 April Taylor, left, City of Orlando Office of Emergency Management, and Kathy
DeVault, Office of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, gave Ohio Emergency Management Spring Conference attendees insight into hot the City of Orlando's preparedness efforts helped in their response to the shooting at The Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, which became the site of
the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
“In
regard to training and exercises, we always exercise for hurricanes – what to
do before, during and afterwards. But in 2013 we started conducting school active
shooter exercises,” said Taylor. “And in 2015 we had an active shooter tabletop
exercise where the scenario involved a civil disobedience incident in the
downtown corridor.”
Taylor
said the trainings and exercises got other agencies and organizations to see
how they would be involved in a non-hurricane incident.
On
Saturday night, June 11, Pulse nightclub hosted Latino Night. About 300
people were there. Just before 2 a.m., a gunman entered with an assault rifle
and handgun and started shooting. Forty-nine people were killed and more than 50 injured.
“If you
can say anything good came out of it, the Pulse was located within two blocks
of the only trauma hospital in the city,” Taylor said. People drove the injured
to the hospital before fire trucks and EMS arrived. “And because of that, many
lives were saved.”
Taylor
noted that 14 agencies were initial responders within the first
six hours of the event. The emergency operations center operated at a Level 1
activation, June 12-22. An emergency information (call) center was established.
It initially started with 12 phones and expanded to 23. Taylor said in the
course of 10 days, the center received more than 6,800 calls with more than half
of them coming in within the first 24 hours. She said the emergency info center
was later manned by American Red Cross staff who were trained in crisis
management.
The
city needed a reunification center – a place away from the hospitals and the
nightclub where family and friends could go to wait for word of their loved
ones. They first used a senior center which initially worked well, until
security and parking became a problem, especially with media crowding in.
By
Wednesday, June 15, the reunification center was moved to a family assistance center
(FAC). DeVault, who works in the mayor’s office, led operations of the FAC.
“The
FAC was a huge partnership with about 35 to 40 agencies,” said DeVault. She
said the airlines were very helpful, flying family members to and from Orlando
for funeral or hospital visits. She noted that the Attorney General’s Office
helped with the titles of the deceased individuals’ cars, issuing of death
certificates and Social Security benefit information.
“The
Family Assistance Center was to be a safe place for the families,” said
DeVault. “One thing the FAC could not do was shield them from the media. Local
media was respectful. National media, not so much.” DeVault said the FAC relocated
to the Camping World Stadium (Orlando Citrus Bowl), where there was ample
parking, better security for family members, and a designated area for media.
DeVault
noted that for every person deceased, there were about 10 to 12 people
impacted. She said it took more than 1,200 people over the course of eight days
to assist the families of the deceased and injured.

 The Ohio EMA Communications Branch, in conjunction with the
City of Columbus Water and Sewer District, are working to expand the Columbus
rain gauge network. The Columbus rain gauge network works in conjunction with
the Franklinton Floodwall Project, which was designed and built in 2004 by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to withstand up to a 500 year flood.
The five new
rain gauge sites will bring the total number of Columbus rain gauges to 46. These five new gauges sites are positioned in the Upper Scioto Watershed
to provide additional ground saturation data to the National Weather Service.
This additional data will aid the National Weather Service in providing
accurate flood guidance for the City of Columbus and Ohio residents along the
Scioto, Olentangy and Ohio Rivers. Locations for the new gauges include
Northmor (Morrow Co.), Caledonia (Marion Co.), Richwood (Union Co.), Mt.
Victory (Hardin Co.) and Bellefontaine (Logan Co.).
All of the Ohio EMA rain
gauges, USGS river gauges and the City of Columbus rain gauges can be viewed on
the Ohio EMA STORMS website storms.ema.state.oh.us.

Ohio EMA's Communication Branch recently received a report about the Sept. 28 FEMA Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) Program Management Office's (PMO) second nationwide EAS Test. This test exercised IPAWS message distribution via the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
The test message origination was
observed by a representative from the White House Military Office, and Wade Witmer, Deputy Director
of the IPAWS PMO. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) staff were on the Test Management call as well. According to the report, test observations and reports
fell within expected norms based upon observations during previous regional testing efforts. There
are a number areas for improved performance, most of which require more attention to EAS device
maintenance and configuration by individual EAS Participants.
Both the cable and television industry
are now more aware of how their middleware and station automation products handle (or mishandle)
EAS messages and need continuing encouragement to ensure that these internal systems will properly process and pass EAS messages
to their customers/viewers.

EMA's Mitigation Branch has a mobile residential safe room display available
for use at any upcoming county fairs and festivals.
The safe room display
model was developed by the Ohio Emergency Management Agency – Mitigation Branch
to educate citizens on wind and tornado mitigation. Safe rooms are the
only way to mitigate the life safety threat posed by tornadoes.
This
display model was built using an in-ground safe room constructed of
polyethylene rotational molded plastic sitting on top of a custom built
trailer. When this unit is properly installed, only the air vent and door
are visible above ground.
Both the air vent and door are designed to meet
safety and construction criteria described in FEMA publication 320 and FEMA
publication 361 titled, Design and Construction Guidance for Community Safe
Rooms. These publications describe many alternative designs for safe room
construction. Examples of some of these designs include: above ground
exterior safe rooms, safe rooms designed specifically for basements and
garages, closet retrofits etc. Any safe room that is constructed should
comply with these design criteria to ensure that the safe room provides “near
absolute protection” for tornadoes and high wind.
If you are interested
in borrowing the display, please contact the Mitigation Branch as soon as
possible as available dates go quickly. For any questions or to schedule
the safe room display contact Steve Ferryman, Mitigation Branch Chief at
614-799-3539 or saferryman@dps.ohio.gov

