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

• 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. 1 http://www.hidta.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ODMap-Overdose-Response-Framework-2018-3.29.18.pdf

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. Listed below is the direct website link and QR code to the project page: http://www.co.kent.de.us/sewerproject/ A dedicated telephone line and email address has been established to assist with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the project.
