The Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Law of 2000, as amended, requires that the state, and each county and city within the state, develop and maintain a current Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) which addresses their planned response to such extraordinary emergency situations. This plan for the County of Cumberland is designed to meet this responsibility and to include the city in the mutually supportive statewide emergency management system. The County of Cumberland Emergency Operations Plan actually consists of two plans. The development and maintenance of these plans is the basis of the local emergency management program. The Basic Plan describes the concept of emergency operations and assigns duties and responsibilities to agency heads or organizations which are either part of, or will serve in support of, local government in time of emergency. It becomes the organizational and legal basis for emergency operations. Functional annexes and hazard-specific Annexes to the Basic Plan provide additional guidance and set forth detailed procedures as needed to assure an appropriate level of emergency preparedness. The Federal Superfund and Reauthorization Act (SARA Title III) requires the development and maintenance of detailed procedures for identifying facilities with extremely hazardous materials and for assuring an adequate emergency response capability by these facilities and by local emergency services. A separately published SARA Title III Plan, which is a part of the EOP, is made up of three sections, the Basic Plan, the Branch Annexes, and the Hazard Specific Annexes and will provide additional procedures for a hazardous materials incident response. The SARA Title III/ Hazardous Materials Response Plan is a standalone plan which is developed and maintained separate from the EOP. This plan was developed by the County of Cumberland Fire and EMS Chief with assistance from the Central Virginia Urban Area Security Initiative planning staff. Input was requested and received from other local officials. “In the event of an emergency when there are crime victims involved as defined by §19.2-11.01 of the Code of Virginia the County of Cumberland, VA will contact the Virginia Department of Virginia Criminal Justice Services(DCJS) and the Virginia Criminal Injuries Contact Fund(VCICF) to deploy. Both entities will serve as the lead for coordinating services and assistance to the victims.” ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 6 Criminal Injury Compensation Fund Jack Ritchie, Director, CICF Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund (CICF) Department Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission 1000 DMV Drive Richmond, VA 23220 CICF Toll Free: 1-[PHONE REDACTED] Phone: (804) 367-1018 Email: [EMAIL REDACTED] [PHONE REDACTED] (after hours) Leigh Snellings (alternate).

As required by the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Law of 2000, as amended, (Code of Virginia, 44-146.13 to 146.28.1) this plan assigns broad responsibilities to local government departments, agencies and support organizations for disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Efficient implementation of this plan provides a clear direction, responsibility and continuity of control for key officials and administrators. The purpose of any well-constructed emergency plan is to minimize the possible threat to individuals and properties during an actual emergency. In order to minimize the threats of an emergency, annual evaluation, review and exercise of this EOP is required. All essential entities are to utilize any and all available resources when mitigating against, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from any natural, technological or man-made hazard or event which has or is expected to affect Cumberland County. Assumptions Emergencies of various types, size, intensity, and duration may occur within or near the jurisdictional boundaries of the county with or without warning. These emergencies can develop into disasters that affect the safety, health, and welfare of the population, and cause damage or destruction to private and public property, critical infrastructure, and community resources. The Government of the County of Cumberland is responsible for maintaining an emergency operations plan and response capability to protect the lives and property of its citizens and community from the effects of all potential disasters. County government must continue to function throughout a disaster or emergency situation. To ensure that the essential roles within Cumberland are maintained throughout an emergency, the county maintains and keeps current a separate Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). The Government of the County of Cumberland will use the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command Structure (ICS). Each department with assigned responsibilities in this plan will develop procedures to accomplish those responsibilities. The Director and Coordinator of Emergency Management will review and update the EOP annually, as necessary. The Director, with the assistance of the Coordinator, should have the plan thoroughly revised and readopted every four years, as required by law. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 9 Day-to-day functions that do not contribute directly to the emergency operation may be suspended for the duration of any emergency. Efforts that would normally be required of those functions will be redirected to accomplish the emergency tasks of the agency concerned. The County must be prepared to bear the initial impact of a disaster on its own. Help may not be immediately available from the state or federal government after a natural or man-made disaster. Citizens of the county are prepared to be independent for at least three days after the onset of a disaster. Situation Based on a hazards analysis of the area, the primary hazards in the County of Cumberland are hazardous materials incidents, transportation, windstorms and tornadoes, power outages, pipeline accidents, winter weather, flooding along the Appomattox River, James River, Guinea Creek, Willis River, and airplane crashes. In addition to natural and technological hazards, the County is mindful that outbreaks of disease or widespread illness, from any cause within the community, can pose a serious threat to the welfare of the public and to the community. These outbreaks may be introduced from external sources with the intent to disrupt or may be propagated through a variety of mechanisms. In the event of an emergency situation that exceeds local emergency response capabilities, outside assistance is available, either through local mutual aid agreements; or through available assistance from other localities via SMA and state resources that can be requested from the VEOC using WebEOC. A local emergency must be declared and local capacity must be exceeded or fully committed before requesting state and federal assistance. Concepts of Operation (CONOPS) A member of the Board of Supervisors is elected/ appointed the Director of Emergency Management. With the support of key local officials and staff, he/she will direct and control emergency operations from the County EOC, which is located at 1641 Anderson Highway, Cumberland Rescue Squad. The Director of Emergency Management will activate the EOC at his discretion. The Director of Emergency Management is the Chair of the Board of Supervisors. The day-to-day activities of the emergency preparedness program have been delegated to the Chief of Fire and EMS. The day-to-day activities of the emergency management program, for which the Chief of Fire and EMS are responsible, include developing and maintaining an EOP, maintaining the County EOC in a constant state of readiness, and other