Marie L. Socha, MS, MSPH, DrPHContract Support to DHS Science & Tech DirectorateSHRR Consulting, Inc.
Coordination & Partnership with the Denver, CO region
DHS (S&T) sponsored programGoal: Working with interagency partners, including federal /state / local / tribal governments, military, private industry and non-profit organizations, develop solutions to reduce the time and resources required to recover wide urban areas, military installations, and other critical infrastructures following a catastrophic chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) incident.

Wide Area Recovery and Resiliency Program (WARRP)
• Collaborative program between DHS and Denver Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)— Stakeholders: Interagency partners, including federal /state / local / tribal
governments, military, private industry and non-profit organizations
• Building on Interagency Biological Restoration Demonstration (IBRD)— Test and evaluate transportability of IBRD consequence management guidance,
tools and solution sets against multiple threat agents within an all-hazards framework
— Further explore interdependencies between Public Health, DoD and the socio-economic areas
• Emphasis on Transition to Use— Operationally relevant solutions (tools, technologies, frameworks and reports),
developed and demonstrated to meet end-user and owner requirements

WARRP Focuses Primarily on the Recovery Phase of a Wide Area Event
Example: Rad Scenario Plume
5
Red Zone• 2 square miles• 500 mrem contamination zone• 8,000 buildings (100% require decon)
• 4 remediation units
Yellow Zone• 19 square miles• 25 mrem contamination zone• 24,000 buildings (1/3 of which will require decon)
• Indoor area: 87,000,000 ft2
• 11 remediation units
Initial Scenario Timeline1
9:00 am: Bomb explodes
9:15 am: Local fire and police determine that it was a dirty bomb
9:30 am: Local government decides whether to shelter or evacuate the city
10:00 am-1:00 pm: State and local set up a Unified Command; request support form feds
First few weeks: Monitoring, sampling, initial mitigation, begin cleanup of critical infrastructure
Minutes Weeks // Years
**RECOVERY PHASE BEGINS 60-90 DAYS AFTER RDD EXPLODES
Next few weeks: Emergency Support Function (ESF) 10 command structure developed. Begin detailed assessment and cleanup; begin transition of FRMAC from DOE to EPA- resource prioritization
Iterative process
Several years: continuing monitoring, sampling and site

Task 1: Systems Analysis outcomes (Gaps Analysis):
Task 1 (2QFY11through3QFY11): Development and execution of a front end ‐systems engineering study and gap analysis (commonly referred to as a Systems Analysis) to establish a body of knowledge for National, State and local recovery capabilities. This effort includes the full breadth of study necessary to identify gaps and compare and align them with other national efforts as well as provide program leadership the increased knowledgebase and situational awareness to support decision making for long term program tasks and investments.‐
Strategic Planning Gaps:• Lack of implementation plan for establishing regional recovery organizational structure• Lack of knowledge regarding impacts and tradeoffs across various remediation strategies• Lack of policy to determine clearance goals for outdoor environments in urban areas• Lack of process to integrate federal, state and local resources into a
remediation strategy
14
WARRP Systems Analysis Workshop on June 15, 2011 Disaster Management Institute, Community College of Aurora, Denver,
CO
Tactical Operations Gaps:• Lack of consensus on guidelines and standards to govern the development of
sampling plans for wide area environments• Lack of validated sampling and analysis methods for indoor and outdoor
materials• Lack of scalable options for wide-area decontamination• Lack of knowledge of process-based verification of decontamination• Lack of knowledge of decomposition products created during
decontamination• Lack of waste minimization policies, processes, and technologies
15
WARRP Tactical Operations Workshop on July 11, 2011 Environmental Protection Agency SMEs
Washington, DC
Draft Public Health Gaps:• Lack of evacuation/relocation management plan• Need for consistent public health messaging• Guidance needed to address long-term responder resiliency and
community mental health• Policy and guidance needed on environmental health/clearance
goal selection • Surveillance programs needed to monitor emergency responder
long-term health• Reconstitution of critical infrastructure and key lifelines (health
care maintenance and medical logistics)• Fatality management

Task 2: Framework Development Process and Outcomes:
Task 2 (4QFY11 through 1QFY13): Development of wide area consequence ‐management guidance to address integrated recovery and resiliency actions. The goal of this task is to develop/refine guidance and decision frameworks to include an all hazards consequence management framework containing specific CBR annexes. Specifically, a comprehensive multi level (Federal, State, local) regional ‐framework will be developed for the Denver urban area. This framework can be leveraged and transitioned to other parts of the United States and internationally, as applicable.

Task 3: Science and Technology Development Outcomes:
Task 3(2QFY11 through 1QFY13): Identify, develop/refine, demonstrate and transition technologies/standards supporting recovery planning and operations. An evaluation and down selection process may be employed during this task to‐ identify technically feasible, sustainable and deployable material and non material solutions.‐

Task 4: Workshops, Exercises and Demonstrations Outcomes:
Task 4 (2QFY11 through 1QFY13): Provide an exercise, workshop and demonstration function that will tie together all of the Program efforts. The goal of this task is to plan and conduct a series of workshops, exercises and demonstrations coordinating military and civilian community interoperability and practical application of technology and concepts of operation. These events will follow HSEEP Processes and documentation and will drive interaction, with very specific objectives to accomplish the construction of frameworks and socialization of technical approaches.

24
Task 5: Transition to Use Outcomes/Transition Scorecard
Task 5 (2QFY12 through 1QFY13): Supporting all of the above tasks will be an integration function that will manage the transition of guidance, frameworks and processes, and technology solutions to end users at all levels of government (to include regional UASIs). The goal is to develop Transition Agreements between the transitioning and sustaining organizations for all transitioning products. These efforts will also aid in building transition guidelines and frameworks for future transition efforts.

• Science and Technology efforts:• Identify, develop/refine, and demonstrate technologies/standards supporting recovery
planning and operations.
• Transition of Products:• All products created under DHS S&T during the WARRP program will have a “sustaining
organization” which will provide care and maintenance for the product’s lifetime.
• Five-Year Research and Development Roadmap for Wide Area Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Restoration• Recommendations coming out of the WARRP project will be summarized in a report and
submitted to the National Security Council as a research and developmental strategy.

Questions??
Short-term solutions– Solution is likely to be well defined with little technical development needed– Implementation is on the order of months to years– 1 to 2 years for solution development and implementation
Medium-term solutions– Solution is moderately defined, but some technical development is likely to be
required– Implementation times may vary depending on the solution type– 3 to 4 years for solution development and implementation
Long-term solutions– Solution is poorly defined and significant technical development is needed– Implementation is likely on the order of years– 5 + years for solution development and implementation
