FACILITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES RECOMMENDATIONS

Facility response operations usually follow an orderly sequence that starts with the internal notification of trouble and continues through the preparation of equipment and personnel for the next emergency. There should be at least four steps to include notification, size-up, rescue/response action, and follow-up. (I) Notification: Alert facility personnel to the emergency. Sound a site alarm to:

(A) Notify personnel; (B) Stop work activities if necessary; (C) Lower background noise to hasten communications; (D) Evacuate if needed; (E) Determine if incident is reportable under flow chart on page 4; and (F) Begin emergency procedures including notification of off-site response personnel about the emergency

including essential information, such as: (1) what happened (2) where it happened (3) to whom it happened (4) when it happened (5) how it happened (if known) (6) the extent of damage/injuries (if known) (7) what assistance or equipment will be needed.




(II) Size Up: All available information about the incident and facility response capabilities should be evaluated from a safe location. The information that should be determined is: (A) What happened

(1) type of incident (2) cause of incident (3) extent of harmful release (4) extent of damage to structures, equipment and environment.

(B) Casualties (1) victims/number, location and condition (if known) (2) treatment that may be required (3) missing personnel and where they should be.

(C) What could happen. Consider the following elements: (1) types and amounts of chemicals on the facility site (2) potential for fire, explosion, or further release of hazardous substances (3) location of all personnel on site and consider further evacuation needs (4) potential for danger to public and environment.

(D) What can be done with facility responders (1) equipment and personnel needed for victim rescue and/or mitigation (2) number of facility trained response personnel (if any) (3) resources available at the site at the time (4) outside groups or agencies available for response and their response times (5) hazards involved in rescue and response.

(III) Rescue/Response Action: Based on all available information, the type of action required (if any), should be decided and the necessary steps should be implemented. No one should ever attempt emergency response actions or rescue until backup units are in place and the proper personal protective equipment is available. Evacuation routes must be identified and operations may include:

(A) Survey of casualties

(1) locate victims and assess conditions (2) determine resources needed for extrication and transport.

(B) Assessment of existing and potential hazards (1) whether to safely continue response must be determined (2) the need for evacuation of personnel and population (3) resources needed for evacuation and mitigation response.

(C) Request aid if needed.

(D) Control pollution if possible.

(E) Decontaminate all things affected if possible.

(F) Stabilize the incident.

(G) Personnel decontamination.




(IV) Follow-up: Before normal facility operations are resumed, personnel should be fully prepared and equipped to

handle another emergency. This should be insured by:

(A) Restock all equipment and supplies. (B) Review the plan to see if all steps are worthy and add any new information learned. (C) Notify all government agencies as required by law.

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY EMERGENCY PLAN FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INCIDENTS

(I) Authority and Purpose

(A) On October 17, 1986, congress enacted into law the “Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986” (SARA) [Public Law Number 99-499, 100 STAT.1613 (1986)]. One Section of SARA is Title III, the Emergency Planning and Community Right To Know Act of 1986. Title III requires the Governor of each state to appoint a State Emergency Response Commission. In turn, the Commission must divide the state into Emergency Planning Districts and establish Local Emergency Planning Committees. In Indiana, the Planning Districts are the counties, and this Committee was created to fulfill the requirements of SARA and the orders of the Governor.

(B) The purpose of this Plan is to address the potential for releases of hazardous substances within St.

Joseph County and to prepare our community to respond to the need for public protection and pollution control as a result of such releases. This Plan guides emergency responders in protecting human lives and health, protecting and preserving private and public property, and protecting the environment. This Plan shall be used to set up an Incident Command System (ICS) within the county, and will provide specific information for the different roles within the ICS.

on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and that are owned or operated by the same person (or by any person which controls, is controlled by, or under common control with such person). For the purposes of emergency reporting, the term includes motor vehicles, rolling stock, and aircraft.




(10) “Facility Emergency Coordinator” means the individual at a facility that is in charge of the Facility Hazmat Plan, and responsible for contacting assistance for the facility in the event of a release. FECs are listed in Element 3 of this Plan.

(11) “Finance Officer” means the person on the Incident Command System staff that is in charge of finance recovery, by keeping track of costs at the scene and knowing how to secure money to replace supplies.

(12) “Fire Chief” means the fireman or other person in charge of the Fire Department at the scene of a fire or emergency hazardous material incident.

(13) “Fire Department” means the Fire Department with jurisdiction over the facility or the emergency hazardous materials incident.

(14) “First Responder” means any individual that is first to discover an EHS Release. (15) “Hazardous Materials” means any hazardous chemical as defined under Section 1910.1200 of

Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations or any hazardous material as defined under Section 171 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations or any hazardous waste as defined under Section 262 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. (15.1) “HazMat Response Team” means an organized group of employees, designated by

their employer, who are expected to perform work to handle and control actual or potential leaks or spills of hazardous substances requiring possible close approach to the substance.

(16) “Health Care Provider” means any hospital, physician, clinic, or service organization giving treatment for injuries sustained due to an emergency hazardous materials incident.

(17) “Incident Commander” means an individual to be in charge of the command post and staff during an emergency hazardous materials incident occurring in the county.

(18) “Incident Command System” means the structure that will be set up by the Plan. (19) “Information Officer” means the individual that will be at the communication center that will

supply technical information about hazardous materials to be used for mitigation and personal protection.

(20) “Liaison Officer” means the person that is in charge of relating news and information pertaining to a response to the media. This person shall also assist in contacting and requesting response assistance.

(21) “Logistics Officer” means the person that is responsible for obtaining support equipment and supplies for the responders at the scene. This person should know how to activate support agencies such as the County Highway Department, Red Cross, etc.

(22) “Operation’s Officer” means the person that is directly under the Incident Commander and is responsible for the mitigation of a hazardous materials incident.

(23) “Person” means any individual, trust, firm, joint stock company, corporation (including a government corporation), partnership, association, state, municipality, commission, political subdivision of a state, or interstate body.

(24) “Planning Officer” means the person whose duties include collection, dissemination, evaluation, and use of information about the development of the incident including and assessment of the present and projected situation.

(25) “Report” means to notify the county “911” system of the occurrence of an emergency hazardous materials incident.

(26) “Safety Officer” means the individual whose duties include monitoring and assessing safety hazards to the responders throughout the course of the incident. The Safety Officer may intervene at any time during the response if he discovers additional hazards to the responders.

(27) “Staff” means the group of individuals appointed pursuant to this Plan to assist the Incident Commander in the event of an emergency hazardous materials incident.

(28) “Staging” means an area where support equipment will be kept until needed.




(B) Response Procedures. Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of an emergency hazardous materials

incident, the “911” dispatcher shall notify the Community Emergency Coordinator (CEC). The CEC shall activate the Plan and turn control of the incident over to the Incident Commander. The command staff shall assemble at their posts, be it at the scene, or the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and communication shall be set up as quickly as possible between these two points. The purpose of the staff at the EOC is to assist the Incident Commander in the performance of his duties. The primary responsibility of the staff at the scene is life safety. If the incident can be controlled, all measures should be taken to do so, but occasionally the nature of a hazmat situation is too unstable to mitigate. In these cases, all efforts shall be aimed at protection of human health. The Incident Commander (IC) should possess the knowledge needed to differentiate between the two. If possible, steps should always be taken to control the incident in order to protect human health, property, and the environment. The IC shall determine if a hazmat response team is needed at the scene. In the event that a hazmat team is requested by the IC, the dispatcher shall page the county hazmat team informing them to report to the IC at the scene. The hazmat team shall function under the incident command system. In general, responders shall proceed in the following manner: (1) Secure area - Working with law enforcement, responders should secure the area from both

pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Securing the area will involve establishing the hot zone, warm zone, cold zone, de-con, staging area, and command post. Responders should refer to the diagram at the end of this section of Standard Operating Procedures for assistance in locating these areas.

(2) Identify casualties - Safety of life and limb is of paramount importance. Identify casualties, their location, and the extent of their injuries. Casualties might be ambulatory and thus not in the hot zone. De-con with water may be appropriate and all that is necessary to facilitate transportation to local hospitals. Local hospitals operate a chemical decontamination unit in its emergency room.

(3) Identify substance - Prior to entry, identify the substance. Sources of information include paperwork at the scene including Material Safety Data Sheets, bills of lading, shipping papers, placards, labels, and interviews with facility or transportation personnel. The inventory for facilities with hazardous materials is kept at the St. Joseph County LEPC. Other sources of information include reference books at EOC, South Bend Hazmat Team.

(4) Determine level of response gear and training need to respond - If the responders are not properly trained or equipped, secure the area and await the arrival of a properly trained and equipped team.

(5) Upon entry - Approach the hot zone from uphill and upwind if possible. Enter in teams with sufficient staging and de-con personnel for support. Mitigate the release and take appropriate measures to stop the release if this can be done with the level of training and equipment available.

The duties and responsibilities of the various persons involved are detailed in the following sections.




(III) Responsibilities and Duties of the Facilities

(A) Obey the Law. All facilities in St. Joseph County are charged with obeying all local, state, and federal laws and administrative regulations pertaining to hazardous materials. These laws include, but are not limited to, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Indiana Administrative Code. The facilities’ knowledge of the requirements of these and other laws is considered imparted hereby and is presumed.

(B) Respond to Releases. All facilities in St. Joseph County are required to respond to release or

threatened releases occurring at the facility in accordance with 330 Indiana Administrative Code Sections 1-6-1 through 1-6-4. (A copy of these sections is attached hereto as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference.) A basic flow chart should be used to define a reportable release such as follows:




(C) Report Emergency Incidents. In the event of an emergency hazardous materials incident, the owner, operator, agent, or other responsible person at the facility shall notify the “911” emergency system. The facility shall inform the dispatcher of the following facts, to the extent known: (1) The name of the caller. (2) The location of the emergency. (3) The type of emergency, (fire, spill, explosion, etc.). (4) The type and amount of material involved. (5) The nature and extent of injuries. (6) Name and telephone number of the on-scene contact. (7) Characteristics of the material (color, smell, effects). (8) Physical state of the material (gas, liquid, or solid). (9) Personnel at the scene. (10) Other hazardous materials in the area.

Is the substance a hazardous material or an “Extremely Hazardous Substance”?

STOP – No report to off-site agencies is necessary.

Is release in excess of the “reportable quantity one pound of EHS has no published RQ?”

(D) Appoint Facility Emergency Coordinators. Each facility shall designate two facility coordinators. One such coordinator shall serve as the on-scene contact in the event of an emergency, and the second will serve as the facility representative on the staff and assemble with the staff at the Emergency Operations Center and remain there for the duration of the emergency. For facilities filing the “emergency and hazardous chemicals inventory” (the SARA Tier II Form), the facility coordinator listed first on the SARA Tier II Form shall serve as the facility’s on-scene contact. The facility coordinator listed second on the SARA Tier II Form shall be the facility representative on the staff and shall assemble with the staff at the Emergency Operations Center for the duration of the emergency.

The facility coordinator shall be in charge of training and hazardous material handling at the facility. With proper training at the facility, response time can be shortened. Facility coordinators should also insure that proper plans are drawn up for evacuation and personnel safety.

(E) Pay for Third Party Response. In the event that the emergency is beyond the control of both the facility

and the responding fire departments in the county, and in the event a professional hazardous materials response team is summoned to respond to and control the incident, paying for such professional third party services shall be the facility’s responsibility.

