WARREN COUNTY
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
BASIC PLAN
I.
PURPOSE
This Emergency Operations Plan will establish policies and procedures that will allow the
government of Warren County and the cities therein to save lives, minimize injuries, protect
property, preserve functioning civil government, and maintain economic activities essential to
Warren County's survival and recovery from natural, technological, and war-related disasters. It
will establish the guidelines for conducting efficient, effective, coordinated emergency operations
involving the use of all resources belonging to Warren County or available to it.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Warren County is located in east central Missouri just west of St. Charles County
and north of the Missouri River. The county borders encompass 429square miles of
varied terrain and seven incorporated municipalities, many of whose residents
commute regularly to the city of St. Louis.
2.
Based on the 2000 census, Warren County has a population of 24,525. The
incorporated cities within the County are: Foristell, Village of Innsbrook,
Marthasville, Village of Pendleton, Truesdale, Warrenton and Wright City.
3.
Warren County is vulnerable to many hazards, all of which have the potential to
disrupt the community, cause damage, and create casualties. The identified natural
and technological hazards include flooding, drought, heat wave, public health
emergency, Urban/structural fire, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquake and severe winter
storms. There is also the threat of civil disorder, or terrorism incident such as a
nuclear attack or bombing. Other technological disasters include dam failure;
hazardous materials incidents, transportation accident, power failure, and the
possible rupture of natural gas, crude oil, and product lines that transverse the county
(see Appendix 6). Conditions that could necessitate evacuation and/or sheltering
within the county include: hazardous materials incidents, flooding, dam failure, etc.
4.
This Plan was developed for Warren County. The unincorporated areas of the county
are the responsibility of Warren County, while the incorporated communities are
responsible for their own emergency operations, if they have such. If an
incorporated community does not have an EOP, they may use this Plan as a guide
until such time as they can develop their own.
Warren County EOP
BP-1
JAN. 2004
B.
5.
The Warren County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is responsible
for the development of a hazardous materials plan for Warren County and its
municipalities. See Annex H.
6.
Incidents involving acts of terrorism will be managed as established in Presidential
Decision Directive 39 (PDD-39) and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5
(HSPD-5), which provides specific policy guidance regarding the response to acts of
terrorism. See Annex N (Terrorism) for additional information.
7.
Warren County has capabilities and resources, which, if effectively employed would
minimize or eliminate the loss of life and damage to property in the event of an
emergency or major disaster. This must include the utilization of private and
volunteer organizations to the greatest extent possible.
8.
Mutual aid agreements, both written and verbal, exist between many of the
emergency service agencies, the subdivisions in the county and surrounding areas.
9.
This emergency management plan is being developed and maintained as required by
local executive order, pursuant to Missouri State Law, Chapter 44, RSMo, and the
all-hazard emergency planning guidance developed by the State Emergency
Management Agency (SEMA).
Assumptions:
1.
Some of the situations as previously stated may occur after implementation of
warning and other preparedness measures, but others may occur with little or no
warning.
2.
Officials of Warren County and its municipalities are aware of the possible
occurrence of an emergency or major disaster and are also aware of their
responsibilities in the execution of this plan and will fulfill these responsibilities as
needed.
3.
The proper implementation of this plan will reduce or prevent the loss of lives and
damage to property in Warren County.
4.
Depending upon the severity and magnitude of the situation, local resources may not
be adequate to deal with every occurrence. It may be necessary to request
assistance through volunteer organizations, the private sector, mutual aid
agreements, or State and Federal sources.

JAN. 2004
III.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General:
1.
It is the responsibility of local government to provide for a comprehensive emergency
management program that meets the emergency needs of those who either have been
or might be affected by an emergency or major disaster. When the emergency exceeds
the local government's capability to respond, assistance will be requested from the
State government. If additional assistance is needed beyond state capabilities, the
State will coordinate requests to the proper Federal agencies. The county commission
is ultimately responsible for emergency management activities within the boundaries
of the jurisdiction. The Presiding Commissioner of Warren County is responsible for
those activities in the unincorporated areas of the county and in those incorporated
communities that do not have a local emergency management organization (See Title
XI, Division 10, Chapter 11, of the Missouri Code of Regulations). The chief elected
official of each municipality (i.e., Mayor) has a similar responsibility within their
corporate boundaries. These officials can delegate their authority, but never their
responsibility.
2.
At no time will the County Commission supersede the authority of the elected
officials of any of the incorporated subdivisions unless: (1) requested to do so by
those elected officials, (2) the local subdivisions governmental body is incapacitated
or ceases to exist, or (3) empowered to do so by the governor under the authority of
Chapter 44, RSMo. Although they participate in this plan, the aforementioned
subdivisions should develop their own local plans.
3.
This plan is based on the concept that the emergency functions assigned to the various
groups, organizations, and individuals involved in this plan will parallel their normal,
day-to-day functions as closely as possible. The same personnel and material
resources will be employed as much as possible in both normal and emergency
functions.
4.
Those day-to-day functions that do not contribute directly to the emergency operations
may be suspended for the duration of the emergency. The efforts that would normally
be required for those functions will be redirected to the accomplishment of emergency
tasks by the agency concerned.
5.
This plan, or portions thereof, will be implemented according to the emergency
classification and control procedures set forth in Appendix 3 to the Basic Plan. The
procedures discussed under this Appendix will describe what happens when an
emergency/disaster occurs, activation of the EOC, response procedures that will take
place, and notification of departments/individuals.
6.
By County Commission Order, updated June 6, 2002, Warren County created an
emergency management organization responsible for the preparation and
implementation of emergency functions for Warren County in accordance with
Chapter 44, RSMo and the State of Missouri Emergency Operations Plan.

B.
7.
Discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, nationality, sex, age, physical
impairment, or economic status will not be allowed in the execution of emergency
management functions. This policy applies to all levels of government and the private
sector in any protected class.
8.
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) will be used in any emergency
involving hazardous materials within Warren County.
Operational Time Frames:
1.
2.
IV.
This Plan is concerned with all types of hazards that may develop in Warren County
and must account for activities before, during, and after an occurrence. The
following operational time frames were established for the various actions to be
performed within the scope of this Plan:
a.
Mitigation: A period of time during which activities are undertaken by
individuals/departments to improve their capabilities to respond to a
potential emergency and fulfill their assigned responsibilities.
b.
Preparedness: A period of time during which activities are undertaken by
individuals/departments to increase their readiness posture during periods of
heightened risk.
c.
Response: A period of time during which activities are undertaken by
individuals/departments to respond to an occurrence that threatens or harms
people/property.
d.
Recovery: A period of time during which activities are undertaken by
individuals/departments to provide for the welfare of the people following a
disaster and/or emergency.
See each Annex for functional operational time frames and responsibilities.
ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
A.
Organization:
1.
Most of the departments within local government have emergency functions in
addition to their normal, day-to-day duties which parallel or complement normal
functions. The emergency management organization for Warren County will be set
up along the following functional lines:
a.
Direction and Control
Annex A

2.
Warren County and each incorporated subdivision should develop a capability in
each of these functional areas using all available resources. In some cases one
agency handles a particular operation for both on a day-to-day basis (i.e., Red Cross,
Division of Family Services, Warren County Public Health Center, etc.).
3.
The organizational chart for Warren County is located in Appendix 1 to the Basic
Plan.
Assignment of Responsibilities:
1.
Warren County EOP
Specific groups, departments/agencies, and individuals will be assigned primary
and/or support responsibilities to prepare for and to perform (coordinate) each of the
functions listed above. In some cases a function will be assigned to a county official
or agency, while others to city agencies or a combination thereof. Assignments for
Warren County are identified on a Chart in Appendix 2 to this Basic Plan.
BP - 5
OCT. 2005
V.
2.
The specific tasks to be performed in each function are found in detail in each
functional Annex. Appendix 2 contains a basic list of task assignments by function
common to county and city organizations.
3.
It will be the responsibility of those agencies and individuals having a primary/
support assignment to develop and maintain current standard guidelines (SOGs) and
checklists which detail how their assigned tasks will be performed to support
implementing this Plan.
4.
Government at all levels and private sector organizations involved in community
service activities have heavy responsibilities for maintaining awareness of and being
prepared to provide for the needs of persons with disabilities or other special
problems. Throughout this EOP, the requirements of special needs groups will be
addressed (i.e., providing medical, transportation, and other related support during
emergency situations for the handicapped, elderly, etc.).
5.
The Warren County Emergency Management Director is responsible for notification
and coordination with adjacent jurisdiction(s) on facilities and/or dangerous releases,
which may impose risks across boundaries of different planning areas.
DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A.
General:
1.
The Presiding Commissioner of Warren County is responsible for all emergency
management activities to include implementing this Plan and directing emergency
response within their jurisdiction. The County Commission is also responsible for
declaring a state of emergency and requesting state assistance when appropriate.
See Appendices 4 and 6 to the Basic Plan.
2.
The County Emergency Management Director is responsible for the following:
a.
Brief appropriate officials and new employees on their roles in emergency
management.
b.
Coordination of all emergency management activities.
c.
Decisions on routine day-to-day matters pertaining to emergency
management.
d.
Advising on courses of action available for major decisions.
e.
Ensuring proper functioning of the EOC and coordinate EOC operations
during an emergency.
Acting as liaison with other local, State and Federal emergency management
agencies.
f.
Warren County EOP
BP - 6
JAN. 2004
g.
B.
Other duties as outlined in the local orders, court orders and agreements.
Emergency Operations Center:
1.
Warren County is subject to many hazards that would require decentralized control
and coordination of units in the field. See Appendix 6, Warren County Hazard
Vulnerability Analysis, for a list of these hazards.
2.
Warren County will provide direction and control from its primary emergency
operations center (EOC), which is co-located with Joint E-911 Communications
Center, 209 Hwy. U, Warrenton, MO.
3.
The primary power system for the EOC is the local electric company. Emergency
power can be provided by a back-up generator located on site.
4.
In the event that the primary EOC cannot be used, all emergency response field
forces will be advised of the operations transfer from the primary EOC to the
alternate EOC, by radio transmission as/if required. See Annex A this Basic Plan for
further information about the EOC.
5.
In the event the primary EOC becomes inoperable, the alternate EOC will be
activated. The alternate EOC is located at the Warrenton Fire Protection District
Station # 1, 606 Fairgrounds Road, Warrenton, MO. The mobile LEPC
communications trailer would also be used at this location to aid in the
communication ability. Security would be provided by county and local law
enforcement agencies.
6.
Many of the other communities will operate independently of each other and operate
their own EOCs, unless they delegate their authority to another jurisdiction or higher
form of government.
7.
In the event the primary Joint E-911 communication and warning facilities become
inoperable, the alternate Joint E-911 communication and warning facilities will be
the Warrenton Fire Protection District Station # 1, 606 Fairgrounds Road,
Warrenton, MO. The mobile LEPC communications trailer would also be used at
this location to aid in the communication ability. Security would be provided by
county and local law enforcement agencies.
8.
The EOC will be manned generally according to the level of the emergency
described in Appendix 3.
9.
Procedures will be developed to protect EOC personnel from environmental threats
(air purity, water portability, etc) within the means available. Additional
requirements will be addressed to external support resources.

VI.
CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
Effective comprehensive emergency management operations depend upon two important factors
to ensure continuity in government from the highest to the lowest level: (1) lines of succession for
officials, agency/department heads, and authorized personnel; and (2) preservation of records.
A.
Lines of Succession:
In the event that an official or agency charged with participating in emergency operations is
unable to perform, lines of succession will be established to ensure continuous emergency
services are provided.
1.
The line of succession for the Warren County Commission is as follows:
a.
The Presiding Commissioner.
b.
In the absence of the Presiding Commissioner, the County Clerk shall
Appoint associate commissioner to act as the Presiding Commissioner.
c.
In the absence of the County Clerk, the first (1st) available Commissioner
will serve as Presiding Commissioner until the County Clerk can make an
official appointment.
2.
The line of succession for the Mayors of the incorporated jurisdictions is to the
Mayor, to be followed by members of the City Council, as they decide.
3.
The line of succession for the Warren County Emergency Management Director is
through the Deputy Emergency Management Director, and then the County
Sheriff. This would also apply to other individual jurisdictions having an emergency
management organization.
4.
The line of succession for each department head is according to the standard
operating guides established by each department. The individual or agency
responsible for each Annex (emergency function) identified in this Plan must
establish a line of succession and insure that departmental personnel and the
Emergency Management Director (EMD) are informed of the line of succession.
Refer to each Annex of this Plan and SOGs.
5.
In the event circumstances resulting from a disaster prevent a political entity from
performing effective operations, the next higher political subdivision may assume
authority until that political entity is able to adequately resume operations.

VII.
Preservation of Records
1.
Essential (vital) records for Warren County are of two types, written or stored on
computerized disc (which are in several fire-rated storage areas in the County Court
House). Some computer back-up records are stored off-site.
2.
In order to provide normal government operations after a disaster, all vital records, of
both a public and private nature recorded by such county and city officials as the
clerk, tax collector, tax assessor, etc., must be protected and preserved. These would
include legal documents, property deeds, tax records, etc. The following guidelines
will apply:
a.
Certain records and documents are vital to the continuance of government
following a major disruption of normal activities, such as a major disaster.
These records and documents are to be identified by officials responsible for
their day-to-day maintenance.
b.
Resources from local government will be allocated to provide for one or
more of the following options: (1) duplication of all such records, (2) timely
movement to secure or safe areas outside the danger area, and/or
development of secure areas in Warren County.
3.
Each emergency support service (i.e., law enforcement, fire, public works, etc.) must
establish procedures to protect records deemed essential for continuing government
functions and conduct of emergency operations.
4.
Further information on preservation of records can be obtained by contacting the
Secretary of State’s Office located in Jefferson City.
ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS
A.
Administration
1.
Emergency Authority (See Part IX, Authorities and References).
2.
Reports and Records, as required, will be submitted to the proper authorities in
accordance with the instructions in the individual Annexes.
3.
Agreements and Understandings with other local jurisdictions, higher levels of
government and other agencies can be utilized to supplement local resources
should an emergency situation exhaust the capabilities of Warren County.
Requests for such assistance will be made in accordance with negotiated mutual
aid agreements and understandings. All such agreements should be formalized in
writing whenever possible.
Warren County EOP
BP - 9
JAN. 2004
B.
4.
Disaster Assistance from the State or Federal government will be utilized in
accordance with their provisions and statutes. Requests for such assistance will be
made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Appendix 4.
5.
Review and written concurrence of this Plan and its Annexes will be accomplished
as follows: each agency/department of government and private sector organizations
assigned emergency responsibilities will review this Plan. They will report their
concurrence to the Warren County Emergency Management Director.
6.
The County Commissioners will sign the promulgation statement for all Warren
County government departments.
7.
After this Plan is adopted by the Warren County Commission, it will be offered to all
municipalities in the county for their review and adoption, if they so desire.
Logistics
1.
Whenever possible, procurement of necessary resources will be accomplished using
normal day-to-day channels.
2.
During unusual situations, when such constraints would result in the loss of life and
property, normal requisition procedures can be circumvented. This will be done
under the authorities and by the procedures set forth in the local ordinances.
3.
Establish policy for obtaining and using facilities, materials, services, and other
resources required to support emergency operations.
4.
Set up procedures for receiving and managing the donations and services of
individual citizens, private sector organizations, and others not included in the formal
response structure.
5.
Identify, as appropriate, special or critical resources required for radiological and
chemical analysis, environmental assessment, biological sampling, etc.
6.
Develop procedures for inventory, storage, maintenance, and replacement of
administrative and logistical support items during emergency conditions.
7.
Identify the availability and accessibility of resources from neighboring jurisdictions,
military installations, the State, and the Federal government. See Warren County
Emergency Management Agency Resource Book.
VIII. PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
A.
The Warren County EOP was developed through the efforts of the Warren County
Emergency Management Director with assistance provided by the State Emergency
Warren County EOP
BP - 10
JAN. 2004
Management Agency. During the development, various agencies, organizations, and county
and city governments were interviewed to discuss their roles, responsibilities, and
capabilities in an emergency.
B.
This Plan is a result of their input. The Warren County EOP is a multi-hazard, functional
plan, broken into three components: (1) a Basic Plan that serves as an overview of the
jurisdiction's approach to emergency management, (2) Annexes that address specific
activities critical to emergency response and recovery, and (3) Appendices which support
each Annex and contain technical information, details, and methods for use in emergency
operations.
C.
The Basic Plan is to be used primarily by the County Commission and the Emergency
Management Agency (EMA), but all individuals/agencies involved in the EOP should be
familiar with it. The Annexes are to be used by the operational managers and the
appendices are for disaster response personnel.
D.
The contents of this Plan must be understood by those who will implement it or it will not be
effective. Thus, the Warren County Emergency Management Director (EMD) will brief the
appropriate officials on their roles in emergency management. The director will also brief
newly employed officials as they assume their duties.
E.
Each organization/agency with an assigned task will be responsible for the development and
maintenance of their respective segments of the Plan (see Part IV, Organization and
Assignment of Responsibilities). They will update their portion of the Plan, as needed, based
on experience in emergencies, deficiencies identified through drills and exercises, and
changes in government structure and emergency organizations.
F.
The Emergency Management Director (EMD) will instigate an annual review of the Plan by
all officials and agencies. He/She will ensure that necessary changes and revisions to the
Plan are prepared, coordinated, published, and distributed. The Director will provide a copy
of the plan revisions to all organizations/agencies assigned responsibility for implementation
of the Plan.
G.
This Plan will be activated once a year in the form of a simulated emergency, taking into
account actual events, in order to determine if revisions can be made that would improve
disaster response and recovery operations. This will also provide practical controlled
operations experience to those who have EOC responsibilities. This will be done by the
Emergency Management Director, with the approval of the Warren County Commission.
H.
This Plan or any portions thereof will be activated by the order of the Warren County
Commission present, or by the procedures set forth in Appendix 3.
I.
This Plan will become effective upon the date it is approved and signed by the Warren
County Commission.

