Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan Revision 5.1,June,2005 <br /> • City Attorney <br /> • Chief of Police (or representative of law enforcement agency) <br /> • Fire Chief(or representative of the fire service) <br /> • Director of Emergency Management <br /> • Director of Public Works <br /> • Other municipal official as necessary. <br /> RAMSEY COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (RCEOC) <br /> The vast majority of incidents are handled primarily at the local command <br /> post or the local EOC in the affected municipality. In these "normal" cases, <br /> decisions for the county can be made in meetings and phone calls over <br /> time and summoning a special group together immediately are not <br /> necessary. <br /> However, in some incidents - particularly longer term and/or serious or <br /> "sensitive" ones - dedicated staff need to be assembled to work on <br /> projects. When activated, the RCEOC can be ready for operation within 90 <br /> minutes. The full activation time - including arrival of staff - is dependant <br /> upon the time of day, but will typically average less than 120 minutes <br /> 24x7. Staffing of the RCEOC will follow the Incident Management System <br /> and is outlined below. Additional detailed information about the RCEOC -� <br /> can be found in Support Annex B of this plan. There are four dedicated <br /> work groups assigned to the RCEOC. These are (1) the EOC Operations <br /> Group; (2) the EOC Planning Group; (3) the EOC Logistics group, and (4) <br /> the EOC Finance Officer. <br /> Being intended for multiple uses, the RCEOC is not left empty and unused <br /> during normal business activities. Various departments utilize the facility <br /> itself for routine training, meetings and more. However, in the event of <br /> possible or confirmed emergencies, the facility is immediately available for <br /> use. The EOC will react in one of three "Operational Modes" outlined in <br /> Support Annex B (the support Annexes are restricted for official use only). <br /> Necessary county agencies will assign personnel to the facility as noted in <br /> Support Annex B. <br /> EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND HOMELAND SECURITY (EMHS) <br /> The vast majority of incidents are handled primarily at the local command <br /> post in the affected municipality. In these "normal" cases, decisions for the <br /> county can be made in meetings and phone calls over time and <br /> summoning a special group together immediately are not necessary. <br /> The Director of EMHS is the alternate Warning Officer for the county and <br /> the division is responsible to assist in the development of evacuation, <br /> mass care, CBRNE and terrorism plans for the county.
