1. ESITRODUCTION
Pima County, in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS), Title 26, Chapter 2, Article 1, and
Pima County Ordinance, Chapter 9, is required to prepare and respond to emergencies/disasters in
order to save lives and protect public health and property.
The Pima County Emergency Operations Plan (this plan) addresses the consequences of any
emergency/disaster in which there is a need for county 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 county assistance.
This plan describes the methods the county will use to mobilize resources and conduct response and
recovery activities. It uses a functional approach to group the types of assistance under 10
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 County
response and recovery assistance will be provided. The Director of the Pima County Health
Department is the designated Director of the Office of Emergency Management (OEM). County
assistance will be provided under the coordination of the Director, OEM.
The implementation response activities of this plan serve as the foundation for the development of
detailed county agency plans and procedures in a timely and efficient manner.
A. Purpose
Establish the county emergency response and recovery organization for
emergencies/disasters.
2. Describe county response to and recovery from an ernergency/disaster.
Describe the organization, assign responsibilities and provide planning guidance to
county agencies for disaster responsetrecovery.
4. Describe county/state/federal/private programs for individual and public disaster
assistance.
B. Scope
This plan applies to all county agencies which are tasked to provide response and
recovery assistance. It describes county actions to be taken in providing immediate
response assistance.
2. Local government means any incorporated community, unincorporated community
and special district located within the county.
3. Emergency response assistance includes those actions and activities that save fives,
protect public health and safety, and protect property. The identified actions and
activities in this plan, carried out under the ESFs, are based on existing county, state
and federal statutory authorities or on specific functional mission assignments made
under the provisions of PL 93-288, as amended; Title 26, Chapter 2, as amended; and
as identified in the ESF Annexes to this plan.
4. This plan addresses county/statelfederal recovery assistance programs. Recovery
activities may be conducted concurrently with response activities.
An emergency/disaster may result in a situation that affects the national security of the
United States. For those instances, appropriate security authorities and procedures
will be utilized to address national security requirements.
C. organization
This plan consists of the following:
I The Basic Plan describes the purpose, scope, situation and concept of operations of
county response activity.
2. The Functional Annexes to the Basic Plan are identified as ESFs. Each ESF describes
the policies, situation, planning assumptions, concept of operations and responsibilities
for the primary and support response organizations.
3. The Appendices to the Functional Annexes/ESFs describe specific hazard response
activities.
H. POLICIES
A. Authorities
Under Pima County Code, Chapter 9.16.090, and through this plan, the Director,
OEM may direct any county agency to utilize its authorities and resources.
2. Response by county agencies to lifesaving and life protecting requirements under this
plan has precedence over other county response activities, except where national
security implications are determined to be of a higher priority. Support from agencies
will be provided to the extent that it does not conflict with other emergency missions
that an agency is required to perform.
This plan does not supplant the existing authority for the State Nuclear Emergency
Plan as outlined in ARS 26-3 05. 0. 1.
2
B. Assignments
This plan provides standing mission assignments to designated agencies with primary and
support responsibilities. County agencies designated as primary agencies serve under the
Director, OEM in accomplishing the ESF missions. Upon activation of an ESF, a primary
agency is authorized in coordination with the Director, OEM to initiate and continue actions
to carry out the ESF missions. This may include tasldng of designated support agencies to
carry out assigned ESF missions.
C. Response Requirements
County assistance provided under Chapter 9.16.090 supplements local government response
efforts. ESF Primary Agencies (ESFPA) win coordinate with the Director, OEM and the
affected local government to identify specific response requirements and will provide county
response assistance based on identified priorities.
D. Resource Coordination
Each ESFPA will provide resources using its authorities and capabilities, in
coordination with other support agencies. ESF agencies will allocate available
resources based on identified priorities. If resources are not available within local
government, the ESFPA will seek to provide them from another source. If the
resource is unavailable, the requirement will be forwarded to the County Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) Logistics Support Group for further action.
2. if a conflict of priorities develops as a result of more than one agency needing the
same resource, the affected agencies will work directly with the Director, OEM to
resolve the situation. If the Director, OEM cannot resolve the conflict, the matter will
be referred to the County Executive Policy Group for final resolution. The EOC will
serve as a central information source regarding availability of resources.
E. Recovery Operations
The Director, OEM is responsible for coordinating recovery activities. Recovery operations
will be initiated based on the availability of resources that do not conflict with response
operations.
