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.
