ESF 2 Communications

Public Safety Communications

Municipal situation reports continue to be monitored for public safety communication system issues. No outstanding

requests for assistance received as of time of this report. Several requests for assistance acted on.

DESPP/CTS reporting 18 sites on backup generator power with two sites on a deployable generator due to primary

generator failure or fuel delivery issues. Two Troops remain on Troop generators.CSP Troop telephone service has now been restored to all Troops.

Public Communications

AT&T reports continued progress with provision of backup power to remote facilities.

Backhaul connectivity troubles continue to be identified and referred for repair/restoration.

Continuous communications continue with commercial wireless carriers, wireline providers, and VoIP providers.

Fueling of generators is a challenge among the EFS2 community. Site access due to downed power lines, poles, and

trees poses a challenging environment and the inability to use normal fuel delivery vehicles.

Providers continue to provide reconnaissance on their systems and are reporting back.

Debris continues to be a challenge in the restoration of power. One request for debris removal assistance forwarded

to Debris Removal Task Force and rectified.Next Telecommunications Task Force meeting 2 November 2011 1500.

Task Force report will be forwarded under separate cover.

DAS BEST

DAS BEST Continues to support the EOC:

- Reported intermittent e-mail exchange problem between 12:05 through 12;20. Problem looks to be resolved, but a

ticket will remain open in the event occurs again.

- Request for DAS facility to house out of state Linemen and crews. Meeting was has just recently completed 1424.

Ray Philbrick and Doug Moore attending this meeting at the EOC. City of Torrington has offered the Torrington

Armory which should accommodate 100 cots. However, parking is needed for the trucks. Offered the State owned

parking lot located at 59 Field Street, Torrington. DAS FM has been maintaining this property for DCS as it is the

location of the future Litchfield County Courthouse. NW Community College and Naugatuck Community College do

not have power. Still waiting on UConn and whether the Torrington Campus could work.

Commodities Task Force

Numerous deliveries of food and water have been made to Towns by the CT Army National Guard. Further deliveries

will be made on 11/2/11. The task force is also managing donations and collaborating with appropriate agencies for

approval for distribution.

American Red Cross-ARC

The American Red Cross is helping to support sheltering needs across the State of Connecticut.

There are nearly 60 shelters currently operating in Connecticut. The Red Cross is helping in many shelters with staff,

management and supplies and is in communication with affected towns across the State to help assess needs and

facilitate delivery of supplies.

Anyone planning to seek shelter should bring a pillow and bedding or a sleeping bag or sleeping mat. Remember also

to bring any maintenance or prescription medications that you will require on a regular basis.

Cots and other shelter supplies are a combination of resources from the Red Cross and from the State of Connecticut,

as well as supplies some communities may already have.

The Red Cross is also helping to provide food in shelters across the State. The Red Cross has purchase agreements

with food distributors to get large quantities of food items quickly and at a reasonable cost. Meals are also being

provided by the State of Connecticut Department of Corrections, under an agreement with that agency developed

during our emergency planning with the State of Connecticut. The Red Cross also has a supply of shelf- stable Meals

Ready to Eat that will be distributed as needed.

Fuel Task Force

Fuel Supplies: DCP and Independent CT Petroleum Assoc. reporting all shoreline terminals are open and supplies are

sufficient. There remains a supply disruption from Middletown north to Wethersfield however this should not create

a distribution problem. Some gas stations with generators can only transact cash sales.

Municipal Fueling: DOT has been very responsive to municipal requests for fuel for emergency and maintenance

vehicles. They have identified strategic fueling locations for 24 hour availability. The instructions on how to accessthe 6 locations (Rocky Hill, Waterbury, Cornwall, Windsor, Winchester, Farmington) are posted on the DOT and

DEMHS web pages. Fueling to the DOT pumps is on schedule.

Service Plazas: All twenty-one DOT service plazas are open (Rte 15, I-395 and I-95).

Emergency Generators: Experiencing numerous requests for generators. A request was made to FEMA at 16:00 hrs.

10/31/11 for an additional 54 units. This was reduced by FEMA to 42 units which are en route to CT from Maryland.

An Action Request Form (ARF) is being processed for Prime Power Survey Teams to be deployed. DEMHS is working

on the options to obtain additional generator resources. Deployments will be based on the Prime Power Survey. The

EOC has also sent out a survey to EMDs to determine any additional generator needs.

