  23. OUR MISSIONTo Plan, Coordinate, Execute and Manage a comprehensive logistics operation within the state to support disaster preparation, response and recovery. OUR CUSTOMER The County EMA Director

  24. THE LOGISTICS RESPONSE • Currently, the State does not stockpile emergency meals, bottled water, ice, tarps or other initial response resources (IRR). • During Normal Operations - Logistical response is limited to those tasks that are the normal responsibility and activity of a state agency. • Governor’s State of Emergency - defines the use of state personnel, equipment, material and funds for the response. It may also impose constraints. • Federal Declaration - will normally determine if the state can rent, lease, purchase or contract for emergency services or supplies or ask FEMA or other federal agencies for assistance.

  25. The County EMA Director identifies a need that can not be filled by county asset, county purchasing or leasing action, established mutual aid agreement or other local means. RESOURCE REQUEST PROCESS • The Director or his/her representative contacts the GEMA SOC by calling 1-800-TRY-GEMA (876-4362) HOW THE PROCESS WORKS • The request is forwarded to the appropriate ESF where depending on the current level of declaration will make every attempt to fill the request. ESF should notify you of status – filled or unfilled.

  26. THE BIG FIVE

  27. THE LOGISTICAL PIPELINE • The anticipated response time in the logistical system is 25% delivery on day one, 50% for day two and 100% by day three. • It takes 72 hours to load the logistical pipeline. • PODS will serve as the distribution point during a disaster. • Counties plan and run PODs to include staffing and equipping. • One POD lane should accommodate 5,000 people daily. • POD locations should be on record with GEMA Logistics. • GEMA delivers to the desired location specified by the county.

  28. THINK TRUCKLOADS • A 53’ foot trailer of water or ice will supply 5,000 people per day. • A 53’ foot trailer of meals will supply 5,000 people for two days. • PODs will be re-supplied at night. • All trailers have to be unloaded upon arrival at the POD. • Refrigerated trailers are not provided. • Pallet of Ice melt factor @ 90 degrees = 2 days.

  29. TEMPORARY EMERGENCY POWER – WHAT TO EXPECT • Generators will go to critical facilities assisting in saving lives, prevent human suffering and house the workplace of first responders. • The county must assess all power outages and prioritize a single county request. Facility must be capable of receiving power, not damaged by the disaster. • 12-24 hour planning time should be expected from request to receipt of generator if pre-planned. • Why pre-plan? Federal generator packages are normally pre-set for sizes, currently 15KW to 800 KW. Packages will only be tailored if different requirements are known.

  30. IS YOUR COUNTY READY? • The Best: Have pre-event installed and maintained generators for all critical facilities. • Better: Complete a facility assessment done by a reliable source identifying the power requirements for the facility and forward the assessment to GEMA for inclusion in the state database which is transmitted to USACE.

  31. OR • Minimum Acceptable Level. Have critical facilities in the GEMA state database with no specific electrical information provided.
