EMERGENCY RESPONSE & EVACUATION PLAN

STATEMENT FROM THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR & COUNTY COUNCIL It has been said that the first “component” of a successful

EMERGENCY RESPONSE & EVACUATION PLAN needs to be “management commitment.” We, the County Administrator and County Council, are “sold” on the value of having a workable Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan in place for all County buildings. It is our directive that all County employees, all appointed or elected officials, and all Human Service Agencies with work places in County buildings comply with the County’s Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan.

PURPOSE

This plan is not intended as an all-inclusive safety program, but rather to provide guidelines for the evacuation of County Square should an emergency warrant such.

This plan outlines a concept of fire prevention and establishes responsibilities, requirements and uniform practices to be followed in case of fires, fire drills and other emergencies that may require building evacuation.

TO WHOM

These instructions apply to all personnel of the County of Greenville and to all visitors. While the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team is responsible for developing the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan, everyone at the facility must be involved with it. All employees must learn about the evacuation plan and everyone must practice their role within it.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - SHOOTINGS How to recognize and avoid shooting situations: 1. Avoid provocations. Don’t be insulting. Don’t write down license plate numbers

while standing in full view of the offender/offenders. Don’t engage in arguments. 2. Avoid exposing yourself. Don’t follow an angry or threatening customer out the

door. Stay on your own “turf.” 3. Be alert to potentially dangerous situations: people wielding firearms, etc. 4. Use (9) 911. Make sure you know how to use (9) 911. Have information (work

address and phone number) ready when you first call. After you call, (9) 911 will call back to confirm.

If a shooting occurs: 1. Notify the police. 2. If a person has been wounded, immediately call (9) 911 for an ambulance. 3. Get name and phone number of anyone who insists on leaving before police arrive. 4. Preserve the crime scene. Rope, tape or block off the affected area and its

surroundings. 5. Cooperate fully with the police. 6. Find all possible witnesses. Make sure the police know who they are. 7. Refer any news media requests or questions to the police. 8. People will be traumatized. They’ll be upset, some may be in shock. Comfort

them, and refer all employees/visitors involved to EMS (Employees should be referred to the Employee Assistance Program). The telephone number for the EAP is (864) 297-3066.

9. Clean-up and dispose of hazardous materials: Don’t touch anything until the

police have completed their investigation and have released the crime scene. Follow blood, body fluid and chemical disposal procedures and use proper resources to assist in the clean-up and disposal of affected areas and materials, only after the police have released the crime scene.

FIRE PREVENTION PLAN

OSHA standards require employers to provide proper exits, firefighting equipment, and employee training to prevent fire deaths and injuries in the workplace.

The Fire Prevention Plan is meant to complement the Fire Evacuation Plan in order to minimize the frequency of evacuation. The following safety controls are considered essential:

Regular inspections by the local fire inspectors Fire drills conducted as scheduled by the Emergency

Response & Evacuation Team Stairwells kept closed off by fire doors Annual/monthly check of fire extinguishers for type,

replacement and renewal date (Building Maintenance Coordinator)

Proper storage of all flammable material (Building Maintenance Coordinator)

“No Smoking” signs prominently displayed in those areas where smoking is not permitted (Building Maintenance Coordinator)

Annual/monthly check of all smoke detectors, emergency lights, and exit lights (Building Maintenance Coordinator)

All employees are to be apprised of the potential fire hazards of their job and the procedures to be followed (Department Heads)

In trying to identify all possible hazards, a review needs to be done by a team that is familiar with the facility and its operations. This team shall be the same as the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS POLICY

All County employees should have a working knowledge of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan relative to their department. They will be expected to follow the plan in case of an emergency.

It is the policy of the County of Greenville to review its Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan annually and to develop a comprehensive revision/update at least once every three years. This shall be the responsibility of the Property Management Manager and Human Resources.

8

A minimum of three (3) emergency preparedness exercises/drills will be conducted each year. This shall be the responsibility of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team.