F. operating Facilities
Several operating facilities have been identified to facilitate the movement and utilization of
personnel and resources within the county.
Single support facilities, (e.g., casualty collection points), are used primarily to support
the operations of a single ESF.
2. Multiple support facilities are used to support the operations of several ESFs. Multiple
support facilities include the following:
a. EOC is maintained by Tucson-Pima County Office of Emergency Management
(OEM) to coordinate county response. OEM personnel and representatives
from the ESF primary agencies staff the EOC. It serves as the initial point-of-
contact for affected local governments, county and state response agencies, the
national Emergency Support Team (EST) and federal responding agencies. In
the event the EOC becomes inoperable or uninhabitable, an alternate EOC win
be established at an appropriate location.
b. Point of Departure (POD) is a designated location (normally an EOC or
ESFPA operating location) outside a disaster-affected area from which
response personnel and resources will deploy to a disaster area.
Point of Arrival (POA) is the designated location (usually a staging area) near
the disaster site where arriving staff, supplies, and equipment are directed.
Upon arrival, personnel and resources are dispatched to the Disaster Field
Office (DFO), a Mobilization Center (MC), Staging Area (SA), or directly to a
disaster site. The following airports/military installations located within the
state can handle large cargo and passenger type aircraft. One or more of these
sites will normally be designated as the POA. Numerous smaller airfields
which handle smaller cargo and passenger type aircraft are located throughout
the state and could be designated as Assembly Points (AP) or Base Camps
(BC).
(1) Tucson International Airport can handle any cargo/passenger type
aircraft up to and including the C-5. Numerous facilities can be made
available for storage. Cargo handling equipment and personnel are
readily available.
(2) Davis Monthan Air Force Base can handle any cargo/passenger type
aircraft, up to and including the C-5. Numerous facilities can be made
available for storage. Cargo handling equipment and personnel are
readily available.
(3) Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma (Yuma International Airport) can
handle any cargo/passenger type aircraft up to and including the C-5.
Numerous facilities can be made available for storage. Cargo handling
equipment and personnel are readily available.
(4) Libby Army Airfield, Fort Huachuca can handle cargo/ passenger type
aircraft up to and including the C-5. Cargo handling equipment and
personnel are readily available.
4
(5) Marana National Guard Base (Pinal Air Park) can handle
cargo/passenger type aircraft up to and including the C-5. Some
facilities are available for storage. Cargo handling equipment and
personnel are normally available.
(6) Marana Northwest Regional Airport can handle passenger aircraft up
to and including the Gulf Stream 5 (G-V), and cargo aircraft up to and
including the C-130. Some facilities are available for storage and a
cargo apron is available.
G. Multi-Coummunity Response
One or more emergencies/disasters may affect a number of communities concurrently. In
those instances, county government will conduct multiple response operations for each
declared community. A haison will be appointed to coordinate the specific requirements for
response and recovery within that community. Under multiple community declarations, ESF
agencies will be required to coordinate the provision of resources to support the operations of
all of the declared communities.
H. Donations
I County 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 county will coordinate
the transportation and distribution of only those donations it accepts for use. To
facilitate this policy, the county will issue appropriate press releases in conjunction
with the Arizona Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (AzVOAD). A central
phone number will be established (or tied in with the FEMA toll-free number
established) for handling donation inquiries and set up a database for recording offers
of goods and volunteers.
2. A Donations Coordinator will be designated by the Director, OEM to work with
AzVOAD and the ESFPAs in managing donations. OEM 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 ESFPA wish to take advantage of the offer of
donation items/service, that ESFPA will request the Coordinator to make the
donations/services available.
Non-liability
Under ARS 26-314 the county 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. This statute also covers volunteers and
employees of another county/state rendering aid in this county.
5
2. Under ARS 26-3 5 3 a licensed, certified or authorized emergency responder and its
employees at the scene of an emergency, when the emergency response is provided in
good faith, have the immunities provided in ARS 26-314 in carrying out the provisions
of this article. The immunities provided in ARS 26-314 also apply to governmental
entities, multi-jurisdictional planning organizations that encompass each district,
members of each local emergency planning committee and their support personnel in
carrying out the provisions of this article.
Mutual Aid
ARS 26-309 establishes the following provisions for mutual aid:
a. The purpose of this law is to facilitate the rendering of aid to persons or
property in areas within the county/state stricken by an emergency and to make
unnecessary the execution of written agreements in times of emergency. Any
emergency plan, duly adopted and approved, satisfies the requirement for
mutual aid agreements.
b. During an emergency, if the need arises for outside aid in any county, city or
town, such aid may be rendered in accordance with approved emergency plans.
