STATE Name Description Legal C. LOCAL Name Description Legal 1) The purpose of this annex is to outline the local organization, operational concepts, responsibilities, and procedures to accomplish coordinated public works, engineering activities, and to prevent, protect from, respond to, and Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K6 recover from temporary disruptions in utility services that threaten public health or safety in the local area. 2) This annex is not intended to deal with persistent shortages of water due to drought or prolonged statewide or regional shortages of electricity or natural gas. Measures to deal with protracted water shortages are addressed in the drought plans that must be maintained by each public water supply utility. Resolving protracted water shortages normally requires long-term efforts to improve supplies. Measures to deal with widespread energy shortages are normally promulgated by state and federal regulatory agencies. Local governments may support utility efforts to deal with long-term water and energy supply problems by enacting and enforcing conservation measures and providing the public information pertinent to the local situation.

SITUATION 1) See the general situation statement and hazard summary in the Basic Plan. 2) This county anticipates emergency situations may occur which threaten public health, safety, and property. An emergency situation of this nature may require emergency public works and engineering services. 3) As noted in the general situation statement and hazard summary, our area is vulnerable to a number of hazards. These hazards could result in the disruption of electrical power, telephone service, water, and wastewater services as well as natural gas service. 4) Public utilities are defined as those companies and organizations authorized to provide utility services, including electricity, water, sewer service, natural gas, and telecommunications to the general public in a specified geographic area. Utilities may be owned and/or operated by a municipality, a regional utility authority, investors, or by a private non-profit organization such as a member cooperative (CO-OP). 5) The loss of utility services, particularly extended utility outages, could adversely affect the capability of local personnel to respond to and recover from the emergency situation that caused the disruption of utility service and create additional health and safety risks for the general public. 6) The utilities serving our community include: a) Electric. b) Water/Wastewater. c) Telephone. d) Natural Gas. e) Cable. Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K8 7) Additional information on these utilities is provided in Attachment B to this annex. 8) The state and/or federal government regulate most utility providers. State regulators include: a) Public Service Commission. b) Department of Environmental Quality. c) Department of Public Health & Human Services. 9) Virtually all utilities are required by state regulations to have emergency operations plans for restoring disrupted service. Many utilities maintain emergency operation centers. Those that do not normally have procedures to establish temporary facilities when they need them. 10) Extended electrical outages can directly impact other utility systems, , particularly water and wastewater systems. In areas where telephone service is provided by above-ground lines that share poles with electrical C, lines, telecommunications providers may not be able to make repairs to the telephone system until electric utilities restore power lines to a safe condition. 11) Municipal utilities and private non-profit utilities, such as electric cooperatives, may be eligible for reimbursement of a portion of the costs for repair and restoration of damaged infrastructure in the event the emergency situation is approved for a Presidential Disaster Declaration that includes public assistance. B. ASSUMPTIONS 1) Employing public works and engineering personnel and equipment during pre- disaster operations should minimize disaster damage. Advance preparation of personnel and equipment may also hasten restoration efforts. 2) Public works and engineering may have insufficient resources to remove the debris created by a major emergency or disaster and accomplish other recovery tasks. 3) Public works & engineering are expected to accomplish expedient repair and restoration of essential services and vital facilities. Depending on the scale of the operation(s), major reconstruction initiatives will likely require contract assistance. 4) Public works and engineering will be able to organize and carry out debris Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K9 clearance in the aftermath of an emergency. Large-scale debris and/or hazardous material operations, however, will likely require external assistance. 5) Private construction companies, engineering firms, and equipment rental contractors have staff and equipment that may be contracted to carry out public works and engineering activities during emergency situations. However, local government may have to compete with businesses and individuals seeking those resources for repairs or rebuilding. 6) Assistance may be available from other jurisdictions through inter-local agreements and from commercial firms through contingency contracts. Some types of emergency situations, including earthquakes and floods, may affect large areas and make it difficult to obtain assistance from the usual sources. 7) Damage to chemical plants, power lines, sewer and water distribution systems, and secondary hazards, such as fires, may result in health and safety hazards. These hazards could pose a threat to public works and engineering personnel and impede operational capabilities. 8) Alternate disposal methods and facilities may be needed as local landfills and waste disposal facilities may prove inadequate to deal with large amounts of debris. Special considerations must be made if the debris has been contaminated with chemicals or petroleum products. 