Appendix 7 To The Basic Plan
WARREN COUNTY HAZARD ANALYSIS
This appendix is designed to provide an overview of the hazards that could affect Warren County. In
general, hazards can be placed into two (2) categories: natural and technological/man-made hazards. Note
those hazards, which are identified by an asterisk, are considered to be high-risk hazards for Warren
County:
I.
NATURAL HAZARDS
A.
*Tornado:
Since Missouri lies in the heart of the nation's "tornado alley", its residents are particularly
vulnerable to tornadoes. Seventy percent (70%) of Missouri's tornadoes occur during the
months of March, April, May and June, but a tornado can occur at any time of the year. In
past years (1950-2001) Warren County has recorded 9 tornado touchdowns; consequently,
Warren County is considered at risk to tornadoes.
B.
*Winter Storms:
Although excessive snowfalls with prolonged severe cold, or storms producing blizzard
conditions are rare in Missouri, they do occur.
A large winter storm accompanied by severe cold could cause numerous secondary hazards
such as power failures, fuel shortages, and transportation incidents.
C.
*Floods:
Flooding is a potential risk in Warren County. In recent years, Warren County has been
included in Presidential Declarations for disaster assistance in 1993 and 1995. In the past
years 1955 to 2002 Warren County has recorded 16 flood events, resulting in 4 injuries and
1 death. See Appendix 5, Annex J.
D.
Earthquake:
Although earthquakes in the Midwest occur less frequently than on the west coast, the threat
of earthquake affecting Missouri is high. In the event of a magnitude 7.6 earthquake along
the New Madrid seismic zone, Warren County could experience an intensity of VII on the
Modified Mercalli Scale. See Attachment B to this Appendix for additional information.
Warren County EOP
BP - 35
JAN 2004
E.
F.
*Drought:
1.
Drought is defined as a prolonged period with no rain that can affect agricultural
areas and impact water supply systems. Because of its geographical location and
characteristic weather patterns, Missouri is vulnerable to drought conditions.
Agricultural droughts are the most common of record, particularly those inflicting
damage to corn crop yields. Surface water sources usually become inadequate
during extended drought. Groundwater resources are normally poor and typically
supply only enough water for domestic needs. Irrigation is generally not feasible.
When irrigation is practical, groundwater withdrawal may affect other uses. Surface
water sources are used to supplement irrigation supplied by groundwater sources.
2.
The Department of Natural Resources has divided Missouri into three regions which
are prioritized according to drought susceptibility: Region A - Slight, Region B Moderate and Region C – High. Most of Warren County is located in Region B.
Region B the natural groundwater resources are adequate to meet domestic and
municipal water needs, but due to required well depths, irrigation wells are very
expensive. The topography generally is unsuitable for row-crop irrigation. The
southern area of Warren County that borders the Missouri River is classified in
Region A which has very little drought susceptibility.
*Heat Wave:
A heat wave is defined by the National Weather Service as three consecutive days of 90
degree Fahrenheit plus temperatures. These high temperatures generally occur from June
through September but are most prevalent in the months of July and August. When heat
indexes of 105 degrees are reached for a large portion of the state, the Missouri Department
of Health will announce a hot weather health advisory, warning or emergency, depending
upon the duration. Heat waves are often a major contributing factor to power outages
(brownouts, etc.) as the high temperatures result in a tremendous demand for electricity for
cooling purposes.
G.
Wildfire:
A wildfire is the uncontrolled burning in grasslands, brush or forest. The majority of fires
and the greatest acreage loss will generally occur between February and September.
H.
*Other:
Additional natural hazards that could affect Warren County include: ice storms, sleet, hail,
high winds, excessive rain and lightning.
Warren County EOP
BP - 36
JAN 2004
II.
TECHNOLOGICAL/MAN-MADE HAZARDS
A.
*Hazardous Materials:
Warren County is prone to hazardous materials incidents from both fixed containment sites
and transportation accidents. There are numerous fixed facilities that store/use hazardous
materials. Several major transportation routes cross through the county, which include the
following (For additional information see Annex H):
Highways:
Rail Lines:
Pipe Lines:
Waterways:
Airports:
B.
Interstate 70 & Highway 47 & 94
Norfolk Southern
Knaeb, Conoco and Williams & Platte
Missouri River
Washington Airport
*Transportation Incidents:
This type of incident involves passenger and/or rail travel that results in death or serious
injury. There is one rail line in Warren County and the nearest airport that provides
passenger service is located in St. Louis. Highway incidents are usually excluded under this
hazard and addressed under hazardous materials incident
C.
Dam Failure:
There are 125 dams in Warren County. Of these dams there are 28 high hazard dams, 46
significant hazard, and 51 low hazard. The hazard rating is based on the contents of the
downstream environment zone. The partial or complete collapse of any of these structures
has the potential to cause downstream flooding problems in the County.
D.
Fire:
Fire is the primary cause of accidental death in the United States, surpassing floods,
automobile accidents and other disasters. Twenty (20) times more deaths are caused by fire
than by floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes combined. Fires may be accidental or
intentional and have the potential to cause major conflagrations, leading to secondary
hazards, such as a hazardous materials incident. Fires are by far the most frequent hazard
that will affect Warren County.
E.
Power Failures:
The loss or interruption of power can cause significant problems for the businesses and
residents of Warren County. Power failure can result from another disaster (i.e., tornado,
winter storm, etc.) or it can occur on its own. Power failures can be particularly dangerous
when they occur during periods of either extreme heat or cold.
Warren County EOP
BP - 37
JAN 2004
F.
Terrorism:
Warren County, like any other area in the country, is vulnerable to a terrorist attack. An
attack of this nature can come in many different forms, bombings, tampering with the local
public works’/utilities’ infrastructure, etc. See ANNEX N (Terrorism) for additional
information.
G.
H.
Public Health Emergency:
1.
Public health emergencies can take many forms – disease epidemics, large-scale
incidents of food and water contamination, or extended periods without adequate
water and sewage services. There can also be harmful exposure to chemical,
radiological or biological agents, and large-scale infestations of disease-carrying
insects or rodents – to name just a few. Public health emergencies can occur as
primary events by themselves, or they may be secondary events to another disaster or
emergency, such as flood, tornado, or hazardous material incident. The common
characteristic of most public health emergencies is that they adversely impact, or
have the potential to adversely impact, a large number of people. They can be
statewide, regional, or localized.
2.
In particular, two public health hazards have recently emerged as issues. The first
hazard is the release of a radiological, chemical, or biological agent, as a terrorist act
of sabotage, to adversely impact a large number of people. The second hazard would
be a deadly flu outbreak (influenza pandemic) that could kill or sicken thousands of
people across the country or around the globe, as in the case of the Spanish Flu
epidemic of 1918-19. Such a pandemic could occur either by a natural means, or
man-caused as a bio-chemical terrorist activity. For additional information, refer to
the New County and Health Plan.
Nuclear Power Plant Incident:
The Callaway Nuclear Plant is a commercial nuclear power reactor located west of Warren
County in Callaway County. The plant is owned and operated by Ameren/UE, St. Louis. In a
worst-case scenario, in which a significant release of radioactive material occurred, food
sources within a fifty (50) mile radius of the plant could be contaminated. Since all of
Warren County lies within the 50 mile ingestion pathway/Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ),
a radiation release could affect agricultural products throughout Warren County. In the
event of a significant release, the community would be notified and advised on what actions
to take in accordance with the emergency operation plans developed by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the State of Missouri. See Attachment A to Appendix 7
To the Basic Plan. To View the map of the Callaway Nuclear Plant’s 50-mile radial grid.

I.
Pipeline Failure:
Another technological/manmade hazard which could affect Warren County is a pipeline
failure. There are various pipeline systems located within the County that could rupture,
block, or otherwise create a disruption within the County.

Appendix 8 To the Basic Plan
EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE
A.
The New Madrid Seismic Zone is centered in Southeast Missouri and northeast Arkansas, but
extends into parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee. The region is
considered to pose the greatest danger and have the highest seismic level of any area east of the
Rocky Mountains. Due to the geology of the area, damages could be spread over a large area of the
Central United States.
B.
Addendum 1 to this Appendix illustrates the projected Modified Mercalli intensities for Missouri
should a 7.6 magnitude earthquake occur anywhere along the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Warren
County can expect to feel the effects of a VII intensity on the Modified Mercalli scale. See
Addendum 1 to this Attachment for a list of these effects for Warren County.
C.
A magnitude earthquake of 7.6 or greater would cause massive casualties and injuries, as well as
severe damage to private and public property. (Most casualties and injuries are due to falling
objects and debris, not from the actual movement of the ground.) Railroads, highways, bridges,
telecommunications, and utilities could also be severely damaged. An earthquake could trigger
secondary events such as explosions, fires, landslides, flooding, liquefaction and hazardous
materials releases. Natural gas and petroleum pipelines could rupture, causing fires and explosions.
Dam failures are also likely to follow a major earthquake. Note: A New Madrid Earthquake could
also be defined as a National Disaster due to the potential adverse impact it would have on the
United States.
D.
A major earthquake would overwhelm a local jurisdiction's ability to adequately respond to the
situation.
E.
Earthquakes are more likely to hinder emergency operations than most other disasters or
emergencies (i.e., difficulties coordinating services and acquiring resources could be much more
critical).
F.
Access to and from the damaged area may be severely restricted for hours at least, if not days.
Communications and life-support systems may be severely hampered or destroyed.
G.
Seismic caused ground motions and its resulting damage may vary within a geographical region.
There could be heavy damage in one area and only slight damage in another area. Initial reports of
the earthquake may not reflect the true nature of the problem.
H.
A catastrophic earthquake would result in an immediate declaration of a "State of Emergency" by
the Governor, followed later by a Presidential Disaster Declaration. This would allow State and
Federal emergency operations to begin.
I.
Local jurisdictions may have to "go it alone" for the first 72 hours after an earthquake, before State
and Federal assistance arrives.

ANNEX A
DIRECTION & CONTROL
I.
II.
PURPOSE
A.
When an emergency occurs, centralized direction and control is required to facilitate a
coordinated response by the County Commission and key staff members, emergency
support service personnel, and representatives of private sector, organizations or
individuals who have assigned emergency responsibilities. The most effective way to
exercise direction and control under emergency conditions is to provide a single site for
key officials. This has been provided through the Emergency Operation Center (EOC).
B.
This Annex will develop a capability for the Warren County Commission and key local
officials of the County to direct and control response and recovery operations from a
centralized facility in the event of an emergency.
SITUATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Warren County is subject to many hazards (See Situation and Assumptions, Basic
Plan) that would require the use of a centralized emergency operating area to
facilitate policymaking, coordination, and control of operating forces in a largescale emergency situation.
2.
Warren County and its incorporated municipalities are separate entities and thus
will control operations from EOCs within their respective jurisdiction. If the
incorporated subdivisions do not have an emergency management organization,
the county will assume that role upon request
3.
Warren County will control their operations from their EOC. If the incorporated
subdivisions do not have an emergency management organization, the county will
assume this responsibility upon request. Primary and alternate EOC designations
for Warren County are as follows:
Warren County EOP
a.
Primary: Warren County E-911 Joint Communication Center 209
Highway U, Warrenton, Missouri 63383.
b.
Alternate: Warrenton Fire Protection District Station #1, 606 Fairgrounds
Road, Warrenton, MO.
c.
Mobile: A mobile communications trailer is also available from the
Warren County Local Emergency Planning Committee. The E-911 Joint
Communications center is staffed 24 hours a day and has the
communications equipment to communicate with City, County and State
departments or agencies. This includes contact with the State Highway
A-1
JAN 2004
Patrol, Troop C in Town and Country, area ambulance, fire and police
departments, and local governmental agencies.
B.
III.
4.
On-site direction and control can also be established, if necessary, through the use
of emergency vehicles equipped with radio communications.
5.
The primary EOC has the capability to communicate with City, County, and State
departments and agencies. Among these are the Missouri State Highway Patrol,
area fire and police departments, etc. Annex B details the communications
capabilities of Warren County.
6.
Space will be provided in the EOC for Direction and Control Staff (the
coordinators of the emergency functions), supporting agency representatives, and
EOC staff (clerical support, plotters, etc.). Space for briefing the media will be
available, but separate from actual operations rooms. State and Federal officials
who support disaster operations will also be provided space to operate in the
EOC.
Assumptions:
1.
The EOC Direction and Control procedures described in this Annex shall be
adequate for all disaster conditions that could arise for Warren County.
2.
When an emergency or disaster occurs or threatens to occur, the EOC will be
activated in a timely manner. Local officials will respond as directed in this
Annex and Appendix 3 to the Basic Plan.
3.
Should a total County evacuation of the EOC become necessary, operations can
be successfully controlled from nearby safe location.
4.
Close coordination with the EOC will be maintained to identify special
considerations, secondary threats, and available resources.
5.
Most emergency situations are handled routinely by emergency response
personnel and can be managed by those response agencies under their established
procedures.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General:
(NOTE: 1-10 below are from the original EOP. The remaining are recommended.)
1.
The EOC and emergency response personnel will be activated according to the
procedures outlined in Appendix 3 of the Basic Plan.
Warren County EOP
A-2
JAN 2004
2.
In most cases, the composition of the necessary operational staff will be
determined after all personnel have been called in and are present.
a.
Space will be provided in the EOC for the County Commissioners and principal
advisors, damage assessment staff, the public information officer and radiological protection officer
including recorders, analysts and plotters. Space for briefing the media will be available but separate
from the actual operations room.
3.
The majority of agencies will operate from the EOC with the exceptions of those
agencies with numerous records and files who will send a representative to the
EOC when called upon to do so.
4.
Each emergency support agency/service will designate a representative to report to
the EOC during an emergency to advise decision makers and coordinate its
agency/service’s response effort with other responding organizations/agencies.
5.
The Emergency Management Agency Director shall maintain the capability to
activate the EOC on short notice and maintain a continuous 24-hour a day
manning of emergency response jobs (EOC staff, emergency support services,
dispatchers, shelter teams, etc.). This will include setting up work shifts (i.e. 8
hours, 12 hours, etc.).
6.
Those organizations and agencies providing emergency response personnel must
include in their standard operating guideline (SOGs) the specific emergency
authorities that may assume by a designated successor during emergency
situations. The circumstances under which this authority would become effective
and when it would be terminated should also be identified.
7.
Although the elected governmental officials and department heads will control
operations, the Emergency Management Director will manage the EOC.
8.
A log will be kept in the EOC to record significant events and key information
related to the disaster during an emergency situation. See Appendix 3 for log
form.
9.
The decision to discontinue operations will be made by the County Commission.
10.
Staffing requirements of the EOC will be determined by the severity of the
situation.
11.
The majority of departments will operate from the EOC with the exceptions, of
those departments with numerous records and files. However, when called upon
to do so, they will provide a representative to the EOC.
12.
Although the elected governmental officials and department heads will control
operations, the Emergency Management Director will manage the EOC.
Warren County EOP
A-3
JAN 2004
B.
13.
In some situations, it may be necessary to utilize an on-scene command post or to
move direction and control activities to the alternate EOC.
14.
The on-scene commander will direct and control operations at the disaster site.
He/She will maintain contact with the EOC and keep them informed of the
current situation.
15.
Those emergency support services that do not operate from the EOC will designate
and establish a work/control/dispatch center to manage their resources and
response personnel. During emergency situations, they will maintain contact with
the EOC through their designated representative.
16.
Should a life-threatening situation develop or appear imminent, emergency
instructions to the public will be disseminated by all available means (See
ANNEX C). EOC operations will continue as required by the situation and will
conclude by order of the chief elected official and the Emergency Management
Director.
17.
The FBI has been designated as the Lead Federal Agency (LFA) for a Terrorist
event, to include Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Local and State
agencies are to work jointly with the FBI in resolving the terrorist situation. Local
Law Enforcement retains control within their jurisdiction. See Appendix 3 to
Annex E and Annex N for further information on terrorism incidents. State
and/or Federal officials will support disaster operations as appropriate. These
officials will coordinate their efforts through their designated EOCs. (See Annex
N (Terrorism) for additional information and requirements.

