Focus area DescriptionsFocus Area DescriptionsHealthcare Systems:Healthcare organizations are critical to a community’s responseto disasters and major emergencies. Those organizations,when aligned as healthcare coalitions, have the potential ofeffectively integrating with multiple local, state, tribal, andFederal agencies, creating a powerful, unified system of careand services.<strong>The</strong> Healthcare Systems focus area seeks to provideinformation, techniques, tools, and networking opportunitiesessential to the continuing development of both individualhealthcare organizations and emerging healthcare coalitions.Proposed participants will include hospitals, communityhealth centers, air and ground EMS providers, skilled nursingand other long-term care organizations, physician medicaloffices, state, tribal, and jurisdictional health departments,dialysis and other outpatient service providers, and theirpartner agencies.Leadership:Building community, state, and national resilience requiresstrong leaders to develop preparedness plans and provideguidance to volunteers and other response groups. Leaders inall phases of the disaster life-cycle can benefit <strong>from</strong> developingand improving the process of motivating others to accomplishboth strategic planning and tactical response objectives. <strong>The</strong>success of leadership is measured by those willing to follow.It is never too late to discover the leader in you!Planning & Development: Sessions in this area will highlightprinciples of strategic leadership such as setting goals,developing teams, creating and executing plans, andevaluating outcomes.Tactical: Sessions in this area will focus on the tactical leadershipof “boots on the ground,” including team dynamics, effectiveleadership communication, and ensuring responder wellbeing.6<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit


Focus area DescriptionsFocus Area DescriptionsPublic Health:<strong>The</strong> broad scope and complicated nature of health threatsafter hazards require an interdisciplinary approach to publichealth. A foundation of “prevention versus reaction” in publichealth methods will increase overall community resilience.Public health response has been ever more prevalent in theaftermath of hazards. From the responder health issues after9/11 and the long-term recovery <strong>from</strong> the gulf oil spill tothe fungal skin infections in Joplin, Missouri, public healthresponse continues long after public interest has waned.Over the course of the <strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit, thepublic health sessions will be built on the foundation of adisaster risk reduction (DRR) framework. Governments andorganizations across the globe, such as the United Nations,utilize this model to reduce the risk of hazards. <strong>The</strong> publichealth sessions will leverage presenters’ experiences and riskreducinglessons through the components of emergencymanagement. Presenters will focus on each phase andincorporate training approaches and materials that enhancethe learning experience.Professionals <strong>from</strong> all disciplines and fields will find the publichealth sessions to be relevant to aspects of their work in local,state, regional, tribal, Federal, and international health-relatedarenas. Each session will generate ideas and take-homelessons for communities of all sizes.Resource Management andPatient Movement:<strong>The</strong> sessions in this focus area will emphasize the importanceof coordination and collaboration among local, state, tribal,territorial, and Federal partners for preparedness, response,and lessons identified. Each session will feature expert facultywho will explain their experiences and facilitate interactionswith the audience in order to provide participants with anunderstanding of planning factors and special considerations,such as crisis standards of care and ethical considerations,across the spectrum of ESF#8 requirements when incident sizeor significance involves all ESF#8 partners at multiple levels.Lessons learned and toolbox development will be explored.Resources: Sessions on this focus area subtopic willassist participants to better understand the challenges ofpreparedness, response, and lessons identified as well asemergency management and ethical considerations whenresources are constrained or unavailable during disasters.Resources include people, equipment, supplies, and IT/communications systems.Patient Movement: Sessions on this focus area subtopic willassist participants with identifying the types of resourcesavailable within each level of response (local/state/tribal/Federal), demonstrating the relationship and effectiveintegration of various ESF#8 response partners to meetresponse requirements, describing the ESF#8 patient andevacuee movement processes and associated challenges,identifying unique characteristics of caring for or movingat-risk and vulnerable populations, identifying challenges topatient and evacuee tracking and information sharing, andunderstanding the processes used to obtain, deploy, andsustain resources.<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 7


Focus area DescriptionsFocus Area DescriptionsResponse Integration andOperational Medicine:Disasters can have catastrophic impacts and significantimplications for population health and medical systems.<strong>The</strong> U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),in collaboration with its planning partners, mobilizes a widerange of response systems to augment local, state, and tribalresources as they strive to serve populations impacted bydisaster. This focus area emphasizes the integration of variousdiverse entities to achieve positive outcomes and address theunique challenges of operational medicine.Response Integration focuses on vertical and horizontalintegration and collaboration of multidisciplinary teams amonglocal, state, tribal, and national governments. Participants willbe provided with a broad overview of response operations,including complex public health, human and veterinarymedical, and mass fatality operations. Individual sessions willprovide timely examples of how these practices are developedand how they have evolved.All sessions will focus on and define mechanisms for buildingoperational partnerships, coupled with cultural competencies,necessary to forge sustainable relationships among operationalpublic health and medical responding agencies and systems.Operational Medicine is defined as the provision of multidisciplinaryhealthcare in resource-challenged environmentswith unique and hazardous conditions. Practicing “goodmedicine in poor conditions” is a major emphasis of thisfocus area since recent events and worldwide attentionhave identified the critical need to have and maintain viableresponse capabilities in austere environments. Sessions in theOperational Medicine focus area range <strong>from</strong> fundamentals ofoperating in austere environments to recommendations andtools for development and implementation of operationalmedicine concepts.Focus Area Descriptions Color Key:Agenda At A Glance is color coded by focus area for your reference.See below for the color assigned to each focus area and refer to pages 13-17 for session information.Healthcare SystemsLeadershipPublic HealthResource Management and Patient MovementResponse Integration and Operational Medicine8<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

Also included is information on the healthcare professional’s rolein the public health and incident management systems, community mentalhealth, and special needs of underserved and vulnerable populations.<strong>The</strong> recognition and management of the disaster scene and victims arereinforced through a unique approach, introduced in the Core Disaster LifeSupport course, called the DISASTER paradigm. <strong>The</strong> DISASTER paradigmorganizes the students’ preparation and response to disaster management. Itemphasizes an all-hazards approach to mass casualty incident managementand facilitates ongoing qualitative and quantitative assessment of anincident.D – DetectI – Incident CommandS – Scene Security and SafetyA – Assess hazardsS – SupportT – Triage and TreatmentE – EvacuationR – <strong>Recovery</strong><strong>The</strong> mass casualty triage system used in BDLS® and the other NationalDisaster Life Support NDLS courses employs the SALT methodology. ID-me!is a simple mnemonic for sorting patients during triage after a mass casualtyincident (MCI). Detailed discussion and application of these assessmenttools are reinforced throughout the BDLS® and ADLS® courses.S – SortA – AssessL – LifesavingT – Treatment/Transport/TriageI– ImmediateD – DelayedM – MinimalE – ExpectantLearning Objectives:u Identify the critical need to establish healthcare preparedness fordisasters.u Define “all-hazards” and list the possibilities; define “disaster” and“mass casualty incident (MCI).”u Identify the components of the DISASTER paradigm; identify and applythe BDLS triage model using SALT and ID-me!; describe the differencesbetween Basic Disaster Life Support and Advanced Disaster LifeSupport.Intended Audience: EMT/paramedics, nurses, physiciansWorkshop B: Certified Healthcare EmergencyProfessional Credential Prep Course – EXAM OnlyPresenters: Jerry T.

Monday, May 21, <strong>2012</strong>Workshop DescriptionsMonday, MAy 21, <strong>2012</strong>Workshop C: Advanced Disaster Life Support (ADLS)Presenters: Lindsey Anthony, MPA, CEM, EMHP; Philip Coule, MD,FACEP; Archie Hirschmann, AS; Jack Horner, BS; Thomas Lehman;John Ryan; Italo Subbaro, DO, MBA; Ray Swienton, MD, FACEP;Trina von Waldner, PharmDTime: 0800-1700 hrs (16-hour workshop, continued Tuesday, May 22,0800-1700 hrs)Room: Governor’s AEADLS ® is an advanced practicum course for the trained BDLS ® provider.It is an intensive, two-day course that allows students to demonstratecompetencies in casualty decontamination, specified essential skills, andmass casualty incident information systems and technology applications.Using simulated, all-hazards scenarios and mass casualty incidents, ADLS ®makes use of four interactive sessions in which participants treat simulatedpatients in various disaster drills and situations. Training is focused on thedevelopment of hands-on skills to allow participants to apply the knowledgelearned in BDLS ® .ADLS ® ’s interactive scenarios and drills utilize high-fidelity mannequins andvolunteer patients to simulate a realistic experience in treating pathologicpatient conditions not routinely encountered by responders and healthcareproviders. Hands-on exercises teach practical skills, such as decontaminationand use of protective equipment, and provide instruction in topics thattraditionally are not addressed in healthcare education curricula.Day 2 of ADLS ® is the hands-on day of training. Four skills stations reinforcethe previous day’s learning. <strong>The</strong>se skills stations are as follows:MASS Triage. This challenging station allows students to practice theconcepts of the disaster paradigm with an emphasis on patient triage.Simulated disaster victims must be triaged and treated correctly whilestudents attempt to manage a chaotic scene and request appropriateresources.Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Decontamination. Thisstation teaches important concepts about the use of personal protectiveequipment (PPE) and decontamination technique. Students are given theopportunity to wear PPE and participate in a simulated decontaminationwhile attempting to render medical care.Disaster Skills. This station teaches information about vital skillsnecessary for medical disaster management. Students are taught aboutthe Strategic National Stockpile and proper Mark-I kit use. Students alsopractice smallpox immunization.Human Patient Simulator. Recognition of victims of a chemical andbiological disaster is paramount. This station is designed to reinforcethe detection and proper treatment of conditions that may occur duringdisasters that participants do not normally treat. Treatment of chemical,biological, and traumatic patients is covered. <strong>The</strong> use of high-fidelityhuman patient simulators allows the student to see, hear, and feelinformation that would normally be provided by an instructor, creating amore realistic experience than standard mannequins can provide.Learning Objectives:u Apply the BDLS DISASTER paradigm to respond to various disasterscenarios and treat simulated patients using high-fidelity mannequins.u Apply the BLDS triage model utilizing M.A.S.S. and ID-me!;demonstrate decontamination techniques for disaster scenarios withcontaminated casualties and the correct use of personal protectiveequipment (PPE) for various hazardous scenarios.u Practice the use of autoinjectors for the treatment of chemicalcasualties; practice smallpox immunization with bifurcated needles;obtain information about the Strategic National Stockpile at a DisasterSkills station.Intended Audience: EMT/paramedics, nurses, physiciansWorkshop D: Navigation Skills for Disaster ResponsePresenter: Ben Ho, MDTime: 0800-1200 hrsRoom: Bayou EAll response team members deploying to disasters need to understand thefundamentals of land navigation as well as the newly mandated U.S. NationalGrid System. Whether DMAT, DMORT, NVRT, or USAR, personnel shouldalways know where they are, how to return, how to direct others, and howto identify the location of victims, medical facilities, landing zones, and otherkey landmarks. This concentrated workshop will teach the basics of typicalnavigation skills and tools, map and compass, and new devices and aids.Using actual case histories <strong>from</strong> previous disaster deployments, the coursewill also cover signage, route finding, pattern recognition, and map data,as well as the practical application of these concepts in the altered disasterenvironment. <strong>The</strong> workshop will additionally review the fundamentals ofthe U.S. National Grid System (USNGS). Due to the limitations of class size,indoor conference facilities, and equipment variability and availability, fieldtraining will not be possible.

