BASIC PLAN
1. INTRODUCTION
The Town of Marana (TOM), in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS), Title 26,
Chapter 2, Article 1, and TOM Code Chapter 2-3 Section 2-3-4 (E) is required to prepare and
respond to emergencies/disasters in order to save lives and protect public health and property.
TOM Resolution #2005-106 adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as
the standard for incident management.
The TOM Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) (this plan) addresses the consequences of any
emergency/disaster in which there is a need for TOM response and recovery assistance. It is
applicable to natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, technological emergencies
involving hazardous material releases, and other incidents requiring TOM assistance.
This plan describes the methods the TOM will use to mobilize resources and conduct
response and recovery activities. It uses a functional approach to group the types of assistance
under thirteen (13) Emergency Support Functions (ESFs). Each ESF is lead by one or more
primary agencies, which have been selected based on their authorities, resources and
capabilities. Other agencies have been designated as support agencies for one or more ESF(s)
based on their resources and capabilities to support the functional areas. The ESFs serve as
the primary mechanism through which TOM response and recovery assistance will be
provided.
The implementation response activities of this plan serve as the foundation for the
development of detailed TOM Department plans and procedures in a timely and efficient
manner.
A. Purpose
1. Establish the TOM emergency response and recovery organization for
emergencies/disasters.
2. Describe TOM response to and recovery from an emergency/disaster.
3. Describe the organization, assign responsibilities and provide planning
guidance to TOM agencies for disaster response/recovery.
4. Describe county/state/federal/private programs for individual and public
disaster assistance.
B. Scope
FINAL DRAFT 9 January 2006

provided to the extent that it does not conflict with other emergency missions
that TOM Departments are required to perform.
B. Assignments
This plan provides standing mission assignments to designate Departments with
primary and support responsibilities. Those Departments designated as primary
agencies serve under the Mayor, or his designee, in accomplishing the ESF missions.
Upon activation of an ESF, a TOM Department is authorized in coordination with the
Mayor, or his designee, to initiate and continue actions to carry out the ESF missions.
This may include tasking of designated support agencies to carry out assigned ESF
mISSIOns.
C. Donations
1. TOM government encourages financial contributions to private nonprofit
voluntary organizations involved in disaster relief, rather than the specific
donation of clothing, food and other goods. Should goods or services be
offered, the TOM will coordinate the transportation and distribution of only
those donations it accepts for use. To facilitate this policy, the TOM may issue
appropriate press releases in conjunction with the Arizona Y oluntary
Organizations Active in Disaster (AzYOAD). A central phone number will be
established (or tied in with the FEMA toll-free number established) for
handling donation inquiries and the Donations Coordinator will set up a
database for recording offers of goods and volunteers.
2. A Donations Coordinator will be designated by the Mayor, or his designee, to
work with AzYOAD and the Emergency Support Functions Primary Agencies
(ESFP As) in managing donations. The Donations Coordinator will ensure that
a database is made available to the ESFs to identify needed goods and services
or to respond to offers of goods and services. Should an ESFP A wish to take
advantage of the offer of donation items/service, that ESFP A will request that
the Coordinator to make the donations/services available.
D. Non-liability
1. The TOM will not be liable for any claim based upon the exercise or
performance, or the failure to exercise or perform, a discretionary function or
duty on the part of its political subdivisions or any employee of its political
subdivisions, excepting willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of
any such employee, in carrying out the provisions of this plan. ARS 26-314
also covers volunteers and employees of another municipality, county, or state
rendering aid in the TOM.
2. ARS 26-314 and 26-353 provides immunity to licensed, certified or authorized
emergency responders and their employees at the scene of an emergency, when
FINAL DRAFT 9 January 2006

1. An emergency/disaster may overwhelm the capabilities of local government to
provide a timely and effective response. The occurrence of a catastrophic
event in a high-risk, high population area will cause casualties, property loss,
disruption of normal life support systems, and impact the regional economic,
physical and social infrastructures.
2. An emergency/disaster has the potential to cause substantial health and
medical problems, with the possibility of hundreds of deaths or injuries,
depending on factors such as time of occurrence, severity of impact, existing
weather conditions, area demographics and the nature of local building
construction. Deaths and injuries could occur from the collapse of man-made
structures and collateral events, such as fires and mudslides.
3. An emergency/disaster may cause significant damage to local economic and
physical infrastructure. Significant events can multiply property losses and
hinder the immediate response efforts by damaging or destroying highways,
airports, railways, communications, water, waste disposal, electrical power,
natural gas and petroleum transmission systems.
B. Planning Assumptions
1. An emergency/disaster will likely occur with little or no warning and may
produce casualties and widespread damage. This plan assumes that the
response capability of the affected local community may be quickly
overwhelmed.
2. A large number of casualties and/or the significant damage to buildings,
structures and the basic infrastructure will necessitate County, State and
possibly Federal government assistance to support local authorities in
conducting lifesaving and life-support efforts.
3. Minimization of deaths and injuries requires an immediate mobilization of
TOM, County, State and Federal search and rescue personnel, medical
personnel, and supplies and equipment to the area affected by the emergency.
C. Disaster Declaration Process
The provisions of this plan are applicable to all emergencies/disasters that require a
Proclamation of a State of Emergency by the Mayor, or his designee. Local
emergency/disaster activities and requests for disaster assistance will be made in
accordance with the following procedures:
1. TOM Government
a. When an emergency/disaster situation exceeds, or is likely to exceed
the scope of control and resources of the TOM considered essential for
an effective response/recovery, the Mayor, or his designee, may
FINAL DRAFT 9 January 2006

Departments are responsible for managing the activities of the ESF and
ensuring that missions are accomplished. Primary departments have the
authority to execute response operations.
3. Department missions, organizational structures, response actions, primary and
support agency responsibilities are described in the ESFs.
4. Primary Departments will work with their support agencies to provide
assistance. Primary departments will use the ESF Annexes of the plan as a
basis for developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
5. Support Departments will assist the primary Department in preparing and
maintaining SOPs and will provide support for ESF operations. Each support
agency will:
a. Designate two department staff members responsible for coordination
with the primary department for all actions related to this plan.
b. Participate in the process of exercising, reviewing, maintaining and
implementing this plan.
c. Provide qualified representatives to the TOM EOC or operational
locations as required.
6. The Mayor, or his designee, will coordinate TOM activities and assist in
identifying all response and recovery requirements.
7. The Mayor, or his designee, will oversee the TOM EOC response supporting
field operations.
8. Response under this plan will be based on situational needs to provide
response and recovery utilizing ESFs.
9. The majority of all disaster response organizations within the TOM operate
under the TOM Incident Command System (ICS) which complies with
National Incident Management System (NIMS).
B. Organization
Procedures under this plan are composed of county and local government and private
agencies. The response structure is designed to be flexible in order to accommodate
response and recovery requirements. County departments provide support to the TOM
Departments that implement on-scene response operations.
1. Community Response Structure
The TOM will produce an EOP in support of the Pima County EOP. The TOM
