INCIDENT ACTION PLANNING
6
•Type of incident, location, magnitude, and possible duration•Ongoing hazards and safety concerns•Determines initial priorities based on:
1) Life saving 2) Incident stabilization 3) Property preservation
•Establishes the Hospital Command Center
The Incident Commander conducts the initial incident assessment from the information gathered:
1) ASSESS THE SITUATION
7
An Operational Period is: • The period of time scheduled for execution of a
given set of tactical actions in the Incident Action Plan
• Set by the Incident Commander
The Operational Period is usually set in hours:
• Does not have to conform to shift times
• Can be long or short, depending on the intensity of the incident or amount of information available
2) SET THE OPERATIONAL PERIOD
8
General Command Objectives are:• Broad organizational objectives that are
foundational and do not change during response and recovery. These objectives define where the system wants to be at the end of the response
• Not limited to an Operational Period
Examples:• Provide adequate care to all patients who present
as a result of the incident
• Provide for the safety of staff, patients and visitors
3) DETERMINE SAFETY PRIORITIES & ESTABLISH INCIDENT OBJECTIVES
9
Section/Branch Objectives are:• More specific objectives to achieve overall
incident objectives
• Steps during the defined Operational Period
• Should be tangible and measurable
Example:• Provide prophylaxis to 75% of hospital staff in
this operational period
• Decontaminate 25 victims in 2 hours
4) DETERMINE SECTION/BRANCH OBJECTIVES
10
5) DETERMINE STRATEGIES AND TACTICS
Strategy Defined:• The general direction selected to accomplish
incident objectives (NIMS)
• The approach to achieving the objectives
Tactics Defined:• Specific actions, sequence of actions,
procedures, tasks, assignments to meet strategies and objectives
• The “boots on the ground” or “doers”
11
• Tactical resources may include: Personnel Equipment Supplies Pharmaceuticals Vehicles
• Available and needed resources to meet the tactical objectives must be identified
6) DETERMINE NEEDED RESOURCES
12
• Additional HICS positions are activated according to incident needs
• Staff are assigned to conduct incident specific operations:
Evacuation Decontamination Triage and treatment Safety measures
Once the tactical objectives and necessary resources are identified, assignments are issued:
7) ISSUE ASSIGNMENTS
13
THE INCIDENT ACTION PLANNING MEETING
The Incident Action Planning Meeting is:
• Led by the Planning Chief
• Defines and finalizes branch/section objectives, strategies, tactics, and resources as determined by each section for the next operational period
• The Section Chiefs submit completed HICS Form 204 Branch Assignment List and the Safety Officer submits completed HICS Form 215A IAP Safety Analysis
14
Direct, monitor and evaluate response efforts:
• Constant monitoring of strategies and tactics for effectiveness
• Assess the Operational Period Objectives Are the objectives being achieved? Is the strategy/tactics safe? Is the strategy/tactics effective?
• Evaluation is an ongoing process throughout response and recovery
8) IMPLEMENT ACTIONS
15
9) REASSESS & ADJUST PLANS
Conduct a Current Situation Assessment:
Update situation/incident information Assess the impact on the hospital Length and duration of continued/resolving
incident Resource availability
• Assess the Incident Objectives
• Make sure they are achieved in a safe and timely manner
• Revise objectives, strategies, tactics and resource needs for the upcoming operational period
16

• The Incident Commander names the incident
• If the incident is a community-based incident, the appropriate jurisdiction will name the incident (e.g., county, city, EMS)
• The incident name should be documented on all forms
Naming the Incident
51
• HICS form 202: Incident Objectives Operational Period Date/Time
• Incident Commander sets the Operational Period o Based on number of simultaneous activitieso How quickly the situation is changing
• An Operational Period breaks the incident down into manageable timeframes
Step 2: Set the Operational Period
Incident Action Planning
52
• Identify the Incident Objectives (these are the broad objectives that will last throughout the response or are the priorities)
• HICS form 202: Incident Objectives
Step 3: Determine Safety Priorities & Establish Incident Objectives
Incident Action Planning
53
Utilize the Incident Response GuideInfectious Disease:
• Identify, triage, isolate and treat infectious patients
• Protect patients and staff from exposure and injury
• Assure safety and security for patients, staff, visitors and the hospital
• Admit a large number of infectious patients while protecting other (uninfected) patients
Incident Objectives
54
• It is reported the several of the patients with ILI symptoms in your hospital are requiring ICU level care and ventilator support.
Scenario Update #1
55
• Assess the Safety issues
• What hazards exist and what precautions need to be taken
• Complete the 215A – Incident Action Plan Safety Analysis
Side Note:Safety Officer Tasks
56
• Prepare a statement for the media
• Prepare a statement for the staff, patients and visitors (e.g., situation, status, safety precautions, next update time)
• The statements need approval from the Incident Commander
• Coordinate consistent messaging with the Joint Information Center (JIC)
Side Note: Public Information Officer task
57
• Make contact with the Public Health Department, EMS Agency or through the local EOC (MHOAC) if activated
• Who should be notified?
• Who is the source of resources in your local plan? (e.g., local EMS Department Operations Center, PHD Department Operations Center, County/City Emergency Operations Center)
• These contacts/processes should be identified prior to any incident
Side Note: Liaison Officer
59
• Document on HICS 204 – Assignment List
• They are based on the Incident Objectives
• These are based on what is desired to be achieved by the Branch/Section in that operational period
• Objectives need to be SMART (Simple, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time Sensitive & Task Oriented)
Incident Action Planning
Step 4: Determine Branch/Section Objectives
61
• Strategies & tactics are how your Branch/Section is going to achieve the objectives
• What actions do you need to take?
• Use your facility response plans and Incident Response Guides
• Record strategies & tactics on form 204 –Assignment List
Incident Action PlanningStep 5: Determine Strategies & Tactics
62
• What space resources are needed?
• What personnel resources do you need?
• What equipment and/or supplies do you need?
• What resources do you need in the patient collection/holding area?
• What transport resources do you need?
• Document resource activities: Resources assigned (form 204) Resource requests (form 213) Actions taken to utilize and obtain resources (form 214)
Step 6: Determine Needed Resources
Incident Action Planning
63
• Who will be assigned to the units?
• Fill in assignments on form 204 – Assignment List
• Are there other branches or units that need activated?
Step 7: Issue Assignments
Incident Action Planning
64
• For the first Operational Period the Incident Action Plan should be done within 30-45 minutes
• What makes up the Incident Action Plan? 201 - Incident Briefing 202 - Incident Objectives 203 - Incident Assignments 204 - Branch Assignments 215A - Incident Action Plan Safety Analysis
• The Planning Section compiles the forms to create the Incident Action Plans
Incident Action Planning
65
IAP Quick Start
• New form
• Can be used for small incidents
• Or for a rapid start to a large incident and then expand out on individual HICS forms
• Great for smaller pre-planned events
66
• Put your activities / plans into action
• What are some of these activities?
Step 8: Implement Actions
Incident Action Planning
67
• Your hospitals ICU is at full capacity. Patients will ILI symptoms continue to arrive at a high rate. There are only 3 ventilators left available in the hospital.
Scenario Update #2
68
• Towards the end of the operational period, you will need to evaluate status
• Repeat steps 1-8
• Update the forms
• Evaluate and/or update your Branch/Section Objectives
• This creates your Incident Action Plan (game plan) for the next operational period
Step 9: Reassess & Adjust Plans
