OUR VIEW: Follow TRAC's roadmap

OUR VIEW: Follow TRAC's roadmap

The report was supposed to be released Monday to Gov. Robert Bentley, but, fittingly in a way, it was delayed by an outbreak of severe weather.

TRAC, which was formed after last year’s deadly outbreak of tornadoes, had meetings and gathered input from across the state. Its 117-page report on the state of the state’s preparedness, its response to the disasters, how to make warnings more effective and how the state has recovered contained 20 key recommendations.

Prime among those was to increase the number of storm shelters available to the public and make people aware of where they are; to offer incentives to homeowners and businesses to make safety improvements; to require that new apartment complexes and mobile home communities have shelters and to offer incentives for adding them to existing facilities; to establish statewide standards for construction of new, rebuilt and extensively remodeled homes; and to establish a tax-free holiday for storm-related items ahead of the peak tornado system.

The TRAC report is a good road map, and now state officials and lawmakers must act on the report’s recommendations. They must find a way to remove bureaucratic roadblocks to building new shelters (DeKalb and other counties still don’t have public shelters authorized after Hurricane Gustav in 2008) and establish the legislative methods and funding mechanisms, if needed, for the various incentive and education programs that were suggested.

Monday’s pre-dawn storms weren’t as devastating as last April’s were, but they did serve to heighten the attention the report got, sort of an exclamation point ahead of the report’s release.

Alabama’s residents also bear some responsibility for their own safety, the report said. Not all homeowners will be able to retrofit their homes with a safe room or storm shelter, but they can develop a preparedness plan and have an emergency supply kit. Those items don’t cost much, and they can save lives.

We also have to be willing to be aware of changing weather conditions and to heed warnings and sirens.

Knowing when to respond is as important as being prepared for that response.

West Point ready for anything

January 27th, 2012

West Point ready for anything

WEST POINT – If the Mayan apocalypse – or even just a bad power outage – happens in 2012, West Point is the place to be.

In the past year, West Point and surrounding communities have rallied to vote in a tax to keep professional firefighters on staff at the fire department, arranged to have a Red Cross emergency supply trailer stationed in town to speed the opening of evacuation shelters, trained volunteers to be able to open those shelters, and scheduled a communitywide emergency drill set for April.

The end result is that residents won’t have to wait for government relief workers to arrive, but they can set to work helping each other immediately during a disaster.

How did this happen in a remote region with high unemployment and fewer than 9,000 people scattered across hundreds of square miles of rugged forest terrain?

“It’s knowing we had a problem and figuring out who could do something about it,” said Steve Wilensky, a former firefighter who represents West Point on the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors.

The problem: Many isolated homes where residents could be trapped by blizzards or wildfires and the potential for long waits as distant government agencies marshal resources to help them.

One of those who helped figure out what to do is Dennis Lewis, a retired Lodi police officer who now chairs the Blue Mountain Emergency Preparedness Committee.

“We’ve been working on it for a number of years,” Lewis said, adding that Wilensky approached him more than six years ago. Since then, more than a dozen volunteers have stepped forward to form the core of the committee.

Those panelists and others have completed a variety of training, including a Federal Emergency Management Agency-recommended course for Community Emergency Response Teams.

The committee and other entities have cooperated to integrate volunteers into disaster plans.

Some volunteers knocked on doors and distributed magnetized containers so medically frail people could have their health information available to medics in an emergency. Others qualified for Ham radio operator licenses and connected the equipment to backup generators.

And they held an abundance of meetings to learn how to coordinate evacuations and other efforts with state, federal and local authorities.

“With all of this training behind us, now it is time to do an exercise so we know what we are doing,” Lewis said.

The drill plans have not been finalized, Lewis said, but that one scenario for the drill in April could involve a vehicle crash and a very large leaking propane tank near homes in Wilseyville.

The goal would be to see if volunteers could quickly evacuate residents and set up a relief center.

“This is neighbor-to-neighbor helping on a little bit bigger and coordinated scale,” said Jim Carroll, the chief of the West Point Fire District.

That’s exactly what state and federal authorities encourage in communities everywhere.

“Generally, for the first 72 hours of a disaster, citizens are on their own,” said Suu-Va Tai, disaster program specialist in California Volunteers, part of the state’s Office of the Governor.

Full-blown FEMA-recognized Citizen Corps councils such as the Blue Mountain group are rare. FEMA’s registry does not show any in San Joaquin County.