C. The Director, OEM may, on behalf of this county, enter into reciprocal aid
agreements or compacts, mutual aid plans or other intrastate arrangements for
the protection of life and property with other counties and state government.
Such mutual aid arrangements may include the furnishing of supplies,
equipment, facilities, personnel and services.
d. The majority of the counties have subscribed to Arizona Division of
Emergency Management sponsored County Master Mutual Aid Agreement.
K. Emergency Public Information
Emergency public information activities will be undertaken to ensure the coordinated, timely
and accurate release of a wide range of information to the news media and to the public about
disaster related activities. These activities will be carried out from the EOC or from the Joint
Information Center QIQ. They win be staffed with federal (in the event of an emergency or
major disaster declaration by the President), state, county, local, and volunteer organizations
and in some instances commercial public information representatives. Information intended
for the news media and the public will be coordinated prior to release with the Federal
Coordination Officer (FCO)/State Coordination Officer (SCO), other county/state/federal
agencies and local officials.
6
After-Action Reports
Following county response to an emergency/disaster, OEM will coordinate the preparation of
an after-action report documenting the county response effort. Within seven workdays
following the termination of a declared disaster, each agency involved in the response effort
will provide OEM with an after-action report outlining that agency's involvement in the
disaster.
III. SITUATION AND ASSUNVTIONS

An emergency/disaster may overwhehn 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
An emergency/disaster may occur with little or -no warning and produce maximum
casualties and widespread damage. This plan assumes that the response capability of
the affected local community will be quickly overwhelmed.
2. The 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.
7
Minimization of deaths and injuries requires the immediate response of county, state
and federal search and rescue personnel, medical personnel, and supplies and
equipment to.
4. County agencies may need to respond on short notice to provide effective and timely
assistance to local governments. This plan designates assigned missions for county
agencies to expedite the provision of response assistance to save lives, alleviate
suffering and protect property.
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 Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
Local emergency/disaster activities and requests for disaster assistance Will be made in
accordance with the following procedures:
a. Town/City Government
(1) Emergency response agencies from town/city government will respond
to an emergency/disaster within their corporate limits, coordinate
activities in accordance with their standard operating procedures
(SOP), Emergency Operations Plan and Mutual Aid Agreements.
(2) When an emergency/disaster situation is, or is likely to exceed the
scope of control and resources of the town/city considered essential for
an effective responselrecovery, the Mayor, or town/city council of an
incorporated town/city may proclaim a local emergency. The local
emergency Proclamation shall be forwarded to the Director, OEM in an
expedient manner, (i.e., voice followed by hard copy).
(3) When a local emergency has been proclaimed, the Mayor Will govem
by Proclamation and has the authority to impose all necessary
regulations to preserve the peace and order of the town/city, including
but not limited to:
(a) Imposing curfews in all or portions of the town/city
(b) Ordering the closure of any business
(c) Closing to public access any public building, street or other
public area
(d) Calling upon regular and/or auxiliary law enforcement agencies
and organizations
(e) Providing/requesting mutual aid to/from other political
subdivisions
8
(f) Obtaining commitments of local resources in accordance with
emergency plans
b. Indian Nations/Tribes
(1) Indian Nations/Tribes located within the county are recognized as
sovereign nations. The residents of these Indian Nations/Tribes are
also citizens of the county within which they reside. An
emergency/disaster may occur for which the members of the
Nation/Tribe cannot provide satisfactory resolution. County/state/
federal involvement for resolution of the situation requires that the
Indian Nation/Tribe assume the same configuration as an incorporated
community within the county. The Indian Nation/Tribe will issue a
Local Emergency Resolution to the associated county/counties for
resolution of their emergency.
C. County Government
(1) Upon receipt of the Proclamation of a local emergency from an
incorporated town/city of the county, the Chairman of the Board of
Supervisors shall:
(a) Provide available assistance requested to contain the incident
(i.e., sheriff, public works, health, etc.)
(b) Notify ADEM that a situation exists which may require the
Proclamation of a county emergency.
(2) In the event a situation exists in the unincorporated portions of the
county which may affect lives and property, the county will take
necessary measures to bring the situation under control utilizing all
county government resources.
