5. Where is EPFAT? Emergency Power Facility Assessment Toolwebsite is linked through theUSACE Public ENGLink Site http:\\www.englink.usace.army.mil The “EPFAT” icon will then automatically transfer the user to the EPFAT website hosted at CESWF

6. EPFAT - Homepage • Website hosted on “Public” side to allow access • Specific Facility POC User ID and Password required • Once entered user taken to an “https” website • Facility data entry & revisions are complete by designated facility POC user ONLY • Separate “Report Only” user ID/PWs can be issued to: • Local EMs • State EMs • USACE • FEMA • ALL Data Secured by USACE

7. EPFAT - Login Page • Disclaimer about entering facility/POC information • Individual User Name and Password required • Initial temporary User ID/PW will be provided to Facility • Existing ENGLink Power Module Facility assessment data transferred to EPFAT to establish the initial user set • Data accessible by USACEEM’s, 249thEN BN, Power SME’s, and Senior Leaders • Data and Reports shared to other agencies as requested

8. EPFAT - User “How-To” GuideData Collection First Step • This guide can be printed prior to filling in the data on-line by Facility Manager and/or Facility Electrician • Afterwards, this guide can be printed by facility and stored for future reference. • Note: Printable PDF (9 Pages)

9. EPFAT - FAQsAdditional Guidance for User • FAQs will provide additional answers for users for the POC, site facility, geospatial and processes required • New FAQs will regularly be added to reflect responses generated as a result for technical assistance • Two email addresses have been provided to end users to request both technical electrical support and technical EPFAT support

10. EPFAT - Facility DataFacility Categories • 12 Categories are used to classify all types of facilities • Category chosen based upon function of facility during crisis events • Under each Category, selected are then listed facility “Types” • Reports can be created based upon this data

11. EPFAT - Facility Data EntryFacility Information Tab • Six main tabs to navigate data input & assessment • Tabs data entry must be completed in order with some data fields Mandatory • Facility Category and Type are “drop downs” and stored • Assessment should be completed by a qualified professional electrician • Entry date is used to ensure data is validated and/or refreshed on 3-year intervals

12. EPFAT - Facility Data EntryFacility Location Tab • Physical Address Information • Key Data Fields • Lat / Long obtained through web Google map service and/or accurate GPS Unit. • Printing the “How-to” guide will help make data capture and data entry much easier. • Map displays the street address entered. User can zoom, move and/or adjust the “pin” to exact facility site location.

13. EPFAT - Facility Data EntryPrimary Facility POC Tab • Primary POC’s may be regional but local or on-site is preferred • Some data fields are Mandatory • This data will be used to allow contact to the facility during 3-Yr intervals for data updates and data verification • Email, telephone and address information are critical data to scheduling data updates and maintaining data accuracy

14. EPFAT - Facility Data EntryAlternate Facility POC Tab • Alternate POC’s may be regional but local or on-site is preferred. • Some data fields are Mandatory. • This data will be used to allow contact to the facility during 3-Yr intervals for data updates and data verification • Email, telephone and address information are critical data to scheduling data updates and maintaining data accuracy

15. EPFAT - Facility Data EntryGenerator Information Tab • Some data fields are Mandatory • Generator size determined by a “qualified professional”. EPFAT does NOT calculate generator size required (yet?) • Actual Lat/Long geo-location of Generator is stored and “pin” can be moved to exact site location • On-site notes about placement and Generator connection stored • User can upload photographs or other documents (pdf; gif; tiff, etc)

16. EPFAT - Facility Data EntryData Summary Tab • Summary page is one-page overview of all information and data collected entered for Facility and Generator • Each section can be easily returned to and any information entered edited by user • This information and data is used to print various reports and will be used to print a hardcopy of the Facility Assessment Guide for use by facility.

17. EPFAT-User FacilityGraphic Display • User facility information will be added to national level database and used by Local/State/Federal R&R agencies during crisis events • Generator Assessment data will be used to identify/pre-position assets whenever possible and for any generator needed at the facility for any given crisis event • E-mail requests will be sent to facility POCs to verify data and information on 3-Yr frequency

18. Future Uses of the Data Upload facility data for all locations into ENGLink Emergency Power Module (When ENGLink program update replaces existing Power Module). Provide geo-referenced location of facilities and generator locations Plan for pre-event inventory of potential impacted critical public facilities Planning tool for pre-event staging of potential number of facilities with generator requirements and also various generator sizes Improve overall installation response time Improve processes for mobilization / de-mobilization of resources Allow greater flexibility in mission execution Improve overall Federal/State/Local Response & Recovery related to Emergency Power Mission EPFAT -Way Ahead
