framework for the District’s response to, recovery

from, and mitigation of all hazards.

The

plan unifies and coordinates the efforts of District agencies and departments, nongovernmental and voluntary organizations, and regional and federal partners involved in emergency management, with the goal of protecting life and property and ensuring public safety.Slide4

Thinking back on the mass

disaster events that you thought of earlier…

Name all the agencies or organizations that you think are going to respond to those events (in addition to the lead agencies)?Slide11

Emergency Response in DC:

Family Assistance Center

The Family Assistance Center (FAC) model is a framework for providing family assistance following a mass disaster

Family assistance is defined as the provision of services and information

to the family members of those killed and to those injured or otherwise impacted by the incident

Although the specific needs of those impacted by a mass disaster will vary widely, family assistance presumes that the provision of information and access to services is essential

A FAC is focused on the immediate aftermath of a mass fatality event to give Slide12

Emergency Response in DC:

Family Assistance Center

A FAC is focused on the immediate aftermath of a mass disaster event to give survivors and families of victims a safe, central gathering place in proximity to the disaster site

The FAC provides a venue for authorities to provide information to victims, coordinate access to support services, and facilitate the collection of information from families that is necessary for victim identification

Most FACs will operate for a period of one to three weeks, the duration of which is tied to the victim recovery and identification process and other investigative activitiesSlide13

Emergency Response in DC:

Activation of FAC

The following serve as guidelines for triggers of a FAC

activation in DC:

There is a potential for nine (9) or more casualties/fatalities

Any incident that results in the need for reunification and services that exceeds the District’s normal capacity and the agency with jurisdiction (e.g., school system, hospital, business) requests the assistance of the District.

Any incident that displaces many individuals requiring assistance, information, and reunification.

Any District or regional event in which there are multiple casualties and/or fatalities with prolonged recoveryAny event where there are large numbers of missing persons.Any other incident where establishment of a FAC will enhance response operations. Any incident resulting in NTSB or Federal Agency requesting assistance with a District FAC.Slide15
