DSO-EM Rene Rice - District 13
The mission of Incident Management is to foster communication, standardization, and interoperability in Auxiliary contingency planning and incident management systems.
We use models that align with Coast Guard mechanisms and procedures to improve communication, coordination and cooperation in planning and response activities. We provide tools, training and assistance to Auxiliary members to improve our overall planning, readiness and response capability for all-hazard scenarios.
We are also the program manager for the AIMS (Everbridge) notification
system. This is the tool we use to automate and manage member life-safety accountability post incident. Our goal is to provide the information required by DIRAUX to ensure our members are 100% accounted for and are safe after any critical event impacting D13. This system is tested multiple times a year.
In order to accomplish our mission we have set the following goals and objectives, divided into two areas, foundational and operational:
Foundational Goals:
1. Create District 13 Incident Response Plans.
2. Align current skills with Coast Guard requirements.
3. Expand ICS training on the Flotilla level.
Operational Goals:
1. Partner with DSO-CM to increase the number of active radio facilities, with emphasis on fixed station facilities (HF primarily).
2.Conduct District 13 incident training exercise.
Our strategy is to implement these goals over a two year period with the expectation that all goals will be fully implemented during that time period. Implementation of the Foundational Goals is a prerequisite to implementing the operational goals, so we are striving to initially complete all of the Foundational Goals.
A secondary responsibility of the Incident Management and Preparedness group is calculation of the AUXDATA driven awards. Per the D13 Awards Guide, these awards “are activity driven, with little or no discretion or judgement involved. If the activity level is reached and properly reported and documented within the specified time period, the award is given; if not, the award is not given.”
Calculations are done monthly throughout the year and distributed so members can validate the numbers and insure that their activities are being properly report in AUXDATA.
