State Support of EMAC
• Designate personnel to
support EMAC
• Define roles &
responsibilities (in-state)
Implementing EMAC
EMAC Process: Step # 1
Preparing upfront will
get resources
deployed faster and
more accurately
Escalated Response
• National Model Intrastate Mutual Aid
Agreement that compliments EMAC for a
seamless escalation of the response.
• Working with disciplines to develop
implementation plans at the intrastate level
Resource Typing
• National Incident Management System (NIMS)
– Resource: Personnel, teams and major items of
equipment available for assignment to incidents.
– Category: Function where resource is most useful
– Kind: broad category of like resources, such as
teams, personnel, equipment, supplies, vehicles,
and aircraft
– Component: A part of the resource
– Metric: standard of measurement
– Type: Level of capability
Mission Packages
• It is how resources are requested during events!
• The Step after Resource Typing:
• Identifies the Resource Type, the mission, cost,
logistics, etc.
• Identifies, evaluates and documents the knowledge,
skills and abilities of personnel (aka Credentials) who
will deploy on the team.
Mission Packaging
Mission Packaging
Mission Package Example
BASIC LIFE SUPPORT TRANSPORT PACKAGE
k.
ESTIMATED COST PER DAY: PERSONNEL $ 4,800.00
EQUIPMENT COSTS: $ 5,160.00
TOTAL: $9960.00
Mission Package Status
• Delivered 92 mission packages to FEMA
• Being reviewed by FEMA Project Support
Team (Working Group)
• Continue to develop mission packages for
deployable resources
– First Focus: Work with Disciplines through the
EMAC Advisory Group
• Continuity of Government Teams
Why Mission Packaging
Works: Credentialing
• Use Resource Typing to Build the Mission
Packages
• Within the Mission Package: Assign personnel
that have the skills, knowledge, and abilities
• Resource Owner Registries
– Verify professional licenses/certificates, etc.
– De-list from mission package
Credentialing
• When Deploy: Arrive at Staging Area with
State Issued Photo ID, Agency Issued ID, and
EMAC Mission Documentation
• Assign event identification (badge, arm band,
etc.) at Staging Area
• Leave event identification at Staging Area
when demobilized
EMAC Process: Steps 2 & 3
EMAC Process begins
with a Governor’s
