03 Deliverable #3: Primary MMRS Plan.

Contract Reference: (2000 Statement of Work #3)

Develop a Primary Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) Plan for managing the human health consequences of a terrorist incident involving the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), i.e., a nuclear, radiological, biological and/or chemical device capable of creating mass casualties. The MMRS is considered to be an enhanced local capability for an existing system. The MMRS plan must interface with the State plan, and should be coordinated with other appropriate political jurisdictions (e.g., county government), with nearby/neighboring emergency response systems, and with nearby/neighboring MMRS systems (within approximately 25 miles or those with whom mutual aid is anticipated to be used). This plan should identify and accommodate resident Federal/State assets that may be useful for the city/metropolitan area response plan. The MMRS should develop plans: for command and control, for notification and alert procedures, for management of public affairs, for provision of accurate and timely information, for centralized communication control, for control of transportation assets, for management/augmentation of medical personnel, for management of medical supplies and equipment, for emergency management of legal issues and credentialing, for emergency management of patient tracking/record keeping, for augmentation of epidemiological services and support, for laboratory support, for crowd control, protection of treatment facilities and personnel, for establishing a schedule for exercises, and for assigning responsibility for afteraction reports and addressing report findings. Mental health services should be designed for the care of emergency workers, victims and their families as well as others in the community who need special assistance in coping with the consequences of this type of event. Plans for the proper examination, care and disposition of any humans that do not survive the attack should be included. A completed plan, including the preceding, must be submitted to the Project Officer not more than six months after contract award. (2000 Statement of Work #3)

This plan should be integrated with existing or planned Local and State health surveillance plans for bioterrorism and influenza pandemic planning. This portion of the plan should address five general areas. (1) Early Recognition: the contractor should identify, describe, or develop “early warning indicator(s)” which will be used to alert local officials of a biological terrorist event, ensuring timely notification and activation of response plans. This plan should identify who will receive notification, and who will make the decision to further implement response plans. (2) Mass Immunization/Prophylaxis: In this section, the contractor should highlight, develop, or augment existing plans for managing and implementing mass immunization I prophylaxis. In developing this plan, it should be assumed that the Federal government would assure the availability of vaccines and antibiotics within 24 hours of notification. Key components of this plan include a description of the decision making process to initiate a mass immunization campaign, together with plans for identifying the

affected population. (3) Mass Patient Care: In this section, the contractor should develop or augment existing plans for providing care for a significant portion of the population. Key components of this plan include plans for rapid expansion of existing healthcare system capacity, and plans for taking care of people in excess of either existing or expanded capacity. (4) Mass Fatality Management: In this section, the contractor should develop or augment existing plans for providing respectful care and disposition for a large percentage of the population. Key components of this plan are plans for augmenting existing morgue facilities and staff, and plans for decontamination/isolation procedures where appropriate. (5) Environmental Surety: In this section, the contractor should describe or develop a plan for identifying environmental risk, need for decontamination or vector intervention, and a process for safe re-entry into a suspect area in consultation with local, state, and federal environmental agencies. This concept of operations and related plans must be submitted to the Project Officer no later than 18 months after the award of the contract. (2000 Statement of Work #7)

The size and robustness of any response to the use of a biological weapon of mass destruction (WMD) will be determined by the specific biological agent. As a result, response planning should be considered at three (3) levels: 1. incidents with up to one hundred (100) victims, 2. incidents with one hundred (100) to ten thousand (10,000) victims, 3. incidents with more than ten thousand (10,000) victims.

The Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) program of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provides funds to major U. S. cities to help them develop plans for coping with the health and medical consequences of a terrorist attack with chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) agents. DHHS asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to assist in assessing the effectiveness of the MMRS program by developing appropriate evaluation methods, tools, and processes to assess both its own management of the program and local preparedness in the cities that have participated in the program. This book provides the managers of the MMRS program and others concerned about local capabilities to cope with CBR terrorism with three evaluation tools and a three-part assessment method. The tools are a questionnaire survey eliciting feedback about the management of the MMRS program, a table of preparedness indicators for 23 essential response capabilities, and a set of three scenarios and related questions for group discussion. The assessment method described integrates document inspection, a site visit by a team of expert peer reviewers, and observations at community exercises and drills.