responsibilities as outlined in local and state regulations. The Director, in conjunction with the Coordinator, will direct and control emergency operations in time of emergency and issue directives to other agencies, services, and organizations concerning disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 10 Succession to the Director of Emergency Management will be: 1. Director of Emergency Management, Chair, Board of Supervisors 2. Coordinator of Emergency Management, County Administrator 3. Deputy Coordinator of Emergency Management, Cumberland Fire and EMS Chief The Coordinator of Emergency Management is responsible for: 1) developing and maintaining an emergency response capability, and, 2) recommending actions to mitigate the potential effects of the most likely disasters. A local emergency may be declared by the Director of Emergency Management with the consent of the Board of Supervisors at the next meeting or within 14 days (see Section 44-146.21, Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Law of 2000, as amended). The declaration of a local emergency activates this EOP and authorizes the provision of aid and assistance there under. It should be declared when a coordinated response among several local agencies/organizations must be directed, or when it becomes necessary to incur substantial financial obligations inorder to protect the health and safety of persons and property, or to provide assistance to the victims of a disaster. The EOP may also be activated prior to an emergency being declared. The Director of Emergency Management, with the consent of the County’s Board of Supervisors, is the constituted legal authority for approving the EOP and declaring a local state of emergency. The heads of operating agencies will maintain plans and procedures in order to be prepared to effectively accomplish their assigned responsibilities during an emergency. Accurate records of disaster-related expenditures will be maintained. In time of emergency, the heads of County offices, departments, and agencies will continue to be responsible for the protection and preservation of records essential for the continuity of government operations. Department and agency heads will establish lists of succession of key emergency personnel. The Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Law of 2000, as amended, provide that emergency services organizations and operations will be structured around existing constitutional government. The County of Cumberland’s organization for emergency operations consists of existing government departments and voluntary emergency response organizations. The Director of Emergency Management, assisted by the Coordinator and department heads, will develop and maintain a primary Emergency Operations Center (EOC) from which to direct operations in time of emergency. The primary EOC is currently located at 1641 Anderson Highway in the Cumberland Rescue Squad building.. A secondary or mobile EOC should also be pre-identified since an incident may not allow for the use of the primary EOC. The County’s EOC is organized and operates based on six branches. Though the EOC does not operate using emergency support functions (ESFs), each of the six branches have responsibilities ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 11 based on and organized by these ESFs. Each Branch Director coordinates the responsibilities identified in their designated branch and will maintain plans and procedures in order to be prepared to effectively accomplish their assigned responsibilities as outlined in the EOP’s Basic Plan, Emergency Coordination Guides and Annexes. On-scene coordination of emergency response will be accomplished using the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS), allowing local, state, and federal assets to be more readily incorporated into the incident framework. The Director of Emergency Management or designee will determine the need to evacuate large areas and will issue orders for evacuation or other protective action as needed. The Sheriff’s Office will implement evacuation and provide security for the evacuated area. In the event of a hazardous materials incident, the local Volunteer Fire Chief or his representative on the scene should implement immediate protective action to include evacuation as appropriate. The Director of Emergency Management or designee will notify the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) immediately upon declaration of a local emergency, and develop daily situation reports for local stakeholders and the Virginia EOC (VEOC), as appropriate to the event. All disaster-related expenditures must be documented in order to be eligible for post- disaster reimbursement should a federal disaster be declared. The Director of Emergency Management, assisted by the Coordinator, will ensure compatibility between the County's EOP and the plans and procedures of key facilities and private organizations within the County, as appropriate. The Chief of Fire and EMS, or designee, with support from designated local officials, will exercise direction and control from the EOC during disaster operations. The level of staffing of the EOC will be dependent on the type and scope of the event. The EOC will provide logistical and administrative support to response personnel deployed to the event site(s). Available warning time will be used to implement increased readiness measures which will ensure maximum protection of the population, property, and supplies from the effects of disasters. The Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP) requires the submission of the following reports by local government in time of emergency via the WebEOC. • Situation Reports • Initial Damage Assessment Report • Request for Assistance Form Support by military assets may be requested for a specific need at the determination of the VEOC. Military forces, when made available, will support and assist local forces and may receive from the Director of Emergency Management or designee, mission-type requests, to include objectives, priorities, and other information necessary to accomplish missions. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 12 Emergency assistance may be made available from neighboring jurisdictions in accordance with mutual aid agreements. Emergency forces may be sent from the County of Cumberland to assist adjoining jurisdictions. Such assistance will be in accordance with existing mutual aid agreements or, in the absence of official agreements, directed by the Director of Emergency Management or designee when he/she determines that such assistance is necessary and feasible.

It may include the identification of operational resources and assignments. It may also include attachments that provide direction and important information for management of the incident during one or more operational periods. Incident Command Post (ICP): The field location at which the primary tactical-level, on-scene incident command functions are performed. The ICP may be collocated with the incident base or other incident facilities and is normally identified by a green rotating or flashing light. Incident Command System (ICS): A standardized on-scene emergency management construct specifically designed to provide for the adoption of an integrated organizational structure that reflects the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during incidents. It is used for all kinds of emergencies and is applicable to small as well as large and complex incidents. ICS is used by various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private, to organize field-level incident management operations. Incident Commander (IC): The individual responsible for all incident activities, including the development of strategies and tactics and the ordering and the release of resources.

