South Puget Sound Community College Emergency Operations Plan Annex E TRANSPORTATION

Transcription

1 I. PURPOSE II. South Puget Sound Community College Emergency Operations Plan Annex E TRANSPORTATION The Transportation Annex covers responsibilities and procedures for ensuring effective utilization of available transportation resources, particularly when either the South Puget Sound Community College Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and / or the City of Olympia EOC is activated in response to natural disasters and other emergencies. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS A. Emergency / Disaster Conditions and Hazards 1. South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) is subject to a variety of emergency or disaster events that may require coordination of transportation needs of faculty, staff, and students, in addition to the surrounding area. 2. The sudden and unexpected nature of a catastrophic event or emergency may result in numerous requests from all areas of the College for services required to save lives, protect property, and preserve the environment. 3. Transportation infrastructure may sustain significant damage in a disaster. The damage, dependent upon the transportation network, will influence the means and accessibility level for relief services and supplies. 4. In an emergency situation, the transportation of people, equipment, and supplies may have to be facilitated or restricted from areas at risk and in support of response and recovery activities. We have the ultimate responsibility for arranging for or providing the transportation needed to support emergency operations. 5. Our transportation equipment and that of private transportation companies may sustain damage during emergency situations and trained equipment operators may become disaster victims, limiting the means available to transport people and relief equipment and supplies. 6. Transportation infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and railroads, may sustain damage during emergency situations, making it difficult to use some of the transportation assets that are available. 7. Disaster response which requires transportation capacity may be difficult to coordinate effectively during the immediate post-disaster period. March

2 8. Conditions following the event will necessitate the careful consideration of sites for establishing staging areas, shelters, assistance centers, alternate operations centers, and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). B. Planning Assumptions 1. The Incident Commander will focus on coordinating lifesavings activities concurrent with reestablishing control of the affected area. 2. An emergency or disaster may disrupt college services. 3. Initial reports of damage will be fragmented, providing an incomplete picture on the extent of damage to transportation infrastructure. 4. All college owned vehicles (not otherwise involved in the emergency response) will be available for use. 5. In coordinating the use of transportation resources, qualified drivers must be included in the arrangements. 6. If people must be evacuated or relocated, the primary mode of transportation for most people will be personal vehicles. However, transportation must be provided for people who do not have vehicles. 7. If the college is unable to obtain transportation services from commercial providers, the college may rent or least transportation equipment to provide required transportation. 8. Needs beyond the capability of the College will necessitate the activation of and coordination with the local City of Olympia EOC (located at Olympia Fire Department). 9. Large scale regional incidents, emergencies, or disasters may require the activation of and coordination with the Thurston County EOC and / or the State EOC. III. CONCEPTS OF OPERATIONS There are several factors which must be considered when planning for mass transportation during an emergency or disaster. Among these are the characteristics of the hazard or threat itself including the amount of widespread damage in the local community and the damage to transportation infrastructure. In addition, it should be concluded that any need for mass transportation would have to be coordinated with other public agencies and businesses in order to transport people in a timely and efficient manner. A. General 1. Transportation Requirement. When carrying out emergency transportation activities, immediate needs must be considered first, followed by continuing requirements. Immediate transportation needs normally involve the evacuation March

3 of people, including residents of special facilities, from risk areas. Continuing transportation needs typically involve the movement of relief supplies, equipment, and emergency workers during response and recovery operations. 2. Passenger Transportation. Where possible, emergency passenger transportation requirements will be satisfied with the following resources: a. Voluntary use of personal vehicles b. b. School/College vehicles/buses c. c. City and/or County-owned vehicles d. d. Leased or rented buses e. e. Passenger vehicles provided by other jurisdictions pursuant to interlocal agreements f. f. Donated transportation equipment or services g. g. Municipal or rural transit system buses h. h. State-owned or contracted vehicles 3. The need for mass transit from the college campus may require the activation of and coordination with the Olympia EOC or Thurston County EOC. a. Thurston County will provide emergency transportation as part of its emergency operations plan, within its capability, in an emergency/disaster. If transportation requirements exceed the capabilities of the County, other public and private sources shall be utilized as a secondary transportation means. i. The Director of Intercity Transit shall serve as transportation supervisors in disasters in accordance with the Thurston County EOC Plan. Intercity Transit will coordinate the emergency transport of people, coordinate transportation availability and use with applicable public and private resource providers, and will send a representative to the EOC to serve as transportation supervisor upon request of the DEM/ EOC. The Transportation Supervisor will coordinate with the local school district transportation supervisor for the provision of District transportation assets to assist in meeting emergency transportation needs in accordance with the Thurston County EOC plan. The Transportation Supervisor (TS) will notify appropriate agencies of the potential need for emergency transportation and request vehicles as necessary. The TS will assign resources and provide record keeping of expenses incurred under March

4 emergency conditions, and arrange for any emergency fuel sources and vehicle maintenance. IV. ii. If local capabilities are exceeded in meeting transportation needs, Thurston County EOC may request assistance from the State or FEMA. 4. State Emergency Management a. Coordinate state and federal response for transportation assistance when requested by local government. 5. The federal government, under the National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Security Emergency Preparedness procedures, may, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), provide temporary assistance to state and/or local jurisdictions prior to, during, and after an emergency or disaster.