 Organizations from across Summit County participated in an Integrated Emergency Management Course, specifically designed to simulate county-level emergencies in Summit County, at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland in April.
This Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) training included coordinated response activities, planning for multiple hazards and situational awareness for public officials and emergency responders.
Training included a tabletop exercise and a simulation incident allowing course members to work together in a prepared high impact situation that may be likely to affect all included entities. The class allowed members to work within an emergency operation center to increase awareness of how their agencies may interact during a crisis situation. Roles and responsibilities were highlighted and strengthened to prepare for real-life activities.
“Engaging in this type of simulation exercise provides our first responders with the knowledge to prepare solid response and recovery plans,” County Executive Ilene Shapiro said. “In order to be prepared and have appropriate responses, these types of trainings provide great benefits as we work to ready our county for possible unforeseen circumstances.”
"With advances in technology, we face new and changing threats and hazards. While we hope and pray that our community is never subjected to a large scale emergency, it is essential that we remain prepared for a wide array of possible disaster situations, both natural and man-made,” Mayor Horrigan said. “Having reviewed and tested our emergency management structure, I can say with confidence that our community’s leaders and first responders are well-prepared to address an emergency situation of any size.”
Costs for this course were covered by FEMA – Federal Emergency Management Agency training budget. Additional fees were covered by Summit County and Ohio EMAs.
Participants included Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro, City of Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan, City of Fairlawn Mayor William Roth, Springfield Township Trustee Debbie Davis, Vito Sinopoli representing Bath Township and Akron-Canton Airport, Akron Zoo, Akron Children’s Hospital, American Red Cross, AT&T, Emergency Management personnel from both Ohio and Summit County, First Energy, Portage Path Behavioral Health, Public Safety Personnel from Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Copley, Green, Macedonia, New Franklin, Stow, Twinsburg and Summit County Sheriff, Summit County Office of Information Technology, Summit County Educational Services, Summit County Executive’s Office, Summit County Public Health and the University of Akron.

 April 22, Licking County EMA, partnering with the Licking County CERT
team, conducted a damage assessment exercise
in the Village of St. Louisville.
Homes
and businesses were marked up to depict damage sustained from both flood and
wind. Village residents volunteered to
play the roles of disaster survivors.
Earlier this
year John Wieber, deputy director, Licking County EMA, reached out to the Ohio
EMA for technical assistance in developing an exercise for damage
assessment. Staff members Brigitte
Bouska, Disaster Recovery Branch, Dan Endrizzi, Regional staff and Rhonda
Meggitt, Preparedness Branch, collaborated to provide the subject matter
expertise necessary for a successful exercise.
The purpose
of the exercise was for the CERT team members to practice and apply damage
assessment skills learned in the classroom, to a field experience, during “blue
skies,” and in a non-stressful, learning environment.
Other
players included Incident Command, ARES, the Salvation Army, the St. Louisville
Police Dept. and EMS. Although a very
brisk day the exercise provided a valuable experience for all those who
participated.
If you have
any questions, please contact Laura Adcock, Disaster Recovery Branch Chief, at
614-799-3667 or ladcock@dps.ohio.gov.

This is a drill. This is a drill. This is a drill.
An influx of patients were seen in hospitals across
Northwest Ohio on April 12th, in response to a potential novel virus. Organized
by the Northwest Ohio Healthcare Emergency Management Coalition, an
organization within The Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio overseeing emergency
and disaster preparedness planning for the region’s hospitals, healthcare
systems, public health jurisdictions and public information officers, the
exercise taxed emergency departments and health departments alike. Players from
35 hospitals, 17 health departments, multiple County Emergency Management
Agencies, Ohio Emergency Management Agency and first responders participated in
the Coalition’s full-scale exercise as players, evaluators and simulation cell
actors.
Hospital infection control and public health epidemiologists
opened lines of communication on the Class A Reportable Disease and shared
information on the identification of the pathogen through laboratory
confirmation. The patient was identified and tested after patient intake
questioning and symptoms led to suspicion of the potential novel virus. After
disease identification, hospitals provided for isolation and 48 hour continuous
care of the patient(s) including the transportation of a patient in an IsoPod
unit from ProMedica Defiance Regional Hospital to St. Rita’s Medical Center
(Lima), the Region’s only Tier 1 hospital. Public Health partners also set up
Points of Dispensing (PODs) to distribute antiviral medications to the general
public.
The scenario tested changes to local and regional Emerging
Infectious Disease policies that were identified in tabletop exercises held in
the first quarter of the year. Additional target areas for evaluation included:
the healthcare systems role in community preparedness involving coordination
with emergency management and public health (among other agencies and partners);
identifying gaps and prioritizing assets, resources and services; information
sharing; sustainment of redundant, interoperable communication systems; medical
surge including operations with EMS; responder safety through pharmaceutical
protection and personal protection equipment; public health emergency
preparedness capabilities; medical countermeasure dispensing;
non-pharmaceutical interventions; and public health surveillance and
epidemiological investigation. This large-scale incident featured data entry
into state-wide patient and bed tracking programs; requesting, obtaining and
processing the Strategic National Stockpile; the opening of Hospital Command
Centers (HCC), public health Department Operation Centers (DOC) and regional
command structures; and use of the MARCS radio system.
This exercise, based on a biological event resulting in an
infectious disease impacting hospitals, health care partners, public health
departments and emergency management partners, was a true test of the Northwest
region’s capabilities to plan and execute those plans to respond to this type
of natural disaster incident.
