(Author/CK) THE CIVILDEFENSE DIRECTOR/COORDINATOR rit An Orientationto thePosition C=0 t.161 A Programof Instruction for Local CivilDefenseCoordinators by NTNA L. RUSKJER Education Specialist STAFF COLLEGEOFFICE OF CIVIL DEFENSE6 RATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN PREFACE This home study course of programed ir.struction is intendedfor persons mho have recently taken positions as local Civil Defense Directors Coordinators. It is an orientation to the position. In some jurisdictions the position goes by the title of "Director, while in others it goes by that of "Coordinator."This is the reason for the doUble title in the name of thecourse. However, in the in- structional material, the title is always referred toas "Coordinator." The Office of Civil Defense Staff College expresses deepestappre- ciation to all of the many Civil Defense Co(' dinators who have enthu- siastically and freely given of their time, _mowledge, and experience to support the project. There is not a situation in the text which was not supplied by one of them. Special appreciation is expressed for the days, literally, spent by Colonel William J. Allen, Jr., Director of City-County Civil Defense, Denver, Colorado, and Nrs. Marie Webb, Instructor, Minnesota Civil Defense University Extension Program and folluer Civil Defense Director, Salina, Kansas, inorienting the author to the crvil defense situation in local jurisdictions. Thanks also go to the many State and Regional civil defense personnel who assisted so generously with advice and counsel which_ made thefinal product possible. Special thanks go to Mr. James H. Beck, Behavior Engineer, Com- munity Systems Foundation, Ann Arbor, Michigan, mho servedas techni- cal consultant for programing, and to Dr. JamesM. Ridgway, Deputy Assistant Director (Training and Education), Officeof Civil Defense, for his foresight in requesting that thecourse be produced; his insistence that it be written in a practical, situationalapproach; his untiring review on his own time of every draft; andhis appre- ciative encouragement during the developmentalprocess. iii INTRODUCTIO N: HOW TO STUDY THIS COURSE This Staff College home study course of programed instructioncon- sists of five units and final examination. You will need an estimated twelve to twenty hours to complete it. Here is the way to proceed. First, from your City or County Clerk, get copies of your State civil defense law and local civil defense ordi- nance for use in Unit 1. Then begin study of Unit 1. If you have no local ordinance, do the best you can with Unit 1 anyway. Be sure to read carefUlly the "Outline" and "Introduction"which come before each Unit. The outline emphasizes the main points being taught and the introduction page itself contains important teadhing points which are sometimes related to test questions. In a Unit, each page contains a bit of instruction knownas a "frame." There are responses at the close of each frame from which you must pick the one whiCh you consider to be the best. Thus, you complete the frame; so do one frame at a time, and don't lookahead to adVanced frames until you have completed the frameyou are on. This type of programed instruction is designedso that the best answer in each frame is easily selected.Don't let that fact lead you into hasty studying, because the answers for the tests and the final examination are designed to be more difficult. If you do not learn well the main points taught in the frames of the text,you will not be able to make the judgments required to pick the bestresponses in test questions. Read each frame carefully. Try to place yourself in the situation described and look for the principle involved.A separate point is taught in almost every frame. That point cannot be learned just from the response. Rather, it will be learned bya study of the total situation contained in the frame including theresponses. Mark the responses you select in thespace provided. At the end of each unit is a list of preferred responses for theframes. Unless the text indicates otherwise, these "preferred"responses are con- sidered to be the "best" responses, rather than the only "correct" ones. The course cannot teach absolute right andwrong, because the actual situation varies so from one community toanother. For this reason, what the course tries to do, instead, is to show concepts, indicate positive attitudes and approadheS, and give certainbasic information to help you.However, the tests and examination do have right and wrong answers, for grading purposes. Therefore, you should answer test questions_on_the basis of information given in the text, not on the basis of your unique local situation. Suggested places for taking short rest breaks are indicated at the beginning of Units 3, 4, and 5, as well as at the frames themselves. The appendices contain items which are useftl as on-the-job aids. Your student nunber is on the cover of this textbook. Please in- clude your name and your student nuMber on all correspondence regarding the course. If you have any questions during your study, feel free to write to us. The address to use is: Box 2000, (Instructor, The CDD/C) CDUSA Battle Creek, MiChigan49016. When you have completei a unit, take the test at the end of the unit, following the directions included there.After you mail in your answer card for Unit 5, you will receive a final examination. A Certificate of Satisfactory Completion will be given to you when we haire received your answer cards for all five units k;.nd the final exami- nation, successfully completed. You should finish the course within three months after yau enroll. Good Luck! CONTENTS Page PREFACE INTRODUCTION UNIT 1 LAWS: What Are the Legal 1 Authorities for My Civil Defense Coordinator's Job?

  • Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety Emergency Action Planning for Dams
    Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety Emergency Action Planning for Dams FEMA 64 / July 2013 All illustrations in this document were created by FEMA or a FEMA contractor unless otherwise noted. All photographs in this document are public domain or taken by FEMA or a FEMA contractor unless otherwise noted. PREFACE The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for coordinating the Federal response to disasters and for providing Federal guidance to State, local, Tribal, and Territorial emergency management authorities for all foreseeable emergencies in the United States and U.S. Territories. To improve the Nation’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities, FEMA believes that formal guidelines are needed to help dam owners, in coordination with emergency management authorities, effectively develop and exercise Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for dams. The purpose of the guidance in this document is to meet that need. This document is an update of FEMA 64, Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Emergency Action Planning for Dam Owners (2004). Background In “Dam Safety Memorandum to the Heads of Certain Federal Agencies,” dated April 23, 1977, President Jimmy Carter directed that (1) dam safety reviews of various Federal programs be documented, (2) the chair of the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology convene an ad hoc interagency committee provide “recommendations as to the means of improving the effectiveness of the Government-wide dam safety effort” and prepare and report on “proposed Federal dam safety guidelines for management procedures to ensure dam safety,” and (3) the Executive Office of Science and Technology Policy arrange for a panel of recognized experts to review agency regulations, procedures, and practices throughout the Federal Government and to review proposed Federal dam safety guidelines.

Groundwater governance and management in emergencies • In emergency situations policy of sustainability cannot be strictly implemented. Groundwater from aquifers resistant to natural disasters can be temporary overexploited to tide over the emergency until the regular water supply system can be restored and reactivated both in quantity and quality. • Implementation of such policy requires the knowledge of regional hydrogeological conditions, particularly the rate of aquifer productivity and quality and evaluation of potential impact of aquifers temporary overexploitation on groundwater dependent ecosystems.
