Transcription

1 I. PURPOSE South Puget Sound Community College Emergency Operations Plan Annex H RECOVERY The purpose of this annex is to provide a process to facilitate the College s transition from a disaster situation to the resumption of normal activities. This annex applies to all College areas and addresses disaster related assistance and services provided by government and volunteer agencies following the response to an emergency or disaster. II. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS A. Emergency / Disaster Conditions and Hazards 1. South Puget Sound Community College is subject to a variety of emergency or disaster events that require plans for the College for mitigation, response and recovery. B. Planning Assumptions 1. The Incident Commander will focus on coordinating lifesaving activities concurrent with reestablishing control of the affected area. 2. There may be an immediate and urgent need for medical attention, sanitation facilities, food, water, shelter, clothing, and transportation following a disaster or emergency situation. 3. To the extent practicable, immediate basic needs will be the responsibility of the individual, benefited by College pre-disaster preparedness measures. 4. Organizations or agencies, whether public or private, providing utility services prior to an emergency or disaster, will possess plans to continue that service during recovery and restoration. 5. Needs beyond the capability of the College will necessitate the activation of and coordination with the local City of Olympia Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at Olympia Fire Department. March

2 6. Large scale regional incidents, emergencies, or disasters may require the activation of and coordination with the State EOC. III. CONCEPTS OF OPERATIONS A. General 1. Reliable communications and information system capabilities are necessary at all levels of the College for day-to-day communications, warning of impending events, response and recovery operations, search and rescue operations, and coordination with other state and public safety agencies. Such capabilities must be available to the College for operations from the College EOC, Olympia EOC, Thurston County EOC as well as any other location selected because of existing conditions at the time of the emergency or disaster. 2. 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 emergency communications assistance to state and/or local jurisdictions prior to or during an emergency or disaster. 3. Following the response to an emergency or disaster, the College EOC will remain activated to coordinate initial recovery and restoration activities. The EOC will remain activated until its coordinating functions are no longer needed. The EOC may be reactivated on a temporary basis to meet developing needs. 4. During the response phase, College EOC staff will document reported damage via reports from first responders and community partners. Evaluation of community needs, and planning for recovery and restoration will be based on available, documented information. Resources and services will be allocated as available, to meet urgent community needs. 5. Individuals, families, and the business community seeking financial or housing assistance will be referred to state, federal or volunteer program coordinators, as applicable. IV.