9) If local capabilities prove inadequate to deal with a major emergency or disaster, state and/or federal resources will be available to assist in debris removal and restoration of essential services. 10) In the event of damage to or destruction of utility systems, utility operators will restore service to their customers as quickly as possible. 11) A major disaster, or one affecting a wide area, may require extensive repairs and reconstruction of utility systems that may take considerable time to complete. 12) Damage to electrical distribution systems and sewer and water systems may create secondary hazards such as increased risk of fire and public health hazards. 13) Each utility will use its own resources and plan to carryout its own response operations, coordinating as necessary with local government and with other utilities. 14) Individual utility operators, particularly small companies, may not have sufficient physical or monetary resources to restore utility systems affected by a major disaster or one having widespread effects. Utilities typically Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K10 obtain supplementary repair and restoration assistance from other utilities pursuant to mutual aid agreements and by using contractors hired by the utility. 15) Equipment and personnel from other city departments and agencies may be employed to assist a municipal utility in repairing its systems and restoring service to the public. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. GENERAL 1) The tasks to be performed during emergency situations include: a) For slow developing situations, take actions to protect government facilities, equipment, and supplies prior to the onset of hazardous conditions. Cn b) Provide heavy equipment support for search and rescue operations. ' . c) Conduct damage-assessment surveys of public facilities, roads, bridges, ' and other infrastructure. d) Inspect damaged structures. e) Clear debris from roadways and make repairs to re-open transportation arteries. f) Make expedient repairs to essential public facilities to restore operations or protect them from further damage. g) Remove debris from public property and manage debris disposal operations for public and private property. h) Assist in controlling public access to hazardous areas. 2) Incident activities for the utilities function will include work in an Incident Command System (ICS) environment with an Incident Commander (IC), maintaining communications with the IC, the GCCC, and implementing local and regional mutual aid agreements as required. 3) In the event of a loss of utility service, local government is expected to 1) rapidly assess the possible impact on public health, safety, and property, and 2) take appropriate actions to prevent a critical situation from occurring or to minimize the impact in accordance with the Continuity of Operations Plan. Where utility service cannot be quickly restored, city and county governments Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K11 will have to take timely action to protect people, property and the environment from the effects of a loss of service. 4) Local governments are not expected to direct utility companies to repair utility problems. Utilities have a franchise that requires them to provide service to their customers, and they have the ultimate responsibility for dealing with utility service outages. Virtually all utilities are required by state regulations to make all reasonable efforts to prevent interruptions of service and, if interruptions do occur, to reestablish service in the shortest possible time. Utilities are required to inform state officials of significant service outages and expected to keep customers and local officials informed of the extent of utility outages and, if possible, provide estimates of when service will be restored. 5) Local governments that own or operate utilities are responsible for restoring service to local customers and may commit both their utility and non-utility resources to accomplish the task. 6) For utilities that are not government-owned, local government is expected to coordinate with those utilities to facilitate their efforts to restore service to the local area. 7) The county should identify critical local facilities and establish general priorities for restoration of utility service. This list of priorities must be communicated to the utilities serving those facilities. Examples of critical facilities are included in Annex P (Hazard Mitigation). 8) Attachment D provides a sample of initial utility restoration priorities for critical facilities. These priorities are based on general planning considerations; they should be reviewed and, if necessary, updated based on the needs of a specific situation. 9) Utility companies may not be able to restore service to all critical facilities in a timely manner, particularly if damage has been catastrophic, a substantial amount of equipment must be replaced, or if repairs require specialized equipment or materials that are not readily available. In large-scale emergencies, utility companies may have to compete with individuals, businesses, industry, government, and other utility companies for manpower, equipment and supplies. B. PROTECTING RESOURCES & PRESERVING CAPABILITIES 1) Public works and engineering may be employed during slow developing emergency situations to protect and limit damage to government facilities, equipment and essential utilities. Protective actions may include sandbagging, building protective levees, ditching, installing protective window coverings, or removing vital equipment. Public works and engineering are expected to Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K12 identify buildings and other infrastructure that will benefit from protective measures and, in coordination with the departments or agencies that occupy those facilities, carry out necessary protective actions. 