(F) Fire Department Visits. Upon notification from the fire department of its desire to visit the facility, the

facility operator shall allow the fire department to visit the facility in order to become familiar with the layout of the facility and the hazards which may be encountered there. The facility should try to supply the fire department with a floor plan-map and all EHS should be conspicuous on this map. The more the facility can provide for the fire department, the easier it is to know what will be expected of the department in an incident.

(IV) Incident Command Post

(A) Location. The incident command post can be anything from a pickup to a shelter close to the scene. It doesn’t matter what the command post is as long as it is marked as such. The command post is where the Incident Commander will be stationed and it will be the central point in any emergency hazardous materials incident. The command post should be mobile in the event the incident becomes too volatile or hazardous materials start to shift in another direction.

(B) Supplies and Equipment. At all times, the command post should be equipped with appropriate

communication equipment, this Plan, maps of surrounding areas, and maps or diagrams of the facility.




(V) Duties and Responsibilities of the Incident Commander

(A) Command the Post. The Incident Commander shall be in charge of the command post and issue such orders to the staff as are necessary and prudent to respond to the emergency hazardous materials incident. The Incident Commander may reply on the advice and guidance of the command staff to arrive at decisions.

(B) Communications. The Incident Commander shall communicate with the Emergency Operations Center

(EOC), or the Fire Department dispatcher if the EOC is not yet in operation. The Incident Commander should be aware of the span of control problems that are often encountered during incidents. He should not hesitate to set up the command system at the scene of the incident and delegate authority to his officers. If the Incident Commander tries to take care of all facets at the scene, his total attention will not be on all aspects, increasing the chance for personnel or further facility/property damages. The Incident Command System will be explained in detail further in the text.

(C) Develop and Maintain Expertise. The Incident Commander shall, by education, training, or experience,

develop expertise and acquire knowledge in responding to hazardous materials emergencies. The Incident Commander shall be familiar with the facilities and the hazardous materials within the jurisdiction and with the physical and chemical properties of the materials.

(VI) Incident Command System

(A) The Incident Command System is one of the most important tools to use in the emergency hazardous materials incident. A structured plan and properly trained personnel can respond swiftly and accurately, which will minimize damage to property and the environment. The on-site incident commander or operations chief shall insure that a proper ICS is intact and assignments for positions within the ICS are known and planned for.

(B) Incident Command System Definitions

(1) “Span of Control” means the number of personnel or responsibilities an individual, such as the Incident Commander, deals with personally. Smaller span of control is preferable to larger. For instance, the Incident Commander should be talking directly to only four or five people.

(2) “Incident Commander” means the person in charge of the scene as discussed in Section 6. (3) “Emergency Operations Center” or “EOC” means the facility located at the St. Joseph County

Emergency Management office. This is where members of the command staff, not needed at the scene, shall assemble to provide technical and equipment support. This is also where the Facility Coordinator should be to assist with specific information about the incident location.

(4) “Safety Officer” means the individual whose duties include monitoring and assessing safety hazards to the responders throughout the course of the incident. The Safety Officer may intervene at any time during the response if he discovers additional hazards to the responders. The Safety Officer reports directly to the Incident Commander.

(5) “Operations Officer” means the individual whose duties include mitigation of the emergency hazardous materials incident, search and rescue, and crowd and traffic control. The response team acts under the direction and control of the Operations Officer. Therefore, this individual must have knowledge of response, fire fighting, and rescue operations. Law enforcement personnel responsible for crowd and traffic control report to the Operations Officer who in turn reports directly to the Incident Commander.




(6) “EMS Officer” means the individual whose duties include triage, treatment, and transportation of injured personnel. In St. Joseph County, the EMS system is not equipped to enter any type of hazardous materials’ scene. It is important to remember that the personnel in need of medical assistance must first go through decontamination (de-con) before EMS can take care of them. The EMS Officer reports to the Incident Commander.

(7) “Liaison Officer” means the individual that will deal with the media. This person can be at the scene or at the communication center. It is important that media relations are closely monitored for two reasons. First and foremost is personnel safety. Media personnel must not be allowed to walk around the incident scene. Secondly, if an evacuation is needed, the Liaison Officer can get that information out quickly and to the right people. The Liaison Officer should know how to contact radio and television personnel in our area.

(8) “Logistics Officer” means the person whose duties include acquiring and providing materials, equipment, facilities, and services needed at the scene. A high-ranking county officer would probably serve well in this role. The Logistics Officer may be called on to provide anything from earth moving equipment to portable bathrooms. This individual should know how to activate public assistance departments such as the Red Cross and Salvation Army.

(9) “Information Officer” means the individual whose duties include gathering and relaying technical information to the IC. This officer must be familiar with the types of chemical technical data available and interpret it to the IC for mitigation and safety issues. The Information Officer should be posted at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and should stay there until the incident is concluded, or provision is made for a capable relief person.

(10) “Timing Officer” means the individual whose duties include collection, dissemination, evaluation, and use of information about the development of the incident including an assessment of the present and projected situation. This person should have maps of the facilities and the surrounding areas that are detailed including such things as secondary roadways, ditches, and streams. The Planning Officer must maintain information about resources and personnel committed at the scene and what else might be needed.

(11) “De-Con Officer” means the individual in charge of the decontamination line. The full description of this will be found later in the text.

(C) Incident Command System Maintenance. It is important to exercise the Incident Command System

periodically to insure that all personnel know their roles and are capable of response. After drills, a thorough debriefing will bring out points that can be built on or learned from, and if any changes need to be made, they should be taken care of as soon as possible.

The importance of an accurate and well-trained Incident Command System can never be overlooked because this system is very flexible and can be used in any emergency situation. It has been implemented in a range of situations from house fires to major building bombings and it has always made mitigation less confusing and quicker, thus saving lives and surrounding property.

(VII) Responsibilities and Duties of Law Enforcement

(A) Crowd and Traffic Control. Law enforcement officials are trained to accomplish crowd and traffic control and should be allowed to concentrate their efforts on this. Law Enforcement should consult with the Operations Officer as to perimeters and then set the perimeters up. If the situation does not call for a public evacuation, the law enforcement responsibilities should go no farther until the scene is controlled or mitigation is complete because local law enforcement does not have the personal protective equipment to respond to the actual scene of an emergency hazardous materials incident.




(B) Evacuation. In the event an evacuation is necessary, the local police agency having jurisdiction should

be in charge of the evacuation operation. The Operations Officer will receive information from the Planning Officer, Information Officer, and Incident Commander as to the area affected. If the law enforcement officials may need additional equipment, such as buses for evacuation, the Logistics Officer should know where to acquire such services. If the law enforcement agency has orders to perform an evacuation, the Incident Commander and Operations Officer can then resume their full attention to mitigation or control of the incident.

(C) Security. After an evacuation is complete, law enforcement officials must take measures to provide

security to the evacuated area. In the event of an incident stemming from illegal activity, law enforcement should provide security to the scene after the incident is over.

(VIII) De-Contamination

(A) Purpose of De-Contamination. De-contamination (De-Con) is one of the most important factors of

human safety in the emergency hazardous materials incident. An effective de-con line must be set up prior to entry into an unstable environment so any personnel (either facility or hazmat) can be decontaminated after being exposed to a hazardous substance. As mentioned earlier, the St. Joseph County EMS System does not possess the personal protective gear to protect themselves so any patients must be decontaminated prior to any treatment.

(B) Equipment and Supplies. An effective de-con line must have the following equipment:

(1) A plastic or durable canvass protective flooring must be laid out on the ground and should be elevated on the edges so as to prevent any material running off and contaminating the ground.

(2) Must have three catch pools. Personnel are to stand or sit in these pools as they are being washed down so the runoff goes into these pools and not onto the ground. (A child’s plastic wading pool works very nicely.)

(3) Need seats inside of the runoff pools. It is not recommended to use any type of wooden materials due to the difficulty of de-con of the material. The best thing to use in the pools is a plastic milk crate or something comparable that can be easily washed.

(4) There are three stages in a de-con line, so a properly equipped line will need six long handled scrub brushes and at least six spray bottles. Three of the spray bottles shall be filled with a decontaminating solution (usually mild detergent and water), and at least three will be filled with clean water to rinse off the solution.

(5) “Personal Protective Equipment.” It is a standard rule that personnel manning a de-con line are to be in the next level of protection below what the entry team is required to wear. This means the de-con line personnel should be equipped with at least level “B” personal protective equipment. Level “B” would encompass an SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus), Tyvek suit or turn-out gear, and chemical resistant gloves and boots.

(6) There shall be waste receptacles, with plastic bag liners, at both ends of the de-con line. The first one will be used in which to put tools and expended, contaminated equipment. The last one will be used in which to put clothing and protective gear (such as gloves, tape, etc.).

(C) Location of De-Con Line. The de-con line shall be placed in such a manner as where it starts in the

edge of the hot zone and works its way out by the time personnel go through the line, they should be clear and free of further contamination from the hot zone.




The de-con line should be clearly marked from a distance and should be manned for the duration of activity within the hot zone. In the event of a long response time, it will be the De-Con Officers’ duty to provide for personnel relief crews and additional supplies as needed, such as detergent or personal protective equipment.

(D) Duties and Responsibilities of the De-Con Officer. The De-Con Officer shall be in charge of the assembly, maintenance, manning, and proper use of the de-con line. It will be his responsibility to use the proper techniques to de-con the personnel that are contaminated. Below is a basic diagram of a de-con line.

The De-Con Officer should have knowledge of how to de-con wounded personnel and should be able to recognize that triage may have to start in the hot zone. Meaning the most seriously injured should be taken through de-con first. It is very important also for the De-Con Officer to make provisions to empty the pools and take care of any contaminated runoff water.

(IX) Staging (A) Purpose. The staging area will be where all non-essential and backup equipment and personnel will be

kept. The purpose of a staging area is two-fold: (1) Staging areas are the best places to prepare equipment and personnel to respond. (2) Have all non-essential equipment and personnel away from the zones eliminates more confusion

and gives essential or first response personnel more room. In the event of a large emergency hazardous materials incident, all new personnel to the scene shall report to the staging area with their equipment and shall receive orders from the Staging Officer.

(B) Duties and Responsibilities of the Staging Officer. The Staging Officer is the individual who will be

responsible for keeping an inventory of what materials, equipment, and personnel are available for use in the staging area. The Staging Officer shall work directly with the Operations Officer and when new equipment becomes available, he will let the Operations Officer know that it is in the staging area. The Staging Officer shall also insure that all personnel going out of the staging area know exactly where they are going and what their function will be.

(X) Maintenance and Exercise of the Plan

(A) Mock Emergencies. The Local Emergency Planning Committee shall be charged with maintaining and exercising the plan. At least annually, the committee or LEPC shall arrange for a mock emergency hazardous materials incident in order to evaluate the Plan, the actions of emergency responders, the staff and the Incident Command System. At a convenient time after completion of the exercise, the committee or LEPC shall meet with the staff and the participating agencies to evaluate the exercise and make recommendations for areas of improvement.

