Michigan Transportable Emergency Surge Assistance Plan Overview
Michigan Transportable Emergency Surge Assistance (MI-TESA) Plan is a state resource established for emergency preparedness, featuring a mobile field hospital with various facilities and equipment stored strategically in Michigan. The primary healthcare mission of MI-TESA is to augment existing healthcare capabilities in disaster areas by providing services to triage priority patients. Additionally, it supports emergency management missions by providing shelter components for field response and recovery operations. Activation of MI-TESA can be authorized to fulfill various emergency management and healthcare missions in declared disaster areas.

MISSIONS PRINCIPAL HEALTHCARE MISSION To temporarily augment existing, or re-establish disrupted, rudimentary healthcare capabilities in a disaster area. Designed, equipped and staffed (staff does not come with the MI-TESA) to provide healthcare services to triage priority 2 and 3 patients who can either be treated and released or admitted for less than 24 hours for stabilization. (admission/discharge rate is 23 hours per patient, so this is not a resource to expand facility surge for patients experiencing or expected to experience a length of stay.) BETP can authorize MI-TESA s default healthcare capability and scope to be broadened based on the availability of definitive care hospital facilities in the disaster area. 5
MISSIONS (continued) PRINCIPAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MISSION To provide shelter components (shelter facilities with power, light and HVAC) to support field response and recovery operations in a declared Michigan P.A. 390 Disaster. Activation of MI-TESA may also be authorized by BETP to support a wide range of secondary emergency management and healthcare missions (e.g., fulfill an EMAC request, provide healthcare facilities at a National Special Security Event, Etc. 6
SUPPORT TEAMS R2S TESA Technical Support Team/Ambulance Strike Team (TST/AST) Transport/Unload/Unpack/Setup/Operate Physical Plant/Tear Down/ Repack/Reload/Transport TST members are R2S Staff, volunteers from hospitals, organized volunteer groups (CERT, RACES, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Michigan Volunteer Defense Force, NDMS/DMAT, etc.) and just plain old (JPO) volunteers. (NOTE: The MI-TESA is looking for more TST members, contact R2N, R2S, of R5 for more information) AST members are sponsored by Huron Valley Ambulance and Superior Ambulance. 7
Medical Staff Needs Medical Teams Will be Needed Including Registered nurses Nurse practitioners If deployed in R2N, hospitals might be asked to help run MI- TESA with support staff (think Joplin). R2N work plan asks us to plan for how we would staff the MI- TESA if the surge was in our region or if we were to help another region. Physicians and physician assistants Respiratory therapists Phlebotomists Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians Radiologists EMS/paramedics and basic Medical secretaries/unit clerks Case workers Social workers 8
