<br />H. <br /> <br />Ver 1.10 <br />08/03 <br /> <br />Activities by Phases of Emergency Management <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />This plan addresses emergency actions that are conducted during all four <br />phases of emergency management. <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Mitigation <br /> <br />We will conduct mitigation activities as an integral part of our <br />emergency management program. Mitigation is intended to <br />eliminate hazards, reduce the probability of hazards causing an <br />emergency situation, or lessen the consequences of unavoidable <br />hazards. Mitigation should be a pre-disaster activity, although <br />mitigation may also occur in the aftermath of an emergency <br />situation with the intent of avoiding repetition of the situation. Our <br />mitigation program is outlined in Annex P, Mitigation. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Preparedness <br /> <br />We will conduct preparedness activities to develop the reponse <br />capabilities needed in the event of an emergency. Among the <br />preparedness activities included in our emergency management <br />program are: <br /> <br />1. <br />2. <br /> <br />Providing emergency equipment and facilities. <br />Emergency planning, including maintaining this plan, its <br />annexes, and appropriate SOP's. <br />Conducting or arranging appropriate training for emergency <br />responders, emergency management personnel, other local <br />officials and volunteer groups who assist us during <br />emergencies. <br />Conducting periodic drills and exercises to test our plans and <br />training. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />c. <br /> <br />Response <br /> <br />We will respond to emergency situations effectively and efficiently. <br />The focus of most of this plan and its annexes is on planning for the <br />response to emergencies. Response operations are intended to <br />resolve an emergency situation while minimizing casualties and <br />property damage. Response activities include warning, emergency <br />medical services, firefighting, law enforcement operations, <br />evacuation, shelter and mass care, emergency public information, <br />search and rescue, as well as other associated functions. <br /> <br />20 <br />
