DISPATCH SUPERVISOR - EVENT PROCEDURES CHECKLIST FIRST RESPONSE DO NOT state the names of those involved and DO NOT use the word fatality, use rescue or recovery when information is given over the radio. Use cell phones, when available, to gather pertinent information. Initial Confirm that assistance is on the way Medical Response (ground or air) Law Enforcement Response Ensure that the IAP Response Communication Tree has been activated using the call list Delegate duties as needed Fill out at as much of the Incident Information Sheet at possible Document additional on-scene responses Document hospital location information Keep victim’s name confidential. When possible use cell phones for communications As soon as practical, provide transportation/accommodations for on scene witnesses Document using Dispatch standard protocol, all contacts and actions 11

TRANSPORTING INJURED PERSONNEL BY HELICOPTER USING “HEAR” (Hospital Emergency Administrative Radio) SYSTEM Also known as VMED 28 When transporting injured personnel by helicopter under Agency Contract, the local Dispatch Center will telephone the appropriate hospital and request they monitor their “HEAR” system radio. The aircraft pilot or manager will tune in the “HEAR” Frequency (normally 155.340 as primary) on the aircraft multi-channel radio and establish direct communication with the hospital staff. Helicopter will verify frequency through the Dispatch Center. Local Police may be requested to secure landing area when needed. This procedure is to be used only for emergencies that warrant immediate hospital service. 12

ON-SITE FIELD FATALITY PROTOCOL PURPOSE: The intent of this guide is to facilitate the action that must be taken in response to serious injuries or fatalities. This guide also provides contact information for key personnel in facilitating and maintain communication and coordination of the incident. RESPONSIBILITY: Unit where the event took place is responsible for taking the initial action. Each agency with personnel involved will also have an important role in the process ensuring that their people are taken care of. 1. 2. 3. AVOID MOVING THE DECEASED using your best judgment Notify the Sheriff, who will notify the Coroner's Staff. Protect the site for investigation. ORGANIZATION: 1. 2. 3. Establish an Incident Management Team for the fatality situation, with formal delegation of authority to the IC. Minimum positions are: Incident Commander, Finance Section Chief (with Procurement Unit Leader and Compensation for Injury Unit Leader) and Logistics Section Chief. Other positions will be filled as needed by the IC, depending on the situation. DOCUMENTATION IS CRITICAL. FIO could coordinate/facilitate communication with home units and family liaisons. Consider establishing unified command with County Sheriff, the jurisdictional agency, and possibly the Coroner's Office. NOTIFICATION ABOUT INCIDENT: 1. 2. 3. Notify local Geographic Area Coordination Center, who will coordinate further distribution of information. Establish a process to make sure coordination is achieved and information is managed. DO NOT USE THE NAMES OF THOSE INVOLVED ON THE RADIO. FATALITIES: 1. Identification (Dead, Missing, Injured, Survivors): * Work with local jurisdiction (County Sheriff) on identification procedures, needs and facilitate that process. This may require additional data for forensic identification. If necessary, transport the data by courier. 2. Notification: * Coordinate notification procedures with local jurisdiction and affected home units. * The home unit may identify liaison personnel to coordinate all communication to and with the families. 13

3. Transportation: *Coordination Team works with incident mortuary (and NIFC if necessary) for transportation (Agency, Commercial, Contract). *Government pays (through OWCP) preparation, transportation and delivery to the receiving mortuary. *Check with OWCP specialist for coverage of funeral expenses. * Identify one escort for transportation and delivery of the remains. *Coordinate with Home Unit for delivery of remains. CO-WORKER SURVIVORS: 1. 2. Arrange for medical care/CISM, if needed. Consider need to pull from the incident. Consider the need for Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. FAMILY SURVIVORS: 1. Notification: * Speedy, accurate information is imperative. * Usually handled, in person, or arranged by home unit. * Inform family who will be agency contact person (liaison) for details. This person explains benefits, determines family wishes, helps family as needed, and is focal point for all communication with family. MISCELLANEOUS TRAVEL ISSUES: 1. Questions may arise on family travel or escorts for remains. CONTACT REGIONAL FISCAL AND OWCP PERSONNEL FOR INFORMATION. BENEFITS: 1. Person managing the fatality situation works with incident mortuary to initiate requests for Death Certificates. 2.

They will be contact for other agencies such as Department of Justice for Public Safety Officers' Benefit Act. 3. Home Unit OWCP staff initiates action for benefits. 14

TIPS FOR DISPATCH: PREPARING FOR AN AGENCY INVESTIGATION TEAM Please see agency handbooks for additional requirements. Statements from the witnesses and personnel remotely (distance) involved (i.e. dispatchers, incident communications unit, ATGS, HELCO, other pilots, etc.). Their statements are very important when it comes to what they heard or saw Weather at the time of accident. What was the weather at the time of the event? Temperature, wind direction, approximate visibility, sunny, cloudy, what was predicted? Forest/Unit designate a point of contact for the incoming team (usually a line officer) If involved on a fire incident, a point of contact from the IMT would be very helpful Radio/dispatch logs and tapes Please have witnesses and personnel involved with the incident stay in the local area in case the investigator needs additional information 15

MEDIA RELATIONS The following information and guidelines will assist you in responding to media inquiries regarding a mishap, accident, or incident. Many media outlets have radio scanners and may call at the first mention of an accident or incident. In today’s digital age and media environment, with people having access to cell phones and other digital capabilities, virtually anyone can be an instant reporter. Staff at dispatch and coordination centers and home units must be prepared to respond immediately. It’s important to be responsive to the media, but it’s critical that you do not release any detailed information, particularly in the early stages of an accident or incident. You can acknowledge that you have an initial report but explain there are no other details available. It’s especially important that you not release any information about names of individuals known or presumed to have been injured. Similarly, it is important to not release preliminary information about location or specific mission, as many family members could be affected without confirmation. Never say “no comment,” in response to a question as that indicates you are hiding something or otherwise purposely keeping information from them. Instead, politely explain that you do not have the necessary information to respond further. Responding to media calls can be an unsettling experience for many, but realize that reporters are people, too, and only doing their job, just as you are. Treat them with respect – remember, they can be a great ally or your worst enemy – and be polite and responsive but do not speculate or provide detailed information. Leave any responses beyond explaining that you do not have the necessary information to professional information officers. Every dispatch office or coordination center should maintain a current list of public affairs or information officers to contact in the event of an emergency. This contact should be made as early in the process as possible to relieve dispatch or coordination center personnel of dealing directly with media calls so they can focus on needs associated with the incident or accident. Once an information or public affairs officer has been notified, calls can simply be referred to him or her. This person should also be in contact with the investigator and can handle media inquiries as requested by the investigation team. Once an investigation team is in place, and if the local information officer is not available, obtain the name and phone number of the lead investigator or the team’s incident information officer, contact them, and ask how they would like media calls to be directed. Remember, the sooner a public information officer or public affairs officer is contacted; the sooner media calls can be diverted from the work of the dispatch or coordination center. 16