This may include promoting the safety of patients,visitors, and staff as well as preventing the disruption of patient care servicesand minimizing resulting damage to the facility. This workshop will providepractical steps and tools for using a hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA) totarget and measure risk reduction through specific quality improvementindicators. Participants will simulate a multidisciplinary hospital safetycommittee. Based on information provided regarding a midsize general acutecare hospital, members will walk through the steps necessary to completean HVA, including interpretation of the results and inclusion of regional andcommunity assessments. Once the HVA is completed, the committee willbe provided with a selection of quality improvement opportunities, such asenhancements to the emergency operations plan, response and functionalannexes, incident management team selection, and general emergencymanagement training. <strong>The</strong> participants will apply the completed HVA tothe development of the annual mitigation, preparedness, and instructionalactivities along with exercise conduct to assess the activities. In addition, thecommittee will prepare an exercise program outline including developingspecific objectives for a functional exercise about a scenario involving asurge of patients entering the facility. At the conclusion of this workshop, thecommittee will host a brief exercise after action review and describe whatis to be included in the improvement plan and ultimately how to reevaluatethe HVA to demonstrate organizational risk reduction. Practical exampleswill be used throughout this session that will be available to participants foradoption or modification in their own facilities.Learning Objectives:u Explain how the hospital HVA is the cornerstone of building acomprehensive emergency management program (EMP).u Identify specific components and steps for incorporating the HVA intothe EMP.u Discuss how to evaluate organization risk reduction through theseactivities.Intended Audience: Emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics,environmental health personnel, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, industrial hygienists, medical administrators, nurses, physicians,respiratory therapistsWorkshop F: Certified Healthcare EmergencyProfessional (CHEP)Presenters: Jerry Anderson, MS, FAACP, FAAMA, CHEP;Paul Richter, MA, FASHE, CHEP, CHSPTime: 0800-1700 hrs (16-hour workshop,continued Tuesday, May 22, 0800-1700 hrs)Room: Bayou A<strong>The</strong> Certified Healthcare Emergency Professional (CHEP) credential wascreated especially for healthcare emergency executives, managers,coordinators, and associates.

Tuesday, May 22, <strong>2012</strong>Workshop DescriptionsWorkshop S: Advanced Airway Management inAustere ConditionsPresenters: Leon Dent, MD, MS; Howard Klausner, MD, BSE IOE, FACEP;Marc S. Rosenthal, PhD, DO, FACEPTime: 0800-1200 hrsRoom: Canal BMost patients presenting to an emergency department or a DMAT medicalstation do not require advanced or even simple airway managementtechniques. However, a significant number of patients could require airwayintervention, and for about 5 percent of these patients, based on emergencydepartment experience, advanced airway techniques will be needed tosecure an airway. Unfortunately, while most emergency physicians haveexperience in advanced airway intervention, most family practioners,internists, and others do not have this experience. Should a presentingpatient require advanced airway intervention that cannot be provided, thepatient will most likely die. This end point can potentially be preventedby training DMAT physicians in advanced airway techniques and havingthem practice these techniques in a safe environment. <strong>The</strong> objective of thisworkshop is to provide advanced methods to establish an airway in thedifficult patient. <strong>The</strong> course will cover most advanced airway options, even ifDMATs do not provide the equipment. This approach will further develop theprovider’s skills and improve their ability to establish an airway when theyhave limited resources. In addition, the participants will develop a betterknowledge base on airway anatomy, medications used for intubation, thevariety of approaches that can be used, and simple steps to determine if thepatient will have a difficult airway. With the pathophysiology presented andthe clinical skills taught, participants should improve their ability to establishan airway in a difficult patient with equipment at hand. <strong>The</strong> participantswill develop improved skills for obtaining and securing airways usingadvanced intubation and airway management techniques. <strong>The</strong> participantswill practice these skills during the workshop. Participants will developfurther understanding of difficult airway issues and develop better methodsto determine if a patient will require advanced airway techniques prior toestablishing a secure airway. Finally, the participants will be encouraged tothink outside the box to develop other techniques to establish an airway aswell as to maintain adequate oxygenation and ventilation in patients underaustere conditions.Learning Objectives:u Improve your skill set for emergency airway management.u Develop a better understanding of difficult airways and be able toanticipate a difficult airway.u Develop a better understanding of airway anatomy and currentequipment available to establish an airway.Intended Audience: Emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healtheducation specialists, nurses, physicians, respiratory therapistsWorkshop T: Using HSEEP Tools to Develop EffectiveHospital ExercisesPresenter: Mary Massey, BSN, MATime: 0800-1200 hrsRoom: Bayou BSee page 23 for workshop description and objectivesIntended Audience: Emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics,environmental health personnel, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, industrial hygienists, medical administrators, nurses,pharmacists, physicians, respiratory therapistsWorkshop U: Psychological First Aid (PFA)Presenters: Merritt Schreiber, PhD; Sandra Stark Shields, LMFT,ATR-BC,CTSTime: 0800-1200 hrsRoom: Bayou CThis workshop will present the American Red Cross workshop PsychologicalFirst Aid: Helping Others in Times of Stress.

Today’spandemic threats of global terrorism, disease, and natural disastersmake the development of best practices a necessity for a first respondingworkforce that is adequately prepared to respond to any disaster or publichealth emergency. Many of the lessons learned in response to previousnatural and man-made disasters have magnified the deficiencies in trainingof the medical community. Generally, providers practice under controlledsituations with a plethora of resources at their disposal. This situation isnot possible in a disaster setting, where providers must be able to performunder stressful and often suboptimal conditions. However, the firstresponders possess unique skill sets that allow them to be highly effectivein disaster response, including a diverse knowledge base, assessment skills,and a strong commitment to public welfare. <strong>The</strong> first responder may beinvolved in several roles during a disaster. For example, a responder mayfunction as a triage practitioner. This challenging role requires that multiplevictims be assessed and prioritized quickly to ensure that resources are usedappropriately. In remote areas, treatment of patients may be as brief asstabilization and evacuation to more definitive medical care. For providersnot currently working in the patient care setting, the following items will beincluded in the training as well: vital signs (manual); general assessment;immunization and injections; IV access (different types of catheters); bloodglucose monitoring; airway management; nasal trumpet; non-rebreathers;O2 concentrators and tanks; nebulizers. While this training may not beincorporated into the day-to-day practice setting of most providers, it is ofparamount importance in enabling them to work safely and efficiently toprovide quality medical care in an austere environment.Learning Objectives:u Demonstrate patient history and physical exam and proper assessmentskills in taking vital signs.u Demonstrate the proper technique for basic airway management.u Demonstrate assessment skills used in the disaster setting, properadministration of oxygen, and the use of different basic deliverydevices.u Demonstrate proper splinting and stabilization techniques.u Demonstrate the proper steps in using a glucose monitor in a disastersetting; establish IV access and assess the patency of a pre-existing IV site.Intended Audience: EMT/paramedics, nurses, physicians, respiratorytherapists28<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

In the new nation’s largest city, Philadelphia, this epidemic hadmany effects that have attracted the attention of historians, and one ofthe most far-reaching was the argument, eventually successful, made byBenjamin Rush that members of a profession had a responsibility to thelarger community, not just their paying customers. In the centuries thatfollowed, in epidemic and disaster, the health and safety professionshave discovered many individual and important tools and techniques tomanage disasters, some of which will be highlighted. However, the costsof preparedness are real and immediate, as Ibsen noted in An Enemy ofthe People: “the majority never have right on their side.” As a result, mostpreparedness is achieved after the fact of a disaster for which the communitywas inadequately prepared. As the flu threat and immunization campaign of1976 demonstrated, preparedness without disaster can lead to significantpublic criticism. Perhaps most importantly, as many new environmentalthreats emerged and independent professional traditions evolved in thetwentieth century, it became clear that interprofessional education andcooperation would be crucial to future progress in the management of andrecovery <strong>from</strong> disasters and public health emergencies.Learning Objectives:u Outline the development of the professional obligation to thecommunity.u Provide three examples of learning preparedness <strong>from</strong> disasters.u Recognize and outline the importance of different skill sets andprofessions in response to late twentieth-century domestic disasters.Session 03: Integrating Resilience intoDisaster Medical CarePresenters: LCDR Meghan Corso, PsyD; CAPT David Morrissette, PhD,LCSWTime: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Bayou CDFocus Area: Healthcare Systems<strong>The</strong> panel will present a model of disaster medical care that integratesbehavioral health into overall physical and emotional health and buildsresilience among survivors of disasters. This model drastically changes theoften stigmatizing approach of traditional mental health and its applicationto a disaster response. Specifically, this model focuses on a whole-personwellness approach to behavioral health care delivery in a disaster response.Survivors are solicited for common physical, emotional, or behavioralconcerns and briefly treated in conjunction with the medical care services.<strong>The</strong> goal is to augment the medical services being delivered as well as providebehavioral health care that is less stigmatized and addresses the needs ofthe whole person including adjustment to the disaster, grief, mental illness,or substance abuse. Lastly, this model will assist the survivors in buildingresilience through education and encouragement of healthy behaviors. <strong>The</strong>panel will present an urgent care scenario in which a behavioral healthteam deployed a Wellness Center to augment medical care. Using selfreferral and physician referral forms citing common reactions to disaster, ie,eating, sleeping, emotional stress, substance use, and isolation, patients areprovided with brief counseling and education. As a result, more than one outof every four sought behavioral health consultation and without disruptionor delay to the provision of other health services. <strong>The</strong> panel will present aresilience model that is particularly well suited to a disaster response to:integrate behavioral health with medical services through education andcounseling on self-care; address common behavioral reactions to disasterand loss; normalize common responses to trauma exposure and buildresilience; create opportunities to screen and assess for suicide, depressionand acute stress response; destigmatize mental health and substance abusescreening, treatment, and referral.Learning Objectives:u Explain the concept of wellness in improving resilience and how it canbe implemented in a medical disaster response.u Operationalize concepts for implementation in a medical disasterresponse.u Describe clear roles for behavioral health providers in medical settings.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health education specialists, industrialhygienists, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses,pharmacists, physicians, social workersSession 04: Palliative Care Considerations inDisaster SituationsPresenters: Carma Erickson-Hertz, MS; Marianne Matzo, PhD, GNP-BC,FPCN; Tia Powell, MD; Jon Surbeck, MATime: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Bayou EFocus Area: Healthcare SystemsPalliative care has implications during disasters. While we routinely improvethe quality of life and mitigate suffering for people facing serious illness,our disaster preparedness planning efforts often fail to account and planfor those patients who will die <strong>from</strong> illness, injury, or lack of access to lifesavingresources during disasters. In mass casualty events, it is likely therewill be more patients who require care than we have resources to treat.Those patients will require palliative care techniques, like pain and symptommanagement. Secondly, we will need to maintain services for those receivingpalliative care services at the time of the disaster. Advanced illness and endof-lifecare pose particular challenges during health emergences, givencomplex care needs and the often competing demands for trained providers,34<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

