URS Corporation (Project Manager) has a separate agreement with the County. The SNS is a federally owned cache of pharmaceuticals and vaccines required during certain public health emergencies (bioterrorism or naturally occurring). This plan must be designed to assure that National City first responders and their households will be provided with appropriate preventive pharmaceuticals (prophylaxis) with 48 hours of the decision to do so. Contractor shall assist the County and Project Manager to complete the plan by serving as subject matter experts and facilitate a tabletop exercise of the plan with key National City officials and first responders, and the County. Project Manager will draft an After Action Report (AAR) and revise the Contractor's Plan based on the findings and recommendations of the AAR and with concurrence of Contractor by August 30, 2006. 2 Background The dispensing of antibiotics and /or vaccines to thousands of individuals requires advanced emergency preparedness planning on the organizational and structural level, as well as the identification of necessary personnel and physical resources. The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Officer of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) with the US Department of Health and Human Services played a major role in the East Coast prophylaxis efforts for anthrax. The State of California has a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the CDC for receipt of the SNS. However, any state, region, or local jurisdiction must face the possibility that federal resources may not be available to assist if multiple areas require assets simultaneously. Structured and organized planning at the local level will help ensure a coordinated response effort that will protect the health and safety of its citizens as well as foster confidence in the public health system's ability to respond to an emergency. When a suspected or confirmed act of bioterrorism (or naturally occurring public health emergency) occurs, it may be necessary to initiate mass prophylaxis operations. The County Public Health Officer (PHO) is responsible for the overall management of emergency public health services within the Operational Area during such an event. 3 Goal The goal of this project is to develop an executable Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) Distribution and Dispensing Plan that meets County, CDC and CDHS SNS guidelines, with procedurally specific steps to provide oral medications and to track distribution and dispensing of the SNS to National City first responders and their households. Priority Exhibit A — Statement of Work National City April 2006 COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CONTRACT # AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL CITY FOR CITIES READINESS INITIATIVE ACTIVITIES EXHIBIT A - STATEMENT OF WORK focus should be on providing the medications to National City's EMS, fire, law enforcement and essential city services and their households, then expanding the coverage to other members of the City's workforce and their households.
