Any form of emergency may cause unprecedented property damage. Homes, structures, bridges, and other facilities will be damaged or destroyed and must be reinforced, demolished, or isolated to ensure safety. Streets, highways, bridges and bridge approaches, and other forms of transportation will be damaged and unusable. 2. The City-County will continue to be exposed to various hazards resulting in damage to both public and private property. 3. A significant response of both solicited and unsolicited resources from outside the impacted area can be expected and precautions must be made in order to manage this assistance. D. POLICIES. 1. Provide public works services to lands and facilities under local jurisdiction. Emergency public works response to private property shall be done only when authorized, or when life or public health is threatened. 2. Clear transportation routes as per public safety priorities. 3. Debris clearance is critical to life safety and security. Debris removal efforts will first focus on clearing of major transportation routes and roadways into damaged areas to allow for the movement of emergency vehicles, personnel, equipment and supplies. 4. Debris removal is necessary in affected areas to prevent the development and spread of vector-based epidemiological agents, general sanitation problems and environmental damage. 5. All disposal activities will be conducted with health and environmental concerns being the foremost consideration. ---PAGE BREAK--- Annex III Emergency Support Function (ESF) # 3 PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING CEMP July 2011 3 - 5 II. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. A. GENERAL. 1. The City-County has public works/engineering capabilities in several departments. There are also private constructions, engineering and supply resource organizations in the City-County. During a major emergency the activities and services normally provided by such firms and local government departments/agencies would continue with the emphasis shifting to emerging emergency tasks. The requirement for emergency public works and engineering services expands directly in proportion to the magnitude of the emergency. Nonessential activities may be curtailed or deferred. 2. Public Works is an integral part of the emergency response network providing emergency services to City-County residents. For many single site emergency situations, the function of emergency public works will be an extension of normal duties. However, during widespread, multiple-site emergencies public works resources and facilities may be in short supply. 3. Existing mutual aid agreements may augment resources and satisfy a temporary increase in local needs. If local capabilities are exceeded, support may be available from regional, state and federal public works groups. 4. Coordination between public works agencies is necessary to ensure emergency operational readiness. Each department having responsibility for emergency public works must develop Standard Operating Guides (SOGs) and resource listings to support this ESF. 5. A listing of available emergency public works resources is developed by this ESF Lead Agency and is kept in a separate Resource Inventory maintained by the Resource Management ESF # 7 in the EOC. 6. Butte – Silver Bow has will manage debris clearance, collection and disposal according to standard operation procedures within the road division to facilitate and coordinate the rapid and economic clearing and eventual removal and disposal of emergency generated debris. 7. Butte – Silver Bow EOC Infrastructure Services Branch, will have the primary responsibility for identifying Debris Storage and Reduction sites, obtaining agreements to use these sites and ensuring their continued availability. 8. Federal Assistance. a. The City-County Debris Management Group Supervisor will recommend that the EOC Manager request Federal assistance when the debris-generating event exceeds City-County’s in-house debris clearing, removal, and disposal capabilities. The request will be submitted to the Operations Section Chief, who will then submit the request to the EOC Manager in the EOC. The EOC ---PAGE BREAK--- PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING City & County of Butte–Silver Bow, Montana 3 - 6 CEMP July 2011 Manager will forward the request to the State, which will coordinate the request for a mission assignment with FEMA. Typically, when mission assigned by FEMA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will provide a liaison to the EOC when activated. This liaison will serve as an advisor to the EOC staff providing advice as needed and ensuring that the USACE is prepared to respond when tasked. b. The Corps of Engineers will alert a Debris Planning and Response Team (PRT) and the Advance Contracting Initiative (ACI) Contractor under contract for that area and have them ready to respond when a mission assignment is received. Once the Corps receives a mission assignment from FEMA, the management groups for both the PRT and ACI Contractor will be available to meet with the Debris Management Group Supervisor and State representatives to conduct contingency planning as required. c. USACE will coordinate with the Debris Management Coordination staff on the use of any pre-identified debris management sites and disposal sites, and identify/acquire other sites as required to accomplish the mission assignment. 9. State Assistance. a. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDOT) responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following with respect to any and all debris management activities: • Provide a MDOT Debris Coordinator to the DMC staff to coordinate all MDOT personnel and equipment debris assignments • Provide personnel and equipment to initiate the clearing of emergency evacuation routes and access to critical facilities throughout the City/County (Phase I) as directed by the Debris Management Group Supervisor in coordination with the DOT Debris Coordinator located at the DMC. • Ensure that the MDOT representative at the DMC is provided all needed logistics support, including cell phone, transportation, etc. • Ensure that the MDOT Debris Coordinator keeps the Debris Management Group Supervisor informed of clearing progress and any problems encountered or expected. 10.

Public Works and Engineering likely tasks are found in the City-County box on the tab page of this section. D. LIFE SAFETY ASSESSMENT. An initial EOC priority is to gather as much intelligence about the extent of damage as soon as possible. Public Works personnel constitute a large presence in the field and are the eyes and ears of the EOC. Whenever they identify an unusual situation, they should report the need for rescue, the numbers of dead or injured persons encountered, damage to buildings or public facilities such as roads and bridges, and utilities. These reports will be compiled by the department dispatcher and immediately communicated to the EOC. E. EVACUATION. Assist evacuation activities as requested and/or assigned in the Butte-Silver Bow Evacuation Strategy. F. FIELD OPERATIONS. 1. The first priority will be to assist the law enforcement and fire services personnel in saving lives. This may include providing support to heavy rescue operations of people in collapsed buildings; clearing of roads and traffic control; construction of emergency access roads; communication support; the use of vehicles for transportation, sheltering, and rescue personnel support, and/or the inspection of critical facilities such as hospitals, designated shelters and emergency operations centers. 2. When operating at an incident scene with law enforcement or fire units, always check in with the incident command post or staging area, receive an assignment and report to the designated supervisor to perform the tasks. 3. Law enforcement and fire services agencies will establish inner and outer perimeters to secure an emergency scene. A strict policy of restricted access to the emergency area will be rigidly enforced to ensure the safety and well being of the community. All movement into and out of the area will be controlled and must be authorized through the established incident command post. 4. Public Works may be called on to provide barricades and other access control measures to ensure security for essential facilities and damaged infrastructure, if required, and law enforcement officers will assist in restricting access to unsafe buildings or areas. 5. Hazardous Materials Response: a. Public Works units responding to assist at a hazardous material incident ---PAGE BREAK--- Annex III Emergency Support Function (ESF) # 3 PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING CEMP July 2011 3 - 13 will ensure that they are fully integrated into the incident command structure, have a full understanding of the Incident Commander’s assessment of the situation and that they take full and proper precautions to protect themselves as directed by the assigned supervisor. b. Only personnel that are properly trained and equipped should be deployed to a hazardous material incident. III. ATTACHMENTS AND REFERENCES. A. ATTACHMENTS. 1. Public Works (ESF # 3) Checklist. B.