This session will present and compare existing nationalguidelines for health emergency response, focusing on issues related topalliative and end-of-life care. Special attention will be given to the surgecapacity planning needs of hospice and palliative care providers and toproviding tools for leveraging their expertise to maximize care for patientswith serious, advanced illness.Learning Objectives:u Discuss Health and Human Services (HHS) templates for states,emergency medical services (EMS) systems, hospitals, and individualclinicians to guide decision making when implementing crisisstandards of care that can be easily read, understood, and executedduring an incident.u Explain existing guidelines for scarce resource allocation and crisisstandards of care, and their implications for surge capacity planningfactors for hospice and palliative care providers.u Identify potential disaster scenarios that might be faced at the localand state level, requiring palliative care services.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses,pharmacists, physicians, psychologists, social workersSession 05: Passing the Torch: Succession PlanningDone Right?Presenter: Teddy Rogers, MSA, NREMT-PTime: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Delta CFocus Area: LeadershipOne of the primary tasks of any quality leader is the continual and progressivework around succession planning. <strong>The</strong>re are those who say a great leadermay not be replaceable, and then there are those who say a great leadershould have prepared for such a transition. <strong>The</strong> successful leader’s roleis to literally plan to be replaced! <strong>The</strong> welfare of any great organizationdepends upon this premise. <strong>The</strong> primary acts that a great leader performs toprepare for successful transitions are casting vision, planting and guardingthe organizational culture, and fostering an environment where subordinateleaders can perform in a fail-safe manner, free to make mistakes and learnwithout sinking the organization as a whole. This session will center onthese three primary acts that, if done correctly and proactively, will lay theframework for a successful transition in any organization. Finally, the greatleader must learn firsthand that the success or failure of such a transition liescompletly within. Ego management, overconfidence or lack of confidence,and personal motives and behaviors are all critical in any leadershiptransition. If you are in a leadership position, you have a job to do. Planto leave the day you are hired, because you will leave whether you wantto or not!Learning Objectives:u Describe the intrinsic value of performing the three acts of successionplanning offered in this course and how to do them.u Discuss the importance of looking within in order to successfully passthe torch. Ironically, what’s inside you will come out when you leave,like it or not.u Demonstrate the process of passing the torch!Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,social workers, veterinariansSession 06: Chaplaincy Support for DisasterDeployment ResponsesPresenter: Catherine Witte, RPh, MDivTime: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Delta DFocus Area: LeadershipAs stated by Dr. George Everly, Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus of theInternational Critical Incident Stress Foundation, “It has been commonlyobserved that in times of crisis and disaster, many individuals seek outreligious or spiritual leaders,” but it it has only been within the last 10 or15 years that spiritual care has been formally integrated into many types ofdisaster response missions. <strong>The</strong> provision of spiritual and emotional supportin a timely and appropriate manner to those impacted by disasters has thebenefit of mitigating short and longer-term distress (emotionally, spiritually,and physically) for individual survivors, communities, first responders, andothers involved in providing disaster relief. Chaplains with specialized trainingtypically use various methods and approaches in providing spiritual careservices in disaster response, and examples of these will be discussed. Aswith other components within disaster response, spiritual care is a field thatis growing and adapting to most effectively meet the needs and challengesof diverse communities. Encouraging collaborative partnerships in providingspiritual care within communities and across agencies serving those in needwill be essential for the success of the overall disaster response mission.Learning Objectives:u Discuss a history and overview of spiritual care services as a formalcomponent in disaster response.u Define the role and function of chaplains and others providingspiritual care within the incident command and disaster responseoperation.u Describe planning, methods, and execution of spiritual care servicesas an integrated component of USPHS and other agency disasterresponse missions.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health education specialists, marriage& family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,social workers<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 35session Descriptions


wednesday, May 23, <strong>2012</strong>Session Descriptionssession DescriptionsSession 07: DRAT! (Disaster Readiness Actions forTeens) and North Minneapolis Tornado <strong>Recovery</strong>Presenters: Nancy Carlson, BS, CFT, CFE; Michael Thomas, PsyD, LPTime: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Governor’s AEFocus Area: Public HealthOn May 22, 2011, the worst tornado to hit Minneapolis in 30 yearspummeled the north side of Minneapolis in a high-poverty area with a highpercentage of rental property, multifamily homes, and subsidized (morethan 80% in some areas) housing. A Behavioral Health <strong>Recovery</strong> Committeewas developed, consisting of Hennepin County, City of Minneapolis, Healthand Family Support, North Point Center for Health & Wellness, and MNDepartment of Health (MDH), through grant funding by the MN Departmentof Human Services. Our focus was on youth recovery, since we knewthat in working with the children we would also help tornado-impactedfamilies and communities to recover. <strong>The</strong> MDH DRAT! Disaster ReadinessActions for Teens program was chosen as our vehicle for postemergencypreparedness education. DRAT! is a youth emergency preparedness trainingprogram specifically geared for tweens (ages 10-12) and teens with the goalof engaging, educating, and empowering youth to respond safely duringcritical incidents such as natural disasters, man-made incidents, publichealth emergencies, and school threats. <strong>The</strong> DRAT! program name and logowere determined by surveying MN youth aged 10-18 via word of mouth andwith an online Twitter and Facebook survey. A youth focus group was utilizedto review content and ensure that it connected with our population and metthe program goal of engaging, educating, and empowering youth to respondsafely during crises and disasters. <strong>The</strong> program contains six modules: WhyPrepare, Stay Safe, Make a Plan, Make a Kit, Stay Calm, and Celebration ofKnowledge. Our initial goal consisted of training 100 youth by providingfive 1½-hour training sessions to groups consisting of 25 tweens/teens. Wedetermined that due to the potentially traumatized and disaster-impactednature of our audience, we would focus mainly on the modules discussingmaking plans, staying safe, and staying calm. Our trainers consisted of alicensed mental health professional to teach the youth psychological firstaid (PFA) module teamed with a peer trainer for the preparedness content.This session will discuss the need for a youth focus in disaster recovery andreview: the DRAT! training modules; emergency preparedness kit; youthpsychological first aid training and Youth PFA card; our training plan andhow we adapted and implemented the program; effectiveness based ontrainer debriefing and participant evaluations; and next steps in youth andcommunity recovery and resilience building.Learning Objectives:u Describe how to use a youth emergency preparedness program as acommunity disaster recovery tool.u Discuss how to implement psychological first aid training for youth asa means to reduce disaster stress symptoms and encourage ongoingdaily stress reduction and healthy self-care behavior.u Assess the effectiveness of youth emergency preparedness planningin youth disaster behavioral health recovery and overall communityresilience building.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health education specialists, marriage& family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,psychologists, social workersSession 08: Medication Needs of Survivors with ChronicConditions to Prevent Deterioration During ShelteringPresenter: Charles Stewart, MD, EMDM, MPH(c)Time: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Bayou ABFocus Area: Public Health<strong>The</strong> recent Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami, HurricanesKatrina, Ike, and Gustav, and the Indian Ocean tsunami have focused ourattention on the need for disaster preparedness and mitigation. Large cities,such as Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, and St. Louis, remain at high riskfor catastrophic loss of life <strong>from</strong> weather, earthquake, or man-made disaster.Such large-scale disasters affect every segment of society, though it is clearthat some segments are more vulnerable than others. Treatment of thepatient who is injured in a disaster is a well-considered part of the overallplans by the emergency manager and the medical community at large.Other populations, such as children, nursing home residents, prisoners,pregnant women, respirator-dependent patients, those on dialysis, the frailelderly, and chronically disabled individuals, have been identified in othervenues. Extensive research has been published on disasters, health caredisparities, and medically underserved populations, but little attention hasbeen paid to those with chronic diseases who will decompensate withouttheir medications or treatments. A major category of vulnerable childrenand adults includes those with chronic treatable illnesses such as diabetes,COPD, seizures, hypertension, heart disease, and even chronic painsyndromes. This population may normally lead productive lives with littleor no external signs of disability. Given a few days without their supportivemedication, however, they may require intensive care and consume preciousmedical resources. If these people are displaced abruptly <strong>from</strong> their home orworkplace, their medications may be left behind or destroyed in the disaster.We attempted to compile a list of medications that should be consideredfor those planning shelters or nonemergent care facilities in the wake of adisaster. What medications will urgent care providers (in shelters or similarsituations) need to provide these patients to prevent deterioration of theircondition? To create a meta-analysis, the authors reviewed literature <strong>from</strong>2000-2011 using the key words “chronic,” “disaster,” “disease management,”“planning,” and “preparedness.” Searches were performed using Google,Google Scholar, and PubMed for medications required in the first week ofsheltering in disasters.Learning Objectives:u Identify those chronic diseases that will require additional attention toprevent decompensation during sheltering operations.u Explain why prompt intervention in chronic disease care in shelteredpatients will decrease the burden on overtaxed medical resources.u List chronic disease medications that emergency planners shouldconsider in arranging stockpiles, caches, and deployment packages.36<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

Effective triage and appropriate patient classification(Minimal=Green, Delayed=Yellow, Immediate=Red, and Expectant=Black)will maximize the life and limb-saving capabilities of medical personnel,equipment, and facilities. Providing hands-on, case-based scenarios withthe use of a human patient simulator will facilitate a comprehensive trainingenvironment, meeting the needs of all skill levels. <strong>The</strong> human patientsimulator is a computer-driven, multidiscipline tool that will demonstratea variety of human physiologic conditions related to injuries sustained <strong>from</strong>mass casualty events. Participants will be given instant and post-simulationfeedback during their demonstration of triage classification and medicalinterventions based upon the patient’s initial assessment and mechanism ofinjury. Since real-world emergency situations provide no room for error, thisparticular virtual learning environment will promote improved real-worldtriage care and increase the confidence of our medical responders.Learning Objectives:u List and define the four categories and colors of triage.u Verbalize and demonstrate the ability to properly triage and explainthe mechanism of injury with appropriate lifesaving intervention.u Recite appropriate physiologic theoretical data on virtual humanpatient simulator casualties and place them in their respectivecategories.Intended Audience: Emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, medical administrators, nurses,pharmacists, physicians, respiratory therapistsSession 10: ESF#8 Patient Tracking Force MultiplierPresenters: Knox Andress, RN, BA, AD; John Donohue, BS, EMT-P;Timothy Grapes, BA; Joe Lamana, MA, BA; Paul Petersen, PharmD, BCPSTime: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Governor’s DFocus Area: Resource Management and Patient MovementMonitoring interstate and multi-jurisdictional patient movement duringemergencies has historically presented great challenges. Over the past twoyears, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Healthand Human Services, and their partners have worked collaboratively toidentify and develop holistic solutions that address tracking of patientswhile improving the overall situational awareness. This truly interactivesession will monitor the movement of the session participants in real timeas they are tagged (banded), registered, and moved among “locations” inthe room representing four disparate systems. Participants will be able to seethemselves being simultaneously transferred between systems and locationsas “emergency patients.” This session will include solutions for tracking bothNational Disaster Medical System (NDMS) and non-NDMS patients. Trackingsystems discussed and utilized will include those <strong>from</strong> Louisiana, Maryland,Tennessee, and the NDMS Joint Patient Assessment and Tracking System(JPATS). Overviews will include Federal, state, and local system roles andrelationships across the patient tracking continuum, including the TranscomRegulating and Command & Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) and others.This session will demonstrate how easily crucial information concerning thecare and tracking of patients can now occur to provide 360-degree situationalawareness during an emergency. Longitudinal patient tracking informationcan be maintained. <strong>The</strong> ability to electronically receive data-rich manifestsallows responders to lean forward and assist in ways never possible before inmass patient evacuation emergencies. With the aggregate data <strong>from</strong> thesecombined tracking systems, Department of Health and Human Services, theOffice of the Assistant Secretary for preparedness and Response (HHS/ASPR)can be fully aware of the locations and conditions of people, enabling a moredirected response while improving the ability of locating missing persons.Participants will be introduced to emerging data exchange standards,methods to seamlessly track patients in emergencies, bar coding technology,use of triage tagging systems, and mobile software applications. <strong>The</strong> sessionwill also delineate for participants implementation options available to theirorganization, provide step-by-step instructions, and identify organizationaland technology impediments to successful implementation. <strong>The</strong> session willalso introduce participants to the use of the National Health InformationNetwork (NHIN) and FEMA Integrated Public Alert and FEMA IntegratedPublic Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).Learning Objectives:u Describe the emerging data exchange architecture that is beingestablished to provide patient tracking in a timely and meaningfulfashion for future emergencies.u Explain how patient tracking systems and secure message routing canbe used for critical situational awareness during emergencies involvingmultiple jurisdictions and states.<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 37session Descriptions

