and building code requirements for rebuilding in high-hazard areas; floodplain buyouts; and analyses of hazard-related data to determine where it is safe to build in normal times, to open shelters in emergencies, or to locate temporary housing during the recovery phase. Mitigation activities also include educating businesses and the public on simple measures they can take to reduce loss and injury, like fastening bookshelves, water heaters, and file cabinets to walls to keep them from falling during earthquakes. Cost-effective mitigation measures are the key to sustaining operations in the short term and reducing losses in the long term. In hazard prone areas, mitigation can break the cycle of having to rebuild and rebuild again with every recurrence of floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes. Where there is a willingness to mitigate, opportunities can be found. Ongoing efforts might include: educating the private sector about what it can do to mitigate at home and at work; reaching out to planning, zoning, and development agencies to ensure that hazard conditions are considered in comprehensive plans, construction permits, building codes, and design approvals; and creating inventories of existing structures and their vulnerabilities to identified hazards to aid in mitigation planning. There is also a need for planning to take advantage of mitigation opportunities during the recovery phase, when hazard awareness is high, funds may become available (with associated requirements for mitigation), and disruption of the status quo makes it possible to rethink design and location of some facilities and infrastructure. Attention to mitigation opportunities can make safer, more resilient communities for the Army. Within the Army, mitigation activities are often led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Directorate of Public Works (DPW), and Network Enterprise Center (NEC). d. Prevention (see chap 17). Prevention includes those activities, tasks, programs, and systems intended to avoid or intervene in order to stop an incident from occurring. Prevention can apply both to human-caused incidents (such as terrorism, vandalism, sabotage, or human error) as well as to naturally occurring incidents. Prevention of human-caused incidents can include applying intelligence and other information to a range of activities that includes such countermeasures as deterrence operations, heightened inspections, improved surveillance and security operations, public health and agricultural surveillance, immunizations, isolation, quarantine, investigations to determine the nature and source of the threat, and law enforcement operations directed at deterrence, preemption, interdiction, or disruption. Within the Army, prevention activities are led by the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES); Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization, and Security (DPTMS); the Antiterrorism (AT) Program; and for force health protection (FHP) issues, the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM). e. Response (see chap 18). Response includes those immediate and ongoing activities, tasks, programs, and systems to manage the effects of an incident that threatens life, property, operations, or the environment. The onset of an emergency creates a need for time-sensitive actions to save lives and property as well as for action to begin stabilizing the situation so that the installation can quickly recover mission capability. Such response operations include notifying continuity and responder personnel of the emergency, warning the protected populace, conducting Shelter-in-Place (SIP) operations, managing the evacuation and mass care of the displaced population, keeping the protected populace informed, rescuing individuals and providing emergency medical treatment, maintaining the rule of law, assessing damage, and coordinating with external partners for limited response resources. f. Recovery (see chap 19). Recovery includes those activities and programs designed to return conditions to a level that is acceptable to the jurisdiction. These activities include efforts to restore essential operations and services and restore normalcy for the protected populace. Recovery operations focus on the social, economic, and infrastructure restoration necessary to return the community to normal operations and includes long-term mitigation activities for all hazards. For the short term, recovery may mean bringing necessary lifeline systems (for example, power, communication, water and sewage, and transportation) up to an acceptable standard while providing for basic human needs (for example, food, clothing, and shelter) and ensuring that the societal needs of individuals and the community are met (for example, maintain the rule of law, provide crisis counseling, demonstrate that people do care, and that help is becoming available). Once stability is achieved, the installation can begin recovery efforts for the long term by restoring all operations and services and rebuilding facilities and housing with attention to long-term mitigation needs. 1–13. Operational environment a. Geographic environment. Army installations support operational forces in domestic and foreign environments. The particular location of the installation is critical in determining the laws or regulations that must be applied, as well as the level of military authority the installation commander may have during response and recovery operations, to include the level of personal protection for the responders. (1) Domestic locations. Per DODI 2000.21, the following geographical areas are considered domestic locations: the continental United States; Alaska; Hawaii; the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; the U.S. Virgin Islands; the U.S. territories of Guam, American Samoa, Jarvis Island, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, the Freely Associated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands; and the U.S. possessions of Wake Island, Midway Island, Johnson Island, Baker Island, Howland Island, Palmyra Atoll, and Kingman Reef. (2) Foreign locations. Per DODI 2000.21, any geographic area not reflected in the definition of domestic locations (see above) is defined as a foreign location. For the purposes of this publication, the term overseas refers solely to foreign locations. (3) Geographically remote locations. Installations may be further defined by their location relative to local civil 4 DA PAM 525–27 20 September 2012
