*** County, Nebraska Local Emergency Operations Plan *** COUNTY LEOP *** COUNTY, NEBRASKA LOCAL EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN Dated _________, 2020 This Plan complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 (P. L. 88-352) in that it was developed and actions described will be carried out without discrimination against anyone due to color, race, national origin, religion, sex, age, or handicap. This Plan meets the requirements of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Prepared by the *** County Emergency Management Agency with the assistance of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, Lincoln, Nebraska https://nema.nebraska.gov/preparedness/leop 2020 *** COUNTY LEOP RECORD OF CHANGES CHANGE DATE OF DATE CHANGE MADE BY NUMBER CHANGE ENTERED (SIGNATURE) 2020 *** COUNTY LEOP *** COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN PREFACE This *** County Emergency Operations Plan establishes the standardized policies, plans, guidelines and procedures that will allow all our emergency resources, governmental and non-governmental, to collectively manage and coordinate the preparation, prevention, response, recovery and mitigation functions effectively and in a consistent manner, as a team, when disaster strikes. In content and in format, the Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) is consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and with the current nationwide concept embodied in the Integrated Emergency Management System (IEMS). This Plan provides for performing specific functions across the full spectrum of hazards. Most responsibilities, tasks and capabilities apply across a broad range of hazards. By treating them in this manner we show an integrated approach to disaster management. Unique aspects of certain hazards are addressed separately, where necessary. Therefore, this is truly a multi-hazard functional plan. The Plan is organized in a manner that enhances this functional approach by incorporating the following components: 1. Basic Plan: serves as an overview of the County's approach to emergency management, assigns responsibilities, and defines broad policies, plans, and procedures. 2. Annexes: twelve functional Annexes that address the task areas deemed critical to emergency response and recovery. 3. Appendices: these sections support various Annexes and generally address unique hazard specific requirements or actions. 4. Tabs: where necessary, procedures or guidelines for carrying out specific tasks defined in Annexes or Appendices are contained in Tabs. 5. Attachments: Other supporting information is attached where needed (maps, lists, checklists, etc.). i 2020 *** COUNTY LEOP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY County Basic Emergency Operations Plan Executive Summary Purpose: It is the responsibility of all elected/appointed officials to protect citizens’ lives and public and private property from the effects of hazards and disasters. This Plan describes the roles and responsibilities of the elected and appointed officials, state and federal agencies in support of the County’s efforts to prevent, prepare for, respond to, recover from and mitigate against hazards and disasters. Authority: The primary legislation directing the elected officials’ responsibilities and actions during an emergency or disaster and for establishing a local emergency management agency is: RRS Sections 81-829.36 to 81-829.75, Nebraska Emergency Management Act of 1996, as amended, Cum. Supp. 2002. County, tribal, city and village officials accept this LEOP plan by resolution; generally the County has the primary responsibilities of implementation. Scope: Implementation of this all-hazards plan will reduce or prevent the loss of life, damage to property and aid in the community economic and infrastructure recovery. Officials within the County are aware of the possibilities of an emergency or disaster and of their responsibilities in the execution of this Plan and will fulfill those responsibilities as needed. All responding elected and appointed officials, departments, agencies and jurisdictions will follow the National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocols when conducting either individual or joint disaster response and recovery activities. Concept of Operations: The responsibility for the safety and welfare of the communities rests with the respective governments. The chief elected officials of the local governments must individually, and where possible jointly, provide policy, leadership, strategic guidance for the emergency management agency, provide resources during emergency preparedness, response, recovery activities, give trained responders the authority to accomplish the incident objectives. The Emergency Manager (EM) will establish and implement programs to enhance the communities’ awareness of, and capabilities to prevent, protect, respond, recover and mitigate disasters. During a disaster the EM will act as an operations manager/advisor/resource to local governments. Local forces, supplemented by trained auxiliaries and personnel and resources available from neighboring jurisdictions or the State, will conduct emergency operations. First responders will provide the Incident Command to address life safety, stabilize the incident and conserve property. This Plan, approved by the elected officials, has twelve primary functional areas of responsibility (see Annexes) that define the additional roles, responsibilities and tasks necessary to ensure public safety and welfare. This Plan is developed and tested by a rigorous training and exercise program. ii 2020 *** COUNTY LEOP R E S O L U T I O N WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors/Commissioners of *** County, Nebraska, pursuant to Nebraska Statute, is vested with the authority of administering the affairs of *** County, Nebraska; and WHEREAS, it has been determined that a *** County Local Emergency Operations Plan has been developed in order to provide for a coordinated response to a disaster or emergency in *** County, the City of ________ and other cities and villages in *** County; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors/Commissioners of *** County, deems it advisable and in the best interest of *** County to approve said Local Emergency Operations Plan; WHEREAS, the acceptance of this 2020 Local Emergency Operations Plan supersedes all previous approved *** County Local Emergency Operations Plans; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors/Commissioners of *** County, Nebraska, that the *** County Local Emergency Operations Plan be, and hereby is, approved.

