  1. The InterAgency Board Improving all-hazards response for all disciplines April 30, 2014

  2. IAB Speakers • Gregory Noll – State & Local Co-chair, IAB Training & Exercise SubGroup • Program Manager, South Central (PA) Regional Task Force • Chair – NFPA Technical Committee on HazMat / WMD Emergency Response • Wayne Yoder – Past Federal Co-chair, IAB Training & Exercise SubGroup • Chair, USFA / NFA Hazardous Materials Program

  3. What is the IAB? • Multi-disciplinary volunteer working group of emergency preparedness and response practitioners. • Trusted, authoritative, representative, and valid repository of operational knowledge, technical expertise, and “feet on the street” field perspective. • A unified voice for the responder community.

  4. Where did it come from? • Sanctioned in 1998 by the U.S. Attorney General as a resource for federal, state, and local levels of government. • Founded by the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice FBI WMD Countermeasures Unit. • Evolved from WMD focus to “all-hazards” incident response, with a continuing special emphasis on CBRNE issues.

  5. “To strengthen the nation’s ability to prepare for and respond safely and effectively to emergencies, disasters, and CBRNE incidents. The IAB will accomplish this by: Emphasizing interoperability, compatibility, and standardization Fostering a multi-disciplinary perspective Facilitating effective intergovernmental partnerships Being a credible voice of the responder community Being proactive Sharing field operational experiences and practices” The IAB Mission

  6. 125+ Members, 60+ Subject Matter Experts Representing: 30 states Local, State, and Federal agencies Federal research facilities, responder associations, and standards development organizations Disciplines and Expertise Includes: Fire Service, Law Enforcement, Medical/Health, Emergency Management, Military, Emergency Communications, Agriculture, Public Works, etc. IAB Membership

  7. IAB Demographics: Responder Disciplines *Other includes: Incident Management and Veterinary

  8. IAB Demographics: Areas of Expertise *Others include: Communications, Search & Rescue, Tactical Operations, Structural Collapse Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, Pre-hospital Emergency Medical Care, Criminal Investigations, Clandestine Laboratory Response, Nuclear Materials, Public Health, and Force Protection

  9. IAB Committees & SubGroups • Chair & Deputy Chairs are state/local representatives • Each SubGroup chaired by a federal and state/local representative

  10. Training & Exercise SubGroup • Mission: Improve responder performance by conducting a cross-disciplinary review of, and providing end user input on, training and exercise doctrine, standards, and guidance developed specifically for the responder community. • Roles: Serve as an advocate for emergency preparedness community to identify needs or requirements related to ESF’s that could be addressed through T&E initiatives. • Advocate for standardized national guidance of responder and equipment T&E programs.

  11. Training & Exercise SubGroup • Collaborate with stakeholders to provide end-user guidance and operational lessons learned to support T&E program development and improvements. • Facilitate implementing T&E programs and standards that support the development of individual competencies and organizational capabilities.

  12. Training & Exercise Membership Members & SME’s • Fire / Hazmat / Rescue • Law Enforcement / IACP • EMS • EMA (State & Local) • Public Health • NIOSH • FBI – Tech Hazards • NIOSH / NPPTL • NIH / NIEHS • DHS / FEMA, DNDO • DOD / TSWG - CTTO • DOD / NGB • USCG

  13. 2013 Training & Exercise Initiatives • Developing training requirements to support AEL / SEL – Core, Initial & Sustainment training • Modeling and Simulation Selection Tool • Bio-Sampling Training Gap Analyses • Input on DHS S&T First Responder Simulation Tool • Input to NGB CBRN Response Enterprise on HRF T&E

  14. 2014 Training & Exercise Initiatives • Operation Jack Rabbit training and lessons learned support materials • Training Triggers Project – process and trigger points by which incident / exercise lessons learned can be leveraged to identify gaps • Continued refinement of the modeling, simulations and simulators e-tool. • Broaden the reach of the FEMA Joint Counter Terrorism Awareness Workshop (JCTAWS) series.

  15. The Federal Agency Coordinating Committee (FACC) • Interface between the IAB and the sponsoring Federal government agencies. • Coordinates the interests and initiatives of the federal and first response communities. • Provides funding support for the IAB to operate.

  16. FACC Members • Department of Defense • JPEO for Chemical and Biological Defense • JPEO for Chemical and Biological Defense, Joint Project Manager Guardian • Homeland Defense and Americas’ Security Affairs • Department of Homeland Security • FEMA CBRNE Office • FEMA, Grant Programs Directorate • FEMA, National Preparedness Directorate • National Programs and Protection Directorate, Office of Infrastructure Protection

  18. Standardized Equipment List (SEL) • A generic, minimum list of equipment and supplies recommended by the IAB to local, tribal, state, and federal government organizations preparing for and responding to major all-hazards incidents • Available on interactive CD-ROM and online at www.iab.gov • Revised continuously, published annually

  19. What makes the SEL unique? • No specific products or manufacturers • Nationally vetted and established guideline • Practical guidance, including desirable features, operating considerations, and training requirements • Validated and continuously updated by responders from multiple disciplines • Aligned with the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) published by DHS FEMA GPD

  20. AEL versus. SEL: Mission AEL • Owned by FEMA GPD • Used as guideline for determining allowability on major grant programs • Shares numbering system with SEL to facilitate cross-referencing on common items SEL • Owned by IAB • Recommendations for types of equipment needed for response to WMD or major all-hazards incident, whether allowable under grants or not

  21. AEL versus. SEL: Content AEL • Item Number • Title • Description Approximately 80% congruent SEL • Item Number • Title • Description • Desirable Features • Operating Considerations • Applicable Standards • Training Requirements • Mission-Specific Sublists • RKB Example Products

  22. Where can I find the SEL? • Ready Navy website: www.iab.gov • Request CD-ROM/USB Thumb Drive by mail • Download complete PDF or specific section(s) • Use online interactive version, which includes new Mission-Specific Sublists (Master Copy, latest updates)

  23.