Tai said there are 65 Citizen Corps councils in California, but more than 250 registered agencies that provide CERT training. In San Joaquin County, the Tracy Fire Department is registered as a CERT training site.

Although such training may be more common in urban areas, it is actually most needed in rural areas, say experts. And that’s what makes West Point’s achievement notable.

“For the size of their area, they are very, very prepared,” said Debbie Calcote, an emergency services coordinator for Red Cross Capitol Region Chapter.

Calcote laughs and agrees when she’s asked if West Point is a good place to be when the world ends. “The folks up there are very dedicated.”

HHS aids development of next generation broad spectrum antibiotic

January 24th, 2012

HHS aids development of next generation broad spectrum antibiotic

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services today issued a contract for advanced development of a novel antibiotic that potentially could treat illnesses caused by biological threats, such as anthrax and plague, as well as treat bacterial pneumonia and certain life-threatening bacterial infections associated with prolonged hospitalization.

The advanced research and development of the new drug, called TP-434, is being supported under a contract to CUBRC, Inc. of Buffalo, N.Y., in partnership with Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals of Watertown, Mass. The contract, supported and managed by the HHS Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), is for $11.4 million in the first year and can be extended an additional four years, for a total of five years and up to a total value of $67.2 million.

Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals currently is developing TP-434, a member of the tetracycline class of antibiotics, to treat complicated intra-abdominal infections. Early research and development indicates that TP-434 also could be effective against bacteria known to be resistant to many other antibiotics, including other tetracyclines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Antibiotic resistance is a major concern in the healthcare community as well as a concern in responding to biological attacks.

The BARDA contract will support testing of TP-434 in clinical and animal studies as well as the fine-tuning of drug manufacturing. The contract also supports development of both oral and intravenous formulations of TP-434. Developing TP-434 in both oral and intravenous formulations will make it appropriate for use in severely ill patients who require intravenous treatment and during their recovery when oral therapy is appropriate.

“Protecting the nation against biological threats requires a wide variety of countermeasures, and we’ve found that an efficient way to develop such countermeasures is to focus on products that have both commercial and biodefense uses,” BARDA Director Robin Robinson explained. “This approach was recommended by the Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasure Enterprise Review which the Secretary released in 2010, and supporting the development of TP-434 reflects our ongoing commitment to multi-purpose products and the expansion of our antimicrobial portfolio for national preparedness.”

TP-434 is the fourth to be funded under the Broad Spectrum Antimicrobials Program led by BARDA. Recognizing the critical linkage to national bioterrorist preparedness, the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006 specifically identifies BARDA’s role in the development of broad spectrum antimicrobials. BARDA is seeking additional proposals for broad-spectrum antimicrobials that could potentially treat or prevent illness due to biological threat agents. Proposals are accepted through the Broad Agency Announcement BARDA-CBRN-BAA-11-100-SOL-00009 at www.fbo.gov.

HHS is the principal federal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) is a HHS leader in preparing the nation to respond to and recover from adverse health effects of emergencies, supporting communities’ ability to withstand adversity, strengthening health and response systems, and enhancing national health security.

Within ASPR, BARDA provides a comprehensive integrated portfolio approach to the advanced research and development, innovation, acquisition, and manufacturing infrastructure for vaccines, drugs, therapeutics, diagnostic tools, and non-pharmaceutical products for public health emergency threats. These threats include chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, pandemic influenza, and emerging infectious diseases.

Draft of Boulder County 'climate change preparedness plan' finished

January 23rd, 2012

Draft of Boulder County 'climate change preparedness plan' finishedIf you go

Two meetings are scheduled for the public to give feedback on the climate change preparedness plan, which can be read at bouldercounty.org.

What: Boulder public meeting

When: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday

Where: Third floor of the County Courthouse, 1325 Pearl St.

What: Longmont public meeting

When: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday

Where: Parks and Open Space building, 5201 St. Vrain Road

The snow that does pile up on the ground would melt earlier in the spring, changing the timing of peak runoff. It’s also likely that climate change will lead to more extreme summer downpours in Boulder County, more frequent heat waves and more sustained wildfires.

The question is what to do about it.

Water managers across the West have become increasingly aware of the possible impacts of climate change on their water supplies. A few years ago, the city of Boulder commissioned a study from Stratus Consulting to gauge the city’s vulnerability to global warming.

Last year, the city partnered with Boulder County to look beyond water to other climate change impacts.