  • NWS Stormready Supporter Broadcast Media Partner
    NWS StormReady Supporter Broadcast Media Partner Greater Tri-State StormReady Advisory Board NWS La Crosse Broadcast media play a vital role in supporting the National Weather Service (NWS) mission of saving life and property and enhancing our local and national economies. Broadcasters provide a crucial link by communicating critical information on extreme weather events through the Emergency Alert System and by providing safety awareness to the general public. Media outlets often establish severe weather safety plans and actively participate in and promote severe weather safety awareness activities. They act in a complementary role within the StormReady recognition program but have different guidelines and needs. A broadcaster (cable, radio or television) that promotes the principles of the StormReady program and completes an application with recognized broadcast station guidelines may be eligible to be designated as a StormReady Supporter Station. A StormReady Supporter Station represents a higher level of preparedness and mitigation awareness for extreme weather-related events. They promote collaboration and communication with their local National Weather Service offices and emergency management officials. A StormReady Station takes an active role in NWS weather safety awareness weeks and education enhancing the NWS capacity of saving lives and protecting property when hazardous weather strikes. Local NWS participation in the StormReady Supporter “Station” designation is voluntary and based on the bylaws of national, regional and local

VAN DEN BROEKE Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska (Manuscript received 21 March 2016, in final form 5 December 2016) ABSTRACT Few studies show how university students perceive and respond to tornado warnings. Lacking in the lit- erature are investigations of what influences perceptions of tornado risk among this population and how these perceptions may influence actions. Through an online survey of 640 undergraduates enrolled at a large university in Nebraska, significant relationships were found between student demographics, perceptions, and response actions. Tornado mythology relevant to the local city influenced perceptions so that students felt the city was less at risk than surrounding rural land. Confirming risk before sheltering remained popular, with some students choosing to never seek shelter during a warning.

  • Gina Hardin, Coordinator, Des Moines County Emergency Management at 753-8206 Or Donna Dubberke, Chair, Tri-State Stormready Advisory Board at 563-391-6729, Ext
    News for Immediate Release Date: August 11, 2015 For more information contact: Gina Hardin, Coordinator, Des Moines County Emergency Management at 753-8206 or Donna Dubberke, Chair, Tri-State StormReady Advisory Board at 563-391-6729, Ext. 726 Des Moines County Now StormReady Certified Until 2018 Burlington, Iowa. The National Weather Service recently notified the Des Moines County Emergency Management Agency that its StormReady recognition has been renewed for another three years. The NWS original recognized the county in July of 2006 and due to the county’s on-going efforts the NWS has extended the recognition until 2018. According to Donna Dubberke, Chairperson of the Tri-State StormReady Advisory Board, “Achieving and maintaining StormReady recognition is a significant accomplishment, and demonstrates a long-term commitment to preparing for all kinds of severe weather and saving lives, both locally and as a part of the complete warning process. The numerous improvements since the original recognition demonstrate your exceptional commitment to the safety of residents, visitors, and neighbors of Des Moines County. In particular, the Des Moines County SKYWARN group has become a cornerstone of the community-NWS partnership during severe weather and one of the top programs of its kind in the region”. Des Moines County SKYWARN was organized in 2005 and is currently celebrating its 10th year with a Volunteer Recognition Ceremony to be held later this month. The team is composed of 38 individuals who volunteer their time, energy, and personal equipment and resources to the county by storm spotting during potential and actual tornado and severe thunderstorm events that may impact the county and surrounding areas.