COMMUNICATIONS AND WARNING
I.
PURPOSE
The ability of local government to direct its emergency forces through adequate
communication is essential to an effective operation in an emergency or disaster.
Although Warren County already has an existing effective communication system in
place, it is necessary to plan on how to realize the most effective use of this system in
the event of an emergency or disaster. This Annex was developed to provide
information and guidance concerning available or potentially available communications
and warning capabilities of Warren County and how they can be augmented if
necessary.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Warren County could find itself subjected to many hazards (see Basic
Plan, Situation and Assumptions) and would require activating emergency
communications and warning operations.
2.
Warren County receives its initial warning information from the Missouri
State Highway Patrol, Troop C Headquarters in Town and Country, where
the National Warning Alert System (NAWAS) point is located. This
warning, in turn, is dispersed throughout the County.
3.
The communications and warning capabilities for Emergency Responders
in Warren County are handled by the Warren County E-911 Joint
Communications Center.
4.
The Warren County E-911 Joint Communications Center is staffed on a
24-hour basis by dispatch personnel. They dispatch for the following
agencies: Warren County Sheriff, Warrenton Police, Wright City Police,
Marthasville Police, Truesdale Police, Warren County Ambulance,
Marthasville Ambulance District, Warrenton Fire Protection District,
Wright City Fire Protection Dist., Marthasville Fire Protection District,
and the Warren County Emergency Management Agency. Dispatching is
done by radio and/or telephone, depending on how the call is received and
where the responding agency is.
5.
Severe weather warnings are received by the Warren County E-911 Joint
Communications Center and are dispersed throughout the county. There is
currently only one operational warning system in Warren County; this
system services the Cities of Warrenton and Truesdale. These sirens are
Warren County EOP
B-1
JAN 2004
tone-activated by Warren County E-911 Joint Communications Center
Dispatchers. Warning in the uncovered areas of the county will be handled
by mobile public address systems operated by the County Sheriff’s
Department. Radio and television stations will also broadcast warnings.
B.
III.
6.
This system can be augmented by amateur radio operators from the
Dutzow and St. Charles group.
7.
This system is adequate to deal with most emergency situations in Warren
County, but in a severe emergency, augmentation may be required (i.e.
LEPC Mobile Communication Trailer.)
Assumptions:
1.
It is assumed that the existing communications and warning system in
Warren County will survive and remain functional regardless of which
type of disaster strikes the area.
2.
This Annex will aid timely emergency responses during disasters by
insuring coordination of all communication and warning systems.
3.
If the situation is such that local systems are overtaxed, the State will be
able to augment local resources during the response and recovery phases.
4.
Regardless of how well developed a warning system is, some citizens will
ignore, not hear, or not understand warnings of impending disasters
broadcast over radio or television, or sounded by local siren systems.
Mobile public address and even door-to-door operations may be required
in some disaster situations.
5.
In most cases the communications center (dispatching personnel) in
conjunction with the Incident Management Commander on the scene, will
make the initial determination that a "classified" emergency has occurred
or is developing. (See Appendix 4 to the Basic Plan, Emergency
Classification, Control, and Alerting Procedures.)
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General
1.
Warren County EOP
Ultimate responsibility for developing and maintaining an emergency operations
communications and warning capability lies with local government.
B-2
JAN 2004
B.
2.
The communications and warning operations will be initiated by the Warren
County Joint 911 Communications Center. They will establish shifts to provide a
24-hour a day staffing of their communications facilities during emergencies
3.
During classified emergencies, curtailment of routine action may be necessary.
The degree of this curtailment will be determined by the chief communications
officer and will depend upon the severity of the situation.
4.
During emergency operations, all departments will maintain their existing
equipment and procedures for communicating with their field operations. They
will keep the EOC informed of their operations at all times and will maintain
communications liaison with the EOC
5.
Communications between the state and local EOC will be primarily through land
line telephone links.
6.
Telephone services, amateur radio communications network, in the area will be
used to expand communications capabilities during disaster situations.
7.
Most warning alerts come from outside sources (i.e., state, National Weather
Service, etc.).
8.
When an emergency situation occurs, all available systems will be used to alert
and warn the private residences, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. Methods
of warning include: television, radio, and outdoor warning sirens.
9.
Tests and educational programs will be conducted regularly to ensure the public
understands the various warnings.

1.
Overall coordination and control of communications and warning in Warren
County is the responsibility of the Warren County E-911 Joint Communications
Center. The Warren County E-911 Joint Communications Center will coordinate
all communication activities in the county. This coordination is necessary
because the NAWAS (National Warning System) warning originates here for
the County from Troop C, Town and Country.
2.
Those areas of the county that do not have a warning system in place, warning
will be provided by local radio and televisions stations activating their
Emergency Alert System (EAS).
3.
All law enforcement Departments are responsible for keeping the EOC
informed of their operations at all times with regard to communications and
warning activities.
DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A.
For incidents that have reached an emergency classification (See Appendix 3 to the
Basic Plan), overall direction and control will be from the designated EOC within
the affected area or subdivision.
B.
Specific department heads may be designated to maintain operational control of
their own communications systems, but will coordinate with the EOC during
Warren County EOP
B-5
JAN 2004
emergency operations. All departments must become familiar with the procedures
outlined in this Annex.
VI.
C.
When a classified emergency occurs, normal procedures can be altered as
necessary to insure adequate direction and control.
D.
Outside communications and warning resources used to support emergency
operations will remain under the direct control of the sponsoring organization, but
will be assigned by the EOC to respond as necessary.
CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
A.
Lines of succession to each department head and other key personnel positions
shall be according to the procedures and normal lines of succession established in
the respective departments' SOGs.
B.
In the event the primary communications and warning facilities become
inoperable, the secondary Emergency Operation Center will be Warrenton Fire
Station #1, 606 Fairgrounds Road, Warrenton Missouri 63383. The Mobile LEPC
Communication Trailer could be used at this location to supplement
communication, if necessary. Security would be provided by county and or local
law enforcement.
C.
The Alternate Emergency Operation Center will provide:
D.
1.
Complete Radio operations for Warren County
2.
Administration telephone lines
3.
Additional telephone lines
4.
Dispatch capabilities
5.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Alert
monitoring.
All essential records vital to the continued functioning of the communications and
warning section should be duplicated and maintained at another location. If this is
not possible, plans should be developed to move documents to an alternate site.

ANNEX C
EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION
I.
PURPOSE
To provide for the timely release of accurate public safety information to the residents of
Warren County in the event of a disaster or emergency
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
B.
Situation:
1.
Warren County could be affected by several types of disasters, which would
require the dissemination of information and instructions to the general public.
2.
There are no prominent groups of non-English speaking people in Warren
County. Dissemination of information will be in English. If necessary, the
translation of emergency public information will be coordinated with the area
schools' foreign languages staff. According to the U.S. Bureau of Census 2000
96.9% of Warren County speak the English language at home. It would be
assumed that a certain percentage of these people that do not speak English at
home would know and understand the English language.
Assumptions:
1.
The media serving Warren County will cooperate with local officials in the
dissemination of information to the public. (See Appendix 4 of this Annex.)
2.
Widespread or major disasters may result in state and national media coverage.
Media personnel from state and national levels will not necessarily be familiar
with the Warren County news release procedures.
3.
Media personnel will attempt to obtain information from other than "official
sources".
4.
Federal and State officials may be on-site and called upon for information. Such
Federal and State agencies will provide Public Information Officer (PIO) support
to Warren County, if requested.
5.
More than one local public information officer may be involved during
emergency operations. Release of public information will be coordinated with
appropriate county and city officials, as necessary.
Warren County EOP
C-1
JAN 2004
III.
6.
During an actual or impending emergency, or international crisis, the public will
expect local government to provide specific information relating to safety,
survival, and protection of property.
7.
An effective Public Information program will reduce casualties and damages.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General:
1.
The Public Information Officer will be located in the Warren County EOC
(or at a location to be designated when this Plan is implemented). This
place will serve as the single official point of contact for the media during
an emergency
2.
The Warren County Commission or their designated PIO representative
shall approve the release of all official public information.
3.
Only that information released by the County Commission or the
designated PIO will be considered official. The media will be so
informed.
4.
Information for release will be prepared and released to the media in
accordance with the format described in Appendix 2 to this Annex.
5.
Response organizations are responsible for coordinating with the PIO for
clearing press releases with the jurisdiction's elected officials or their
designated PIO representative before releasing information to the media
for public use.
6.
Any person, department, or agency releasing information to the public of
their own volition will bear the responsibility for any legal or moral
ramifications and repercussions resulting from that release.
7.
Dissemination of public information will utilize all media methods:
television, radio, and newspaper. Activation of the Emergency Alert
System (EAS), if necessary, will be in accordance with the State
Emergency Alert Operational Plan.
8.
Public information personnel in the field will coordinate with the PIO
through frequent contacts with the EOC or staff.
9.
Periodic briefings as necessary for media personnel will be conducted by
the County Commissioners or their designated PIO.
Warren County EOP
C-2
JAN 2004
10.
A rumor control section will answer inquiries from the public and
monitor public media broadcasts to insure the public is receiving accurate
information
11.
A major task of public information operations will be responding to
inquiries. The PIO must establish procedures to inform families on the
status of relatives that are injured, missing or deceased, emergency
services that are available damaged and/or restricted areas due to a disaster
event, etc.
12.
Prepare Emergency Public Information (EPI) materials that address
survival tips for the sheltering in-place, earthquakes, tornados and
flooding.)
13.
The PIO will work with the Health and Medical Coordinator to prepare the
emergency public information EPI materials that describe the health risks
associated with each hazard, the appropriate self-help or first aid actions,
and other appropriate survival measures.
14.
Should the need arise; the PIO will see that EPI materials are prepared for
the visually impaired and non-English-speaking groups.
15.
The PIO will coordinate with the Emergency Management Director to
prepare instructions for people who must evacuate from a high-risk area
(as a result of flooding, dam failure, etc.). These EPI materials will
include the following for each threat.

DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
I.
II.
PURPOSE
A.
Following any type of disaster occurrence, one of the most important tasks to be
performed is a complete damage assessment. It is necessary to (1) insure the safety of
local residents, (2) establish priorities for repair of public facilities and roads, (3)
determine if outside assistance is necessary, and (4) plan mitigation measures that
will lessen the effect of future occurrences.
B.
The purpose of this Annex is to organize existing personnel in Warren County and the
communities therein in such a manner that the assessments can be completed in a
timely manner with results that will be consistent with State and Federal guidelines.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Any of the identified hazards that could affect Warren County (See Basic Plan,
Situation and Assumptions) has the potential for causing extensive public and
private damage.
2.
A thorough damage assessment is essential before a community can:
a.
Conduct effective emergency operations.
b.
Recover from the effects of a disaster in a manner that will insure safety
while minimizing the time required for the recovery.
c.
Mitigate against future disasters.
3.
All disaster relief programs exist at the federal level; therefore, damage estimation
will be completed following federal guidelines.
4.
Chapter 44, RSMo provides for the establishment of the Structural Assessment
and Visual Evaluation (SAVE) Volunteer Program to be activated in the event of
a catastrophic earthquake or other natural disaster. This program allows the
services of architects, professional engineers and building inspectors to assist
local officials in the inspection of buildings. Inspection forms used by the SAVE
Coalition are contained in Appendix 3 to this Annex. Requests for these services
are made through the State Emergency Management Agency.
Warren County EOP
D-1
JAN 2004
B.
III.
5.
There may be other disaster situations where the volunteers mentioned above
would not be needed, but there is still a need for the local jurisdiction to conduct
damage assessments in order to determine the magnitude and impact of the
incident on individuals, businesses, and the public infrastructure within that
jurisdiction. These initial assessments will normally be conducted by that
jurisdiction's personnel.
6.
To assist local jurisdiction in conducting these assessments and to provide a
standard method of reporting that information, SEMA has developed several
Damage Assessment Forms (see Appendix 2 to this Annex). Instructions for
completing these forms are also included in this Appendix.
Assumptions:
1.
This Annex and all procedures therein will be developed with the assistance of
State personnel.
2.
Following a major disaster, State and Federal personnel will be available to assist
in the final damage estimation as well as Structural Assessment and Visual
Evaluation (SAVE) Coalition.
3.
A properly completed damage assessment may initiate future legislation that may
mitigate or lessen the effects of future disasters.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General:
1.
Survey teams dispatched from the EOC will make damage assessments in Warren
County.
2.
These teams will consist mainly of county officials and American Red Cross
Damage Assessment Teams, but could also include skilled persons from the
private sector (real estate agents, insurance agents, contractors, etc.).
3.
There are two types of damage assessments:
Warren County EOP
a.
The first type of damage reports are those that come in during an actual
emergency. These reports may come from government employees
operating in the field or from private citizens. They are useful in allocating
resources during the disaster and in prioritizing recovery operations
afterwards.
b.
The second type is the assessment completed after a disaster. It is made by
highly trained individuals (damage survey teams) and is a more
comprehensive structural damage assessment. This comprehensive
D-2
JAN 2004
assessment is important in developing recovery plans, seeking outside
assistance, and mitigating future disasters.
4.
Communications equipment for the survey team will be provided by the Warren
County Emergency Management Agency. Additional support will be provided by
the Warren County E-911 Joint Communications Center (See Annex B).
Additional support may be required by the various emergency sections.
5.
When Federal/State damage survey teams are working in Warren County, a
member of the local damage survey team and/or a local official will accompany
them.
6.
There will be two types of damage surveys completed. One will be of damage to
privately owned structures and property and the other will be of damage to
public/government owned structures and property.
7.
If the necessary response is beyond the capability of the local jurisdiction, the
chief executive or his/her designated successor may request assistance from the
Governor through the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). SEMA
will conduct a joint damage assessment with local officials to determine the extent
of the incident and the need for state assistance. If recovery from the incident is
beyond the capability of the local and state government, SEMA will initiate the
request for a federal damage assessment from FEMA. NOTE: Federal assistance
is supplemental to State assistance, which is supplemental to local capabilities.
8.
In anticipation of making a request to the President for federal assistance, SEMA,
in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), will
conduct a preliminary damage assessment with one of two different teams. One
team assesses the effects of damage to individuals, residences, and small
businesses (Individual Damage Assessment) and is comprised of, but not limited
to, SEMA, FEMA, Red Cross, and Small Business Administration (SBA). The
other team will assess damages to the public infrastructure (Public Assistance
Assessment) and is usually comprised of, but not limited to, FEMA and SEMA
personnel. Individuals from the Missouri Department of Transportation, Missouri
Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may
also be used depending on the situation. Appropriate local officials will
accompany each team and participate in the surveys.
9.
If the situation is determined to be beyond the capability of local and state
government, the Governor may request from the President either an "Emergency"
or "Major Disaster" declaration for assistance. The Governor's request for federal
assistance is sent through FEMA, Region VII, Kansas City, to their national office
in Washington, D.C., and hence to the President for consideration.
10.
If FEMA determines that the impact of the incident is not beyond the combined
capabilities of the local and state government, a presidential disaster declaration
will not be received.
Warren County EOP
D-3
JAN 2004
B.
11.
If the President grants federal assistance, the President will declare either an
emergency or major disaster and implement the applicable disaster assistance
programs as provided for under the provisions of the Robert T. Stafford Act under
Public Law 93-288, as amended.
12.
If a presidential disaster declaration is received, the State and Federal
governments will disseminate the disaster assistance information to the public
through the news media.
13.
SEMA and FEMA may, with the assistance of the local government, may
establish Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) where individuals may come and
obtain information/assistance from various government agencies and private
organizations. Counseling for disaster victims may also be available at these
centers. The local, state, and federal emergency management organizations will
jointly determine the locations, dates, and times of operation for the DRCs which
would most benefit the disaster victims.

