  1. CHEMPACK: PROJECT SNAPSHOT April 19, 2007

  2. CDC’s CHEMPACK Project Mission • Implement a nationwide project for the forward placement of nerve agent antidotes to reduce treatment time. • Provide state and local governments with a sustainable resource that increases their capacity to respond quickly to a nerve agent event.

  3. Florida’s 2007-2010 Preparedness Goals Vision: Florida’s health and medical system is prepared with coordinated capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from hazards and events which impact the public’s health. Strategies: Chempack is one of many tools which can be used to address several target capabilities: Responder Safety, Medical Supplies Management and Distribution, and Mass Prophylaxis & SNS Annex

  4. Chempack Storage Container (60.5”x 32.5”x 60.5”) What is a Chempack Cache? SENSAPHONE Environmental Monitor

  5. Chempack Contents Mark I Nerve Agent Antidote Kit (NAAK) Pediatric Atropens Diazepam (CANA) Autoinjector Atropine, Pralidoxime, and Diazepam in Multi-dosage Vials

  6. Standard CHEMPACK Container Types • Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Container: • Mostly auto-injectors (single dose) • Some multi-dose vials for variable dosing with elderly or pediatric patients • Treatment capacity is 454 patients • Hospital Container: • Mostly multi-dose vials for variable dosing & prolonged treatment • Some auto-injectors if no IV access can be established or for rapid use • Treatment capacity is 1,000 patients

  7. Three Storage Concepts • Hospital setting: Chempack is stored in a hospital. If an incident occurs, people are either transported or self-transport to that hospital where they are treated. • EMS/Fire Rescue Setting: Chempack is stored in a "rapid deployment" type site and can be rushed to the incident scene to treat casualties. Chempack can also be transported pre-event and staged in case of an emergency. • Hybrid Setting: Chempack is stored in one of the above two locations, but the container contents are pre-labeled, divided, and distributed to multiple locations via pre-determined transport methods, which could include treatment hospitals, as well as the incident scene.

  8. Which Container is Right for Me? Hospital vs. EMS Facilities should choose the cache type based on several factors: • Facility location relative to population density • Target potential (NFL stadiums, business centers, etc.) • Transportation capabilities (road access and vehicle availability) • Jurisdictional considerations

  9. Cache Location and Security Requirements • Accessibility • Space** • Mobility • Temperature/Environmental Requirement • Electrical Power • Analog Phone Line** • Security and Alarm Response** • Fire Suppression** • Sensaphone Alert Response • 24-hour Contact Personnel (designated contact) **CDC has established minimum requirements which provide more flexibility to sites for facilitating a Chempack cache.

  10. Chempack: Where Florida Stands • Florida has been allocated 108 Chempacks. • We have found potential placement facilities for approximately 69 caches as of April 2007. • Final site selections will be completed June 2007.

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC ChempackTimeline 2007Last Updated: March 15, 2007 • All outstanding MOAs signed by both parties. • Final site selections completed • Finalized ChemPack Annex • Milestone update to co-chairs at PHP meeting Draft ChemPack annex to EOP disseminated widely for review Facility build-out Preliminary FL assessment of proposed ChemPack storage sites begins Presentation to co-chairs regarding status and forward progress of Chempack program. Application for 07-08 funding Preliminary FL assessment of proposed ChemPack storage sites ends Initial CDC/FL site survey with facility engineer, facility POC, & DOH POC July 9-27. CDC Funding for 07-08 disbursed Status update to co-chairs at PHP meeting Assets released – fielding & final site inspection with CDC (2 teams), site POC and DEA registrants. (Tentative – depends on build-out progress and CDC fielding team availability – process may extend into early 2008.

  13. Next Steps • NOW: Active site recruitment - 38 Chempack caches remain available for placement. • JUNE 2007: Complete site selection. • JULY 2007: CDC assessment of potential facilities. • SEPT – DEC 2007: Build-out/facility modifications • OCT 2007 – FEB 2008: CDC delivery of assets!