PLANNING The effectiveness of response during emergencies depends on the amount of planning and training performed. Management must show its support for plant safety and the importance of emergency planning. It is therefore management’s responsibility to:

see that a program is instituted that it is frequently reviewed and updated

The plan must include, as a minimum, the following elements:

Emergency escape procedures and emergency escape route assignments.

Where needed, special procedures for helping physically impaired employees and visitors must be addressed in the plan.

Procedures to be followed by employees who remain to perform (or shut down) critical facility operations before the plant is evacuated.

Procedures to account for all employees after the emergency evacuation has been completed.

Rescue and medical duties for those employees who are to perform them.

The preferred means for reporting fires and other emergencies.

Names or regular job titles of persons or departments to be contacted for further information or explanation of duties under the plan.

Reentry procedures: procedures used to return to normal operation.

For emergency evacuation, the use of floor plans or workplace maps that clearly show the emergency escape routes and safe or refuge areas should be included in the plan. Department heads are responsible for insuring that County Square employees are told what actions they are to take in emergency situations that may occur in the workplace.

The Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan must be reviewed with employees:

9

Initially when the plan is developed As part of the New Employees’ Orientation Session

Whenever the employees’ responsibilities under the plan

change Whenever the plan is changed

A copy of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan should be kept where employees can conveniently refer to it. Department heads are to insure that all employees within their department read the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan, and that they are instructed concerning evacuation paths and designated assembly areas.

TRAINING

Training is important to the effectiveness of an Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan. It is the responsibility of each department to train each new hire of the standard guidelines to follow during a fire alert/drill. Each new hire should be shown the evacuation plans (walked through the evacuation routes), the designated assembly areas, the alarm systems, reporting procedures for personnel and shutdown procedures. Training will be made available to Captains and Co-captains and employees on a yearly basis. Greenville County Human Resources Department will be responsible for coordinating the training.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE & EVACUATION TEAM

County Square shall have an Emergency Response & Evacuation Team. This team will have a number of responsibilities in both developing and implementing the County’s Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan. Specifically, the team:

Establishes the objectives for the site’s Emergency

Response & Evacuation Plan Formulates the scope of the plan Develops the actual Emergency Response & Evacuation

Plan for the site Assigns duties and responsibilities within the plan to County

employees

10

(See Attachment #1: EMERGENCY RESPONSE & EVACUATION TEAM – COUNTY SQUARE)

CHAIN OF COMMAND

A chain of command has been established to minimize confusion so that employees and visitors will understand who has authority for making decisions.

BEFORE the arrival of the fire department:

Those in the chain of command are responsible to coordinate facility operations, public relations, and ensuring that outside aid is called in. The title of the one in charge will be Emergency Response & Evacuation Team Coordinator.

The duties of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team Coordinator include the following:

Assessing the situation and determining

whether an emergency exists that requires activating the emergency procedures.

Directing all efforts in the area including evacuating personnel.

Ensuring that outside emergency services such as medical aid and local fire departments are called in when necessary.

Directing the shutdown of facility operations when necessary.

1st in command: Ronnie Roberts, Property

Management Manager

2nd in command: Walt Atkins, Property Management Superintendent

3rd in command: __________, EMS Director 4th in command: Debra Ham, Human Resources

Director

5th in command: Warren Edwards, Safety & Health Coordinator

11

AFTER the arrival of the fire department:

Upon arrival at the scene, the Fire Department will be in total command of activities until it relinquishes control or gives the all clear. During the few minutes before the Fire Department’s arrival, Property Management personnel will follow their procedures of determining the location and source of the alarm, and taking any action deemed necessary by the situation.

RESPONSE CENTERS PRIMARY RESPONSE CENTER

The Emergency Response & Evacuation Team Coordinator (Ronnie Roberts) will set up as his Primary Response Center CONFERENCE ROOM A which is located just off the County Council Lobby, 301 University Ridge.

The RESPONSE CENTER should be equipped with emergency power generation equipment, if possible, or have adequate “battery power” to light the area and operate communications and other types of necessary equipment.