Now, Boulder-based Stratus has finished a draft “climate change preparedness plan” for Boulder County and the city of Boulder, which outlines the possible impacts of a warming globe to the area’s emergency management, public health, agriculture and natural resources, as well as water supply.

“Water is a huge issue, but we need to look at it from areas on a broader scale,” said county spokesman Dan Rowland. “There hasn’t been a systematic look at what some of the vulnerabilities are, and we wanted to look at that.”

The county is holding two meetings this week — one in Boulder and one in Longmont — to solicit public comment on the 134-page report, which aims to help the city and county increase their resiliency in the face of a continued global increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

Stratus Consulting’s Jason Vogel, who helped prepare the report, said his team was able to tap into Boulder’s rich scientific community, including researchers at the Western Water Assessment, to determine possible impacts in Boulder County.

“We had a pretty deep bench on the science side,” he said. “It’s one of the beautiful things about living in Boulder.”

The report lays out possible impacts as well as policy recommendations and suggestions for areas of further study. Vogel said many of the policy suggestions focus on “no regrets” adaptations.

“Effectively, this means that even if the climate didn’t change, you would still get net benefits from taking the action,” he said.

For example, diversifying water supplies — having sources of water from more than one location — can allow water managers to continue to provide water to customers even if one source has been compromised by a disaster, such as sediment runoff from a wildfire.

“A major fire in the Boulder Creek watershed — the land we preserved up near the Continental Divide — could lead to serious water issues in town, which may or may not be related to climate change,” Vogel said. “But the actions you would take to prepare for that and mitigate the impacts of that are things that make a lot of sense.”

The report also calls for a holistic way of incorporating “the climate change question” into all of the county’s and city’s standard decision-making practices.

For example, if the county or city were to consider acquiring more agricultural lands for preservation, officials would likely take into consideration area population growth and development patterns. The new report argues that climate change should also now be a consideration.

“The idea is to mainstream it,” Vogel said. “In addition to thinking about, ‘How does the population change affect our agricultural priorities?’ you’d want to bring the climate question to bear.”

New Year's Resolutions for Small Businesses

January 16th, 2012

New Year's Resolutions for Small Businesses Many local businesses are still recovering from the repercussions of the April 2011 tornados that ripped through our area. Now is a great time to revisit and revise your emergency preparedness strategies and comprehensive business continuation plan.

Creating a disaster plan for your business is a great way to start the new year. Reacting efficiently to a natural disaster or emergency not only means ensuring the immediate safety of employees, but also planning how the business will continue to function in the aftermath. According to the Insurance Institute for Home and Business Safety, one in four small businesses forced to close because of a disaster never reopens.

After you’ve made plans to ensure the safety of your employees, BBB offers the following advice to help keep your business operating and meeting your customers’ needs in the wake of a disaster:

Don’t be caught off guard. Consider the different types of disasters — fire, flood, tornado, etc. — that can occur and how your business would respond differently to being displaced for a week, a month, or longer.

Know your surroundings. Determine alternate locations for your business to operate if you are displaced from your current building. This could mean enabling employees to work from home or finding an alternate location for your office or store.

Prepare your staff. Identify essential staff who are core to the operations of the business and keep a list of their phone numbers (home, work, pager, cell) and e-mail addresses that can be accessed by employees from several locations (home, Internet, etc.).

Communicate, Communicate, Communicate. Devise an emergency communications plan that outlines how your business will communicate with employees, customers, vendors and other key external contacts in the days following a disaster. Contact vendors and suppliers to confirm their emergency response plan procedures. Be prepared to use alternate vendors for essential supplies and equipment. Have your back-up equipment kept in good working condition. The website www.ready.gov has resources and tips on how to prepare your business in the event of an emergency, and how to write a comprehensive business emergency plan.

Have an up-to-date inventory of your assets. Review your insurance policies to ensure that you have adequate coverage for items you cannot afford to lose. A standard policy may not cover business interruption losses.

Store your documents safely and efficiently. Keep duplicates of personnel, payroll, payables and receivables and other essential records at an off-site location. Regularly make back-up copies of important computer files, and consider storing a set of those copies though an Internet storage site/data server.

Establish a succession of management for the company. Determine who will manage the company if key leaders are unavailable.