Incident Action Plan (IAP): A plan that provides a concise, coherent means of capturing and communicating overall incident priorities, objectives, and strategies in the contexts of both operations and support activities. If an incident is likely to extend beyond one operational period, becomes more complex, or involves multiple jurisdictions and/or agencies, in this case preparing an IAP will become increasingly important to maintain effective, efficient and safe operations. Incident Command System (ICS): A model for disaster response that uses common terminology, modular organization, integrated communications, unified command structure, action planning, manageable span of control, pre- designed facilities, and comprehensive resource management. In ICS there are five functional elements: Command, Operations, Logistics, Planning and Finance/Administration. Incident Commander: The individual responsible for the management of all incident operations. Initial Damage Assessment Report: A report that provides information regarding overall damage to public and private property, thereby providing a basis for emergency declaration and/or disaster assistance. Integrated Communications Plan: This plan coordinates the use of available communications means and establishes frequency assignments for certain functions. Joint Field Office (JFO): The primary Federal incident management field structure. The JFO is a temporary Federal facility that provides a central location for the coordination of Federal, State, tribal, and local governments and private-sector and nongovernmental organizations with primary responsibility for response and recovery. The JFO structure is organized, staffed, and managed in a manner consistent with National Incident Management System principles and is led by the Unified Coordination Group. Although the JFO uses an Incident Command System structure, the JFO does not manage on-scene operations. Instead, the JFO focuses on providing support to on-scene efforts and conducting broader support operations that may extend beyond the incident site. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 35 Joint Information Center (JIC): A facility established to coordinate all incident-related public information activities.

The County’s EOC does not operate based on ESFs. However the responsibilities of the Coordinator of Emergency Management or his/her designee are identified in this guide as they relate to the identified ESFs. Scope This guide aligns the duties of the Emergency Management Branch with the ESFs comparable to the day-to-day operations of the primary and secondary county agencies identified in this guide. County Administration will coordinate the responsibilities associated with Emergency Support Functions #14 and #15. • ESF#5 provides overall coordination of emergency operations for all county agencies. • ESF #7 identifies, procures, inventories, and distributes critical resources for the county during an emergency. • ESF #14 facilitates both short term and long term recovery following a disaster. • ESF #15 provides for efficient and coordinated continuous flow of timely information and instructions to the public using all available communications media prior to, during, and following an emergency or disaster. Concept of Operations Many hazards have the potential for causing disasters which require centralized coordination. During emergencies, management and coordination functions can be accomplished at the EOC, thereby allowing field units to concentrate on essential tasks. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 50 When activated, the EOC will provide direction, control, and coordination of resources. During an emergency/disaster, the Director of Emergency Management or designee exercises direction and control, establishes policy and provides overall supervision of the emergency/disaster operations. The EOC is a staff level function, which provides guidance, decision making, and resources to each branch. It obtains information from a variety of sources and seeks information to develop an accurate picture of the emergency. Responsibility for the performance of each Branch is charged to agencies that conduct similar activities during normal operations. The Branch Director or other designated party is responsible for the coordination and performance of the tasks assigned to each branch. To manage their operations, all branches will collect and process information. The EOC will focus on collecting critical information from the branches that is of common value or need to more than one branch or operational element to create an overall perspective of the incident. The staff of the EOC will support short-term and long-term planning for operations and record the activities planned and track their progress. The Branch Directors will assist in the development of response priorities for the Incident Action Plan (IAP) for the next operational period. All county departments have resources that can be used during an emergency. Many of these resources would be critical to the immediate emergency response following a major emergency/disaster event and others may be critical for long term recovery operations. During or following an emergency, the initial response will be dependent upon local public and private resources. In the event of an emergency situation that exceeds local emergency response capabilities, outside assistance is available, either through local mutual aid agreements; or through Statewide Mutual Aid (SMA) and Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) through the Virginia EOC. The Coordinator of Emergency Management will initiate the commitment of resources from outside the county government with operational control being exercised by the on-site commander of the service requiring that resource. All resource expenditures will be reported to the EOC during activations. A disaster or emergency may affect areas of the county disproportionately and require resources to be deployed to the affected areas, businesses, etc., thereby disrupting regular county service delivery. Routine operations may be disrupted or postponed to support recovery. Short-term recovery operations are broadly defined in this guide as measures undertaken to restore basic services and government functions while the County’s EOC is activated. Any disaster or emergency is likely to have an economic impact on the county which must be assessed in order to minimize the long-term impact on the county and its fiscal condition. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 51 Completing this assessment is likely to require the assistance of additional resources from outside the county. Federal agencies may be requested to continue to provide recovery assistance under independent authorities to the state and local governments; the private sector; and individuals, while coordinating activities and assessments of need for additional assistance. The strategy for long-term recovery will encompass land use, public safety, housing, public services, transportation services, and education. The County’s Public Information Officer will be responsible for disseminating information regarding the emergency to the public. Emergency information will be disseminated by appropriate means based on the incident. The primary methods will be the use of television, radio, and print media outlets, the county website, Media sources will be monitored to ensure that accurate information is being disseminated. Responsibilities The responsibilities of this guide have been organized based on the ESF responsibilities identified in the National Response Framework. Each department’s responsibilities are organized based on those ESFs. The Emergency Management Branch is responsible for maintaining records of all expenses related to its emergency functions. The public information function will be handled by the county’s Public Information Officer until a Joint Information Center (JIC) can be established. If appropriate, a Joint Information Center will established, all press releases, press requests, and public protective action guidance will be developed, coordinated, reviewed, and disseminated through this organization. At a minimum, representatives from local government administration, Fire Service, Law Enforcement, Emergency Management as well as the appropriate state and federal agencies who may be involved in supporting the response FBI, DHS, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Virginia State Police, etc.) will comprise the JIC. Other agencies may be included as required to ensure an accurate, timely, and coordinated release of information to fulfill the needs of the public as well as the news media. Effectively managing the release of information during any event presents a variety of challenges to not only government officials, but to the media as well. The recovery process is comprised of the following: reentry, rapid assessment, damage assessment, the formulation of short- and long-term priorities within the context of basic needs and available resources, and the identification and implementation of appropriate restoration and development strategies to fulfill the priorities established, as well as ensure a successful recovery ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 52 program.

