FY 2006110MELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2.2005 Identify agent antidotes by types and dosage volumes and planning for storage, dispersal, and dispensing, and awareness of how agent antidote dosages may impact the health of vulnerable populations (e.g., immune - suppressed individuals, children). Ensure that alternate medical treatment facilities have immediately available electric power, water and sewer, environmental controls, and other necessary infrastructure support to become operationally viable on short notice. CFA 2 - Strengthen Mass Prophylaxis This CFA links to the Mass Prophylaxis Target Capability. MMRS jurisdictions should ensure that all sources of medicines and medical supplies (e.g., MMRS cache, CHEMPACK, and HRSA- funded hospital -based caches), necessary to protect first responders and first receivers and support their continued operations in hazardous environments, and to provide mass prophylaxis, are aggregated into a NIMS - compliant master resource list and management system, in support of a mass prophylaxis distribution plan, which also addresses SNS provided items, for their Operational Area. The provisions of former CFA 8, "Pharmaceutical Cache Management and Status Reporting" are also incorporated into this CFA. In support of CDC's Cities Readiness Initiative, all MMRS jurisdictions which are in Urban Areas must update their mass prophylaxis plans to be able to provide for the distribution of pharmaceuticals to their entire population within 48 hours of receiving an allocation from the Strategic National Stockpile. In addition, all MMRS jurisdictions must maintain on file an inventory of the MMRS local pharmaceutical cache, in Microsoft® Excel format, to be provided electronically to DHS upon request. This inventory must include the following data elements: • Pharmaceutical products contained and inventory of jurisdiction's pharmaceutical cache in units of dosage. • Names and official titles of individuals authorized to release cache pharmaceuticals. • Each product's Lot Number, cost, and expiration date. • Pharmaceutical storage management and conditions, including percentage stored in hospitals and other fixed facilities, and percentage forward- deployed on emergency responder vehicles. CFA 3 - Strengthen CBRNE Detection, Response, and Decontamination Capabilities This CFA links to the WMD /Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination Target Capability. Elements of MMRS baseline capabilities in CBRNE response plans are applicable to this CFA. The decontamination items in CFA 1, above, also apply to this CFA. CFA 4 - Strengthen Interoperable Communications Capabilities This CFA links to the Interoperable Communications Target Capability. In consideration of Katrina/Rita after - action lessons learned, in addition to the interoperable communications guidance provided in the general section of this grant guidance, in each MMRS Operational Area, there must be established a Minimum Essential Emergency Medical Communications Network (MEEMCN) capable of processing voice and data communications which is not dependent on the Public Switched Network, avoiding to the maximum extent possible reliance on terrestrial fixed site components which are vulnerable to disruption or destruction by terrorist act or natural disaster. The MEEMCN shall, at a minimum, include selected medical treatment PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING 97