Federal Agencies: The role of the federal government in major pollution incidents, such as those which could result from a hazardous materials spill, is delineated in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan. This plan is jointly administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard (a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation). When a hazardous materials spill occurs, the entity responsible for that spill must report it to the National Response Center in Washington, DC [1-800-424-8802]. The National Response Center will then notify the Federal Response Team. In major incidents, a federal On-Site Coordinator (OSC) will respond to the site to coordinate the federal response. For incidents in Indiana, this coordinator will generally come from the U.S. EPA Region V Office in Chicago, Illinois. If this federal OSC determines the incident will require major clean-up effort, he may activate a Regional Response Team which responds to the site to make recommendations on spill clean-up and assure that the clean-up is conducted according to federal regulations and with minimum negative effects on the public health. The federal coordinator is responsible only for coordinating the federal involvement in the clean-up effort and will not attempt to control the overall management of an on-going emergency. In the event of a major spill or release of radioactive materials, the responsible federal agency will be the U.S. Department of Energy. In instances in which a spill results in a major pollution incident, the U.S. Department of Energy may respond in support of the Regional Response Team described above. Private Organizations: Although there is a variety of private agencies frequently involved in hazardous materials emergencies such as private human service agencies, utility agencies and other firms donating assistance, this section will focus on the two types of private organizations almost always involved – the private agency responsible for the spill (either a transportation carrier or the operator of a fixed facility) and the private clean-up contractors.




Private Firm Responsible for Spill The private firm which is primarily responsible for the spill, whether it be a private carrier involved in a transportation accident or a private firm on whose property a spill has occurred, has the following general responsibilities:

• To notify the appropriate local emergency response agencies. • To notify the local Community Emergency Coordinator. • To notify the appropriate state agencies. • To notify the State Emergency Response Commission through the Indiana Department of Environmental

Management. • To notify the National Response Center and other appropriate federal agencies. • To provide a representative at the Incident Command Post to coordinate with fire departments. • To assist response agencies by providing technical information about the nature and effects of the release. • To take immediate actions to contain the spill (either utilizing in-house resources or by contracting with a

private clean-up firm). • To assume the cost of the spill clean-up, disposal, replacement costs to response agencies and other

immediate liabilities as provided in local, state and federal regulations. Private Clean-Up Contractors In the course of a hazardous materials emergency, one or more private hazardous waste clean-up firms may come under contract to the entity responsible for the spill. These clean-up firms may begin work in the acute containment phase in which an immediate public health and safety risk is present and the fire department is on-site. The fire department will generally remain on-site until they have determined that immediate health and safety risks have been brought to an acceptable level. This phase may end at some point during the containment or clean-up phases, or it may last until the hazardous materials or hazardous wastes have been completely cleaned up and removed from the site. The following responsibilities of private clean-up contractors pertains primarily to the period of time in which the fire department representatives are at the site because of acute public health and safety risks:

• To provide a representative at the Incident Command Post and at the forward Hazardous Materials Team Control Point with the fire department.

• To coordinate with the jurisdictional on-scene fire department concerning all on-going containment activities. • To assure that the principal firm involved with the spill is aware of the financial arrangements under which

the private contractor is assisting in the clean up of the spill. • To advise on-site emergency response coordinators of the needs and considerations regarding its clean-up

activities. • To consult with the jurisdictional on-scene fire department regarding the plan of action to be taken by the

clean-up contractor during the containment and clean-up phases after the fire department, clean-up contractors, and other involved parties have a clear understanding of what actions, which may acutely affect public health and safety, will be taken during the containment and clean-up phases.

• To advise the jurisdictional fire department on-site emergency responsible coordinators when clean-up activities have been completed.

• To coordinate with the Department of Environmental Management in the environmental clean-up process. • To furnish the jurisdictional fire department with a detailed report of all actions taken including operations,

activities, and any other pertinent information relative to the incident for permanent record.

FACILITY NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES (I) Emergency Release Notification

(1) Release Definition: A release is defined as any “spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing,” of any substance regulated under Section 304 of SARA Title III.

(2) Facility Releases: Timely, informative and accurate notification of a hazardous material emergency is

critical for an effective emergency response operation. Section 304 of SARA Title III requires the immediate notification when the release of an extremely hazardous substance (EHS) or hazardous chemical in a quantity above the reportable quantity (RQ) occurs.

Specific information is required by the notification party such as chemical name, method of release, health effects, amount released, and protective action. In the event of a reportable release, the owner or operator of the facility, or a person in charge of the facility, must immediately notify the agencies listed in the flow chart in this section, page 3.

(3) Transportation Accidents: Releases resulting from transportation accidents are considered as releases

from a fixed facility for reporting purposes. Carrier management must comply with the provisions of this Plan as if the carrier were operating a fixed facility in St. Joseph County. They must immediately notify the agencies listed in the flow chart in this section, page 4.




(4) Additional Responsibilities: If possible, both fixed facilities and motor carriers must also: (a) Provide a representative at the Incident Command Post. (b) Assist all agencies by providing technical information about the nature and effects of the release. (c) Assist in immediate actions to contain the spill, either using in-house resources or contracting

with a private firm. (d) Assume the cost of clean-up, disposal and other liabilities as per Indiana Code 13-6-2, or

Federal Regulations and Laws.

(II) Notification of a Hazardous Materials Incident Prompt notification of a hazardous materials incident is vital and necessary to ensure the adequate response

by the appropriate local, state, or federal organizations, and/or private contractors. The following two pages detail simple flow charts for the reporting of any Hazardous Materials Incident within

St. Joseph County, Indiana. To report an incident or accident involving Hazardous Materials,

• Within or from a fixed facility – turn to page 3. • Being transported in any mode (on land, water or air) – turn to page 4.

It is not against the law to have a chemical spill or accident.

It is a violation to not immediately notify the proper officials

and provide them with the required follow-up reports.

For a complete listing of St. Joseph County Facilities and Emergency Coordinators and Plan Summaries, please refer to Element 1. PLANNING ELEMENT #5 “Methods for determining the occurrence of a release, and the area of population likely to be affected by such release.”

Planning Element #5 Task Resource Immediately, upon release of a hazardous chemical, the facility

emergency coordinator must notify the St. Joseph County EMA, the St. Joseph County Local Emergency Planning Committee and the State Emergency Response Commission. This notification must include the type of release, direction of plume, and any other information necessary for a determination of evacuation.


Upon arrival, the material involved will be detected and identified. First Responding Hazardous Materials Response Personnel, Facility Emergency Coordinator, Transport Driver

Identify immediate effects of the incident, such as potential fire and explosions, health risk to humans, environmental harm.

First Responding Hazardous Materials Response Personnel, Facility Emergency Coordinator

A list of critical facilities and facilities including but not limited to government facilities, public safety facilities, hospitals, acute care facilities, nursing homes and other facilities housing hazardous substances will be identified, updated and mapped. This list will be made available to first emergency response personnel (see Appendix 2 and 6).


A list of facilities capable of holding large groups of people including but not limited to sporting and entertainment venues, schools, day care, and public parks will be identified, updated and mapped. This list will be made available to first emergency response personnel (see Appendix 2 and 6).





RELEASE DETECTION Outside the city limits of South Bend but within St. Joseph County, 911 calls go to the Sheriff’s department. Calls to 911 within the city of South Bend go to South Bend Dispatch. Calls to 911 from within the city of Mishawaka go to Mishawaka Dispatch. These reports may come from a number of sources. Facility Reports Reports from facilities may be via automatic detection systems. Several surveillance services contract with reporting facilities in our county. Sheriff’s dispatchers must be trained to request the information stipulated in the Facilities Emergency Response Procedures Recommendations found in this Plan in Element 2. Other sources of release detection within the facility include human observation from an employee on site. The Committee requires employers to train employees to provide the dispatcher with proper information regarding the release. Responder Reports Responder reports can come from law enforcement, fire companies, emergency medical technicians, or hospitals. These reports can be based upon visual siting of a cloud, smoke, or fire. Responders at the scene of an incident should gather information on the nature of the release in a timely manner in order to provide that information to the dispatcher. Reports from Neighbors and the General Public Neighboring property owners may report releases from a facility. The Committee urges all callers to fully identify themselves and state the nature of the release and the basis upon which they believe a release has occurred. All reports will be investigated in a timely manner. Hazards Analysis Element 1 contains the hazards analysis of the facilities in St. Joseph County containing extremely hazardous substances (EHS facilities). These analyses contain maps showing the most likely affected area. The Committee urges all responders to review these pages in the event of a release from an EHS facility prior to ordering an evacuation or sheltering in place. The hazards analyses show the area population most likely to be affected in a release. Monitoring of Airborne Pollutants The Committee has no air monitoring equipment. The State Fire Marshal’s office at 317-232-2222 maintains air monitoring equipment available in emergencies. Contact should be established as early in an incident as possible to facilitate assistance from the Fire Marshal.




ALL WEATHER WIND ROSE FOR ST. JOSEPH COUNTY The plan includes a wind rose, which has proved to be a valuable planning tool. By referring to the wind rose, a planner can gain insight into the probability of wind speeds from any direction of the compass. For example, note that St. Joseph County experiences calm conditions 73.3% of the time and the wind is from due north at 10.5 to 15.5 knots 4% of the time. Wind velocity increases from the center of the rose outward to a maximum of 27.5 knots or greater.

EVACUATION PROCEDURES A decision to evacuate those persons considered at risk from a release may have to be made by an incident commander due to the limited time available. Though evacuations are normally considered voluntary in the state of Indiana, in some cases the presence of people could compound the problem and evacuation could be forced. Risk analysis and pre-planning will be used to determine evacuation plans for an incident. (1) Traffic Routes Local communities and their law enforcement agencies will be responsible for developing alternate traffic

routes around an evacuation area. (2) Evacuations Involving the Hospital The evacuation plan for local hospitals is incorporated in their internal emergency procedures’ plan. (3) Evacuations Involving Schools Rapid evacuations involving public and private elementary and high schools, during school hours, presents a

special case because schools continue to be responsible for their children. Most public school districts have prepared plans for evacuating school children using their own buses and sheltering them in other schools in the same district. However, if an evacuation is extremely urgent, students will be evacuated by whatever means are available and transported to a single reception center, if possible. School officials will continue to be responsible for students even though they may not at their own facility.

(4) Evacuations Involving the Jail The evacuation plans for the St. Joseph County Jail is incorporated in their internal emergency procedures’

plan.




(5) Evacuations Involving Local Nursing Facilities Nursing facilities have evacuation plans that are practiced annually and are incorporated in their internal

emergency procedures’ plan. (6) Critical Population Data It should be noted that peak travel times and population gatherings occur in the county at certain times of the

day. Places such as shopping centers and major highways have heavy traffic in certain time frames. If an evacuation is called for by the incident commander of an incident, consideration must be shown to

security. Public property must be guarded by the proper authorities to avoid any elements of harm or vandalism. Once public re-entry has been approved, security for the evacuated site should take caution to watch who is re-entering at this time. Studies have shown that the largest percent of looting and vandalism occurs as residents are coming back into the evacuated areas.

EVACUATION STANDARD PROCEDURES When evacuating residents from an affected area, always try to use main roads and highways. The prevailing wind for St. Joseph County is from the south-southwest (SSW) direction according to previous studies done by the St. Joseph County LEPC. For planning purposes only, this has been utilized in this study. The person or personnel in charge of any evacuation will be responsible to know the best direction of an evacuation of the time it is needed. For planning purposes only, the direction used in this study is SSW. Hazardous materials are frequently transported through St. Joseph County. These materials are indicated by a warning placard that can be found on all four sides of the vehicle transporting the material. Inside the warning placard on some loads, there is a four-digit number called the United Nations identification number, or the UN number. This indicates that the material is in a container that holds over 300 gallons or weights over 1,000 lbs. Any placard with a UN number has the potential for a large release.

