Affected Site Team (Proceeds to the Damaged or Affected Site)
The AST reports immediately to the damaged site to direct initial assessment activities, including but not limited to the following:
- Alert staff support department management.
- Obtain clearance to send personnel into the affected building. Remember, depending on the nature of the disaster, someone else might be in charge of your building—your own facilities department, a landlord, or the fire department. It is not automatic that you can go right in.
- Direct overall recovery operations at the affected facility, including
initial damage assessments to determine the extent of damage to the
following:
Equipment rooms (computers, voice and data communications)
Data and magnetic media
Documentation (paper)
Forms
Other
- Determine salvageable status with vendors (for example, BMS Catastrophe or SERVPRO) that have been called in by the EMT or CST.
- Coordinate receipt of replacement equipment and material as ordered by the EMT and CST.
- Coordinate the installation and testing of said equipment.
- Maintain written documentation of changes and modifications.
- Accumulate daily written recovery status reports from the assigned subordinate team leaders; prepare an overall report and forward to the CST and EMT.
