INTER-TRIBAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COALITION
ITEMC was formed in December, 2004 as a learning and networking resource for tribal emergency management professionals. Because of the checker-board layout of the tribal lands, the need for networking, enhancing and strengthening the working relationships with federal, state, county and city soon became apparent. The first ITEMC Summit was held in June, 2008 with over 180 attendees. Each year the Summit has grown. The Summits are designed to help those involved in Emergency Management to understand and overcome misconceptions about jurisdictional boundaries, organization, tribal resources, and receiving federal assistance. It has evolved into an excellent opportunity for tribal, state, and local officials to network with other agencies and organizations.
We are pleased to present a variety of resources from tribal governments, state and federal agencies and the private sector.....all in one conference to help identify ways in which all of us can work together to provide response and recovery efforts in emergency and disaster situations.

FEMA: National Preparedness Month Launch is Part of Larger Efforts to Partner With Tribal Nations as They Prepare for Disasters:
WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today announced the launch of the Ready Indian Country campaign as a part of its ongoing National Preparedness Month outreach. The new campaign will provide disaster preparedness information resources for the 565 federally-recognized tribal nations and communities across the country.
The goal of Ready Indian Country is to partner with tribal leaders in asking individuals and families in Indian Country to take basic steps to prepare themselves for emergencies.
“Our tribal nations and organizations are a key member of our nation’s emergency management team and this campaign will help us build on the already strong partnership we have developed,” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. “By strengthening these communities’ ability to be better prepared in the face of emergencies and disasters, together we can save lives and bolster our resiliency against all hazards.”
Native American Center for Excellence is hosting a limited space webinar: "“COMMUNITY READINESS”
PHPR core competency 1.1.5; 3.1; CDC Capabilities Videos and Files( 3.1 MB): 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 15
This is a 2 hour skills-building webinar on the Community Readiness Model (CRM), which was developed at Colorado State University 17 years ago, the webinar presenters were part of the development team. The CRM is community-specific, issue-specific, and was designed to mobilize communities at the appropriate readiness stage and builds cooperation and coordination among systems and individuals. Community Readiness, is a best practice, theoretically based, and a respectful step by step, approach to creating a positive and healthy community change. When applied to prevention of a social concern, community readiness determines and guides the timing for each step of efforts aimed at changing community norms, behaviors and attitudes. It utilizes resources that already exist within communities and supports development of culturally appropriate intervention strategies for prevention of HIV/AIDS, substance use, domestic violence or other social issues facing a Tribe or community.

Introduction:
The Office of Public Affairs of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed messages and other resources for federal, state, local, and tribal public health officials to use during a response to an emergency.
Provided here are messages that apply to all Category A Biological Agents, as classified by the CDC, as well as messages about chemical and radiological events and suicide bombing.
Purpose:
The messages were written to be used by federal public health officials and to be adapted for the use of state and local public health officials during a terrorist attack or suspected attack. Use these messages as follows:
- To communicate with the public during a terrorist attack or a suspected attack
- To adapt for a specific event (These messages were written for fictitious situations, so assumptions were made about an event.)
- To provide information during the first hours of an event
- To save precious moments during the initial response time and to buy the time necessary for public health leaders to develop more specific messages
In addition to this federal resource, public health departments in several states and some cities and local governments have developed similar messages. With the permission of the public health departments, state and locally developed messages will be shared on this site so that public health officials throughout the nation can benefit from each other’s work.

State, local, and tribal health departments play an extremely important role in all-hazards emergency preparedness and response. Public health professionals within these departments should have immediate access to guidance and information that will assist them in rapidly establishing priorities and undertaking necessary actions during the response to an emergency or disaster. The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services (EEHS) has developed an all-hazards public health emergency response guide to address this need.
LEADERSHIP:
NIMS - Tribal Nation Stakeholder
Overview
"On February 28, 2003, the President issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD–5), “Management of Domestic Incidents,” which directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). This system provides a consistent nationwide template to enable Federal, State, tribal, and local governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity. This consistency provides the foundation for utilization of NIMS for all incidents, ranging from daily occurrences to incidents requiring a coordinated Federal response.
HSPD–5 requires all Federal departments and agencies to adopt NIMS and to use it in their individual incident management programs and activities, as well as in support of all actions taken to assist State, tribal, and local governments. The directive requires Federal departments and agencies to make adoption of NIMS by State, tribal, and local organizations a condition for Federal preparedness assistance (through grants, contracts, and other activities). NIMS recognizes the role that NGOs and the private sector have in preparedness and activities to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents."

MENTAL HEALTH
Traumatic Incident Stress: PHPR core competency 1.1.4,1.2, 2.5.8, 2.5.9, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3; CDC Capabilities Videos and Files( 3.1 MB): 1, 11
Emergency workers must respond quickly to natural disasters, such as earthquakes or hurricanes, and to manmade disasters, such as technological failures or terrorist attacks. These workers are at risk of experiencing stress from what psychologists refer to as a traumatic incident. A traumatic incident is one that may involve exposure to catastrophic events, severely injured children or adults, dead bodies or body parts, or a loss of colleagues. NIOSH recommends that all workers involved in response activities help themselves and their coworkers and reduce the risk of experiencing stress associated with a traumatic incident by utilizing simple methods to recognize, monitor, and maintain health on-site and following such experiences.
