Army Emergency Management Program - Federation of American ...

evacuation involving more than 50 percent of population, earthquake, tsunami warning, tornados, expected landfall of
hurricanes (within 24 hours or less), sudden onset terrorism incident, moderate- to large-scale hazardous materials spill/
release involving mutual aid or environmental spill response, all nuclear-related incidents, confirmed biological incident
(terrorism or natural causes), wide-scale power blackouts, and similar incidents.
k. Installation emergency operations center design. All installations shall have an installation EOC, but the physical
requirements in terms of capabilities and capacity are determined by installation type designation. The physical size,
layout, and equipping of each installation EOC will depend on the installation type, resources and budget available, and
anticipated incident management workload. Installation typing guidance will be developed by DAMO–ODP in coordination
with the appropriate technical agencies. Type I installation EOC design shall incorporate unified facilities
criteria (UFC) 4–141–04. ARNG State EOC requirements will be established by ARNG headquarters in coordination
with the appropriate technical agencies and DAMO–ODP.
l. Alternate and/or secondary installation emergency operations center. An alternate or secondary EOC should be
identified and maintained by all installations per UFC 4–141–04. The physical location, size, layout, and capabilities
will depend on the installation type, resources, and budget available, and anticipated incident management workload.
Installation typing guidance will be developed by DAMO–ODP in coordination with the appropriate technical agencies.
m. Installation emergency operations center capabilities. Core capabilities of every installation EOC are identified
below. The actual layout and brands/types of capabilities provided to each position, section, or EOC as a whole will
depend on the installation type, resources and budget available, and anticipated incident management workload. Under
DOD Resource Management Directive (RMD) 700, DAMO–ODP has been resourced to establish requirements for
select capabilities and manage the procurement, fielding, and sustainment of these capabilities at select installations. All
computer-based programs shall be coordinated prior to procurement, fielding, or installation with the coordinating NEC
functional area. See chapter 14 for associated equipment procurement, fielding, maintenance, and sustainment guidance.
Detailed guidance on procurement, fielding, user training, information sharing rules, maintenance, and sustainment
of the following capabilities will be provided by DAMO–ODP in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of the
Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (ASA (ALT)).
(1) Event log. All installations shall have the capability to maintain an event log, which records all significant events
throughout a given incident. At a minimum, these events must include all actions related to:
Activation, of C3 capabilities.
Strategic and tactical objectives by OP.
All incident reporting activities.
All warnings to the protected populace.
All orders to evacuate, SIP, move to safe haven, or move to civilian shelters.
All EPI efforts.
All requests for installation disaster declaration.
Status of local, State, and Presidential Disaster Declarations.
All support agreement and support contract activations.
All resource management activities.
All personnel accountability reports.
All receipt of relevant hazard-specific information.
All predictive modeling results.
Number and types of casualties and fatalities.
Status and analysis of rapid needs assessment.
Status and analysis of initial (and follow-on) damage assessments.
Status and analysis on recovery programs (human services, infrastructure).
(2) Chat capabilities. All installation EOCs shall support unclassified and/or classified chat capabilities as directed
by their higher headquarters.
(3) Emergency communications. All installation EOCs shall develop, maintain, and manage emergency communications
and an associated emergency communications SOP for all multi-agency and/or multi-jurisdictional emergencies.
SOPs may be aligned to positions, functions, or hazards at the discretion of the installation commander. The goal of
emergency communications is to provide the installation EOC team with the capability for timely and reliable
communications with the ICP, installation dispatch center, supporting JIC, supporting MTF, all supporting evacuation
and mass care teams, and all other associated activities on the installation as well as pre-identified response and
recovery partners in the Federal, State, Tribal, other Service, local, and/or private (or Host Nation) communities.
Emergency communications planning includes all mass warning and notification systems and procedures as well as
addressing recording needs and capabilities at the installation dispatch center and the installation EOC, at a minimum.
To the extent possible within the fiscal and resource constraints present at Army installations, these emergency
communications should be interoperable in terms of language (NIMS), procedures, and equipment.
(4) Common operating picture. All installation EOCs shall develop, maintain, and manage a COP for every multiagency
and/or multijurisdictional emergency. The main goal of a COP is to provide consistent, standardized, and geo-
