It was reported that there were several individuals and families at these two hotels who had been displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The purpose of the visit was to speak with the hotel managers to assess additional needs that these families may have related to health matters and the need for additional community resources. After this initial assessment, it was determined that it would be appropriate for a team of Oakland County Health Division staff to go to the hotel with other community partners. The assignment, given by the Manager, was to provide an initial triage, and to assess the needs of displaced persons from the Katrina affected states. In addition, the individuals would be provided with available community resources. A basic assessment form was developed by the OCHD staff, which consisted of a portion being self-reported by the individual. HOTELS ASSESSED TO DATE • Ramada Inn, 17017 W. Nine Mile Rd., Southfield, MI. • Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel, 16400 J. L. Hudson Drive. Southfield, MI. • Extended Stay America Hotel. 26250 American Drive, Southfield, MI. • Homestead Suites Hotel, 28500 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, MI. • Hawthorne Suites Hotel, 25100 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, MI. OAKLAND COUNTY HEALTH DIVISION STAFF UTILIZED The OCHD Chief of Clinic Services and three PHNs, along with two support staff and two Oakland County Critical Incident Stress Management staff attended the initial assessment of fifty individuals at the Ramada Inn in Southfield. Two additional PHNs were called in to accommodate the numbers and the needs of that group. At subsequent visits, it was determined that fewer staff was necessary. Seventeen hours have been spent in the hotels performing the initial triage. PHNs have made follow-up calls to clients if it was determined that it was necessary based on the initial triage. COMMUNITY PARTNERS The following community partners were present at one or all of the locations: • Michigan Department of Human Services • Southfield School District and /or Oakland Schools Program for the Homeless • Southfield Human Services • Southfield Emergency Preparedness • Work First • Berkley Head Start • Various counseling programs from Wayne and Oakland County • Social Security OBSERVATIONS Ninety-five individuals have been triaged by Oakland County Health Division PHNs. Individuals have come to Oakland County through formal sources, such as Red Cross relocation, and informal sources such as churches and family living in the area. With the exception of the Hawthorne Suites Hotel, the majority of people came prior to the hurricane. The last group had initially stayed at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Fifty-seven of these individuals have been registered with FEMA through the Department of Human Services - Oakland. The remaining individuals have been provided with the phone number to complete this registration. Asthma, diabetes and hypertension were the primary chronic diseases self-reported by these individuals. Two women were pregnant and there was one woman who had a possible pregnancy. Several individuals also had need for glasses and dental work. One individual had been scheduled to pick-up a new pair of dentures in Louisiana and was unable to do so due to the storm. ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Displaced persons without transportation resources were assessed at their temporary living quarters. • Presence of OCHD staff and community partners allowed a variety of needs to be met in one setting, including application for Department of Human Services programs and registration for school for children. • Representatives from Social Security were present at one location, and arranged for immediate checks for two displaced persons. • Individuals were assessed for immunizations by OCHD PHNs and referred to the Health Division for needed immunizations. • Individuals were referred to local pharmacies and to community resources for needed follow-up of medical conditions. They were provided with resources for durable medical equipment if needed as well. • One child with severe asthma was referred to OCHD Children's Special Health Care Services and a PHN referral was made to the nurse servicing the child's new school. c, • One individual was sent to the Providence Hospital Emergency Department for swollen neck glands. • Two pregnant women and one woman possibly pregnant were referred to local providers for care and offered P1-TN referrals for continued follow-up. • Several mothers and children were referred to the Oakland County WIC program. COMMUNITY RESOURCES UTILIZED • Oakland County Health Division General Clinics, WIC program, CSHCS, Dental program, Hearing and Vision program, Nurse on Call and P1-TN field service • Oakland County Critical Incident Stress Management Team • Michigan Department of Human Services • Providence Hospital and Providence Deighton Family Practice, William Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak and Botsford Pediatric Clinic • Oakland Primary Health Services • CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid Pharmacies • American Red Cross, Salvation Army and church groups on site • Lions Club ADDITIONAL NEEDS IDENTIFIED Locating transportation resources for needed referrals was extremely difficult. Providence Hospital did provide a shuttle to their facility in some situations. Some individuals had vehicles for transportation and assisted others. PHNs also reported that individuals identified a shortage of clothes for those that were very tall or large in size. Hurricane Katrina Public Assistance Narrative From Oakland County Emergency Response and Preparedness The Oakland County Emergency Response and Preparedness (ERP) Office provided staff and administrative assistance to support relief programs for Katrina evacuees. Expenses for reimbursement were generated from staff overtime, fax service charges, and printing costs for notifications and informational brochures to our cities, villages, townships (CVTs) and service agencies. The County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was partially activated upon notification of the Governors Office to the ERP Administrator on 03 September that a state-wide conference call from Governor Granholm's Office would occur on Sunday, 04 September 2005. The conference call required the Oakland County Executive, Emergency Management and other county leadership's participation as the call involved providing information, operational and procedural guidance for evacuees arriving in the State of Michigan. The Oakland County ERP Office then coordinated and conducted an emergency meeting on Tuesday, 06 September 2005 with approximately 70 key local, county, state and private agency personnel in the Oakland County Complex. Our Human Service partners / agencies identified in the County Emergency Operations Plan were provided timely and updated information on the evacuee situation and need for temporary housing. Subsequently over the next several weeks, Oakland County ERP Department and Office staff conducted site visits, attended numerous community and service agency coordination meetings and developed written informational guides to provide our CVTs and Katrina evacuees emergency information for the Oakland County area. Letters and flyers were developed and distributed to the evacuees. The County web site was updated with current information and guidance, and flyers were faxed to the local communities with pertinent human service contact telephone, addresses and other human service information. ERP Office staff assisted the City of Southfield and Auburn Hills by supplying personnel for direct victim registration assistance at the evacuee lodging sites. The Oakland County EOC continued partial activation for several weeks to receive and review situational reports from the state and the City of Southfield and participated in conference calls with the Department of Human Services and many other service / community organizations. On September 12, 15, and 22 Oakland County ERP staff faxed additional information and notice of public assistance availability meetings to all our CVTs.