jurisdictions and supporting resource providers. Remote installation is a term used to define an installation, which due to its remote location in relation to other U.S. or host nation response assets, may require additional capability to adequately respond to and recover from an emergency. In some cases, this remote nature may actually decrease the risk of specific incidents occurring, but in most cases this remote nature increases the time that the installation (or region) may have to survive independently of outside assistance, especially qualified assistance trained to equivalent standards. In these cases of remote installations, additional EM capabilities may be required in order to ensure successful response and recovery operations. (4) Area of operations. The EM program must encompass the assigned area of operations (AO) and the associated areas of interest. The AO establishes the boundaries within which the installation commander operates (jurisdiction) and for which the installation commander is responsible for sustaining critical operations, protection of assigned personnel, restoring, and/or maintaining essential operations and/or services. The area of interest represents the environment external to the AO for which the installation commander must maintain situational awareness and may include surrounding communities and civil authorities with whom the installation commander establishes support agreements or contracts for coordinated preparedness, mitigation, prevention, response, and recovery operations. b. Installation environment. The installation environment is complex and varies depending upon geographic location, time of year, and geopolitical situation. (1) Physical environment. Key components of the physical environment include terrain and weather and their effects as well as the geographic framework that influences the installation commander’s plan and ability to exercise their authority. Physical conditions determine specific requirements for response and recovery operations in terms of areaspecific organization, training, equipping, and exercising personnel as well as driving mitigation and prevention requirements. (a) Terrain. Topography, soil and surface types, and maritime environment directly impact the EM program across all phases. These terrain factors may indicate the presence of specific natural hazards (for example, volcanoes, earthquakes, and wildfires). Terrain conditions may determine specific requirements for transportation and mobility as well as specific material requirements (for example, fire and emergency services brush-fire apparatus and filtration for air intakes for volcanic ash). Additional mitigation requirements (for example, floodplain mitigation) and prevention requirements (for example, waterborne barriers or specific immunizations for area-specific diseases) may be required based upon the terrain conditions. (b) Meteorological. Precipitation, winds, air stability, humidity, and temperature are among those meteorological factors that impact the EM program across all phases. These meteorological factors may indicate the seasonal or continual presence of specific natural hazards (for example, tornados, winter storms, extreme heat, tropical cyclones, and so forth). Meteorological conditions may determine specific requirements for transportation and mobility, including evacuation and mutual aid timelines, as well as, specific material requirements (for example, swift water rescue capabilities). Additional mitigation requirements (for example, floodplain mitigation) and prevention requirements (for example, heat stress monitoring) may be required based upon the meteorological conditions. (c) Technological. The technological infrastructure and operations present on and around the jurisdiction directly impact the EM program across all phases. These technological conditions may include the transit, storage, manufacture, or use of hazardous materials (HAZMAT); sources of ignition for available fuel loads; potential for aviation, maritime, or land transport accidents; increased reliance on cyber and electronic systems for daily operations; distributed financial management and distribution systems; and additional sources of environmental pollution or contamination. These technological factors may indicate the presence of specific technological hazards (for example, structural collapse, transportation accidents, HAZMAT release, and so forth). Technological conditions may determine specific requirements for transportation and mobility, including evacuation and mutual aid timelines, as well as, specific material requirements (for example, structural collapse rescue capabilities). Additional mitigation requirements (for example, infrastructure mitigation efforts) and prevention requirements (for example, rail system screening) may be required based upon the technological conditions. (2) Political environment. Jurisdictional authority, established agreements and contracts, impact of continuous media interaction, and local customs are among the important political, legal, and cultural issues for the installation commander. Installation commanders must consider cultural, ethnic, and religious attitudes and behaviors that may impact operations. The political environment often impacts decisions to develop, approve, and honor support agreements between jurisdictions, especially in large-scale emergencies with the potential to impact another jurisdiction’s populace. (3) Social environment. Installations have varying degrees of social environments confined within a small jurisdictional area. These environments range from long-term residents in Family housing to short-term student populations and large special event crowds from the local civil jurisdictions as well as cohesive combatant units either stationed on post or transiting the installation for training and exercises. The typical majority of the social environment on Army installations tends towards younger generations, including both the family residents and the Soldiers in uniform. This social environment usually extends into the local civil jurisdictions with potentially large components of the Army community residing outside the installation commander’s jurisdictional boundaries. The social environment often includes foreign nationals, to include Allied and Coalition partners, and third-country nationals with varying degrees of English proficiency and varying social norms.
