Incident Action Planning
6
• Type, location, magnitude, possible duration• On-going hazards and safety concerns• Determine initial priorities based on:
1 - Life saving 2 - Incident stabilization 3 - Property preservation
• Establishes the Hospital Command Center• Sets the initial “Operational Period”
The Incident Commander conducts the initial incident assessment:
#1 Assess the Situation
7
An Operational Period is: • The time period scheduled for execution 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
#2 Set the Operational Period
8
“Incident Objectives”• Broad organizational objectives that are
foundational and do not change during response and recovery; 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 hospital personnel
#3 Determine Safety Priorities and Establish Incident Objectives
9
Individual Section/Branch Objectives• More specific Branch/Section objectives to
achieve overall Incident Objectives
• Steps during the defined Operational Period
• Should be tangible and measurable
Example:
• Provide prophylaxis to 75% of direct patient care staff within 2 hours
• Decontaminate 50 victims within 1 hour
#4 Determine Individual Section/Branch Objectives
10
#5 Determine Strategies and Tactics
Strategy defined:• The general direction selected to accomplish
incident objectives
• 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 objectives must be identified
#6 Determine Needed Resources
12
• Hospital Command Center positions are activated according to incident needs
• Staff are assigned to conduct incident specific operations:
Evacuation Decontamination Triage and treatment Safety measures
Once the objectives and needed resources are identified, assignments are issued:
#7 Issue Assignments
13
The Planning Meeting
The Planning Meeting is:
• Led by the Planning Chief
• Defines and finalizes operational period objectives, strategies, tactics, and resources as determined by each section for the next operational period
14
The Planning Meeting is conducted after:
Incident Commander has provided an incident briefing and determined the Incident Objectives and identified the Operational Period
Sections have met to discuss their response priorities and identified Section/Branch objectives
The Planning Meeting
15
The Planning Meeting is:
Based on a fixed agenda and includes a report out of section-specific objectives for the Operational Period, resources assigned, resource needs
Attended by Incident Commander, Command and General Staff
The Planning Meeting
16
At the end of the Planning Meeting: The Section Chiefs submit completed
HICS Form 204 Assignment List
The Safety Officer submits completed HICS Form 215A Incident Action Plan Safety Analysis
The Planning Meeting
17
Direct, monitor and evaluate response:• Constant monitoring of strategies and tactics
for effectiveness
• Assess the Branch/Section 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
18
#9 Evaluate and Revise Plans
Conduct a current situation assessment Update situation/incident information
Assess the impact on the hospital
Length and duration of incident
Resource availability
• Assess the Incident Objectives
