The Medical and Health Operational Area Coordinator program is part of the State of California Disaster Medical Response Plan. The plan is designed to facilitate communication, situational awareness, and assistance across operational areas within Region 4 of the California Medical/Health Mutual Aid System.

Recommendations for Medical-Health Resource Requests
Priority of Requests:
“Emergent" requests should only be used for situations when a requestor will have to stop or severely limit services if the resource is not fulfilled within 12 hours.
“Sustainment" requests are, in general, not being filled unless there is substantial evidence that the requestor is unable to obtain the resource via other means and ultimately leading to an immediate need.
PPE resource requests should include the following information:
“Describe Mission/Tasks"
How long are requested quantities expected to last?
How will the PPE be used (clinical care, support services, etc.)?
How many persons is the PPE for?
“Actions Taken On This Request So Far"
What is the current burn rate for the PPE you are requesting?
How much of the requested PPE do you currently have on hand?
What actions has your organization taken to procure the requested PPE on its own?
The following are
generally NOT appropriate justifications, by themselves, for elevating a
resource request:
Cost of PPE
Suspected price gouging should be reported to state and federal authorities
Unexpected delays from normal distributors may result
in an immediate need that needs to be addressed
Providers experiencing backorders and allocations from
normal vendors are expected to search for new vendors that can meet their
needs to sustain their operations
Numerous other new vendors of PPE can easily be found
by searching the internet
Product
preference
Providers are expected to use alternate product styles
that are available from commercial vendors
If requesting resources from the region and state, the
provider should be prepared to accept alternate styles than their normal
preferred product
If no alternates are
appropriate, the requestor should provide clinical or regulatory reasons
why they are unable to use alternates
Once you have submitted the resource request, your order will show approved in your account. It will then be shipped to you via UPS.