In thespring of <strong>2012</strong>, the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy organizedan elective class, Public Health Consequences of Infectious Diseases, onemerging infectious diseases, including a practical component on all-hazardsemergency preparedness and response. While the didactic portions of theclass involved student groups researching and presenting past responsesto actual emerging infectious disease outbreaks, the practical responseinvolved students planning and testing a new College of Pharmacy buildingas a primary point of dispensing (POD) during an outbreak of a hypotheticalinfection that creates zombies, thus mimicking an outbreak of an unknown,yet highly communicable and terrifying infectious disease. Using borrowedsignage and materials <strong>from</strong> the state health department’s Center forEmergency <strong>Preparedness</strong> and Response (CEPR) municipal POD Go-Kit, thestudents set up a POD in real time and recruited faculty, staff, and studentsas volunteers to attend the POD, serve in the POD, and attack the POD aszombies. Evaluators <strong>from</strong> other universities, cities and towns, and the statewere able to view the POD flow and activities through the glassed-in roomsused in the POD. This activity was also combined with a student pharmacist–run repackaging exercise in association with CEPR, providing “Zombiecycline”for dispensing in the POD. Evaluators also observed the activity. Finally, fourgroups of student pharmacists in the elective class produced public serviceannouncements outlining the mitigation, preparedness, response, andrecovery <strong>from</strong> the zombie apocalypse, with guidance <strong>from</strong> the CDC PublicHealth <strong>Preparedness</strong> and Response Zombie Task Force. It is hoped that thePOD location will be used for future actual and exercise responses, potentiallyincluding pharmacist-administered influenza immunizations to the staff,faculty, and students at the university as a pandemic influenza exercise.Learning Objectives:u Define the value of collaboration of university health professionalschools, CDC, and state health departments in emergency responsetraining activities.u Evaluate the effectiveness and pitfalls of using a technologicallyadvanced university building as a POD site staffed by studentvolunteers.u Develop a plan to enhance higher education and public healthcollaboration for all-hazards preparedness and response.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, industrial hygienists, marriage & family therapists, medicaladministrators, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, social workersSession 12: Operational Medicine: Past, Present,and FuturePresenters: CAPT Allen Dobbs, MD; David Marcozzi, MD, MHS-CL,FACEP; Sean Siler, DOTime: 1030-1145 hrsRoom: Governor’s BFocus Area: Response Integration/Operational MedicineWhat is operational medicine? Operational medicine (OPMED) is definedas care provided in an unconventional setting where access to traditionalresources may be significantly limited. This can include working with limitedsupplies, staffing, or time as well as under extremes of climate, location, orenvironment. OPMED includes components of disaster, military, wilderness,frontier, emergency, pre-hospital, tactical, and international medicine.<strong>The</strong> concept of OPMED, perhaps best defined by the military experience,resonates with the emergency preparedness and response community.“Good medicine under challenging conditions” is an appropriate phrase<strong>from</strong> Afghanistan to Joplin. Whether <strong>from</strong> war or disaster, the practice ofmedicine in an affected community will be significantly different comparedto one that is intact. Poor environmental conditions, limited supplies, longhours, and high patient volumes are common variables regardless of thesetting. However, fundamental differences exist between the military andcivilian practice of OPMED. <strong>The</strong>se differences will shape the delivery of carein the civilian disaster environment.<strong>The</strong> presenters will introduce examples of OPMED missions, discuss howOPMED principles may differ <strong>from</strong> the typical care delivered in the UnitedStates, and emphasize the opportunities for ESF#8 responders to benefit<strong>from</strong> the lessons learned across the other disciplines of OPMED <strong>from</strong> aroundthe globe. This session will serve as a kickoff lecture to frame the othersessions in the new OPMED track at the <strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit.This session will explore many of the issues faced by civilian practitionersin the disaster environment and address how they may be able to adaptsome of the principles of OPMED to help them carry out their mission. Inparticular, the panel will discuss how the concepts of OPMED have beenand will be incorporated into the ESF#8 response to disasters and publichealth emergencies. <strong>The</strong> presenters have experience in civilian and militarymedicine under a wide range of environments.Learning Objectives:u Define what the specialty of operational medicine is and the role ofoperational medicine in ESF#8.u Explain common conceptual approaches to operational medicinepatients, and then define how the environment of care requiresvariations.38<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

Thissession will provide an overview of the strategies, methods, and challengesrelated to partnering with local health departments for regional healthcarecoalition hosting. <strong>The</strong> session will address the processes utilized to developproject objectives, timelines, and funding allocations. Structural topics willbe reviewed, including the identification, recruitment, and retention ofcoalition partners, the development of core program documents includingMOU/A, coalition charters, and regional response plans. <strong>The</strong> target audiencefor this session will be local, district, and state level staff involved in theimplementation and development of regional healthcare coalitions.Learning Objectives:u Design a plan to determine the regional healthcare coalition structurethat will be successful in the participant’s state, and identify localpartners that will contribute to successful outcomes.u Compare the benefits and challenges of utilizing local health districtsas hosting agencies for coalitions.u Analyze the process of coalition objective development, and determinehow these objectives could be implemented in other states.Intended Audience: Emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, medical administrators, nurses,physiciansSession DescriptionsSession 14: Emergency Planning for Safe andAppropriate Management of Behavioral HealthPatients During DisastersPresenters: Diane Angelico, Cassandra Suzette WilsonTime: 1315-1430 hrsRoom: Bayou EFocus Area: Healthcare SystemsAs a part of the Florida Department of Health efforts to continue to expandand improve partnerships and joint efforts with health care system partners,the Medical Surge Program has explored a number of approaches to engagepartners. In August 2011, a short survey was sent to hospital and hospitalsystem partners. <strong>The</strong> purpose of the survey was to determine the level ofinterest in short, scheduled, virtual meetings for the exchange of information.<strong>The</strong> distribution lists included 175 unduplicated email addresses. Ninetynineresponses were received with only one negative response. As a result ofthis initial interest, a number of short programs will be offered. <strong>The</strong> programcontent is based on an assessment and prioritization by the target audience,our hospital partners at the direct service level. <strong>The</strong> role of the department isto facilitate and promote participation. To make the sessions more attractiveto participants, continuing education credit is offered as appropriate. <strong>The</strong>presenters come <strong>from</strong> the disciplines that have the highest level of expertisefor the subject area. For example, some sessions, such as safety and securityor active shooter, include a law enforcement component. Use of virtualmeeting technology allows us to have statewide participation. Participantsreceive announcements, registration information, and program materialselectronically. Much of the material and samples shared can be downloadedand customized for site-specific use. <strong>The</strong> initial plan was to limit participationto about 50 sites or participants. <strong>The</strong> first program offered was “UsingDisaster Core Competencies for Hospital Personal.” <strong>The</strong> presenters includeda nurse <strong>from</strong> a small critical access hospital with 25 beds in a rural areaof Florida, a representative <strong>from</strong> a medium hospital with 250 beds, and aphysician <strong>from</strong> a 700+ facility in a large urban area. We were also fortunateto have a hospital health care system rep who addressed how he was able touse the competencies in his system. <strong>The</strong> exchange of information connectedproviders that had not previously had contact and led to a commitmentto share sample materials such as memorandums of agreement. <strong>The</strong> finalcount for the webinar was 64 participants. <strong>The</strong> number may be higher asmore than one person could view and participate in the program once a sitewas logged in. <strong>The</strong> evaluations have been very favorable and a number oftopics have been suggested for future programs.Learning Objectives:u Provide an overview of using short JIT information sharing andtraining programs to address emerging preparedness issues for healthcare system providers.u Demonstrate improved and increased sharing of information and bestpractices between hospitals and health care system partners.u Describe examples of increased engagement of hospitals andstrengthened partnerships between the department and hospitals.session DescriptionsIntended Audience: Emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, medical administrators, nurses,physicians<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 39

It is essential that programs existto effectively engage, mentor, and develop youth now, so when the timecomes, they are ready to strengthen the local public health system, improveresponse capabilities, and build community resiliency. Youth engagement is akey component of succession planning. <strong>The</strong> Division of the Civilian VolunteerMedical Reserve Corps (DCVMRC), the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS)and HOSA–Future Health Professionals have established a close workingrelationship in order to further youth engagement and to foster mentoringand youth development opportunities. HOSA is a national organization thatprovides a unique program of leadership development, motivation, andrecognition for health science education students and serves as a modelof how students can engage in public health and preparedness volunteeractivities. Recent research for a doctoral thesis was conducted to explore thechallenges and benefits that an MRC unit may experience when engaginghigh-school-age youth. <strong>The</strong> investigator, along with leaders <strong>from</strong> HOSA, PHS,and DCVMRC, will highlight the importance of youth engagement, identifysome challenges regarding youth involvement, and lead discussion aboutways to overcome the barriers. Real-life examples of how HOSA, PHS, andMRC have partnered to provide opportunities for students will be presented.Learning Objectives:u Describe the importance of youth engagement as a component ofsuccession planning.u Discuss potential barriers to youth engagement and involvement, andidentify ways to overcome the barriers.u Explain opportunities to engage youth in public health, preparedness,and response activities.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,social workers, veterinariansSession 16: <strong>The</strong> New Normal? Managing the Rise ofIncivility in Today’s DeploymentPresenter: Dennis Michael Baker, MA, LPCTime: 1315-1430 hrsRoom: Delta DFocus Area: LeadershipCivility is fundamental in any business, including disaster response. Peopletend to do business with those who grant them respect and make themfeel good. Similarly, civility among disaster team members fosters smoothrelationships within the team, promoting harmony and goodwill. When40civility is absent, team relations are strained. Rude treatment can makemembers unhappy, leading to cynicism, aggressive behavior, higher teammember turnover, lower team performance, and team conflict. Uncivilbehavior makes the deployment unpleasant, and it can negatively affecta team’s primary mission. When we are deployed, we sense it before wecan name it. Your team commander rolls his eyes, then sighs, “I alreadytold you what I wanted”; your team partner feigns deafness to your pleasto turn down her radio; a colleague ignores your emails and dodgesyour calls regarding progress on an important project. <strong>The</strong>se otherwiseeveryday interpersonal exchanges become conspicuous and memorableto us. <strong>Through</strong> other people’s body language, facial expressions, actions,omissions, mindlessness, and apparently demeaning remarks, we sizeup the interaction and feel diminished. We absorb these cues throughsituations and behaviors embedded in very narrow slices of our deploymentexperiences. We recognize in an instant a phenomenon called incivility.Given the speed, frequency, and complexity of deployment interactions intoday’s high-tech and global world, behavior has more nuances. Simply put,there are many more ways to show disregard for fellow team members.While much has been written about the hardships of deployment, it is oftenthe subtle things about the deployment that take the biggest toll. Cautionarytales <strong>from</strong> past events will be discussed to highlight “best practices” forimplementing corrective actions. This “New Normal?” session offers practicaland simple solutions to common errors in team interactions, leadership, andcommunication. When disaster strikes and teams are sent, we want to becertain we are sending the right message to our personnel. This session usesevidence-based practices to show you how to develop civility within yourteam structure and offer clear behavioral directives to your personnel.Learning Objectives:u Cite several examples of incivility that occur on deployment anddescribe how these incivilities hamper mission goals.u Identify low-intensity, discourteous behaviors that occur ondeployment and their effects on team performance.u Cite several examples of behaviors that leaders and team memberscan deploy to improve civility within a team structure.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,social workers, veterinariansSession 17: 36-Hour Exercise, Ventura’s Story:Operation Medical Shelter 2011Presenters: CDR Patrick Denis, MBA, RN; Barry Fisher, MA, BA;Norm Plott; Chris RosaTime: 1315-1430 hrsRoom: Governor’s AEFocus Area: Public HealthThis session will provide concepts <strong>from</strong> the national health security strategypractically applied in a field setting. <strong>The</strong> logistics related to medical surge areevaluated by integrating hospitals into the field environment.

