Unit 3 IEMP and PEMS
Goals:

Understand phases of emergency
 Before the emergency (Mitigation, Prevention, and
Preparedness)
 During the emergency (Response and Recovery)
 After the emergency (Termination and Mitigation)

Parallels of PEMS with emergency management
IEMP and PEMS

Overview

4 phases of Emergency
Management
Mitigation
Preparedness/
Prevention
 definitions
 PEMS through various
phases
Recovery
Response
Mitigation Phase

Reduce or eliminate the hazard
 i.e., Safety Program

Before a disaster:
 Identify potential hazards / emergencies
 Implement measures (install BDS, move equipment
out of flood-prone areas, etc.)

Post disaster:
 Produce an “after actions” report to determine future
mitigation actions
Mitigation Phase

Mitigation through PEMS
 Development of PEMS
 Analysis of records in PEMS
- Incident trend analysis at installation, district and HQ
- Developments of new PEMS requirements and
functionality
Prevention Phase

Deters potential incidents
 Law enforcement
- Role of USPIS
Preparedness Phase

Readiness for response to hazards that have not been
mitigated away

Establish roles and responsibilities

Develop plans

Provide training and drills

Upload IEMP
Prevention / Preparedness Phase
EMT Objectives

Coordinates USPS management for any emergency
within an ICS structure

Protects facility employees and operations

Primary point of contact for internal and external
emergency responders

Provides support and resources to emergency site

Communication vehicle between key officials &
stakeholders (internal / external)

Response Phase
Response Phase of an Event
EVENT
Escalate / Actionable Report
activates EMT
information pushed to you
Escalation Not Necessary / Recordable Report
documents event information you can pull
Response Phase

PEMS as tool during response phase
 Notification notify emergency response and
management personnel; report emergencies; data
gathering through incident reporting
 Activation communicate effectively with emergency
management and response teams
 Response actions prompted through IEMP annexes
Recovery Phase

The effort to restore operations to normal

Incorporates mitigation as a goal

Divided into two stages:
 Recovery: Bringing necessary systems or operations up to an
acceptable standard
- i.e., processing mail at an alternate facility
 Termination: Event is closed
- After Action Report
- Feeds into mitigation phase
Closing