(3) If the situation in either incorporated or unincorporated portions of the
county is beyond the capability and resources of the county to control,
the Board of Supervisors or the Chairman may proclaim a local
emergency to exist in accordance with ARS 26-3 11 and execute all or
portions of this plan.
(4) The local emergency Resolution and an Application for Assistance will
be forwarded to the Director, ADEM.
(5) The Director, ADEK will advise the Governor of the situation and the
Governor may proclaim a State of Emergency and execute all or
portions of the State Plan.
(6) The Governor may declare an emergency in the absence of a
county/local request.

(7) Upon execution of the State Plan, the Director, ADEM will initiate
state response by notifying the appropriate agencies tasked as ESFPA's
to that plan. These agencies will take appropriate actions in
accordance with the State Plan and agency SOPs.
(8) Request for assistance from the National Guard will be forwarded to
the Director, ADEM. The Director will evaluate the request and make
appropriate recommendations to the Governor, or if the National
Guard has been activated, relay the request to the Military Affairs
Division.
d. Federal Government
(1) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) monitors
developing or actual disaster occurrences. Before, during and after a
disaster, the FEMA Regional Director is in close contact with the
Governor's office and ADEK as well as with federal agencies having
disaster assistance responsibilities and capabilities. When federal aid is
needed, the Governor or Director, ADEK will contact the FEMA
Regional Director for advice and assistance.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

B. Activation/Notification
This plan is effective for execution upon notification to the county that a HazMat
incident has occurred.
C. Response Actions
Local response actions
On-scene command and control is the responsibility of the jurisdiction in which the
incident occurs. The local incident commander (IC) is in charge of all personnel at the
scene. Agencies will maintain supervisory control of their personnel. Local
emergency response agencies should make an immediate appraisal of the situation and
its potential. USDOT's North American Emergency Response Guidebook provides
basic information to assist on-scene officials in selecting protective actions.
Responders should:
a. Establish scene management.
b. Detect the presence of HazMat.
C. Begin product identification.
d. Begin evacuation or direct in-place sheltering as appropriate.
e. Consider personal protection/decontamination.
f Isolate incident and identify zones of activity.

Contingency Plan and Notification Protocol.
j. Seek additional appropriate resources if the event exceeds, or is expected to
exceed, the capability of local resources, including mutual aid. State assistance
may be requested through the State On-Scene Coordinator (SOSC) or the
Department of Public Safety (DPS) Duty Officer (DO).
8-4
2. Private sector actions
a. The private sector (e.g., Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA), facility
operators, shippers, carriers, etc.) may be able to provide the IC with technical
advicelrecommendations or provide speciaUed personnel/equipment needed
for response/recovery operations.
b. Private cleanup contractors under county contract will initiate HazMat cleanup
and disposal at the direction of the IC.
C. Private entities (i.e., responsible parties) may use a contractor of their choice.
Command and control
a. In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120(q)(3), county response to HazMat
incidents will be managed under the Pima County Incident Command System
(PCICS). On-scene command and control is the responsibility of the
jurisdiction in which the incident occurs.
b. County response to HazMat incidents will be managed using PCICS under
three general circumstances:
(1) Response to a local jurisdiction - When a local jurisdiction has legal
responsibility for response and is the IC, the Pima County Office of
Emergency Management Coordinator (OEMC) will serve as a resource
initially through the liaison officer at the command post. Additional
county resources may be assigned to other functional areas within the
command structure at the direction of the IC. The IC will coordinate
requests for county assistance with the OEMC.
(2) Response to state lands - The state is responsible for incidents
occurring on state lands. In those situations, the state win be the IC
and direct responding state and other resources.
(3) Response by both the county and a political subdivision - When legal
responsibility rests with both the county and another jurisdiction, the IC
will be identified in coordination with the PCICS.
4. Containment
Local and state emergency responders should minimize the spread of a spilled material
by preventing the material from:
a. Entering a body of water (e.g., lakes, streams, canals, etc.);
b. Spreading over land;
C. Entering sewer or drainage systems; and
d. Becoming airborne.
8-5
D. Continuing Actions
Recovery
a. The responsibility/liability for cleanup lies with the entity responsible for the
release/incident (40 CFR, part 300). Contamination should be minimized and
cleanup expedited by emergency responders.
b. Cleanup operations should be initiated using the Mowing guidelines:
(1) Cleanup wifl be initiated if there is an immediate threat to public health
and safety.
(2) If the responsible party accepts responsibility, local/state officials wiU
monitor cleanup to ensure environmental standards are met.
