As recent experience in the Gulf Coast has shown: Disaster response plans must be made with the assumption that, after an event, all standard forms of communications will not exist…… No Telephone services No Cellular services No Public Safety or Commercial radio services No ground based services of any kind, except simplex radio to radio service. No local utilities (power) © 2006 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. Session 809 3

Disaster Response Process The three steps of a Disaster Response: Step One: Emergency Notification – You must be able to quickly notify your response team when and where they need to report for a crisis response and the agency must be able to validate what employees are able to respond and by when. This information must be communicated in every means possible – telephone, cellular, email, texting, paging, radio service, and voice mail. Step Two: Resource Mobilization You must be able to quickly deploy communication equipment to a disaster site regardless of the location. This requires highly mobile equipment that can be towed, driven, or air lifted to a disaster location. Step Three: Emergency Communications and Response Upon reaching a disaster site, you must be able to quickly establish communications totally independent of all normal local resources and provide a continuous power supply to keep these resources operational indefinitely. © 2006 Avaya Inc.

The standard in the industry has been to a provide mobile command post. A bus or travel trailer with control stations and consoles for replacing the dispatch center that is no longer in operation. What have we learned about these type of solutions? • They are very expensive with a good portion of the investment in the vehicle or trailer. • They are not capable of reaching certain disaster sites • The vehicle becomes a point of failure • Require special driver’s license limiting who can drive the vehicle MERC and PERC the solution – an inexpensive small light weight trailer or mobile cabinet equipped with all the communication equipment required to respond to a disaster and can be towed or transported by most standard vehicles or air lifted when necessary. © 2006 Avaya Inc.