Annelli, MS, EMT-B,BS; Paul A. Biedrzycki, MPH, MBA,CIHTime: 1315-1430 hrsRoom: Bayou ABFocus Area: Public HealthThis session highlights the importance of planning for heat-related morbidityand mortality during extreme heat events (EHE), which can result in moremortality and morbidity than all other natural hazards combined, includingcatastrophic flooding, tornadoes, and hurricanes. A snapshot review ofMaryland’s local health department’s plans and protocols revealed thatthere is little consensus on who should be responsible for heat planning andwhether heat planning efforts are even necessary. <strong>The</strong> review prompted theMaryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) to developthe State Heat Emergency Plan in 2011 to provide planning guidance onpossible steps at the state and local level to prevent heat-related morbidityand mortality. <strong>The</strong> emergency plan guides DHMH’s actions during anextreme heat event, defined in the plan as a day when the heat index isexpected to reach 105ºF or the ambient temperature is expected to exceed100ºF. During these events, DHMH would issue a heat advisory to notifystate and local partners of the potential dangers associated with extremeheat events. <strong>The</strong> plan provides guidance for local health departments(LHDs) by providing suggested actions and public messaging resources.Weekly reports with information on temperature, emergency departmentvisits, deaths, and demographics were issued to provide locals with datato refine their planning efforts. Included in the planning efforts was a stateheat-related illness website, which provided public messaging with basicinformation on how individuals can be protected <strong>from</strong> the heat, links toadditional materials, contact information for local health departments,and weekly surveillance reports. This session is designed to share DHMH’sbest practices in developing a statewide plan and providing the necessaryguidance to a diverse mix of jurisdictions with different needs. We willexplore the various heat planning efforts at the local level, ranging <strong>from</strong>public education campaigns to jurisdictional heat emergency declarationsand sheltering programs. In addition, the issues presented will be highlightedwith a case study of a field trip that resulted in heat-related morbidity duringan extreme heat event. <strong>The</strong> session will conclude with the lessons learned,best practices, and issues raised during the 2011 extreme heat season.Learning Objectives:u State an understanding of the role of public health in a heat emergency.u Explain the development and composition of extreme heat eventresponse plans.u Identify partners for heat planning to address outreach, provide coolenvironments, and supply water to at-risk populations.u Describe urban heat island factors and how they affect extreme heatevents.u Discuss the types of communities that are most vulnerable to extremeheat events, and how to mitigate the resulting mortalityand morbidity.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, nurses, pharmacists, physicians,social workersSession 19: Veterinary Resources: First Aid forNon-Vets and Disaster Animal HealthPresenters: Marie Kerl, DVM, MPH, BS; R.

A Peek behind the USTRANSCOM CurtainPresenters: Lisa DeDecker, MS; Lt Col Heidi Hastings, FACHETime: 1315-1430 hrsRoom: Governor’s DFocus Area: Resource Management and Patient Movement<strong>The</strong> United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), a combatantcommand of the Department of Defense, is the sole provider of patientmovement in support of Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA). Thissession will outline the Joint Patient Movement Team (JMPT) and JointPatient Reporting Team (JPRT), who facilitate patient movement during DSCAresponse efforts. Unlike a no-notice event, pre-hurricane patient movementrequires a certain lead time for success. <strong>The</strong> use of pre-scripted missionassignments (PSMAs) and the critical timeline for DOD involvement will bedelineated. <strong>Through</strong>out this session, success stories and lessons learned<strong>from</strong> exercises and real-world events such as Operation Unified Response(Haiti) will be discussed. As planning has evolved over the past three yearsfor events such as those described in the National Response Plan, twocritical elements have been identified: the increased reliance on a strongDOD/DHHS partnership and the need for compatible information systems.<strong>The</strong> DOD/DHHS partnership of the Disaster Aeromedical Staging Facility(DASF) with the Mobile Acute Care Strike Team (MAC-ST) will be highlighted.42Technological advances in data capture and transfer could benefit patientmovement in the DSCA environment. An example of this would be theexpanding use of the Joint Patient Assessment and Tracking System (JPATS).<strong>The</strong> new disaster patient movement request forms will be demonstrated andfeedback requested. Annual interagency training opportunities are beingprojected and standardized training plans are being developed.Learning Objectives:u Describe the timelines required and capabilities for a DOD DSCAresponse.u Analyze the cooperative DASF/MAC-ST initiative between DOD andHHS.u Compare the DOD and DHHS patient tracking systems used duringpatient movement.u Illustrate required training needed for DSCA patient staging andevacuation.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health education specialists , marriage& family therapists, medical administrators, nurses, physicians, socialworkersSession 21: A Military and Public Health Joint TrainingModel that CaresPresenters: Charles R.

This exercise provided a unique opportunityto implement a new deployment model for PHS, which involved dividingassets into multiple operational sites, coordinating efforts with state andlocal responders, integrating mental health and social services, and lookingat new ways of collecting and analyzing data. Clinical teams developeda framework and tools whereby clients could become empowered tobecome active in the management of their own healthcare. Services includeimmunizations, preschool physical exams and screening, treatment, andeducation for general medical conditions plus hearing, vision, behavioralhealth, and dental care. A navigator-based system was implemented toprovide permission, education, and tools so that people left the site withan understanding of their health status in several dimensions, includingphysical, mental, emotional, dietary, and safety.

Thomas Mignone, Jr, MPH, REHSTime: 1315-1430 hrsRoom: Governor’s BFocus Area: Response Integration/Operational MedicineDisaster behavioral health is an integral part of the overall public health andmedical preparedness, response, and recovery system. It includes the manyinterconnected psychological, emotional, cognitive, developmental, andsocial influences on behavior, mental health, and substance use/abuse, andthe effect of these influences on preparedness, response, and recovery <strong>from</strong>disasters or traumatic events. Historically, the coordination and effectiveintegration of numerous and diverse behavioral health stakeholders andproviders into the larger health and medical response has been a challengeat Federal, state, and local levels. In December 2010, the Office of theAssistant Secretary for <strong>Preparedness</strong> and Response (ASPR) within the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) initiated the HHS DisasterBehavioral Health Concept of Operations (DBH CONOPS) Working Group.<strong>The</strong> working group was comprised of agency representatives across HHSand aimed to develop a CONOPS to provide coordination and guidancefor HHS Federal-level behavioral health preparedness, response, andrecovery action for disasters and public health emergencies. Developmentof a DBH CONOPS is a recommendation of both the National BiodefenseScience Board and the National Commission on Children and Disasters.Effective and well-coordinated behavioral health preparedness, response,and recovery can mitigate or prevent more serious behavioral healthproblems in disaster survivors and responders and promote individual andcommunity resilience. <strong>The</strong> DBH CONOPS describes the overarching conceptualframework that HHS uses to coordinate HHS-wide preparedness, response,and recovery activities in concert with its authorities and responsibilities.<strong>The</strong> goal of the DBH CONOPS is to improve coordination of departmentalpreparedness, response, and recovery efforts concerning behavioral healthin support of state, territorial, tribal, and local efforts in a manner consistentwith the National Response Framework and the National Disaster <strong>Recovery</strong>Framework. Facilitated discussion about state and local response andrecovery activities and how these are supported through the DBH CONOPSwill also be a focus of the session. This interactive session will allowparticipants with and without behavioral health expertise to considerhow disaster behavioral health preparedness efforts can support existingoperational guidance at the Federal level and can enhance and informoverall emergency response and recovery at Federal, state, and local levels.Learning Objectives:u Identify the most common evidence-informed disaster behavioralhealth activities and interventions used to support survivors andresponders at the Federal, state, and local levels.u Describe the key elements of the Disaster Behavioral Health CONOPSand identify key roles and responsibilities of HHS operating and staffdivisions in disaster behavioral health response and recovery.u Discuss how the content of the Disaster Behavioral Health CONOPScan inform and optimize overall public health and medical responseand recovery <strong>from</strong> disasters and public health emergencies.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health education specialists, marriage& family therapists, medical administrators, nurses, physicians, socialworkersSession 23: Responder Risk in Crisis Standards of CarePresenters: Dan Hanfling, MD, FACEP; CAPT Kenneth Harman, MD;Fred Henretig, MD; Merritt Schreiber, PhDTime: 1515-1645 hrsRoom: Delta BFocus Area: Joint SessionRecently, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released reports andrecommendations on implementing crisis standards of care (CSC) in healthemergencies. One cross-cutting component of the IOM recommendationsis the need to address the impact of implementing CSC on healthcareworkers. Although many healthcare workers confront life and deathdecisions on a daily basis, the nature of crisis standards of care involvesfundamental differences in both the qualitative and quantitative aspectsof many healthcare stressors. Consequently, the IOM Committee on CrisisStandards of Care has developed a number of key force health protectionactions involving leadership of diverse healthcare systems and healthcareworkers themselves. <strong>The</strong> recommendations will be presented and reviewedby several members of the IOM CSC, including the primary developer of theforce mental health protection recommendations.session Descriptions<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 43

Knebel, RN, DNSc, FAANTime: 1515-1645 hrsRoom: Delta DFocus Area: Joint SessionHealth and Human Services (HHS) is developing guidance to assist with itsdecisions about allocation of resources in disaster settings. <strong>The</strong> intent of thisguidance is to offer key decision makers (1) a set of fundamental ethicalprinciples and values to consider when making decisions about allocation ofscarce Federal resources, and (2) a set of evaluation criteria that are ethicallyappropriate for considering specific allocation decisions. HHS is committed todeveloping and clearly communicating Federal resource allocation processesand criteria in advance of a disaster. To that end, HHS is seeking individualinput <strong>from</strong> stakeholders regarding the fundamental ethical principlesand values and the allocation criteria that HHS is developing to guide itsdecisions about allocation of resources in disaster settings. This session willprovide an opportunity for stakeholders attending the Summit (e.g., local,state, regional, tribal, and territorial) to review, evaluate, and rate proposedallocation criteria. An overview of the initiative to date, including backgroundon draft criteria, will commence the session. Various disaster scenarios willthen be presented to set the context for participants to think through issuesthat may be faced related to the decision-making process for allocation.Participants will then have an opportunity to provide stakeholder input onthe proposed criteria. Participants will engage in discussions regarding thescenarios and rating the criteria. A re-rating process will follow the discussionto aid in a final assessment of the proposed criteria. This stakeholder inputwill be considered as HHS finalizes guidance to support decision makingrelated to the allocation of scarce Federal resources in disaster settings.Learning Objectives:u Discuss the possible resource limitations that may be faced inallocating Federal resources during emergencies.u Identify various ethical values that might be appropriate for fairallocation of limited Federal resources.u Compare the relevant perspectives regarding criteria for distributinglimited Federal resources to states in emergency situations.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, emergency physicians,EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health education specialists,marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses, physicians,psychologists, social workersSession 25: Implications of New InternationalAgreements on Public Health <strong>Preparedness</strong> andResponsePresenters: Nigel Lightfoot, MSc, FRCPath, FFPH; Maria JuliaMarinissen, PhD; <strong>The</strong>resa Wing Sze Tam, MBBS (UK), FRCPCTime: 1515-1645 hrsRoom: Delta CFocus Area: Joint SessionIn the past year, several new international commitments have beenundertaken by the U.S. and Canadian governments.