(3) If the responsible party is unknown or refuses to accept responsibility
and local government does not have the capability or funds for cleanup,
the State On Scene Coordinator (SOSC) wiU assess the situation. The
SOSC wiU then request use of the Governor's Emergency Fund (GEF),
the Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund (WQARF) (ARS 49-282)
or other ftinding sources available through DEQ.
2. Additional notifications

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose
Establish a concept of operations for county Consequence Management of a Weapon
of Mass Destruction (WMD) or terrorist incident.
B. Scope
County response to a terrorist incident includes three major components, which may
operate concurrently or consecutively.
a. Crisis management response involves measures to identify, acquire and plan the
use of resources to anticipate, prevent and/or resolve a terrorist threat or
incident. Crisis Management response is implemented under the primary
jurisdiction of the FBI, local law enforcement offices, and the Department of
Public Safety (DPS).
10-1
b. Consequence Management response:
(1) Involves measures to alleviate the damage, loss, and hardship or
suffering caused by emergencies.
(2) Includes measures to protect public health and safety, restore essential
government services and provide emergency relief to affected county
agencies and political subdivisions.
(3) Is implemented under the primary jurisdiction of the affected political
subdivision.
C. Technical operations constitute an important support component to the Crisis
Management and Consequence Management response to a WMD incident and:
(1) Addresses aspects of WMD material that is not encountered in routine
operations; and
(2) Involves measures to:
(a) Identify the WMD agent or device;
(b) Assess the threat posed;
(c) Provide consultation to decision makers;
(d) Render safe transfer/disposal; and
(e) Decontaminate responders/victims/envirorunent.
11. POLICIES
A. United States policy on counter-terrorism establishes the framework for the roles,
responsibilities and coordination of responding agencies.
Pima County Sherifrs Department will be the Crisis Management County Agency
(LCA).
2. The Arizona Department of Public Safety will be the Crisis Management Lead State
Agency (LSA).
3. The Department of Justice (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will be the
Crisis Management Lead Federal Agency (LFA).
B. Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) establish the roles, responsibilities and coordination of state
responding agencies.
1 . Tucson-Pima County Office of Emergency Management will be the Consequence
Management LCA.
2. Federal Emergency Management Administration will be the Consequence
Management LFA.
3. Arizona Department of Emergency Management will be the Consequence
Management LSA.
10-2
C. ARS Title 26 establishes the concept of a single focal point, OEM, for emergency/disaster
response.
During Crisis management, other agencies provide guidance/assistance to the FBI as
indicated in the FBI Incident Contingency Plan. OEM will coordinate the response of
all Consequence Management agencies, to support the FBI and supporting law
enforcement agencies. This support will continue until the U.S. Attorney General
transfers the lead agency role to Consequence Management.
2. The decision to transition between the Lead Agency (LA) roles will be assigned when
the federal responsibility to contain the risk of further escalation has been over
shadowed by the state/local responsibility to provide relief
D. OEM's response has in a terrorist incident:
Prior to the event, will be contingent upon Sherff s and FBI's response and
establishment of a Joint Operations Center (JOC).
2. Provide a liaison and support staff to the JOC Command Group.
3. Determination by the Director, OEM, of gaffing for the OEM liaison to the JOC.
III. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A. Single Threat or Multiple Threats
A terrorist incident may involve threats against one or more targets within the state.
These may or may not be unrelated incidents. The FBI will establish coordination
relationships between FBI field offices, ADEM, OEM and local authorities.
B. Disaster Response to a Crime Scene and/or Hazardous Materials Site
In a terrorist incident, the area of operations may be a federal crime scene, hazardous
materials site and disaster area, which may span the borders of neighboring counties,
nations and states. To organize complex on-scene operations, operational boundaries
need to be defined with common terminology and procedures. Operational boundaries
may be used to control access to the area, target public information messages, assign
operational sectors among responders and assess potential effects on the population
and the environment. Physical location of these boundaries will depend on the type
and quantity of hazardous materials involved.
a. The crime scene boundary defines the law enforcement crime scene area.
Access to the crime scene may be restricted on authority of the FBI, DPS and
local law enforcement.
b. The hazardous material boundary defines the hazardous materials site, which
may be called the hot zone (biological/chemical). The hazardous materials site
may include some portions of the crime scene. Access to this area may be
restricted to personnel wearing personal protective clothing and using safety
decontamination procedures.
