We have received many questions about what the schools are doing to facilitate distance learning for kids living in rural areas where service is nonexistent or unreliable. We have connected BCOE with OES to work through any potential channels for equipment or assistance. We have also connected BCOE with AT&T. We understand AT&T does not have equipment to deploy to our area for this disaster as it is all deployed supporting medical facilities, but they are working on other solutions. The Department of Education is working on a partnership with Google Classroom for both internet and Chromebooks, but they are T-mobile based, which does not really assist our area. Internet access is a key concern and numerous agencies are working to identify solutions. Most communities are experiencing an issue, which is making it difficult to get resources. I will let you know when I have more information. Thanks Casey EOC, Liaison Casey Hatcher Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Butte County Administration 25 County Center Drive, Suite 200, Oroville, CA 95965 T:530.552.3336 | M: 530.518.3508 Twitter | Facebook | YouTube | Pinterest From:Lindsey, Stanley To:Kim, Sang;Colusa - Joe Garofalo;Colusa - Lt.

Please exercise judgment before opening attachments, clicking on links, or replying. .. Hello - please disregard the first email. Corrected information! Good afternoon Region III – thank you again for your time and participation on our call today. **I heard today that Cal OES will resume the Monday - Wednesday - Friday OA Calls since the combined Region calls started this week are not meeting the needs of the OAs. However, the calls may be scheduled at 1100 moving forward instead of 1400. If that is the case, I will survey your schedule via your superstar ESCs to find a new time to continue our weekly Region III calls. This also means that CDPH will be tapped significantly more with at least 8 OA calls a week, and possibly many others on the med/health coordination side - attending our call might not be possible. Until that changes, our next call is 4/15 at 1100 - please let me know if you want specific information or topics discussed. Below are the quick notes from today's call - please let me know if I made any errors or important omissions: Fire Working through PPE ordering confusion for local fire agencies Fire may be able to get involved in solutions for EOC fatigue Some fire preseason activities are starting, including engine inspections Concerns regarding COVID-19 and fire operations including fire camps, sheltering, etc., are being looked at Law Mass fatality planning; surge planning ongoing, although most counties feel comfortable with handling expected surge (numbers are better than projected) Donated refrigerated trailers went to some OAs in the state Recommend recruiting additional personnel from within OA to provide just-in-time training in the EOC to help alleviate fatigue of primary staff Med/Health Many PPE orders are only able to be partially filled. It is recommended not to cancel direct orders with vendors with long delivery time estimates, as those orders may arrive faster than requesting through the state (which is also waiting for inventory to be delivered over the next several weeks). Med/health is releasing an online ordering process, and will provide training to MHOACs All medical resource requests should go through the MHOAC MHOACs receive bed polling report every morning CDC and CDPH websites are continually updating their guidance documents https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-for-ems.html https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Guidance.aspx Recovery Procurement training - can it be recorded for jurisdictions who cannot attend the full two hour training currently being offered? Slides of the training can be found here: https://www.caloes.ca.gov/RecoverySite/Documents/Procurement%20Standards%20for%20Local%20Government%20Under%20FEMA%20Public%20Assistance.pdf Cal OES Recovery webpage lists webinar modules as another resource: https://www.fema.gov/procurement-disaster-assistance-team Discussion around FEMA requirement that emergency protective measures were taken "at the direction or guidance of public health officials" and what that means Contact Peter Crase for information/assistance with expedited Project Worksheets Individual Assistance - only crisis counseling has been approved Emergency Management CDSS - Project Roomkey weekly call occurs Tuesdays, from 1100-1200. Joseph Rudeen will send out call info approx. 1030 day of call. Migrant worker transportation concerns discussed EOC support role to Public Health DOC discussed First 5 outreach to childcare facilities with guidance on requesting supplies Facilities were directed to place requests to county EOC, if EOC cannot fill, a mission can be entered into CalEOC for state resourcing Program came from Governor's Office SOC Situation Report no longer includes positive case totals, instead includes a link to a website that requires users to manually add data on an excel spreadsheet Trailer missions on hold pending policy development/approval PPE partial fills will stay open; no need to submit new request for amount not filled ACS setup is local responsibility, including wraparound services; state can support equipment (cots, blankets) and state facility access Actions Request that the procurement training be recorded and shared First 5 supplies for childcare facilities - will supplies purchased by OA EOC be reimbursable? Coronavirus pandemic eligible protective measures sheet - complete (emailed on 4/8/20 at 1541) Have CDPH call in next call Ask SOC to return to former positive case reporting, or at least include the statewide total on situation report in addition to the web link From 4/1 call: Add Colusa County EOC/DOC activation status to the state report - completed Confirm CalREDIE is statewide reporting program Clarify what food box contents are to be expected when requested via mission task Email from Joseph Rudeen (CDSS) on wraparound services available for homeless sheltering - completed Have a great evening!