After all, life is just onebig popularity contest, right? So it is not surprising that we tend to couplelikability with effective leadership. However, a leader’s job is not to build ateam of people who like and are committed to him or her, but to build a teamthat is committed to following him or her in the pursuit of accomplishing aparticular task. Likability lets us be champions for our cause, but can hindergood decision making and effectiveness as a leader. This session will helpparticipants understand the link between likability and effective leadershipand provide ideas for harnessing the power of likability.Learning Objectives:u Identify the traits of a likable person and an effective leader.u Explain the link between likability and effective leadership.u Describe how to develop the traits of likability to improve leadershipskills.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses,physicians, social workers, veterinariansSession 30: Listen, Protect, ConnectPresenters: Merritt Schreiber, PhD; LT CDR Anthony Tranchita, PhD, MSTime: 1015-1130 hrsRoom: Delta DFocus Area: LeadershipListen, Protect, Connect (LPC) is a psychological first aid (PFA) model that wasdeveloped specifically for use by community members to enhance resilience.Listen, Protect and Connect uses only non-mental-health responders withversions that focus on children, parents, family, and the community. Thismodel, when used by responders, can build community resiliency forcommunity disaster victims and responder-to-responder peer support. Thisis a key component of the “Anticipate, Plan and Deter” Responder ResilienceSystem in use in Los Angeles County hospitals and clinics and in the Stateof Minnesota. In this course, participants will receive training on using theNeighbor to Neighbor/Responder version of the Listen, Protect, and ConnectPFA model. This session will also highlight the successful use of LPC PFA bythe U.S. Public Health Service Mental Health Team 2 and the adaptation ofLPC PFA for healthcare workers by Los Angeles County and the Los AngelesCounty Department of Public Health.

On 2–3 May, a group of radiation and animal rescueexperts <strong>from</strong> the United States and Japan convened to discuss the currentcrisis and develop steps to provide aid to animals inside the evacuationzone. <strong>The</strong> committee included representatives <strong>from</strong> the Japanese Ministry ofEnvironment, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), United StatesArmy Veterinary Corps, veterinary and toxicology experts, academicians,and representatives <strong>from</strong> the International Fund for Animal Welfare. <strong>The</strong>goal of this session will be to present the response procedures and protocolsdeveloped during the Summit to monitor, evacuate, and treat animalscontaminated by radiation.Learning Objectives:u Discuss how to include animal decontamination protocols in trainingand response plans.u Apply recommendations and protocols <strong>from</strong> the Japan experience tothe participant’s comprehensive emergency management plans.u Develop protocols for recognizing safe levels of radiation whenworking with animals in or around nuclear evacuation zones.Intended Audience: Environmental health personnel, industrialhygienists, veterinariansSession 32: Cultural Components of ResponsePresenters: Debra Kreisberg, PhD, MA, BA; Guadalupe Pacheco Jr., MSWTime: 1015-1130 hrsRoom: Bayou ABFocus Area: Public Health<strong>The</strong> health sector in the United States is struggling to meet daily demandsfor service, particularly to underserved and marginalized populations.Disasters and mass casualty events exacerbate the existing strain on localhealth infrastructure. Currently, health disparities perpetuate conditions inwhich many people in need cannot access adequate healthcare, creatingdisparities that are magnified in the event of a disaster. Evidence indicatesthat diverse communities suffer disproportionately, in both physical andmental health, at every stage of a disaster. Understanding how socioculturalfactors affect the way people access healthcare systems and utilize resourcesinforms how hospitals and communities can prepare to address theseculturally-specific needs of vulnerable populations. This is fundamental to aresilient community and a sustainable health response system and must bethe foundation of public health preparedness and healthcare and hospitalresponse planning. Taken together, a robust, mixed-methods approach forcomprehensively incorporating marginalized and vulnerable populationsinto public health and hospital disaster planning is necessary, particularlyif offering a model that could promote integration between public health,hospitals, and emergency management. In addition, the implementationof culturally and linguistically appropriate services across the public health,medical, and emergency management aspects of disaster preparedness andresponse helps ensure the provision of quality emergency health services.Cultural and linguistic competency is thereby an important tool for addressingdisparities. <strong>Preparedness</strong> and response efforts should fit the varying culturalcontexts of their community. <strong>The</strong> session will demonstrate the HHS Office ofMinority Health’s Cultural Competency Curriculum for Disaster <strong>Preparedness</strong>and Crisis Response (DPCR) as an effective and adaptable learning tool forcultural competency and improving services to culturally and linguisticallydiverse populations. <strong>The</strong> DPCR is an accredited online continuing educationprogram that equips disaster personnel with the knowledge, awareness, andskills needed to provide emergency health services to diverse populations.Learning Objectives:u Examine the relevance and diversity of vulnerable populations.u Demonstrate the need for cultural and linguistically appropriateservices in disaster preparedness and crisis response.u Identify the cultural and linguistic competency concepts in disasterpreparedness and response.u Analyze common models and best practices for assessing socialvulnerability and evaluate the pros and cons of various approaches.u Discuss a video case study in terms of providing culturally andlinguistically appropriate services during a disaster.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses,physicians, psychologists, social workersSession 33: Leveraging Health Information Exchangefor Disaster <strong>Preparedness</strong> and Response to ImprovePatient CarePresenters: Alison Banger, MPH; LT CDR Samuel Schaffzin, MPA;Christopher Sullivan, PhD, MATime: 1015-1130 hrsRoom: Governor’s CFocus Area: Resource Management and Patient MovementDisasters often cause the displacement of patients and providers who crossstate borders to seek safety. While people move, their medical records donot. This creates major problems in accessing and delivering ongoing healthcare. <strong>The</strong>refore, the need for integrated health information exchange, intimes of disaster and in its aftermath, is critical. In 2010, the SoutheastRegional HIT-HIE Collaboration (SERCH) initiated a Health InformationExchange (HIE) Disaster Planning Project. This project was conductedthrough the State Health Policy Consortium (SHPC), an activity of theOffice of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. <strong>The</strong>SHPC is funded by the Health Information Technology for Economic andClinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American <strong>Recovery</strong> andReinvestment Act of 2009. <strong>The</strong> primary goal of the project is to define aset of strategies for sharing health information data among the southeastand gulf states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,and Texas, during and following a declared disaster. <strong>The</strong> SERCH project isusing lessons <strong>from</strong> disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and more recentlythe tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to develop astrategic plan to allow physicians and patients to access medical recordsfor healthcare treatment during and after a disaster. <strong>The</strong> SERCH team hasprepared a white paper that provides guidance and recommendationsto states who wish to understand how to integrate HIE and emergencypreparedness activities to improve patient care during a disaster. <strong>The</strong> whitepaper addresses both legal and technical issues pertaining to cross-border<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 47session Descriptions

During Hurricane Ike in 2008, a field medicalstation was opened to receive special needs medical evacuees <strong>from</strong> thehurricane evacuation zone. Upon arrival, evacuees were classified usingthe conventional triage system for acuity. Most were classified under theMinimal Needs–Green triage code. However, as the shelter populationgrew to include over 300 special needs/vulnerable population evacuees,this classification did not accurately represent the resources needed. <strong>The</strong>U.S. Public Health Service Rapid Deployment Force-1 developed and fieldtestedduring deployment a rapid screening tool to assign clients during thetriage process to one of the five Center for Medicare and Medicaid Servicescare categories. Once the level of care was identified, discharge planningwas then able to focus on the discharge and/or transfer of the higher levelof care patients and additional resources needed could be identified. <strong>The</strong>tool was validated using multiple assessors and was particularly valuable inallocating resources and prioritizing discharge planning. During this session,participants will be instructed on this new rapid assessment tool for use withspecial needs or vulnerable populations during situations when the level ofcare needs must be identified. <strong>The</strong> session will conclude with discussing anintegrated approach to this special population during disasters and how toput it all together.48Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses,physicians, respiratory therapists, social workersSession 35: Health System Response to Rapid Restorationof Medical Services after the Joplin TornadoPresenters: Paul Carlton, Jr, MD, FACS; Glenn Mitchell, MD, MPHTime: 1015-1130 hrsRoom: Delta BFocus Area: Response Integration/Operational MedicineThis session will describe the health system response to the total destructionof its 348-bed general hospital in Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011.

Evolving missions, novel requests<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit


THURsday, May 24, <strong>2012</strong>Session Descriptions<strong>from</strong> U.S. Government agencies, and an ever-increasing and sophisticatedtalent pool among disaster healthcare responders added unique missionspreviously unconsidered. Novel assignments deployed in under 48 hoursincluded rail-transport medical teams, public health assessment teamsdeployed to wide areas, and the development and integration of safetyand health systems for oil cleanup workers. Subsequently, the health andsafety system has grown through response, learning that their protectivemeasures were captured within the products provided by the OperationalMedicine Program: the Hazard Evaluation Risk Assessment (HERA) tool, theHealth and Safety Plan (HASP) template, and various safety and healthrelatedprograms and operating procedures. This session examines eachof these unique hazards that presented during the NDMS 2011 responseseason. It describes the protocol identified to address them and examineshow these protocols are being institutionalized, with emphasis on rapidand light response capabilities. <strong>The</strong> Office of the Assistant Secretary for<strong>Preparedness</strong> and Response (ASPR)/NDMS protocols now include responderand environmental measurements and prescreening, retrospective exposureassessments, and integration of health and safety response assets personnel<strong>from</strong> other deployed agencies. Communication of these products andprocedures is now occurring electronically.Learning Objectives:u Identify special hazards associated with response to potentialradiological hazardous situations, thermal extremes, long-termdeployments, and long-term public health hazards.u Identify the special hazards associated with rapid and light NDMSdeployment activities.u Identify NDMS force protection programs and their components inplace to protect responders <strong>from</strong> the hazards of ionizing radiation,temperature extremes, and post-disaster public health hazards, inboth traditional and rapid deployment scenarios.u Explain the worker safety and health requirements that new faster,lighter, smaller, specialty response teams will create, as well asremedies.u Utilize and retrieve information <strong>from</strong> the NDMS Force Protection,Health and Safety E-Learning Site (online), and use the site to accessprotective measures.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,respiratory therapists, social workers, veterinariansSession 37: In the Line of Fire: How to Prepare for,Respond to, and Recover <strong>from</strong> a Shooting IncidentPresenters: Craig DeAtley, MSHSc; Mark Potter;Mitch Saruwatari, PhD, EMT, MPHTime: 1300-1415 hrsRoom: Bayou CDFocus Area: Healthcare SystemsOver the past few years, media reports regarding workplace violenceoccurring in healthcare facilities have become far too common. Forexample, within the last year, there have been shootings at hospitals inBaltimore and suburban Washington, DC, and in a long-term-care facilityin North Carolina. For many facilities, the risk of an active shooter incidenthas subsequently become a priority risk in their hazard vulnerability analysis(HVA). This requires an increased need for a carefully thought-out responseplan that is fully integrated within the various levels of the healthcare facilityas well as among area law enforcement professionals. This session will focuson planning considerations for an active shooter <strong>from</strong> three perspectives:law enforcement early recognition and response recommendations, hospitalemergency management concerns for preparing a response plan, andhealthcare community response issues for supporting a facility impacted bythis type of incident.Learning Objectives:u Discuss early recognition and de-escalation activities for reducing therisk of hospital-based workplace violence.u Cite specific response considerations once an active shooter incidentbecomes imminent.u Outline the issues an emergency manager faces in writing an activeshooter response plan.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, emergency physicians,EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health education specialists,nurses, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, physicians,respiratory therapists, social workersSession 38: Identifying the Factors: Evacuation of theMedically DependentPresenters: Bill Halstead, MPA, CEM; Jeffrey Schlegelmilch, MPH, MEPTime: 1300-1415 hrsRoom: Bayou EFocus Area: Healthcare SystemsUnder a contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, YaleNew Haven Health Systems (YNHHS) Center for Emergency <strong>Preparedness</strong>and Healthcare Solutions (CEPHS) (www.ynhhs.org/chs) conductedextensive research into the evacuation and sheltering needs of the medicallydependent population. A medically dependent individual can be definedas a person requiring a caregiver, medications, or specialized medicalequipment to sustain life or quality of life. Based on this research, numerousissues were identified as affecting the decision to evacuate or shelter-inplacethis population. It is vital that state and local emergency managementofficials and agencies involved in disaster planning be capable of identifyingthese factors and their effect on the determination to evacuate or shelterthis population in place. Based on their ability to recognize and considerthese issues, planners may then weigh and include them when developingor updating state, county or local emergency management plans.Learning Objectives:u Explain the difference between a population with special needs andthose considered to be medically dependent.session Descriptions<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 49


