Purpose and Scope A. Purpose 1. The purpose of ESF 1 is to provide resources of member agencies to support emergency transportation needs in Sedgwick County. B. Scope 1. ESF 1 addresses both emergency transportation assistance and the maintenance of transportation routes. Specifically, it discusses: a. Evacuation of people and resources b. Restoration of transportation infrastructure c. Coordination of resource movement d. Traffic restrictions and transportation safety e. Mutual aid and private sector transportation resources 2. Encompassed in this ESF is information on standard operating procedures for emergency routes, movement of responders, victims and supplies associated with response and recover efforts following a major disaster, egress and ingress information. Also included is information on major surface transportation routes as well as transport of services critical to the welfare of the citizens of Sedgwick County. II. Concept of Operations A. General Overview 1. ESF 1 is organized consistent with the Sedgwick County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the requirements of the National Response Framework, the National Incident Management System, and the Incident Command System. This structure and system supports incident assessment, planning, procurement, deployment, and coordination and support operations to Sedgwick County through the Sedgwick County Emergency Response Team, Area Operations and Regional Incident Management Teams (IMTs) to provide a timely and appropriate response to an emergency or situation. 2. Procedures, protocols and plans for disaster response activities are developed to govern staff operations at the Sedgwick County EOC and in the field. These are in the form of Emergency Operations Plan (i.e., Base Plan) and corresponding Appendices, Incident Annexes, Support Annexes and Standard Operating Guidelines, which describe ESF 1 capabilities. Periodic training and exercises are also conducted to enhance effectiveness. 3. In a large event requiring local or State mutual aid assistance, ESF 1 will work with its support agency counterparts to seek and procure, plan, coordinate and/or direct the use of required assets. 3 4. Throughout the response and recovery periods, ESF 1 will evaluate and analyze information requests to move people, materials, equipment and other resources as necessary; develop and update assessments of the transportation service situation and status in the impact area; and undertake contingency planning to meet anticipated demands or needs. 5. Traffic Management: Traffic movement will be coordinated between public works and law enforcement officials if traffic has to be rerouted, have checkpoints, and establishing perimeters/barricades. Diversion of traffic flow patterns will be the responsibility of law enforcement. The Kansas Department of Transportation KDOT is responsible for all state highways, and any changes to traffic flow patterns must be coordinated with KDOT. Alternate routes will be recommended by the incident commander and coordinated with the appropriate local authority to ensure the safety of responders and public alike. 6. Evacuations: ESF #1 applies to all agencies and organizations with assigned emergency responsibilities in the LEOP. Transportation of individuals will be coordinated with the appropriate agency responsible for their welfare, including one or more of the following: All emergency functions detailed in this plan could play a role in successfully carrying out an evacuation in Sedgwick County. The overall responsibility for issuing evacuation advisories rests with the chief elected executives of the affected political subdivisions; however, the on-scene Incident Commander (IC) can make a decision to initiate voluntary evacuation when there is an immediate need in order to protect lives and provide for public safety. B. Operational Concepts 1. Hazardous Materials Due to the large number of hazardous materials stored or transported in Sedgwick County, there is a potential of contamination or explosion that may call for the evacuation of an area. The major routes through the county are Interstate and U.S. highways, which along with major railroads covering the county pose a major transport problem and could involve one or more evacuation routes. (Refer to County Map of this Annex) 2. Evacuation Advisory In situations where rapid evacuation is critical to the continued health and safety of the population, the on-scene Incident Commander (IC) may issue an evacuation advisory. In case of a hazardous material accident/incident, it may be the Law Enforcement Officer or Fire Officer. In all cases the chief executive of the jurisdiction should be advised at once. 4 3. Evacuation Decision Considerations Evacuation may be only one protective alternative. Some considerations are as follows: a. Weather conditions. b. Evacuation routes, their capacities and susceptibilities to hazards. c. The availability and readiness of shelters. d. Modes of transportation for evacuees and for those unable to provide their own. e. The location of special needs populations pose unique considerations, as the evacuation itself could be more life threatening to these groups than the initial hazard. f. Be alert to any physical barriers, lack of transportation and consider the time consumption, involved in the evacuation process. 4. Evacuation Area Definition The definition of the area will be up to the appropriate agencies or officials order. In all cases, the situation needs to be continually monitored. The command authority will ensure the evacuation area is defined

  • Regional Context
    August 2007 REGIONAL CONTEXT Regional Transportation System Defining Regional Context The purpose of this task was to identify and summarize community specific and regional needs within and adjacent to the influence area. The recent update to the Wichita area’s Long Range Transportation Plan was a starting point with its identification of development trends and potential future transportation projects as well as its information on commuting patterns and trends, freight flows and use of all modes of transportation. The needs may include access to recreation/natural areas, development potential, and travel efficiency. System continuity at both a regional and local level was reviewed, including limited opportunities for east-west travel crossing the Wichita Valley Center Floodway commonly referred to as the “Big Ditch”. The system needs will take into account the Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) existing and proposed roadway system, including the Northwest Bypass, potential transportation improvements to be defined through the on-going South Area Transportation Study as well as any improvements completed or proposed by City or County offices. Access to regionally significant land uses in the immediate vicinity were considered including Towne West Mall, Mid-Continent Airport, Dugan Business area and several aviation manufacturers. The MPO planning area, Sedgwick County, and the Wichita Metropolitan Statistical Area, each of which has a unique boundary, are referenced in the following sections of this report. WAMPO LRTP Goals and Objectives The 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is guided by a set of goals, objectives and strategies that were recommended by the LRTP Advisory Committee and approved by the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO).

  • Facilitating Electric Vehicle Travel at America's Crossroads
    January 2017 FACILITATING ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRAVEL AT AMERICA’S CROSSROADS State of Iowa proposal to Electrify America On behalf of Iowa Economic Development Authority and the Iowa Department of Transportation I. Introduction The state of Iowa submits this proposal to Electrify America, the company investing in Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure on behalf of Volkswagen to comply with the partial settlement United States v. Volkswagen Group of America et al. The state’s lead agency on electric vehicle related matters is the Iowa Economic Development Authority, which houses the Iowa Energy Office and the Iowa Clean Cities program (ICC). Iowa Clean Cities has been in existence since 2005, is designated by the U.S. Department of Energy, and incorporates a variety of public and private stakeholders to coordinate education and technical assistance on alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies. IEDA’s recent initiatives surrounding electric vehicles include the Advancing Iowa’s Electric Vehicle Market study, discussed in this proposal, numerous stakeholder meetings and webinars, and three consumer education events for the 2016 National Drive Electric Week. The Iowa Department of Transportation is coordinating the state’s response and associated implementation of the Volkswagen settlement dollars, has provided assistance with this proposal, and will remain engaged in the ZEV investment activities going forward. Electric vehicle charging station implementation could be beneficial for the Iowa DOT’s work surrounding connected and automated vehicles. One of their projects, called Ignite Iowa, is intended to initially deploy technologies that support automated vehicles regionally along several project locations in Iowa in the Cedar Rapids-Iowa City transportation network.
