On behalf of all New Yorkers, I am pleased to welcome many of our state’s first responders and some of the world’s leading experts in public safety to this important conference. You will hear from individuals who have dealt with some of the most devastating disasters and emergency situations in recent history. The Conference will address current risks and help us develop practical strategies for

planning, response and recovery, so that our state can use our resources to respond more effectively and better protect our residents.

Since taking office, my administration’s top priority has been to make government work for the people of New York State. Government’s highest concern is public safety, which requires an emergency management system that can put into motion a rapid and effective response when disaster strikes.

During Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, we learned that we must anticipate and be well prepared for all emergencies. This inaugural conference builds on the progress we have already made toward our goal of establishing the best emergency management system in the nation.

To effectively marshal our resources in emergency situations when disaster strikes, we launched five Regional Disaster Logistics Centers to serve as staging areas. To create a statewide network of first responders who are prepared for anything at any time, we established Regional Rapid Response and Incident Management Assistance Teams to expedite deployment and coordinate with local governments. And to help ensure the most efficient deployment of all of our combined resources, we created a new, streamlined network among state agencies to coordinate disaster response equipment so the right equipment is in the right place at the right time.

We are committed to putting New York State at the forefront of emergency preparedness, which will make us a model for other states, and help us fulfill our highest mission—protecting the public’s safety.

- Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

Making New York State the Leader in Preparedness, Planning and Knowledge

DIVISION OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND EMERGENCY SERVICES

N E W Y O R K S T A T E

The mission of the New York State Division of Homeland Security and State Emergency Services is to support all New Yorkers through Preparedness, Prevention, Protection, Response and Recovery.

Created in 2010, DHSES has five offices that comprise the division: the offices of Counter Terrorism, Cyber Security, Emergency Management, Fire Prevention and Control, and Interoperable and Emergency Communications;

The dedicated team of men and women at DHSES provide leadership, coordination and support in efforts to prevent, protect against, prepare for, respond to terrorism threats, other man-made and natural disasters, fires and other emergencies.

Communicating on a daily basis with all levels of government, we work closely with the private sector, and volunteer organizations to improve the readiness, response and recovery capabilities for all communities throughout the Empire State.

Office of Counter Terrorism: To support federal, State, local, tribal and private sector efforts to prevent, protect against and prepare for acts and threats of terrorism.

Office of Cyber Security: Dedicated to the protection of the State’s cyber security infrastructure. Responsible for statewide policies, standards, programs and services relating to cyber security and geographic information systems.

Office of Emergency Management: To coordinate and deliver comprehensive emergency management services for the citizens of New York State, and the public, private and volunteer organizations that protect their lives and property.

Office of Fire Prevention and Control: The NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control strives to be the nationally recognized leader in fire services, delivering the highest quality, state of the art, and most comprehensive training, response, and technical assistance programs and services to emergency responders, local entities, and the citizens of New York State.

Office of Interoperable and Emergency Communications: To develop and improve statewide interoperability using a regional-based “network of networks” approach working with counties, State agencies and other stakeholders.

Statement from Jerome M. Hauer

Dear Colleague:

Welcome to the 2012 Governor’s Conference on Emergency Preparedness.

We come together for the next two days to discuss important topics that matter to all of us – disaster planning, personal preparedness, and improving the way we confront various challenges and potential threats across the state.

It’s a new day for emergency management and disaster preparedness in New York State as we evolve from an “all-hazards” approach to “catastrophic” planning and I am proud to say that New York is leading the nation on this initiative. Instead of looking at each disaster individually, we are now looking at worst-case scenarios. We are turning away from the three-day approach to personal preparedness, and investing in a safer, better approach that encourages seven-to-ten day preparedness measures. Considering the many different types and scopes of threats we face including dangers from weather, terrorism and cyber security – it is safe to say that New York State and its citizens cannot be “too” prepared for a catastrophic disaster.

This inaugural conference offers us the opportunity to explore these and other complex issues and concerns, such as climate change, disaster-related trauma, chemical suicides, and risk communication. We’ll hear from those who have faced and explored some of the most dangerous threats, both domestic and abroad, from responders to managers to news media professionals. We will discuss what needs to be done to address emerging threats and issues, and we will have the chance to apply what we learn from this conference in our own communities.

