Emergency Management Division (EMD): 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹. The 60 Minutes report on the Los Angeles wildfire cleanup should get every emergency manager, fire chief, planner, and elected official’s attention. EPA cleared more than 9,000 properties in 28 days after the Eaton and Palisades fires. CBS reported that crews had to manage hazardous waste, toxic ash, damaged EVs, residential battery systems, and contaminated debris across the burn areas. That is the operational lesson. 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀: • 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘂𝗺-𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 Damaged EVs, e-bikes, scooters, tools, and home energy storage systems can reignite, vent toxic gases, or fail after the fire is out. EPA separately warned the public not to touch, move, tow, charge, or start fire-damaged lithium-ion battery products. • 𝗛𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Burned structures are not just “ash.” They may include lead, asbestos, pesticides, plastics, fuels, solvents, batteries, and household chemicals. • 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽𝘀 Residents need clear direction before re-entry. Who tests the home? Who clears it? Who pays? What standard applies? • 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 If your community has EVs, solar battery storage, older housing stock, narrow roads, or WUI exposure, this belongs in your recovery planning now. • 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 Photos, parcel tracking, hazardous material logs, contractor records, soil testing decisions, and resident notifications need to survive insurance, public records, and after-action review. The fire may end when containment is reached. The incident does not. Recovery is where the hidden hazards show up. Review your debris management plan, public messaging templates, and re-entry guidance before the next fire puts your community on the clock.

Healthcare incidents rarely last one operational period. Sustained operations require more than a few experienced leaders. They require depth. Strong Incident Management Teams build bench strength before the incident: trained alternates, deputy section chiefs, cross-trained leaders, and people who can step in without slowing the operation down. Real resilience is not just infrastructure redundancy. It’s leadership redundancy too. #EmergencyManagement #HealthcareEM #HICS #IncidentManagement #HealthcareLeadership #Preparedness
