Transcript Lawrence County EMA - Welcome to District 8 Indiana

District Eight Planning And Response Team
Strategic Plan
Summary
The “District Eight Planning and Response Team” (DEPART) is the direct result of a multidiscipline member exercise committee that is now working collectively to provide a district
planning team resource to respond to emergencies, as requested. Committee members saw
the need to organize personnel and resources to respond to and assist in disasters. As a result
of Hurricane Katrina, and the tornadoes in southern Indiana, it has been recognized that
organized teams are needed to assist in many different areas during an event. The committee
sees the DEPART resource as another step toward the development of the District 8 Planning
Council.
This document is a summary of committee discussion conclusions, sets the direction for the
continued growth and development of District Eight, and addresses all aspects of the
DEPART functions.

DEPART Scope
• During emergencies, the scope of the DEPART Team is to assist local
jurisdictional agencies with logistics, resources, and planning support
using the National Incident Management System. The team is made up
of volunteers. No request for reimbursement will be requested for the
first 48 hours, reimbursement may be requested after that time
depending on availability of volunteer resources. The team will
support, not direct, local authorities in their decision making process.
In non-emergency settings the team will plan, train, and exercise.
DEPART will create and update a district resource list for local agency
assistance.
