By October 15, 1981, you are requested to address these issues in sufficient detail indicating how you intend to correct these weaknesses in your Emergency Preparedness Program. Your response shall also include-target dates for com-pleting these actions.
1.
As presently structured it is not apparent that your Emergency Plan provides for a fonnalized classroom training and retraining program for all offsite, corporate and station personnel who may be called upon to respond to an emergency. Provide documentation indicating how this will be incorporated into your overall training program.
2.
Currently your Emergency Plan does not address the long term Recovery Organization. Provide a schedule for revising your Emergency Plan to cover the Recovery Organization.
If our understanding of your planned actions described above is not in accordance with your actual plans and actions being implemented, please contact this office by telephone (817) 465-8100, within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
