EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Summary Following the City of Dillingham’s initial response phase to the COVID-19 pandemic, City officials initiated a project to update its community COVID-19 plan based on a “fit for purpose” approach that aligns with key City stakeholders such as the School District and Hospital. Based on feedback provided by City of Dillingham officials, City Council members and other community leaders, this project was undertaken with the following guiding principles: ● Mitigating the regional spread of COVID-19 to reduce the disease’s impact and the suffering it causes ● Monitoring, updating and implementing a “fit for purpose” approach to managing the City’s COVID response,

- focused on the safety and wellness of residents and visitors as they engage in daily routines; and - ensuring that local economic activity remains sustainable

● An approach based on collaboration and mutual respect by all stakeholders (i.e. residents and visitors) doing their part to mitigate transmission risks as they have since the pandemic began.

Methodology The City of Dillingham retained Pearson Consulting to assist with COVID-19 mitigation planning: ● being aware of the links and relationships between communities across the Bristol Bay region; ● knowing that friends, family and others often travel to and through Dillingham; ● understanding benefits of communities across the Bristol Bay region working together; and, ● recognizing the importance of engaging neighboring communities, tribal entities, and others for even greater alignment. Coordination in response to the pandemic could go on for some time until a COVID-19 vaccine is developed and distributed. This is a marathon and not a sprint . . . as is clear from ongoing interviews with the Dillingham community, Dillingham Census Area, and Bristol Bay region. The outreach conducted to date reinforced the usefulness of the draft mitigation plan (i.e. the matrix), as well as the importance that it be flexible and adaptable as required by the pandemic’s fluid dynamics. Recommendations: EOC – Engagement & Education -- Enforcement

1. Leverage the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) with regular check-ins as required by the developing situation

a. Rely on the current Operations Manager to prepare EOC agendas, as well as provide coordination and

communication

b. Confirm key EOC roles and accountabilities (note: Manager and Mayor are in Policy section per 2018

EOC plan) and clarify joint coordination with partners (i.e. issuance of integrated news releases)

which is the linchpin to:

2. Increase community Engagement & Education within the Dillingham Census Area and Bristol Bay Region

a. Reinforce critical messages in ongoing manner via PSAs and other communications platforms

b. Confirm that the “door is open” to input and feedback from key stakeholders across the region

c. Develop a dashboard with meaningful metrics

which is reinforced by:

3. Promoting social enforcement from peers (example: “You Matter. I Care. We Mask.”) and, as necessary, official

enforcement as calibrated by the EOC ( with everyone continuing to do their part since everyone is at risk and also a

risk carrier)

1.0 Recommendation: EOC – Engagement & Education -- Enforcement

1. Leverage the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) with regular check-ins as required by the developing situation

a. Rely on the current Operations Manager to prepare EOC agendas, as well as provide coordination and

communication

b. Confirm key EOC roles and accountabilities (note: Manager and Mayor are in Policy section per 2018

EOC plan) and clarify joint coordination with partners (i.e. issuance of integrated news releases)

---

who: the Incident Commander with the Policy Section (i.e. City Manager and Mayor) decide who, with what expertise, is

needed in the EOC.

__see organization chart in EOP 2018, page 10 . . . which is flexible with key players including:

health: a solid line (formal, preferred) or dotted line (informal)

a. BBAHC -- medical expertise regarding shifting from phase to phase

b. State of Alaska -- Public Health -- contact tracing

c. Capstone -- testing

what: the EOC is operational governance structure for handling

a. breaking events in the situation

b. operations and execution

c. recommendations for changes in ordinances and needs for resources

d. status updates to the public

e. reports to: City Manager and Mayor . . . who handle policy and report to the City Council

when: meets as frequently as they decide is needed

where: on a communications platform that works for everyone (teleconference / Zoom)

why: the EOC is the tried, tested, and proven structure for handling incidents (see NIMS)

how: focused, coordinated, timely, truthful conversations led by an Incident Commander

TIP: read about: High Reliability Organizations (HRO): Karl Weick and Kathleen Sutclliffe (Alaska)*, Managing the

Unexpected, 2007 -- firefighting crews, emergency operating rooms, aircraft carrier flight deck crews, nuclear power

plants, incident command [ *John Hopkins Medicine, fmr Dir. HSS, Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association]

a. Track small failures -- they tip you off to future large failures b. Resist oversimplification -- become even more mindful . . . think of the interconnections c. Remain sensitive to operations -- this is where the rubber hits the road d. Build capabilities for resilience -- learn always e. Take advantage of shifting locations of expertise

• Too much advance planning can actually get in the way -- people assume their mental model of the situation is shared by everyone else and they interpret events to fit their expectations . . . but are unconsciously incompetent (see: Dunning-Kruger effect; ladder of inference; learning organization)

• The person making decisions about how to solve a problem should be the person who knows the most about it – not the person who is highest on the organizational chart

• Stay in the conversation for one minute longer than may feel comfortable . . . and . . .

