RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND PROCUREMENT
FICTITIOUS COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Updated: March 18, 2006
| I. | PURPOSE
This Annex
provides a system of identifying and locating resources within the County and a
method of activating those resources during an emergency. The preservation,
conservation, and replenishment of these resources is also included. |
||
| II. |
SITUATION
AND ASSUMPTIONS |
||
| A. |
Situation |
||
| 1. |
Fictitious County has many resources, that can be used in the event of a
disaster, to reduce the impact on local government and the public served. |
||
| 2. |
Each city/town within Fictitious County has resources that may be used in
a disaster situation.
When there is not a direct impact on a municipality, their resources
may be called upon, by prior
agreement, to assist in damaged areas. |
||
| B. |
Assumption |
||
|
The required
resources will be available to provide for the assistance to the endangered
population. |
|||
| III. | CONCEPT
OF OPERATIONS |
||
| A. |
County departments and agencies will use their own resources and equipment
during emergencies and will
have control over the management of these resources when
the resources are needed to respond to an
emergency situation. |
||
| B. |
Municipal departments and agencies will use their resources and
equipment during emergencies and will maintain control over the management
of their resources. Use of these resources outside the incorporated limits
will be by requests of other municipalities or the
Emergency Management Coordinator under prior agreement. |
||
| C. |
The Finance Officer has prepared routine procurement procedures
for the acquisition or replacement of resources during day‑to‑day
operation and a procurement system to acquire expendable supplies during
emergencies. |
||
| D. |
A resource manual, or
database, identifying resources, the control agency and
the procedures needed to activate these resources at any time, will be
kept in the Office of Emergency Management. |
||
| E. |
As much as possible, the Emergency Management Coordinator will
also identify those resources and capabilities that are available in local
businesses and industry and other contributing organizations, and develop
any agreements required to acquire those resources to support the County
under emergency conditions. |
||
| F. |
As key resources become depleted or unusual needs occur, requests
for assistance will go to the State of North Carolina through the Division
of Emergency Management. The State can, as needed, expand its resources by
making requests to the Federal Government for assistance. |
||
| IV. |
DIRECTION
AND CONTROL |
||
| A. |
Utilization of resources under the operational control of local government
response forces will be coordinated by the Emergency Management
Coordinator under the direction of the Chairman, County Board of
Commissioners, or County Manager. |
||
| B. |
The commitment of resources from outside government will be
initiated by the Emergency Management Coordinator with operational control
being exercised by the on-site commander of the service requiring that
resource. |
||
| C. |
Any mutual aid agreements developed pre‑disaster will determine
who will move, operate, maintain and bear the cost of operation for
equipment used under emergency conditions. |
||
| V. | CONTINUITY
OF GOVERNMENT |
||
| A. | The line of succession for resource management is: | ||
| 1. |
Emergency Management Coordinator |
||
| 2. | Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator | ||
| 3. |
County Manager |
||
| B. |
Resource Management does
not fall under a centralized control element, but is coordinated from the
Emergency Operations Center during emergency operations. |