10-3
C. The emergency/disaster boundary identifies the community-at-risk that may
take protective actions such as shelter, evacuation or quarantine. Access to
this area may be restricted.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. Increased Readiness
In preparation for special events, law enforcement may notify appropriate agencies to
increase readiness. OEM supports law enforcement by identifying Consequence
Management issues and coordinating with appropriate Consequence Management
agencies. OEM cooperation may include planning, training and exercises and drills.
B. Crisis Management Response
U.S. Code provides that the FBI has primary jurisdiction over criminal acts of
terrorism. Presidential Decision Directive 39 (PDD-39), U.S. Policy on Counter
Terrorism reaffirms the FBI's responsibility for Crisis Management response to
terrorist incidents. The FBI fiinctions as the on-scene management for the federal
government. State and local law enforcement agencies will provide assistance as
requested by the FBI On-Scene Commander (OSC).
2. The FBI Field Officer responsible for the incident site will modify its command post to
function as a JOC. The FBI OSC will keep statellocal Consequence Management
representatives informed of developments in the Crisis Management situation. This
allows state/local EOC's to conduct concurrent Consequence Management planning in
cooperation with FEMA.
C. Consequence Management Response
Preparedness phase: The FBI may notify FEMA of a significant threat. The FEMA
National Emergency Coordination Center (NECC) and the Mobile Emergency
Response Support (MERS) Operations Center (MOC) supporting Region IX may
issue an alert to selected FEMA officials. FEMA Region IX may then notify the
Director, ADEK who may notify the Director, OEM who may notify local emergency
response agencies.
2. Response phase: In case of an actual incident interagency operations will transition
immediately from Crisis Management to Consequence Management. Local emergency
services will set priorities for response concentrating on preservation of fife and
establishment of security. ADEM will provide coordination and support.
2. Recovery phase: In response to a terrorist release of a WMD that occurs without
warning, OEM will immediately activate the EOC and commence Consequence
Management operations and coordinate county/state/federal agencies response assets.
This includes technical operations providing agent monitoring, decontamination and
long-term restoration.
10-4
a. in the event a terrorist incident does not occur, state/local emergency
management, in consultation with local law enforcement, will resume normal
operations.
b. If a terrorist incident does not occur, Consequence Management operations
will continue until recovery can be conducted locally. Some technical
operations may continue beyond disengagement to support local governments
with long-term hazard monitoring, decontamination and site restoration.
V. ORGANIZATIONAL ROLES AND RESPONSEBILITIES
A. OEM will:
Serve as the accountable agency to the County Administrator.
2. Establish liaison with JOC.
3. Cooperate with law enforcement to resolve Consequence Management/Crisis
Management conflicts.
4. Coordinate priority/action plans with law enforcement for Consequence Management
response.
Prepare briefings/reports with law enforcement.
6. Participate in a Joint Information Center to coordinate public information of the
responding Consequence Management agencies with the media and the public.
B. Pima County Health Department will coordinate with ADHS to implement the U. S -
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Health and Medical Services Support
Plan. This plan will include threat assessment, consultation, agent identification,
epidemiological investigation, hazard detection and reduction, decontamination, public health
support, medical support and pharmaceutical support operations.
C. Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) will Coordinate with ADEQ to
implement the National Contingency Plan (NCP). The NCP coordinates environmental
response and provides for environmental monitoring, decontamination and long term site
restoration (environmental clean up) operations using the CERCLA Trust Fund.
D. in terrorist incidents involving nuclear material, the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency
(ARRA) is the LSA. The LSA will implement Federal Radiological Emergency Response
Plan (FRERP) to coordinate radiological response, and will assess the situation, develop
protective action recommendations, and serve as the primary state source of technical
information regarding on-site conditions and off-site radiological effects.
E. Other Consequence Management Agencies will:
Establish an operational structure to coordinate chain-of-command structures for
local/county/statelfederal agencies. This plan uses a multi-agency operational
structure that functions within the principles of the National Interagency Incident
Management System, Incident Command System, Unified Command (UC).
10-5
3. Using Unified Command the local or statelfederal law enforcement retains control of
Crisis Management actions. On-scene decisions are made cooperatively by command
group at the JOC in consultation with local/county/state/federal representatives.
4. On-scene decisions will be made cooperatively by a Consequence Management
command group at the EOC in consultation with technical advisors and on-scene
personnel.
VI. Plan Development and Maintenance
A. Reviews/updates to the ESF will be provided by the Pima County SheriTs Department.