EVACUATION ROUTES The following two maps show primary and secondary evacuation routes. The primary routes were determined by using the main transportation route out of South Bend. Secondary routes were determined by the amount of traffic that can be handled and accessibility. Both took into consideration St. Joseph County’s prevailing wind direction being South-Southwest (SSW). In case of emergency, law enforcement may determine other routes for evacuation depending on wind direction and location of release. These are only suggested routes. There are more suggested routes in the EHS facility’s plans.




Primary Evacuation Routes An evacuation map is on file in the St. Joseph County Emergency Management Office.

Secondary Evacuation Routes The evacuation map has both primary and secondary routes listed.




EVACUATION SHELTERS The St. Joseph County Red Cross has identified community emergency shelters and shelter managers for each facility. In addition to hazardous materials’ incidents, the Red Cross may utilize these shelters for any community disaster. In the case of an evacuation due to a hazardous materials incident, the incident commander should work with the Red Cross in determining the safest shelters to activate.

APPENDIX H GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR EVACUATION

OR IN-PLACE SHELTERING An accidental release of hazardous materials sometimes necessitates evacuation of people from certain areas to prevent injury or death. These areas can include those directly affected by toxic fumes and gases or fire and those areas that may be potentially affected during the course of the incident (e.g., through wind shift, a change in site conditions). Evacuation is a complex undertaking. Rather than attempting to provide specific step-by-step guidance for each possible scenario, we will discuss in this appendix general considerations that should be addressed in advance by the local emergency planning committee (LEPC). Specifically, this appendix will discuss: deciding whether evacuation is appropriate and necessary (Section H.1); steps in conducting an evacuation (Section H.2); and in-place sheltering as an alternative to evacuation (Section H.3). This document will not give you evacuation distances nor provide definitive guidance on estimating evacuation zones. Decisions about whether or not to evacuate as well as about evacuation distances are incident-specific and must be made at the time of an actual release. The estimated vulnerable zones should be used for planning purposes only and should not be used as an evacuation zone in an emergency response situation. H.1 MAKING A DECISION ON EVACUATION

The first evacuation consideration, determining whether an evacuation is necessary, involves a comprehensive effort to identify and consider both the nature of and circumstances surrounding the released hazardous material and its effect on people. No safe exposure levels have been established for the extremely hazardous substances (EHSs) and therefore it is not possible to calculate evacuation distances using the methods outlined in this guidance. Section H.1.1 discusses how hazardous conditions and inherent properties of the released materials affect evacuation decisions. Section H.1.2 discusses how life safety factors affect the decision on whether or not to order an evacuation.

The Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Emergency Response Guidebook provides initial isolation and evacuation distances for transportation incidents. The evacuation distances given in the guidebook are preceded by the following advice: “The [initial isolation/evacuation] table is useful only for the first twenty to thirty minutes of an incident ... There are several good reasons for suggesting that the use of the table be limited specifically to the initial phase of a no-fire spill incident during transport. The best calculations for these tables are not reliable for long vapor travel times or distances. At their best they are estimates for a cool, overcast night with gentle and shifting winds moving a non-reactive, neutrally-buoyant vapor.” The DOT Emergency Response Guidebook is intended to help first responders to make informed judgments during the initial phases of a hazardous materials transportation incident. LEPCs are cautioned not to use it as a substitute for a specific plan for responses to hazardous materials incidents.




H.1.1 Hazardous Conditions Affecting Evacuation Decisions Numerous factors affect the spread of hazardous substances into the area surrounding a

leaking/burning container or containment vessel. Evacuation decision-makers must carefully consider each of these factors in order to determine the conditions created by the release, the areas that have been or will be affected, and the health effects on people. The factors that affect evacuation include amount of released material(s) physical and chemical properties of the released material(s), health hazards, dispersion pattern, atmospheric conditions, dispersion medium, rate of release, and potential duration of release. Each of these factors is explained below.

To begin with, it is necessary to know the material’s physical and chemical properties, including:

• Physical state: solid, liquid or gas; • Odor, color, visibility; • Flammability: flashpoint, ignition temperature, flammable limits; • Specific gravity: whether material sinks or floats on water; • Vapor density: whether vapors rise or remain near ground level; • Solubility: whether material readily mixes with water; • Reactivity: whether material reacts with air, water or other materials; • Crucial temperatures: boiling point, freezing point.

It is also necessary to know the health effects resulting from a short-term exposure:

• Acute or chronic hazards; • Respiratory hazards; • Skin and eye hazards; and • Ingestion hazards.

Another consideration is the dispersion pattern of the released hazardous material, for example:

• Does the release follow the contours of the ground? • Is it a plume (vapor cloud from a point source)? • Does the release have a circular dispersion pattern (dispersing in all directions)?

Atmospheric conditions must also be addressed when determining the appropriate evacuation response to a hazardous material release. Atmospheric conditions that may affect the movement of material and evacuation procedures include:

• Wind (speed and direction); • Temperature; • Moisture (precipitation, humidity); • Air dispersion conditions (inversion or normal); and • Time of day (daylight or darkness).




Other considerations important in making evacuation decisions include:

• Whether the hazardous material is being released into air, land, and/or water and its concentration in air or water;

• Size and potential duration of the release; and • Rate of release of the material, as well as the projected rate (the rate of release may change

during the incident).

H.1.2 Life Safety Factors to Consider in Planning an Evacuation Life safety factors to consider when planning an evacuation include the number and types of people

that require evacuation and the resources needed to conduct a safe and effective evacuation. Whether the people are actually located in an area that contains hazards or are located in an area that is only threatened by hazards is a critical component of evacuation planning.

Populations in a Hazardous Area When considering people who are actually located within a hazardous area, the LEPC must address

whether responsible authorities should order people to remain indoors, rescue individuals from the area, or order a general evacuation. The “remain indoors” option should be considered when the hazards are too great to risk exposure of evacuees. (See Section H.3 for further discussion of in-place sheltering.) It may be necessary to rescue people from the hazardous area, but this would involve supplying protective equipment for evacuees to ensure their safety. The third option is to order a general evacuation. In this case people must evacuate by means of private transportation or by transportation provided by local or state government, a private sector company, or volunteer groups.

Populations in a Threatened Area For an area that is only threatened by a hazardous release, it should be determined when potential

evacuees can be evacuated before hazards reach the area. To safely evacuate the area, a significant amount of lead time may be required. Depending on the hazards and their movement (as described above), evacuation assistance personnel may not have much lead time.

Identifying People to be Evacuated Numerous factors must be considered to ensure that an evacuation is conducted in a safe and

effective manner, including how many people will be involved, where they are located, their degree of mobility, and whether there are any communication barriers to address. Potential evacuees may be found in many different locations:

• Residences • Educational institutions • Medical institutions • Health care facilities • Child care facilities • Correctional facilities • Offices • Commercial establishments




• Manufacturing/industrial/research facilities • Government facilities • Places of public assembly • Parks and other recreational areas • Sporting arenas/stadiums • Roadways

In addition to the above considerations, the LEPC must determine what persons will require special assistance in evacuating the area and whether there exists any barriers to communication between evacuees and evacuation assistance personnel. Special consideration should be given to:

• Persons lacking private transportation • The elderly • Children • Handicapped persons • The infirm • Prisoners • Non-English speaking persons

Resources Needed To accomplish a safe and effective evacuation, the LEPC must provide for appropriate and sufficient resources, including personnel, vehicles, and equipment appropriate for emergency situations. Among the agencies that would likely supply personnel during an evacuation operation are the Red Cross, police departments, fire department and emergency medical service agencies. In addition to personnel, specially equipped vehicles may have to be put in service, including:

• Lift-equipped buses and taxi cabs for handicapped persons; • Ambulances for infirm and handicapped persons; and • Vehicles for transporting persons lacking private transportation.

Making prior arrangements to ensure the availability of these vehicles in times of emergency will result in a more timely and effective evacuation. The type of equipment that will be necessary during an evacuation includes:

• Protective gear for evacuation assistance personnel (e.g., masks to protect the lungs, protective covering for the skin and eyes);

• Protective gear for evacuees who may have to be taken through an area of heavy chemical concentration;

• Communication equipment (e.g., portable and mobile radios, mobile public address systems, bull horns); and

• Evacuation tags (a tag or marker attached to a door to indicate that the occupants have been notified) for buildings that have been evacuated.




H.2 CONDUCTING AN EVACUATION

Should it be decided that an area is to be evacuated, the evacuation must be conducted in a well-coordinated, thorough, and safe manner. Evacuation involves a number of steps, which include assigning tasks to evacuation assistance personnel, informing potential evacuees, providing transportation as necessary, providing emergency medical care as necessary, providing security for evacuated areas, and sheltering evacuees as necessary. H.2.1 Evacuation Tasks

The first step is to assign tasks to evacuation assistance personnel. These tasks include information concerning:

• The specific area to evacuate; • Protective gear to be worn; • Instructions to be given to evacuees; • Transportation of evacuees who are without private transportation; • Assistance to special populations; • Shelter locations; • Security for evacuated areas; • Traffic and pedestrian control; and • Communication procedures.

The progress of the evacuation efforts must be monitored by those in charge who should also provide continuous direction to evacuation assistance personnel.

H.2.2 Evacuation Warning and Instruction The second step in an evacuation is to inform people that they must evacuate and to provide them with accurate instructions. This procedure can be accomplished in several ways:

• Door-to-Door. Requires significant manpower; is a slow process but is very thorough. • Public Address System (from a mobile unit or within a building). Requires less manpower than

a door-to-door evacuation and is quicker to accomplish but is not as thorough. • Combination of Door-to-Door and Public Address System. For some sections of an area,

door-to-door notification may be more expeditious, whereas in other areas, evacuation instructions given via a public address system may be adequate and less time consuming.

The potential evacuees might also be alerted to the emergency by means of an alerting alarm warning system that prompts them to tune in to their radios for instructions from the Emergency Broadcast System or a similar broadcast system.




H.2.3 Movement of Evacuees

The third step in an evacuation is to provide movement assistance to evacuees. Movement assistance includes:

• Arranging transportation for evacuees who are without private transportation; • Arranging for movement of the infirm and handicapped; • Traffic control; and • Encouraging evacuees to move along in an expeditious manner.

Buses and/or vans will be needed for transportation of large groups of evacuees. Evacuation of the infirm and handicapped will involve use of equipped buses, vans and/or ambulances. Traffic control involves restricting access of vehicles into the evacuated area and facilitating speedy vehicular movement out of the evacuation area.

H.2.4 Emergency Medical Care for Evacuees Should evacuees become exposed to hazards during an evacuation, emergency medical care must be

provided. If a hazardous vapor cloud were to move suddenly upon a large group of people being evacuated, numerous casualties would be possible. For this reason, it is advantageous to have emergency medical services (basic and advanced life support) units standing by in case they are needed.

H.2.5 Security in Evacuated Areas Once an area is evacuated, law enforcement personnel must guard the area to prevent looting and

other unauthorized actions. Security forces operating in or around an evacuated area must be dressed in appropriate chemical-protective gear.