ANNEX E
LAW ENFORCEMENT
I.
II.
PURPOSE
A.
Law enforcement agencies deal with emergencies on a regular day-to-day basis. This is
the nature of their occupation. Adequate resources are normally available to cope with
any occurrence that should arise.
B.
During a disaster, however, these resources could be exhausted before a situation is
brought under control. This Annex will organize local law enforcement personnel and
develop procedures that will enable Warren County to provide law enforcement services
regardless of the situation.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Warren County could find itself subjected to many hazards (See Basic Plan,
Situation and Assumptions) that would threaten the lives and property of its
citizens. In each of these, local law enforcement personnel will have a major
response role.
2.
The Warren County Sheriff's Department, along with other municipal police
departments, provides law enforcement services in the County. (See Appendix 1
to this Annex).
3.
Local law enforcement resources are adequate to meet most day-to-day situations
that could arise, but an emergency could occur that would exceed local
capabilities.
4.
Outside law enforcement resources (Federal, State and other local) are available
to support operations in Warren County.
5.
In addition to normal law enforcement procedures, special training for personnel
will be required in the areas of:
6.
Warren County EOP
a.
Hazardous materials incidents
b.
Riot control
c.
Weather Spotting
See Annex N (Terrorism) for additional information, law enforcement
relationships, duties and responsibilities.
E-1
JAN 2004
B.
III.
Assumptions:
1.
During a disaster, local law enforcement personnel will respond as directed in this
Plan. Situations may arise that could tax or exceed local law enforcement
capabilities. If Warren County finds itself with insufficient manpower, equipment,
or special expertise needed to maintain law and order, assistance from outside
resources may be called upon to respond.
2.
Situations will arise that will tax or exceed local law enforcement capabilities.
3.
If additional law enforcement personnel, equipment, or special expertise is
needed, outside resources will respond when called upon to do so.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General:
1.
The law enforcement activities described in this Annex are an extension of
normal day-to-day activities and deal only with extraordinary situations
that may completely saturate available resources and involve several
jurisdictions. (See Appendix 3 to the Basic Plan.)
2.
In addition to being the lead agency in certain response situations (i.e., riots,
hostage situations, etc.) the law enforcement section will provide security and
support in all other emergencies that threaten life and property.
3.
Local law enforcement agencies will primarily performed law
enforcement functions, while outside agencies will be used for traffic and
crowd control.
4.
Emergency operations will be directed from the EOC or forward
command post within the affected area. Questions concerning a lead
agency in such a disaster situation will be resolved in the EOC (See
Appendix 3 to the Basic Plan.)
5.
The Warren County Sheriff's Department will control law enforcement
operations in all unincorporated areas of the County, while the Municipal
Police Chiefs will control operations within the boundaries of their
respective jurisdictions.

FIRE AND RESCUE
I.
II.
PURPOSE
A.
By the very nature of their duties, the local fire departments protect lives and
property on a daily basis. However, in a disaster situation of sufficient
magnitude, normal day-to-day procedures, personnel or equipment could prove
inadequate to provide this protection.
B.
The purpose of this Annex is to organize local fire fighting resources and establish
procedures that will enable these resources to meet the demands of a disaster
situation.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Warren County is subject to many hazards that could present difficulties
with regard to fire protection. (See Basic Plan, Situation and
Assumptions).
2.
Warren County is served by the following Fire Protection Districts, which
are comprised of paid employees and volunteers.

F-1
JAN 2004
B.
4.
Situations could arise that would hinder fire-fighting capabilities or
overwhelm local resources.
5.
Outside assistance (Federal, State or other local governments) is available
should the need arise.
6.
The responding fire department/district and ambulance personnel handle
rescues along with fire suppression responsibilities.
7.
Hazardous materials incidents will be handled on an area-by-area basis,
determined by the fire protection area in which they occur. (See Annex A,
Situation and Assumptions). The incident management system will be
followed and on-site management centers and EOCs will be established as
necessary and where necessary.
8.
Existing fire services provide support to other fire agencies through
mutual aid agreements.
Assumptions:
1.
Existing fire personnel and equipment should be adequate to deal with most
emergency situations, through existing mutual aid agreements with surrounding
communities.
2.
Trained personnel and specialized equipment are available to meet any situation
that could arise.
3.
Other county/city departments or agencies will respond to provide support as
detailed in this plan.
4.
State and Federal agencies will respond when necessary.
5.
All fire departments in the county will maintain the equipment and level of
training necessary to perform the fire protection functions.
6.
If evacuation is necessary, sufficient personnel may be available to assist the
Sheriff's Department/Police Departments with the movement and evacuation
while at the same time providing fire protection.
Warren County EOP

for extinguishing, diluting, or neutralizing hazardous materials.
b.
Alert all emergency support services to the dangers associated with
hazardous materials and fire during emergency operations.
c.
Conduct search and rescue operations.
In the response mode, the fire service will:
a.
Provide fire support to reception areas, if relocated.
b.
Provide fire protection in shelters.
4.
Fire and rescue personnel and equipment will be deployed to the location of
greatest need in the event of an emergency.
5.
In all cases the fire service will follow the Emergency Classification and Control
Procedures outlined in Appendix 3 to the Basic Plan.
6.
The fire service will provide support as requested by other agencies as long as it
does not affect the fire protection capability.
7.
Mutual aid agreements will be utilized to insure the best possible
protection for all residents of Warren County.
Tasks to be accomplished by Operational Time Frame:
1.

ANNEX G
RESOURCE & SUPPLY
I.
PURPOSE
In order to deal with the many types of disasters that could affect Warren County, local resources
must be utilized in a timely manner. This Annex was designed to give the local officials the
ability (1) to maintain a continuous inventory of these resources and, (2) to allocate these
resources in a prompt and orderly manner.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
B.
Situation:
1.
As this Annex is designed to provide for the management of the resources in
Warren County, a priority should be given to those resources, which could be
used to combat the hazards identified in the Basic Plan, under Situation and
Assumptions.
2.
Procedures will be set up to request assistance both within the county and from
outside.
3.
A system must be set up to insure adequate inventories of response resources are
available.
4.
The local Resources and Supply function will have to anticipate resource needs
for all types of hazards and provide the coordination necessary for the proper
allocation of these resources.
5.
Local resources will have to be used first before outside assistance is required.
Assumptions:
1.
During an emergency of a disaster magnitude, persons who own or control private
resources will cooperate without giving first thought to payment.
2.
Funds to provide payment for the use of private resources will be available either
from local government or (if the disaster is severe enough) from the Federal
government.
3.
Warren County officials will not request outside assistance until all local sources
have been exhausted (including mutual aid agreements).
4.
If the emergency response period lasts more than 24 hours, outside assistance will
probably be required.
Warren County EOP
G-1
JAN 2004
III.
5.
During a disaster or emergency, the County Commissioners may elect to suspend
or modify the normal supply requisition procedures.
6.
Following an emergency of this magnitude, private resources will be available
that have not been included on the resource lists (especially manpower).
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
B.
General:
1.

ANNEX H
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONSE
I.
II.
PURPOSE:
A.
Hazardous Materials Response is written as Annex H to the Warren County All Hazard
Emergency Operations Plan under the guidelines of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reorganization Act (SARA Title III). Other legislation used as
guidance includes OSHA 1910.20 as incorporated in EPA Regulation governing the
State.
B.
This Plan establishes the policies and procedures under which Warren County will
operate in the event of a hazardous material incident.
C.
This Plan defines the roles, responsibilities and relationships of government and private
organizations in response to a hazardous material incident.
D.
This Plan provides assurance of appropriate response to protect the population, property
and the environment of Warren County in the event of a hazardous material incident
involving transportation, use, storage, or processing of hazardous materials.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Warren County is located in East Central Missouri just west of St. Charles
County, and north of the Missouri River. Its borders encompass 429 square miles
of varied terrain and seven incorporated municipalities, many of whose residents
commute into St. Louis metropolitan area.
2.
Based on the 2000 census, Warren County has a population of 24,525. The
incorporated cities within the county are: Foristell, Village of Innsbrook,
Marthasville, Village of Pendelton, Truesdale, Warrenton and Wright City. The
county is chiefly rural in nature, but it does have some light manufacturing along
the I-70 corridor and adjacent railroad line.
3.
Three major highways cross the county: I-70 (East-West), Hwy 47 North/South)
and Hwy 94 (East -West along the Missouri River). One active railroad runs also
East-West (Norfolk and Southern).
4.
Three pipelines run through the county; one carries ammonia, the other two carry
petroleum products. (See Appendix 4).
5.
There are several fixed facilities in the county that use or store extremely
hazardous substances EHS. (See Appendix 5)
Warren County EOP
H-1
JAN 2004
B.
III.
6.
There are a number of fixed facilities in Warren County that use or store
hazardous substances. (See Appendix 6)
7.
The Southern parts of the county, including Hwy 47 & 94, are located within
flood plains. Flooding in the past has resulted in run-off of agricultural chemicals
and petroleum products into the Missouri River.
8.
Resources in Warren County for response to a major HAZMAT incident are
limited. Response to a serious incident (Level II or III) will in most cases require
outside resources, mutual aid, State and/or Federal government and the private
sector.
Assumptions:
1.
Proper implementation of this Annex and its supporting procedures will reduce or
prevent releases and related exposure to the public and environmental damage.
2.
The greatest threat of a serious hazardous material incident in Warren County is
posed by transportation related accidents. The greatest risk will more likely occur
along I-70 or along the Norfolk and Southern railroad line. Other state highways
in the county, mainly Hwy 47 and Hwy 94, pose a lesser risk due to the lighter
volume of traffic.
3.
There are a small number of fixed site facilities reporting Extremely Hazardous
Substances (EHS). Planning for these facilities will be carried out using a threetiered Hazard Analysis. Present levels of inventories reported via Tier II forms by
fixed site facilities storing and/or processing hazardous materials pose a relatively
small threat to the general population.
4.
Protective actions for the general population may include in-place sheltering
and/or evacuation. Many of the residents in the risk area will evacuate to private
homes or shelters of their own choosing.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General:
1.
Warren County does not have the resources to neutralize the effects of a serious
hazardous substance release and must turn to outside government and private
agencies for assistance. The county has the capability to provide logistical
support for these outside agencies and to coordinate off-site protective actions.
2.
Warren County has the capability to make a first response to a hazardous
materials release with local response agencies, with personnel that are trained at
the awareness or operations level. This response will be defensive and is to assess
Warren County EOP
H-2
JAN 2004
the severity of the incident, classify the emergency as shown below and start the
notification chain and/or the response chain.
B.
Actions to be taken by Operation Time Frames
Mitigation
1.
Develop after-action reports to include:
a.
Actions taken;
b.
Personnel costs and materials expended;
c.
Assistance received from and given to other agencies; and,
d.
Problem areas to address corrective measures.
2.
Review plans and procedures with key personnel and make revisions and changes.
3.
Develop safety programs that include disaster situations for presentation to the
public.
4.
Develop training programs for local fire departments and emergency medical
services.
5.
Identify facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes and adult congregate living
facilities (ACLFs) that could create special problems before or during an
evacuation.
6.
Participate in tests, exercises and drills.
7.
Establish liaison with private area resources that could be useful in the event of a
HAZMAT incident.
8.
Develop SOGs to meet anticipated needs.
9.
Review and update the annex and SOGs at least annually. Call-up lists should be
reviewed twice a year.
10.
Initiate and conduct training programs.
Preparedness
1.
Alert key personnel according to the procedures established in departmental callup lists.
2.
Determine the status of equipment and resources.

Levels of Response:
The classification of Levels in a hazardous materials incident differs from the emergency
classifications generally found in All Hazards Emergency Operations Plans. In a
HAZMAT incident the response level is based on the characteristics of the chemical
involved, the size or potential size of the spill and the threat posed to life, property and
the environment.
1.
Level I: PROBABLE EMERGENCY CONDITION
No evacuation other than from the immediate scene. This level of incident does
not pose a chemical exposure hazard to first responders in fire service using
dermal and respiratory gear. Examples of Level I incidents are: minor releases of
fuel from vehicular accidents, small releases of corrosives, and illegally discarded
chemical containers that are not in danger of releasing substances. EOC not
activated.
Warren County EOP
H-4
JAN 2004
2.
Level II: LIMITED EMERGENCY SITUATION
An incident involving a high hazard or larger area that also poses threat to life or
property may require a limited evacuation of the surrounding area. These
incidents may require outside assistance if it is necessary to stop the release.
Examples of this level may be releases of significant quantities of volatile organic
at fixed facilities or cargo tank releases in transportation. EOC partially staffed.
3.
Level III: FULL EMERGENCY SITUATION
An incident or accident involving severe potential exposure for the responders or
the general public. Mitigation may require a large-scale evacuation and the
expertise or resources of private industry and state and federal governments.
EOC fully staffed.

that the release exceeds the reportable quantity the spiller shall notify the
Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) and the Local
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).
H - 12
JAN 2004
e.
Public Warnings will be issued in accordance with procedure set forth in
(Annex C Emergency Public Information) Warren County Emergency
Operating Plan. Priorities for initiating response actions will be based on
these public protective options:
1)
2)
3)
4)
V.
EVACUATION: Evacuation can be completely effective if
accomplished prior to the arrival of the toxic cloud. (See Annex J,
Evacuation).
IN-PLACE SHELTERING: In some cases, advising people to stay
indoors and attempting to reduce airflow into a structure may be
the most effective protective action. (See Annex K, Sheltering InPlace).
INGESTION ADVISORY: Drinking water and food crops may be
contaminated by a chemical release. The public must be warned of
a threat o food and water supplies. (See Annex C, Emergency
Public Information)
SEWAGE and RUN-OFF: A Hazardous chemical release may
contaminate sewage systems or area streams and lakes. Such
contamination could create a public health threat and serious
environmental problems.
DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A.
Incident Command/Management System:
1.
Responders to a hazardous materials emergency Level II or III in Warren County
will operate using the Incident Management System (IMS). To affect the fastest
response, Warren County is served by nine Fire Protection Districts; each district
is responsible for the area located in their jurisdictions. (See Basic Plan and
Levels of Responses)
2.
In the event of a hazardous materials incident, the Fire Chief of the home venue
will be the Incident Ranking Officer. In his absence the highest ranking
department officer present will assume Incident Commander/Manager. In his
absence, command will be assumed by the IMS trained person until a qualified
fire service person arrives. Incident Commander/Manager must be qualified at
IMS level.
3.
First responders from the above agencies must be qualified at operations level.
The maximum level of personal protection available to these responders is:
Structural firefighting protective clothing in combination with positive pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). This protection is limited to a range
of chemicals listed in the North American Emergency Response Guide (NAERG)
Manual. Consequently, operations level response for Warren County will be
defensive and not compromise the safety of the responders. Also see DOT
Manual on Hazardous Material.
Warren County EOP
H - 13
JAN 2004
B.
4.
When an incident is classified a Level II or III HAZMAT emergency (beyond
local response control), The Incident Ranking Officer must immediately request
appropriate mutual aid and/or assistance at Federal and State level. (See Annex
F)
5.
In preparation for logistical support of outside assistance the Incident Ranking
Officer activates the Emergency Operating Center.
Direction and Control Procedures:
1.
The Direction and Control function is the combined capability of Incident
Management Post (IMP) and the Emergency Operating Center (EOC) in a larger
scale chemical emergency Level II or III. The Management structure linking IM
and EOC is the Incident Management System (IMS). The Incident Ranking
Officer will maintain control of the scene and coordinate all actions related to the
incident and assigns specific responsibilities to IM and the EOC.
2.
Incident Management System. The purpose of the IMS is to provide on-site, a
unified management of all participating agencies to ensure coordinated
operations, simplification of communications, performance of logistical tasks, and
to assist the Incident Management Ranking Officer with the overall management
of incident activities.
3.
Emergency Operating Center. The EOC, which is isolated by distance from the
immediate pressures of ongoing mitigation at the scene, is the focal point for
coordination of resource requirements in support of both on-site and off-site
activities.
4.
Typical for On-Site support: Coordination of local resources with HAZMAT
teams in transit to the emergency. Transmittal and follow-up of requests for
mutual aid or public works assistance. Manning resource boards to track
incoming resources and optimizing use of available communications.
5.
Typical Off-Site support: Coordination of evacuations, sheltering, public health
and social services.
6.
The EOC is a single point for collection, evaluation, display and dissemination of
information to develop current status, to aid in decision making process, to track
costs and to provide documentation for investigative follow up.
7.
The EOC is located in the Warren County Joint E-911 Communications Center
Dispatch. For a large hazardous chemical incident, the St. Charles Mobile
Management Post is available through mutual aid agreement.
8.
The Warren County EMA Director is in charge of EOC operations under direction
of the Incident Management Ranking Officer. The Incident Ranking Officer, at
his discretion, may assign IMS personnel to the EOC for liaison or functional
assignments
Warren County EOP
H - 14

