All-Hazards Preparedness - RAIN
•RAIN▫Recognize the hazard/threat
(What do I see, hear, or smell?)▫Avoid the hazard/contamination/injury
(What do I stay away from?)▫Isolate the hazard area
(Whom do I protect?)▫Notify the appropriate support
(Whom do I call?)

September 11, 2001 Attacks
The September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States of America carried out on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Commercial airlines were used to crash into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Approximately 3,000 people died in these attacks.

September 11, 2001 Attacks
The Pentagon was severely damaged during the attack, and 125 lives were lost. Buildings surrounding the
World Trade Center were heavily damaged by the debris and massive force of the falling twin towers.

Suicide AttacksA suicide attack is an attack in which the attacker or attackers intend and expect to die. Such attacks are often carried out with the help of vehicles or explosive materials such as a bomb (a suicide bombing), or both (i.e. a vehicle loaded with explosives). If everything goes to plan, the attacker is killed upon impact or detonation. Chechen suicide bombing at
Rizhskaya station of the Moscow Metro on August 30, 2004 (above).

London Subway Bombings
The 7 July 2005 London bombings were a series of coordinated suicide bombings that struck London's public transport system during the morning rush hour. Fifty-six people were killed in the attacks, including the four bombers, and about 700 injured.
A bomb damaged a subway train between Liverpool Street and Aldgate stations in London on July 7. Bombs also went off on two other subway trains and a bus. Police said the death toll was more than 50 from London's terrorist bombings.

Bioterrorism
Bioterrorism involves the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, or toxins.
Agents used are typically found in nature in order to cause illness or death.

US policy on terrorismThe old threat level awareness system with the five color-coded bars representing escalating threat levels has been replaced.
The new system has only two levels:Imminent – for credible, specific and impending threatsElevated – for credible threats (with a Sunset Provision to expire if no new information becomes available)
Do you think this new system is better?

RecoveryThis is a long and gradual process.
Mental issues become very important during this part of the disaster cycle (after the initial shock is over and the realization that “normalcy” is a long way off).
This is the most costly portion of the cycle“an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Local Emergency Management
• Warn citizens to take whatever action to minimize risk to family and to property
• Evacuate if necessary
• Initiate an emergency operations plan that spells out the specific local duties
![Page 54: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Major Disaster DeclarationProcess follows specific steps
• Local government responds and must be overwhelmed
• State responds with state resources and must be overwhelmed

Summary• The disaster cycle is an open-ended process,
cycling back after an event or incident.
• Effective planning is critical for more positive outcomes after a disaster.
• Disasters always start with the local government.
• The first 72 hours after a disaster are the most critical and focus on stabilization.

Overview of the National Incident Management System (NIMS)
![Page 59: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Disasters are highly complex and often share a common set of problems and challenges that can be addressed during planning.
Understanding how the system responds is an important first step for anyone who might assist in a disaster.

The Incident Command System
![Page 62: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
What is Incident Command Structure?
•What it IS… Organizational core of a
crisis management system
•What it is NOT…A complete, ready-to-
go, “disaster plan”
Early planning for transition to consequence management
Universal link with outside resources
Management system designed to integrate
resources from numerousorganizations into a single
response structure using common terminology
and processes
![Page 63: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Unified Command(Fire, Police, EMS, Public Works)
Operations Planning Logistics Finance/Administration
Unified Command
More than one responding agency within the incident jurisdiction (e.g. police & fire)
Incident crosses political jurisdictions (e.g. county or state lines)The multiple agencies work together to establish a common set of
objectives, strategies, and actions into a single incident action plan
![Page 64: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Summary
• NIMS integrates emergency preparedness and response into a comprehensive framework for incident management
• It includes a unified approach to managing complex incidents often involving multiple response agencies and jurisdictions, incorporating standard command and management structures
![Page 68: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
National Response Framework (NRF)
The NRF is built on the following five principles:
1. Engaged partnerships2. Tiered response 3. Scalable, flexible and adaptable operational capabilities 4. Unity of effort through unified command5. Readiness to act

Florida Emergency Management• The State Emergency Operations Center is
activated when a disaster or potential disaster is first detected.
• Florida’s response is then initiated through the State Emergency Response Team (SERT)
• The SERT is comprised of Governor-appointed Emergency Coordination Officers.
• Florida Emergency Management websites by county: http://www.floridadisaster.org/fl_county_em.asp

Emergency Support Functions (ESFs)
FEMA designated 15 FSAs within the National Response Framework. There is some variation at the state level
with the naming & inclusion of additional ESFs. For example,
the Federal ESF 11: Agricultural and Natural
Resources is divided into ESF 11: Food and Water and ESF 17: Animal and Agricultural Issues within Florida’s FSA
structure.
The ESFs consolidate multiple agencies that perform similar or like functions into a single,
cohesive unit.
![Page 72: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Role of Florida Division of Emergency Management
•Manages overall response and recovery efforts by integrating resources statewide.
•State’s liaison with federal and local agencies on emergencies of all kinds.
•Conducts damage assessment surveys and advises Governor.
•Maintains Emergency Operations Center
![Page 73: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
State Emergency ManagementState emergency legislation
allows the governor to declare a
“State of Emergency”
State emergency managers then step in
and assist in the coordination and
activation of resources for recovery efforts.
![Page 74: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

Summary
• The federal government establishes the framework that is followed by states, regions and communities.
• A successful response requires the interaction of personnel and resources from multiple agencies.
• The funding tends to be from the top down, whereas the response tends to be from the bottom up.

Persons with DisabilitiesThe American with Disabilities Act
(ADA) defines an individual with a disability as “a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record or such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.”
![Page 108: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Why are Individuals with Disabilities Vulnerable?
Five main sub-populations
• Cognitive Impairments• Mental Illness
(including Substance Abuse)
• Developmental Delays• Physical Disabilities• Sensory Impairments
Vulnerabilities• May require a
caregiver and/or other designated person to assist, provide oversight, & make decisions
• May not be able to advocate for themselves (e.g., to make or follow an emergency plan)
• May have special transportation needs
• May have special medical needs
![Page 109: Terrorism and All-hazards Preparedness and Response: Basic Awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814532550346895db1fb48/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Basic Responses: Persons with Disabilities• Identify a caregiver for optimal functioning
and outcomes•Coordinate appropriate transportation and
accommodation• Identify special needs shelters that have
proper supervision and resources•Work with healthcare providers to create an emergency plan