H.2.6 Sheltering of Evacuees The final step in the evacuation process is to provide shelter to the evacuees. Merely advising people

to evacuate an area is inadequate. Providing shelter for them in a safe and comfortable building is of great importance, particularly at night or during inclement weather. In order to effectively serve the needs of evacuees, a shelter should have the following facilities, services and characteristics:

• One qualified person to serve as Shelter Manager – usually a Red Cross or local government

representative; • Sufficient space to avoid overcrowding; • Restroom facilities; • Shower facilities; • Specialized facilities for the handicapped; • Chairs, tables and other furniture; • Adequate lighting, temperature control, ventilation and uncontaminated water; • Telephone system and/or two-way radio; • Food and refreshments; • Adequate safety features to meet fire, building and health requirements; • Medical surveillance and care;




• Care for the young, elderly and handicapped; • Information available for evacuees concerning the emergency; and • Sufficient parking near the shelter.

Shelters should be identified and management and operational procedures should be established as part of a preparedness plan. When selecting shelters, locations must be chosen that are in areas beyond current and projected areas of hazard contamination. To ensure that evacuees are continuously sheltered in safe areas, the following actions are necessary:

• Collect and evaluate data on the spread of hazards toward shelters; • Establish and maintain communications with shelters; • Make provisions for the monitoring of hazards in and around each shelter and evaluate the

resulting data; and • Advise shelter managers when shelters will have to be evacuated because of approaching

hazards. Should shelters have to be evacuated, alternate locations must be identified and shelter coordinators notified. To ensure the health and safety of evacuees at shelters, provisions should be made for evacuee medical surveillance and care. This is especially important for evacuees who may have been exposed to hazardous materials vapors. Ideally, each shelter should have medical professionals assigned to care for evacuees. They must be alert to symptoms caused by hazardous materials and be responsible for treating victims or calling for emergency medical assistance. Evacuees showing symptoms should be separated from those unaffected. The medical professional can also assist evacuees who need prescription medicines.

H.2.7 Re-Entry into Evacuated Areas Before making the decision to authorize re-entry, data collected by the monitoring crews must be verified and the advice of health officials considered. Once the decision to authorize re-entry has been made, re-entry operations must be coordinated. These operations may be looked upon as an evacuation in reverse, as many of the same steps must be undertaken. Re-entry operations involve:

• Notifying people that they can return to evacuated areas; • Providing evacuees with special information or instructions; • Coordinating transportation for evacuees who require it; • Providing traffic control and security in areas being re-entered; • Advising people to report lingering vapors or other hazards to emergency services; and • Advising people to seek medical treatment for unusual symptoms that may be attributable to

the hazardous materials release.




H.3 IN-PLACE SHELTERING Evacuation decisions are, of necessity, very incident-specific and the use of judgment will be necessary. If the

release occurs over an extended period of time, or if there is a fire that cannot be controlled within a short time, then evacuation may be the sensible option. Evacuation during incidents involving the airborne release of EHSs is sometimes, but by no means always, necessary. Airborne toxicants can be released and move downwind so rapidly that there would be no time to evacuate residents. For short-term releases, often the most prudent course of action for the protection of the nearby residents would be to remain inside with the doors and windows closed and the heating and air conditioning systems shut off. An airborne cloud will frequently move past quickly. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and sick, may sustain more injury during evacuation than they would by staying inside and putting simple countermeasures into effect.

There are other disadvantages associated with evacuation during incidents involving airborne releases of

EHSs. Changes in wind velocity and direction are difficult to predict and could be very important if evacuation were undertaken during a release. Differences in temperature between air layers could also cause the toxic cloud to disperse in ways that would be hard to predict. These factors and others make it difficult to estimate how long the community would be exposed to a toxic cloud. Also, no safe exposure or concentration levels have been established for the general population with regard to releases of chemicals included on the list of EHSs.

In-place sheltering, therefore, may be a sensible course of action, when the risks associated with an

evacuation are outweighed by the benefits of in-place sheltering. In order for this protection measure to be effective, the affected population must be advised to follow the guidelines listed below:

• Close all doors to the outside and close and lock all windows. (Windows seal better when locked.)

Seal gaps under doorways and windows with wet towels and those around doorways and windows with duct tape or similar thick tape.

• Building superintendents should set all ventilation systems to 100 percent recirculation so that no outside air is drawn into the structure. Where this is not possible, ventilation systems should be turned off.

• Turn off all heating systems and air conditioners. • Seal any gaps around window type air conditions, bathroom exhaust fan grilles, range vents, dryer

vents, etc. with tape and plastic sheeting, wax paper, or aluminum wrap. • Turn off and cover all exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and other spaces. • Close all fireplace dampers. • Close as many internal doors as possible in homes or other buildings. • If an outdoor explosion is possible, close drapes, curtains and shades over windows. Stay away from

windows to prevent potential injury from flying glass. • If you suspect that the gas or vapor has entered the structure you are in, hold a wet cloth over your

nose and mouth. • Tune in to the Emergency Broadcast System channel on the radio or television for information

concerning the hazardous materials incident and in-place sheltering.

It should be understood that following the above guidelines will increase the effectiveness of in-place sheltering as a protective action. Following these guidelines does not ensure that this type of protective action will indeed be effective.




SHELTER-IN-PLACE PROCEDURE If a hazardous material is of the nature that adequate time will not be allowed for evacuation, or the risk does not warrant an evacuation, a shelter-in-place procedure for the public shall be initiated. Public awareness and training should be an on-going process. This is a relatively simple procedure and has an 85% to 95% effectiveness rate. To shelter-in-place, one should: 1. Go inside and close and lock all doors and windows. 2. Shut off all ventilation systems in the home. This includes air conditioning and heating, fireplace vents and flues,

all air purifying devices and ceiling fans. 3. Have a pre-determined room in the house to go to and gather everyone to that location. 4. Put plastic up around all windows, doors and vents and, if possible, use damp towels around large cracks such

as the bottom of doors. 5. Listen to a radio or television for the all clear signal or for further instruction by response authorities. Notification

will be made by cable, radio, door-to-door, or television. 6. After the all clear signal, remove everyone from the house to an outside location and open all windows and

doors to let the house ventilate well. There is a certain amount of planning for the public on sheltering in place. People should be made aware of what will be needed in advance to a release so that equipment and supplies will already be in place in the home. Needed supplies include: • Sheet plastic sufficient to cover all openings in the designated room; • Duct tape or suitable material to hold up plastic; • Non-perishable food and containers of clean water; • Preferably battery operated radio with extra batteries; • Towels; • Flashlight; and • Any special items that may be needed.

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY HAZMAT PLAN SECTION 8 – TRAINING PROGRAM

All departments, agencies and personnel within the geographical boundaries of St. Joseph County should achieve compliance with the applicable portion of IOSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120 paragraphs (9.)(6.) and (q)(7) prior to responding to any incident or spill. The standard reads as follows: (6.) “Training.” Training shall be based on the duties and function to be performed by each responder of an

emergency response organization. The skill and knowledge levels required for all new responders, those hired after the effective date of this Standard, shall be conveyed to them through training before they are permitted to take part in actual emergency operations on an incident. Responders who participate in emergency response shall be given training in accordance with the following paragraphs:

(I) First Responder Awareness Level. First responders at the awareness level are individuals who are likely to

witness or discover a hazardous substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence by notifying the proper authorities of the release. They would take no further action beyond notifying the authorities of the release. First responders at the awareness level shall have sufficient training or have had sufficient experience to objectively demonstrate competency in the following areas:

(A) An understanding of hazardous substances and the risks associated with them in an incident. (B) An understanding of the potential outcomes associated with an emergency created when hazardous

substances are present. (C) The ability to recognize the presence of hazardous substances in an emergency. (D) The ability to identify the hazardous substances, if possible. (E) An understanding of the role of the first responder awareness individual in the Emergency Response

Plan including site security and control and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Emergency Response Guidebook.

(F) The ability to realize the need for additional resources and to make appropriate notifications to the

communication center.

(II) First Responder Operations Level. First responders at the operation level are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release. They are trained to respond in a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keeping it from spreading, and preventing exposures. First responders at the operations level shall have received at least eight hours of training or have had sufficient experience to objectively demonstrate competency in the following areas in addition to those listed for the awareness level:




(A) Knowledge of the basic hazard and risk assessment techniques. (B) Know how to select and use proper personal protective equipment provided to the first responder

operation level. (C) An understanding of basic hazardous materials terms. (D) Know how to perform basic control, containment and/or confinement operations within the capabilities

of the resources and personal protective equipment available with their unit. (E) Know how to implement basic decontamination procedures. (F) An understanding of the relevant standard operating procedures and termination procedures.

(III) Hazardous Materials Technician. Hazardous materials’ technicians are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases for the purpose of stopping the release. They assume a more aggressive role than a first responder at the operations level in that they will approach the point of release in order to plug, patch, or otherwise stop the release of a hazardous substance. Hazardous materials technicians shall have received at least 24 hours of training equal to the first responder operations level and, in addition, have competency in the following areas:

(A) Know how to implement the Emergency Response Plan. (B) Know the classification, identification, and verification of known and unknown materials by using field

survey instruments and equipment. (C) Be able to function within an assigned role in the Incident Command System. (D) Know how to select and use proper specialized chemical personal protective equipment provided to the

hazardous materials technician. (E) Understand hazard and risk assessment techniques. (F) Be able to perform advance control, containment, and/or confinement operations within the capabilities

of the resources and personal protective equipment available with the unit. (G) Understand and implement decontamination procedures. (H) Understand termination procedures. (I) Understand basic chemical and toxicology terminology and behavior.




(IV) Hazardous Materials Specialist. Hazardous materials specialists are individuals who respond with and provide support to hazardous materials technicians. Their duties parallel those of the hazardous materials technician; however, those duties require a more directed or specific knowledge of the various substances they may be called upon to contain. The hazardous materials specialist would also act as the site liaison with federal, state, local and other government authorities in regard to site activities. Hazardous materials specialists shall have received at least 24 hours of training equal to the technician level and, in addition, have competency in the following areas:

(A) Know how to implement the local Emergency Response Plan. (B) Understand classification, identification and verification of known and unknown materials by using

advanced survey instruments and equipment. (C) Knowledge of the state Emergency Response Plan. (D) Be able to select and use proper specialized chemical personal protective equipment provided to the

hazardous materials specialist. (E) Understand in-depth hazard and risk techniques. (F) Be able to perform specialized control, containment and/or confinement operations within the

capabilities of the resources and personal protective equipment available. (G) Be able to determine and implement decontamination procedures. (H) Have the ability to develop a site safety and control plan. (I) Understand chemical, radiological and toxicology terminology and behavior.

(V) On-Scene Incident Commander. Incident commanders, who will assume control of the incident scene beyond the first responder awareness level, shall receive at least 24 hours of training equal to the first responder operations level and, in addition, have competency in the following areas:

(A) Know and be able to implement the Incident Command System. (B) Know how to implement the local Emergency Response Plan. (C) Know and understand the hazards and risks associated with working in chemical protective clothing. (D) Knowledge of the state Emergency Response Plan and of the federal regional response team. (E) Know and understand the importance of decontamination procedures.