The Chief of Fire and EMS, or his designee, will coordinate the responsibilities identified in this guide. Scope This guide aligns the duties of the Fire & Rescue Services Branch with the ESFs comparable to the day-to-day operations of the county agencies listed. The Cumberland County Department of Fire and EMS will coordinate the responsibilities associated with ESFs #4 and #10. • ESF #4 provides fire, rescue and emergency medical services to ensure the safety of life and property within the county. • ESF #10 responds to and stabilizes hazardous materials incidents. Concept of Operations In a disaster, the fire department may be called upon to do much more than their typical response to fires and emergency medical calls. The fire department will assist with rescue and extrication of trapped persons, assess hazardous materials situations, and remove debris on primary roadways, evacuations, reconnaissance, and other duties as necessary. Also, the neighborhood fire station may become a place where people go for information and assistance. Mutual aid agreements exist with surrounding jurisdictions as well as through statewide mutual aid agreements. Fire and rescue personnel and equipment will be able to cope with most emergency situations without assistance or through the use of existing mutual aid agreements. When ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 57 additional or specialized support is required, assistance can be obtained from neighboring localities, state and federal agencies, through the Emergency Communications Center or during activations the Emergency Operations. During the critical phases of an emergency/disaster, fire stations and rescue squads will be staffed continuously as conditions permit. Communications will be established with the Emergency Communications Center and the EOC. Hazardous materials emergencies could occur from any one of several sources including roadway and rail transportation, or fixed facility accidents, although the most probable occurrence is household hazardous materials. Hazardous materials emergencies may occur without warning, requiring immediate emergency response actions. The Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad respond to the incident in the initial phase without assistance from outside the jurisdiction. This includes notification and warning of the public, evacuation or sheltering-in place, immediate first aid and isolation of the scene. Evacuation or sheltering-in-place may be required to protect portions of the county. Victims of a hazardous materials incident may require unique or special medical treatment not typically available in the county. The release of hazardous materials may have short and/or long term health, environmental and economic effects depending upon the type of product. Depending upon the threat posed by the incident, protective measures initiated for the safety of the public could include sheltering-in-place, evacuation and/or isolation of the contaminated environment. A facility involved in a hazardous materials incident will provide all information on a timely basis as required by SARA, Title III, Section 304. Responsibilities The responsibilities of this guide have been organized based on the ESF responsibilities identified in the National Response Framework. Each department’s responsibilities are organized based on those emergency support functions. The Fire & Rescue Services Branch is responsible for maintaining records of all expenses related to its emergency functions. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 58 Fire Department and Rescue Squad ESF #4-Firefighting • Coordinate the prevention of, planning for and response to natural and human-caused fires. • Provide qualified personnel to staff the Fire Branch during EOC activations • Assist with evacuation, communications, medical emergencies, warning and alerting, mutual aid agreements, and coordinate response operations with surrounding jurisdictions • Coordinate and manage the use of fire service resources responding to emergencies; • In cooperation with the Law Enforcement Branch, assist with search & rescue operations; • Perform other emergency response duties as required; and • Provide the Emergency Operations Center with frequent updates as to the status of fire suppression activities.

The Director of Public Health or his/her designee will coordinate the responsibilities identified in this guide. Scope This guide aligns the duties of the Health & Medical Services Branch with the ESF comparable to the day-to-day operations of the primary and secondary county agencies identified in this guide. The Health Department will coordinate the responsibilities associated with Emergency Support Function • ESF #8 provide health and medical services to the residents of the county during and/or after an emergency situation. Concept of Operations Medical services are an essential element of emergency/disaster response. Situations with potential threat to health and safety of community require coordination of public health and medical response. Many casualties requiring emergency transportation and medical care may occur as the result of an event. In addition to casualties from the event, persons receiving medical care prior to the emergency/disaster will continue to require medical treatment. The systems and facilities that provide medical services may be impaired or totally disrupted by the impact of an emergency/disaster. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 61 In the aftermath of a major emergency/disaster, the public’s health can be jeopardized in many ways. A major emergency/disaster can disrupt or halt the public utilities, water supplies and wastewater treatment systems. Contaminants may enter water supply systems. Destruction or damage to homes, apartments, or other means of housing can dislocate people and require the establishment of mass care shelter facilities. Spoilage of food and medications can occur due to lack of power and quarantine or condemnation measures may become necessary to control the spread of disease. Emergencies/Disasters have the potential to raise stress levels in survivors and emergency responders, which may negatively affect their mental and emotional well-being. In addition to medical needs caused by events, public health emergencies may arise from outbreaks of natural disease. As a result, quarantine and/or isolation may be necessary in addition to treatment. If quarantine is implemented due to a public health threat, it may require special considerations and alter individual and community responses. Responsibilities The responsibilities of this guide have been organized based on the ESF responsibilities identified in the National Response Framework. All responsibilities listed for each agency are comparable to the roles of ESF Health & Medical Services The Health & Medical Services Branch is responsible for maintaining records of all expenses related to its emergency functions.

