On-Site Assistance (OSA)


On-Site Assistance (OSA) :

“On-Site Assistance develops a program to attain required emergency preparedness objectives identified. The goal of OSA is to help local communities develop and maintain maximum capabilities in order to actually conduct coordinated life-saving operations in extraordinary emergencies”. (DCPA, On-Site Assistance (MP-63), 1974, p. 1) “While the goal of OSA can be expressed in a single sentence, helping a community achieve emergency operational readiness can be a complex process involving considerable effort and requiring that many determinations be made along the way. The following questions must be answered for each community if operational readiness assistance is to be applied in the most effective manner. (1) What is the status of civil preparedness in the local community? (2) What is the existing level of emergency operational readiness in the local community? (3) How can the level of emergency operational readiness be increased? (4) What realistically can be done to make civil preparedness a vital entity within the community and to increase the community’s ability to respond to an emergency? (5) What course of action and program of assistance will be most effective within the community?”
