<br />Ramsey County~Wide Emergency Operations Plan <br /> <br />Revision 5.1, June, 2005 <br /> <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 /> <br />. Other municipal official as necessary. <br /> <br />RAMSEY COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (RCEOC) <br /> <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 /> <br />However, in some incidents - particularly longer term andlor 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 /> <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 /> <br />Necessary county agencies will assign personnel to the facility as noted in <br />Support Annex B. <br /> <br />EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND HOMELAND SECURITY (EMHS) <br /> <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 /> <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.