A designated person from the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team (the Building Maintenance Coordinator) should go directly to the ALARM PANEL in whatever phase the alarm sounds in to determine the location of the fire and then report to the CENTER.

An adequate amount of supplies that would be used at the Response Center should be stored there or be easily available. These include:

Cell Phone (direct “hotline”) Supplies of paper Pens and pencils Chalk or markers Blackboards or other surfaces where diagrams

can be drawn Tape, thumb tacks, etc. A copy of the Emergency Response &

Evacuation Plan Associated charts

12

Blueprints of buildings, piping, wiring, etc. (available in the Plans Room - see Emergency Response & Evacuation Team Coordinator)

Road and other access diagrams Megaphones (2) Flashlights Tape for roping off areas to be secured Emergency telephone numbers Telephone numbers of County officials

It is important to remember that a duplicate set of these supplies and equipment should be kept available for the Alternate Response Center.

ALTERNATE RESPONSE CENTER

It may be necessary to have an alternate area to which employees can report or that can act as a focal point for incoming and outgoing calls. Since time is an essential element for adequate response, the person designated as being in charge should make this the alternate headquarters so that he/she can be easily reached.

The Alternate Response Center (in lieu of the Greenville County Square Conference Room A) is the FOURTH FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM of the GREE NVILLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUILDING which is directly across the street from County Square at 200 University Ridge. The telephone number for the Greenville County Health Department is (864) 372-3036.

Emergency communications equipment such as cellular

phones, public address systems, or portable radio units should be present for notifying employees of the emergency and for contacting local authorities, such as law enforcement officials, private sector charitable groups, and the fire department. Arrangements may be necessary to insure that communication capabilities are available for “official” use during an emergency, and that unauthorized communications will not occur. Site telephone switchboards and telephone circuits may quickly become jammed with calls, making telephone communication difficult.

13

FIRE ALARM IMMEDIATE FIRE RESPONSE If an employee SMELLS smoke (but sees no smoke or

flame), notify Property Management and they will investigate. If a fire is found the alarm should be pulled.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT (864) 467-7190 Ronnie Roberts Work: (864) 467-7196 Cell Phone: (864) 303-6341 Walt Atkins Work: (864) 467-7195 Cell Phone: (864) 419-2474 Gilbert Burgess Work: (864) 467-7605 Cell Phone: (864) 419-2471 Stephen Pack Work: (864) 467-7496 Cell Phone: (864) 419-3974 If an employee SEES smoke or flame, they should

immediately pull the closest fire alarm and notify Property Management.

ACTIVATING ALARM

The fire alarm will activate automatically when heat, smoke or sprinkler water flow is detected, or when a manual pull station is activated. The alarm can also be activated at the master control panels. These alarms must be audible or seen by all people in County Square and have an auxiliary power supply in the event electricity is affected. The alarm is distinctive and recognizable as a signal to evacuate the work area or perform actions designated under the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan.

The County will attempt to explain to each employee the

means for reporting emergencies such as manual pull box alarms and/or telephones. Emergency phone numbers will be posted:

on or near telephones on employees’ notice boards in other conspicuous locations

14

LOCATION OF ALARM PANELS Phase I EMS Supply Room Phase II Public Services Supply Room Phase III Equipment Room/DSS

FIRE FIGHTING

County employees have NO responsibility to fight a fire. Employees that know how to properly use a fire extinguisher may attempt to extinguish a small and contained fire.

The following conditions must be met before an individual attempts to extinguish a fire:

The individual must have been trained to use a fire

extinguisher and remember how to use it properly. The fire must be small and contained. Remember fire

doubles in size every 30 seconds. The fire must be fought with your back to your exit route.

The word PASS reminds individuals of the proper use of a fire extinguisher:

Pull the pin. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. Squeeze the handle. Sweep back and forth at the base of the fire.

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM

Signs must be posted about areas protected by total flooding fire suppression systems, which use agents that are a serious health hazard such as carbon dioxide, Halon 1211, etc. Halon 1211 is in use in the computer room in the County Square complex. Signs are to be posted in the computer room by the Building Maintenance Coordinator.