The Sheriff or his designee will coordinate the responsibilities identified in this guide. Scope This guide aligns the duties of the Law Enforcement Branch with the ESF comparable to the day- to-day operations of the county agencies listed. Law Enforcement will coordinate the responsibilities associated with ESFs #9 and #13. • The ESF#2 responsibilities include accurately and efficiently transferring information during an incident, and ensuring that the County has the ability to rapidly notify and warn the public. • ESF #9 responsibilities include locating, extricating, and providing on-site medical treatment to victims who are lost or trapped • ESF #13 responsibilities include Maintaining law and order, providing for the security of critical facilities and supplies, and controlling access to evacuated areas or critical facilities Concept of Operations The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office operates an emergency communications center. The Cumberland Emergency Communications Center (ECC) serves as the 911 center and the County’s Warning Point. The ECC is most often the first point of contact for the general public. The ECC will share information on disasters and emergencies in the county with the EOC. However, use of all available forms of warning and notification may not provide sufficient warning to the general public and special needs population. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 65 The emergency communications are heavily dependent on the commercial telephone network. The county’s emergency communications may be adversely affected if commercial telephone service is interrupted. The county also operates several radio systems for county agency communications. These systems are heavily dependent upon commercial communications infrastructure. In the event that the county’s radio systems are damaged, amateur radio and other non-governmental communications capabilities are available. Disasters may cause conditions that vary widely in scope, urgency, and degree of devastation. Substantial numbers of persons could be in life threatening situations requiring prompt rescue and medical care. Rescue personnel will encounter extensive damage to buildings. Because the mortality rate dramatically increases beyond 72 hours, search and rescue must begin immediately. In an emergency/disaster, law enforcement/safety measures may be needed to protect life and property. Extra patrols/surveillance will be needed in evacuated areas to prevent looting and protect property. Providing for the security of critical facilities and supplies may also be necessary. During an evacuation, traffic control personnel may be needed to ensure an orderly flow of traffic and proper parking at reception centers/shelters. The concentration of large numbers of people in shelters during an evacuation may necessitate police presence to maintain orderly conduct.

The Director of Public Works/ Public Utilities or his/her designee will coordinate the responsibilities identified in this guide. Scope This guide aligns the duties of the Public Works Branch with the ESFs comparable to the day-to- day operations of the primary and secondary county agencies identified in this guide. The Department of Public Works will coordinate the responsibilities associated with Emergency Support Functions and #12. • ESF#1 assists local, state, and federal government entities and voluntary organizations requiring transportation capacity to perform response missions following a disaster or emergency and coordinates response operations and restoration of the transportation infrastructure. • ESF #3 assesses the overall damage to public and private property and conducts necessary inspections to ensure the integrity of buildings, and assists with debris removal. • ESF #12 coordinates the restoration of public utility systems critical to saving lives through coordination with private utility providers. Concept of Operations In a disaster, transportation infrastructure, public utilities, buildings and structures may be destroyed or severely damaged. Homes, public buildings, bridges, and other facilities may need to be reinforced or demolished to ensure safety. Public utilities may be damaged and be partially or fully inoperable. All requests for transportation, utility, and energy support will be submitted to the County EOC for coordination, validation, and/or action. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 70 Access to the disaster areas may be dependent upon debris clearance and roadway repairs. Debris clearance and emergency road repairs will be given top priority to support immediate lifesaving emergency response activities. Prompt assessment of the disaster area is required to determine critical response times and potential workloads. Early damage assessment must be made rapidly and be general in nature. Following an incident, a multitude of independent damage assessment activities will be conducted by a variety of organizations including insurance companies, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the Virginia Department of Health, utility companies and Federal Agencies. The Public Works Branch will coordinate activities with these organizations, agencies and other Branches within the county EOC. Electrical outages and other commodity shortages may impact public health and safety services, and every effort must be made to minimize the duration of such outages or shortages and the number of citizens impacted by them. Other energy shortages, such as interruptions in the supply of natural gas or other petroleum products for transportation and industrial uses, may result from extreme weather, strikes, international embargoes, disruption of pipeline systems, or terrorism. Responsibilities The responsibilities of this branch have been organized based on the ESF responsibilities identified in the National Response Framework.

