  1. Catastrophic Preparedness Incorporating Whole Community Philosophy • We must plan for the real, not the manageable • Plan for the “Maximum of the Maximums” catastrophic event • Look across all levels of society as emergency responders • View public as an asset, not a liability • Private sector and VOADs are key contributors • Focus on essential activities for life saving/sustainment and stabilization withinthe first 72 hours (Golden Hours) E 72 hrs

  2. Addressing Resource Requirements Federal State and Local Deltas Public / Private/VOAD Capabilities Based Planning

  3. Potential Solutions/Courses of Action • New ways of thinking and/or conducting business will need to be explored. Working groups will examine: • New partners • New concepts of operation • Authorities: More effective use of existing authorities or identification of requirements for new ones • Necessary waivers and/or declarations • New authorities required • New or enhanced pre-scripted mission assignments • Pre-incident preparedness programs • Implications for academic, R&D, and other communities • Implications for physical, programmatic and effective communications accessibility

  4. FEMA Use • Enables FEMA to help Disaster Survivors Respond/Recover faster • - Speed of delivery in major catastrophic events • -Helps us to assess areas quickly where ground entry is not practical • Potential for cost savings for future assessments • NOAA Imagery (Navigation Services) • -Rapid Response • -Imagery Publically Available ≤ 24hrs from collection (Whole Community)

  5. Initiatives • Facilitate a National Dialogue • Preparedness and outreach that actively engages “Whole Community” • Private/public/VOADs are integral to success • Recognition that those that are capable will take up space in front of those that are truly not capable • Reshaping planning and preparedness around “Maximum of Maximums” • Planning efforts that truly identifies capabilities at all levels of society

  6. The Meta-Scenario In order to anticipate catastrophic requirements and to avoid narrow focus on a limited number of specific scenarios, the Whole Community methodology is built upon a foundation of a meta-scenario consisting of the maximum of maximum challenges across a range of scenarios • No-notice event • Impact area • ~7 million population • 25,000 square miles • Several states and FEMA regions • 190,000 fatalities in initial hours • 265,000 citizens require emergency medical attention • Severe damage to critical infrastructure and key resources • Severe damage to essential transportation infrastructure • Ingress/egress options limited

  7. Core Capabilities These critical capabilities represent the highest priority essential functions necessary for both saving and sustaining lives, and stabilizing the site and the situation within 72 hours. The first six “enable” a rapid and effective response, while the remainder explicitly address the needs and priorities of the people and communities impacted by the catastrophic event. Enables Response • Situational Assessment • Public Messaging • Command, Control, & Coordination • Critical Communications • Environmental Health & Safety • Critical Transportation Survivor Needs • On-Scene Security and Protection • Mass Search and Rescue Operations • Health and Medical Treatment • Mass Care Services • Public & Private Services & Resources • Stabilize and Repair Essential Infrastructure • Fatality Management Services
