Station Order 17-058: Critical Facilities/Deputy Daily Worksheet and Damage Assessment


Station Order 17-057: Disaster Routes
Station Order 17-064: Contract Critical Facilities and Disaster Routes

A primary responsibility of Law Enforcement immediately following any earthquake is to gather information.  Resources cannot be rationally deployed to existing situations to minimize damage and/or loss of life, without accurate and timely information.

 

Each of the below listed PRIMARY Critical Facilities MUST be checked first for condition and damage assessment.

 

You would receive a call that would sound as follows: “Unit 291, 927C, Critical Facility #1, unit 291.”  You would then look on the Critical Facilities list, find the location of the facility and respond to that location.  You would make an assessment of the facility and then look on the below listed damage description, along with the corresponding code, and follow up with an MDT message that would read as follows: “Unit 291, Critical Facility #1, TL.”  You will see that “TL” on your abbreviated code means ‘Toxic Leak.’

 

After all Primary Critical Facilities have been checked and reported, each area unit will make an immediate AREA (RD) WIDE ASSESSMENT.

Some recommended areas of concern would be:

 

  • Flood Control Systems
  • Sewage Control Systems
  • Large Fires
  • Hazardous Materials Problems
  • Dams
  • Schools
  • Railroad Crossings
  • Any other sites which you feel are important

 

 

It will be your responsibility to maintain these Critical Facility Lists in your patrol vehicle and patrol box for use in an emergency and shall carry them with you while in the field.

You must also follow the instructions regarding the Deputy’s Daily Worksheet, see listed below.

 

 

CRITICAL FACILITIES

 

DEPUTY DAILY WORKSHEET INSTRUCTIONS

 

Following a major disaster, one of the largest problems that must be dealt with by Government Agencies, is justifying the operational cost recovery from Federal and State Relief Agencies.  In order to facilitate this process, several additional entries will be required on your MDT.

 

The following procedures will be instituted immediately upon the activation of the Critical Facilities Plan, or during any job related function required by a major operation or disaster:

 

    1. Upon receiving your first call regarding the Critical Facilities List, a major operation or disaster, enter the statistical code 781 in the clearance field.

 

    1. Before beginning the Damage Survey of a major operation or disaster, you must record the below listed items in the narrative section of your MDT:

 

        1. Make and Type of your vehicle, i.e. Ford sedan, etc.
        2. Last three digits of your vehicle’s odometer (ignore tenths).
        3. Your rank, i.e. Deputy Generalist, B-1, Sgt., Lt, etc.
        4. Your vehicle’s ending mileage.

 

Note - All of the above need only be listed in your first entry of the incident           with the exception of (D) ending mileage.