. . . consistently ask two open-ended (“what”) questions at the end of conversations: (at first feels odd, but the learning will go exponential) 1. value: “what was of greatest value to you in this conversation . . . in just a word or a phrase?”

2. continuous improvement: “what could I do that would make the next conversation even more valuable to you?”

which is the linchpin to:

2. Increase community Engagement & Education within the Dillingham Census Area and Bristol Bay Region

a. Reinforce critical messages in ongoing manner via PSAs and other communications platforms

b. Confirm that the “door is open” to input and feedback from key stakeholders across the region

c. Develop a dashboard with meaningful metrics

---

Who: EOC, Public Information Officers (PIO), Council, stakeholders (citizens, visitors, etc.)

What: Joint and consistent reinforcement of timely and critical messages (possibly via a Joint Information Center - JIC); continuous engagement with the community and region

When: ongoing through to exit from the pandemic

Where: multiple communication platforms and conversations

Why: there is a significant difference between wanting to survive and deciding to survive

How: multiple communication channels (Facebook, mail, radio) with emphasis on 1:1 relationships just like the COVID-19 virus is spread . . . word of mouth remains the single most powerful means of persuasive communication

TIPS:

Yupik survival tips that carry lessons . . . from Sam Gosuk, Yupik elder, Togiak: the world around you contains what you need (permission to share)

● “If caught in a blizzard with no snowdrift to crawl into for shelter and warmth, sit down on a skin on the ice with your back to the wind and it will blow a warm snowdrift around you . . . uncomfortable, but you will survive” (that which threatens you can be turned to an advantage)

● “If caught outdoors overnight with nothing for warmth, stuff grass down your pant legs for insulation.” (insulate yourself and your community with stories . . . stories warm like air trapped in the spaces close to you)

“The Elders at the last of the generation would come together and deliberate for months, asking themselves what wisdom they had learned in their generation and how it could be reflected in a story.” --Ilarion (Larry) Merculieff in Stop Talking: Indigenous Ways of Teaching and Learning and Difficult Dialogues in Higher Education, 2013 with Libby Roderick. Peter deLisser’s Communication Principles, author of Be Your Own Executive Coach, 1999:

● I accept 100% responsibility for my listening and speaking, no matter what the other person is doing.

● We need to bridge the 650 wpm listening gap . . . between "fantasy" -- what we think about, and "reality" -- what person actually said . . . we can listen at 750-950 wpm but people speak at 150 to 250 wpm

● When we become skilled listeners, we discover how much we miss in life -- relationships, information, self-esteem.

which is reinforced by:

3. Promoting social enforcement from peers (example: “You Matter. I Care. We Mask.”) and, as necessary, official

enforcement as calibrated by the EOC ( with everyone continuing to do their part since everyone is at risk and

also a risk carrier)

Who: citizens; EOC, City of Dillingham and partners

What: consistent reinforcement of timely and critical messages

When: ongoing and at key moments

Where: multiple communication platforms

Why: people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care

How: messaging both verbal and non-verbally . . . example: just keeping 6 feet apart is a nonverbal message

TIPS: Pass on history: “Grandfather buried people during the 1919 Flu Epidemic.” (he did) Encourage behavior change: “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink . . . however, you CAN make it thirsty.” Genuinely connect . . . video: Chris Voss - 3 Tips on Negotiations -- FBI hostage negotiator -- mirroring at 2:40 min -- 6:50 min total --repeat the last 1-3 words (or selected 1-3 words) of person in order to better connect and to understand their position Read and listen to: (it’s that valuable . . . practical tips and stories of how to put positive energy into groups) The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups, Daniel Coyle, 2018 -- 7 hrs // 4 hrs if you listen to it at 1.75 speed . . . we are capable of listening 4-5x faster than people usually speak Three key skills: skill 1—Build Safety — explores how signals of connection generate bonds of belonging and identity skill 2—Share Vulnerability — explains how habits of mutual risk drive trusting cooperation skill 3—Establish Purpose — tells how narratives create shared goals and values Consider sending letters to the 1,200 to 1,500 commercial fishermen who come to Dillingham in advance of the 2021 fishing season. Let them know what to expect and to prepare for. Many consider Dillingham a second home. They’re as much a part of the community as the salmon. Remember the Yup'ik word: "Nutaanatam" -- (newt-don-a-tum) which means: "totally cool!!!, awesome!!!, wonderful!!!" . . . because there is always sun above the clouds.

