PURPOSE: The purpose of the Siparia Regional Corporation Emergency Operations Plan with its annexes and other attachments is to provide the basis for a coordinated emergency operation before, during and after an emergency or disaster affecting Siparia Regional Corporation. The guidance contained in this plan is designed to develop a state of readiness for all types of hazards – natural and man-made. This plan also provides for the necessary coordination with the Ministry of Local Government and the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management. II. SCOPE: a) The Siparia Regional Corporation Emergency Operations Plan provides a basis for preparing for and executing emergency operations to prevent, minimize, prepare for, respond to, and recover from injury or damage that may be caused by natural or technological hazards. The Municipal Corporation must also ensure the continuity of government operations during disaster situations. b) This plan pre-determines, to the extent possible, actions and interactions to be taken by the Municipal Corporation and cooperating agencies to prevent and minimize disasters. These actions include reduction of the vulnerability of its citizens to disasters, protection of life and property of citizens residing in Siparia Regional Corporation as well as visitors to the region/city/borough, quick and effective response to disaster occurrences and the implementation of timely recovery actions. III. DESIGN This Plan has two basic principal components. a) The Basic Plan: The Basic Plan provides an overview of the Emergency Operations organization and policies. It describes the overall approach to disaster operations and assigns responsibilities for emergency planning and operations. In general terms, it states WHO will do WHAT and WHEN they will do it. b) Appendices: General: These Appendices provide information related to organization, position responsibilities, administrative forms and financial record keeping, initial damage assessment procedures, and emergency response resource inventories. Hazard-Specific: These Appendices provide guidance unique to a given hazard or situation. IV. AUTHORITIES 3 4 The following are the legislative authorities for the promulgation of this plan: a) Ministry of Local Government MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS ACT, CHAPTER 25:04, Act No. 21 of 1990 b) Ministry of National Security, Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) DISASTERS MEASURES ACT, CHAPTER 16:50, (ACT 47 OF 1978) V. POLICY STATEMENTS a) Limitations: Due to the nature of emergency response, the outcome is not easy to predict. Therefore, it should be recognized that this plan is meant to serve as a guideline and that the outcome of the response may be limited by the scope, magnitude and duration of the event. b) Suspension of Routine Activities and Availability of Employees: Day to day functions that do not contribute directly to the disaster operation may be suspended for the duration of an emergency. Efforts normally required for routine activities may be redirected to accomplish emergency tasks. During an emergency response, Corporation employees not otherwise assigned emergency/disaster related duties will, unless otherwise restricted, be made available to augment the work of their department, or other Corporation departments, if required. c) Households of Emergency Response Personnel: Corporation employees may not be at peak efficiency or effectiveness during a disaster if the status of their households is unknown or in doubt. Employees who are assigned disaster response duties are encouraged to attend to their domestic affairs BEFORE responding or alternatively, to make arrangements with other employees, friends, neighbours or relatives to check on their immediate families in the event of a disaster and to communicate that information to the employee through the (Siparia Regional Corporation) Emergency Operations Centre. d) Non-Discrimination: All local activities will be carried out in accordance with Equal Opportunities Act (2000 part IV). It is the (Siparia Regional Corporation) policy that no service will be denied on the basis of race, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation or the presence of any disability. 4 5 e) Citizen Preparedness: This Plan does not substitute government services for individual responsibility. Citizens are expected to be aware of developing events and take appropriate steps to respond in a safe and timely manner. The Siparia Regional Corporation will make every effort to provide information to the public, via the media and/or other means available, to assist citizens in dealing with an emergency. VI. REVIEW AND UPDATE: a) An update of this plan, including a review of the Siparia Regional Corporation responsibilities and procedures, will be conducted by the CEO and the Disaster Management Unit annually. b) Additional revisions or enhancements required following activation of the Siparia Regional Corporation Emergency Operations Centre or as the result of the findings resulting from exercises may also be added.
