Emergency Operations Plan <br /> Emergency Support Function #1 - Transportation and Evacuation <br /> adequate time for evacuation or where the risk from the emergency incident will be <br /> minimal or very short in duration officials should consider "shelter-in place" options. <br /> The decision to recommend shelter-in place will be made by the Incident Commander of <br /> the affected area, using established criteria. A shelter-in place decision will also initiate <br /> the Warning and Notification section of this plan as appropriate. Under the direction of <br /> the Incident Commander, Law Enforcement and/or Public Safety personnel will assist in <br /> making public notification of the shelter-in place procedure. Emergency actions such as <br /> taping doors, windows, shutting off outside air intake from fans, air conditioners, or <br /> other means may be the best available option to protect public health and safety. <br /> Concept of Operations <br /> In addition to the responsibilities identified under the Scope Section of this plan, the <br /> following is a framework to implement this ESF. <br /> Notification and Activation <br /> Notification to the primary responsible agency under this ESF will come through: <br /> 1. Centennial Lakes Emergency Management; <br /> 2. Anoka County Dispatch; or <br /> 3. Direct call <br /> Organization <br /> The organization of operational components supporting this ESF will follow the National <br /> Incident Management System Components. Specifically for transportation issues a <br /> "Transportation Branch Director" will be assigned to coordinate all tactical operations <br /> and resources. For an evacuation, an "Evacuation Route Coordinator" should be <br /> assigned due to the importance of the evacuation. <br /> The Branch Director may report to either the Unified Command Group or an Operations <br /> Section Chief. All units assigned under the Transportation Branch Director will be <br /> broken down into Divisions or Groups. <br /> Actions: Initial <br /> Immediately following the notification to enact this ESF, the following actions will be <br /> taken: <br /> 1. Report to the identified location for the coordination of operations. The <br /> possible location(s)which may need to be staffed include: <br /> a. Incident Command Post(ICP) <br /> b. City Public Works Facility <br /> c. Emergency Operations Center(EOC) <br /> 2. Work closely with the Situational Unit Leader to identify exactly what areas <br /> are affected and prioritization of operations. <br /> Page 5 of 8 <br />