2) If time permits, public works and engineering are also expected to take action in advance of an emergency situation to preserve response and recovery capabilities by protecting vital equipment and supplies. It is desirable for agencies to enter into advanced agreements with other agencies or jurisdictions to ensure the safety and security of vital equipment and resources. C. SEARCH & RESCUE Public works and engineering may be required to provide heavy equipment support for search and rescue operations, particularly support for search operations in collapsed buildings. See Annex R (Search & Rescue) for more information. D. LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO A UTILITY OUTAGE , Cn 1) It is essential for elected officials to obtain an initial estimate of the likely duration of a major utility outage from the utility as soon as possible for response actions to begin. Once that estimate is obtained, local officials should make a determination of the anticipated impact and determine the actions required to protect public health, safety and property. 2) Extended utilities outages may require action to protect public health, safety and property. Such actions may include: Water or Sewer Outage a) Curtail general water service to residents to retain water in tanks for firefighting and for controlled distribution to local residents in containers. b) Arrange for supplies of emergency drinking water for the general public and for bulk water for those critical facilities that require it to continue operations. c) If sewer service is disrupted, arrange for portable toilets and hand- washing facilities to meet sanitary needs. Electrical or Natural Gas Outage a) Obtain emergency generators to power water pumping stations, water treatment facilities, sewage lift stations, sewage treatment facilities, fueling facilities, and other critical sites. See Attachment B to this annex for more information. Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K13 b) During periods of cold weather, establish public shelters for residents who lack heat in their homes. c) During periods of extreme heat, establish "cooling sites" for residents who do not have air conditioning in their homes. d) Request that volunteer groups set-up mass feeding facilities for those without electrical or gas service who cannot prepare meals. e) Coordinate with ice distributors to ensure ice is available locally to help citizens preserve food and medicines. f) Arrange for fuel deliveries to keep emergency generators running at critical facilities. Telecommunications Outage a) Request telecommunications providers implement priority service restoration plans. b) Activate amateur radio support. c) Request external assistance in obtaining additional radios and repeaters or satellite telephones. General a) Isolate damaged portions of utility systems to restore service quickly to those areas where systems are substantially undamaged. b) In cooperation with utilities, institute utility conservation measures. See Attachment D to this annex for more information. c) Disseminate emergency public information requesting conservation of utilities. d) Assist in relocating patients of medical facilities, residential schools, and similar institutions that cannot maintain the required level of service for their clients. e) Provide law enforcement personnel to manage traffic at key intersections, if traffic control devices are inoperative. f) Consider staging fire equipment in areas without electrical or water service. Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K14 I g) Consider increased security patrols in areas that have been evacuated due to the lack of utility service. h) See Annex M (Resource Management) for planning factors for emergency drinking water, ice, portable toilets, and food. E. DAMAGE ASSESSMENT 1) The Authority Having Jurisdiction for building inspections will lead damage assessments of public buildings, homes, and businesses. The AHJ for public works will lead damage assessments of roads, bridges, and utilities. 2) The AHJ for building inspections should inspect damaged structures. Inspections are conducted to identify unsafe structures and, if necessary, take actions to restrict entry and occupancy until the structures can be made safe. 3) Damaged buildings posing an immediate threat to public health and safety should be appropriately posted to restrict public access pending repairs or , demolition. Local ordinance or regulation provides for expedited demolition of structures that pose a threat to public health during emergency situations. , F. FACILITATING UTILITY RESPONSE 1) Local officials may facilitate utility response by: a) Identifying utility outage areas reported to local government. Although many utility systems have equipment that reports system faults and customer service numbers for people to report problems, outage information reported to local government can also be helpful. b) Asking citizens to minimize use of utilities that have been degraded by emergency situations. See Attachment D for utility conservation measures. c) Identifying local facilities for priority restoration of utilities. d) Coordinating with the utility on priorities for clearing debris from roads, which also provides access to damaged utility equipment. e) Providing access and traffic control in utility repair areas where appropriate. 