My hope is that when this conference has ended, you will take away greater knowledge, stronger partnerships, and a sense of pride in knowing that New York State, under the leadership of Governor Andrew Cuomo, is leading the way – both nationally and globally – in disaster preparedness.

I look forward to working with you to help protect the lives and property of our fellow citizens.

Sincerely,

Jerome M. Hauer Commissioner, DHSES

The History of Disasters in New York New York State has a diverse risk profile and as a result, must be prepared for a variety of threats. From 1956 through the present, all but five of the disasters or emergencies that were declared major disasters or emergencies have been the result of damages from severe floods, hurricanes, coastal storms, and severe winter storms. The five disaster declarations that do not fall into those categories are: the Love Canal Environmental Disaster, the Long Island Wildfires in 1995, the terrorist attacks affecting the World Trade Center, and the April 2002 Earthquake.

The Sunrise Fires

In late August-early September 1995, a series of major brush fires swept through the Pine Barrens region of Long Island. The fire, aided by high winds and dry conditions, quickly spread, threatening area homes and businesses. The fire was nicknamed the “Sunrise Wildfire,” as it engulfed both sides of Sunrise Highway, the major highway connecting the Hamptons region with the rest of Long Island. The fires closed down the highway and stopped railroad service, effectively cutting the Hamptons off from the rest of the island for days as firefighters from all over Long Island and the FDNY worked around the clock to battle the blaze. It took more than 2 weeks to extinguish the fires but the results were disastrous: approximately 7,000 acres had burned, numerous homes and small businesses suffered damage, and 400 people were forced to evacuate their homes. Fortunately no lives were lost though several firefighters suffered minor injuries.

Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee

The most expensive natural disaster to hit New York State and the most costly since the events of September 11, 2001, these two weather events hit New York in a “one- two punch”. These storms resulted in 9 confirmed fatalities, over 390,000 ordered evacuations, 1,065,000 power outages and significant damage to the state’s infrastructure. The storm affected 380 counties and led to ever $1.5 billion in FEMA assistance. The recovery to these storms continues in earnest today and will for many months and years to come.

The Terrorist Attacks on the World Trade Centers On February 26, 1993, international terrorism arrived on American soil when a group of terrorists drove a van loaded with a 1,500 pound urea-nitrate bomb into an underground garage of the North Tower. The explosion that followed killed 6 people and injured over one thousand. This bombing proved to a deadly rehearsal for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 which resulted in the loss of thousands of civilians and hundreds of first responders in the most deadly terrorist attack on U.S. soil. While the cost to rebuild and protect New York as a result of this disaster reached into the billions.

The Ice Storm of 1998

A devastating ice storm struck Northern New York during January 1998 and produced over three inches of ice in the region. Power lines and transmission towers failed under the weight of the ice, with the entire regional power infrastructure suffering severe damages. Many communities were without power for more than 30 days. President Clinton declared five counties in New York a Federal Disaster in what was the most expensive disaster in New York History until Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. The ice coated all outdoor surfaces, toppling trees, collapsing outdoor structures, and threatening the lives of a large, distributed population.

Without power, farmers were unable to feed and water livestock and cattle and as a result, New York’s farm industry was severely impacted.

Governor’s Initiative for Emergency Response Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has launched a series of major initiatives to transform New York State’s disaster and emergency response capabilities.

Regional Disaster Logistics Centers

DHSES will work with state agencies, the National Guard, and localities to put in place five Disaster Logistics Centers in key regional locations across the New York State. When completed, the state will have a total of five regionally located stockpile and staging areas that can be used to store emergency equipment and rescue vehicles, and provide expedited assistance to local governments during emergencies. The Disaster Logistics Centers will ensure that the state has resources and equipment pre-positioned in areas where they would be most needed during an emergency. The Centers will be located in the North Country, Western New York, Hudson Valley, Southern Tier, and Long Island. The Regional Disaster Logistics Centers will ensure that the right vehicles and equipment are in the right place to respond rapidly to an emergency situation. Vehicles will be regionally positioned so they can be deployed immediately. The centers will also have pre-positioned equipment and supplies, including generators, pumps, water filters, specialized rescue equipment, communications equipment, and personal care items such as food, water, cots and blankets.

