The Joint Operations Committee (JOC) has been investigating the feasibility of adopting a county-wide resource sharing strategy to incorporate into pandemic planning preparations and other catastrophic events where a severe reduction in available staff may be anticipated.
The Committee has decided to recommend that communities adopt a "robust" form of automatic mutual aid to address reduced staffing. The Committee strongly encourages that the authority having jurisdiction begin a staffing and resource needs assessment, and discuss resource sharing with neighboring communities.
The JOC will act as a resource for local departments to assist with planning and recommend actions, as well as, make available generic boiler plate type planning documents to assist with preparation.
The JOC will work closely with the HCFC Executive Board to begin utilization of the in-progress resource sharing matrix as a planning tool to assist local departments in resource allocation and coordiation of activities.