15

BUILDING FIRE EXITS

County Square is equipped with multiple approved fire exits. Fire doors must not be blocked or locked to prevent emergency use when employees are within the buildings.

Exit routes from buildings must be clear and free of obstructions and properly marked with signs designating exits from the building.

EVACUATION PRECEDURES If the fire alarm sounds, employees must calmly and quickly exit the

building using the nearest stairwell and/or exit door and assemble at a designated assembly area in order to account for all building occupants. A County employee should assist any visitor to an exit if possible.

Designated “assembly areas” will be assigned by the Property Management Manager and the Human Resources Department.

Employees or visitors who are handicapped should be assisted out of the building.

Floor plans of County Square that clearly show the emergency evacuation paths and designated assembly areas will be posted:

in each department on employees’ notice boards in other conspicuous locations

Primary and alternate evacuation paths are to be posted in each

department. Each department/suite will determine alternate evacuation paths. Primary and alternate designated “assembly areas” (where employees gather after evacuation) are also to be posted in each department.

Upon activation of the alarms, EMS dispatch will insure all

gates enclosing their bays are opened fully and are not closed until the “all-clear” is sounded.

Captains are to immediately move to their assigned area. All Captains will assist in prompt, orderly evacuation of all personnel using the proper fire evacuation paths.

All employees are responsible for removing themselves and any visitors from the premises as quickly as possible in an orderly fashion.

16

Employees and visitors are to proceed immediately to the nearest exits, depending on where they are at the time.

Employees are not to attempt to return to your office area if away, unless they have been designated as a Captain or Co-Captain. Employees are, however, to report to their designated assembly area.

When all people have evacuated, the Captain will make a quick sweep of the area, inquiring loudly “Is everyone out?”

People in restrooms and common areas should be made aware that the building is being evacuated.

The Captain (the last individual to leave each section) will insure that no one is left behind, and that all doors are closed and lights are left on.

The Fire Department will want to know that each department has been cleared (unoccupied).

All entrance ways and drive ways to the building will be kept clear for arrival of firefighting equipment. All personnel are to move to a designated assembly area.

All personnel must insure that they are clear of the building and must be safely out of the way of emergency vehicles, including EMS, and leave fire hydrants clear.

Upon evacuation, personnel in each area will remain together and each Captain will attempt to account for all personnel.

No one will be allowed to reenter the building until the “all clear” message has been delivered by the fire department. Either the PA system or a Building Maintenance Coordinator or another member of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team will deliver the “all clear” message indicating that the building may be reentered.

EVACUATION SAFETY RULES When evacuating the building:

DO close all doors to rooms, corridors and stairwells. Stairwell doors should always remain closed

DO leave lights on DO use all emergency exits DO take any preplanned action that will protect

valuable property and vital records that does not expose you or others to harm

DO assist disabled persons by bringing them to the nearest exit

DO NOT lock doors

17

Once outside the building DO keep the building entrance and fire lanes clear of onlookers

DESIGNATED ASSEMBLY AREAS It is imperative that all staff is accounted for. Employees MUST

report to their designated area and wait with their group until the “all clear” is given. NO ONE MAY LEAVE THEIR DESIGNATED ASSEMBLY AREA ON FOOT OR BY VEHICLE without the approval of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team Coordinator.

Each department has a PRIMARY and ALTERNATE ASSEMBLY AREA. In most cases the Primary Assembly Area should be the meeting point. If conditions at the Primary Assembly Area are deemed unsafe, the Department Captain may have his/her department go to the Alternate Assembly Area.

(See Attachments #5: ALTERNATE EVACUATION PATHS & ASSEMBLY AREAS)

ACCOUNTING FOR PERSONNEL

The Fire Department will want to know that each department has been cleared (unoccupied).

DEPARTMENT CAPTAINS AND CO-CAPTAINS

Each department will assign a Captain and a Co-Captain.