D.
Communications Among Responders:
1.
During emergency operations, all departments will use their existing equipment
and procedures to communicate with their field operations. (See Annex B).
2.
Warren County Joint E-911 Communication Center will forward (relay) all
messages to the EOC.
Response Personnel Safety:
1.
To reduce the risks to first responders in the event of a hazardous material
incident, health and safety procedures have been developed that include:
a.
Medical Surveillance in the Safe Zone
b.
Establishment of Exclusion Zones
c.
Personnel Protective Equipment
2.
Medical Surveillance: An EMT (or paramedic) from either the Emergency
Medical Service or the Rescue Squad should be charged with the responsibility
for surveillance of the first response team for any indicators of the effects of toxic
exposure.
3.
Exclusion Zones: Exclusion Zones are the safety perimeters established around a
hazardous material release. These are shown schematically in the following
figure and are defined as follows:
Safe Zone
Hot Zone
Contamination
Control Zone
Incident
Commander
Hazmat
Release
Incident Command
Post
Warren County EOP
H - 15
JAN 2004
4.
E.
a.
HOT ZONE: The area of maximum hazard. All personnel entering the
hot zone must wear prescribed levels of protective equipment. A single
entry and exit checkpoint must be established at the perimeter of the hot
zone to regulate and account for the flow of personnel and equipment into
and out of the zone.
b.
CONTAMINATION CONTROL ZONE: Surrounds the hot zone and is
also a restricted area. The level of personal protection required is less
stringent than that of the hot zone. The decontamination unit (if needed) is
located here, as is the Safety Officer and immediate support and security
personnel.
c.
SAFE ZONE: The unrestricted area beyond the outer perimeter of the
contamination control zone. The management post, the HAZMAT
response team and support agencies are located here.
c.
EXCLUSION ZONES: Must be set up for any HAZMAT incident. For a
Level I incident this can be accomplished, at a minimum, with a HOT
ZONE and an informal Management Post. The NAERG and DOT
Guidebook list many chemicals where SCBA and structural protective
clothing provide some protection to permit control of a small release.
Release of chemicals, where the NAERG guide shows that the above
protective equipment is not effective, must be treated as a level II incident.
LEVEL II and LEVEL III: Incidents require establishment of the three-tiered
exclusion zones (HOT, CONTAMINATION CONTROL, SAFE). The size of
each perimeter must be determined by the nature of the material involved,
atmospheric conditions and magnitude of the incident.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
1.
Protective Equipment available to Warren County first responders is structural
firefighter’s protective clothing together with positive pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA). This combination provides only limited protection
for a number of chemicals shown in the DOT guidebook.
2.
Members of outside HAZMAT teams dispatched to enter exclusion zones of a
incident occurring in Warren County will have LEVEL A and LEVEL B personal
protective equipment at their disposal because maximum respiratory protection is
required when entering environments containing unknown substances or known
substances in unknown concentrations.
Warren County EOP
a.
LEVEL A protection will be worn when the highest level of respiratory,
skin, eye and mucous membrane protection is needed.
b.
LEVEL B protection will be selected when the highest level of respiratory
protection is needed, but with a lower level of skin and eye protection.
H - 16
JAN 2004
Level B protection is the minimum level recommended on initial site
entries until the hazards have been further identified.
F.
FIRE AND RESCUE
1.
When the Warren County Joint E-911 Communications Center Dispatch has
notified the fire department in the appropriate jurisdiction of an incident involving
a release of a hazardous materials the officer in charge of the first unit at the scene
shall implement the Management Structure of the Incident Management System.
2.
During the initial phase of the incident, the Incident Ranking Officer shall:
Warren County EOP
a.
LEVEL OF THE INCIDENT: Initiate response activities commensurate
with the severity of the incident. Resolution of a Level II or III incident in
Warren County will always require outside assistance of Mutual aid fire
department and/or Federal, State or private agencies. The rules for
notifications are summarized as follows:
b.
TRANSPORTATION INCIDENTS: It is the shipper’s responsibility to
initiate emergency clean-up and assistance response once notified of a
leak, accident or incident. The Incident Ranking Officer shall call the
emergency response telephone number listed on the shipping papers. If the
shipping papers are not, CHEMTREC shall be called with the following
information if available: Truck Line Name, Placard Number on
truck/containers and call back number for incident commander or
dispatcher. Once the shipper or manufacturer has be notified the
responsibility is then shifted to the shipper or manufacturer for on scene
assistance and clean-up.
c.
FIXED SITE FACILITY INCIDENTS: Chemical incidents occurring
within a fixed site facility are the responsibility of the facility, emergency
organization. If control is transferred, or if the incident poses a threat
outside of the facility, the Fire Department is in charge and proceeds using
IMS. The Incident Ranking Officer directs facility personnel to remove
any chemicals that may increase or catalyze the fire, cause explosions,
create toxic gas releases or cause environmental damage. For outside
assistance the Incident Ranking Officer shall notify the NATIONAL
RESPONSE CENTER (NRC). The NRC will initiate response through
the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (OSC). The OSC will determine the
federal course of action.
d.
FEDERAL ON-SCENE COORDINATOR: The OSC acts as a consultant
to the Incident Commander/Manager (Ranking Officer). The OSC,
however, is in control of and directs all Federal and State agencies on the
scene that are committed as part of the National Contingency plan.
H - 17

The following table reviews incident levels and the appropriate response
activities:
RESPONSE LEVEL I
POTENTIAL EMERGENCY CONDITION
An incident or threat of a release, which can be
controlled by first responders and does not
require evacuation of other than the structure
or immediate outdoor area. The incident is
confined to a small area and does not pose an
immediate threat to life or property.
RESPONSE:
Active-----Fire Department, Law Enforcement
Standby---EMS, Partial EOC, County Coordinator
Notify-----If required: MDNR (by spiller)
If required shipper or CHEMTREC (transportation), NRC (fixed site)

within the boundaries of their jurisdictions. Mutual aid agreements are in force
between all law enforcement agencies in the county, and with outside agencies.
2.
ON-SCENE CONTROL: Establishes scene perimeters, access control points,
and traffic control points. Provide additional resources for traffic and crowd
control.
3.
EVACUATION: The order to evacuate must come from the Chief Elected
Official. When there are time constraints, limited evacuation can be ordered by
the Incident Ranking Officer. The Law Enforcement agency designated by the
IRO or EOC is in charge and will direct the evacuation effort.
Warren County EOP
a.
Isolate affected area and permit entry only to appropriate response
personnel.
b.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (Minimum Awareness Level)
1.
(Awareness Level recommended) Assigns priorities of medical treatment on the
basis of urgency and for transporting casualties from the incident site to
appropriate medical facilities. Only members of the HAZMAT Team under
direction of the Safety Officer can remove victims from the HOT ZONE and
supervise appropriate decontamination procedures.
2.
Provides a liaison between medical personnel and the Incident
Commander/Manager (Ranking Officer). Notify area hospitals as to what
chemicals are involved, and what decontamination and exposure situations will be
necessary for proper handling and care of victims.
3.
Provides medical assistance to Incident Commander/Manager (Ranking Officer)
on signs and symptoms of chemicals involved. Monitor decontamination (from
Safe Zone) to ensure victims are properly decontaminated, before accepting
victims.
ON-GOING INCIDENT ASSESSMENT
1.
During the active period of a continuing major release, resources dispatched by
MDNR are responsible to monitor on-site quantity, concentration and movement
of spilled material. Based on their recommendations, the Incident Ranking Officer
must initiate immediate actions in terms of response personnel safety and citizen’s
protection.
2.
Decisions dealing with citizen’s protection on a large scale particularly those
dealing with residual effects such as short or long-term contamination of food and
water supplies as well as structures and soil, must rely on input from specialized
resources dispatched by State or Federal agencies.
WARNING AND EMERGENCY PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Procedures to warn the public of any highly probable and immediate danger are found in
Annex C of the Warren County Emergency Operations Plan.
K.
PUBLIC INFORMATION
Procedures to provide the public with accurate information of the progress of a
HAZMAT incident are found in Annex D of the Warren County Emergency Operations
Plan. Annex D also provides a public information program to educate citizens about
Safety and Personal Protection during an ongoing incident.
Warren County EOP
H - 20

L.
PERSONAL PROTECTION OF CITIZENS
1.
In-Place Sheltering:
a.
When the progression of a HAZMAT incident indicates that segments of
the population need to be isolated from a spreading chemical plume, inplace sheltering is the first consideration for protective action. (See Annex
K In-Place Sheltering).
b.
In-Place Sheltering is viable when:
1)
2)
3)
2.
Warren County EOP
The nature and concentration of the chemical in the plume is not
life threatening. (It may, however, be quite noxious)
The size of the release and given atmospheric conditions indicate
rapid dispersal of the chemical.
When a toxic plume approaches so rapidly that timely evacuation
cannot be carried out.
c.
In-Place Sheltering gets people out of the open into buildings with doors
and windows closed. In older buildings that have relatively high air
leakage rates, it is advisable to shut down air circulation systems (heating
systems, air conditioning systems, particularly window-mounted units). In
modern energy efficient buildings, air circulation systems tend to build up
positive pressure inside which counteracts air leakage inside, but only if
fresh air supply is shut off.
d.
Technical input to support the decision to order In-Place Sheltering comes
from the CAMEO computerized air dispersion model or the Table of
Initial Isolation given in the DOT Guidebook.
Evacuation Procedures:
a.
The Hazardous Material Incident of sufficient magnitude to trigger an
evacuation will most probably come from a transportation-related
accident. For that reason, Warren County is not subdivided into preassigned Risk Zones. The area at risk must be determined from the site of
the accident, taking into account the toxicity and magnitude of the release
and atmospheric conditions. Inputs from the DOT Guidebook or CAMEO
are invaluable.
b.
Evacuation procedures are found in Annex J of the Warren County
Emergency Operations Plan. Annex J also contains procedures to guide
returning evacuees once the evacuated area is declared safe.
H - 21

N.
Other Public Protection Strategies: See Basic Plan of the Warren County EOP
and Annex J
a.
RELOCATION: Some hazardous materials incidents may contaminate
the soil or water of an area and pose a chronic threat to people living there.
It may be necessary for people to move out of the area for a substantial
period of time until the area is decontaminated or until natural weathering
or decay reduces the hazard.
b.
WATER SUPPLY PROTECTION: Surface and ground water supplies
can be contaminated by a hazardous chemical release. Local Public
Works Officials must provide quick identification of a threat to the
drinking water supply and notification to the public. Officials should also
notify the public of alternate sources for safe drinking water.
c.
SEWAGE SYSTEM PROTECTION: A hazardous chemical entering the
sewage system can cause serious and long-term damage to a treatment
plant. It may be necessary to divert sewage, creating another public health
threat and environmental problems.
HUMAN SERVICES:
1.
The Emergency Management Agency coordinates the various aspects of human
services. Services on a small scale can be provided by local volunteer
organizations. Larger scale requirements must be met by Disaster Assistance
Agencies through their state or regional organizations (American Red Cross,
Salvation Army, and Missouri Division of Family Support.)
2.
Annex M of the Warren County Emergency Operations Plan covers procedures
for Human Services in general terms.
HEALTH AND MEDICAL SERVICES:
The Warren County Public Health Department and the Warren County Sanitarian will
respond to the incident if requested, or to the EOC if activated.
1.
Will assist in contacting the appropriate State and Federal Agencies as needed.
2.
To test or provide for testing of water, air, soil or food as applicable.
3.
Provide local representation with state and Federal agencies dealing with
containment of hazardous material.

HAZMAT RESPONSE ORGANIZATION CHART
The organization charts shown in the following, represent typical management structures using the
National Incident Management System (NIMS). Basic structures are shown for a small-scale incident,
which does not require activation of the Emergency Operating Center EOC and for a large-scale
complex tactical situation.
The organization charts shown are not prescribed rigid chains of command. The size of the
organizational structure activated will be determined by the dimensions of the particular incident. The
responsibility to develop the appropriate structure rests with the Incident Commander or the on-scene
qualified Ranking Officer.

Medium. Manual switching of process cylinder poses a potential risk for a release.
b.
CONSEQUENCES IF PEOPLE ARE EXPOSED
Low. Although chlorine gas may be fatal if inhaled, the relatively small amounts of
chlorine released in a closed building poses a low risk outside of the facilities. The
release will dissipate within 40 to 45 minutes.
In-place sheltering is recommended for the nursing home and school. Speed in notifying
endangered population is essential.

CREDIBLE WORST CASE ASSUMPTION
Quantity released from active supply tanks over a period of 10 minutes. For the Fertilizer
plant (108) liquid Ammonia is dispensed through tank bottom discharge. A rupture in the
discharge manifold will cause a continuous two-phase flow (mostly liquid Ammonia at
the source) at the release rate shown.
The refrigeration systems in plant 113 is charged with gaseous Ammonia withdrawn
through a discharge manifold on top of the supply tanks. A rupture in the discharge
manifolds releases gaseous Ammonia initially at a high rate until internal tank pressures
are reduced to atmospheric pressure.
No worst case analysis was made for a pipeline incident.

The vulnerable zones predicted for the two facilities will spread over
sparsely populated areas with some light industry.
Facility 113
Total population within vulnerable zone is approximately 300. The
Intersection of I-70 and Hwy A-B with adjacent large truck plaza and
automobile dealership is at the fringe of the perimeter. There are
approximately 10 single story retail businesses, two small manufacturing
plants and an agricultural elevator-warehouse within the zone.

Facility 107-108
High. Release is in the open. Workers in the area will be exposed
to concentrations above the IDLH. Dissipation of the tanks
contents may take several hours.
Facilities 113
Low. Although Ammonia gas may be fatal if inhaled, the
relatively small amounts of Ammonia released in a closed
building poses a low risk outside of the facilities. The initial
release will be fueled by continuing boiling of Ammonia (at a
lower rate) in the supply tank until the contents are exhausted or
repairs are made.
CONSEQUENCES FOR PROPERTY
Facility 105
No damage to other surrounding property other than repairable
damage to the pipeline.
Facility 107-108
Repairable damage to facility equipment.

ANNEX I
PUBLIC WORKS
I.
PURPOSE
The ability of local government to protect life and property in Warren County following
or during a disaster could well depend on how fast all utilities are restored or how soon
debris can be removed from the roads. This Annex will organize local public works
resources in such a manner that they will be able to perform the many tasks that are
essential to an effective emergency (disaster) response.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
Warren County is subject to many types of hazards (See Basic Plan,
Situation and Assumptions). In this Annex, public works refers to the
duties and responsibilities assigned to Warren County Roads Department.
The Warren County Roads Department could become involved in any of
these and could be asked to perform any of a large number of assignments.
2.
The Warren County Roads and Bridge Department is responsible for the
construction and maintenance of all county-owned roads and bridges in its
road system. Municipalities in the county are responsible for the
construction and maintenance of all roads, streets and bridges in their
jurisdiction. Missouri Department of Transportation is responsible for the
construction and maintenance of the interstate road system, all state
highways/roads, bridges and overpasses in their road system.
3.
The residents of Warren County and its municipalities are served by
several different public utility departments, utility districts and private
utility companies. See Appendix 3 to this Annex for a list of these
departments, districts and companies.
4.
Private resources are available in the county to assist in Public Works activities.
5.
Outside resources are available to assist, should all local resources become
committed.
6.
Public Works”, for the purpose of this Plan, refers to electric, natural gas,
water, streets/roads, bridges, sewer, sanitation, and telephone service.
Warren County EOP
I-1
JAN 2004
B.
III.
Assumptions
1.
Should a major disaster occur within Warren County, the County Roads
Department will not have adequate resources to deal with all potential
problems immediately, and will have to assign tasks on a priority basis.
2.
Local private resources should be adequate to supplement the public
resources.
3.
Outside assistance (State and Federal) will respond when called upon, but
their ability to react may be limited.
4.
When a disaster occurs, all public works equipment and personnel will be
available for response.
5.
State and Federal assistance will respond when called upon, but their
ability to respond may be delayed or limited.