(7.) “Trainers.” Trainers who teach any of the above training subjects shall have satisfactorily completed a

training course for teaching the subjects they are expected to teach, such as the courses offered by the U.S. National Fire Academy, or they shall have the training and/or academic credentials and instructional experience necessary to demonstrate competent instructional skills and a good command of the subject matter of the courses they are to teach.




In St. Joseph County, the LEPC periodically coordinates training programs that are targeted to comply with these regulations. As courses are arranged and scheduled, the committee should notify the reporting facilities and the departments and/or agencies that should have an interest in this type of training. All fire fighters should maintain a first responder awareness certification at the least, as well as representatives of reporting agencies that have hazardous materials on site or in transit. All training and certifications should be instituted within a reasonable time, according to LEPC training schedules, in order to comply with the standards set forth by IOSHA.

Local Emergency Planning Committee, All Emergency Support Functions




EXERCISES OF THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONSE PLAN

The St. Joseph County Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is charged with the responsibility for maintaining and exercising this Plan. The LEPC shall meet at least bi-monthly (in odd numbered months) to conduct business in furtherance of the letter and spirit of this Plan. At least one time per calendar year, the LEPC shall conduct an exercise of this Plan. The South Bend Fire Department HazMat Team with the township volunteers shall have two (2) tabletop, one (1) functional, and one (1) full scale exercise in a 4-year period. RELEASES The LEPC shall assure that all participants in an exercise sign a form releasing the LEPC and the County from liability in the event of injury resulting from their participation in the exercise. FORMAT Three exercise formats meet the requirements of this Plan. Exercises may be tabletop, functional or full scale. In a tabletop exercise, each agency representative describes and acts out what he or she would do at each step of the response under the circumstances given. A functional exercise involves testing or evaluating the capability of individual or multiple functions or activities within a function. For example, a functional drill may test only evacuation procedures. A full-scale exercise is a mock emergency in which the response organizations that would be involved in an actual emergency perform the actions they would take in the emergency. In general, St. Joseph County will follow the FEMA guidelines contained in the publication Hazardous Materials Exercise Evaluation Methodology (HM-EEM) for evaluation of the drill. Pertinent sections of the publication follow this page.

THE FOUNDATIONS OF EXERCISE EVALUATION This section presents an overview of the concept of exercise evaluation. It addresses the reasons for evaluation of exercises; the nature and purpose of exercise evaluation; the structure of exercise evaluation; and the results of exercises. BASICS FOR EXERCISE EVALUATION




The first and most frequent basis for evaluation of an exercise is a determination on the part of state and local governments1 that it would be useful to their hazardous materials emergency preparedness programs to have their performance in a hazardous material exercise evaluated. They may seek such an evaluation in order to increase the value of the exercise as a test of the adequacy and implementability of their response plan, as a measure of the adequacy of training efforts, or as an indicator of their general level of preparedness for response to a hazardous materials incident. The second basis for evaluation of an exercise is the existence of a statutory requirement that a state or local government conduct evaluated hazardous materials exercises. For example, a statute in the State of Ohio requires that the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) participate in an evaluated exercise each year with each Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) located within the state. The third basis for evaluation of an exercise is a joint decision by state, local governments, and the federal government that their mutual interests in greater hazardous materials emergency preparedness, arising from separate but interrelated legal foundations, would be promoted by the conduct of a joint evaluated exercise. Identifying the Goals of Exercise Evaluation It is critical that the organizations whose exercise performance will be evaluated develop a set of specific goals that they hope to achieve as a result of the exercise and as a result of the exercise evaluation.

1 Throughout this Manual we have used the generic term state to refer to any state agency with responsibility for hazardous materials emergency planning. This term refers to the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) or the State Emergency Management Agency (the precise name of this organization will vary from state to state). The term local government refers to either the chief executive agency of the local jurisdiction (e.g., a county executive or a mayor), the local emergency management agency, or the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).




Some examples of exercise goals are:

• to test the implementability of these plans and procedures; • to train response personnel in the implementation of the response plans and procedures; and • to develop perspective on the current state of preparedness for response to hazardous materials

emergencies. The focus of these goals can be directly related to exercise evaluation. If the goal is to test the implementability of plans and procedures, the objectives of the exercise evaluation can be to develop data on the extent to which the participating organizations can accomplish emergency response functions through the implementation of their plans and procedures. If the goal is to gain perspective on the level of preparedness, the objectives of the exercise evaluation can be to provide an assessment of the current capabilities of the participating organizations to perform critical emergency response functions as required by scenario events. The approach to exercise evaluation contained in this manual and the companion HM-EEM is applicable primarily to those exercises with goals related to preparedness assessments. ENHANCING THE VALUE OF EVALUATION EXERCISES THROUGH THE USE OF THE HM-EEM MANUAL AND HM-EEM This manual and the companion document, the HM-EEM, are designed to enhance the value of an evaluated exercise to participating organizations by increasing:

• the ability of the exercise participants and observers to select a set of performance standards by which the demonstration of the participating organizations can be assessed;

• the ability of the exercise evaluation team to conduct an evaluation based upon these standards and to convey its findings to the participating organizations in the context of these standards; and

• the ability of the evaluated organizations to translate the findings of the evaluation team into concrete improvements of plans and overall preparedness.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA This manual establishes performance criteria for each of the exercise objectives. These criteria are presented in language such as “response organizations should demonstrate the capability to ...” These criteria are contained in a set of evaluation elements which describe the functional response capabilities that should be demonstrated by the participating response organization. These criteria provide the basis for a realistic assessment of hazardous materials emergency preparedness capabilities, as demonstrated in exercises. The exercise objectives are derived from planning elements contained within “NRT-1: Hazardous Materials Emergency Planning Guide” (March 1987), and other more recent preparedness guidance and regulations. Objectives 2 and 10 contain performance standards developed by OSHA, published in 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1910.156, and developed by EPA, published in 40 CFR, Part 311. (The use of these standards in exercise evaluations does not and should not be construed in any way as an enforcement action relative to these regulations, as enforcement is within the sole purview of the administering agency.) The exercise evaluation objectives described within this manual have a specific functional orientation related to emergency response. Location and/or organization considerations are linked to the 16 basic objectives through Appendix A: HM-EEM Objective and Organization/ Location Cross-Reference. Given the linkage to the NRT-1




planning guidance, results of exercise evaluations using these materials can easily be translated into planning and procedural improvements. Ideally, this guidance will also facilitate a peer partnership and evaluation program between communities and among emergency preparedness and response disciplines. State or local organizations may agree to adopt these criteria explicitly as the measure by which they judge the adequacy of their own preparedness capabilities. Alternatively, organizations may agree to apply these criteria to their performance in a specific exercise in order to ascertain their current level of preparedness for hazardous materials emergencies. Additionally, organizations may elect to adapt or modify this guidance to suit their individual needs. The 16 objectives contained and described in the HM-EEM manual and the HM-EEM evaluation forms should not be considered all inclusive – some objectives may or may not apply in all scenarios, or to all participating organizations and locations. The key to objective-based evaluation using the HM-EEM manual and evaluation forms is to recognize, separate, and use only those objectives applicable and necessary to the situation. There may be cases where objectives “unique” to particular community or geographic area need to be developed for particular exercises to augment the 16 HM-EEM objectives. THE STRUCTURE OF AN EXERCISE EVALUATION The HM-EEM manual and evaluation forms provide a structure to the evaluation of a hazardous materials emergency exercise by:

• describing an exercise evaluation team; • outlining the major activities to be completed by the director of that team; • describing the process by which the observations of members of the evaluation team are translated into an

exercise report designed to maximize the contribution of the exercise evaluation to improved hazardous materials emergency preparedness;

• presenting a standard set of exercise objectives; and • presenting a standardized evaluation instrument – The Hazardous Materials – Exercise Evaluation

Methodology (HM-EEM). THE STRUCTURE OF AN EXERCISE EVALUATION TEAM The Team Concept Hazardous materials exercises are generally evaluated by an evaluation team, that is, a structured team of evaluators organized to accomplish an evaluation in a comprehensive and systematic manner. Team Size and Composition The size of an evaluation team is dependent upon several factors including:

• the type of exercise (e.g., tabletop, functional or full scale); • the purpose of the exercise; • its size and complexity (i.e., the number of objectives demonstrated, the number of organizations,

participating, and the number of locations from which the objectives are demonstrated); and • the availability of resources needed to conduct an evaluation.




As a general rule, the evaluation team should be large enough to provide for the evaluation of all objectives, organizations and locations. In a relatively small exercise, with few organizations and a limited number of objectives and locations, a simple organizational structure with a single team leader and a number of evaluators who report directly to this leader will usually suffice. In a full-scale exercise, in which a large number of objectives are demonstrated by multiple organizations at several locations, a more formal and complex structure is usually required. A typical structure of this type has a team director and a number of team leaders. The latter may direct the evaluation efforts of group leaders and evaluators. Such a team structure is depicted in Table 1.

TABLE 1: THE TEAM CONCEPT

2 A team leader is responsible for a specific aspect of the exercise. For example, there may be two team leaders: one for state activities and one for local activities. Or, in the case of multi-state or regional exercises, there may be a team leader for each participating organization. Team leaders may assign specific responsibilities to one or more group leaders. 3 A group leader may be responsible for specific locations (e.g., different counties), or the evaluation of various functions (e.g., communications, incident assessment, etc.).




ACTIVITIES AND TASKS OF THE EVALUATION TEAM DIRECTOR The responsibility of the Evaluation Team Director (ETD) is to complete two major activities and their associated tasks. These activities are to plan and manage preparations of the Exercise Evaluation Team, and to manage the development of the Exercise Evaluation Report. The tasks associated with these activities include:

ACTIVITY I: PLAN AND MANAGE PREPARATIONS OF THE EXERCISE EVALUATION TEAM

Task One: Determine the Scope of Exercise Evaluation Task Two: Determine the Evaluation Team Structure, Size and Composition

Task Three: Recruit the Evaluation Team Members Task Four: Determine the Exercise Team Schedule of Activities Task Five: Arrange for Logistics to Support Evaluation Team Task Six: Provide Materials to Evaluators

Task Seven: Develop the Format and Table of Contents for the Exercise Evaluation Report Task Eight: Conduct Pre-Exercise Briefing

ACTIVITY II: MANAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXERCISE EVALUATION REPORT

Task One: Supervise the Evaluation of the Exercise Task Two: Direct the Compilation of Evaluator Reports

Task Three: Coordinate the Identification of Exercise Issues Task Four: Manage the Completion of HM-EEMs and Preparation of Narrative Summaries Task Five: Manage the Preparation of the Exercise Evaluation Report

ACTIVITY I: PLAN AND MANAGE PREPARATIONS OF THE EXERCISE EVALUATION TEAM Task One: Determine the Scope of Exercise Evaluation This task is to be accomplished by the Evaluator Team Director (ETD) in coordination with the representatives of organizations participating in the exercise. The ETD coordinates with the participating agencies to determine the objectives to be demonstrated and evaluated during the exercise. In the event that the participating organizations have not decided on which objectives to demonstrate, the ETD should assist them in arriving at such objectives. Based upon which objectives will be demonstrated, the ETD can determine how many and what type of evaluator expertise is needed to evaluate the exercise. As a general rule, a full scale exercise should involve demonstration of at least the 16 objectives described in this manual. Based upon this coordination, the ETD determines which organizations and which locations will be demonstrating the objectives selected for the exercise.