2) Large-Scale Emergency Situations a) In large-scale emergency situations, which produce catastrophic Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K15 damage in a limited area (such as a tornado) or severe damage over a wide area (such as an ice storm), utilities are typically faced with a massive repair and rebuilding effort that cannot be completed in a reasonable time without external support. In such circumstances, utilities typically bring in equipment and crews from other utilities and from specialized contractors. In these situations, utilities may request assistance from the county in: i. Identifying lodging for repair crews — hotels, motels, school dormitories, camp cabins, and other facilities. ii. Identifying restaurants to feed crews or caterers who can prepare crew meals. iii. Identifying or providing a staging area or areas for utility equipment coming from other locations and providing security for such areas. iv. Obtaining water for repair crews. V. Identifying operational sources of fuel in the local area. G. PROTECTING RESOURCES & PRESERVING CAPABILITIES 1) In the event of a slowly developing emergency, it is possible that utilities may be able to mitigate some of the effects of a major emergency or disaster by protecting key facilities and equipment. The critical facilities/key resources within our community are identified in Attachment B. 2) In the event of a flooding threat, facilities such as sewage or water-treatment constructing dikes, sandbagging, or using pumps to prevent water from entering the facility may protect facilities or electrical substations. In some cases, in an effort to preserve pumps, electrical control panels, and other vital equipment, it may also be prudent to remove that equipment from facilities to prevent damage due to rising water. 3) In the event of hazardous materials spills in rivers or lakes used for water supplies, contamination of water distribution systems may be avoided by temporarily shutting down water intakes. 4) Loss of power could severely affect critical functions such as communications, water pumping, purification, distribution, sewage disposal, traffic control, and operation of critical medical equipment. Critical facilities that require back-up electrical power should have appropriate generation equipment on site if possible. If this is not feasible, emergency generator requirements should be determined in advance to facilitate timely Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K16 arrangements for such equipment during emergency situations. Attachment F provides forms to record information on existing backup generators and to identify requirements for additional emergency generators. The Utility Coordinator will provide such forms to facility operators to complete and maintain a file of completed forms for both existing generators and potential generator requirements. H. TEMPORARY REPAIRS & RESTORATION 1) Public works and engineering is expected to make timely temporary repairs to government-owned buildings and other infrastructure essential to emergency response and recovery operations. Building contents should be removed or restricted until the restoration process is complete. Personnel should coordinate with building occupants to determine which areas and equipment have the highest priority for protection. 2) Hazardous situations may result in damage to computers storing vital government records and/or hard copy records, such as building plans, legal documents, and tax records. When computers or paper records are damaged, , it is essential to obtain professional technical assistance for restoration as soon as possible. , 3) It is generally impractical to restore buildings sustaining major damage during the emergency response phase. Major repairs will normally be postponed until recovery operations commence and will typically be performed by contract personnel. I. UTILITY SUPPORT FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE OPERATIONS The assistance of utility providers may be needed to support other emergency response and recovery operations. Such assistance may include: 1) Rendering downed or damaged electric lines safe to facilitate debris removal from roadways. 2) Cutting off utilities to facilitate the emergency response to fires, explosions, building collapses, and other emergency situations. 3) Facilitating search and rescue operations by cutting off electrical power, gas, and water to areas to be searched. 4) Establishing temporary utility hookups to facilitate response activities. Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K17 J. UTILITY SUPPORT FOR DISASTER RECOVERY OPERATIONS 1) Utilities play a primary role in the recovery process and must coordinate closely with local government to: a) Render electrical lines and gas distribution lines safe before local officials authorize re-entry of property owners into affected areas to salvage belongings and repair damage to their homes and businesses. b) Participate in inspections of affected structures to identify hazards created by damaged utilities and eliminate those hazards. c) Determine the extent of damage to publicly owned utility infrastructure and equipment. d) Restore utility systems to their pre-disaster condition. K. PUBLIC INFORMATION 1) It is essential to provide the public current information on utility status, the anticipated time to restore service, recommendations on dealing with the consequences of a utility outage, conservation measures, and information on sources of essential life support items such as water. Locally developed emergency public information relating to utility outages should be developed in coordination with the utilities concerned to ensure that messages are accurate and consistent. 2) In some emergency situations, many of the normal means of disseminating emergency public information may be unavailable and alternative methods of getting information out to the public may have to be used. 3) Utilities are complex systems and service may be restored on a patchwork basis as damaged components are repaired or replaced. Some neighborhoods may have utility service restored while adjacent neighborhoods are still without power or water. In some cases, one side of a street may have power and the opposite side may not. In these circumstances, the quality of life for local residents can often be significantly improved by using public information messages to encourage those who have working utilities to take in their neighbors who do not. This approach can also significantly reduce the number of people occupying public shelters and using mass feeding facilities. Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K18 L. REQUESTING EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE 1) The Montana Water/ Wastewater Agency Response Network (MTWARN) provides a mechanism for water utilities to share resources among members. See Attachment A for information on MTWARN. 2) Any agency can request assistance through the Montana Intrastate Mutual Aid System (IMAS). See Attachment D for information on IMAS. M.

