5 Concept of Operations Components A structure based on six key operational functions, Alignment of workforce structures with the concept of operations, Incident Command System (ICS) principles adapted to the Disaster Cycle Services environment, Operational financial levels based on anticipated level of commitment, Operational types based on geography, scope, and complexity of events, Specific decision drivers for scaling operations, Operations across the Disaster Cycle. 13 Operational Functions Standardizes DRO structure to ensure consistency for every event and scalability from chapter to national level operations. Adaptation of the principles of Incident Command System ensures close alignment with partners Table of Organization is standard, repeatable, and predictable, and consistently grows based on requirements of the incident. 14 Operational Functions Operational Leadership External Relations Finance and Administration Information and Planning Logistics Operations 15 5

9 Section II Scope and Type of Operations Learning Objectives Covered in this Section: Explain the types of Red Cross operations Explain the importance of the Concept of Operations to the success of an operation 25 Operation Type and Structure Operations are designated by type, based on the size, scope and complexity of the operation Each type of operation includes specific financial authorities and operational responsibilities. Types of operations are: Chapter Regional Divisional National Role of Districts in disaster operations 26 Chapter Operations Definition: Local operation contained within a chapter Financial Level: Typically do not exceed Level II, larger metro chapters may have events that are above Level II but still managed as chapter operations No shift in structure or authority, handled within steady state roles DPM has Operational Responsibility; RDO has Oversight and Management Usually staffed by local responders (DAT), team members can perform multiple operational functions 27 9

10 Chapter Operations Table of Organization 28 Regional Operations Definition: multiple chapters affected but operation is contained and resourced within regional jurisdiction. Financial Level: Typically do not exceed Level II, larger metro chapters may have events that are above Level II but still managed as regional operations No shift in structure or authority, handled within steady state roles RDO has Operational Responsibility; DDD has Oversight and Management Operations expand within 6 operational functions 29 Regional Operations Table of Organization 30 10

11 Divisional Operations Definition: Events that cross regional boundaries and/or beyond scope of a single region. Initially resourced within Division but can also be augmented with human/material resources outside Division Financial Level: Typically a Level III or above. Unique events that may be a Level II may still scale to a divisional operation Overall management and authority shift from RCE to DDE, still under DVP accountability DDD or DRMT Director has Operational Responsibility; DDE or VP has Oversight and Management Often Divisional Operations will use a DRMT, which would support and supplement many of the operational functions. 31 Divisional Operations Table of Organization 32 National Operations Definition: Multiple regions and/or divisions affected; require movement of human and material resources; create national impact and/or risk for the organization. Financial Level: Will almost always be Level III or above. Unique Level II may result in a shift to a national operation. Division Disaster Executive (or his or her designee) will assume operational command of the event as the Red Cross Coordinating Officer, while overall authority and accountability shifts from the division to the Vice President, Operations and Logistics at national headquarters

12 National Operations Table of Organization 34 Districts Tactical operational team in a temporary geographic area within the DRO Established to ensure the needs of locally impacted communities can be met effectively and efficiently while maintaining an appropriate span of control. Structured to determine needs, develop tactics and execute timely service delivery. Client facing group comprised of direct and support services as well as virtual support teams. Focused on providing direct services to clients and communities. Operates under the priorities outlined in the DRO Incident Action Plan 35 Role of DRO HQ and Districts Role of DRO HQ Ensure clients are served vs Role of District Serve clients Ensure the workforce is cared for Ensure relationships are built and sustained through empowering local decision making and resourcing districts Resource the Districts Establish strategy, priorities and objectives for entire operation vs vs vs vs Care for workforce Build and sustain relationships in assigned jurisdiction consistent with the goals and objectives of the DRO Provide services to clients and communities Execute tactics to achieve objectives 36 12

13 District Reporting Relationships District Directors report directly to the AD of Operations at DRO HQ DRO HQ assigns support functions staff to districts as needed to ensure that districts are sufficiently resourced to provide services to clients Support staff report directly to their functional lead at the DRO HQ 37 Operation Structure for Districts* DRO Director AD Operations DRO AD Logistics DRO AD Information and Planning DRO AD Finance DRO AD External Relations DRO DRO Support Functions DRO HQ District District Director Mass Care Dis aster Mental Health Logistics Information and Planning Finance External Relations District Support Functions Health Services Disaster Spiritual Care *Still in Development Casework and Recovery Planning 38 Operational Scaling Consistent structure that scales based on size, scope and complexity Additional personnel added to complete tasks; core operational structure does not change Can scale up or down Triggers for scaling: Scope / scale of the event Families affected Geographic area Cultural sensitivity Type of event Capacity of the operating unit Evolving incidents Rapidly changing conditions Volume of information Complexities Political or special interest Events with national impact Events with organizational risk 39 13

14 Scaling Transition of Leadership The continuum from a Chapter to National operation is non-linear and can move at anytime to a level that is appropriate for the size/scale/scope of the event Discussions and concurrent acknowledgment of accountability and authority as event escalates (RCE/DDE/DVP/VP,Ops and Log) Transition Briefings and use of Disaster Operations Summary Form Operational leadership will facilitate effective transitions 40 Scaling Roles and Responsibilities Operational Responsibility Oversight and Management Programmatic Support Chapter Operation DPM RDO Regional Support Functions Regional Operation RDO DDD Divisional Operation DDD, DRMT Director DDE -or- VP, Ops &Log National Operation RCCO VP, Ops & Log - or SVP, DSC Division DOCC/CWG DOCC Financial Authority RCE RCE DDE -or-dvp VP, Ops & Log 41 Operations Across the Disaster Cycle Concept of Operations applies across whole cycle of Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Provides common organizational principles regardless of phase of Disaster Cycle Ensures consistency of Red Cross services across the disaster cycle 42 14
