Civil Disaster Operations Consequence Management • Mr. Justin DeMello
Terminal Learning Objective • Terminal Learning Objective: TLO 1.0 - Apply the information in the National Incident Management System (NIMS), National Response Framework (NRF), and Strategic Documents for Homeland Defense and DSCA to determine: • Response agencies • The appropriate level of response for local, state, regional and federal agencies • The structures in place to coordinate the efforts of emergency activities • The steps that should be taken to control the impact of the incident • Key authorities that apply • DOD’s role in the mission
Enabling Learning Objectives • ELO 1.6 – Apply knowledge of organizational structures and key leadership roles at the federal, state and local level to identify which ones will support the operation in accordance with the appropriate Framework and Federal Interagency Operational Plan. • ELO 1.6.1 – Describe the roles and functions of Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) used by the Federal Government. • ELO 1.6.2 – Apply essential activities, response actions, and key tasks for responding to a domestic incident IAW the NRF.
Enabling Learning Objectives • ELO 1.6.3 – Determine the appropriate key response partners IAW the NRF. • ELO 1.7 – Describe the State to FEMA Resource Request Process. • ELO 1.7.1 – Describe the FEMA to DoD Capability Request Process • ELO 1.8 – Describe the purpose and content of the Incident Action Plan. • ELO 1.9 – Describe the responsibilities of each major Incident Command System function in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
Main Points • Role of the FCO • Member of the Unified Coordination Group (UCG) in the Joint Field Office (JFO) • Coordinates the Federal response and the support from the Non-Government Organizations (NGO) • Is the designated Disaster Recovery Manager • Has fiduciary responsibility for the event • Works closely with the State Coordinating Officer (SCO) • Size matters…. • FEMA strength: 5,000 FTE , 7,000 Reservists and 1600 FEMA Corps • Not as large as you might have presumed • Unlike DoD, does not deploy as a unit
Main Points • Purpose of response is to stabilize the situation, save lives, and protect property • Provide federal support when situation exceeds state capability • But not wait for failure • Federal responses are a small percentage of declared events • DoD responses are a minute portion of federal responses • Unified Coordination Group (UCG) foot stomper • Establishes shared priorities and objectives for response/recovery • Membership: • Always includes the SCO and FCO • Includes other members as the situation dictates • DCO, SFLEO, DOE, Tribal….
Main Points • Operational Frictions • Declaration/disaster process inherently political • Interaction and motivations of political delegations at all levels • State capabilities and organizations differ • State’s rights, realities, and sensitivities have impact • Beware the federal mastodon • More is not necessarily better • Can alienate the state • JFO authority versus bureaucratic silos
Enabling Learning Objective 1.6.1 Describe the roles and functions of Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) used by the Federal Government.

Operational Perspectives • Emergency management generally works well • Sometimes a “one person shop”/collateral duty • Major focus is obtaining grants ($$$) • Catastrophic events are different • All agencies are maxed out • Federal government will never be quick enough or have enough resources
Operational Perspectives • Federal government was designed for safety, not speed • Local government = seconds and minutes • State government = minutes and hours • Federal government = hours and days • 72-Hour Preparedness Standard • Requires citizen buy-in • Government cannot count on citizen preparedness
Operational Perspectives • Procedures are important…results are more important • Timing and speed are the most important factors • Providing support to state and local governments is why we’re here • DoD is a last resort; yes…but • All must understand DoD protocols with respect to the Action Request Form (ARF)/Mission Assignment Process • Mission Assignment development, tasking, and employing forces
Operational Perspectives • “Coalition of the willing”; not command & control • Disaster operations can be confusing • Don’t do it everyday • High turnover • Additional duty • Impact of the media is significant and vital
Enabling Learning Objective 1.6 Apply knowledge of organizational structures and key leadership roles at the federal, state and local level to identify which ones will support the operation in accordance with the National Response Framework (NRF).
