Resource Information Utilization
Resource management staff will demonstrate the
ability to utilize resource directories and other sources of procurement information to
locate needed supplies and equipment and deliver them to the requesting party.
POINTS OF REVIEW:
- Were resource management staff able to locate resource directories or other
sources of information? Yes. The Logistics personnel were very proactive in
reviewing the documents at their table. It was noted immediately that their resource
directory only listed City and County resources. However, they acquired phone directories
for outside vendors. They noted that they really would want their city and county vendor
lists available at the ECC.
- Were staff able to determine or obtain correct specifications for requested
parts or supplies? Yes and No. The Logistics Section was not used as
appropriately as they could have been, in part this is to the newness of this developing
section in the ECC. They were able to process the orders that they did receive, but did
not follow though on all details. The most evident was the foam ordered for the fire. In
part this was due to the staff substitutions last minute in the ECC and lack of actual
fire-fighting knowledge. There are several types of foam and you specifically have to know
what to order. The simulators never had a chance to assist the Logistics section with
appropriate information, because the Logistics personnel made up their vendors and did not
actually place any calls.
- Was fire-fighting foam emergency procurement researched and obtained without
unnecessary delays? Not really. The actual call went to Operations at 1348 and
was passed on to Logistics at 1353, it was at 1308 that the paperwork was filled as
completed. Although 15 minutes does not seem like a long time, under these conditions it
was. I think this was due to the fact that it was not passed on that there was a fire at
the airport. The foam was to be delivered to a Fire Station and that did not say rush.
There was a note that said Need Immediately, but that again did not mean that it was a
critical to any incident at the time. Also, since no calls were actually placed for the
order, no rush, no times were determined for the delivery.
- Based on information provided, did Red Cross accurately forecast and request
needed resources? Yes. Due to actual events, the Red Cross came into the
exercise at 1215. They immediately got a briefing on what was needed and started calling
shelters to see if in a actual event they would have been available to open. They did a
great job.