THURsday, May 24, <strong>2012</strong>Session Descriptions<strong>The</strong> infant, child, and adolescent are all parts of the vulnerable pediatricpopulation. Based upon anatomical, physiological, developmental,and psychosocial differences, the pediatric patient must be consideredseparately <strong>from</strong> adults in terms of disaster planning. Unique pediatric issuesof mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery do exist. <strong>The</strong> mostchallenging is the proactive nature of mitigation. A key aspect of mitigationis identifying the pediatric population and its relationship to various hazards.Routinely, a hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA) is performed in a welldefinedcommunity. <strong>The</strong> community, in turn, is defined by key stakeholdersincluding, but not limited to, public safety and security, public works,public health, schools, colleges and universities, housing, utilities, healthcare providers, industry, service and religious organizations, and Federallyfunded local response initiatives. Other key elements to be consideredinclude geography, residential patterns, highways or other infrastructure,and climate. Once completed, the HVA will allow an institution to compilea list of potential hazards. Hospitals will then be able to prioritize planningefforts to deal with the top ten hazards and develop their preparednessefforts accordingly. However, children are a unique population, and there islittle evidence on how to perform a pediatric hazard vulnerability analysis(PHVA). This is quite concerning, especially since about 25% of the U.S.population fits into the pediatric age range. <strong>The</strong>refore, we applied basichazard vulnerability principles to develop a novel PHVA tool using a websessionDescriptionsu Explain the difference between a “no notice event” requiringevacuation or sheltering-in-place versus an “event with notice” and beable to provide examples.u List a minimum of five factors to consider when determining whetherto evacuate or shelter-in-place individuals with medical dependencies.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses,pharmacists, physicians, respiratory therapists, social workersSession 39: A Training Primer: Leaders UsingOrganizational Building BlocksPresenter: Teddy Rogers, MSA, NREMT-PTime: 1300-1415 hrsRoom: Delta CFocus Area: LeadershipThis session will focus on the three primary pillars that support anyorganization and the three things a leader must be in order to successfullylead. All organizations are grounded in leadership, training, and resources.A great leader must be a servant, a teacher, and a vessel. Leadershipand training are inextricably interconnected and then blended into theorganization’s total resources, which of course include the people. Leadersand trainers are both in the “people business,” and a failure to thrive inthis arena will lead to dismal organizational performance, if not failure.Successful leaders and trainers place the resources of an organization intoan environment and mind-set that require creating expectations and thenmanaging those expectations. <strong>The</strong> actions of successful leaders and trainerscan be compared to heavy equipment as they may function as cranes,bulldozers, and tow trucks or a combination of all when leading and trainingtheir groups. <strong>The</strong> success or failure of an organization is a direct reflectionon the proper use of the three pillars, the three things, and the three actionsthat leaders and trainers must understand, be, and use.Learning Objectives:u Explain the concept of the three pillars of an organization.u Discuss the concept of the three things that a leader or trainermust be.u Explain the heavy equipment analogy to identify the three actions thata leader or trainer must use.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, morticians,nurses, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, physicians,social workers, veterinariansSession 40: Integrating Your Team with <strong>The</strong>ir TeamPresenter: Tom Lawrence, NREMT-PTime: 1300-1415 hrsRoom: Delta DFocus Area: Leadership50<strong>The</strong>re are many occasions when a cohesive, well-practiced response teammust work uncomfortably close with a comparable team.

Three members of the panel <strong>from</strong> Washington State will discusshow they have worked together on public health preparedness andresponse with a focus on participation in the regional healthcare coalitions.Healthcare coalitions are regional partnerships that work to improve ourability to meet the dramatically increased demand for medical care that isexpected during a major health emergency. Healthcare coalitions consist ofrepresentatives <strong>from</strong> public health, hospitals, tribal health clinics, healthcareproviders, emergency medical services, home health care, long-term care,mental health, MRC, and emergency management. <strong>The</strong> panel member <strong>from</strong>the Seminole tribe of Florida will discuss how the tribe has worked withlocal, state, and Federal agencies for emergency preparedness and responsebefore, during, and after any disaster. He will also discuss the relationshipthat was built with the Okeechobee Medical Reserve Corps during the H1N1pandemic. <strong>The</strong> sessions will focus on the collaboration between tribes,counties, city, and state entities with an emphasis through the work of theMRC. Audience members will be encouraged to share their challenges andsuccesses in similar efforts in their local community. <strong>The</strong> presenters willfacilitate a conversation to explore ways that tribal, county, city, and stateorganizations can work together to benefit public health preparedness andresponse.Learning Objectives:u Describe the importance of partnering between tribal, local, and statejurisdictions for public health preparedness.u Identify stragegies to jointly build resilience that will be successful forparticipants in the local community.u Examine the benefits to both tribal and local jurisdictions ofpartnership in public health preparedness.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcare executives, health educationspecialists, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, nurses,physicians, psychologists, social workersSession 43: Where the Public Is @: Or How I Learned toStop Worrying and Love Social MediaPresenter: James Garrow, MPHTime: 1300-1415 hrsRoom: Governor’s CFocus Area: Resource Management and Patient MovementCrisis communication today is a vastly different animal than it was just fiveyears ago. <strong>The</strong> average time it takes for a story to be picked up and splayedacross the media has shrunk <strong>from</strong> days to minutes. <strong>The</strong> very definitionof who is a member of the media has changed. Many government andhealthcare communicators are struggling to keep up with the changesand feeling overwhelmed by the greatly expanded demands placed ontheir office due to these “new media.” This session will feature a tour ofthe most important social media websites and allow for discussion of therelative benefits—and shortcomings—of each. Examples will be woventhroughout the session to give guidance on how, and how not to, integratesocial media into an agency’s or organization’s crisis communication plans.Special attention will be paid to satisfying those in an organization who areuncomfortable with using social media, and techniques for addressing thoseconcerns will be developed and provided. Specific considerations that willbe addressed include: policy, goals, and procedures development; precrisisand crisis messaging; tailoring messages for different audiences, especiallyvulnerable and underserved populations; opportunities to continue learningabout social media.Learning Objectives:u Describe the relative benefits and shortcomings of four social medianetworks and how each can be used before, during, and after a crisis.u Describe how to integrate social media into communications plans,policies, and procedures, with a special focus on liability concerns.u Describe two best practice examples that demonstrate how socialmedia can effectively reach and engage traditionally vulnerable andunderserved populations.session Descriptions<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit 51

However, those personnel are typicallyan afterthought in developing relationships down on the ground level,especially during military exercises. In the military there is a saying “Trainas you fight.” To actually live up to that mantra, the military must continueto foster relationships with civilian volunteers and NGOs since that is theway we would fight in military support to domestic agencies. One of thenewest developing capabilities of the National Guard to start getting somegreater public awareness are the CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package(CERFP) and Homeland Response Force (HRF). <strong>The</strong> medical capability ofthe CERFP and HRFs is certainly equivalent to the DMAT teams, which areone of the better known and capable medical response teams. However, inaddition to the DMAT teams, Medical Reserve Corps are capabilities thatwould certainly be available in a domestic crisis. Awareness alone does notbuild the relationships necessary; teams need to understand each other’scapabilities and deficiencies prior to a crisis in order to be successful. Inlocal, county, state, and national level exercises, there is always going tobe an opportunity to incorporate volunteer teams such as Medical ReserveCorps and NGOs to conduct side-by-side training. Understanding the natureof volunteer teams and organizations requires that planning be flexibleand creative with scenarios that will allow the participation of volunteerorganizations. Understanding legal limitations or requirements for bothcivilian volunteer teams and military personnel can also be used as aguideline when developing training and standard operating procedures. Inthis session we will explore the planning and implementation of a jointexercise that involved MRC/ESAR-VHP/American Red Cross and militarypartners and the lessons learned.Learning Objectives:u Explain the capabilities and limitations of National Guard firstresponders such as the CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package(CERFP).u Evaluate and refine potential best practices for integration of NationalGuard first responders and Medical Reserve Corps volunteers duringdisaster responses.u Evaluate and refine best practices for integration of National Guardfirst responders and civilian healthcare providers at the pointof impact, including triage, stabilization, and patient trackingmechanisms.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, nurses,marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, physicians, socialworkersSession 45: Mass Fatality Event: Responding to theReno Air Race TragedyPresenters: Christina Conti, MPPA; Betsy Hambleton, BA;Aaron KennestonTime: 1300-1415 hrsRoom: Delta BFocus Area: Response Integration/Operational MedicineOn September 16, 2011, the National Championship Air Races and AirShow in Reno, Nevada, quickly transformed <strong>from</strong> a renowned air showinto a horrific war scene after veteran pilot Jimmy Leeward crashed hisvintage P-51 Mustang on the tarmac just feet away <strong>from</strong> the VIP box seats.Immediately, the Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority (REMSA)personnel, along with the Reno and Airport Authority Fire Departmentsand a host of volunteers, responded to the dozens of injured spectators.Within 62 minutes REMSA had transported 54 injured people to threearea hospitals. After REMSA’s transport was completed, the secondaryphase of the tragedy began. Although the injured were being treated athospitals, the tarmac resembled a war zone, with debris and human remainsscattered across the tarmac. Not only were there nearly a dozen fatalities,but the sudden and violent nature of the deaths completely shocked thespectators, responders, and everyone else at the scene throughout the first48 hours. <strong>The</strong> Washoe County Health District (WCHD) began its responseimmediately on Friday following the crash and became more involved asthe incident unfolded. Saturday morning, when the medical examiner askedfor support recovering remains <strong>from</strong> the tarmac, the Medical Reserve Corps(MRC) provided four medical volunteers to walk the tarmac and recoverremains. Additionally, another group of MRC volunteers worked with theUnified Victim Identification System (UVIS), inputting data to help identifythe recovered remains. This assistance expedited the medical examiner’stask of making positive identifications of the victims to bring familiesresolution. Based on the severity of the situation, the decision was made toopen a family assistance center (FAC) to obtain the UVIS information andto provide resource assistance to the families of the injured and missingwho were arriving in Reno. <strong>The</strong> Washoe County Public Health EmergencyResponse Coordinator, working with the Regional Emergency OperationsCenter, set up the FAC, which was operationally ready by 11 a.m. the dayfollowing the crash. Utilizing 10 mental health volunteers <strong>from</strong> the MRCalong with volunteers <strong>from</strong> supporting agencies, the FAC served 17 familiesimpacted by the event. In total, the WCHD worked with 19 other agenciesand organizations to support the overwhelmed medical infrastructure,providing services to the medical examiner, the victims’ families, the NationalTransportation and Safety Board, and the local community.52<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

Particular emphasis will beplaced on the special human-animal bond issues associated with individualswith special physical or mental health needs who seek disaster sheltering forthemselves and their pets. Many of these evacuees had lost beloved pets inprior evacuations due to their inability to control the management of theiranimals and a lack of physical, mental, and/or monetary resources to facilitatereturn of their animals to them at the conclusion of the evacuation.This session will also include information about the most common types ofinjuries and illnesses experienced by USAR dogs during deployment. <strong>The</strong>potential for injuries and illnesses is an important concern when personnelare deployed <strong>from</strong> the United States to respond to disasters in foreigncountries, particularly because of the unique challenges that exist withrespect to environmental and endemic hazards. <strong>The</strong> only disasters for whichthere are injury and illness data for FEMA USAR dogs was the OklahomaCity bombing of April 19, 1995, and the World Trade Center disaster ofSeptember 11, 2001. Little is known of injury or illness for deploymentsoutside the United States. <strong>The</strong> recent international responses in Haiti andJapan highlighted this problem, as well as the need for standard operatingprocedures, potential human health concerns for both response personnel andmembers of the general public who may come in contact with contaminatedanimals, and the current absence of trained animal decontamination teamsable to respond at local, state, Federal, and international levels.Learning Objectives:u Apply appropriate interaction of veterinarians, medical health, mentalhealth, and other public health professionals in the postdisastermanagement of high medical risk disaster evacuees who evacuatewith their companion animals.u Identify the injuries and illnesses experienced by the USAR dogs thatdeployed to Haiti following the earthquake of January 12, 2010.u Utilize a methodical approach to determining the best disastermanagement options for special medical needs disaster evacueeswho present with companion animals to which they are particularlybonded.u Utilize the injury and illness information to guide responders in what isneeded for deployment.u Discuss current resources and procedures for animal decontaminationand what is still needed.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, morticians,nurses, marriage & family therapists, medical administrators, physicians,social workers, veterinariansSession 47: Bioterrorism and the Emerging InfectiousDisease Threat: <strong>Preparedness</strong> and Response Are CriticalPresenter: Jerry Jaax, DVMTime: 1500-1630 hrsRoom: Delta BFocus Area: Joint Session<strong>The</strong> session will provide a fast-paced overview of the bioterrorist and emerginginfectious disease threat, addressing both public heath and agriculturalvulnerabilities.