Kriste Etue authorized establishment of a Public Assistance (PA) Joint Field Office (JF0) in response to Presidential Emergency Declaration FEMA-3225 for Hurricane Katrina. This declaration applies to all 83 counties in Michigan for Emergency Protective Measures (Category B) only, and is effective beginning August 29, 2005, until further notice. FEMA has appointed Janet M. Odeshoo as the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO), and Captain Etue will serve as the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAO). Captain Etue has named Joel Pepper as the State Coordinating Officer (SCO); Matt Opsommer as the Special Assistant to the SCO and the Public Assistance Officer (PAO); Colleen Mohr as the Deputy Public Assistance Officer and the Public Relations Officer; Sandy Glazier as the Financial Officer; and Dana Wolverton as the Public Information Officer (PIO). The Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division (EMD) recently completed public assistance briefings for state and local agencies involved in direct relief efforts for evacuees of Hurricane Katrina. Seven briefings were held across the state beginning Thursday, September 15 and concluding Friday, September 23, and included all state and local agencies involved in evacuee efforts. The briefings provided guidance for potential applicants to begin the registration process and offered additional information on the reimbursement process. As directed in the attached FEMA Disaster Specific Guidance #2, dated September 9, 2005, and supplemental guidance dated September 15, 2005, the four categories for eligible costs for reimbursement include transportation, labor, shelter/housing, and schools. Eligible applicants include state and local governments and Native American tribes and tribal organizations. For this emergency declaration, private non-profits (PNP) are not eligible applicants. They may, however, be reimbursed for eligible PA program expenses if they have entered into a contract or work agreement with a state or local unit of government for eligible services provided directly to evacuees. A copy of the FEMA PNP Guidance is attached. To be eligible for reimbursement, jurisdictions must complete the attached FEMA Request for Public Assistance (RPA) (Form 90-49) and return it to Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, October 7, 2005. (Please disregard the notation stating, "Expires September 30, 2005." This is the form currently being utilized by FEMA.) Since this is an open-ended incident period, you are urged to complete the RPA even if you have not yet incurred expense. Once the October 7 deadline has passed, expenses will not be eligible for those jurisdictions that have not completed the RPA.

It is anticipated that states not directly impacted by the effects of Hurricane Katrina will receive evacuees from the impacted states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Evacuees may arrive as part of an organized, government-sponsored evacuation, or by their own means. The influx of potentially thousands of evacuees from Gulf Coast states will overwhelm the local capacity of shelters operated by volunteer agencies and the American Red Cross, requiring State and local governments to act in a humanitarian fashion to meet current and anticipated sheltering needs, in both the short and long term. For this, the President has declared Emergency Declarations in several states making Federal assistance immediately available to State and local governments for 100% of the eligible costs they incur to provide shelter and care to Katrina's victims. AUTHORITY: Emergency Declarations are authorized by Title V-Emergency Assistance Programs of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act P.L. 93-288, as amended. www.fma.gov Disaster Specific Guidance #2 — Hurricane Katrina Eligible Costs for Emergency Sheltering Declarations September 9, 2005 Page 2 of 6 GUIDANCE: Applicants Eligible for Public Assistance under an Emergency Declaration: Public Assistance grants are available to State and Local Governments, certain Private Non-Profit Organizations and Indian Tribes located within designated areas. For the purposes of this guidance, the State may chose to be the single eligible applicant to receive financial assistance under this declaration or it may accept subgrant applications from eligible applicants. The applicant may contract or task any necessary agency to accomplish sheltering of evacuees from impacted areas. The applicant should claim the costs for the eligible services provided based upon a written agreement outlining payment procedures. All costs must be reasonable for the type of work performed. Eligible Costs for these Emergency Declarations Based upon the provisions of Section 502 of the Stafford Act, assistance efforts to save lives, protect property, and public health and safety and lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe can be accomplished by State and local governments or through Direct Federal Assistance (DFA) or a combination of both. Costs associated with these efforts are eligible under the Emergency Declaration.
