SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FEMA is collecting additional information related to non-Federal employees during contact tracing, as authorized by DHS/ALL-047 Records Related to DHS Personnel, Long-Term Trainees, Contractors, Mission Support Individuals, and Visitors During a Declared Public Health Emergency.
This update allows a reporting individual to provide information related to a COVID-19, to impacted individuals and suspected close contact individuals. Additional information that FEMA will now begin to collect include names and phone numbers. Other individual information may be provided that is directly related to the disease or illness ( e.g., testing results, symptoms, treatments, source of exposure) and FEMA contact tracers will contact all individuals who may be close contacts to inform them of the potential exposure. At that time, the close contact individual will have the option to provide additional information.
FEMA's Environmental Safety and Health (ESH) Division manages contact tracing within FEMA facilities. Individuals who report to their supervisors a suspicion of COVID-19 related symptoms will have their report tracked via a SharePoint site. Information is provided by individuals using a front-end form housed on the SharePoint site, or through a phone call to a helpline monitored by the Contact Tracing Team. In the case of a report via phone, the individual who received the call will manually enter the data into the SharePoint site. This allows FEMA to track any potential exposure to other individuals and facilities. Additionally, FEMA will use the site to contact the employee and potentially those who may have been exposed.
The SharePoint site allows two levels of permission access. The first is for all individuals with access to the FEMA Enterprise Network. Those individuals will have permission only to the submission form and to view records that they created. The second is for individuals with access to all the information that has been submitted. This is strictly limited to the FEMA ESH and individuals appointed as contact tracers by ESH.
Reports include COVID-19 symptoms present, presumptive positive, and confirmed positive/negative cases. FEMA will update the report periodically until the individual has been cleared to return to work. Also, an individual can provide FEMA with a date referencing their first medical service received related to COVID-19 and vaccination status. When a report is received, the SharePoint site creates a case ID. This is an auto-generated number that is formulated based on the state the individual reports from and the date of report.
If a report is called into the helpline related to visitors or short-term students at or on buildings, grounds, and properties that are owned, leased, or used by FEMA, the individual that was at a FEMA facility can submit a report of possible COVID-19 related symptoms to the Contact Tracing Team.
