  10. Top-level Complex Systems

  11. Key features of collapse events • Failure in any system may impact others • Huge number of potential outcomes • Impossible to predict event details • Impossible to predict timing

  12. Changes in Cold War Foundation • Virtually no food in commodity program • Economy mainly service and financial • Infrastructure degraded

  13. Effect on catastrophic planning • No universal plan • We are on our own

  14. Example Guidance “Local communities will have to address the medical and non-medical effects of the pandemic with available resources. This means that it is essential for communities, tribes, States, and regions to have plans in place to support the full spectrum of their needs over the course of weeks or months…”

  15. The Federal Perspective • Continuity of Government/Continuity of Operations mandatory for all federal departments ; • Recommended for state/local governments

  16. Plan Objective Assist citizens of this region safely through a major complex system degradation/failure or a catastrophic event of national significance

  17. General Plan characteristics • Used only for catastrophic events • Response actions in checklist format for timely response in a high-stress environment • Writing style and format is concise

  18. General Plan characteristics • This is a transition plan only, for use between event onset until relative stability is achieved • Plan is unclassified. Sensitive and privacy-related information are intentionally omitted • Plan is adaptable for use by other rural jurisdictions

  19. General Planning Assumptions • Federal directives are expected for implementation • National Guard availability is unknown • No state or federal assistance/resources expected • Government services will be significantly curtailed • Specific local impact and timing is unknown • Local resources will be rapidly depleted • Prepared individuals will be a needed resource

  20. Policies • Local governments may form a regional consortium • Local government will not seize property in people’s homes • Some private sector resources may come under government control

  21. Command and Control • Sheriff and Police Chiefs of their respective jurisdictions have command and control over law enforcement and security activities • Chief Elected Officials of their respective jurisdictions have command and control over all other activities
