should also include MTF EM coordination <strong>with</strong> nearby military installations of other Services<br />

including the U.S. Coast Guard, and local medical community organizational planning such as<br />

through local emergency planning committees.<br />

i. Joint Information Center (JIC). MTF commanders shall coordinate <strong>with</strong> region and<br />

installation EM staffs to identify and update points of contact for public affairs, risk communication,<br />

emergency protocols, and media expectations.<br />

FHP EMP Standard 7: Planning<br />

1. The <strong>Navy</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> FHP EMP establishes minimum planning standards as required by<br />

reference (a) of this section. Planning is critical to preparedness, prevention, mitigation,<br />

response, and recovery from an emergency. The MTF EM Plan must be coordinated <strong>with</strong> the<br />

installation plan, if the MTF is a tenant command, or <strong>with</strong> the regional plan, if the MTF is a<br />

stand-alone installation.<br />

2. All <strong>Navy</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> MTF EM Plans shall be reviewed at least annually and provided to the<br />

immediate superior in command (ISIC). Elements of the MTF EM Plan must be coordinated<br />

<strong>with</strong> the applicable <strong>Navy</strong> and USMC region, and installation-specific EM Plans and exercises.<br />

The MTF EM Plan should also be coordinated <strong>with</strong> Federal, State, tribal, local, other-Service, or<br />

HN, and/or private response and/or recovery partners.<br />

3. Evacuation planning, shelter-in-place planning, and shelter development procedures should<br />

be based upon applicable DoD, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and American Red<br />

Cross (ARC) guidelines. Evacuation, rather than procurement and employment of protective<br />

equipment, is the primary means of addressing hazards faced by Category 2 personnel. In<br />

overseas locations, evacuations will follow established U.S. DoS evacuation procedures.<br />

4. Per reference (b) of this section, <strong>Navy</strong> region and installation commanders shall develop<br />

plans and procedures to direct Category 2 through 4 personnel to safe locations, shelters, or to a<br />

shelter-in-place should evacuation not be an option. When shelter-in-place is utilized, the goal<br />

will be to protect at least 90 percent of personnel <strong>with</strong>in 15 minutes. MTF commanders and<br />

EMOs shall communicate regularly and coordinate closely <strong>with</strong> region or installation EM<br />

planning processes.<br />

5. Additional aspects of planning that must be incorporated are:<br />

a. Assistance to requesting commanders in identifying a PHEO per reference (n) of this<br />

section.<br />

b. Participation in the MBAC per reference (c) of this section.<br />

c. Liaison <strong>with</strong> the installation EOC and ROC.<br />
