2	Contingency Planning Concept Model “Plan for the worst, hope for the best” Effective mission execution depends on a firm foundation of planning Local conditions demand that we be flexible
3	PEACE Model
4	Planning All planning needs to be done as an integrated and joint effort with the local Coast Guard unit.
5	Partnerships Police, EMS, Dept Natural Resources, Sheriff, Coast Guard Types of credentials needed Types of resources that the CG Auxiliary may need
6	Self Sustaining Identify housing, food, water, sanitation needs for near term response Includes vessels and communications facilities
7	Logistics What do I need? How do I get it? Where do I put it? Manage personnel and assets for primary volunteer effort
8	Orders Permissive or "Pocket” orders POMS/AUXDATA need to be on-line to provide transaction records for reimbursement Consider centralizing order issuing authority
9	Need/Skill Inventory Needs analysis for the local CG unit or sector Specific needs or generic Determine capabilities of Auxiliary members Employment survey
10	Health and Welfare Physical and mental readiness for duty, flexibility, reliability Vaccinations (Hepatitis, Tetanus, other) Post deployment monitoring plan for possible health consequences
11	Auxiliary Association Operation Life Ring provides financial support to members affected by the disaster or event Managed by the Executive Director of the Auxiliary Association
12	Communications Loss of traditional communications Provide a communication mechanism for members to volunteer Logistics, support, command/control
13	Educate and Exercise Knowledge and skills are the building blocks to insure smooth integration, interoperability and advanced capability to the event.
14	ICS Training Leadership and operational support must achieve a new level of readiness Effective response integration requires basic understanding of ICS
15	Qualifications Qualification provides trained manpower and response capability Contingency Planner PQS can support Auxiliary district planning AUXPAL provides additional CG resources
16	Exercise Support Exercises and drills allow: Members can hone skills Identify system failures Identify planning shortfalls Determine readiness and capability Tabletop to full scale exercises
17	Assets Identify personnel and facilities. Conduct an inventory of qualifications as well as personal and professional skills to better understand Auxiliary capability.
18	OPR III Inventories personnel, facilities, civilian skills Locates critical assets
19	AUXPAL Targeted recruiting based on CG needs Member qualifies in a CG program and augments Boats, cutters OPCEN/communications
20	Qualifications Attract personnel to programs, qualify, certify and maintain currency Traditional and specialty programs Transfer quals during surge ops
21	Vessels Right facility for response scenarios Fuel consumption, trailerable Consider need to protect crew from elements and fatigue Self sustaining
22	Airframes The value of AUXAIR has been proven Multiple mission profile Cost effective Consider future needs
23	Radio Capability Communication is critical at all levels (logistics, operational, command and control) Need for national Auxiliary HF frequencies Need for self sustaining, Auxiliary supported communications facilities in the disaster perimeter
24	Capabilities Planning should involve an analysis of the components of Auxiliary service in response efforts.
25	Augmentation Qualified in a CG program and improves unit manpower Programs include Marine Safety, communications or OPCEN watch, boat crew or cutter augmentation Potentially deployable, but not likely
26	Operational Support Traditional Auxiliary missions on Auxiliary platforms or in Auxiliary programs Successful in planned events Potential “disconnect” in disaster response Specialized skills may be needed on site
27	Backfill Most realistic and feasible use of Auxiliary operational support Allows active duty and reserve members to deploy to the theater while maintaining operational capacity
28	Culture of Disaster Response
29	Response assessment of Auxiliary capability and CG needs effective communication with CG, local leaders and Auxiliary members integration of CG and Auxiliary planning frequent drills to test the plan
