    Incident Priorities CHR

    Emergency management

    establishes objectives

    throughout the incident,

    based on the following priorities:

    #1: Life Safety

    #2: Incident Stabilization

    #3:Property Preservation

    (Ex: Critical Infrastructure)

    To acknowledge cultural and historicresources fall below these on the

    priority list. To prepare for the possible incidents

    that exceed institutional capabilitiesand resources.

    To assist our institutions and thegreater CHR community by

    leveraging all our capabilities andresources.

    To collaborate with emergencymanagement officials to influencemitigation, response, and recoveryefforts.

    Why go beyond institutional preparedness?

    (Williams , et al, 2013. Colorados)(Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2010, IS 703.a)

    Discussion: Beyond Institutional Preparedness

    Is there a task force in your state?

    Are you planning for the probable or the possible?

    What is the possible scenario where your institution would exceed itsresources? Hurricane? Fire?

    Do you have existing phone call relationships beyond your institution

    within the CHR or EM communities?

    If not, who could you potentially establish a phone call relationshipwith?

    Interoperability

    The ability of the whole community

    to interact and work well together.

    The ability of emergency management/responsepersonnelto interact and work well together.

    (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2010, IS 700.A)

    Whole Community Approach

    A government-centric approach to emergencymanagement is not enough to meet the challengesposed by a catastrophic incident.

    Understand and meet the actual needs of the whole

    community Engage and empower all parts of the community.

    Requires all members of the community to bepart of the emergency management team

    Empowered to identify its needs and the existingresources that may be used to address them.

    Strengthen what works well in communities on adaily basis.

    Strengthen the institutions, assets, and networksthat already work well in communities

    Prevention.Prevent, avoid or stop an imminent,threatened or actual act of terrorism.

    Protection. Protect our citizens, residents, visitors,and assets against the greatest threats and hazards ina manner that allows our interests, aspirations, andway of life to thrive.

    Mitigation.Reduce the loss of life and property bylessening the impact of future disasters.

    Response.Respond quickly to save lives, protectproperty and the environment, and meet basichuman needs in the aftermath of a catastrophicincident.

    Discussion: Disaster Cycle

    Mitigation.What actions have been taken or could be taken atcultural heritage institutions to lessen the impact of future disastersand reduce the loss of life and property?

    Response.What actions have been taken or could be taken at culturalheritage institutions to respond quickly to disasters?

    Recovery. What actions have been taken or could be taken at cultural

    heritage institutions to be able to recover in a timely manner afterbeing affected by a catastrophic incident?

    Coordination: Systems & Structure

    Local & State Emergency OperationsCenters (EOCs) provide support for anincident

    Organized into Emergency SupportFunctions (ESFs) with a designated lead

    agency and supporting agencies Cultural & Historic Resources typically

    fall under ESF #11 Agricultural & NaturalResources with a department ofagriculture as the lead agency

    Policy document is a State EmergencyOperations Plan (EOP)

    Annexes Create sub ESFs such as ESF#11d in Colorado for Cultural & HistoricResources

    Discussion: Response Phase

    What are some examples of lingo in the CHR community that could beconfusing? How can we explain these terms in plain language?

    What are some examples of strike teams, task forces, and single

    resources in the CHR community?

    What capabilities and resources could your institution offer to otherCHR institutions?

    What capabilities and resource might you request from other CHRinstitution during a catastrophic incident?

    Conclusion

    Think beyond institutional preparedness

    Expand available capabilities and resources by

    building relationships through collaboration Connect with or create a network in your state
