Fire Chief's have been discussing the very real possibility that when a resident calls 911, we won't have ambulance resources to send 8 12/29/2020 Orange County Hospital System Status • December 15 —total of+230 diversion hours in a 24-hour period from all Orange County hospitals... an unprecedented situation • Ambulance Patient Offload Time (APOT) increased to over 70 minutes • Pre-COVID average was 15-20 minutes • Hospitals reporting staffing shortages due to personnel with COVID- 19 infections • We only have —30 available ICU beds at any one time in Orange County, with +500 beds currently occupied Response to Hospital System Status • CDPH allowed an increase in ICU nurse : patient ratio from 1:2 to 1:3 to allow for capacity expansion • Orange County EMS instructed that hospitals cannot enter into ambulance diversion status • Deployment of mobile field hospitals throughout the County will allow for an expansion of up to 200 beds 9 12/29/2020 HBFD Response to Hospital System Status • Progressively increased emergency transport capability to account for the current situation • We normally operate four 24-hour transport units and two 12-hour day car units • Currently deploying eight 24-hour transport units to meet current demands • HB has the capacity to ad a ninth 24-hour transport unit if needed • Partnered with local area agencies for sharing of emergency transport resources to ensure continuity of service • Contingency planning for taking over patient care while at emergency rooms to place emergency transports back into service more quickly COVID-19 Predictions for Orange County • Current surge of COVID-19, which as far surpassed any previous surge, is most likely tied to Thanksgiving holiday activities • With Christmas and New Year's approaching, the potential is high for an explosion of COVID-19 cases beyond our current surge • If there is additional exponential growth from the upcoming holidays, impacts to the public health system could be catastrophic in January and February • Public behavior this holiday season will dictate the direction the virus takes in the coming months 10 12/29/2020 COVID-19 Vaccination Progress • Orange County Health Care Agency received first shipments last week, which were distributed to healthcare workers and first responders • Vaccinations will next be distributed to high risk population and long term care facilities • Vaccinations for healthy adults will likely not be available until Spring 2021 at the earliest • NOTE... vaccinations will not have an impact on the current and possible holiday surge of cases Questions? 11 Moore, Tania From: Cynthia Herrick Steele <herricksteele@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, December 21, 2020 9:46 AM To: supplementalcomm@surfcity-hb.org Subject: Public Comment Supplement Promote protecting our community thru Artwork Attachments: Protect our community jpg Ladies and Gentlemen: Please consider Adopting usage of this image that was created by a Huntington Beach resident. It was picked by a panel for the city of Los Angeles to promote positive influence is slowing the spread of the virus. This image is copyright free. The detriment of having news articles and media about no-masks will harm tourism and lower property values as people consciously avoid going where they might be around people who don't value community. This is the image we need to show that the majority of Huntington Beach residents care about community and will make sacrifices for others. People of influence can also become "Bad Influence" . Stop the spread with a new image to promote. Thank You. I would attend tonight's meeting but I am practicing safety, as I have seen the devastating effects of positive covid cases in my immediate family and friends. Thank you for your service for the benefit of our City.
