Emergency Plan - Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority

EVENT SPECIFIC GUIDELINES 1
HURRICANE
(ESG-1)
3.1.7.4. OPCON 2
ALL INCIDENT SUPPORT FUNCTIONS (ISF)
• Review specific ISF Responsibilities, Hurricane Plan Common Objectives, and
ensure completion of assigned OPCON 3 tasks and activities.
• Fuel vehicles and portable equipment.
• Ensure Evacuation Information Logs have been completed and forwarded to ISF-
2, HR & Accountability.
• As appropriate, develop Duty Rosters and Shift Schedules for 24-hour coverage.
• When appropriate, non-emergency personnel shall be released from duty before
conditions become hazardous.
• If emergency or critical facility operations personnel must be out working as
weather conditions begin to deteriorate and sustained wind speed reaches 45 mph,
dispatch will implement “Radio Accountability”. Radio Accountability calls for
tracking the location and activities of all exposed personnel. Once sustained wind
speed reaches 55 MPH, conditions may be declared “Hazardous” and all
personnel may be advised to promptly discontinue field activities and report to
their assigned base for the duration of the storm.
• Consider where to stage vehicles and rolling equipment, to minimize the potential
for damage from trees, wind-blown objects, and flooding. (With IC’s approval,
consider assigning units to employees who are “sheltering” at home but available
to respond during Response / Recovery phase.)
ISF-1 DIRECTION and CONTROL
• Finalize assignments and implementation of ICS as necessary.
• Activate EOC at level necessary.
• Determine “emergency cash” to have on-hand at EOC.
