Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC Sample Clauses

Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC. Awardees must describe in their all-hazards public health and medical emergency preparedness and response plans how they will use EMAC or other mutual aid agreements for medical and public health mutual aid to support coordinated activities and to share resources, facilities, services, and other potential support required when responding to emergencies that impact the public’s health. Awardees should work with state emergency management organizations and other related agencies to incorporate EMAC into training and exercises as a way to gain familiarity with processes for requesting and deploying resources through the EMAC system. Information regarding the ongoing development of public health mission ready packages (MRPs) can be found in the 2017-20122 HPP-PHEP Supplemental Guidelines. HPP Requirements HCCs in Response HCCs serve a communication and coordination role within their respective jurisdictions. This coordination ensures the integration of health care delivery into the broader community’s incident planning objectives and strategy development. It also ensures that resource needs that cannot be managed within the HCC itself are rapidly passed along to the ESF-8 lead agency.

Coordination between the HCC and the ESF-8 lead agency can occur in a number of ways. Some HCCs serve as the ESF-8 lead agency for their jurisdictions. Others integrate with their ESF-8 lead agency through an identified designee at the jurisdiction’s EOC who represents HCC issues and needs and provides timely, efficient, and bidirectional information flow to support situational awareness.

See also Attachment XV: EMAC Request and Fulfillment Process. RPH or SCHD may also receive a request for EMAC. Receiving states will only accept resources from the State of Ohio. For local resources to qualify as State resources, the providing agency must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Ohio EMA.