Long Beach Memorial Recognized As Distinguished Trauma, Burn Surge Program

January 15th, 2012

Long Beach Memorial Recognized As Distinguished Trauma, Burn Surge Program9:30am | Long Beach Memorial and Miller Childrens Hospital Long Beach were recently recognized for its outstanding Trauma/Burn Surge Program by the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP), U.S. Department of Health & Human Service and the Los Angeles County EMS Agency. The Trauma/Burn Surge Program ensures Long Beach Memorial and Miller Childrens are prepared for a disaster situation such as an earthquake, fire or any mass casualty crisis when a surge of patients will seek care at the hospital. The Trauma/Burn Surge Program is part of the comprehensive disaster program at Long Beach Memorial and Miller Childrens. The hospital also participates as a Disaster Resource Center (DRC) as part of the Hospital Preparedness Program.

It is an honor to be chosen by the LA County EMS Agency to represent the Trauma/Burn Surge Programs for LA County hospitals says Desiree Thomas, R.N., MSN, trauma educator/disaster surge coordinator. Were really proud of the programs and practices put in place to be a leading program in L.A.

The community agencies that evaluated the Trauma/Burn Surge Program at Long Beach Memorial were impressed by its comprehensive backup system in place for disaster situations. Supplies will be automatically deployed in a trauma/disaster surge. Paper medical forms and charts are on-hand if electronic systems go down, along with easy clinical staff response guidelines, with different instruction cards for each role. Also, the physical disaster task force is consistently trained and in-house individuals are designated to make decisions, when the usual communication systems are non-functional. The program is designed to be comprehensive and is continually evaluated, improved and refined to maintain and further the goal of continual readiness.

The Trauma/Burn Surge Program stands apart and includes many unique components such as extensive drills, practice, education and progressive equipment. Community agencies also got a chance to tour the blood bank and the state-of-the-art preparedness equipment Long Beach Memorial and Miller Childrens houses. HPP funds have been used to purchase important equipment to be used in patient care after a disaster. The funds have also been utilized to create roles that develop and hone the program, which includes an extensive number of educational offerings for physicians, nurses, and other support staff.

Thomas emphasizes the goal to educate and train everyday for trauma/disaster surge. If preparedness is learned and ingrained in everyday situations, staff will be prepared in a disaster situation, says Thomas.

Doctors at the heart of Cobb unit's success

January 15th, 2012

Doctors at the heart of Cobb unit's success MARIETTA — In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Cobb County’s medical community saw a need for a team of physicians to respond to local emergencies and disasters.

The result was the founding of the Medical Reserve Corp in 2007 by the Cobb County Medical Society. Since then, it has grown to include 56 area physicians, making it the only MRC in the state to be composed primarily of physicians, according to the group.

Although the county already had an active Community Emergency Response Team program, which educates citizen-volunteers on disaster preparedness and response, the MRC decided its physicians would best be utilized outside the constraints of CERT.

Today, volunteer physicians meet bi-monthly at Cobb Police headquarters in Marietta to train to respond to a wide range of natural and man-made disasters and emergencies, sometimes working with firefighters and police. They’re also working with personnel at Dobbins Force Reserve Base, which often responds to disaster evacuations.

“The firefighters can only go up to a certain point,” said Joanne Thurston, Cobb Medical Society executive director. “We’ll have to work together, but until this MRC was created, they never included the medical community because they didn’t know how to organize the physicians.”

Cobb’s MRC is composed of physicians from a variety of specialties, including cardiologists, pediatricians, pharmacists and even veterinarians to treat pets in a disaster. They’ve designed their own medical emergency “to-go kits” to carry in their cars.

The MRC’s training coordinator is Dr. Debi Dalton of Powder Springs, director of the pediatric emergency department at WellStar Cobb Hospital in Austell. She said the existence of the group is invaluable because it also eases the burden on the county’s emergency systems when an emergency hits, such as the H1N1, or swine flu, virus in 2009.

A 43-year-old Cobb woman was the first person in Georgia to die from the H1N1 virus.

“As soon as (people) developed a runny nose, they would run to the hospitals, and it really burdened the system,” Dalton recalled of the H1N1 episode. She said the MRC is ready to step in if a related pandemic were to break out.

“The government would be able to store medication to give to us, and we would be able to hand it out to the population so that they wouldn’t overwhelm the system,” she said.

Thurston said the MRC aims to be part of the first line of defense in the case of serious non-emergencies, as well.

“We plan to increase it with more doctors and do more training,” she said of the organization.

The MRC is also open to non-physicians. To learn how to become a MRC health volunteer, contact Joanne Thurston of the Cobb County Medical Society at joanne.thurston@cobbdoctors.org.
