Delaware Division of Public Health
Opioid Community Crisis Response Overview
Background
Delaware’s Division of Public Health (DPH) is partnering with Health Management Associates (HMA) to
devise collaborative community-based initiatives to address the opioid epidemic. One such initiative is
the implementation of Community Response Teams (CRTs) throughout the state. CRTs are multi-
stakeholder teams that will work with DPH to build community resiliency and critical incident response
that mitigates the public health risks associated with opioid misuse and related critical events.
CRT implementation is part of DPH’s holistic opioid overdose system of care (O-SOC) efforts. The O-SOC
will apply the successes of existing statewide systems of care to curate a no wrong door public health
approach to preventing and responding to opioid overdoses throughout Delaware. In addition to the
CRTs, other O-SOC activities include:
• Establishing a legislatively mandated O-SOC Committee to support statewide efforts across the
system of care
• Facilitating enhanced coordination and alignment of opioid response activities across state
agencies
• Conducting a gap analysis of community-based services for persons at risk for opioid risk
disorder
Components of Community Crisis Response
The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) define five crisis response goals as part of the National Response Framework. Adapted
to the opioid overdose crisis, they include:
1. Prevention: The capabilities necessary to avoid an opioid overdose crisis.
2. Protection: The capabilities necessary to protect communities from the negative public health
impact associated with an opioid overdose crisis.
3. Mitigation: The capabilities necessary to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of
an overdose crisis.
4. Response: The capabilities necessary to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet
basic human needs after an overdose crisis has occurred.
5. Recovery: The capabilities necessary to assist communities affected by an opioid overdose crisis to
recover effectively.
Based on these goals, we envision that each of Delaware’s three Counties will have a Lead CRT, as well
as additional local stakeholders who participate in two neighborhood-based CRTs in each County
focused specifically on identified “hot spots” (communities with high rates of overdose in residential
areas based on DPH data). This ground-up, localized effort engages stakeholders from a variety of
sectors, including:
• First Responders
Page 3
• Hospital Emergency Departments (EDs)
• Medical Providers
• SUD Providers
• Community Groups
• Social Service Providers
• Peer Support Specialists
• Harm Reduction Stakeholders
• Local Government
Once formed, the CRTs will be activated when a significant opioid-related event occurs that is
anticipated to result in increased overdoses in an identified locale, such as a disruption in the supply
(e.g., a pill mill shut down) or a contaminated batch (e.g., containing fentanyl) that is being sold on the
street. HMA will support each CRT to establish a CRT Response Plan to respond to identified significant
opioid-related events in their community. The CRT Response Plan will be informed by the ODMAP
Overdose Response Framework1, and it will include activities across the following three phases:
After Crisis Pre-Crisis
•Debrief •Resilience
•Modify •Preparation
•Recovery •Awareness
During Crisis
•Alert
•Inform
•Activate
Each CRT will have two Co-Chairs, who will receive the alert about the event from DPH and initiate
implementation of the CRT Response Plan in collaboration with the identified CRT stakeholders.

Kent County Levy Court
US 13 Sewer
Rehabilitation Project
The US 13 sewer rehabilitation project involves installing
a small carrier pipe into a larger host pipe a.k.a “sliplining”
for 15,400 linear feet with no anticipated disruption of
sewer services. The “sliplining” method will allow work
to occur in the median with the existing pipe; therefore,
the project will only involve temporary and limited traffic
disruptions. This would include: temporary lane and turn
lane closures. The map to the left represents the project
area and the construction sequence will start south at
Garden Lane and move north up to West Denney’s
Road on US 13 (North DuPont Highway) in Dover. The
project is anticipated to be complete within five months
and will begin the last week of June, weather permitting.
Three project presentation workshops were conducted
in June to provide information to the Community in
advance of the project. If you were unable to attend the
workshops, the project presentations and information is
readily available. A specific project page was created
on the County’s website for information and updates.

A dedicated telephone line and email address has been
established to assist with any questions or concerns you
may have regarding the project.

construction value of the public improvements is $1,060,215. Attachment B shows the general location and
configuration of the subject rights-of-way. After construction was completed, City staff inspected the public
improvements and developed a list of repairs to be made to meet the City of Dover Standards and Specifications
for Public Works Construction and Water / Wastewater Handbook. As of this date, all work required by the
Public Works Director has been completed. A Release of Liabilities has been submitted as part of the
dedication process. Required as-built drawings of the infrastructure as well as videos of the sanitary sewer
mains have been provided to staff.
It should be noted that the pylon sign at the beginning of Stover Boulevard, along with the vegetation within the