article:

When will the COVID-19 pandemic end? McKinsey & Company September 21, 2020

epidemiological end point: most likely time for the United States to achieve herd immunity is the third or fourth quarter

of 2021 ( most optimistic: 2Q 2021 . . . at worst, long-tail possibility into 2023 and beyond )

normalcy end point: first or second quarter of 2021

The epidemiological end point

Based on our reading of the current state of the variables and their likely progress in the coming months, we estimate that

the most likely time for the United States to achieve herd immunity is the third or fourth quarter of 2021. As we

wrote in July 2020, one or more vaccines may receive US Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization

before the end of 2020 (or early in 2021) and the granting of a Biologics License Application (also known as approval)

during the first quarter of 2021.

Vaccine distribution to a sufficient portion of a population to induce herd immunity could take place in as few as six

months. That will call for rapid availability of hundreds of millions of doses, functioning vaccine supply chains, and

peoples’ willingness to be vaccinated during the first half of 2021. We believe that those are all reasonable expectations,

based on public statements from vaccine manufacturers and the results of surveys on consumer sentiment about

vaccines.

Herd immunity could be reached as soon as the second quarter of 2021 if vaccines are highly effective and launched

smoothly or if significant cross-immunity is discovered in a population. On the other hand, the epidemiological end of the

pandemic might not be reached until 2022 or later if the early vaccine candidates have efficacy or safety issues—or if their

distribution and adoption are slow. At worst, we see a long-tail possibility that the United States could be still battling

COVID-19 into 2023 and beyond if a constellation of factors (such as low efficacy of vaccines and a short duration of

natural immunity) align against us.

The transition to normal

The second end point of the pandemic may be reached earlier than the first. We estimate that the mostly likely time for

this to occur is the first or second quarter of 2021 in the United States and other advanced economies. The key factor is

diminished mortality. Society has grown used to tracking the number of COVID-19 infections (the case count). But case

counts matter primarily because people are dying from the disease and because those who survive it may suffer long-

term health consequences after infection. The latter is an area of scientific uncertainty, but there is concern that some

recovered patients will face long-term effects.

7. RESILIENCE: mental strength under conditions of extreme duress

Balance optimism with realism. And take one day at a time . . . James Stockdale, eight years as highest ranking POW . . . Stockdale Paradox: A Message for Uncertain Times, Mar 31, 2020 via Jim Collins video: 6:41 min

Creativity is key . . . E. Paul Torrance on survival training and POWs.

Shaughnessy, Michael (1998). An Interview with E.Paul Torrance: About Creativity. Educational Psychology Review. 10. 441-452. “The truly creative is always that which cannot be taught. Yet creativity cannot come from the untaught. Creative solutions to air-crew survival situations required imaginatively gifted recombination of old elements (information about how the American Indians had lived off the land, how the early explorers survived in the Arctic, how many survived shipwreck, how airmen in World War I and II had escaped and evaded, etc.) into a new configuration--what is required now. The elements of a creative solution can be taught, but the creativity itself must be self-discovered and self-disciplined.” Genter, Robert (2015). Understanding The POW Experience: Stress Research And The Implementation of the 1955 U.S. Armed Forces Code Of Conduct. Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, Vol. 51(2), 141–16 In putting together survival courses for the U.S. Military, “Torrance outlined those attitudes that impacted survival chances, a list that borrowed heavily from the list of defense mechanisms crafted by ego psychologists. Productive attitudes included “flexibility” and “appropriate release of aggression,” while negative attitudes included “panic-like behavior” and “loss of will” (Torrance, 1956a, p. 1). Torrance focused on instilling in trainees the proper state of “readiness” for survival, which included training in basic survival skills, practical application of such skills, and maintenance of larger goals to moderate anxieties (Torrance, 1954a, p. 61). Through such training, trainees would develop a basic “will-to-survive,” which Torrance defined, using the lens of ego psychology, as “continued adaptive behavior and the successful control of internal tensions” (Torrance,1955b, p. 16).” E. Paul Torrance designed the Future Problem Solving Program that UAF/Bristol Bay Campus professor George Guthridge wrote about in The Kids From Nowhere, 2006 . . . the 10 kids from Gambell, Alaska who took top honors in the Future Program Solving Program competition in 1984 . . . the leading creativity and academic competition in the U.S.