The Department of Social Services will coordinate the responsibilities associated with ESF • ESF #6 address the non-medical mass care, housing, and human services needs of individuals and/or families impacted by emergency incidents. Concept of Operations Some emergencies may necessitate evacuation of affected areas. Individuals and families may be deprived of normal means of obtaining food, clothing, shelter and medical needs. Family members may become separated and unable to locate each other. Individuals may develop serious physical or problems requiring specialized medical services. The responsibility for the provision of temporary emergency shelter and mass care for victims is the responsibility of the county government. Additionally, as a result of a major emergency/disaster affecting other jurisdictions within the Commonwealth of Virginia, the county may be requested to shelter evacuees. Sheltering, feeding and emergency first aid activities may begin before, during, or after an emergency. Staging of the Cumberland County Middle School may occur before the disaster when the emergency is anticipated. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 74 As a result of a disaster, citizens in affected areas may be without adequate food supplies. Every effort will be made to identify affected populations and supply them with adequate nutritional resources. Efforts will be made to coordinate among agencies providing information to create a Family Assistance Center (FAC) that will serve as a single unified inquiry points for families. The FAC will strive to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information available regarding the whereabouts and status of missing persons and/or disaster casualties (see Tab The responsibilities of this annex have been organized based on the ESF responsibilities identified in the National Response Framework. Each department’s responsibilities are organized based on those ESFs. The Social Services Branch is responsible for maintaining records of all expenses related to its emergency functions.

Scope The Governor of Virginia is the Commander-in-Chief of all forces in the Commonwealth organized under the DMA. The Adjutant General (TAG) of Virginia is the military commander. DMA staffs and mans its Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ). Within the JFHQ is the Joint Operations Center (JOC) that is operational 24/7. The Virginia Army National Guard, Virginia Air National Guard, and the Virginia Defense Force are three components that JFHQ-VA draw forces from to fulfill request for assistance requirements. ESF #16 in the County will not be staffed but rather exists as a coordinating entity. Coordination will occur between the Emergency Services Coordinator and the response assets on specifics as it relates to duties assigned. Concepts Cumberland County does not have military instillations within the jurisdiction and does not maintain stand-alone agreements with military assets. DMA units will not directly respond to requests for assistance from local officials except to save human life, prevent human suffering, or to prevent great damage to or destruction of property. DMA units will advise local officials to submit requests for assistance through the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC). Responsibilities The county will request a capability or need to the Virginia EOC as outlined in EOC procedures and ESF 7 Logistics. It is at the determination of the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) if DMA assets are best suited for the requested task. Assets will be limited to only accept missions or work assignments if within the original scope of deployment. Support cannot be transferred to another agency without prior approval. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 77 Once assets have been committed those responding will coordinate directly with local official to accomplish the objectives. Policies DMA units will not directly respond to requests for assistance from local officials except to save human life, prevent human suffering, or to prevent great damage to or destruction of property. DMA units will advise local officials to submit requests for assistance through the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC). Military assets are only available during a declared state of emergency. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 78 Tab 1 Family Assistance Center (FAC) The Family Assistance Center (FAC) is a physical facility established as the focal point for providing incident specific services to bereaved families, friends, and survivors; to enable those affected to gain as much information as is currently available about missing family members and friends prior to any release to the media; to enable the gathering of mass forensic samples in a timely manner, which enhances the ability to identify loved ones quickly; to offer access to a range of resources that will allow families and survivors to make informed choices according to their needs; and to ensure a seamless multi-agency approach to assistance in emergencies to reduce or avoid duplication. The scope of services that the local FAC may provide include: reunification services, behavioral health care, medical records collection, communication services, benefits application and personal care. The Cumberland Department of Social Services personnel will coordinate/determine a physical site for the local FAC operations, and assume oversight and management of the FAC including establishing operational policies, maintaining situational awareness, coordinating needed services and/or resources, identifying gaps and requesting additional resources. If a state FAC is requested, the Cumberland Department of Social Services will coordinate with the state representatives in locating and establishing the state FAC. The state will open and operate a FAC at the request of an affected locality in the absence of a local FAC plan or adequate local resources, or if the event occurs on property owned or operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any request for resources for a local FAC or the establishment of a state FAC will be coordinated through the county EOC. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 79 Dam Safety Support Annex Coordinating Agency Emergency Management Branch Cooperating Agencies Sheriff’s Office Cumberland County Department of Fire and EMS Department of Public Works Building Inspections Supporting State Agencies Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Purpose To facilitate the evacuation of residents or notification of the public in the event of an imminent or impending dam failure. Scope The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) provides detailed guidance to dam owners in developing emergency action plans and emergency preparedness plans in the event of dam failure. The County of Cumberland has also developed compatible procedures to warn and evacuate the public in the event of dam failure. Concept of Operations Dam owners are responsible for the proper design, construction, operation, maintenance, exercising, and safety of their dams. They are also responsible for reporting abnormal conditions at the dam to the Director of Emergency Management and the Coordinator of Emergency Management and to recommend evacuation of the public below the dam if it appears necessary. Owners of dams that exceed 25 feet in height and impound more than 50 acre-feet (100 acre-feet for agricultural purposes) of water must develop and maintain an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). This plan shall include a method of notifying and warning persons and of notifying local authorities in the event of impending failure of the dam. An EAP is one of three items required prior to issuance of an Operation and Maintenance Certificate by the Virginia DCR. In addition to the Virginia