CITY OF BAYTOWY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOREWORD As Emergency Management Director, the Mayor is charged with the responsibility to develop and implement an Emergency Management plan in the City of Baytown, The heaviest emphasis in the past was on preparedness and response to all risks: attack, man -made emergencies and natural disasters. Added emphasis is now placed on mitigation and recovery to round cut the four phases of emergency management. The situations addressed by this plan are those in which the actions of many different agencies must be "coordinated. This major coordination effort differs from those emergencies handled on a daily basis by local fire, law enforcement, and medical services personnel. This Emergency Management Plan attempts to be all inclusive in combining the four phases of management, which are 1) mitigation: those activities which eliminate or reduce the probability of disaster; 2) preparedness: those activities which governments, organizations, and ind_ °iduals develop to save lives and minimize damage; 3) response: those acti7 ties that follow a disaster and are designed to prevent loss of lives ani property and provide emergency assistance; and 4) recovery: short- and l:ng -term activities which return all systems to normal or improved standards. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS PART ONE: BASIC PLAN Page PROMULGATION STATEMENT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i FOREWORD , . . . . . . . . . . .

AUTHORITY This plan applies to and has been approved by Baytown City Council. The organizational and operational concepts set forth in this plan are promulgated under the following authorities: A. Federal 1. FEDERAL CIVIL DEFENSE ACT OF 1050, PL 32 -920 as amended. 2. THE DISASTER. RELIEF ACT OF 1974, FL 93 -288 as amended. 3.

PURPOSE This plan seeks to mitigate the effects of a `;azarl, in prepare for measures to be taken which will preserve life and minimize tamale, to respond during emergencies and provide necessary assista n-a, and `o establish a recovery system in order to return the community to i7s vcrmal state f affairs. This plan attempts to define in a straight .cr3rd manner who foes what, when, where, and how in order to mitigate, preparp for, respond `o, and r ecovar from the effects of war, natural AiGaster, teo'hnolcgical accidents, and other major incidents. III. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS A. situation The City of Baytown is exposed to many hazards, all of which have the potential for disrupting the community, causing damage, and creating casualties. Possible natural hazards include huricanes, floods, tornadoes, fires, and winter storms. There is also the thread of a :gar- related incident such as a nuclear, biochemical, or conventional attack. Other disaster situations could develop from a hazardous materials aocident, conflagration, major transportation accident, terrorism or civil disorder. Additional detail is provided in the Baytown HAZARDS ANALYSES /IDENTIFICATION. 1 B. Assumptions 1. Baytown will continue to be exposed to the hazards noted :above as well as others which may develop in the future. 2. Outside assistance will be available in most emergency situations affecting this city. Although this plan defines procedures for coordinating such assistance, it is essential for Baytown to be prepared to carry out disaster response and short -term actions on an independent basis. 3. It is possible for a major disaster to occur at any time, and at any place in or near the city. In some cases, dissemination of warning and incrased readiness measures may be possible. However, many disasters and events can, and will, occur with little or no warning. 4. City of Baytown officials recognize their responsibilities for the safety and well -being of the public and will assume their responsibilities in the implementation of this emergency management plan. 5. Proper implementation of this plan will reduce or prevent disaster related losses. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General It is the responsibility of government to protect life and property from the effects of hazardous events. The — ty of Baytown has the primary responsibility for emergency management activities. This plan is based upon the concept that the emergency functions for va:_ous agencies or organizations involved in emergency management will -= nerally parallel normal day -to -day functions. To the extent possible, the personnel and material resources will be employed in both cases. lay -to -day :unctions that do not contribute directly to the emergency may be suspended for the duration of any emergency. The efforts that would normally be required for those `unctions will be redirected to the accomplishment of emergency tasks by the agency ,concerned, According to Ordinance 3271, a local state of disaster ::,av G? declared jointly by the City Manager and Emergency Management Coordinator, The effect of the declaration is to invoke the emergency - authority given in t-e Ordinance,to activate the recovery and rehabilitation ,aspects of the pan and to authorize the furnishing of aid and assistance. When the emergency exceeds local government's capability to respond, assistance will be requested tram neighboring ,jurisdictions and /or the state government. B. Phases of Management This plan follows an all - hazard approach and acknowledges that most responsibilities and functions performed during an emergency are net hazard specific, Likewise, this plan accounts for activities before and after, as well as during emergency operations; consequently, all phases of emergency management are addressed as shown below, 2 1. Mitigation Mitigation activities are those which eliminate or reduce the probability of a disaster occurring. Also included are those long -term activities which lessen the undesirable effects of unavoidable hazards, 2, Preparedness Preparedness activities serve to develop the response capabilities needed in the event an emergency should arise. Planning and training are among the activities conducted under this phase, 3. Response Response is the actual provision of emergency services during a crisis. 'These activities help to reduce casualties and damage and .speed recovery. Response activities include warning, evacuation, rescue, and other :similar operations. 4. Recovery Recovery is both a short -term and long -term process. Short -term operations seek to restore vital services to the community and provide for the basic needs of the public. Long -term recovery focuses on restoring the community to its normal, or improved ,atate of affairs. The recovery period is also an opportune time to institute mitigation measures, particularly those related to the recent emergency. Examples of recovery actions would be temporary hcusing and food., restoration of non -vital =overnment services, and reconstruction of damaged areas. V.

VII, INCREASED READINESS CONDITIONS A. Most emergencies follow some recognizable build -up period during which actions can be taken to ach''eve a state of max4 m.m readiness, General departmental actions are outlined in the appropriate annex while 'speciiic actions will be detailed in the SOPS. 12. B. Tae foI'_owin; INCREASED EADINBSS CONDITIONS will be used as a mear_s of increasing tae City alert posture. 1. CONDITION 4: The term "- `_N?ILIDD 4" will to s1 -rd b;.j tnr Ity to denote a situation that causes a higher degree of readiness than is normally present. a. "CONDITION 4" actions could be triggered by the onset of a particular hazard vulnerability season such as: Hurricane season, Tornado ea =—on, lash i = +1 =33- iL c tLr eats due to severe drollght, etc. b. An increase in international tensions will also trigger a "CONDITION 4." C. The potential for local civil unrest will also trigger a "CONDITION 4." • . d. Declaration of "CONDITION 4" by the Emergency Management Coordinator will generally require the initiation of the increased readiness activities identified in each Annex. 2. CONDITION :3: The term "CONDITION 3" will be used by the City to refer to a situation which presents a greater potential threat than "CONDITION 4 ", but poses no immediate threat to life and /or property. This condition includes situations that could develop into a hazardous condition. a. "CONDITION 3" actions could be generated by severe weather watch information issued by the National Weather Service such as: (1) HURRICANE WATCH: issued wh,- -n -ver a hurricane becomes a possible threat to our area. (2) TORNADO WATCH: Issued to a1 - -t persons to the pOSEibe lt' - _�r?iad d=-1 gIE n *_ ;ri u2- 3i e3 f -ur _.Y :e ; =if iH1 rri iof1 -I Persons in watch areas should maintain `.heir daily r_utine but be prepared to reapond to a tornado warning.
