Army Global Civil-Military Emergency Preparedness program (AGCMEP) Mission, Vision and Goals

Introduction to ProvIDES (Provide International Disaster Emergency Support) • Tool suite being developed for the Deputy Division Chief,

HQDA, G-35, Stability Operations Division (DAMO-SSO) as part of the AGCMEP overall program

Overview of the emerging tools that will be part of the ProvIDES cloud-based toolset.

Briefing Objectives

What Drives Us…Strategic Plan

AGCMEP program office will

lead Army efforts to build

regional and partner nation’s

resiliency against the

consequence of disasters.

To establish a network of

regional networks capable of

providing mutual support in

response to disasters while

minimizing the requirements

for international and USG

intervention.

1. Prioritized and resourced support for AGCMEP projects

and activities which are generated and managed by any Army

component; or by any USG department or agency with Army

support to build sustainable partnership capacity

2. Guide efficient employment of Army capabilities and

resources via ASCCs for AGCMEP projects and activities in

conjunction with related initiatives, projects & activities of the

Center of Excellence for Disaster Management &

Humanitarian Assistance (COEDMHA), the COCOMs, the

National Guard State Partnership Program (SPP), and others

3. Expand beyond the traditional products & services to a

focused deliberate strategic plan of action

4. Develop U.S. Army policy for working in support of the

USG Disaster Planning and International Community to

bring a whole-of-government (3D) approach to emergency

preparedness

5. Develop an objective assessment tool to determine a

Partner Nation’s readiness and resiliency level to deal with

natural and man-made disasters

Vision

Mission Ends

Introduction to ProvIDES

ProvIDES End Goal

The tools that will be discussed are part of the ProvIDES

Tool Suite that is being developed to assist Partner Nations

to increase their Readiness and Resiliency to deal with

natural and man-made disasters.

The end results of all the tools is an annual development

plan for the Partner Nation that will assist them in achieving

self reliance during times of disasters.

The tools are for use by the Partner Nations and the

development plans they create are customized by the

Partner Nations based on their own desires and

capabilities.

A Ready and Resilient Partner Nation will reduce their

disaster response and recovery dependency on

International organizations, foreign countries and US

Government Agencies.

Framework Mapping Hyogo

Adopted by 168 Countries at the World

Conference on Disaster Reduction in 2005.

Focused on Partner Nations to improve resilience

to hazards that threaten their development.

10 year Timeline (2005-2015).

UNDAC/OCHA

UN Documents for planning and response to

international disasters.

Detailed outline of a DMP and DRP.

Covers all bases from planning to response and

recovery.

Both UN divisions use the UNDAC Handbook for

responding to disasters.

MPICE

Provides metrics for assessment of conflict

diagnosis and resolution.

USIP, USACE and US Army Peacekeeping and

Stability Operations Institute document.

ICAF

State Department document, used by multiple US

government agencies.

Analyzes conflicts and identifies the drivers of

these conflicts.

Allows users to identify how to mitigate conflict.

ICAF = Interagency Conflict Assessment Framework

ISDR = International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (Organization)

MPICE = Measuring Progress in Conflict Environments (Tool)

OCHA = Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

UNDAC = United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination

USACE = United States Army Corps of Engineers

USIP = United States Institute of Peace

ProvIDES Tool Suite

ProVIDESRelief.org: The centerpiece of the ProvIDES project providing access to disaster data, the ProvIDES tool suite and third party tools

• Integrated Data: ProvIDESRelief.org will integrate data from commercial, government and non-profit sources to give context to disaster information

• Integrated Tools: ProvidesRelief.org will serve as the hub for the ProvIDES Tool Suite and other third party tools

Tools - Discrete Event Simulation

Discrete Events Simulation: An international disaster scenario simulator • Simulator 2.0: An upgrade to the 1.0 simulator that

provides model animation and analytic reports • “Infinite Scalability”: The simulator spawns servers

and resources on demand to simulate systems of systems

• Live Communication: Simulation results are pushed from the cloud to the client’s computer directly in real time

• Complex Construct Support: Syncs, Loops, and Decision points are supported

ProvIDES Advanced Simulator Concept – Future Version

User selects existing Assets and placements

User selects regional Assets that respond to cyclone warning

Simulator creates needs based on disaster info

Cyclone approaches Partner Nation

Assets that perform the appropriate actions are assigned to needs

Cyclone event occurs

User adds Assets and selects attributes of Assets

User selects disaster type and characteristics

Building the Model:

The Southeast Coast of Japan (Ready & Resilient PN)

Running the Model:

Cyclone Makes Landfall

Tools - Matching

NGO/PVO Match: A web application to compare, analyze and search out NGOs, PVOs, and technologies to match the assessment identified needs for the partner nations

Technology Match: A web application to compare, analyze and search out technologies to meet the assessment identified needs for partner nations

• Organization Name • Location • Years in service • Functions of expertise (Initially using USAID registry) such

as Basic Health – Delineated to specific levels of expertise e.g., First Aid, CPR,

Simple fractures etc...

• Areas/Regions of Operation • Languages Spoken • Funding Source • Contact information including:

– Website – Phone number – Fax number – Physical Address

NGO/PVO Data Elements

Tools - NGO/PVO & Tech Match

Compare and analyze commercial technologies, and PVOs’ and NGOs’ capabilities, equipment and services that could meet assessment identified needs for the PNs

Scalable: Cloud integrated for on-demand scalability Existing Resource

DMP

Generic Template for Pre-Event Planning and Long Term Preparation

Planning for every type event that can occur

Works with DRP for pre-event steps: Identify Threats and Assets and Pre-Occurrence Preparation

Post event planning is for response planning

Tailorable to meet specific events commonly experienced by PN

DRP

Generic Template for post event responses including initial damage assessment

Overlaps some pre-event planning steps from DMP: Identify Threats and Assets and Pre-Occurrence Preparation

Identifies resources needed for every event that can occur

Can be tailored by PN to allocate common/trusted resources used by PN