List of Available Gas Stations: DCP continues to update the list of open gas stations for 2-1-1 information. This is an

ever changing situation with those stations with power requiring re-fueling on a more frequent basis. Latest update

from DCP was 15:43 hrs.

ESF8 Public Health and Medical Services

Department of Public Health

4 Hospitals are presently indicating that their Emergency Operations centers either partially or fully operating. These

are:

Bristol Hospital

Saint Francis Hospital

Waterbury Hospital

Danbury Hospital

Connecticut Valley Hospital continues to operate on generator power.

Charlotte Hungerford, Hospital closed their EOC but is maintaining its specialty care shelter.

Request for Hartford Hospital through Region 3 ESF8: 30 special needs cots. Currently working to fill the request.

Through the Region 3 RCC: A request was received for 6 CNAs or higher to support shelter operations in the towns of

West Hartford, Manchester, and Middletown for shifts from 1800-0600 starting tonight 11-02-2011 through 11-06-

2011. Bristol Hospital requests 5 Emergency Department RN's and 4 ICU RN's for various shifts Friday 11-04-2011

through Monday 11-07-2011. Currently in process of addressing the request.

Middlesex Hospital reports that their cancer treatment center is still without power. They report now being fourth

on the priority list for power restoration behind waste water, Connecticut Valley Hospital and the Wesleyan

Dormitories. They are unable to transfer patients to alternate treatment sites until some power can be restored

since treatment plans/records reside onsite electronically. They are trying to get a generator to the facility with thehope of at least accessing patient records. They caution that there is no guarantee that they will be able to get the

records off their server in this manner. There are 42 patients currently being affected. The center has reached out

to SFH and THOCC for alternate treatment locations but there has been no handoff of patients.

Received a call from Masonicare Partner's Home Care Agency in East Hartford with concerns regarding residents that

required 24 hour nursing care who are without power, have no heat and are at home. The ambulance and 911 are

not transporting to shelters because they are taking care of the more emergent cases. Provided information for

alternative resolutions with the facility administration. The Nursing supervisor at Masonicare Partners Home Health

Agency in East Hartford reports that of four residents affected; 2 have been transported to Saint Frances Hospital, 1

to Hartford Hospital and 1 to a shelter in West Hartford.

Report of a 13 year old living in Weston, CT requiring infusion of medication at room temperature. On priority list for

CL&P. The town's EMD has been contacted. He is aware of the situation and will call the SEOC with an update ASAP.

People continue to present to emergency departments due to carbon monoxide exposure, often the result of unsafecooking and heating practices. DPH continues to work to improve public awareness of this issue and to monitor

number of patients presenting to emergency departments with carbon monoxide exposure on a daily basis.

Presently we have received reports from our acute care facilities relaying an estimated total of 181 patients seen at

their EDs for carbon monoxide exposure during this event. An Everbridge reminder was sent to the acute care

facilities requesting their continued submission of CO patient data.

To date, 14 child day care programs have contacted the Department to report that they closed due to loss of power

(based on news reports we know there are many more impacted). 4 are family day care homes and 10 are child day

care centers/group day care homes. Of the 14, 3 have since reopened due to the restoration of power. Additionally,

four complaints have been received of programs operating without power which is being immediately followed up

with visits to the programs to ensure the health and safety of the children and staff is maintained.

In response to Storm Alfred and the issues with overcrowding in the Emergency Departments of hospitals, Nursing

homes have been provided the opportunity to surge their licensed bed census by 10%. A waiver consent agreement

has been drafted and signed by the following nursing homes to date:

1.Woodlake of Tolland

2.WestHartford Health and Rehab

3. Waters Edge

4. Belair Manor

5. Pinesat Bristol

6. Amberwoods of Farmington

7. St Mary Home

8. Cherry Brook9. Aaron Manor

Hospital of Special Care (NBGH) has offered to assist any area hospital with regard to patient surge.

There are currently 62 nursing homes and 18 residential care homes (RCH) on generator. No nursing homes are

reporting issues with access to fuel. One nursing home on generator is reporting that 4 units are having difficulty with

heat, reporting that one resident is having difficulty maintaining their body temperature. The facility is working with

the local Fire Marshal. An onsite visit is planned and in route. One RCH is experiencing generator problems and has

made plans to evacuate residents to family member homes or to the senior center which has been set up as a

shelter. It is anticipated that seven residents will transfer to the shelter.
