Breakout Discussion by Focus Area

Cross-Sector Collaboration:

Having multiple businesses, government authorities, nonprofit governmental organizations (NGOs), and faith-based groups in a community can greatly augment disaster response, but challenges remain in building integrated, coordinated responses across a community, especially when standard memo-randa of understanding (MOUs) might not be sufficient, including (1) supply chain interruptions affecting multiple jurisdictions/communities; (2) conveying the need for preparedness by all to engage diverse, cross-sector involvement; and

At-Risk Populations:

Engaging vulnerable and at-risk populations is often a challenge in cities nationwide, but coordinating this engagement across jurisdictions becomes even more difficult: (1) knowledge of medically vulnerable, electricity-dependent citizens is limited and haphazard, and sharing this knowledge is not always possible; (2) citizens receiving social services are often vulnerable in disasters but not included in pre-planning efforts (i.e., child care facilities, foster care programs, homeless youth, refugee populations, low-income families, and seniors) and might not be aware of their need to coordinate across a region; and (3) integrating community health clinic expansion with social service outreach is difficult across community borders/ jurisdictional lines.

Management of Volunteers During Emergencies:

Volunteer networks are essential in disasters and multiple volunteer organizations have built strong response frameworks. However, coordination of these organizations often remains a challenge, especially during responses that span multiple jurisdictions. Some key volunteer management issues include (1) promising practices in the management of volunteers across a region, including credentialing, background checks, initial and ongoing training, and core competencies; (2) coordination for the deployment of volunteers across organizations (e.g., MRC, American Red Cross, VOAD, etc.) and jurisdictions; (3) liability or other risks and barriers that could create difficulties for the use of volunteers for certain missions or regional deployments; and (4) management of spontaneous volunteers during a regional response.

Social Capital and Cohesion:

More research and evidence has been emerging to support the need for stronger social cohesion in communities to increase resilience to disasters, but existing challenges are (1) latent social conflicts existing in a region that can hinder network building; (2) difficulty in engaging individual citizens in preparedness activities and the importance of having “citizen responders”; and (3) unique considerations of connecting social capital networks across multiple communities if a disaster occurs affecting an entire region.

When disaster strikes, it rarely impacts just one jurisdiction. Many catastrophic disaster plans include support from neighboring jurisdictions that likely will not be available in a regional disaster. Bringing multiple stakeholders together from sectors that do not routinely work with each other can augment a response to a disaster, but can also be extremely difficult because of the multi-disciplinary communication and coordination needed to ensure effective medical and public health response. As many communities within a region will have similar vulnerabilities, a logical step in planning is to establish responsibilities and capacities, and be able to work toward common goals to address all-hazards when the entire region is affected. To explore these considerations, the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Medical and Public Health Preparedness for Catastrophic Events organized a series of three regional workshops in 2014 to explore opportunities to strengthen the regional coordination required in response to a large scale multijurisdictional disaster. The purpose of each regional workshop was to discuss ways to strengthen coordination among multiple jurisdictions in various regions to ensure fair and equitable treatment of communities from all impacted areas. Regional Disaster Response Coordination to Support Health Outcomes summarizes the presentation and discussion of these workshops.
