Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan Revision 5.1,June,2005 <br /> The departmental continuity and recovery plan details <br /> • Listing of essential functions <br /> • Methods and locations for protecting and retrieving essential <br /> documents <br /> • Chain of command and succession <br /> • Details of process necessary for identifying and reconstituting lost, <br /> damaged, or destroyed records of essential functions. <br /> EMHS will assist in developing, reviewing, and approving these plans. <br /> Routine infrastructure status reporting <br /> During regular, non-emergency, operations, the county is responsible <br /> for submitting status reports to the State of Minnesota on a monthly <br /> basis. During the first week of each month, departments will be asked <br /> to submit information about situations that would decrease their ability <br /> to provide services should a large emergency occur. These reports are <br /> gathered by the EMHS Emergency Management Coordinators and <br /> submitted to the State, as are similar reports from the municipal <br /> Emergency Managers. <br /> Emergency_incident status reporting <br /> In any emergency, we may need to quickly and regularly gather <br /> information about the ability of departments to provide services. <br /> Department heads may be asked to report the status of their groups, <br /> and their ability to provide services to the Planning Officer at the EOC <br /> — typically within 8 hours of the declaration. In some cases, those units <br /> directly affected by the emergency may be asked to report sooner <br /> In Level 4 situations, county resources will be stressed to the limits. <br /> The heads of major departments of the county and the members of the <br /> Emergency Operations team have specific requirements: <br /> • Gather information about the status of their department and <br /> report it to the Planning Officer at the EOC within 4 hours of the <br /> declaration. In some cases, those units directly affected by the <br /> emergency may be asked to report sooner <br /> • Follow-up reports are needed at 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours <br /> after the declaration. Thereafter, a daily report on the status of <br /> the departments is needed until emergency operations are <br /> terminated. <br /> • "Status" includes reporting on the overall ability to perform the --� <br /> mission of the department, lost data; physical damage; <br /> personnel issues, etc. <br /> 54 <br />