ANNEX J
EVACUATION
I.
PURPOSE
The movement of people and property from the areas "at risk" to a safer place is a concept as
old as mankind. This Annex will give Warren County the guidelines under which they can
accomplish such an evacuation. This function must be applicable to small localized situations
as well as for a whole-scale countywide movement should the need arise.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
B.
Situation:
1.
Warren County is subject to several hazards (See Basic Plan, Situation and
Assumptions) that could threaten the lives and property of its citizens and require
evacuation operations. Such hazards would be flooding, dam failure, and
hazardous materials incidents, pipeline rupture.
2.
Warren County has a very good transportation network that will facilitate any
evacuation of the general population (See Appendix 8 to this Annex).
3.
There are several special facilities, such as nursing homes, that will require
special consideration in this Annex.
4.
In the event of a serious hazardous materials incident in Warren County, most
likely it will be a transportation-related accident. A hazardous material incident
would mostly likely occur on Interstate 70 or along the Norfolk Southern
Railroad. Highway 47 and 94 could also be the site of a potential hazardous
material incident, but to a lesser extent due to a lighter volume of truck traffic.
Assumptions:
1.
In almost every emergency situation requiring evacuation, a number of people
will evacuate on their own volition.
2.
It can be anticipated that the majority of persons will receive and follow the
evacuation instructions. However, a certain portion of the population (l) will not
get the information, (2) will not understand it or (3) purposely not follow
directions.
3.
In all cases, an adequate number of county and/or city emergency personnel will
be available to accomplish the tasks necessary to complete the evacuation.
Warren County EOP
J-1
JAN 2004
III.
4.
Panic by evacuees should not be a problem as long as the Public Information
Officer (PIO) furnishes adequate information.
5.
Evacuation will be primarily by family groups using privately-owned vehicles
with transportation being provided for those persons without automobiles.
6.
Looting of evacuated areas is possible, but it should be contained by the Sheriff
Department.
7.
Assistance, in planning for, and in conducting actual evacuations, will be
provided by higher levels of government.
8.
Evacuations within the municipalities will be the responsibility of the affected
municipality. Warren County will provide assistance upon request.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General
1.
The ultimate responsibility for ordering an evacuation rests with local
government; hence, it should only be implemented by the County Commission or
a designated successor.
2.
During any evacuation, close coordination will be required with the following
functions:
a.
Reception & Care -- The evacuees must have some place to go even if it is
in another county; whether it is a full-fledged evacuation or a limited
evacuation in scope.
b.
Law Enforcement -- Traffic control along movement routes and security
for evacuated areas are an absolute necessity.
c.
Resource & Supply -- Transportation for persons without automobiles,
food, clothing, and fuel will be required.
d.
Other support agencies -- Constant interface will be required with the
State and Federal government and private agencies such as the American
Red Cross.
3.
The duration of the evacuation will be determined by the County Commission
based on technical information furnished by Federal, State and local agencies.
4.
Certain day-to-day governmental activities will be curtailed during evacuations.
The degree to which this is necessary will, of course, depend upon the amount of
local resources that are committed.
Warren County EOP
J-2
JAN 2004
B.
5.
Transportation will be provided for patients/residents of various institutions
requiring special care or attention (i.e., nursing homes, schools, etc.). Appendix 2
to this Annex lists these facilities.
6.
During the evacuation, staging areas and pickup points will be identified to
provide transportation for those people without private automobiles or other
means (See Appendix 3 to this Annex.)
7.
Assistance in planning for and in conducting actual evacuations will be provided
by higher levels of government.
8.
Evacuations within the municipalities will be the responsibility of the affected
municipality. Warren County will provide assistance upon request.
Tasks to be accomplished by Operating Time Frame
1.
Warren County EOP
Mitigation
a.
Identify the known risk areas to be evacuated and the rationale for their
evacuation (See Appendices to this Annex).
b.
Identify population groups or facilities requiring special assistance in an
evacuation and the methods to evacuate them (such as nursing homes,
childcare centers, eldercare centers, senior citizens and persons who are
visually, mobility impaired, and medically dependent,).
c.
Identify and make agreements with private organizations that can facilitate
evacuations (i.e., service stations, garages, fuel distributors, bus
companies, etc.). This should be done in conjunction with the head of the
Resource and Supply section (See Annex G).
d.
Coordinate with the Public Information Officer (PIO) to develop public
information packets to detail evacuation routes, what evacuees should take
with them, where they should go, etc. (See Annex C).
e.
Develop contingency plans that provide for potential impediments to
evacuation (physical barrier, time, lack of transportation resources, etc.).
f.
Develop plans to deal with vehicles with mechanical problems.
g.
Coordinate all evacuation plans with the State Emergency Management
Agency.
J-3
JAN 2004
2.
3.
Preparedness
a.
Analyze all developing emergencies for potential evacuation situations to
include number of evacuees.
b.
Alert reception and care of possible evacuation and obtain location of
available reception centers.
c.
Identify necessary evacuation routes and check the status and condition of
each one (coordinate with Law Enforcement).
d.
If appropriate, contact road service groups (wreckers, service stations,
etc.).
e.
Locate transportation for all persons in threatened area.
f.
Through the Direction and Control section, alert all other emergency
sections that an evacuation may be required.
g.
Check with law enforcement to provide for security and parking in the
reception area.
h.
Inform the public of the potential evacuation to include the nature of the
problem, the movement route to use, and the reception area to go to.
i.
If necessary, make plans to evacuate government and critical workers.
Response
a.
Order evacuation, when necessary.
b.
Notify all appropriate agencies to include State and Federal.
c.
Monitor the following actions to insure the evacuation functions smoothly:
1)
2)
3)
Warren County EOP
Traffic flow

Security for evacuated area
d.
Broadcast public information continuously during the evacuation to
minimize confusion.
e.
Coordinate with and furnish information on the situation to the other
emergency services.
f.
Assist in the transfer of necessary supplies and personnel to reception
areas, especially if these areas are outside the affected jurisdiction.
J-4
JAN 2004
4.
IV.
g.
As the evacuation winds down, begin planning for the return.
h.
Designate rest areas along movement routes where evacuees can obtain
fuel, water, medical aid, vehicle maintenance, information, and comfort
facilities. (This would apply to evacuations that require a long distance of
travel away from the affected area.)
i.
Provide for transportation for essential workers who might have to work in
or near the hazardous areas.
j.
Make provisions for the evacuation of handicapped, elderly, and
institutionalized persons.
Recovery:
a.
Initiate return when conditions will allow this to be done safely. This will
include advising evacuees on what to do to reenter the evacuated area (i.e.,
what return routes to use, instructing public to boil water, procedures for
turning on gas, etc.).
b.
Monitor all return activities until the return is completed.
c.
Prepare and present after action reports to governing authorities.
ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
A.
Organization:
The organizational chart for the evacuation function is shown in Appendix 1 to this
Annex.
B.
Assignment of Responsibilities:
1.
In most cases, the direction and control section will make all major decisions
pertaining to evacuation. The County Commissioners will normally issue the
order for evacuation. In the event of a fast developing, life-threatening situation,
fire officials and law enforcement officials can order an evacuation.
2.
In Warren County the responding fire protection district will be the first
responders, thus in charge initially (See Appendix 4 to Basic Plan).
3.
Traffic control and site security will be the responsibility of the Law Enforcement
section (See Annex E). The Sheriff’s Department will control these activities in
the County while the Police Departments will do the same in the municipalities.
The Sheriff’s Department will also be responsible for the relocation of prisoners
from the County Jail to adjacent county jail facilities, if necessary.
Warren County EOP
J-5
JAN 2004
V.
VI.
In some instances, when time is of the utmost importance, the chief law
enforcement or fire official at the scene can initiate an evacuation. (An example
here is a hazardous materials incident.)
5.
Public transportation resources will be the responsibility of the Resource and
Supply Coordinator (See Annex G, Resource and Supply).
6.
The dissemination of information and instructions to inform and motivate
residents to comply with evacuation plans will be the responsibility of the
Emergency Public Information section (See Annex C, Emergency Public
Information).
7.
Other sections will provide support as necessary to meet the needs of the
emergency.
DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A.
All evacuation operations will be coordinated through the EOC of the affected
jurisdiction(s), which will serve as the source of all Direction and Control.
B.
Should the order come to evacuate the entire county, operations will be controlled from a
nearby safe location.
CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT

The line of succession for Evacuation Section: (See Basic Plan)
1.
Emergency Management Director
2.
Deputy Emergency Management
3.
County Commission
B.
If citizens are evacuated to a neighboring jurisdiction, a local official from the evacuated
area will be designated as liaison between the hazard area and reception area. The
evacuees will be subject to the laws of the reception area for the duration of their stay.
C.
Preservation of records will be a major priority during a major evacuation. Resources
will be allocated to move vital government records as necessary.
ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS
A.
Each jurisdiction is responsible for the procurement of its own essential supplies needed
for evacuation operations, through normal procurement channels.
Warren County EOP
J-6
JAN 2004
B.
Requisition of privately owned property will be in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 44, RSMo.
C.
The county may elect to use county-owned vehicles to supplement the evacuation of
citizens without transportation of their own. Formal arrangements for outside resources
should be made. Transportation resources available for mass evacuation may include the
following types of vehicles:
1.
School buses
2.
Church buses
3.
Privately-owned buses or vans
4.
County vehicles

STAGING AREAS FOR EVACUATION
A.
Staging areas are locations that may be used in the event an evacuation has been ordered
which would require evacuees to relocate to a safe area, possibly outside their
community. Those evacuees who do not have transportation would go to these staging
areas where transportation will be provided to move them to a designated safe area.
B.
In addition, staging areas can be used as pick-up and drop-off points for resources and
supplies into the affected area.
C.
The locations selected for staging areas are sites that are suitable for:
D.
1.
People who need transportation
2.
Assembling equipment and supplies.
The following facilities represent centrally located, easily accessible, collection points for county
and city residents. Which sites to be used would be determined by the situation and prior
agreement between the school districts and local government.
1.
Washington School District (Marthasville Elementary School), Marthasville, MO 63357

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EVACUATION
I.
PURPOSE
Provide for the orderly and coordinated evacuation of those people in Warren County whose
health and/or lives are endangered as a result of accidental exposure to hazardous materials
(HAZMAT). Such exposure could result from either a mishap involving the transport of
HAZMAT or the accidental release of such materials from a fixed facility or terrorism.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
Warren County is exposed daily to hazardous materials being transported across its
highways, pipelines that transverse the county, and also from the storage of these
materials in containment areas.
B.
III.
Assumptions:
1.
In 1988, statewide hazardous materials incidents were reported in the following
categories: Fixed facility/storage - 51%; railroad - 2%; pipeline - 2% and other
making up the remaining 30%.
2.
Hazardous materials incidents may occur without any other emergencies being
involved, such as an accidental release resulting from the structural failure of a
container or a leaking valve.
3.
Such incidents could pose a significant threat to the health and safety of response
personnel, as well as others in the immediate area.
4.
The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) recognizes the responsibility
regarding public health and safety, as well as the implementation and exercise of
the Warren County Hazardous Materials Emergency Operations Plan.
EVACUATION RESPONSE PROCEDURE
A.
If no evacuation is required:
1.
Warren County EOP
Secure the area. Since law enforcement personnel are able to respond quickly,
they should cordon off the affected area.
J - 16
JAN 2004
B.
2.
Dispatch Hazardous Materials Team. Normally this would be part of the local
fire department or a task force composed of members of several services within
local government (e.g., members of the State's Radiological Response Team.
3.
Alert other Departments/Agencies. Other local governmental units such as fire,
water, sewer, and street departments should be informed of the situation. Also,
notify Missouri's Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the State Emergency
Management Agency as required, and CHEMTREC if necessary.
If evacuation is required and an order is made to evacuate:
1.
Designate the area to be evacuated. This information should be as clear and
concise as possible in order to aid those who are assisting in the evacuation, as
well as for those being evacuated.
2.
Establish perimeter security. The purpose is to limit, or prohibit, entry into the
affected area.
3.
Activate an emergency shelter plan, if necessary. Many evacuees will stay with
friends or neighbors for short periods of time; if duration is longer, the affected
community should be relocated and it would become necessary to prepare
evacuation facilities/centers for long-term occupancy.
4.
Notify affected persons. All persons within affected area must be contacted. This
is best accomplished on a door-to-door basis, use of loudspeakers, or by
government-manned telephones, depending upon the situation. Records should
be kept of location of homes/buildings visited, times and dates, and results of
attempted visits. (See Appendix 9 to this Annex.)
5.
Return of affected persons. Once the area is declared safe, a public information
program should so inform evacuees when to return, what to expect upon return
(i.e., how to turn utilities back on, etc.), and how to request additional
information. Also, local government should warn the citizens of other related
hazards so as to alert them to changes in their environment.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES
RADIOLOGICAL ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS
I.
PURPOSE:
This Annex will serve as a guide and checklist for local authorities in handling a peacetime
radiological emergency until qualified radiation safety specialists arrive at the accident scene.
II.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
When an incident involving radioactive material occurs, the following emergency actions and
precautions should be taken:
A.
Take any steps necessary to protect human life. Emergency medical procedures should
not be denied just because radioactive material may be involved. Safeguard property
insofar as possible.
B.
Call the State Emergency Management Agency at the following numbers:
C.
1.
Daytime:
(573) 526-9100
2.
Nighttime: (573) 751-2747 Pager Duty Officer
Be prepared to give as much of the following information as possible.
1.
Name, location and phone number of person making report.
2.
Name of possessor of radioactive material in question, (e.g., licensee, consignee,
consignor, carrier, etc.)
3.
Description of incident:

e.
Extent of injuries to personnel
J - 18
JAN 2004
f.
Have injured and/or exposed persons been given treatment: Transported to
a Hospital? Which one?
g.
Possible hazard to public
D.
Other agencies already notified.
E.
Keep the public as far from the scene of the incident as reasonably possible. Prevent
souvenir hunting and handling of debris.
F.
Isolate for further examination those persons who may have had contact with the
radioactive material. Obtain names and addresses of those involved.
G.
Remove moderately injured persons from the possibly contaminated area unless
medically contra-indicated. Hold them at a transfer point for first aid. If serious injury
has occurred, demanding more than first aid measures, the patient should be sent at once
to the nearest emergency room for medical attention. Do not deny emergency medical
service because of fear of contamination. Be sure to advise ambulance personnel and
hospital of the radiological nature of the incident, including the amount and isotope
involved, if possible. Medical first aid is directed primarily at restoration of breathing,
control of hemorrhage, splinting for fractures, and prevention of shock and control of
pain. These are carried out for an exposed person in the same basic fashion as for nonexposed individuals. Radiological first aid consists of cleansing the skin of obvious dirt1
(possibly contamination) and, if feasible, carefully removing the outer garments2 and
shoes of the patient and wrapping him mummy fashion in a blanket, sheet, canvas, or
large coat. By this measure, any remaining radioactive contamination is contained and, if
the wrapping is carefully done, the victim can be moved readily with little likelihood of
spreading contamination.
H.
If incidents involve fire, fight fires from up-wind whenever possible. Treat them as fires
involving toxic chemicals. Keep out of smoke, fumes, or dust resulting from the incident.
Segregate clothing and tools used at the fire until they can be surveyed for radioactive
contamination before being returned to normal use. Do not handle suspected material
until it has been monitored and released by qualified technical experts.
I.
If possible, save washing and wipes; treat them as radioactive waste.
J.
Outer garments and shoes must be saved for survey.
K.
In the event of a vehicle accident involving radioactive material, detour all traffic around
the accident scene. If this is not possible, move the vehicle or vehicles involved the
shortest distance necessary to clear the right-of-way. If radioactive material is spilled,
prevent the passage of vehicles and people through the area until it has been surveyed. If
the right-of-way must be cleared before the Nuclear Emergency Team arrives, wash
spillage to the shoulders of the right-of-way with a minimum dispersal of wash water. If a
large amount of material is spilled build a cofferdam to hold runoff.
Warren County EOP
J - 19
JAN 2004
L.
When in doubt that the radioactive material is still confined to its container, assume that
the immediate incident area is contaminated and that anyone and any thing in the area
MAY BE contaminated. Take special care to minimize unnecessary personal contact with
the outer clothing of individuals, the surface of the ground, vegetation, and the surface of
things within or removed from the incident area.
M.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the incident area. Do not use food or drinking water that
may have been in contact with material from the incident area until it has been declared
safe.
N.
Do not try to do too much beyond emergency action prior to the arrival of a qualified
radiation safety expert.
O.
In the case of a nuclear weapons incident, take steps to insure the security as well as the
safety of any classified information or components or radioactive material in the area
until the arrival of Department of Defense personnel.

