  1. EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION 6 - MASS CARE & EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE “Your Role at the State Emergency Operations Center” A Self Study Course 1

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

ESF 6 CEMP Annex ESF 6 SOG ESF 6 Position Task Books ESF 6 Job Aids The ESF 6 CEMP Annexdescribes “the framework through which a jurisdiction’s departments and agencies, the private sector, not-for-profit and voluntary organizations, and other NGOs coordinate and execute the common emergency management strategies. 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.
