SITUATION 1.1. Introduction 1.2. The Threats 1.3. Assumptions National Oil Spill Contingency Plan NEMA 1/12 Vol II Section 3.6.3 page6 September 2000 NEMA, MNS Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans 1.0 SITUATION A disaster-emergency condition exists, when an event attributable directly or solely, either to the operation of the forces of nature or human intervention or to both, generates the extensive damage and destruction to life or property; is accompanied by extensive social and physical disruption and overwhelms the resources of the affected community or country to provide a timely and effective response to meet the needs of the situation. The emergency aspect of such an event requires immediate attention to alleviate threats to life, pain, distress and anxiety. 1.1 Introduction The National Emergency Management Agency, Ministry of National Security, National Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans replaces the Emergency Plan and Instructions for Disaster Situations which has been produced by the Agency from the early 1990’s. This National Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans is more comprehensive than its predecessor. It includes: q Instructions for different Levels of Emergencies q Hazard Specific Contingency Plans q Mitigation and Recovery operating procedures q Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis procedures q Disaster Relief Guidelines and Procedures and q An expanded Emergency Operation Centre section. The procedures were developed from the experience of the agency and the experience of other countries in the Caribbean region. There are some incomplete sections in the Plan e.g. Search and Rescue, Evacuation, as work is ongoing in these areas. From October 2000 to January 2001 NEMA asked the authorities in the Distribution List to review the draft document. This ensured NEMA’s partners and collaborators had input into its development and that the Plan would be functional. NEMA acknowledges the work of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA). Many of the Plan’s sections were generated from templates produced by CDERA. This agency’s work in the region has greatly assisted in the sharing of disaster National Oil Spill Contingency Plan NEMA 1/12 Vol II Section 3.6.3 page7 September 2000 NEMA, MNS Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans experiences of other Caribbean nations, strengthening the planning process. Since its revision, the agency has had the opportunity to test Sections of this Plan. These have proved effective when applied in local emergencies/threats. Revisions have also been made and will continue as lessons are learned and applied. The National Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans is being widely dispersed to all partners and collaborators. It is expected to guide stakeholders and promote the development of and integration with other disaster response plans nationally. The Agency urges all to continue to regularly test these plans towards the effective disaster management in Trinidad and Tobago. Director April 2001 National Emergency Management Agency National Oil Spill Contingency Plan NEMA 1/12 Vol II Section 3.6.3 page8 September 2000 NEMA, MNS Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans 1.2 THE THREATS This section of the Plan identifies the major hazards to which the country is exposed. Generally, hazards fall into two (2) broad categories – Natural and Man-made. Historical details of such events or potential events are included in the Hazard specific Contingency Plans (Section 3.6). The list shown below represents a typical classification. NATURAL HAZARDS MAN-MADE HAZARDS Earthquakes Aircraft crashes Severe weather Marine emergencies Thunderstorms Forest Fires Hurricanes Multi-unit house fires Floods Industrial Accidents Drought Explosions, spills, fires, Landslides gas leaks, BLEVE, UVCE, Volcanic (mud) Eruptions radioactive emissions Tsunamis (Tidal Waves) Hazardous Materials Health & Biological Building Failure Epidemics Traffic Accidents Epizootics Dam Breaks Other Agricultural Mass Casualty events Poisonings, intoxication Environmental Air/water soil pollution Direct responsibility for some of the natural and man-made hazards sits with government ministries, the statutory authorities e.g. Airport and Port, and the private sector. This plan does not attempt to duplicate the efforts of these agencies. Rather it attempts to maintain consistency with these established emergency plans. NEMA is presently undertaking hazard assessments and vulnerability analyses for seismic, slope instability (landslide) and flood events. National Oil Spill Contingency Plan NEMA 1/12 Vol II Section 3.6.3 page9 September 2000 NEMA, MNS Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans 1.3 ASSUMPTIONS The National Disaster/Emergency Standard Operating Procedures and Contingency Plans assumes that: 1. A disaster or emergency may occur with little or no warning and may cause a large number of casualties with widespread damage and disruption. 2. Government Agencies and the private sector may need to respond on short notice to provide timely and effective assistance to the State. 3. Government agencies and the private sector will support the overall Concept of Operations of the Plan and will carry out their functional responsibilities.
