Setting the Stage – Audience Survey
Who has experienced a fuel shortage?
Who has an Emergency Fuel Plan?
Who knows the amount of fuel they will need on:
Day 1 of a Regional Outage?
Day 3 of a Regional Outage?
Day 10 of a Regional Outage?
What is the name of your fuel provider?
Challenge of Assuring Emergency Fuel Supply Emergency fuel availability and distribution to utilities
has emerged in the last few years as a priority need, along with better communication and coordination among Bay Area critical infrastructures and key resources (CIKR)
Was a key lesson learned in the H1N1 pandemic and reinforced by subsequent disasters, most recently Super Storm Sandy
The CIKR Bay Area Emergency and Security Information Collaborative (CIKR BAESIC) was created early in 2011 to focus on resilience and recovery
At its first meeting in April “11, emergency fuel was identified as priority issue
Planning Objectives
Determine what we know and don’t know about our resilience to provide fuel for essential initial recovery activities, including:
What plans, capabilities, and logistics are currently in place for emergency fuel supply delivery
Identification of the preparedness gaps for all aspects of emergency fuel supply and delivery
Ideas for how to collectively address these gaps

Format and Process of TTX
The TTX was set up as an informal discussion using the 1906 San Francisco San Andreas Fault earthquake scenario that is being used for CalEMA’s 2013 Golden Guardian Exercise and the California National Guard’s Exercise United Response
After a short scenario overview, participants will have an opportunity to:
Say a few words about their organization and operational issues related to emergency fuel provision
Discuss a series of questions designed to illuminate issues, gaps, and a path forward to further examine emergency fuel-related issues and potential areas of improvement
Agenda
11:30 Welcome & Introductions – TTX Leader and Participants
11:35 Overview of Today’s Exercise: Objectives, Expected Outcomes, and Process with some Observations – TTX Leader
11:45 Get Lunch

Session 1: Scene Setter
Scenario
On Wednesday, January 16, at 9:00 a.m. a M7.8 earthquake occurs on the San Andreas Fault, rupturing a 300 mile length of the fault with severe ground shaking that causes extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure, liquefaction and subsidence, displacement along the faults, and widespread landslides
19 California countries from Monterey to Humboldt are affected with greatest damage to Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, and Santa Rosa
Scene Setter, cont.
115,000 homes and 10,000 commercial buildings are extensively damaged or destroyed, 3,300 people killed, 650,000 displaced, and 330,000 require emergency shelter
There is massive damage to lifelines and other infrastructure, including ruptured water, waste water, natural gas and fuel pipelines, and damage to chemical and other production facilities; fire storms from gas explosions and downed power lines; damaged and disrupted communications assets; and toxic emissions
These impacts are greatly exacerbated by collocated and interdependent systems and assets
Close to a third of Bay Area customers are without power, with full restoration to most areas not expected for several days to weeks
Remains of an Apartment complex Loma Prieta, 1989 (USGS)
Scene Setter, cont. Transportation
1300 miles of road closures, destruction of 600 bridges and damage to 320 others
San Francisco and areas along the coast are isolated to all but water and helicopter transportation
On major freeways, where possible, at least one lane in each direction is available to responders
Transportation is further impeded by massive debris from structures and infrastructure rubble (bridges, overpasses and roadways, downed towers, telephone poles, and trees), landslides and boulders, dead animals and hazardous materials, including widespread sewage spills
Rail service to the Bay Area, the ports, and airports are closed down due to damage and liquefaction
Mass transit in impacted areas is closed down or in limited service
Bridges appearing undamaged are closed pending inspection, which may take weeks
Challenges Associated With Emergency Fuel Provision Refineries and fuel storage and distributions systems are
shut down, creating an immediate shortage of fuel for ground, air, and marine transportation, and emergency generators
May not resume operation for months depending on the extent of damage and need for safety inspections
Utilities and other essential service providers typically have limited fuel storage capacity and have similar fuel needs for:
• Service vehicles
• Emergency power generators
• Transport to bring in essential staff and mutual aid assistance
• Will be competing for whatever fuel may be available
Challenges Associated With Emergency Fuel Provision, cont. Key issues—
How much emergency fuel would utilities require and for how long?
How would utilities
Coordinate on fuel needs and priorities?
Communicate their need for fuel to the Regional EOC?
How would decisions be made at the REOC on fuel distribution to needy utilities and other essential service providers?
What assistance could the National Guard or military provide in support of civil authorities to help deliver fuel?
Pre-Event Questions
For Utilities and Fuel Providers
1. How many days of fuel (gasoline, diesel, or propane) does your organization typically have in storage, including reserves for emergencies?
2. What are your continuity plans for resuming operations under this scenario to deal with:
Damage to critical equipment associated with fuel (storage tanks, piping, pumps, etc.)?
Interdependencies (e.g., lack of power, available trucks, and transportation access; availability of drivers and other key staff)?
Pre-Event Questions, cont.
For Fuel Providers
1. What are the constraints that may limit fuel provision?
Access to fuel source?
Safety or other regulations?
Could your operations be required to shut down under this scenario? If so, for how long?
2. Do you have contractual agreements with customers for fuel delivery in emergencies and plans for how to set priorities under this scenario?
Questions on Event plus 3 - 5 days
For Utilities
1. Given the worst case scenario of damage to systems/assets:
What types of fuel (gasoline, diesel, propane) would be needed for different types of emergency generators, in what amounts, and for what envisioned period of time?
What types of fuel (gasoline, diesel) and how much would be needed for transportation for:
Increased staffing for a 24 hour operation?
Mutual aid coming into the area (expected number and fuel requirement)?
Employees for travel to and from work?
Your contractors’ fuel for work they are performing on your behalf?
Event plus 3 - 5 days, cont.
2. How would you request assistance for fuel, or vehicles and drivers to convey fuel, to the Regional EOC?
3. How would you communicate with other utilities and fuel providers on regional fuel availability and coordinate priority distribution issues?
4. What types of assistance might you require through the Regional EOC from the National Guard and military support to provide necessary fuel?
Event plus 3 - 5 days, cont.
For Fuel Providers
5. What would you expect in requests for increased fuel deliveries and how could you accommodate such requests?
6. What Mutual Assistance networks do you have that could assist?
7. What communications mechanisms are in place to coordinate with other fuel providers or activate mutual assistance agreements?
8. What waivers may be necessary to temporarily lift additive restrictions/bring in fuel from outside the state and how would your organization obtain them?
9. What types of assistance might you need through the Regional EOC from the National Guard and military support to provide fuel to key customers, utilities, and other priority service providers?
