Supporting Tribal Public Health Capacity in Coronavirus Preparedness and Response - 2020 - The Pauma Band of Luiseño Indians holds the sovereign duty to its citizens, as well as the guests and staff frequenting the Pauma Indian Reservation, to prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health and other types of emergencies. The Pauma Band currently participates in the IHC consortium for public health services and in the ITLTRF consortium for disaster resilience support, but no public health or emergency preparedness programs are available on the Pauma Indian Reservation. Public health emergency preparedness for the Pauma Indian Reservation would be greatly improved through access to a NIMS Type III mobile emergency operations center (EOC) and an accompanying FirstNet Compact Rapid Deployable (CRD) unit to be stored and therefore immediately accessible for use on the Reservation. The project activities will include identification of the best-fit unit for each the NIMS Type III mobile EOC and the FirstNet CRD unit and procurement of the identified units. The Pauma Band expects the two units to be identified, procured, and delivered to the Pauma Indian Reservation ready for use well within the one-year project period. The outcome will be a significant increase in the public health emergency preparedness stance and response capabilities of the Pauma Band of Luiseño Indians in line with the Emergency Operations and Coordination strategy outlined in the Announcement Module.