Establish Regional Rapid Response and Incident Management Teams

Regional Rapid Response TeamsDHSES will organize Rapid Response Support Teams (RRSTs) that will align with the new response areas to promptly deploy in emergency situations and coordinate state support with local governments. The RRSTs will be co-led by State Commissioners that have been specially trained in emergency management and State Office of Emergency Management regional directors. The teams will also include representatives from the State Office of Emergency Management, State Police, National Guard, and other agencies.

Incident Management TeamsDHSES will create additional regionally-based Incident Management Teams (IMTs) comprised of local public safety and first response personnel who have received specialized training to support localities and provide expertise during emergency situations. New York currently has one state-level and two locally-based IMTs, each of which was instrumental in supporting disaster operations in heavily flooded counties during the late summer storms of 2011.

First Responder Statewide Credentialing System

Our new credentialing program will ensure that State and local governments have visibility and access to trained public safety personnel whose identification and qualifications have been verified and documented by a standardized statewide identification card system.

A standardized ID card or credential will be provided for each fire, EMS and law enforcement responder. The card will serve to visually document the minimum basic qualifications possessed by a responder and will include a barcode or other electronically readable feature allowing rapid verification or transfer of qualification information. The card will include basic identification information including name, photo, and expiration date in addition to the qualifications possessed by that responder.

A database will be developed to document the qualifications possessed by all fire, EMS and law enforcement responders. And a secure web portal will be developed to allow access to the qualification database for verifying qualifications possessed by a responder when an ID card is issued by an authorized agency. Agencies will be able to verify qualifications as needed during an incident or to generate an incident specific ID card in response to an enhanced credentialing or identification security need.

Initial contacts and program development discussions are underway and DHSES plans to begin to integrate this program into select disciplines beginning in 2013.

New York State Preparedness Training Center The mission of the State Preparedness Training Center (SPTC) is to provide first responders and appropriate officials with the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to safely and effectively prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from terrorist acts and other major/catastrophic incidents such as natural disasters.

The SPTC is located at the former Oneida County Airport in Oriskany,

NY. It includes 723 acres and is managed and operated by the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services in collaboration with the University at Albany’s National Center for Security & Preparedness. The SPTC serves as a centralized training facility for New York State as well as local and federal first responders from all disciplines.

Training Program

The SPTC provides training to emergency responders, federal, state and local agencies, as well as a host of other public and private entities across a wide range of curricula. Areas of focus include, counter terrorism, WMD, intelligence, CBRNE, and the many other topical areas comprising the homeland security enterprise. The SPTC’s outstanding staff and faculty of trainers, instructors, and subject matter experts are leaders in the nation in the development and delivery of functionally integrated, scenario-based training. The SPTC offers students the ability to train in a wide variety of realistic venues.

Day Two - Tuesday October 30, 2012 Preparedness, Planning and Knowledge

7:20 a.m. - 8:20 a.m. Governor Cuomo invites you to special tours of the newly renovated New York State Capitol

Tours will begin at the New York State Capital, on the State Street Side. Albany, NY

Description: The Capital is a stunning and beautiful example of 19th century ar-chitecture. The Capitol was initially designed by Englishman Thomas Fuller, who also designed the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, Canada. However, the Capitol that Fuller envisioned was never completed. In 1876, Fuller was replaced by two prominent American architects, Leopold Eidlitz and Henry Hobson Richardson. Spanning four decades, the finished Capitol took 32 years to build, from 1867 to 1899. The final cost was a staggering $25 million dollars. Today, that same struc-ture would cost a half billion dollars to build.

The New York State Executive Mansion is located on Eagle Street in downtown Albany. Since 1875, this house has been home to New York’s governors and their families. It is a house that is eclectic in style, filled with history and rich with tradi tion. It remains a fitting symbol of the variety and greatness of the Empire State.

8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. Workshop 60 minutes Sessions (Choose one of three panels)

health and safety programs and support local government during emergency response. It will provide an update on key initiatives and will enable attendees to speak directly with State leadership on the State’s new approach to emergency preparedness.

2. An Emerging Menace: Planning for Active Shooter Threats

Presenters: Samuel Mayhugh, PhD, Behavioral Specialist Jonathan Richeson, Security Specialist, Department of Homeland Security.

