  1. Recovery/Resilience Program: Path ForwardIBRD to I-CBR-RD

    Presented By: Steven Merritt On-Scene Coordinator U.S. EPA Region 8 Emergency Response Unit 303.312.6146 merritt.steven@epa.gov On Behalf Of: Chris RussellProgram Manager R&D BranchChemical and Biological Division 202.254.5876 christopher.e.russell@dhs.gov
  2. Interagency Biological Restoration Demonstration (IBRD) (Wide Area Restoration) Goal: Working with interagency including state & local, reduce time and resources required to recover and restore wide urban areas, military installations, and other critical infrastructures following a biological incident Objectives: Study social, economic & operational interdependencies Establish civilian and military coordination Develop guidance and decision frameworks Identify & demonstrate technologies that support remediation operations Exercise activities & available technology solutions DOD (DTRA) & DHS (S&T) co-sponsored program Coordination & partnership with the Seattle, WA region
  3. RESPONSE AND RECOVERY ACTIVITIES (CRISIS MANAGEMENT) (CONSEQUENCE MANAGEMENT) Notification First Response Remediation/Cleanup Restoration (Recovery) Characterization Decontamination Clearance Receive information on biological Incident Identification of suspect release sites Notification of appropriate agencies Initial threat assessment HAZMAT and emergency actions Forensic investigation Public health actions Screening sampling Determination of agent type, concentration, and viability Risk communication characterization of biological agent Characterization of affected site Site containment Continue risk communication Characterization environmental sampling and analysis Initial risk assessment Clearance goals Decontamination strategy Remediation Action Plan Worker health and safety Site preparation Source reduction Waste disposal Decontamination of sites or items Decontamination verification Clearance environmental sampling and analysis Clearance decision Renovation Reoccupation decision Long-term environmental and public health monitoring IBRD Scope Response and Recovery Actions (specific to Biologicals) As defined by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) 3
  4. IBRD Executive Summary The objective of the Interagency Biological Restoration Demonstration (IBRD) Project is to provide guidance, procedures, and capabilities to restore large urban areas with co-located military facilities to operational status following the widespread release of a biological agent. The project consists of four separate efforts providing recovery and remediation methods and approaches from multiple levels. Task 1: Front-End Systems Engineering Study and Gap Analysis to establish a body of knowledge for national, state and local restoration capabilities Task 2: Wide-Area Restoration Framework Development of guidance to address civilian & military needs and capabilities for recovery and restoration actions Task 3: Recovery & Restoration Process methods, procedures, and technology development Task 4: Workshops, Exercises, and Demonstrations - Plan and conduct a series of workshops, exercises, and demonstrations coordinating military & civilian community interoperability and practical application of technology and concepts of operation
  5. Snohomish County Program Coordination DHS & DOD equally Planning, funding & managing Many levels of government participating (including private sector): Federal: DHS, DOD, EPA, DHHS, FEMA, US Coast Guard (District 13) State of Washington: Military Department & Homeland Security, Public Health, Emergency Management, State-wide regulatory agencies Regional: Seattle Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), Ports of Seattle & Tacoma Local: Snohomish County, King County, and Pierce County; Seattle/King County Public Health; Pierce County Public Health, Seattle Police and Fire Department, Bellevue Fire & Rescue Urban: City of Seattle, City of Bellevue Military Installations: Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Madigan Army Medical Center Private sector: Pacific North West Economic Region (PNWER), Building Owner and Managers Association (BOMA)
  6. Major Technical Accomplishments System Analysis Completed and report distributed Functional analysis conducted on identified gaps Results compared and aligned with other national efforts Consequence Management Guidance Prioritization strategy drafted Decision framework expanded to a tactical guide Biological Restoration Analysis Tool developed Science and Technology efforts Sampling efficiencies and throughput Decontamination technologies evaluation Agent Fate studies (Btk, Seattle and NCR) Workshops/Exercises Workshops/Symposiums (Anthrax, Media, Roles, & Community resiliency) Focus groups (Public Health, Information Officers, Fire/Police responders).
  7. IBRD Program Path Forward IBRD becomes I-CBR-RD (DNDO will be integral to the R&D Team, we are already working on the C in R&D) Major Federal Players: DHS (FEMA, OHA, S&T, IP), DOE, HHS-CDC, EPA and DoD State, Regional and Local Partners: TBD by Denver UASI Test and evaluate transportability of Consequence Management Guidance, tools and solution sets Further explore the interdependencies between DoD, Public Health and the Socio-Economic areas Focus on Transition
  8. I-CBR-RD Draft Objectives Goal: Working with interagency partners; including state, regional & local, to reduce time and resources required to recover and restore wide urban areas, military installations, and other critical infrastructures following a CBR incident Objectives: Enhance civilian, military and private industry coordination Develop/refine guidance and decision frameworks Identify & demonstrate technologies that support operations Exercise activities & available technology solutions Additional Denver UASI Objectives
  9. Current Situation and Path Forward IBRD Capstone Exhibition in Seattle, Washington on September 21-23, 2010 Announcement made at IBRD Capstone about intent to take next phase of IBRD to Denver, Colorado On October 21, 2010, DHS Briefed Denver UASI on I-CBR-RD Concept Denver UASI agreed to participate in I-CBR-RD DHS and Denver UASI planning I-CBR-RD Kickoff Meeting in December 2010 Expect project to commence in January 2011 and last between two and three years
