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 6 in the state disaster plan. • Outline the procedures ESF 6 uses to perform its interagency coordination function. 3
Purpose of the course (cont) • Give you practical, hands-on experience using the state EOC messaging system. • Explain the job that you will be assigned and the tasks that you must perform should you ever be asked to come to the EOC during a disaster. • Educate you on emergency management terms used in the Incident Command System (ICS). 4
Self-study, self-paced • Experience has taught us that presenting the information to you in the Spring, and then expecting you to remember the instruction 3 or 4 months later during an event, was not effective. • By presenting the information as a self-study course, you can learn at your own pace, and easily review the material throughout the hurricane season. 5
Course Modules • Module 1 – ESF 6 in the State Plan • Module 2 – ESF 6 procedures • Module 3 – Position Task Books • Module 4 – Online tutorial 6
References • Each of the 4 modules is a summary of information from a base document: • Module 1 – the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) • Module 2 – ESF 6 Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG) • Module 3 – ESF 6 Position Task books • Module 4 – EMC New Mission guide • Each of these references will be made available to you. 7

The actions described in the Support Annexes apply to nearly every type of emergency. Each Support Annex identifies a coordinating agency and cooperating agencies. In some instances, two departments or agencies share coordinating agency responsibilities.”Source:CPG 101 “Standard operating procedures or operating manuals are complete reference documents that provide the purpose, authorities, duration, and details for the preferred method for performing a single function or a number of interrelated functions in a uniform manner.” Source: CPG 101 Position Task Books describe and identify all the basic tasks a person holding the position should be able to perform properly.