Moderator: Kevin Gagan, New York State Police, First Deputy Superintendent

Description: Active shooter incidents continue to occur across our nation, and serve as a reminder of today’s ever-changing threat environment and the challenges we face. An active shooter incident can unfold quickly, requiring a multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional response from the public safety community. This seminar will focus on the behavioral aspect of the active shooter scenario. Common behavior, conditions and situations associated with active shooters will be discussed, as will the importance of fostering communication before an incident occurs. The session will also discuss important options for consideration such as having escape routes and plans when inside or attending an outdoor event.

3. Catastrophic Planning

Presenters: Clifford Oliver, Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Maryland’s University College Fire Science, Homeland Security and Emergency Management ProgramJoseph Bruno, Commissioner, New York City Office of Emergency ManagementJohn Farrell, Director, Greene County (NY) Emergency Management

Moderator: Steven Kuhr, Executive Deputy Commissioner, New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Director, New York State Office of Emergency Management

Description: Because of limited staffing and resources, all-hazards planning efforts lack depth during large, complex disasters. The threat of terrorism, as well as global climate change and the location of human population centers, will continue to occur at an ever-increasing rate and scale. Standard emergency planning practices have been shown to be insufficient to address such events. It is essential that we shift our thinking on how to effectively manage the complexity of catastrophic disasters. This workshop will include practical experience of emergency managers that have been involved in catastrophic planning

15

and complex events. Mr. Oliver will provide an overview of the key tenets of catastrophic planning.

4. Managing Trauma: The Hidden Disaster

Presenters: Ann Norwood, MD. Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS).Robert Ursano, MD. Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland. James Halpern, PhD. Professor of Psychology and Director of the Institute for Disaster Mental Health SUNY New Paltz

Moderator: Michael Hogan, PhD, Commissioner, New York State Office of Mental Health

Description: The impacts of disaster and emergencies extend beyond the immediate damages and injuries that happen during or immediately following an incident. Emergency responders and survivors must cope with trauma and grief. Emotional impacts related to disaster-related trauma, if not recognized and treated, may have long-term consequences that affect survivors’ physical and emotional health, job performance, and relationships. This workshop will feature a panel of nationally-renowned clinicians that will explore the effects of trauma and the strategies that individuals and organization can employ to mitigate these effects.

5. Chemical Casualties: The Rise of Chemical Suicide

Presenter: Jacob Oreshan, Deputy Chief, New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control

Moderator: William R. Davis Jr., Deputy State Fire Administrator, New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control

Description: Chemical suicides have plagued the United States since 2008 and continue to be on the rise. This method of suicide originated in Japan in 2007, where they have seen more than 2,000 cases. Chemical suicide, or detergent suicide, involves mixing common household chemicals to create deadly hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas, which is lethal in contained areas. These incidents also pose a threat of acute injury to first responders who are called to these incidents. This workshop will explain this emerging threat, discuss health effects, explain methods for detection, use of personal protective equipment for responders, and treatment.

Moderators: Allison Gollust, Director of Communications New York State Governor’s Office and former Executive VP of Communications for NBC Universal Richard A. Bamberger, Former Director of Communications New York State Governor’s Office

Description: In public safety, advances in information technology and communications continue to present opportunities to improve emergency dispatch, incident assessment, mass notification, responder safety, and other areas. Using the news media is the quickest and most effective way to communicate with the public during disasters and emergencies. To use media effectively, public officials must understand the needs of media professionals and develop positive relationships with them. This workshop will feature media professionals who have responded to disasters to discuss media operational needs and share strategies to foster productive relationships that benefit the public during any type of incident.

7. Mobile Heroes: Incident Management Teams

Presenter: Robert Maynes, Deputy Assistant Chief, New York City Fire Department

Moderator: Bryant Stevens, State Fire Administrator, NYS DHSES, Office of Fire Prevention and Control

Description: As Tropical Storm Lee pounded New York’s Southern Tier, the New York City Fire Department’s (FDNY) multi-hazard incident management team (IMT) deployed to Broome County to assist county officials in managing response activities. The 100-member team supported emergency operations center activities and provided field assessments that guided the county’s decision-making and resource allocation. The FDNY team was one of several incident management teams that were deployed to assist local governments throughout New York State. This presentation will outline FDNY’s challenges and activities during their three-week deployment, and demonstrate how IMTs can support emergency management operations during large events.