(See Attachment #3: DEPARTMENT CAPTAINS AND CO- CAPTAINS)

Personnel assigned as Department Captains or Co-Captains are assigned the following duties:

Check daily for fire hazards within his or her assigned

area Keep flashlight (with fresh batteries) in an easily

accessible location. Insure that all personnel are evacuated from the

building, are moved to designated assembly area, and are not in the path of firefighting personnel

18

Insure an Emergency Evacuation Plan is posted in his/her area

Check weekly all fire extinguishers in his/her area Insure all personnel in his/her areas are familiar with

how to report a fire, the evacuation paths to use in case of fire, and the designated assembly areas.

EXCEPTIONS

The EMS dispatch area will not be totally evacuated unless specifically required by the Fire Chief, the department Captain or Back-Up Captain or a member of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Management Team, or by threat to personal safety.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

Sufficient ambulance service will be available to handle any emergency. County EMS personnel should report to the parking lot right outside of the County Council Chambers in case of a DRILL or actual EMERGENCY EVACUATION to render first aid.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES

Property Management will be responsible for shutdown procedures.

SECURITY

During an emergency, it may be necessary to secure the area to prevent unauthorized access and to protect vital records and equipment. An off-limits area may be established by cordoning off the area with ropes and signs. It may be necessary to notify local law enforcement personnel or to have security personnel to secure the area and prevent the entry of unauthorized personnel.

MEDIA DURING AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION

If contacted by the news media requesting information or comments on any matters involving the County of Greenville during an emergency evacuation, refer them to:

Bob Mihalic, Governmental Affairs Coordinator 864-467-7055

19

REENTRY PRECEDURES

All employees will report to their assigned assembly area. All personnel will remain at their designated assembly area until

given further instruction from the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team.

All personnel are to stay away from the building and out of the way of the law enforcement and fire protection personnel.

No one will be allowed to reenter the building until the “all clear” message has been delivered by the FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Emergency Response & Evacuation Team will then be the only individuals with authority to issue pass on the “all clear” order to employees. Upon the decision to reoccupy the building, each assembly area will be notified.

After the “all clear” has been given, employees may return to the building.

COMMENTS AND CONCERNS

Concerns about the drill procedures should be addressed by employees to their department head. Concerns should be passed on to a member of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team or sent in writing to:

Warren Edwards, Safety & Health Coordinator

301 University Ridge, Suite 500 Greenville, South Carolina 29601

SKETCHES AND BLUEPRINTS OF COUNTY SQUARE

Sketches and Blueprints of the County Square facility will be kept in the Plans Room. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT will be responsible for making sketches and blueprints available.

THE PHYSICAL PLAN

An important, but often neglected, aspect of creating an Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan is the “physical” plan itself. It is important that the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan be easily recognizable and usable under varying conditions. Therefore, the County’s Plan should be:

20

Specifically marked Easily reached “Protected” for use in various weather and other conditions

PRACTICE SESSIONS AND DRILLS

Practice sessions and drills are extremely important to the facility’s ability to function during an emergency. They give everyone the chance to interact “beforehand” and “run through” their activities and responsibilities. During these sessions employees can:

Discuss potential emergency situations Become familiar with their duties during an emergency Operate emergency equipment

Drills and practice sessions should include key persons from the facility, as well as outside agencies and the community.

This activity will create a “comfort” with emergency evacuation procedures so that in time of a real emergency the employees will be able to operate in an orderly and calm manner.

There are two methods of conducting drills, announced and unannounced. The use of unannounced drills should be reserved for facilities and Emergency Response & Evacuation Teams that have maintained a level of some proficiency in implementing their Emergency Evacuation Plan, as they are much more difficult to conduct.

