1 Annex E 24/7 EMERGENCY CONTACT PROTOCOL PRIMARY AGENCY: Cascade City-County Health Department INTRODUCTION Purpose The purpose of this protocol is to provide a point of contact for coordinating the response to an emergency with the CCHD Emergency Response Team after-hours, on holidays and weekends. SCOPE See the CCHD Emergency Response Plan. Assumptions For CCHD emergency response involvement, the following assumptions are implied: 1. The Cascade City-County Health Department has been assigned the responsibility of protecting the health of the citizens of Cascade County during an emergency or disaster. 2. Since emergencies or disasters can occur at any time, the CCHD point of contact from the Emergency Response Team must be available at all times in order to protect the public s health. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS After-Hours Calls In order to provide all-hours access to CCHD officials, certain personnel can be reached by the answering service for all after hours emergencies. The Prevention Services Division Manager is responsible for assuring after-hours, holiday, and weekend coverage. After-Hours HAN Messages During normal business hours, will serve as the prime method of receiving HAN messages. After-hours, on-call duty individuals will receive emergency HAN messages via text messaging. AFTER HOURS CALL: INITIAL ACTIONS Receive Call During all non-business hours, emergency management agencies, as well as health care providers will be instructed to use the CCHD answering service for emergencies only. This after-hours number is available to providers on the reportable disease list that is circulated annually. For other 1 st responder agencies (i.e., police, fire, EMS etc.), the Cascade City-County Health Department 1 Emergency Response Plan- Annex E: 24/7 Emergency Contact Protocol Updated: July 2011, March 2012, February 2013, January 2015, March 2015
2 Preparedness & Communications Officer, through the LEPC, is responsible for ensuring that those agencies have the current contact information. The after-hours number is also posted on CCHD s website. By calling the phone number, , individuals will contact Mathews Answering Service who will forward the message, including the contacts telephone number to the first available CCHD official. Officials will be attempted in the following order: Prevention Services Division Manager, Preparedness & Communications Officer, Health Officer and Emergency Planner. The numbers for each official are as follows: Health Officer Prevention Services Division Manager Emergency Planner Preparedness & Communications Officer Once the message is passed on to the CCHD official, they will be responsible for contacting other Emergency Response Team members as needed. Review Incident Information Once the official has received a call from the answering service and has obtained the facts and discerns the situation, they will need to determine whether to contact other CCHD officials or whether the circumstance can wait until the next working day. If the situation requires that information be faxed or ed, the contacted official will instruct the individual reporting to fax or that information to the Health Department or other designated location. Health Department fax number: (406) Health Officer: thouston@cascadecountymt.gov Prevention Services Division Manager: tsmith@cascadecountymt.gov Emergency Planner: jolberding@cascadecountymt.gov Preparedness & Communications Officer: mcalandra@cascadecountymt.gov Respond to Call In the event that immediate action needs to be taken, all members of the emergency response team will be notified immediately. They will be advised to meet at the Health Department or other designated location in order to devise a plan of action. AFTER HOURS CALL: CONTINUING ACTIONS Notify Responders and Additional Personnel All or selected CCHD staff members may need to be contacted and/or asked to report for duty. In these situations, CCHD Leadership Team members possess a master contact list of all staff members. When instructed, Leadership Team members can use this list to contact Division staff. A corresponding spreadsheet is also available to track calls and staff members responses (see PRO Conducting an Emergency Call Down).

3 Other emergency responders will be notified as necessary using Attachment 1: Contacts or the Health Alert Network contact list. Each of these contain multiple means of contacting responders, healthcare providers, and other public health and response partners. HAN MESSAGE: INITIAL ACTIONS Receive Message During normal business hours, will serve as the prime method of receving HAN messages. During after-hours, holidays, and weekends, emergency HAN messages will be sent via text message. CCHD addresses and phone numbers that are currently registered with the DPHHS HAN system and the State Surveillance Coordinator are as follows: Michelle Calandra, Preparedness & Communications Officer Janelle Olberding, Emergency Planner Tanya Houston, Health Officer Review Message Information When a HAN message is received, the Preparedness & Communications Officer will immediately evaluate the content of the message and determine an appropriate response. If the Preparedness & Communications Officer is unavailable, the Emergency Planner will evaluate the message. In the event that both of these individuals are unavailable, the Health Officer will evaluate the message. Respond to Message Appropriate responses to HAN messages may include forwarding the message to appropriate partners and/or contacting other members of the emergency response team. Health Advisories or Updates can be forwarded on the next business day. Alerts are reserved for emergency situations and will likely need to be disseminated immediately. See PRO Responding to Health Alert Network Messages and TSK TSK Sending a Health Alert Network Message. HAN MESSAGE: CONTINUING ACTIONS Update Health Alert Network Contacts The Emergency Planner will conduct regular checks and tests to ensure that Health Alert Network contacts and contact information are up to date. Note Health Alert Network messages may be generated by CCHD for local distribution. Local public health situations and events, such as disease outbreaks, may create the need for CCHD to generate a Health Alert Network message and send to local agencies, organizations, and individuals. The Preparedness & Communications Officer will work with the Health Officer and Prevention Services Division Manager to generate message Cascade City-County Health Department 3 Emergency Response Plan- Annex E: 24/7 Emergency Contact Protocol Updated: July 2011, March 2012, February 2013, January 2015, March 2015
4 content, develop and/or gather necessary attachments, and determine appropriate target audience. ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES Primary Agency Testing In order to ensure that the 24/7 system functions properly, CCHD will perform tests periodically. System testing is the responsibility of the Preparedness & Communications Officer and will occur, at a minimum, one time annually. CCHD may also participate in the quarterly test coordinated by DPHHS. Evaluation For system evaluation purposes, all calls, whether actual or system tests, will be properly documented on CCHD-approved phone logs as soon as reasonably possible.
