PERSPECTIVE IN MOST COMMUNITIES A “ROUTINE” ACCIDENT
IS THE GREATEST RISK RESPONDERS, PUBLIC & WORKERS STILL ROUTINELY HURT RELIANCE ON STANDARDS, LISTS & THRESHOLDS TO DEFINE
RISK PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY
EXPECTATIONS
KNOWING THE PHONE NUMBER FOR “911” IS NOT A PREPAREDNESS PLAN
WHAT IS CEPP ?
COLORADO NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION IRS APPROVED 501(c)(3) ENTITY FOUNDED BY SEVERAL BUSINESSES AND
FOUNDATIONS ALL HAZARDS FOCUS NOT FOCUSED ON TERRORISM OR THE DHS
MISSION OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION THAT WOULD BE TOO NARROW
WHY NOT A DHS FOCUS? TOO OPAQUE & TOO EASY FOR COMPANIES
TO CONCLUDE THEY AREN’T INVOLVED“Infrastructure resilience is the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events. The effectiveness of a resilient infrastructure or enterprise depends upon its ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from a potentially disruptive event. “
CEPP IS A MEMBER OF THE REGIONAL CONSORTIUM OF COORDINATING COUNCILS CREATED BY DHS What is the point?
WHY DHS IS WRONG
FEMA GUIDANCE – CPG 101
“When threatened by … emergencies or disasters, people expect elected or appointed leaders to take immediate action...
They expect the government to marshal its resources… and solicit assistance from outside the jurisdiction if necessary.
The elected leaders in each jurisdiction are legally responsible for ensuring that … actions are taken to protect people ...”
EMERGENCY INCIDENTS PRESENT A CONTINUUM OF NEEDS
- GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO ALL OF THIS
PLANNING & PREPARING
7
EFFECTIVE AND SAFE RESPONSE
PREVENTION AND MITIGATION
RECOVERY
WHAT’S WRONG - STATE & LOCAL
CURRENT PROGRAMS UNDERMINE PREPAREDNESS AS MUCH AS SUPPORT IT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC & BUSINESSES EXCLUDED
NO ROLE IN OFFICIAL PLANS
A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BECAUSE RISKS ARE MINIMIZED
UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT GOVERNMENT CAN DO BECAUSE CAPABILITIES AREN’T REALISTICALLY DESCRIBED
PREPAREDNESS GUIDANCE IN “OFFICIAL” SOURCES IS GENERIC AND ABSTRACT
SOLUTIONS – KEY ELEMENTS
GOVERNMENT CANNOT MANDATE PREPAREDNESS
PROVE THE “BUSINESS CASE” FOR PREPAREDNESS
RISKS & CAPABILITIES NEED TO BE UNDERSTOOD LOCALLY
PLANNING NEEDS TO BE A COMMUNITY PROCESS
COMMUNICATE A PRAGMATIC VIEW OF COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS

ORDINARY SKILLS CAN BE APPLIED TO EXTRAORDINARY SITUATIONS
YOU DON’T NEED EXPENSIVE STUFF
YOU DON’T NEED HOURS AND HOURS OF TRAINING
YOU NEED PLANNING AND FORESIGHT
THINK OUT SCENARIOS IN ADVANCE
WORST CASE AND OTHERS
EXPECTATIONS OF PARTNERSHIPS
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS ARE ONLY A TOOL
SO, WHAT IS IT WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS TOOL?
“VISION OF SUCCESS”
“VISION”What Does Success Look Like? COMMUNITY SPECIFIC ASPIRATIONAL GOAL THAT SHOULD SET THE
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES FOR THE WORK DONE BY THE PARTNERSHIP
SHOULD DRIVE THE COMMUNITY’S STRATEGIC PLANS TO FILL CAPABILITY GAPS
ENGAGED COMMUNITY WITH A BROAD SAFETY AND PREPAREDNESS CULTURE
MAINTAIN ENGAGEMENT BY ACTIVITIES THAT PRODUCE MEASURABLE OUTCOMES Do “activities” that produce “outcomes” with
measures that show progress to the VISION Example
Commodity flow studies are common activities
What outcome do you expect it to produce?
Is that outcome meaningful?
Measure that outcome
Adjust
THE BUSINESS CASE
GOVERNMENT CANNOT PROTECT US FROM EVERYTHING
KNOWING THE PHONE NUMBER FOR “911” IS NOT AN EMERGENCY PLAN
COMPANIES NEED TO IMPROVE “RISK QUALITY” TO ATTRACT INVESTMENT “RISK QUALITY” IS A CLEAR INDICATOR OF MANAGEMENT
SOPHISTICATION
IF YOU WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE INVEST SOME TIME AND JOIN THE PARTNERSHIP
BUSINESS CASE: ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
WE ANTICIPATE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS, SUCH AS:
AVOIDANCE OR MITIGATION OF DIRECT HARM
MITIGATION OF LIABILITY RESULTING FROM INCIDENTS
ENHANCED INVESTOR/LENDER COMFORT THAT YOU WILL BE AROUND IN THE LONG-TERM
BUSINESS CASE: HOW DOES THIS WORK ?
PREPAREDNESS IS PART OF THE COMMERCIAL SETTING CONTRACT TERMS WITH SUPPLIERS LEASE LANGUAGE
DHS/FEMA PS-PREP NFPA 1600 IS THE “FLOOR” OTHER “STANDARDS” CAN BE APPLIED
WHAT IS CEPP GOING TO DO ?
EDUCATION OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY MAKE THE BUSINESS CASE
WORK WITH EMERGENCY MANAGERS/PLANNERS IN CREATING EXPECTATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY
WORK WITH COMMUNITIES TO UNDERSTAND RISKS AND TO PLAN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PRIVATE SECTOR
THIS IS NOT “TOO HARD”
MOST OF WHAT CEPP IS DOING IS BASED ON EXISTING INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS APELL – THE “EPCRA” PROGRAM FOR
THE REST OF THE WORLD OECD – SAFETY PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS
UNEP APELL Programme
• APELL stand for Awareness and Preparedness for Emergencies at Local Level
• Launched by UNEP in 1986 in the aftermath of accidents like Bhopal, India
• As a Programme, APELL depends on a higher level framework of:– national emergency strategy and administration;– ‘right to know’ legislation and transparency;– culture and practice of community involvement;– interagency cooperation
How APELL Works