SCHEDULING

Emergency drills and practices should be scheduled frequently enough that the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team maintains a proficiency in all aspects of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan. Some form of drill or practice should also be held in the following situations:

For new employees during their indoctrination period For transferred or promoted employees if the job change

includes a change in emergency response duties When the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan is

revised When drills show that employee performance needs

improvement

21

CRITIQUING AND AUDITING

Drills and practices are some of the most useful tools available for critiquing and auditing the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan. Practice and periodic review of the plan will reduce the risk that inadequate or obsolete portions of the plan would hamper its effectiveness when used during an actual emergency.

The final step of any drill critique or audit is to follow through on recommendations and update the Emergency Response & Evacuation Plan. Responsibility for responding to recommendations and updates should be assigned by the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team to assure that problem areas and recommendations are addressed.

FIRE AFTER NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS

If a fire occurs after normal business hours, notify the Fire Department as outlined above.

22

APPENDIX A:

BOMB THREAT PROCEDURES

Telephone bomb threats do occur, and in rare instances actual explosive devices are placed in county, state and federal buildings. Therefore, this bomb threat plan is established for the County of Greenville County Square Building. The purpose of this plan is to:

Provide for the safety of employees and visitors Minimize anxiety and panic Minimize disruption of normal activities Provide for the protection of County and State property

The County Administrator has the overall responsibility for the safety and welfare of the staff of the Greenville County Square Building. The County Administrator has authorized the Deputy County Administrator and Assistant County Administrators to assume this responsibility in his/her absence.

Deputy County Administrator: John Hansley – 467-7054 Assistant County Administrators:

Paula Gucker – 467-7007 James Dorriety – 467-2321 WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN ANSWERING A BOMB

THREAT:

While the probability is very small of receiving a warning call where an explosive or incendiary device has actually been placed, there have been instances where a threatening call was not a hoax.

Sometimes the person making a warning or threatening call has given the recipient enough information to aid in determining the caller’s identity and/or the location of the bomb.

If a bomb threat is received, personnel answering the telephone should do the following:

23

Stay calm. Do not manifest fear. Make a note as to the date and time of day. Ask, “What time is the bomb set to explode? (See BOMB THREAT CHECKLIST, pages 7 & 8 of this section). Keep the caller talking, the more he or she says the more we

can learn. Try to record every word the caller says.

Usually bomb threat callers have not planted a bomb, but are trying to intimidate an individual or agency. If appropriate questions are asked, the caller may continue to talk. Try to gain as much information as possible by keeping the conversation in progress.

The following questions could be asked, and others deemed appropriate by the person receiving the call.

There are many people in this building and we do not want

anyone hurt. When is the bomb going to explode? Exactly where is the bomb right now? What does the bomb look like? What kind of bomb is it? What will cause the bomb to explode? Did you place the bomb? Why? What is your address? (The caller will not answer, but it

doesn’t hurt to ask.) What is your name?

Listen closely to the voice of the caller and note the following:

Sex of the caller Age of the caller Race of the caller Accent (Is the voice native to the area?) Speech impediments or peculiar voice characteristics -

drunk, etc. Attitude of the caller - calm, excited, etc.

WHAT TO DO IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CALL:

The employee who received the bomb threat call should immediately call (9) 911 an d REPORT EXACTLY WHAT THE CALLER SAID. After concluding the (9) 911 call, the employee must notify their department head or supervisor who will then report the threat to the County Administrator. DO NOT discuss the call with anyone else unless authorized to do so.

24

Go directly to the PRIMARY RESPONSE CENTER (CONFERENCE ROOM A) after reporting the incident. Law enforcement personnel will be interested in talking first-hand with the person receiving the call.

Upon notification, Mr. Roberts and the other members of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team will report to the designated Primary Response Center (Conference Room A). Representatives from the local law enforcement agency and others that are responding will meet at the Primary Response Center or at the Alternate Response Center (Greenville County Health Department Building which is directly across the street from County Square at 200 University Ridge) to conduct their assignments and direct any future operations.

Upon notification, supervisors will have employees conduct a thorough visual search of work areas. SEARCH PROCEDURES ARE COVERED IN THE NEXT SECTION.