DCR, a copy of the plan must be provided to the city’s Director of Emergency Management and to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 80 Standards have been established for “Dam Classifications” and “Emergency Stages.” See Tab 1. The affected public will be routinely notified of conditions at the dam during Stage I. If conditions escalate to Stage II, emergency services personnel will immediately notify the public affected to be on alert for possible evacuation of the areas that would be flooded. If conditions deteriorate and overtopping or failure of a dam has occurred or is imminent, as in Stage III, the County Administrator and/or the Coordinator of Emergency Management and/or the Chairman/Director of Emergency Management will warn the public, order evacuation from the affected area, and declare a local emergency. The Director of Emergency Management or the on-scene incident commander is responsible for making the decision to order evacuation in the event of an imminent or impending dam failure. The Sheriff’s Office will disseminate the warning to evacuate. Authorities In addition to those listed in the Basic Plan: A. The Virginia Dam Safety Act, Article 2, Chapter 6, Title 10.1 (10.1-604 et seq) of the Code of Virginia B. Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board, Chapter 20 – Impounding Structure Regulations. 4VAC50-20-10 through 4VAC50-20-400 of the Virginia Administrative Code C. State Water Control Board, Regulation No. 9, Impounding Structure Regulations, May 3, 1983 Responsibilities Dam Owners • Develop an emergency action plan (or emergency preparedness plan) for warning and evacuating the Public in the event of dam failure; • Obtain an Operation and Maintenance Certificate from the Virginia DCR; • Provide plan copies to the locality, Virginia Departments of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and Emergency Management (VDEM); • Operate and maintain the dam to assure the continued integrity of the structure; • Conduct exercises to ensure responsible parties understand their role and appropriate response capabilities exist; and ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 81 • If an owner or the owner's engineer has determined that circumstances are impacting the integrity of the impounding structure that could result in the imminent failure of the impounding structure, temporary repairs may be initiated prior to approval from the board. The owner shall notify the Virginia DCR within 24 hours of identifying the circumstances impacting the integrity of the impounding structure. Law Enforcement Branch • Develop compatible procedures to warn and evacuate the public in the event of dam failure; • Notify public of possible dam failure; • Order immediate evacuation of residents in expected inundation areas; • Sound warning through use of sirens, horns, and vehicles with loudspeakers, Emergency Alert System, telephone calls, and door-to-door notification to evacuate individuals immediately out of the area or to high ground in area for later rescue; • Provide assistance to disaster victims; • Clean up debris and restore essential services; • Review emergency procedures used and revise, if necessary, to insure lessons learned are applied in future disasters; and • Determine what mitigation measures, if any, should be initiated (zoning, design of dams, etc.). ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 82 Tab 1 DAM CLASSIFICATIONS AND EMERGENCY STAGES Dam Classifications Dams are classified, as the degree of hazard potential they impose should the structure fail completely. This hazard classification has no correlation to the structural integrity or probability of failure. Dams which exceed 25 feet in height and impound more than 50 acre feet in volume, or 100 acre feet if for agricultural purposes, are required to obtain an Operation and Maintenance Certificate which includes the development of an emergency action plan administered by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. High- dams that upon failure would cause probable loss of life or serious economic damage Significant- dams that upon failure might cause loss of life or appreciable economic damage Low - dams that upon failure would lead to no expected loss of life or significant economic damage. Special criteria: This classification includes dams that upon failure would cause damage only to property of the dam owner. Emergency Stages When abnormal conditions impact on a dam, such as flooding or minor damage to the dam, the dam owner should initiate specific actions that will result in increased readiness to respond to a potential dam failure. The following stages identify actions and response times which may be appropriate. Stage I - Slowly developing conditions; five days or more may be available for response. Owner should increase frequency of observations and take appropriate readiness actions. Stage II - Rapidly developing conditions; overtopping is possible. One to five days may be available for response. Increase readiness measures. Notify local Coordinator of conditions and keep him informed. Stage III - Failure has occurred, is imminent, or already in flood condition; overtopping is probable. Only minutes may be available for response. Evacuation recommended.

Define the roles, responsibilities and authorities of city departments in responding to acts of terrorism and how these agencies will interface with state and federal authorities under the direction of a unified command. Establish procedures to report suspected, actual or threatened acts of terrorism to proper authorities through established channels of communication. Develop the appropriate resources, to include personnel, equipment, supplies and technical assistance, to and effectively respond to these types of events, as well as the capability to receive and integrate resources from within and outside the state system. SCOPE This plan is structured to quickly adapt to and meet the challenges of these situations by adopting the National Incident Management System (NIMS), consistent and flexible framework within which government and private entities at all levels can work in a coordinated manner to manage incidents. This framework facilitates adjusting, tailoring and transitioning response operations to effectively address threatened, suspected and actual acts of terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and/or weapons of mass casualty (WMC). The county EOC personnel and organization provide the framework and standard operating procedures that the county will use in responding to and recovering from acts of terrorism. ASSUMPTIONS The consequences of a terrorism event will exceed the capabilities of the county and require specialized assistance and support from a variety of regional, state, federal and military organizations. The effects of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear terrorist act will likely overwhelm local, regional, and state capabilities. A terrorist event such as a biological or radiological attack may not always generate the traditional incident scene or a clearly defined impact area. