Enhancing Disaster Response with EMAC: Mission Ready Packages and Building Inspector Resources

The Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) provides a streamlined system for states to assist each other during disasters. This overview covers the Mission Ready Packages (MRP) that enhance response and recovery capabilities, detailing the phases of the EMAC process and the role of building inspectors. Established to ensure effective resource allocation and mutual aid, the program focuses on pre-event preparation, activation, and reimbursement. It also emphasizes training, collaboration, and a swift response to facilitate disaster relief across states.

  1. Overview • Background • Mission Ready Packages • Building Inspector MRP Development • Mutual-Aid Support System

  2. CAPSTONE-14 Background • June 16-20, 2014 • Regional Focus • Communications • Situational Awareness • Private Sector • Transportation • Resource Allocation • Civilian Authority Support

  3. What is EMAC System that allows States to help each other during a disaster… “EMAC offers assistance during governor-declared states of emergency through a responsive, straightforward system that allows states to send personnel, equipment, and commodities to help disaster relief efforts in other states. “ www.emacweb.org

  4. The EMAC Process PRE-EVENT PREPARATION • The EMAC Process: • begins before emergency occurs • comprises five distinctive phases • involves states affected by an emergency as well as states assisting them • ends when Requesting State reimburses Assisting State ACTIVATION REQUEST & OFFER RESPONSE REIMBURSEMENT Courtesy National Emergency Management Agency

  5. Mission Ready Packages (MRP) • Specific response and recovery capabilities • Organized, developed, trained & exercised prior to an emergency • Based on NIMS Resource Typing • Developed in cooperation with Resource Providers • Speed – Faster Response • Reimbursement - Reduce Issues Image: National Emergency Management Association

  6. Equipment Personnel Commodities • Dump truck • Articulating rubber-tired loader • GPA Units • Chain saws • Cameras • Costs • Positions or names with contact information • Salaries/fringe benefits • Fuel • Spare chains, bars, oils, files • Costs • Personal protective gear Example: Debris Removal Support Package Other Costs Food Travel/Lodging • Decontamination • Maps of disaster area • Equipment rehabilitation • Costs • Per diem rates • Receipt estimates • Per diem rates • Receipt estimates • Airfare • Mileage • Costs Courtesy: Kentucky Emergency Management

  12. Common Building Inspector EMAC Considerations • Liability / Workers Compensation • Deployment Limitations • Scope of deployment • Level of training • Functions described by mission order • Home State rule for licensure

  13. Why are we working on Deployable Building Inspector Resources? • To develop EMAC based/resource-typed building inspection teams • To provide an “all-hazards”, national resource • To identify earthquake mitigation priorities through building inventory and evaluation • To provide potential building inspectors training and practical experience All will be tested and validated in

  14. Mutual Aid Support System (MASS) • GIS software that focuses on Mission Ready Packaging for mutual aid (Intrastate & EMAC) • MASS integrates with current EM resource management software (flexible) • Resource providers control who can see resource inventory Finding deployable resources on a map…
