18.1.1 Planning Responsibility NEW ALBANY POLICE DEPARTMENT Directive 18.1 - Unusual Occurrences The on-duty Sergeant is responsible for the development of the unusual occurrence plans and general oversight of all field operations during any unusual occurrence. In the absence of a Sergeant, these tasks will be assumed by the on-duty officer in charge. In cases of unusual occurrences, the Sergeant will serve as an advisor to the Chief of Police and have the primary responsibility of expediting manpower and resources to address the occurrence. 18.1.2 Natural/Man-made Disasters Natural disasters such as tornadoes or floods and man-made disasters such as a plane crash, will be handled on a case-by-case basis due to the numerous factors that may influence the response. The highest-ranking Fire Department official will have overall command at a disaster scene. A major disaster scene may be divided into geographic units, each commanded by a Fire Department official. The Police Department will provide support services and implement evacuation when necessary. Potential disasters as a result of weather can often be anticipated before their occurrence. A. Weather Alerts When a severe weather watch is issued, the Dispatcher will periodically air this information to all on-duty police personnel. All on-duty personnel should remain aware of weather conditions and notify the radio room if a tornado or other dangerous weather condition is observed. B. Tornado Warning Procedure When a tornado warning is sounded, the dispatcher shall remain in the secured Dispatch Center. The dispatcher shall instruct any visitors in the lobby area to take shelter in Interview Room B. All on-duty officers will patrol the area to observe weather conditions. All patrol vehicles should stay in separate areas and apart from Fire Department vehicles. Once weather conditions are safe, the dispatcher will advise all Police Department employees to resume normal activity. The following are guidelines to help determine when severe weather or tornados are imminent: a) Tornados, funnel clouds or wall clouds. b) Any persistent rotation in the clouds. c) Damage that is a result of hazardous weather such as straight-line winds, tornados, flooding/flash-flooding, or winter storms. d) Occurrence of hail, half of inch or larger. e) More than one tree uprooted or blown down/or more than one large limb. f) An inch or more of rain in an hour. 2
