Flood Public Health and Medical Discipline
The Emergency Management Assistance Compact Tabletop Exercise, “Flood Public Health and Medical Discipline” is now available. This EMAC Tabletop Exercise (TTX) will provide the public health and medical community, as well as local emergency management agencies (EMAs), with a tool to lead them through the EMAC process for requesting and/or receiving assistance by coordinating with the State EMA. It will allow them to accurately measure and validate their procedural and operational abilities to function under and coordinate an EMAC deployment in response to a catastrophic disaster, as well as enhance their understanding of EMAC reimbursement parameters.

Effective EMAC Response Hinges on Trained and Prepared State Personnel
The devastating flooding left from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee that impacted New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Delaware, Connecticut, Vermont, and Pennsylvania was responded to by states sending 1123 personnel into the impacted areas under EMAC. Operations started on August 25, 2011 will continue through October 15, 2011.
The National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), through grant funds from the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) awarded grants to the states to develop EMAC capabilities. States will use the funding to develop mission ready packages for response specific resources and to develop EMAC focused exercises.