FLOOD EVACUATION
I.
PURPOSE
Provide for the orderly and coordinated evacuation of people from those areas of Warren County
which are vulnerable to slow developing flooding, and flash flooding.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
B.
III.
Situation:
1.
Warren County is vulnerable to a wide range of atmospheric conditions that
produce weather that is variable and subject to rapid change.
2.
Flooding has historically posed problems for many parts of Warren County and
several of its communities.
3.
Warren County is vulnerable to low land flooding resulting from periods of highdensity rains.
4.
Warren County is also vulnerable to flooding resulting from dam failure or an
uncontrolled release of water from the many dams located throughout the county.
Assumptions:
1.
Floods are generally caused by rainstorms lasting several days and moving
northeastward across the area and occur frequently from January to May.
2.
Floods may occur as two distinct types of flooding or may occur singly or in
combination. The types are commonly referred to as backwater and headwater
flooding.
3.
Local authorities will take immediate steps to warn and evacuate citizens,
alleviate suffering, protect life and property and commit available resources
before requesting assistance from the next higher level of government.
NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM
1.
The National Flood Insurance Program is in effect in Warren County.
2.
The unincorporated areas of Warren County and several of the communities have flood
maps available. These detailed maps delineate the flood areas and thus show where
Warren County EOP
J - 21
JAN 2004
evacuation would be likely should unfavorable weather conditions persist. (See
Attachment A to this Appendix.)
3.
IV.
Due to the quantity and size of flood maps available for Warren County, they are not
reproduced in this Plan. Copies of the County Flood Maps are available in the County
Planning and Zoning Office, while the various city maps are available in the respective
community's City Hall. (See Attachment A, Appendix 5 to Annex J).
INITIAL EVACUATION RESPONSE
A.
Receive warning:
The National Weather Service, through a monitoring and warning system, is able to give
advance notice of gradual flooding hours and even days before it results in serious loss of
life and property.
B.
1.
The National Weather Service also may issue a Flash Flood Watch, which means
heavy rains may result in flash flooding in a specified area. Residents should be
alert and prepared for the possibility of a flood emergency, which may require
immediate action.
2.
The National Weather Service also may issue a Flash Flood Warning, which
means flash flooding is occurring or is imminent in a specified area. Residents
should move to safe ground immediately.
Notify public:
It is the joint responsibility of the National Weather Service and/or the local government
entity to issue a warning via radio, television, etc. Early warning, if possible, would
enable those in flood hazard areas to move or safeguard their property, thus simplifying
evacuation should it become eminent.
V.
EVACUATION
A.
Designate the flood hazards area to be evacuated. Use the flood hazard maps for street
description and to determine areas to be evacuated.
B.
Establish a perimeter security. The purpose is to limit access to looters and sightseers,
but to allow egress by victims.
C.
Establish shelters areas/relief services for victims. It must be decided when to open such
facilities and where they should be located. Location of shelter areas and assistance in
the form of food and clothing could be supplied by the Ministerial Alliance, local Red
Cross, etc.
Warren County EOP
J - 22
JAN 2004
D.
Notify affected persons. If early warning is not effective all remaining persons within the
designated flood area must be contacted. This is best accomplished on a door-to-door
basis, loudspeakers on patrol cars, or government-manned telephones. A method to
record location of visits, times, dates, and results of attempted visits should be devised
(See Appendix 8 to this Annex).
E.
Return of flood victims. Once the flood waters recede, a public information program
should so inform the evacuees when to return, what to expect upon return (i.e., how to
turn the utilities back on, how to purify water, etc.) and of services being offered by local
government, such as pumping basements and debris removal. Also, local government
would warn of other related hazards so persons would be alert to changes in their
environment.

Appendix 6 To Annex J
DAM FAILURE
I.
DEFINITION
Dam Failure - downstream flooding due to the partial or complete collapse of any impoundment.
II.
III.
SITUATION
A.
A large number of earthen dams exist in Warren County, many being susceptible to
breaching and overtopping.
B.
Dam failure is associated with intense rainfall and prolonged flood conditions. However,
dam breaks may also occur during dry periods as a result of progressive erosion of an
embankment caused by seepage leaks. Dam failure may also be caused by earthquake.
C.
The greatest threat from dam breaks is to areas immediately downstream. The seriously
affected population would be located in the potential downstream inundation area as
identified by the Corps of Engineers or State agencies.
DAM INVENTORY
A.
In 1980 an inventory of Non-Federal Dams in Missouri was compiled by the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Land Survey, under a
contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District. A total of 114
earthen dams were identified in Warren County. Of these dams, there are 28 high hazard
dams, 46 significant hazard and 40 low hazard. The hazard rating is based on the contents
of the downstream environment zone.
B.
The term "dam," is defined as an artificial barrier which impounds or diverts water and:
1.
Is more than 6 feet high and stores 50 acre-feet or more, or,
2.
Are 25 feet or more high and stores more than 15 acre-feet.
Excluded are:
1.
Levees used to prevent water from reaching certain areas.
2.
Sewage lagoon levees.
Warren County EOP
J - 24
JAN 2004
Attachment A to Appendix 6 to Annex J
DAM FAILURE CLASSIFICATIONS
The National Inventory of Dam uses the letters H, S, and L, which stand for High, Significant, and Low,
respectively. The meaning of these classifications is as follows:
H (High)- Loss of one or more human lives expected; economic, environmental and lifeline losses
expected S (Significant)- No loss of life expected; economic, environmental, and lifeline losses expected
L (Low)- No loss of life expected; probability of economic, environmental and lifeline losses low, and
generally limited to owner
The Missouri Dam and Reservoir Safety Council uses the numbers 1, 2, and 3, to designate Class 1,
Class 2 and Class 3 downstream environmental zones, respectively. These are defined as follows:
Class 1- Contains ten or more permanent dwellings or any public building
Class 2- Contains one to nine permanent dwellings, or one or more campgrounds with permanent water,
sewer, and electrical services or one or more industrial buildings
Class 3- All dams not included as class 1 or class 2
As you can see, the State uses a very different system to classify dams according to the downstream
hazard. We have attempted to assign numerical ratings to unregulated dams based on the original
inventory classification and our knowledge of the area. However, these ratings are best estimates and
may not be accurate in every case. Also, for dams under 35 feet, we generally do not keep track of
downstream development that has occurred in the 23 years that have elapsed since the original inventory
was completed. Thus, many of the classifications shown for unregulated dams will have changed in the
intervening years. Unfortunately, we do not have sufficient staffing to keep our records up-to-date for
these dams.

ANNEX K
IN-PLACE SHELTERING
I.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Annex is to enhance the ability of Warren County and its municipalities to
protect their residents in or near their homes when an incident has occurred with little or no
warning and/or it would not be safe for residents to leave their current locations.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
B.
III.
Situation:
1.
In-place shelter will be used in a situation requiring protection for residents from
the effects of a hazardous materials incident, tornado, earthquake or a terrorist
attack whenever evacuation is not the safe or prudent action to take at that time.
2.
In some disaster situations, such as earthquakes and tornadoes, local government
has a very limited role in providing protection to its residents. In cases such as
these, proper warning and immediate sheltering instructions are essential.
3.
Public shelters have been identified in Annex L for public use as a mass care
shelter in an emergency/disaster situation.
Assumptions:
1.
Most homes have a several day supply of food on hand.
2.
Persons will shelter in place when requested to do so.
3.
Those persons with specific personal requirements (i.e., medications, food,
diapers, etc.) will have a several day supply on hand.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General
1.
Warren County EOP
The two options for protecting the population are evacuation and sheltering In
Place. Warren County Officials will implement one or the other or possibly both
options based in the information available at the time of the incident or disaster
situation.
K-1
JAN 2004
B.
a.
Evacuation will be considered based on the conditions at the selected
destination and the risk of exposure to the disaster agent/chemical while in
route. Evacuation operations are discussed in Annex J.
b.
Sheltering In-Place will depend on the relative potential disaster agents
provided by the available residential and commercial structures in the
community.
2.
If people are displaced from their homes by the disaster situation, Temporary
housing and mass care shelters must be provided. Mass Care & Reception is
discussed in Annex L
3.
On scene responders will initiate In-Place Sheltering if the situation warrants.
Coordination with the County Commissioners or chief elected officials of the area
affected will be made as time permits.
4.
Special consideration facility populations must be identified. In Place Sheltering
may be the only option available for these facilities. A list of the special
consideration facilities is located in Annex J Appendix 2.
5.
Advisories to the affected populations will be made by the most expedient means
available, i.e., Emergency Alert System (EAS), Telephone, Television/Cable, etc.
Actions to be taken by Operating Time Frames
1.
2.
Mitigation
a.
Work with local officials and emergency responders to develop in- place
shelter education plan.
b.
Develop emergency public information materials for Distribution to the
public.
c.

ALL-HAZARD IN-PLACE SHELTER GUIDANCE
The following information should be formulated into public information brochures and distributed to all
residents prior to an emergency situation requiring in-place shelter.
Warning for these hazards should be accomplished in accordance with Annex B.
Information should be provided to the local media for broadcast during an emergency and a public
awareness program should be developed to encourage residents to keep supplies on hand and develop a
family disaster plan.
TORNADO
If a tornado WARNING is issued and time does not permit residents to travel to public shelters, the best
protection during a tornado is to quickly go to the lowest level in the building. The following protective
actions should be relayed to the public:
During a tornado the safest place to be in the basement under something sturdy.
If there is no basement, seek shelter in the middle of the building in a small interior room, such
as a closet or bathroom.
Stay away from outside doors and windows.
Listen to the radio for further instructions.
Remain in this shelter until the all clear is given from the local authorities or radio station.
EARTHQUAKE
(See Appendix 8 To The Basic Plan For Additional Information)
Since earthquakes happen with no warning, residents should be prepared to take in-place shelter in their
homes for the first 72 hours following a seismic event. These in-place protective actions should be
relayed to the public:
When the shaking starts, stay where you are. If indoors stay inside. If outdoors stay outside.
If indoors, get under a heavy piece of furniture such as a table or desk. Stay away from the
windows or other objects that might fall and hit you.
If outdoors stay outside, away from buildings, power lines and trees.
Listen to the radio for further instructions.
Warren County EOP
K-6
JAN 2004
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENT
If evacuation cannot be accomplished prior to the formation/arrival of a toxic cloud, advising residents
to stay indoors and reduce the air flow into these buildings may be the most effective protective action.
The following protective action instructions should be relayed to the public:
To reduce the possibility of toxic vapors entering your home:
Close all open windows and doors.
Turn off all ventilations systems, including furnaces, air conditioners, fans and vents.
Seal gaps under doors with plastic and tape or place wet towels under doors.
Seal gaps around air conditioning units, bathroom and kitchen vents, stove exhaust
vents and dryer vents with tape and plastic.
Close all fireplace dampers.
Close as many internal doors as possible.
Remain in protected, interior areas of the building or home until you are instructed to do
otherwise.
Listen to the radio or television for further instructions.

HEALTH & MEDICAL SERVICES
I.
PURPOSE
This Annex was developed to insure that Warren County has the ability to provide needed
medical services following a disaster of any type. A prompt and coordinated response by this
section will greatly reduce the number of casualties and ease suffering, the major task for any
organization responding to a disaster situation. NOTE: The Missouri Department of Health and
Senior Services, in conjunction with local jurisdictions throughout the state, is developing an
emergency response plan for that department. It is not the intent for this Annex to conflict with
material it may contain. All, or appropriate sections, of the County Health Department Plan
should be incorporated into this LEOP upon its completion.
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
B.
Situation:
1.
Although Warren County has no hospitals, the surrounding counties of St.
Charles, Franklin Gasconade, Lincoln and St. Louis County have hospitals
and health care agencies.
2.
Public health for Warren County is the responsibility of the Warren
County Public Health Department, located in Warrenton. They deal with
problems such as communicable disease, environmental sanitation
problems, contamination of food and water, and other health matters.
3.
Ambulance service for Warren County is provided by three (3) ambulance
districts. (See Appendix 3 to this Annex).
4.
The St. Louis Metro Area hospitals are tied together in time of emergency by the
Hospital Emergency Radio Network.
5.
Should the local organization become overtaxed or rendered inoperable, resources
are available from the state and adjacent counties to help alleviate the situation.
Assumptions:
1.
A major disaster striking the Warren County area will create medical problems
beyond the normal day-to-day capabilities of the medical system.

Uniformed Guards, information clerks, counselors, interviewers, telephone
communicators, admissions clerk, general supervisor, ID personnel, orderlies, personal
effects custodian, embalming supervisor, embalmers, secretaries, inventory clerk,
distribution clerk,) etc.
D.
The morgue site will be used for the storage, identification, sanitation, and preservation if
desired, as well as the distribution point for release of the dead to their next of kin or their
agent.
E.
Refrigeration units will be utilized as necessary.
F.
Bodies admitted to the morgue will be logged and necessary information gathered and
recorded about each body.
G.
Personal effects will be recorded and placed in a secure area.
H.
Should embalming be necessary the Coroner will rely on the MFDA Disaster Response
Team / D-MORT to organize the operations, equipment, supplies, and personnel needed.
I.
An area will be designated for the press, away from the morgue site.
J.
Counselors such as members of the clergy will be present in waiting areas to assist
persons visiting the morgue.
IDENTIFICATION OF THE DEAD:
The Coroner will arrange for the necessary equipment and staff to accomplish this task. The
members of the MFDA Disaster Response Team will be at his/her disposal to be of assistance
when needed.
IX.
NOTIFICATION OF NEXT OF KIN:
The Coroner with the assistance of the MFDA Disaster Response Team will determine the most
practical method to be utilized in contacting the next of kin. Every effort will be made to lessen
the extreme psychological impact on the families of those dead. The nature and scope of the
disaster will determine what methods will be used.
X.
COUNSELING OF SURVIVORS:
The Coroner and the MFDA Disaster Response Team will keep listings of local clergy
and/or responsible persons trained in counseling with grieving survivors. These
personnel will be asked to report to the waiting area of the morgue site to assist families
that visit the morgue site. Phone counselors will also assist persons calling the morgue
Warren County EOP
M - 15
JAN 2004
site. Efforts will be made to keep the families of the dead posted as to what is taking
place and information will be released to them as best possible.
XI.
XII.
RELEASE OF THE DEAD:
A.
Once the body has been positively identified, the next of kin will be contacted
with this confirmation. At this point the Coroner or MFDA Disaster Response
Team personnel will coordinate the release of the body to the next of kin or their
agent. All efforts will be made to cooperate with the receiving agent or family.
However; the nature and scope of the disaster may require policies that may
appear unfair or delayed. These policies may be necessary for the smooth flow of
operations at the morgue site. All policies will be made or approved by the
Coroner before implemented.
B.
In situations where there are UNIDENTIFIED dead, the Coroner will make the
decision about their disposition. Mass burial may be necessary and location of
burial sites will be determined at the time. It is suggested however, that cremation
not be utilized as later identification and exhumation may be practical and
necessary. Records will be kept of burial locations and body tag number will be
interred with the body to make later efforts of identification easier.
TERMINATION PROCEDURES:
After the disaster’s clean up operations are completed, efforts will be made to return donated
equipment and supplies. Cleaning and sanitizing of morgue site will be necessary. Records
compiled during the operations will be arranged in some type of systematic order and efforts will
be made to preserve and store these records for future use if necessary.
XIII.
MORTUARY RESOURCES
Resource lists pertaining to mortuary services will be compiled by the Warren County Coroner.
This information will be furnished to the Warren County Emergency Management Director
who will incorporate it into the Warren County Emergency Resource Book.

Appendix 5 of Annex M
LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A.
B.
The Warren County Public Health Emergency Plan (LPHEP) outlines the actions to be taken by
the Local Public Health Agency (LPHA), in conjunction with local government officials and
cooperating private and volunteer organizations. A local public health emergency can best be
described as an event, which threatens the safety and well being of a number of people in an
area, i.e. bio-terrorism incident, anthrax, smallpox, pandemic influenza, etc. To work towards a
safer environment the plan has been developed to:
1.
Reduce the vulnerability of citizens to any disasters that creates a local public health
emergency.
2.
Establish capabilities for protecting citizens from the effects of a local public health
emergency.
3.
Respond effectively to the actual occurrence of disasters, and;
4.
Provide for recovery in the aftermath of any local public health emergency.
The Warren County LPHEP is a multi-hazard, functional plan that has three components:
1.
A Basic Plan that serves as an overview of the LPHAs approach to a local public health
emergency.
2.
Annexes that address specific activities critical to emergency response and recovery, and;
3.
Appendices which support each annex and contain technical information, details and
methods for use in emergency operations.
C.
In the Basic Plan you will find the Primary & support Responsibilities for the local
health department as well as a Hazard Analysis for quick references. Some of the
Annexes & Appendices not normally found in an Emergency Plan are: Homeland
Security Advisory System, DHSS Activities Corresponding to the Homeland Security
Threat Levels, Personnel Specialized in Bio-terrorism Training, Mass Patient Care,
Mass Fatality Management, Nuclear & Chemical Incident, Food & Water Borne
Outbreaks and a major enclosure concerning the Smallpox Response Plan.
D.
The importance of understanding the contents of the plan cannot be underestimated.
All individuals who may have any involvement with the plan must be briefed and
understand their roles in it’s implementation. Staff members of the LHPA will be
responsible for maintenance, training, updating and developing exercises to
improve the plan.
The entire LPHEP can be found in the LPHA or with the Emergency Management Director.