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 107 Terrorist events will occur with little or no warning and involve one or more of a variety of tactics and material chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE). Events may be individual in nature or involve multiple targets being impacted at different times or simultaneously, and involving one or more jurisdictions or regions. SITUATION All communities are vulnerable to threatened, suspected, and actual acts of terrorism. These events can occur anywhere and at any time. The fact that an emergency or disaster situation was a result of a terrorist act will not always be evident during the initial emergency response phase, and may not be determined until days, weeks, or months after the event has occurred. Intelligence gathering and tactical capabilities vary between jurisdictions as well as levels of government. The county has prevention initiatives to ensure as well as enhance the safety and security of industrial operations, critical facilities, and infrastructure and systems. Even with these efforts all stakeholders need to be vigilant in order for them to be effective. The Sheriff’s Office has identified facilities, critical infrastructure and systems located within the County of Cumberland that may be potentially at risk to acts of terrorism, in coordination with other local, state and federal agencies and military installations, as well as private sector institutions and systems. This information has been shared with the appropriate state and federal agencies. ORGANIZATION The organizational response framework to events involving acts of terrorism involves the coordination and interface of a variety of local, state and federal agencies that have certain authorities, responsibilities and jurisdiction by statute, executive order or presidential directive. These authorities may vary by the type of incident, the categorization of the incident, or geographic area involved and may transition by operational stage during an event. The Director of Emergency Management or designee will established the EOC as necessary to support field operations associated with one or more events. The EOC will be staffed with the EOP’s specified Branches and other specialized personnel as appropriate for the event. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 108 NATURE OF THE HAZARD The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) threat spectrum illustrated in Figure 1 is distinctive in terms of its range and depth, as well as the versatility it provides the initiating agent in structuring a single or complex event—or series of events—using one or more of the elements to generate the desired outcome(s). The spectrum ranges from common explosives, industrial chemicals, and radiological products found in medical labs and hospitals to the more extraordinary chemical biological warfare agents and nuclear material. These components of the spectrum provide the capacity to develop and tailor an attack to target one or more of the following: human or animal populations, agriculture, the environment, property, and critical infrastructure. Although the CBRNE threat spectrum has great range, depth, and versatility, explosives have been the most common weapons utilized in both international as well as domestic terrorist attacks. Use of explosives in terrorist attacks is widespread, as the resources and instructions to develop a bomb can be easily acquired. The execution of these tactics can be relatively simple—involving very little risk and producing the desired effects in an immediate and dramatic manner. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 109 Figure 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 110 Concept of Operations The county’s Emergency Operations Plan is a broad, function oriented, multi-hazard approach to disasters that can be quickly and effectively integrated with all levels of government. In the initial stages of response to and recovery from a terrorist event, the plan will provide the framework under which local resources will be deployed and coordinated. The Emergency Management Branch, at the direction of the Director of Emergency Management, will coordinate the response and recovery operations associated with consequence management. The Law Enforcement Branch will support the process by confirming the threat, initial investigation, as well as the apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrators of the terrorist act, in coordination with state and federal law enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the lead investigative agency as is directed in Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5. The county’s 911 Center will likely serve as the initial point for receiving notification of a terrorist event. Once the 911 Center is notified of a pending or executed terrorist incident, normal standard operating procedures will allow for notifications to be made to local departments, neighboring jurisdictions, regional response organizations, state and federal agencies, as appropriate. Response operations will be primarily concerned with identifying any hazardous materials involved and the associated risks to responders as well as the entire community; developing and implementing protective actions; developing and implementing strategies to effectively manage any long term health and environmental consequences of the incident, and assisting in the preservation of evidence on scene. Field operations will use the Incident Command System/Unified Command consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The Commonwealth’s Hazardous Materials Response Program will provide technical assistance and support regarding any hazardous materials issues (See Tabs 1 and Specific state hazardous material resources, including hazardous materials officers and teams, will be requested though the VEOC. In regard to explosives, the Virginia State Police, in coordination with local, regional and federal assets available, will provide technical assistance and support in this area. The Virginia Fusion Center serves as a repository for the collection and analysis of information regarding terrorist groups and their activities. The information developed and obtained by the Virginia Fusion Center may be relevant to consequence management, will be coordinated and shared with local government as necessary. The Sheriff’s Office will report any suspected, threatened or actual acts of terrorism to the Virginia State Police Criminal Intelligence Division Fusion Center and through the county EOC provide appropriate information to the Virginia Emergency Operations Center. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 111 The public information function will be handled by the county’s Public Information Officer until a Joint Information Center (JIC) can be established. If appropriate, a Joint Information Center will established, all press releases, press requests, and public protective action guidance will be developed, coordinated, reviewed, and disseminated through this organization. At a minimum, representatives from local government administration, Fire Service, Law Enforcement, Emergency Management as well as the appropriate state and federal agencies who may be involved in supporting the response FBI, DHS, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Virginia State Police, etc.) will comprise the JIC. Other agencies may be included as required to ensure an accurate, timely, and coordinated release of information to fulfill the needs of the public as well as the news media. Effectively managing the release of information during any event presents a variety of challenges to not only government officials, but to the media as well. The recovery process is comprised of the following: reentry, rapid assessment, damage assessment, the formulation of short- and long-term priorities within the context of basic needs and available resources, and the identification and implementation of appropriate restoration and development strategies to fulfill the priorities established, as well as ensure a successful recovery program. The Emergency Management Branch will manage the recovery effort in coordination with the Public Works Branch. ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 112 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 113 Tab 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- County of Cumberland, Virginia Emergency Operations Plan 2017 E m e r g e n c y O p e r a t i o n s P l a n 2 0 1 3 Page I 114 Tab 2 REGIONAL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONSE TEAMS PRIMARY AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY
