II. General Statement of City Service Priorities in the Event of Pandemic Influenza: Should there in fact be an outbreak of Pandemic Influenza the City of Centerville will move into a "Pandemic Emeraencv Operations Mode" whereby the following six priorities will take precedence of other all other City operations: 1. Ensure that potable water is being pumped into the City's Water Tower(s). Depending on severity of Pandemic the City may restrict use of water to only fire fighting and limited domestic use, with limited to access for other uses such as lawn watering, car washing, etc. 2. Ensure that sanitary lift stations are functioning and drawn down, if necessary via the use of portable electric generation or septic contractors if available. 3. Ensure that City streets (specifically Priority Routes) are passable to emergency vehicles; this may require the assistance of Anoka County or other communities in the event of a significant snowfall. 4. Ensure general peace and order are preserved. Work with other jurisdictions, National Guard, etc. 5. Ensure fire fighting services are available (Centennial Fire District) 6. Act in concert with Anoka County or other coordinating health agencies to distribute possible antiviral medications or other available vaccine(s) if available. Beyond these priorities; general City operations will be suspended until further notice. The City Council will determine at what stage the City moves into this Pandemic Emeraency Operations Mode. Should the City Council not be able to make such determination, the City's Emergency Management Coordinator may make this determination after consultation with the City Administrator if available. Under this Mode, the City Administrator and the Emergency Management Coordinator may take meaningful and necessary steps to respond to the Pandemic Emergency where possible but consistent with the six priorities and applicable law Page 5 of 18 40
