Emergency Management Operations -ICS Flashcards
use of C4I
primary means by which regional communicates and coordinates during a major disaster, local exercise, chats/message traffic between base and Regional Operations Center
*all-hazards approach to threats, multi-tiered approach to Situational Awareness to support security/safety/integrity of Navy establishments/forces
ROC
Regional Operations Center
why was C4I developed
a C2 tool to assist in maintaining the security/integrity of the shore establishment
purpose of the C4I suite (webpage)
connecting network, C2 functionality, information management and associated reporting and other functional requirements in one integrated system
*electronic/coordinated application to connect locations to coordinate/connect to help w/exchange of info
3 versions of the C4I Suite
- all have same basic functions
- differences based on
- intended use: Operational versus Training
- classification: NIPR or SIPR

position-specific checklists and information for EOC members
how to find more about your specific responsibilities within the EOC?
“Battle Books”
3 overall keys to EOC success
teamwork, best practices, deliverables
what kind of objectives should an EOC develop
SMART-A objectives
strategies to update ALCON
- periodic update of major news (“Attention in the EOC”)
- round robin planned update by sections at a specific time
- OPS section chief periodic SA updates
- CO’s assessment brief and updates (major issues/decision points/commnder’s intent
- “make walls talk” w/key information displayed on walls
- minimize stimulation during meetings (giant voice ant AtHoc during traiing)
how can you communicate w/HQ
C4I Suite online fucntion
ways to do periodic EPI updates

“Mass Warning & Notification”
*NOTIFICATION TOOLS: Giant voice, internal building system, WAAN, CDNS, PA system, social media, HAM radio, Emergency Alert System, GETS, WPS
how quickly after an emergency is reported should affected DoD populations be notified if the event requires immediate attention
within 2 minutes
how quickly should all members of the Emergency Management team be notified after an emergency requiring immediate attention is received
100% of Emergency Management people/resources must know in under 10 minutes
how quickly should the target audience of DoD population be notified post emergency if they need to take immediate action
90% of the target population should know with 10 minutes
timeline of how quickly the MWN (Mass Warning & Notification) system should get world out about an emergency post notification
- 2 MIN: alert notification to all affected DoD population who must take immediate action
- under 10 MIN: 90% of the targeted pop is notified & 100% of all emergency responders