The ETD identifies or determines the extent of play for the selected objectives. If the extent of play has already been determined by the participating organizations, the ETD needs only to ascertain what has been determined for each objective. Otherwise the ETD needs to work with the participating organizations to determine the extent of play.4 It is imperative that extent of play agreements are reached ahead of time because they may affect the number of people needed to evaluate or control the exercise. Typically in the demonstration of the objectives, organizations will be attempting to carry out their emergency functions as they would be carried out in a real emergency, subject to the limitations of conducting them in an exercise or to their exercise specific goals and purposes. For example, a response organization may have new procedures that it wishes to test, which have not yet been formally incorporated into its plan, however, the extent of play agreement provides that the new procedures to be utilized during the exercise. Extent of play agreements also specify the simulation allowed in demonstrating each objective. For example, the extent of play agreement may state that the responders will not actually fight a fire, rather they can respond to a scene with the proper equipment and personnel; or, EOCs in locations expecting minimal play will not fully activate, rather they must demonstrate the notification procedures and have someone present to answer calls. Task Two: Determine the Evaluation Team Structure, Size and Composition In this task, the ETD uses the information developed in Task One to determine a team structure that is the most appropriate to use for evaluating the particular exercise. The size of an evaluation team is dependent upon several factors such as the type of exercise, (e.g., tabletop, functional or full scale); the purpose of the exercise; its size and complexity (i.e., the number of objectives demonstrated, the number of organizations participating, and the number of locations from which the objectives are demonstrated); and the availability of resources needed to conduct an evaluation. Task Three: Recruit the Evaluation Team Members In the third task, the ETD recruits members of the evaluation team. The recruitment base for evaluators consists of emergency management response personnel from neighboring jurisdictions, representatives from state agencies or even federal agencies. Experience has shown that it is not advisable to assign the role of evaluators to personnel belonging to the organizations being evaluated. In order to properly evaluate many of the exercise objectives, evaluators will need specific technical knowledge (e.g., the evaluator(s) assigned to Objective 2, Direction and Control will need to have a thorough understanding of the Incident Command System). The ETD needs to review the list of objectives to be demonstrated, determine the knowledge and experience required for each objective, and seek the services of evaluators with the requisite knowledge and experience. Appendix C contains a matrix linking objective and the knowledge and experience of evaluators assigned to them. Appendix D contains a matrix linking objectives to organizations or locations.

4 Extent of play refers to the extent to which the objective will be demonstrated through the completion of response actions corresponding to those that would be accomplished in a real emergency.




Task Four: Determine the Exercise Team Schedule of Activities This task entails the development of a schedule that provides the dates and timeframes for the following activities:

• conduct of the pre-exercise briefing; • exercise activities; and • preparation of the exercise evaluation report.

Task Five: Arrange for Logistics to Support Evaluation Team This task entails the development of logistical arrangements in support of the evaluation team. These arrangements must provide for such matters as meeting facilities, lodging and transportation arrangements. As a general rule these arrangements need to include securing the use of facilities for plenary team sessions immediately prior to and following the exercise. Unless the exercise is to be conducted at locations that cannot be reached from a central common location in an hour’s drive, it is advisable to arrange for lodging for all members of the team in a single facility. Task Six: Provide Materials to Evaluators In this task, the ETD provides evaluators with a variety of materials that they will need to prepare for the evaluation effort. This is accomplished most effectively through the distribution of evaluator packets, containing information on such items as:

• scope of the exercise to be evaluated, including objectives to be demonstrated and extent of play agreements;

• structure of the evaluation team, including individual evaluator assignments; • exercise scenario and controller inputs;5 • exercise ground rules;6 • relevant portions of Manual of EEM; • copies of plans and procedures for assigned organizations pertinent to assigned objectives, including

maps; • portions of previous evaluation reports including description of issues and recommendations; • exercise schedule, including schedule of post-exercise activities; and • logistical information, location of meetings, lodging arrangements, etc.

Several of the items listed are to be secured by the ETD from the participating organizations; however, the last two items of information will have to be developed by the ETD. 5 An exercise scenario is a sequential, narrative account of a hypothetical incident or accident. The scenario provides the catalyst for the exercise and is intended to introduce situations which will inspire responses, and thus allow demonstration of the exercise objectives. Most scenarios are initiated with an accident resulting in a release of, or the potential for a release of, a hazardous material. 6 Exercise rules are a set of general rules on how the exercise will be conducted. Many of the same ground rules may apply in all hazardous materials exercises. Exercise rules define the role and authority of the chief controller(s), other controllers, exercise evaluators and players. Other rules for exercise conduct may include safety guidelines or information on pertinent state or local laws, or regulations that may affect exercise participants and their play. The rules may also include procedures for when and how to terminate an exercise and for giving precedence to real emergencies.




Since plans and procedures are the basis for emergency response and review, the ETD should instruct evaluators to review and understand these plans and procedures in order to anticipate the responses that are likely to occur. Task Seven: Develop the Format and Table of Contents for the Exercise Evaluation Report In this task, the ETD, in coordination with the participating organizations, develops a format and approach to the exercise evaluation report. The ETD tries to ensure that the report will meet the established objectives of the exercise evaluation and meet the needs of the participating organizations. Task Eight: Conduct Pre-Exercise Briefing In this task, the ETD provides a pre-exercise briefing to the evaluation team. In this briefing the ETD needs to make sure that the evaluators understand all the items provided in the evaluator packet. The ETD may also need to brief the team of such matters as:

• recent and significant changes to the emergency plan; • location-specific protocols; • local geography; and • local response structures.

This type of training is typically completed prior to the start of the exercise, either as part of the pre-exercise briefing or in a separate session. ACTIVITY II: MANAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXERCISE EVALUATION REPORT Task One: Supervise the Evaluation of the Exercise The critical first step in the preparation of the Exercise Evaluation Report (EER) is the development of data on the performance of the participating organizations during the exercise play. In this task, the ETD monitors and supervises the data collection activities of the exercise evaluation team during the play of the exercise. A major part of this task will be to coordinate with the exercise controllers on the progress of the exercise and to advise the exercise evaluation team of developments affecting their roles and responsibilities as data collectors. In addition, the ETD may be called upon to reassign evaluators to different objectives or locations if circumstances dictate. Task Two: Direct the Compilation of Evaluator Reports In this task, the ETD coordinates the activities of the team and group leaders, or individual evaluators to accomplish the completion of the evaluation forms and the preparation of narrative summaries. In the completion of this task, the ETD may find it useful to conduct a post-exercise evaluator debriefing in which all members of the team can present their initial impressions of the demonstrated performance, fill in gaps in their data on such performance, and check their preliminary impressions with other team members. These meetings may involve the full exercise team or be limited to team and group leaders.




Task Three: Coordinate the Identification of Exercise Issues In this task, the ETD coordinates with team and group leaders and individual evaluators to facilitate the identification of exercise issues (i.e., observed or identified problems in an organization’s performance in the demonstration of exercise objectives). It is critical that the ETD participate and guide this process to ensure that the issues are described in a consistent manner across objectives and that all issues are directly related to observed performance in the context of the objectives of both the exercise and the exercise evaluation. Task Four: Manage the Completion of HM-EEMs and Preparation of Narrative Summaries In this task, the ETD works with team and group leaders and individual evaluators to make sure that all HM-EEM forms are completed and all Points of Review are addressed, if applicable. The ETD also makes sure that narrative summaries are complete and well written, providing descriptions of the major exercise issues and documenting both positive and problematic aspects of performance. The ETD works with the evaluators to collect the HM-EEM forms and narrative summaries for use in the development of the exercise evaluation report. Task Five: Manage the Preparation of the Exercise Evaluation Report In this task, the ETD directs the preparation of the exercise evaluation report. In most exercises, the ETD prepares and issues a draft exercise report. The report is based on the evaluators’ narrative summaries and the material collected by the evaluators during the exercise. Typically, the draft report is reviewed by the exercise planners, evaluators, the state, and other participating community organizations prior to its release. After the draft report is thoroughly reviewed, the ETD issues a final report.

THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EXERCISE EVALUATOR

The purpose of this section is to describe the overall responsibilities of the hazardous materials evaluator. For the new evaluator especially, a brief description of the role of the evaluator and its relationship to others is beneficial in understanding the Hazardous Materials Exercise Process. NRT-2, Developing a Hazardous Materials Exercise Program – A Handbook for State and Local Officials, defines the various roles of participants involved in exercises. Frequently used terms that identify these roles include: players, controllers, evaluators and observers. Generally, these terms are defined as follows: PLAYERS – are exercise participants who have assignments as members of an emergency response organization or team that will be committed to execute or support specific federal, state or local efforts. These assignments can include saving lives, protecting property and public health, obtaining and managing resources, and maintaining public safety upon the occurrence of an oil or hazardous material spill or release. Players will make decisions and respond to scenario events in as realistic a manner as possible. All players should be familiar with the emergency response structure, functions and procedures that they will be expected to perform.




CONTROLLERS – are those persons whose role is to ensure that the exercise objectives are sufficiently exercised to permit evaluation, that the level of activity keeps players occupied and challenged, and that the pace of the exercise proceeds according to the scenario. EVALUATORS – are those persons assigned to each major playing element to observe the exercise and gather data. Their primary role is to observe actions taken by players and to record their observations. The evaluators’ efforts provide the major portion of the documentation necessary to critique the exercise and produce an exercise report. The evaluators may also assist the controllers in keeping the exercise on track, but will not interfere with the players in the performance of their duties. OBSERVERS – are typically part of an audience who are spectators only. Each person involved in an exercise plays an important role. The “players” are exercise participants who have had assignments in an emergency response organization or team. Players make decisions and respond to the events of the scenario or simulated emergency. “Controllers” help guide the scenario by interjecting control messages to ensure that exercise play conforms to the scenario. Controllers also keep players occupied and challenged, resolve exercise problems and monitor the safety of the exercise. During an exercise, controllers are generally assigned to particular emergency response functions and locations. Persons assigned to the role of controller may be from participating organizations. In many instances, exercise planners often serve as controllers. In a hazardous materials exercise, “observers” might be emergency management or response personnel from the involved community or neighboring communities who are planning their own exercise and may benefit from observing from the sidelines.

