As necessary, the Emergency Management Coordinator, on behalf of the Director, is hereby authorized to activate the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in order to direct and control County emergency operations. Activation of the County’s EOC shall constitute implementation of the Plan. As directed by the Plan, the Director of Emergency Management is responsible for command and control, and direction of recovery efforts following any disaster that confronts the County. In the absence of the Director, the Deputy Director assumes the responsibility. In the absence of both the Director, and Deputy Director, this responsibility is assumed by the Coordinator. In accordance with the duties and responsibilities assigned in the Plan, each designated county department or agency shall: 1. Become familiar with and maintain the part(s) of the Plan for which it is responsible; 2. Conduct an on-going training program and participate in exercises as needed in order to maintain an appropriate emergency response capability; 3. In time of emergency, implement emergency response actions as specified in the Plan, in coordination with the County’s EOC; and 4. Assist with post-disaster restoration and recovery operations as required. The Plan is consistent with the Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Laws of 2000, as amended (Chapter 3.2, Title 44 of the Code of Virginia) and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288, as amended) and its implementing regulations. This Executive Order shall be effective upon its signing and shall remain in full force and effect until amended or rescinded by further executive order. 5 Pittsylvania County Emergency Operations Plan May 2019 6 Pittsylvania County Emergency Operations Plan May 2019 7 Pittsylvania County Emergency Operations Plan May 2019 Record of Changes Change Date of Page or Summary of Change Name of Number Change Section Person Changed Authorizing Change 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 8 Pittsylvania County Emergency Operations Plan May 2019 Record of Distribution Director of Emergency Management Deputy Director of Emergency Management Coordinator of Emergency Management Deputy Coordinator of Emergency Management Sheriff’s Office Fire and Rescue Squads Assistant County Administrator/Public Works Director Finance Department Director of Social Services Danville-Pittsylvania County Chapter American Red Cross Extension Service Health Department County Attorney Emergency Communications Center Board of Supervisors Public School System Code Compliance Planning Official Building Official Fire Marshal 9 Pittsylvania County Emergency Operations Plan May 2019 I. Introduction A crisis or emergency can happen at any time and could impact one individual, a single building or the entire community. This document is Pittsylvania County’s Emergency Operation Plan (EOP). Emergencies cause confusion and stress for all involved. In order to minimize these effects, initial activation and implementation of the emergency plan should always be handled in a calm, consistent manner. Efficient implementation of the plan will provide a clear direction, responsibility and continuity of control for key officials and administrators. The basic idea to any well-constructed emergency plan is to minimize the possible threat to individuals and properties during an actual emergency. In order to minimize the threat of an emergency, annual evaluation and reviews need to be done to the emergency plan. Purpose The purpose of the Basic Plan is to establish the legal and organizational basis for operations in the effective response to and recovery from all-hazards disasters and/or emergency situations. It assigns broad responsibilities to local government agencies and support organizations for disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. These responsibilities are generally extensions of normal, day-to-day functions involving the same personnel and material resources. Supporting plans for all-hazards disasters
