MDERS Capability Framework (proposed 11/18/2015)
A set of MDERS goals might be:
Goal 1: Enhance integration of emergency response plans across the Maryland NCR
Goal 2: Provide logistical support to the disciplines across the Maryland NCR
Goal 3: Coordinate training and exercises across the Maryland NCR
Goal 4: Enhance integration of the Maryland NCR across the NCR region
MDERS strives toward these goals and otherwise fulfills the mission of building emergency response capabilities regionally, through processes
depicted in the following business model.

The figure below depicts the emergency management framework which lists the capabilities of an emergency management program and
identifies the relationship between those capabilities. What we refer to as capabilities can be organized into three categories: administrative
functions, emergency support functions, emergency disciplines. Investment projects are a fourth category, which are not capabilities
themselves, but are a tactic to further develop a capability.
Figure: MDERS Capability Framework
Administrative
Functions (for
any organization)
• Portfolio Management (Strategic Planning, Finance, Monitoring, Exercise/Evaluation)
• Capital Asset Management
• Human Capital Management: Org Design, Acquisition, Training, Assignment, Evaluation, Development, Separation
• Stakeholder Engagement (Sponsors, Managers, Staff Public/Private Facilities, Public)
• Community Resilience: Civilian Preparedness, Facility Preparedness, and Continuity
• Intelligence/Crime Disruption
• Communications: 9-1-1, computer aided dispatch, emergency alerting, incident reporting
• Response Coordination: Incident Management, Transportation, Mutual Aid, Emergency Contracting, Waste

disciplines)
Emergency
Functions (the
MDERS
disciplines)
• Discipline 1 (Fire Response): CBRNE response, Hazardous Materials, Water, Gas, Electric, Wildland Fire, Structure
Fire, Vehicle Fire, Restoration
• Discipline 2 (Police Response): Protection, Patrol, Traffic Control, Law Enforcement, Active Shooter Response, SWAT
Operations, Civil Unrest Operations, Forensics & Attribution
• Discipline 3 (Rescue Response): Vehicle & Machinery Rescue, Structure Fire Search, Elevator Rescue, Confined
Space Rescue, High Angle Rescue, Large Animal Rescue, Water Rescue, Helicopter Rescue
• Discipline 4 (Healthcare): Triage, Emergency Medical Services, Electonic Patient Care Reporting
• Discipline 5 (Puiblic Health Response): Disease Surveillance, Lab Processing, Quarantine, Community Posturing,
Supply Dispensing, Facility Evacuation, Medical Surge, Mass Fatality Management, Mass Veterinary Care, Family
Reunification, Crisis Counseling, Family Assistance
The below table serves as a summary of the regional emergency response capabilities, and planned MDERS efforts to assist our localities in
enhancing them. Any funding above sustainment level requests gets devoted to capabilities designated as ‘Hi’ priorities in the near term, while
‘Med’ or medium priorities receive any additional funding in the short term, or next fiscal cycle, until the point that no approved development or
investment projects exist, at which time they become ‘Lo’ priorities, funded only with sustainment funds.