THE EXERCISE PROCESS AND THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EVALUATOR

The previous section briefly discussed the different groups of people involved in a hazardous materials exercise. This section will discuss in greater detail the three phases of the exercise process and how an evaluator is involved in that process. Evaluator activities are completed in three phases of an exercise: during the pre-exercise phase, during the exercise phase, and during the post-exercise phase. During all three phases of the exercise, the overall job of an evaluator is to serve as a reporter. Associated with each phase of an exercise, an “evaluator’s” specific job as a reporter is: conduct research, observe actions, and evaluate and report results. ACTIVITIES AND TASKS OF THE EVALUATOR Throughout the three phases of a hazardous materials exercise the evaluator is to complete three major activities and their associated tasks. These three major activities and associated tasks are as follows:




PRE-EXERCISE PHASE ACTIVITY I: RESEARCH AND PREPARE FOR THE EXERCISE

Task One: Receive and Review Evaluator Materials Task Two: Review the Scope of Exercise

Task Three: Attend Pre-Exercise Briefing

EXERCISE PHASE ACTIVITY II: CONDUCT THE EXERCISE

Task One: Observe Actions During the Exercise Task Two: Follow Evaluator Guidelines

POST-EXERCISE PHASE ACTIVITY III: REPORT THE RESULTS OF THE EXERCISE

Task One: Conduct After-Exercise Evaluator/Participants Interview Task Two: Participate in After-Exercise Evaluator Debriefing

Task Three: Complete HM-EEM Forms and Narrative Summary Task Four: Coordinate the Identification of Exercise Issues Task Five: Attend After-Exercise Participants’ Briefing Task Six: Review Draft Exercise Report

ACTIVITY I: RESEARCH AND PREPARE FOR THE EXERCISE In the pre-exercise phase, the evaluator’s job is to conduct research. Thorough preparation by an evaluator will ensure an accurate and comprehensive evaluation of an exercise assignment. In doing research, an exercise evaluator must understand some basics about hazardous materials emergency preparedness and complete the following tasks: Task One: Receive Evaluator Materials In this task, the evaluator receives from the Exercise Team Director (ETD) an “evaluator packet” containing a variety of materials needed to prepare for the evaluation effort. Evaluator packets generally include information on such items as:

• scope of the exercise to be evaluated, including objectives to be demonstrated and extent of play agreements; • structure of the evaluation team, including individual evaluator assignments; • exercise scenario and controller inputs;7

7 An exercise scenario is a sequential, narrative account of a hypothetical incident or accident. The scenario provides the catalyst for the exercise and is intended to introduce situations which will inspire responses, and thus allow demonstration of the exercise objectives. Most scenarios are initiated with an accident resulting in a release of, or the potential for a release of, a hazardous material.




• exercise ground rules;8 • relevant portions of HM-EEM Manual and HM-EEM; • copies of plans and procedures for assigned organizations pertinent to assigned objectives, including maps; • portions of previous evaluation reports including description of issues and recommendations; • exercise schedule, including schedule of post exercise activities; and • logistical information, location of meetings, lodging arrangements, etc.

Evaluators should review the information provided in the packet and make any necessary travel and lodging arrangement sufficiently in advance of the exercise. Task Two: Review the Scope of Exercise In this task, the evaluator needs to research the materials sent to them by the ETD. Evaluators need to:

• know what exercise objectives will be demonstrated; • know which objectives the evaluator is responsible for evaluating; • understand what extent of play agreements have been provided for; and • review the exercise scenario and exercise rules.

Since plans and procedures are the basis for emergency response and review, an evaluator should review and understand these plans and procedures in order to anticipate the responses that are likely to occur. Evaluators should be knowledgeable about the following:

• the plan’s organization and concept of operations; • the organization’s primary response authority for the basic functions; • the important acronyms used in the plan; • the specific objectives relating to the evaluation of a location or emergency response function and expected

responses based on the plans and procedures; • the status of the plan development; • the relationship between this exercise and the overall exercise program of the participating organizations; and • any specific outcome or lessons learned from previous exercises that are being applied to this exercise.

Task Three: Attend Pre-Exercise Briefing In this task, the evaluator, as part of the evaluation team, will attend a pre-exercise briefing. At the evaluators’ briefing, the ETD address such topics as evaluator assignments, extent of play agreements, exercise ground rules, scenario, guidelines for completion of evaluation forms, evaluator protocol, and safety requirements. The ETD may also brief the team on such matters as:

• recent and significant changes to the emergency plan; • location-specific protocols; • local geography; and • local response structures.

8 Exercise rules are a set of general rules on how the exercise will be conducted. Many of the same ground rules may apply in all hazardous materials exercises. Exercise rules define the role and authority of the chief controller(s), other controllers, exercise evaluators and players. Other rules for exercise conduct may include safety guidelines or information on pertinent state or local laws or regulations that may affect exercise participants and their play. The rules may also include procedures for when and how to terminate an exercise and for giving precedence to real emergencies.




ACTIVITY II: CONDUCT THE EXERCISE In the exercise phase, the evaluator’s job is to observe actions. Observing actions generally occurs during the conduct of an exercise. Task One: Observe Actions During the Exercise The exercise will be conducted under the guidance of the exercise controllers. In this task the evaluator will observe the players’ activities, make appropriate notes, record events, gather facts, times and details relevant to the exercise, and collect copies of the records produced by exercise participants (e.g., sign-in sheets, logs, copies of EBS messages, press releases and documentation records). During the exercise, evaluators observe and record the actions of the players. Generally speaking, during the exercise phase, evaluators are “invisible” and do not interfere with exercise play, except for safety reasons. Task Two: Follow Evaluator Guidelines How evaluators present themselves at an exercise affects how successful they are in obtaining necessary information. In this task, the evaluator will follow the suggested guidelines with regard to:

• the evaluator’s role and attitude; • dress and appearance at an exercise; • dealing with the media; • the fine art of gathering information; and • actual emergencies.

The following table provides some suggestions to commonly asked questions.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS EVALUATOR’S ROLE What is the evaluator’s role at an exercise and how can the evaluator’s function be best described?

• The evaluator is much like an unobtrusive reporter; the evaluator is a good listener and is able to document facts without interfering with ongoing activities.

• The evaluator is often perceived by players as a guest; be courteous, professional; offerings of refreshments, lunch and hospitality may be accepted graciously.

• Plan ahead, arriving at the specified location with the tools needed (e.g., pens, pencils, paper).

• Appropriate interaction with the exercise players helps to establish rapport with them and leads to accurate evaluations. As a professional, avoid ethnic, sexist, religious jokes or comments.

DRESS AND APPEARANCE What is acceptable clothing to wear at an exercise? Should evaluators wear a suit? And what if evaluators are evaluating field activities?

• Evaluators will be on their feet for many hours – so wear comfortable shoes. • Evaluators should dress in a professional manner suitable to the evaluation

activity. • Bluejeans and similar leisurewear may be considered appropriate for field

activities.




COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS MEDIA INTERACTIONS If a reporter from the local newspaper or television station attempts to interview an evaluator what should he/she do?

• All media inquiries should be directed to the media center or the exercise chairperson. Generally, this telephone number is provided at the pre-exercise meeting.

• In all cases, an evaluator should never provide evaluation status information or express any personal opinions to the media during the course of the exercise.

• An evaluator should very simply state that they are not allowed to provide any information on the results of the exercise.

• If asked, provide the appropriate post-exercise meeting information. INFORMATION GATHERING VIA QUESTIONING How does an evaluator find out information that is not obvious, like who a particular individual is talking to on the telephone?

• Wait until there is a lull in the action. • Do not interrupt the players in their response activities. • If an evaluator does not observe specific aspects of an organization’s

performance, ask questions of the exercise players after the exercise. • Be sure that questions do not prompt an appropriate response by the players

that they normally might have overlooked. • Work with the controller or other evaluators to obtain information.

ACTUAL EMERGENCIES Suppose a real emergency takes place during an exercise; what acceptable protocol should an evaluator follow?

• Real emergencies take precedence over exercise activities. • Document when the “break in the action” occurred. • If the real emergency prevented completion of required activities, document it

as such. • Contact the exercise chairperson or team leader if unexpected problem occurs

(e.g., credentials, obvious safety concerns) or an evaluator has a personal emergency.

ACTIVITY III: REPORT THE RESULTS OF THE EXERCISE In the post-exercise phase, the evaluator’s job is to evaluate and report the results. Results are usually reported after the exercise and can be presented in one of two ways: written and oral. There are several other after-exercise tasks in which an evaluator may be involved, including: Task One: Conduct After-Exercise Evaluator/Participants Interview In this task, the evaluator interviews exercise participants in order to gather information needed to complete their HM-EEM forms. This interview generally takes place immediately following the exercise. This time can also be used to solicit the participants’ comments and suggestions concerning the exercise. Experience has shown that many exercise participants also evaluate their own performance during an exercise. They may provide the evaluator with additional information to clarify any questions. At the direction of the ETD, evaluators may generally summarize their observations of the exercise play for the participants. In most cases, the participants are anxious to hear a brief summary of the positive aspects of their play and any indication of possible issues.




Task Two: Participate in After-Exercise Evaluator Debriefing In this task, the evaluator participates in an evaluator debriefing usually conducted by the ETD. The evaluators meet (some may work with team members) to summarize their exercise observations and documentation and identify any exercise issues. This debriefing time is also used to exchange information with evaluators who watched the same activity at different locations. This exchange of information is critical to filling in the gaps in understanding. Evaluators also participate in the development of a timeline.9 Task Three: Complete HM-EEM Forms and Narrative Summary Written results of an exercise are reported through the completion of the HM-EEM forms and narrative summary. The information gathered through the use of the HM-EEM forms provides the data from which the narrative summary is written. Narrative summaries, which are frequently the foundation of the exercise report, provide a written description of the observed actions. Narrative summaries also address any issues identified during the course of the exercise and include recommendations for improvement. Exercise issues are any observed or identified problem in an organization’s performance relating to a specific demonstration of an exercise objective. In addition to written reports, results may be reported during oral briefings presented at various times and locations. In this task, the evaluator completes the HM-EEM forms for each objective assigned to them. Evaluators complete each “point of review” and prepare a narrative summary for each objective. Much of the information for this narrative summary will come from the completed evaluation forms, but new information may become available at the evaluators’ debriefing. Complete and well-written narrative summaries:

• contain a concise description of how the objective was demonstrated; • are written objectively, stating faces and observations; • highlight positive aspects, as well as any problems identified; • avoid opinions (e.g., I think they did a good job); and • describe and document the issue(s) and recommend an approach for correcting the identified problem.

The completed evaluation forms and narrative summaries are generally submitted to a designated person, usually a group or team leader, shortly after the exercise. The leader reviews the completed forms and ascertains whether all appropriate data and information have been provided by the evaluator. Task Four: Coordinate the Identification of Exercise Issues In this task, the evaluator coordinates with the ETD and team and group leaders to identify any exercise issues (i.e., observed or identified problems in an organization’s performance in the demonstration of exercise objectives). It is critical that the evaluator follow the guidelines provided by the ETD to ensure that the issues are described in a consistent manner across objectives and that all issues are directly related to observed performance in the context of the objectives of both the exercise and the exercise evaluation.

9 A timeline or chronology of exercise events is compiled to provide a frame of reference for evaluating exercise performance and to evaluate time-sensitive actions (e.g., alert and notifications). Timelines and evaluators’ meetings are essential for determining the coordination between the various response organizations.




Task Five: Attend After-Exercise Participants’ Briefing In this task, the evaluator attends a briefing with the ETD and exercise participants to present a preliminary evaluation of the exercise. This meeting provides a means of summarizing and clarifying the results of the exercise. The participants usually present a critique of their own performance. Team leaders also present oral reports. If an evaluator is requested to present an oral report, it should be brief and include an overview of the highlights of the exercise, commendations for good performance, and a preliminary assessment of strengths and weaknesses. Task Six: Review Draft Exercise Report In this task, the evaluator, in addition to the exercise planners, the state and other participating community organizations, will be asked to review the draft report prior to its release. In most exercises, the ETD prepares a draft exercise report based on the evaluators’ narrative summaries and the material collected by the evaluators during the exercise. After the draft report is thoroughly reviewed, a final report is issued by the ETD.
