a. Sponsors: This program is co-sponsored for Military and Federal GETN subscribers by The South Central Center for Public Health Preparedness in partnership with the Alabama Department of Public Health and Department of Defense Medical Interagency Satellite Network with the technical support of the Satellite Education Network (SEN) at Ft. Lee, VA.
b. Availability: This program will be available to military and federal GETN/MIST sites that have GETN/ATN/Warrior digital satellite downlinks. A listing of potential GETN receive sites can be seen here: GETN Site Locations.
MIST affiliate satellite networks such as the VA’s Employee Education System and the Department of Justice Television Network may also carry this program but IAW with their own scheduling.
There is C/Ku Band analog satellite availability for this program and coordinates will be included in the final confirmation message sent 24-48 hours prior to broadcast.
Videoconferencing may be available to selected military and federal VTC sites using the USA TNET or the USN CNET networks and other VTC networks able to connect to this satellite feed. Site coordinators using VTC are responsible for their own bridge coordination.
Will this program be Webcast? Yes, instructions in final confirmation sent out 24 – 48 hours prior.
c. Target Audience Statement: The target audience for this program will be first responders; state and local public health professionals and their partners with whom they will need to communicate in a public health emergency; community planners; command and control personnel; public health and medical students.
d. Program Description: Effective response to a terrorist WMD attack depends, in large part, on the capability of local responding agencies to rapidly focus available assets in accordance with valid operational plans to save lives and mitigate injury to the greatest extent possible. This program proposes a framework for emergency management and response based on the principles of counter-terrorist preparation and incident command. Following this framework will result in the timely marshalling and effective utilization of available assets in accordance with pre-established plans reflecting accepted guidelines and standards within a logistics, personnel and communications infrastructure that is designed to ensure robust and reliable intervention. Additionally, this model emphasizes the importance of effective community action in maintaining a state of civil order and facilitating the focus of resources. Lifesaving community action enabled by appropriate planning and effective management is discussed in the context of employing proposed response models in dealing with the consequences of actual disaster resulting from terrorist use of Biological, Chemical or Radiological Weapons.
e. Program Objectives:
1. Define “Prevention” in the context of potential terrorist use of WMD.
2. List the elements involved in effective preparation.
3. Explain how the priority of life saving imposes urgencies and constraints on disaster response.
4. Name the actions necessary to achieve timely and effective intervention.
5. Describe the standards for cooperation between responding agencies.
6. Explain the infrastructure requirements for adequate preparation.
7. Describe the scope and scale of capabilities necessitated by a WMD terrorist threat.
8. Explain the importance and implementation of effective follow-through and follow-on.