Immediate activation of a statewidehospital mutual aid agreement (MAA) enabled efficient and effectivehospital response prior to Federal declarations and state executive orders.<strong>The</strong> mutual aid agreement provided the framework for hospitals acrossMissouri to immediately respond with regional assets for communicationand medical surge while providing the structure and documentation neededfor Federal reimbursement. <strong>The</strong> tornado completely destroyed one hospital,requiring the evacuation of 183 patients within 90 minutes of impact.Emergency medical services <strong>from</strong> four states quickly responded to begintriage, treatment, and transport of patients and victims. <strong>The</strong> resulting surgeduring the next 12 hours at the neighboring hospital required treatment ofapproximately 500 patients in the emergency department; treatment andrelease of 400-600 patients in established triages; and the provision of about400 CT scans and 22 critical surgeries. <strong>The</strong> secondary location for patientand victim transport was about 75 miles away. Two acute care hospitalsin this community each received about 125 patients and victims throughvarious modes of transportation. <strong>The</strong> statewide approach to emergencypreparedness planning utilizing funds <strong>from</strong> the ASPR Hospital <strong>Preparedness</strong>Program and adopting the medical surge capability and capacity tierstructure provided the foundation for an effective response. However,despite an overall successful response, debriefings and after-action reportsidentify lessons learned and opportunities for improvement. This panelsession will focus primarily on the following lessons learned and subsequentplanning and preparedness policy changes: developing a chain-of-custodydocumentation system to accompany any resources provided through theMAA; developing a process, separate <strong>from</strong> technology and tools, to tag andtrack patients in a mass casualty event; procedures need to be developed fora back-up plan for receiving hospitals to initiate patient tracking to supportthe efforts of impacted hospitals; continuing to refine redundant systems for54<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

All of these issues have an effect on the surge abilityof a healthcare facility. While every healthcare facility needs to be able toincrease capacity quickly, the ability to do so is rarely quantified. <strong>The</strong> JointCommission requires hospitals to periodically conduct disaster drills, butthese events are usually scheduled and often highly choreographed. Thispreparation can provide a falsely reassuring view of surge capacity. As a result,healthcare organizations may be caught off guard during true emergencieswhen readily foreseeable bottlenecks compromise their ability to managea sudden influx of patients. To fill this gap, HHS/ASPR is collaborating withRAND Health to develop a no-notice assessment tool (including a scenarioand performance metrics) that hospitals and healthcare coalitions can useto assess their operational capability to surge in response to a mass casualtyincident. <strong>The</strong> overall goal is to create a simple and inexpensive assessmentthat can be used by a wide variety of hospitals on a regular basis to identifyoperational challenges and spur improvement. This session will present anoverview of the assessment tool, including its intent and key features, andprovide participants the opportunity to offer feedback to HHS on the design,use, and possible expansion of the tool.Learning Objectives:u Describe the challenges of measuring surge at the healthcareorganization level.u Discuss and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of a no-noticesurge assessment.u Construct improvements to the current draft of a hospital surgestress test.Intended Audience: Emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, medical administrators, nurses,physicians, respiratory therapistsSession 52: Leadership: When It Counts the MostPresenter: CAPT Mark Libby, MSN, ARNPTime: 0830-0945 hrsRoom: Delta CFocus Area: LeadershipYou’ve been tapped to lead an urgent, large-scale disaster response to ahard-hit community across the country–or across the world. <strong>The</strong> missionis difficult; the consequences are high. You have just a few hours to turnhundreds of team members into an effective and cohesive high-speedorganization. Where do you start? This session will discuss strategies usedby ASPR regional emergency coordinators who lead the Federal medicalresponse in the field. How to “stand up” a command element, how to createand share a leadership presence and vision will also be discussed. Thissession will explore how to establish a shared mission culture that projectsintegrity, confidence, and competence and will look at the importantdifference between talking and doing in leaders who have the courage toact decisively. Finally, we will discuss the concept of “servant leadership”and how it empowers team commanders and responders to create the bestpossible outcomes for those in their care while still caring for their ownresponders.Learning Objectives:u Explain the differences between coordination, management,command, and leadership. What is the right approach to direct,motivate, or inspire?u Discuss how to lead when you’re not in charge.u Explore tools and techniques to coordinate leadership efforts acrossthe theater of operation and encourage leadership at all levels.u Discuss how to recover <strong>from</strong> challenges and setbacks, and how tocelebrate successes.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,respiratory therapists, social workers, veterinariansSession 53: Emergency Management DilemmaPresenter: CAPT Kenneth Harman, MDTime: 0830-0945 hrsRoom: Delta DFocus Area: LeadershipThis session will view emergency and disaster preparedness, response, andrecovery <strong>from</strong> a leadership perspective.

Prior planning had identified the Opryland complex as a “not atrisk” location and a potential resource for the community. However, this wasnot the case and local, large-scale response challenges emerged. “Five FeetHigh and Rising” is a Johnny Cash song about flooding and the progressionof increased intensity. <strong>The</strong> Opryland Hotel needed to move 1500 guests toanother area and ensure their safety. This session will focus on the dynamicdecisions and the strategic response of the Gaylord Opryland staff. Beyondthe response, new ideas and planning concepts have been implementedbased on this firsthand experience.Learning Objectives:u Discuss the Gaylord Opryland response to the 2010 flood, both beforeand after the disaster.u Describe the lessons learned for evacuating a large hotel.56u Review the business end of hazard and risk mitigation.u Discuss the necessity of new local partnerships in large-scale disasters.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,social workers, veterinariansSession 55: U.S. EPA: A National to Local Look atHow Emergency Response and Cleanup Activities AreConductedPresenter: Steve Spurlin, BSTime: 0830-0945 hrsRoom: Bayou ABFocus Area: Public Health<strong>The</strong> U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mission is to respond toimmediate threats <strong>from</strong> releases of hazardous substances and oil. <strong>The</strong> firstpriority is to eliminate any danger to the public. By the end of 2007, EPA hadconducted over 9,400 removal actions at more than 6,900 sites. Over thelast 40 years, the nature of the contaminants, the number of responses bypotentially responsible parties, and the capacity and capability of states havevaried. Each of EPA’s 10 regional offices has developed a strong emergencyresponse and removal program, tailored to work with and complement thevarying capabilities of local and state agencies for responding to the typesof oil and hazardous substances releases that occur in its region. Each EPAregion deals with a unique mix of industries, geography, and state and localresponse agencies. Still, the program acts as a Federal safety net to allow forresponse to immediate threats when such response is necessary (e.g., whenthe nature, size, or complexity of a spill is beyond the capacity or capabilitiesof the state or local responders). Each year, more than 20,000 emergenciesinvolving the release (or threatened release) of oil and hazardous substancesare reported in the United States, potentially affecting both communitiesand the surrounding natural environment. Emergencies range <strong>from</strong> smallscalespills to large events requiring prompt action and evacuation of nearbypopulations. EPA coordinates and implements a wide range of activities toensure that adequate and timely response measures are taken in communitiesaffected by hazardous substances and oil releases where state and localfirst responder capabilities have been exceeded or where additional supportis needed. EPA’s emergency response program responds to chemical, oil,biological, and radiological releases and large-scale national emergencies,including homeland security incidents. EPA conducts time-critical and nontime-criticalremoval actions when necessary to protect human health andthe environment by either funding response actions directly or overseeingand enforcing actions conducted by potentially responsible parties. <strong>The</strong>Stafford Act (PL-93-288) provides the authority for the Federal governmentto respond to disasters and emergencies in order to provide assistance tosave lives and protect public health, safety, and property.Learning Objectives:u Explain how EPA works with state, local, and tribal governments,along with other Federal agencies, who play a critical role inpreventing, preparing for, and responding to emergencies of all kinds.<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit

Whilethe ESF architecture used in the United States and Canada is similar, thereare significant and important variations between the two countries wherethe delivery of public health, medical, and human services is concerned. InCanada, the Public Health Agency of Canada is assigned the lead for ESF-5 ofthe Federal Emergency Response Plan, “Public Health and Essential HumanServices.” In the U.S. National Response Framework, the Department of Healthand Human Services is assigned as the ESF coordinator as well as the primaryagency for ESF#8, “Public Health and Medical Services.” In this session, thetwo complementary ESFs will be compared and contrasted to provide ananalysis of the similarities and differences regarding their scope, conceptsof operations, and delivery arrangements, and the session will also highlightany perceived gaps in emergency planning in the public health and medicalfields. Participants at this session will gain a better understanding of the ESFconcepts in both countries, as well as learn how the two ESFs are expected tointeract during a cross-border emergency where public health, medical, andhuman services are involved. In addition, both countries are in the beginningstages of working out the details of how both medical personnel and medicalcountermeasures could be shared with the other country.

Dr. Isaac Ashkenazi of the Harvard School of Public Healthhas drawn lessons about training professional responders <strong>from</strong> the recentdisasters, including physicians, nurses, EMT/paramedics, pharmacists, dentists,environmental health personnel, and other allied healthcare professionals.He discusses the limits of government preparedness and the inclusion ofordinary citizens in preparedness planning for disasters. In developingtraining for professional responders, leaders must understand that mistakeswill be made and that they should ensure that the lessons of those mistakesare shared so others can learn <strong>from</strong> them. In an environment demandingperfection, where mistakes are forbidden, mistakes get hidden, and the resultis a culture of blame, not learning. Dr. Ashkenazi’s research has focused onurban terrorism and the increasingly complex role of governmental disasterresponse in foreign crisis situations, such as Haiti’s devastating earthquakeand the Japanese tsunami and earthquake. This session will review his recentresearch, including “Disaster Response: A Decade of Lessons Learned Post9/11” and the speaker’s personal experience of key lessons learned, includingstrategies for future U.S. international engagement.Learning objectives:u Discuss the complexities of international disaster response.u Differentiate the roles of citizens, government-trained responders, andnongovernmental or private sector actors.u Explain general lessons learned and their application for improvedUSG international response.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergencyphysicians, EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcareexecutives, health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage &family therapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians,psychologists, respiratory therapists, social workers, veterinarians58<strong>2012</strong> Integrated Training Summit
