1. Plan Overview

Plan Overview




1. Plan Overview

1.1 PurposeThe number one problem affecting the outcome of adisaster is poor management of the event. The purposeof this Disaster Operations Plan is to prevent injury, savelives, limit damage to the environment and property, andrestore business operations as soon as possible during orafter a disaster.

California’s Title 8 (Cal-OSHA’s General Industry SafetyOrder [GISO] §3221) requires each employer to developan “Emergency Action Plan” (EAP). This plan fulfills thatobligation.

The Ventura Regional Sanitation District (VRSD) is alsosignatory to the Standardized Emergency ManagementSystem (SEMS) with the Office of Emergency Services.Even though this plan is not intended to meet the re-quirements of the SEMS program, it is mentioned asreference only.

Finally, this plan is intended to be a “living document,”constantly evolving as equipment and processes changeand as regulations evolve in regards to acts of terrorismand sabotage.

1.2 ScopeThis Disaster Operations Plan is intended for use byVRSD personnel and local response agencies in dealingwith disaster situations which may arise involving theDistrict’s operations.

1.3 PolicyVentura Regional Sanitation District personnel shall betrained to respond to disasters within a limited scope. Atno time shall personnel put themselves in danger.Their duties are to control incidental releases of hazard-ous materials, fires, flooding, and other events for thepurpose of protecting personnel, property, and theenvironment.

This plan should not be enacted to deal with an emer-gency such as an accident, injury, fire or isolated eventthat does not have the potential to affect the entireorganization. It is the responsibility of the DisasterCoordinator to assess the situation and decide whether toactivate the Disaster Operations Plan.

Each employee must be familiar with the guidelines toensure proper actions are taken in a timely manner.

1.4 DefinitionFor the purposes of this Plan, a disaster is defined as anevent that has the potential to affect the entire operation,its personnel, equipment, and the entire community; forexample, an earthquake, flood, or other major event.

1.5 ResponsibilityThe General Manager is ultimately responsible to ensurethat the content of this plan is reviewed and trainedannually with all VRSD employees.

In the event of a disaster, Senior personnel are respon-sible to assist in the control of the incident by coordinat-ing the activities with VRSD personnel and other emer-gency crews and agencies as necessary.

This analysis can not cover every situation that couldarise. Therefore, it is imperative that responsible person-nel use good judgment when making an operational ordamage assessment.

1.5.1 Chain of CommandA chain of command has been established with clearlines of authority that may be different from theorganization’s customary chain of command, seePage 3.

1.5.2 Disaster Response TeamThe VRSD has established a Disaster Response Team(DRT) made up of the senior, most experienced operat-ing personnel with broad knowledge of District opera-tions, see Team Responsibility chart on Page 4. During adisaster, the Disaster Response Team is responsible to(1) assess damage, (2) mitigate further damage toequipment, buildings and environment, prevent potentialinjury to personnel; and (3) start the recovery process.

1.5.3 All Other Personnel

All personnel who are not assigned to the DisasterResponse Team shall follow instructions from theirimmediate supervisor. If ordered to evacuate, theyshould do so in an orderly fashion.

1.7 Disaster Vulnerability AnalysisAll facilities are vulnerable to some extent to any numberof disasters. This plan was developed by Senior opera-tors along with the consulting firm of Team Safety, Inc.Together, they have evaluated the potential harm topeople, property, and the environment from all types ofpotential disaster. Each facility was assessed for poten-tial fire hazards, potential for hazardous material release,water damage, computer damage, and environmentalexposures. Each site was photographed and criticalprocess equipment was identified. Then a plan of actionwas developed, as appropriate for each site.