GENERAL 1) The PEO shall, pursuant to NIMS, provide general guidance for the public works and engineering function and, when necessary, approve requests for state or federal resources. 2) The Incident Commander (IC) will manage public works and engineering emergency resources committed to an incident site and shall be assisted by a staff commensurate with the tasks to be performed and resources committed to the operation. If the EOC is not activated, the IC may request additional resources from local departments and agencies. The IC may also request authorized officials to activate mutual aid agreements or emergency response contracts to obtain additional resources. 3) The GCCC will be activated for major emergencies and disasters. When the GCCC is activated, the Public Works Officer will manage the emergency public works and engineering function from the GCCC. The IC shall direct resources committed to the incident site and coordinate resource requests through the Public Works Officer. The Public Works Officer shall manage resources not committed to the incident site and coordinate the provision of additional resources from external sources. 4) The Public Works Officer will respond to mission priorities established by the IC or the EMDO, direct departments and agencies with public works and engineering resources to accomplish specific tasks, and coordinate task assignments to achieve overall objectives. 5) The Public Works Officer will identify public and private sources from which needed resources can be obtained during an emergency and coordinate with the Resource Manager to originate emergency procurements or to obtain such resources by lease, rental, borrowing, donation, or other means. 6) A major emergency or disaster may produce substantial property damage and debris requiring a lengthy recovery operation. In such incidents, it may be desirable to establish a Debris Removal Task Force to manage debris removal and disposal. The task force may continue to operate even after the GCCC deactivates. See Attachment A for the organization and responsibilities of this element. Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K30 7) Normal supervisors of public works and engineering personnel participating in emergency operations will exercise their usual supervisory responsibilities over assigned personnel, subject to NIMS span of control guidelines. Organized crews from other jurisdictions responding pursuant to inter-local agreements will normally operate under the direct supervision of their own supervisors. Individual volunteers will work under the supervision of the individual heading the team or crew to which they are assigned. 8) The PEO will provide general direction for the local response to major utility outages that may affect public health and safety or threaten public or private property and may, within the limits of legal authority, direct implementation of local measures to conserve utilities. 9) The Incident Commander, to protect lives and property, can make operational decisions affecting all incident activities and workers at the incident site. The Incident Commander normally may assign missions to utility crews from government-owned or operated utilities that utility managers have committed to an incident or request other utilities to perform ' specific tasks to facilitate the emergency response. , 10) The Utility Coordinator will monitor utility response and recovery operations, C, receive situation reports from utilities and disseminate these to local officials and the SOC, identify local utility restoration priorities to utility providers, coordinate utility support for the Incident Command Post, facilitate local government support for utility response and recovery efforts, request resource support from utilities, and perform other tasks necessary to coordinate the response and recovery efforts of utilities and local government. 11) Utility managers will normally direct the emergency response and recovery activities of their organizations. Their normal supervisors will generally direct utility crews. 12) Utility crews responding from other areas pursuant to a utility mutual aid agreement and contractors hired by utilities to undertake repairs will normally receive their work assignments from the utility which summoned or hired them. Organized crews will normally work under the immediate control of their own supervisors. X. ADMINISTRATION & SUPPORT A. RESOURCE SUPPORT 1) A listing of local public works and engineering equipment is provided in Annex M (Resource Management). Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K31 2) Should our local resources prove to be inadequate during an emergency, requests will be made for assistance from other local jurisdictions, other agencies, and industry in accordance with existing mutual-aid agreements and contracts. 3) If the public works and engineering resources available locally, from other jurisdictions, and from businesses pursuant to contracts are insufficient to deal the emergency situation, assistance may be requested from the state. The PEO should approve requests for state aid, which should be forwarded to Montana DES. Cities must request resource support from their county before requesting assistance from the state. 