WHAT TO DO DURING THE SEARCH:

Authorities agree that the most effective and fastest search of a building can be made by the occupants of the building. Since bombs come in all shapes and sizes, it is very difficult for police or anyone unfamiliar with a building to identify an object as new or suspicious. For example, a bomb could be in a brief case, and while the occupants might know that the brief case belongs to an employee, the authorities would not.

Each individual should thoroughly visually inspect their work

area and report their findings to their supervisor. DON’T MOVE OR TOUCH ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS. Supervisors should inspect the common areas in their sector

to include hallways, restrooms, utility closets and reception areas. Grill covers over heating and air-conditioning ducts should be visually inspected periodically so that subsequent inspections would reveal any obvious entry, tampering or packages in the duct.

Supervisors should report any suspicious items and their location to Mr. Roberts or a member of the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team who will inform the local law enforcement agency.

Detonation or ignition of an explosive or incendiary device might depend on a change in environment, temperature variation,

25

electrical surges, etc. Therefore, personnel should not cause any change in the environment:

Do not go into a dark room and turn on the light; use a flashlight in dark areas.

Do not change thermostat setting; do not use cellular telephones or 2-way radios.

If a suspicious object is located, it must be reported at once to the Primary Captain or Supervisor.

PERSONS CONDUCTING SEARCHES SHOULD NEVER IN ANY WAY INSPECT, TOUCH OR MOVE A SUSPICIOUS OBJECT. Professional explosive ordinance personnel will handle that.

EVACUATING THE BUILDING:

The County Administrator and the Assistant Cou nty Administrators have the aut hority to evacuate the building anytime they believe employees are in imminent danger. However, if time permits, the decision to evacuate will be made after consulting with the Emergency Response & Evacuation Team.

If anytime during the search, the decision is made to

evacuate the building, the order will be communicated from the designated Response Center to the Department Heads and/or Supervisors.

If the order is given to evacuate the building, the Primary Captains (or Co-Captains) will be responsible for communicating the evacuation order to all personnel in their department. The Primary Captains or the Co-Captains can do this by a personal walk-through of the department.

The Primary Captains (or Co-Captains) should ensure that their departments have been evacuated before they leave the department.

APPENDIX B: HURRICANES AND TORNADOS

A major hurricane or tornado can be lethal. Preparing for hurricanes and tornados and responding to them effectively can reduce the dangers caused by these storms. The following frequently asked questions will help workers understand how hurricanes and tornados may affect their health and safety. General Information What are some differences between hurricanes and tornados? Hurricanes are powerful storms formed at sea that have sustained winds in excess of 74 miles per hour. Due to the size of hurricanes, they are easily spotted and can be tracked for days prior to hitting a given area. Hurricanes are often accompanied by tidal surges and flash floods, which typically cause more damage than the hurricane's wind. Tornados are violent whirlwinds that can travel at speeds of 250 miles per hour or more. Unlike hurricanes, tornados form quickly and travel in very unpredictable directions. How are hurricanes rated? Since the 1970s the National Weather Service has used the Saffir-Simpson Scale to measure hurricanes. Category One: Winds 74-95 mph. Storm surge generally 4-5 feet above normal; Category Two: Winds 96-110 mph. Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal; Category Three: Winds 111-130 mph. Storm surge generally 9-12 feet above normal; Category Four: Winds 131-155 mph. Storm surge generally 13-18 feet above normal; Category Five: Winds greater than 155 mph. Storm surge generally higher than 18 feet above normal; How are tornados rated? The Fujita Wind Damage Scale is used to measure the strength of tornados and sometimes other wind storms. F-1: Light damage with winds up to 72 mph. F-2: Moderate damage with winds up 73-112 mph.

