PROFILE OF FIRST RESPONDER TYPES
FF, LE, FEMA/EM, EMS – FF and Ambulances
Who’s in charge… in the lead? Level of care, concern and commitment High octane/AJ
Whom do we know?How do we access their world?
Access from within and not from without…
Meet them where they live and don’t scare them…
Special Olympics Toys for Tots PR/PIO/Media Go to the top…
Fire Chief Police Chief Emergency Management Director/Coordinator
Learn their language or find one of them who knows our language…
STATE STAKEHOLDERS Two-level attack: State and Local Remember: Disasters occur locally Disaster prompts action… by whom? Identify state and local power brokers: OHS, Fire,
Law Enforcement Learn the alliances within their universe and
govern yourselves accordingly Theirs is a universe of resources. It’s all about
resources and who owns them… find the title holders and you’ll find the top planning echelon
CURRENT WYOMING EFFORTS OHS, EMS/HPP, WIND
WIND/EMS Contractor OHS Emergency Response Cell TA and Training role with OHS and WDH
Blended funding via creativity, innovation and need Sustainment is an ongoing challenge but we have the
responsibility for ongoing training and TA Community Inclusion, employment support, tailor a fit within
your grant structure FS and EMS formal training events
KEYS Learn their language and what’s important to
them IC is a facilitator of surprise and a manager of
chaos. Focus on how to minimize the ICs surprise and chaos factor.
Be prepared to DITY… so what’s new about that? Focus with the end in sight… which is to create a
permanent infrastructural link between EM folk the disabilities community.
TAKE IT TO THEIR LEVEL Did you get the chair? What meds are they on? Let’s get ‘em on a backboard!! Who’s going to do c-spine? Who do we have who can talk with them? Where can we get some chairs? There’s no movement in her legs!! What are we going to do with these animals? What did you say his vitals are? How can we be better prepared? Who can help us with resources?
REMEMBER: Their focus is to get people out of harm’s
way…
… and they’re going to do that.
TAKEAWAYS… What “insider” has experiential knowledge of the
EM network (or the disabilities network) and how do you enlist their support?
Who cares… and why? Find commonality. Take them gifts and wisdom. Create and maintain a vision, for where there is
no vision, the people perish.