Understand the paradox of hope. Frankel, Vicktor (1946). In Man’s Search for Meaning, via Hope: a paradox by Robert Kishaba: “Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl spent time as a prisoner at various concentration camps during WWII. He writes that between Christmas 1944 and New Year’s 1945 the camp’s sick ward experienced a death rate “beyond all previous experience,” not due to a food shortage or worse living conditions, but because, “the majority of the prisoners had lived in the naïve hope that they would be home again by Christmas.” When this hope was unmet, prisoners found no reason to continue holding on, nothing to look forward to. When a mind lets go, so does its body.”

Watch out for the third quarter . . . a quantifiable drop in morale and mood after the midway point. (seen at high Arctic weather stations and the Antarctic where the midpoint is actually known) in

Geiger, John (2010). The Third Man Factor: Surviving the Impossible. p. 24. And in extreme duress: Ernest Shackleton in South: “When I look back at those days I have no doubt that Providence guided us, not only across those snowfields, but across the storm-white sea that separated Elephant Island from our landing-place on South Georgia. I know that during that long and racking march of thirty-six hours over the unnamed mountains and glaciers of South Georgia it seemed to me often that we were four, not three. I said nothing to my companions on the point, but afterwards Worsley said to me, “Boss, I had a curious feeling on the march that there was another person with us.” Crean confessed to the same idea. One feels “the dearth of human words, the roughness of mortal speech” in trying to describe things intangible, but a record of our journeys would be incomplete without a reference to a subject very near to our hearts.”

Place a premium on every action . . . it reveals actual inward character. Gilkey, Langton (1966). Shantung Compound: the story of men and women under pressure. “A marginal existence neither improves men nor makes them wicked; it places a premium on every action, and in doing so reveals the actual inward character that every man has always possessed.” “This book is about the life of a civilian internment camp in North China during the war against Japan . . . Because internment-camp life seems to reveal more clearly than does ordinary experience the anatomy of man’s common social and moral problems and the bases of human communal existence, this book finally has been written.” ―Langdon Gilkey Richard Subber, reviewer: “This is the most provocative book I’ve read in my adult life.” note: Eric Liddell, the Scottish runner in Chariots of Fire, was a missionary teacher also held the camp. He focused on the psychological and physical survival of the children, teenagers, and elderly by organizing games and teaching science and Bible classes. He succumbed to a brain tumor five months before liberation with the words, “It’s complete surrender.”

9. RELEVANT QUOTES:

When an elder dies, a storehouse of wisdom, culture, and meaning disappears. in Ilarion (Larry) Merculieff, Libby Roderick, Stop Talking: Indigenous Ways of Teaching and Learning and Difficult Dialogues in Higher Education, 2013 A successful response “is never going to be one thing done perfectly. It’ll be a lot of different things done well enough.” -- Natalie E. Dean, PhD, @nataliexdean, Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at, @UF specializing in emerging infectious diseases and vaccine study design. @HarvardBiostats, PhD. University of Florida "The ability to deal with a crisis situation is largely dependent on the structures that have been developed before chaos

arrives. The event can in some ways be considered as an abrupt and brutal audit: at a moment's notice everything

that was left unprepared becomes a complex problem and every weakness comes rushing to the forefront.” --Pat Lagadec in Managing the Unexpected: Resilient Performance in an Age of Uncertainty by Karl E. Weick, Kathleen M. Sutcliffe, 2007

“All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.” --19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer “A team is only as strong as its checklist.” --Atul Gawande, The Checklist Manifesto, 2008 Where are you going? (Quo vadis?) Question everything. (Qquae quaestio) “There are two kinds of Arctic problems, the imaginary and the real. Of the two, the imaginary are the most real.” --Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Canadian Arctic explorer and author (1879-1962),in The Arctic in Fact and Fable

“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” --William H. Whyte From Tim Pearson: Dedicated to Sam Ailak (1911 - 1983) of McKinley Creek on Grantley Harbor, Teller, Alaska who was an eight-year-old orphan of the 1918 Flu Epidemic and my first mentor the winter of 1973-1974. He was fluent in Iñupiaq, English, and Norwegian (from the orphanage). He taught how to set herring nets under the sea ice. In so doing he first introduced me to the true art of listening at the age of 14. He spoke hardly any words other than, “Want to go set herring nets?” And “Quyanaq” (thank you in Iñupiaq) to all the other elders, including: Grandma Eyuk, Grandma Kugzruk, Gussie Topkok, David and Annie Kakaruk, Maggie Foster, Sarah Kakaruk, Norbert Kakaruk, Willie Kugzruk, Johanna Ablowaluk, Spike and Queenie Milligrok, and Vincent Okleasik. Life truly takes a village.