31

F-3: Considerable damage with winds 113-157 mph. F-4: Devastating damage with winds 207-260 mph. F-5: Incredible damage with winds above 261mph. What do watches and warnings mean? Watch: Be alert, a storm is likely. In the case of a tornado, the conditions are right for tornado development, but none have been sighted. A "watch" is usually issued for a six-hour period of time. No special action is required, but monitor for changing weather conditions. Warning: Severe weather is present; there is imminent danger for people in the warning area. Worker Safety and Health Which workers are at increased risk of injury during hurricanes or tornados? While most workers can stay inside during such a storm, some workers may be required to go into the storm. This may include utility workers, law enforcement personnel, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, federal, state and local government personnel (such as sanitation and highway workers), and military personnel. Many of the hazards occur to workers immediately after the storm has passed, such as during cleanup and utility restoration work. These activities are even more hazardous in areas of flooding, which are often caused by these storms. What kinds of safety and health hazards are associated with hurricanes or tornados? According to the National Weather Service, about 70 percent of injuries during hurricanes and tornados result from vehicle accidents, and about 25 percent of injuries result from being caught out in the storm. Some of the specific hazards associated with working in hurricanes or tornados include:

Hazardous driving conditions due to slippery roadways Slips and falls due to slippery walkways Falling and flying objects such as tree limbs and utility poles Electrical hazards from downed power lines or downed objects in contact with

power lines Falls from heights Burns from fires caused by energized line contact or equipment failure Exhaustion from working extended shifts Dehydration

32

What hazards exist when repairing downed or damaged power lines? Repairing downed or damaged lines entails many of the activities involved in installing and removing overhead lines and in general maintenance on overhead lines. The crucial difference is that in emergency conditions, there are unknown hazards and the potential for changing hazards as work progresses. Under these conditions workers must be extra vigilant and cautious. Potential hazards include:

Electrocution by contacting downed energized lines, or contacting objects, such as broken tree limbs in contact with fallen lines.

Falls from heights. Being struck or crushed by falling poles, towers or parts thereof, or tree limbs. Being injured in vehicular accidents when responding to an emergency situation. Burns from fires caused by energized line contact or equipment failure.

What protective measures should be utilized when working on or around downed or damaged power lines? Stay well clear of any downed or damaged power lines. Establish a safe distance from the lines and report the incident to the responsible authority. Only properly-trained electrical utility workers should handle damaged power lines. Electrical utility workers should first assess the hazards present in order to minimize the chances of exacerbating the situation. Ideally the lines involved should be de-energized, but this may not be possible in all situations. When working on downed or damaged power lines, electrical workers should utilize proper electrical safety work practices and personal protective equipment, as usual. What hazards exist when removing downed trees during a hurricanes or tornados, and what safety precautions should be taken? When these storms occur, downed trees can block public roads and damage power lines. Emergency crews are often sent out to clear downed trees during these storms. Potential hazards include:

Electrocution by contacting downed energized lines or contacting broken tree limbs in contact with fallen lines.

Falls from trees. Being struck or crushed by falling tree limbs. Being injured by emergency equipment such as chain saws and chippers.

33

Proper PPE, including gloves, foot protection, eye protection, fall protection, hearing protection and head protection should be used when using chainsaws and chippers to clear downed trees.

Only appropriate power equipment that is built to be used outdoors and in wet conditions should be used. All saws, chippers, and other tools should be used properly and according to their intended application. It is important that all equipment is well-maintained and functioning correctly in order for use. In addition, all equipment should have proper guarding, working controls, and other safety features as installed by the manufacturer. What should I do if a hurricane or tornado strands me in my vehicle? Drivers in the hurricane's path who are not going to be driving their car should park it on high ground, as close as possible to a sturdy building, and seek shelter as quickly as possible. Avoid driving through standing water. If you come upon a flooded street, take an alternate route. In the case of tornados, if you are in your car you should stop your vehicle and get out. Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You are safer in a low, flat location. If there is no shelter immediately available, you should avoid trees and vehicles. Lie down flat in a gully, ditch, or low spot on the ground and protect your head with an object or your arms. If shelter is available, move to the basement or a Safe Room. Stay away from the windows and glass doorways. Go to the center of the room, staying away from corners, and make yourself the smallest target possible. If an underground shelter is not available, move to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. (COPIED FROM WWW.OSHA.GOV)
