Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan Revision 5.1,June, 2005 <br /> 111. RESOURCES FOR COUNTY DEPARTMENTS' <br /> INTERNAL PLANNING ORGANIZATION <br /> Department Emergency Coordinators <br /> Each department head appoints a Departmental Emergency <br /> Coordinator (DEC), who is responsible for developing and <br /> maintaining the department emergency plan, coordinating the <br /> department's emergency response activities with EMHS, and <br /> coordinating training within the department. <br /> Building Emergency Coordinators <br /> Property Management and EMHS have worked to recruit and train <br /> a Building Emergency Coordinator (BEC) for each county owned or <br /> operated facility. <br /> The BEC program provides for the safety of county employees and <br /> the public in county facilities. BEC's emergency preparedness and <br /> response activities assist in ensuring the continuation of <br /> governmental services in county facilities following a disaster. The <br /> program focuses upon developing a "Building Emergency and <br /> Evacuation Plan" (BEEP) for each county facility of 10 or more <br /> staff. <br /> The BEC has the responsibility for establishing and maintaining a <br /> building emergency plan that contains essential information for <br /> responding to an emergency situation, including building floor <br /> plans, after-hours contact roster, vendor/utilities contacts, multi- <br /> hazard threat response procedures, and the county's building <br /> closure policy. The BEC may also select personnel from within the <br /> building to assist in these activities. The BEC conducts annual fire <br /> evacuation drills in each county facility. The Property Management <br /> department manages the BEC. The overall BEC program is <br /> coordinated by EMHS. <br /> 51 <br />