ANNEX N
TERRORISM
I.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Annex is to establish a unified approach for emergency response agencies of
Warren County to respond to and recover from a threat or act of terrorism. Also this Annex
establishes a terrorism response system that prescribes responsibilities and actions required to
respond to and recover from a terrorist event
II.
SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A.
Situation:
1.
2.
Warren County has potential targets for terrorist activities. These may include,
but are not limited to:
a.
Federal, state, county and municipal government facilities and structures.
b.
Military installations.
c.
HAZMAT Facilities.
d.
Medical facilities.
e.
Religious facilities.
f.
Businesses and manufacturing centers.
g.
Airports, railroads, highways and navigable rivers.
h.
Pipelines; power plants; public utilities; landmarks; and large public
gatherings.
i.
Agriculture.
Terrorism takes many forms: bombings, arson, infrastructure attacks (on water,
electric, gas, or telecommunications systems), mass shootings, cyberspace failure
or disruption, transportation attacks (hijacking, bombing or sabotage).
a.
Warren County EOP
Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Any weapon designed or intended
to cause death or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination,
N-1
JAN 2004
or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals, or their precursors; any weapon
involving a disease organism; or any weapon designed to release radiation
or radioactivity at a level dangerous to human life (18 USC 2332a). The
USC (18 USC 921) also includes a destructive device, with certain
exceptions, to mean “any explosive, incendiary, or poison gas, bomb,
grenade, or rocket, missile, mine, or a device similar to the above that will
expel a projectile by explosive or other propellant”.
Warren County EOP
b.
Chemical Agent. A chemical substance intended to kill, seriously injure,
or incapacitate people through physiological effects. Hazardous chemicals,
including industrial chemicals and agents, can be introduced via aerosol
devices (including munitions, sprayers, or aerosol generators), breaking
containers, or covert dissemination. A chemical agent attack might release
a chemical warfare agent (such as a nerve or blister agent) or an industrial
chemical that may have serious consequences. Whether an infectious
agent or a hazardous chemical causes an outbreak may not be obvious
early in an investigation; however, most chemical attacks are localized,
and their effects become evident within a few minutes. Different chemical
agents can be persistent or non-persistent. Persistent agents remain in the
affected area for hours, days, or weeks. Non-persistent agents have high
evaporation rates, are lighter than air, and disperse rapidly; they therefore
lose ability to cause casualties after a few minutes (although they may
persist longer in small unventilated areas).
c.
Biological Agents. Living organisms or materials derived from them that
cause disease; harm humans, animals, or plants; or deteriorate materials.
Recognition of a biological hazard can occur by: identifying it as a
credible threat; discovering bio-terrorism evidence (devices, agents,
clandestine labs); diagnosing a disease caused by an agent identified as a
possible bio-terrorism agent; or gathering and interpreting public health
surveillance data. People exposed to a pathogen such as anthrax or
smallpox may not know they have been exposed, and those infected or
subsequently infected may not feel sick for some time. Infectious diseases
typically progress with a delay between exposure and onset of illness - the
incubation period. The incubation period may range from several hours to
a few weeks, depending on the exposure and pathogen. Unlike acute
incidents involving explosives or some hazardous chemicals, direct patient
care providers and the public health communities are likely to first detect a
biological attack on civilians. Terrorists also could use biological agents to
affect agricultural commodities (agro-terrorism). These agents include
wheat rust or viruses that could devastate the local or even national
economy.
d.
Radiological/Nuclear. High-energy particles or gamma rays emitted by an
atom undergoing radioactive decay. Emitted particles can be charged
alpha or beta particles, or neutral neutrons, or gamma rays. The difficulty
of responding to a nuclear or radiological incident is compounded by the
nature of radiation itself. Also, involvement of radioactive materials in an
N-2
JAN 2004
explosion may or may not be obvious; depending on what explosive
device was used. The presence of a radiation hazard is difficult to
ascertain unless the responders have the proper detection equipment and
the training to use it. Most of the many detection devices available are
designed to detect specific types and levels of radiation - they are not
appropriate for measuring or ruling out the presence of all possible
radiological hazards. Terrorists may use the following delivery methods:
1)
2)
3)
4.
e.
Explosives. Conventional explosive devices or improvised bombs used to
cause massive local destruction or to disperse chemical, biological, or
radiological agents. Improvised explosive devices are categorized as
explosive or incendiary - using high or low filler explosive materials to
explode and/or cause fires. Bombs and firebombs are inexpensive and
easily constructed. They are not technologically sophisticated. Of all
weapons, these are the easiest to obtain and use. The components are
readily available, as are detailed instructions for constructing these
devices. They are the likeliest terrorist weapons.
f.
Cyber Terrorism. “Malicious conduct in cyberspace to commit or threaten
to commit acts dangerous to human life, or against a nation’s critical
infrastructures in order to intimidate or coerce a government or civilian
population in furtherance of political or social objectives. ”
Homeland Security Response Teams (HSRT): SEMA Homeland Security
Response Teams Map (See Appendix 1 to this Annex) shows the locations of
existing or proposed Homeland Security Response Teams for the State of
Missouri. Several of these teams include hazardous materials response teams with
enhanced capabilities for response to WMD incidents, including incidents
involving nuclear or radiological materials, biological and chemical agents. The
following provides a general overview of their locations, number of teams and
capabilities:
a.
Warren County EOP
An Improvised Nuclear Device (IND) is any explosive device
designed to cause a nuclear yield. Either uranium or plutonium
isotopes can fuel these devices, depending on the trigger. While
“weapons-grade” material increases the efficiency of a device,
materials of less than weapons grade can still be used.
A Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) is any explosive device
that spreads radioactive material when detonated. A RDD includes
an improvised explosive device that could be used by placing it in
close proximity to radioactive material. A RDD also includes
devices identified as “dirty bombs”.
A simple RDD spreads radiological material non-explosively (for
example, medical isotopes or waste).
There are currently twenty-eight (28) Homeland Security Response Teams
located throughout the State of Missouri. (See Appendix 1 to Annex N)
N-3
JAN 2004
5.
B.
b.
Many of the existing teams are continuing to develop their heavy and light
search and rescue capabilities, acquire latest technology detection
equipment, expand decontamination capability and address logistical
support requirements and issues.
c.
For all terrorist response operations, the Unified Command System will be
used for Direction and Control.
Request for Homeland Security Response Teams (HSRT):
a.
In order to deal with a terrorist event, a network of resources must already
be in place (personnel, equipment and supplies). The current situation will
determine the type of resources needed and techniques to be employed. A
rural county may have fewer trained personnel and equipment compared
to an urban area.
b.
Homeland Security Response Teams (HSRT) is an asset of the State of
Missouri. These teams will be mobilized and deployed by SEMA to
support local jurisdiction response and recovery operations.
c.
Local jurisdictions must request support from SEMA. Call the SEMA
Duty Officer at (573) 751-2748 (Day/Night) to report or request
assistance.
d.
Warren County has neither a Homeland Security Response Team (HSRT)
or a Forward Regional Response Team (FRRT) and will require support
in responding to the terrorist incident. It is the local jurisdiction's
responsibility to contact SEMA and request support.
Assumptions:
1.
Warren County recognizes the responsibility for public health and safety, and the
need of a plan to set forth guidelines to deal with terrorism, and the need to
exercise the procedures, policies, and guidelines set forth in this Annex.
2.
Proper implementation of this Annex can reduce the effects a Terrorist attack and
limit related exposure to the public.
3.
No single agency at the local, State, or Federal level possesses the authority
and/or the expertise to act unilaterally on the many difficult issues that may arise
in response to a threat or act of terrorism, particularly if WMD is involved.
4.
Should a terrorist incident be identified, Warren County could be acting alone,
pending mobilization and deployment of other local, State and Federal assets.
5.
An act of terrorism involving WMD in Warren County could immediately
overwhelm the local response capabilities.
Warren County EOP
N-4
JAN 2004
III.
6.
Counter-terrorism efforts, including intelligence gathering and appropriate
response training, may reduce some incident potential, but incidents can occur
with little or no warning.
7.
If appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not readily available, entry
into the contaminated area (hot zone) should be delayed until the arrival of trained
and equipped emergency response personnel. Responders must also be aware of
secondary devices targeting first responders.
8.
The policies set forth in this Annex, and any and all plans developed by or for
Warren County to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, or recover from any terrorist
event, have been coordinated to eliminate dual tasking of resources and identify
the proper command and control functions.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A.
General:
1.
Presidential Decision Directive 39 (PDD-39) was signed in May 1995, shortly
after the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing. PDD-39 establishes policy
to reduce the United States’ vulnerability to terrorism, deter and respond to
terrorism, and strengthen capabilities to detect, prevent, defeat, and manage the
consequences of terrorism. This directive is particularly important for planning
purposes - it specifies how to manage response to and recovery from a terrorist
incident.
2.
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5) was signed on February
28, 2003, calling for creation of a National Response Plan (NRP) to “integrate
Federal Government domestic prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery
plans into one all-discipline, all-hazard plan” under authority of the Secretary of
Homeland Security. Under the National Response Plan (NRP), a National
Incident Management System (NIMS) is to be developed to provide a consistent
nationwide framework for standardizing incident management practices and
procedures. This ensures that Federal, State, and local governments can work
effectively, efficiently, and cooperatively to prepare for, respond to, and recover
from domestic incidents-regardless of cause, size, or complexity.
3.
The Federal government has primary responsibility to prevent, preempt, and
terminate threats or acts of terrorism, and to apprehend and prosecute the
perpetrators. Federal, State and local authorities will coordinate terrorism
response and recovery efforts using the National Incident Management System
(NIMS). The initial response to a terrorist incident is primarily a local law
enforcement effort with the FBI assigned as the Lead Federal Agency (LFA)
responsible for coordinating the Federal response. The FBI will assign a Special
Agent or member of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in the role of liaison to
coordinate with the incident commander or unified command in an incident
command post. The initial response to a terrorist incident identifies, acquires, and
Warren County EOP
N-5
JAN 2004
plans use of resources needed to anticipate, prevent, and/or resolve a threat or act
of terrorism. Following the initial response to the terrorist incident, recovery
efforts protect public health and safety, restore essential government services, and
provide emergency relief to governments, businesses, and individuals affected by
the terrorist incident. In a terrorist incident, FEMA is the lead Federal Agency
responsible for the recovery phase.
C.
4.
Upon authorization by SEMA, the Homeland Security Response Team (HSRT)
will be able to respond to any terrorism incident that will occur in their region and
will be funded/ supplied through State and Federal aid/grants. This includes the
necessary equipment as well as the training to fulfill any need of the terrorist
incident. See Appendix 1 for locations of HSRT.
5.
Upon authorization by SEMA, the Forward Regional Response Team (FRRT)
will also be able to respond to terrorism incidents, but their resources will be less
than those of an HSRT. They will also be funded/ supplied by State and Federal
aid/grants. They will also provide support to the HSRT in terrorism incidents
when needed.
Primary Objectives in Response to a Terrorist Act:
1.
Protect the lives and safety of the citizens and first responders.
2.
Isolate, contain, and/or limit the spread of any cyber, nuclear, biological,
chemical, incendiary, or explosive device.
3.
Identify the type of agent or devices used.
4.
Identify and establish control zones for suspected agent used.
5.
Identify appropriate decontamination procedure and/or treatment.
6.
Ensure that responders have appropriate equipment and personal protective
equipment (PPE).
7.
Notify emergency personnel, including medical facilities of the danger and
anticipated casualties.
8.
Notify appropriate State and Federal agencies.
9.
Provide accurate and timely public information.
10.
Preserve as much evidence as possible to aid investigations.
11.
Protect critical infrastructure.

ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
A.
Organization:
A response organization for a terrorism incident will be under the Direction and Control
of the County Commissioners or a designated representative. The response will be
conducted from the EOC. The primary responders for terrorism normally lie with local
law enforcements, fire, and County Health and Medical. All other departments are
considered to be support. Each jurisdiction should prepare an SOG and functional
checklist for response to a terrorism incident as defined in the Basic Plan (P&S Chart).
All participating agencies must comply with training requirements set-forth by SEMA. In
addition, an up-to-date list of emergency response personnel will be maintained and
available. The following provides a breakdown by functional areas:
B.
Assignment of Responsibilities:
EOC Function: (See Basic Plan and appropriate Annex’s for additional Information).
1.
Warren County EOP
The Federal Government is responsible to determine the Nation’s threat level. See
Appendix 2 to Annex N for HOMELAND SECURITY TERRORIST WARNING
SYSTEM CHART. However, it is up to the local jurisdiction to determine their
appropriate threat level based upon their current situation.
N-8
JAN 2004
C.
2.
If notification of a terrorist incident is received, the Emergency Management
Director/Coordinator will immediately contact the chief elected official and
primary and support agencies as identified in the P & S Charts.
3.
If notification of an incident is received by other than the Emergency
Management Office, the individual receiving the notification will contact the
Emergency Management Office and/or the chief elected official immediately.
4.
The Warren County Emergency Management Office is responsible to contact
SEMA Staff Duty Officer and inform them of their current situation and threat.
Other local departments will follow their respective SOGs for notifications.
5.
Activate the EOC at either the primary or alternate location. The EOC serves as
the clearing house for local jurisdiction to collect, discuss, and disseminate
information in regard to a particular event occurring within their jurisdiction. The
EOC is responsible to maintain contact with appropriate State and Federal
Agencies throughout the incident period.
6.
Review EOP and determine if predestinated staging areas, mobilizations and
reception centers are far enough away from the actual scene so that safety is
guaranteed.
7.
If necessary, a Joint Operation Center (JOC) will be established by the Lead
Federal Agency (LFA) and will be under the operational control of the Federal On
Scene Commander (OSC). The JOC is the focal point and is responsible for
coordinating requests from the State. The On-Scene Commander may request that
a representative from the Warren County be assigned to the JOC.
Emergency Management:
1.
Direction and Control will originate from the EOC.
2.
Ensure the alternate EOCs are operationally ready in the event that the primary
EOC is not available.

HOMELAND SECURITY ADVISORY SYSTEM
Because of the potential for future terrorist-related incidents, a national security alert system was
developed to disseminate information regarding the risk of terrorist acts to Federal, State, and local
governments and to the American people. This system, known as the Homeland Security Advisory
System (HSAS), is based on five color-coded threat conditions, which are summarized in the bellow
table.
HOMELAND SECURITY ADVISORY SYSTEM COLOR CODES
RED: Signifies severe risk of attack and may require the prepositioning of especially trained teams, closing public and government
facilities and monitoring transportation systems.
ORANGE: Signifies a high risk of attack, meaning the government
should coordinate necessary security efforts with armed forces or law
enforcement agencies and take additional precautions at public events.
YELLOW: Signifies an elevated condition meaning there is a
significant risk of attack. Increased surveillance of critical locations
and implementing some emergency response plans are called for
BLUE: Signifies a general risk, and agencies are asked to review and
update emergency response procedures
GREEN: Signifies a low risk of terrorist attack.
NOTE: The County Commissioners will determine the appropriate Threat Level based on the current
situation and recommendations from SEMA.

Appendix 3 to Annex N
HOMELAND SECURITY RESPONSE TEAMS
AND
FORWARD REGIONAL RESPONSE TEAMS
A.
Homeland Security and Forward Regional Response Teams (HSRT and FRRT) were developed
and trained locally. SEMA is the coordinating agency for the Department of Justice Equipment
Program, which provides grant funds to the State to purchase protective equipment,
decontamination equipment, detection equipment and communications equipment for designated
Fire / HAZMAT, EMS and Law Enforcement agencies statewide. The program is designed to
assist communities’ development of a local WMD response capability identified in the three-year
Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. Participation in the program is based upon several
criteria including existing HAZMAT team capability, desire and willingness to participate. The
state currently has 28 teams. Any future expansion will be based upon the results of the
statewide Homeland Security Assessment and Strategy Program.
B.
The HSRT is a more robust team, which generally enjoys some capabilities beyond what would
normally be found in a FRRT. For example, some of our HSRTs have an urban search and
rescue capability and will, in most cases, have been involved in the grant program for a longer
period of time than a typical FRRT. HSRTs typically have a more sophisticated detection
capability and greater decontamination capacity than a FRRT (see Attachment 1). Of the 28 total
HSRTs and FRRTs in the state, the vast majority are HSRTs, see map in Appendix 1.
C.
HSRTs and FRRTs are designed to operate on a regional basis and the aim is to have at least one
team no more than 50 miles from any location in the state. Teams will be directed to respond to
a terrorist or suspected terrorist incident by SEMA and the cost of deploying the team or teams
will be absorbed by the state, provided the Governor declares a state of emergency. All of these
teams are also capable of responding to a Hazardous Material or HAZMAT incident through the
fire mutual aid provisions of Revised Missouri Statutes, Chapter 44. In the event that a
HAZMAT response is provided as described above, the funding support would be in accordance
with existing mutual aid agreements.
D.
Training levels, equipment and technology are constantly being improved to add an even more
robust capability to respond to a terrorist incident or accident involving hazardous materials.
Additional information regarding availability of training, status or management of grants, general
equipment lists common to all teams is available through the Operations Branch of SEMA or
through the SEMA web page.
