Psychological vs. Medical “Footprint”
The size of the psychological “footprint” greatly exceeds medical “footprint”

Statewide Catastrophic Health Incident
Response Plan (CHIRP)“Chance favors the prepared mind.”
Louis Pasteur
7
CHIRP ScopeA catastrophic incident may result from:
natural events (hurricanes, floods, etc.)large-scale accidents such as a plane crash manmade/terrorism events
Size of incident is not the determining factor, capacity and capability to respond is most important factor
8
CHIRP ProvisionsProvides for:
Incident response strategy• Preparedness, prevention, response, recovery
Roles and responsibilities
Coordination of regional response
Alternate Care Sites• Expansion of medical care capacity and capability
9
Statewide CHIRPAll hazards plan utilizing principles from;
National Response Framework (NRF)National Incident Management System (NIMS)National Preparedness Guidance (NPG)
Incorporate plans and resource from regional:
Law enforcement, emergency management, EMS, fire/rescue, hospitals, and public health
10
Statewide CHIRPConcept of operations
Develop, exercise and maintain regional catastrophic response plans which support local plans, and draw on regional, state, and federal assets
Catastrophic Incident Response Plansreside at the regional level
11
Regional CHIRP Provisions
Incident management priorities
Protect, restore critical infrastructure, resourcesConduct law enforcement operationsProtect property, mitigate impactsFacilitate recovery

12
Operational GoalsProvide chain of commandAttend to all victimsMinimize injury/illness, damage/loss of property & recordsProvide maximum safetyIntegrate with community emergency plansMaintain and restore normal servicesProvide supportive action
All operational goals are built into the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)

Minimum 100 total casualties per incident
Smaller Urban AreasMinimum 250 total casualties

Major Urban Areas500 casualties per million

Planning AssumptionsCHIRP will knit together existing plans, not replace them.
Agency Mass Casualty Plans• Fire Departments and EMS Agencies• Hospitals• Law Enforcement Agencies
Field Operations Guide (FOG)Medical Examiner Disaster PlansMMRS Regional MCI Plans

Assumptions Triage / Treatment
Basic Principles of Disaster Medicine must applyLevel of care will be less than day to day medicine as we know it
StandardsWill see and care for larger patient / staff ratios

Injury Severity10 percent immediate deaths
Of those surviving:20 percent emergent (severe multi-system injuries)30 percent urgent (able to defer definitive treatment once stabilized)50 percent mild or moderate (the “walking wounded’)

Practical Options
Expand viaMobile facilities-expand in place or deploy to incident siteConvert existing buildings to temporary hospitalsUse of shuttered hospitals [closed, obsolete,mothballed, bankrupt, etc.]Add beds to existing facilitiesBuild temporary facilities Develop protocols addressing emergency standard of care procedures
