<td>EMS resources were coordinated through the regional medical operations center.</td>
<td>We had 2 EMS strategies: (1) 24/7 ALS ground ambulance for emergency transports (2) 24/7 BLS/ALS ground ambulance for routine/ scheduled transports</td>
<td>Local EMS reps were at the ACF</td>

<tr valign="top">
<td scope="row">Other Command Issues?</td>
<td>Yes I believe that true IC has to come from local municipalities but medical command of a specific clinic should come from the resource supplying the service. Most importantly the resource must be knowledgeable experienced, and capable of handling the response&#8212;the response should NEVER be recreated by another resource that has no knowledge or experience in the response [redacted]</td>
<td>Command &amp; control was key with necessity to consider extending NIMS/ICS to anticipated partners; credentialing of medical personnel; restricting access to shelters and ACF for appropriate persons.</td>
<td>1) Command staff were not relieved of their daily job function to perform oversight/command functions. These docs worked virtually 24-7 for the entire duration including working their scheduled ED shifts. 2) Use of ICS structure for running the ACF was a significant help in organizing the medical response</td>
<td>Seems the biggest question is who &quot;owns&quot; it - who is responsible in the end - is it the ranking physician or local health or State health depts?</td>
<td>There needs to be not only a command structure but also a continued hierarchy above - this is so questions can be answered and decisions made to help facilitate. Ex: ops need guidance or they will [indecipherable] too much and be overwhelmed. [redacted]</td>
<td>Should be a physician (IC) - not hospital administrator.</td>
<td>The structure was similar to the management structure @ VA hospital</td>
<td>Need adaptability. Need &quot;connectors&quot; who can marshal resources and/or know where to seek them. Suspend rules and take risks. Never say no to a disaster related need if no one else can address that need.</td>
<td>Ensure before the shelter is established that there is a clear organizational structure &amp; that this information is available to the evacuees &amp; local community. All command staff should wear ID clothing to identify them.</td>
<td>There will have to be accords reached between the command of the ACF and the medical operations decision making portion of the ACF.</td>

<td>Planning for more security personnel at the beginning of the event, education of security personnel for restricted access to sensitive areas, badging/ identification of ACF staff so security could easily determine who required access and who did not.</td>
<td>The ACF was co-located within a large city shelter. The security element provided for the shelter then was easily shared between the two operations (shelter and ACF)</td>
<td>Initially only had campus security - so male students were enlisted to &quot;look like&quot; security. Once National Guard arrived they set a perimeter and actually placed a temporary fence around entire area</td>
<td>.</td>
<td>We used our own local police - they travel with us. All on SWAT team and all sworn as US Marshals (allows jurisdiction over county lines).</td>
<td>We anticipated the need of visible security presence and requested additional support. The enforcement staff came slowly and with much confusion. We also gave staff sensitivity training before they were deployed.</td>
<td>Have a metal detector.</td>
<td>Local State guard, campus police &amp; city police very helpful.</td>