4) In general, utilities are responsible for obtaining and employing the resources needed to make repairs to or reconstruct their systems. a) Local governments may commit their non-utility resources to assist the utilities they own or operate in responding to emergency situations. Local governments may also utilize their utility resources in responding to non-utility emergencies unless local statutes preclude this. b) In general, local governments may not use public resources to perform work for privately owned companies, including utility companies. Privately owned utility companies are expected to use their own resources and additional resources obtained through mutual aid. They may also contract services in response to emergency situations. Most electric and telecommunications utilities are party to mutual aid agreements that allow them to request assistance from similar types of utilities within the region, within the state, or from other states. Some water and gas companies may also be party to mutual aid agreements. Many privately owned utility companies have contingency contracts with private contractors for repair and reconstruction. c) Although local government may not use its resources to perform repair work for privately owned utilities, it may take certain actions to facilitate the response of utilities, whether public or private, to an emergency situation. 5) In the event of a utility outage, the County/City is expected to use its own resources and those that it can obtain pursuant to mutual aid agreements or by contracting with commercial suppliers to protect public health and safety as well as public and private property. In the event that these resources are insufficient to deal with the situation, the County/City may request state resource assistance. Requests for state assistance should be made or Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K32 authorized by the PEO; cities must first seek assistance from their County before requesting state assistance. B. KEY FACILITIES 1) A listing of key local facilities, providing a general priority for damage assessment, debris clearance, and repair, is contained in Annex G (Law Enforcement). The IC shall determine the specific priority for public works and engineering work on each of these facilities in the aftermath of an emergency. 2) The Utility Coordinator will ensure all utilities that serve the County/City are provided copies of the restoration priorities for local critical facilities. See Attachment D. C. REPORTING & RECORDS Reporting , Cn 1) In addition to reports that may be required by their parent organization, public ' . works and engineering departments and agencies participating in emergency operations should provide appropriate situation reports to the IC, or if an ' incident command operation has not been established, to the GCCC. Pertinent information will be incorporated into the Initial Emergency Report and periodic Situation Reports. The essential elements of information for the Initial Emergency Report and the Situation Report are outlined in Annex N (Direction and Control). 2) During major emergencies, the Utilities Coordinator should coordinate with utilities serving the local area to obtain information on their operational status, the number of customers and areas affected, and the estimated time for restoration of service. If possible, a schedule of periodic reporting should be established. 3) The Utilities Coordinator should provide utility status information to the GCCC staff and provide utility status inputs for the Initial Emergency Report and periodic Situation Reports prepared during major emergencies and disasters. See Annex N (Direction & Control) for information regarding these reports. Records 1) Expenses incurred in carrying out emergency response and recovery operations for certain hazards may be recoverable from the responsible party, insurers, or as a basis for requesting reimbursement for certain allowable costs from the state and/or federal government. Hence, all public works and engineering elements will maintain detailed records of labor, materials, Gallatin County EMP,Annex K(Community Infrastructure), 7/24/12, Page K33 equipment, contract services, and supplies consumed during large-scale emergency operations 2) Certain expenses incurred in carrying out emergency response and recovery operations for certain hazards may be recoverable from the responsible party or, in the event of a Presidential disaster declaration, partially reimbursed by the federal government. Therefore, all government-owned or operated utilities should keep records of labor, materials, and equipment used and goods and services contracted for during large-scale emergency operations to provide a basis for possible reimbursement, future program planning, and settlement of claims. 3) Municipal utility districts and electric cooperatives are also eligible for federal assistance in a Presidential declared disaster. Estimates of damage to these utilities should be included in damage reports submitted by the County/City to support a request for federal assistance. Hence, such utilities should be advised to maintain records of repair expenses as indicated in the previous paragraph in order to provide a basis for possible reimbursement of a portion of those expenses. D. POST-INCIDENT REVIEW 1) For large-scale emergency operations, the PEO shall organize and conduct an after action critique of emergency operations in accordance with the guidance provided in Section X.G of the Basic Plan. The After Action Report will serve as the basis for an Improvement Plan. 2) Our Basic Plan provides that a post-incident review be conducted in the aftermath of a significant emergency event. The purpose of this review is to identify needed improvements in plans, procedures, facilities, and equipment. Utility managers and other key personnel who participate in major emergency operations should also participate in the post-incident review. 9 ; A. DEVELOPMENT & MAINTENANCE 1) The County/City Public Works Officer is responsible for developing and maintaining this annex. 2) This annex will be reviewed annually and updated in accordance with the schedule outlined in the Basic Plan. 3) Departments and agencies assigned responsibilities in this annex will develop and maintain SOP covering those responsibilities.
