<br />INTERNAL PLANNING ORGANIZATION
<br />
<br />Department Emergency Coordinators
<br />
<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 />
<br />Building Emergency Coordinators
<br />
<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 />
<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 />
<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, vendorlutilities 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 BEG program is
<br />coordinated by EMHS.
