Common use of DEPLOYMENT OF RESOURCES Clause in Contracts

DEPLOYMENT OF RESOURCES. Critical Concepts Critical to the success of this deployment plan is the concept of an efficient timeframe for deployment. If a requested resource is not available for deployment as requested, alternative sources must be identified. Additionally, it is critical that all resources deployed are adequately documented and tracked. This is important for both safety and cost accounting purposes. Time Frame for Deployment • Rapid Response: In many emergency situations, a rapid deployment may be deemed necessary and authorized as a Rapid Response. Time frame for deployment of these missions shall be as soon as possible, preferably within 1 hour of notice of dispatch and authorization. Unless otherwise stated, the anticipated duration of the deployment will be up to 24 hours. The request will direct the deploying resources to respond to the designated Staging Area or check-in area identified by the IC. The Staging Area shall be under the direct supervision of a Staging Area Manager. Responding units should plan to be self-sufficient for the length of the assignment. • Standard Deployment: Unless specified otherwise at the time of request, the standard for deployment of resources shall be within three (3) hours of notice from the Dispatch/authorization. Deployed resources shall report to the designated location identified in the deployment request. For incidents greater than rapid response, responders need to be self- sufficient for the first 72 hours. Consideration shall include transportation, food, and overnight shelter. • Credentialing: Credentialing will be maintained at local level following accepted standards. Qualification sheets shall be maintained for all individuals being deployed on statewide incidents. Photo ID system may also be used. Level 3 incidents will be trigger point for full credentialing. Level 4&5 incidents will operate under normal local credentialing requirements. Example: Firefighters for level 3 will require Firefighter 1 certification, same for all agencies. Individuals operating at an incident prior to elevation to level 3 will be exempt from credentialing. Appendix E (Incident Complexity and Types) provides additional detail regarding the various levels of incidents. Self Dispatch First Response units and/or individuals shall not self dispatch to planned activations. It is the responsibility of MEMA, local and county directors, and dispatch centers to take aggressive action to insure that such resources are not utilized. There shall be no funding support or reimbursement provided to self dispatched units or personnel. Resource Typing Resource typing will be consistent with the most current edition of the FEMA/NIMS Integration Center’s Resource Typing Definitions document or county resource list.
