Future Business for Discussion
a. Introduction and Overview of new Emergency Operations Plan Template for Small Communities
(Rachel Saxby/DHS&EM)
Dvorak introduced Rachel Saxby who will be giving a briefing on the Emergency Operations Template for
small communities.
Rachel Saxby showed rough drafts that she put together to show what the plan would look like.The idea behind
it was we want something that people can actually act upon during a disaster because if something happens in a
small community the leader that you thought would be there may not there so we want something that can be
pulled off the shelf and use to respond to an incident. It will guide them through the first part of the disaster and
get them to the appropriate help. It's a template and we have farms for people to fill out so we can fill in this
template and the concept is that you provide us the information in the template and we get that information back
from the small community and then we put it into this format and put it in the actual binder. It's a plastic flip
chart. If someone wants to know about sheltering and evacuation they can just flip to sheltering and evacuation.
It will have the information needed,and it will be different for every community in the state.We will also have
a copy in our EOC and if there's a disaster and we're talking to the local community so if everyone was gone to
a convention or something we'll be able to walk them through it and make sure that all the steps were taken.
This is going to be the first community we're going to test this on so we don't know what it's going to morph
into but we do know our intent is to be flexible and do whatever the communities ask for. Everything should be
identified ahead of time before a disaster hits so there's not any confusion on who is to do what.The flip charts
that we can change if a person changes or the incident command should be different and such. Let them know if
a page needs to be changed and they can make changes on a page by page basis and send to you to insert. It's
simple. It will be on the DHS&EM wetbpage.
b. Distribution for Review Kodiak Area Point of Dispensing(POD)Plan,(Duane Dvorak/Ann Ellingson)
Dvorak stated he tried to send this out by email and he doesn't know if people had time to read. We
received one comment from Tom Trosvig that's in the packet and we have no objections making that
change. Anne Ellingson did a lot of this work along with various other agencies. It has been reviewed a
couple of times and have taken their feedback and worked it into this final review draft. It was decided
this item will be held over to allow the members to read before forwarding on.
c. Kodiak Island Borough Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (Dave Conrad/Bud Cassidy)
Dvorak stated this is a holdover from last month which is a plan that we've had adopted by FEMA
over five years ago and they have a five year renewal requirement and having an active FEMA
approved plan makes communities eligible for certain grant funds at the Federal and State level.
LEPC Mecting Minutes Page 2 of 3 September 6,2012
Dave Conrad said really the deadline for this plan is when are we going to have another disaster. It was
unfortunate this plan lapsed but there was some expectation of some grant money to fund this that
didn't come through. We took it on in house. The plan is to jump back on it and we have two entities
within the plan that we haven't talked with yet, one being the City of Kodiak and the other is Karluk.
The primarily need to get back with the villages to find out if they have indeed revised what their
identified facilities for what hazards are present and if things have changed a lot in the villages. A lot
of what has been identified has been upgraded because of all the improvements on facilities in the
villages lately. DHS said we can pair this down quite a bit so there will be a lot of edits to this. The
goal is to have it submitted or at least the bulk of it submitted sometime in October to begin the review
and then if we have to the annexes can follow. Hopefully, by the beginning of the year we will have
this in place.
d. Update on the HAZUS Review—Phase II update(Bud Cassidy)
Bud Cassidy stated we are working with FEMA and also the State Division of Geological and Geophysical
Survey to come up with a realistic feel of the kinds of impacts that would occur. It is a pretty robust program
that is going to give us a good picture of damages that will likely occur from earthquakes and tsunamis.
Preliminary numbers are showing there's probably going to be more damage from an earthquake at Narrow
Cape which is problematic because it's a lot closer and we won't have as much warning should a wave be
generated. It is to give the first responders good information on how to plan for this event,how to respond,and
how to recover from the event. We are getting close to this being done.
e. Other items of interest for the good of the order(Open Reports)
There were none.
