6 A. There are storage facilities that Emergency 7 Management has identified as well as Red Cross where 8 cots and other bedding materials are located in all 9 areas of the State. These entities would be better i

10 able to give you the specific information as to where 11 that bedding would come from. Adequate clothing and 12 food will be provided through the North . Carolina 4

13 Department of Corrections. This office will 3

14 coordinate the delivery of such food and clothing and

6 A. These items would be brought in from the Red Cross l

7 and other institutions. Clothing and bedding from 8 the Department of Correction could be loaded and 9 ready for shipment to the emergency site within three 10 hours. The Red Cross could furnish additional 11 blankets and cots within 4 to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months .

13 blankets available from their eastern region 14 operations. The Red Cross has 1,200 cots and 300 15 blankets stored at the Fort Bragg Army Base, and 600 16 blankets stored at Seymour Johnson Air Base for 17 delivery to on-site within four to six hours.

18 Representatives of the Salvation Army have indicated 19 that within four to six hours they will provide 20 clothing in the quantities shown in Mr. Needham's 21 testimony. There are approximately 2,000 cots and 22 1,000 blankets available at Red Cross Chapters 23 throughout the state that could be on-site within I

9 A. These items would be brought in from the Department 10 of Agriculture and the Department of Correction i 11 warehouses. Initial supply of prepared foods would 12 be made available from the closest Agriculture 13 Department warehouse in Salisbury. Agriculture also 14 has a central warehouse located in Butner. The North 15 Carolina counties involved with the Catawba Plant 16 have a three to four weeks supply of food that could 17 be made available through the county school system

! 18 warehouses. The attached chart, marked as Attachment 19 A, identifies the Red Cross and U.S. Department of 20 Agriculture food commodities. (JEN) l 21 Q. HAVE YOU SATISFIED YOURSELF THAT THE SUPPLIES OF l

22 THESE NECESSITIES ARE ADEQUATE TO MEET THE NEED?

23 A. Yes. We are satisfied we have adequate supplies to l 24 meet most contingencies, and we still have the option 25 to solicit aid from adjoining states,- and the federal 26 government. (JEN, JTP)

1 Q. HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT ESTIMATING THE POTENTIAL NEED?

2 A. The total population within the Emergency Planning 3 Zone in the State of North Carolina was used as the 4 criterion for estimating our potential needs. (JTP, 5 JEN) 6 Q. ARE THERE SOURCES FOR FURTHER SUPPLIES OF THESE 7 NECESSITIES SHOULD THAT BE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON?

8 A. Practically unlimited supplies are available from 9 unaffected areas of the state and contiguous state 10 and federal sources. Depending on the number of 11 citizens needing assistance and the duration of the 12 emergency we might very well solve our supply needs ,

13 by contacting institutional stores controlled by the 14 Department of Correction. We could draw.on these 15 stores for a considerable period based on their 16 running inventories. We plan to use these supplies 17 as in any other emergency. Providing supplies for 18 this emergency is the same as for all other 19 emergencies or disasters planned for within the 20 State. (JTP, JEN) 21 Q. TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO AVAIL 22 YOURSELF OF THESE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES?

23 A. Resources available require no prior arrangements.

24 The state and local agencies from which the resources 25 will come are equipped for responding to emergencies j 26 and only phone calls will be necessary to furnish j l

l I

l 1

S 1 on-site support. These supplies fluctuate from week 2 to week; however, the supplies are always 3 substantial. The Secretary of the Department of 4 Correction has signed the Catawba plan, and a 5 telephone call is all that will be required to 6 release any needed resources of food. Bedding, 7 clothing, and cots will also be available from the 8 Red Cross and Salvation Army as well as local 9 government. (JTP, JEN) 10 Q. DOES THE STATE RELY SOLELY UPON 14 RECEPTION 11 CENTERS / SHELTERS FOR PROCESSING AND REGISTERING EPZ 12 RESIDENTS? IF NOT, PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR PLANS IN 13 THIS AREA.

14 A. North Carolina presently has 38 shelters Which have 15 been designated to support the Catawba Plan. There 16 will be no reception centers. Evacuees will be 17 registered only at these shelter sites. (JTP) 18 Q. HOW MANY PERSONS CAN THE 38 SHELTERS HANDLE UNDER THE 19 CATAWBA PLAN?

20 A. We are prepared for the worse case situation and can 21 handle in these shelters at least 70,000 to 80,000

! 22 evacuees. (JTP) 23 O. DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT REGISTRATION OF POTENTIAL -

24 EVACUEES WILL POSE ANY PROBLEMS OF OVERCROWDING OR 25 DELAY OF EVACUATION 7

, 26 A. No. (JTP) 1

e 1 O. IN THE EVENT OF OVERCROWDING, WHAT STEPS WILL YOU 2 TAKE7 3 A. If there is overcrowding, we would be able to 4 activate additional shelters, as needed, in six or 5 seven surrounding counties. (JTP) 6 O. WHAT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES WILL BE FOLLOWEG?

7 A. Standard Red Cross procedures will be utilized.

8 These procedures were established in consultation 9 with the division of Social Services. (JTP) 10 Q. WHO WILL ADMINISTER THOSE PROCEDURES?

11 A. The assigned shelter registrar and the first evacuees 12 arriving will assist as necessary. The number of 13 registrars can be expanded or contracted to meet the 14 need. To expand, the early evacuees are utilized to 15 assist with the registration process and shelter.

16 operations. Adequate staffs have been assigned 17 within the plan. (JTP) 18 Q. DOES THE AGENCY OR INSTITUTION WHICH WILL ADMINISTER 19 THOSE PROCEDURES HAVE EXPERIENCE IN ADMINISTRATION OF 20 SHELTERS AND REGISTERING EVACUEES IN OTHER EVACUATION 21 SITUATIONS?

22 A. Yes. In the area of the Catawba Nuclear Plant the 23 Red Cross and Department of Social Services are 24 responsible for shelter administration. Each has 25 experience in the administration of shelters, having 26 successfully handled the victims of the 1977 floods, I

4 1 the recent 1983 chemical spill in Iredell County, the 2 most recent tornado disaster, as well as numerous 3 other actual evacuations. This experience has been 4 further enhanced by several exercises and specialized 5 training. (JTP) 6 Q. WHAT CRITERIA HAVE THE STATES AND COUNTIES USED IN 7 ESTABLISHING SHELTER CAPACITIES? DOES THE 8 AGENCY / INSTITUTION WHICH WILL ADMINISTER THE SHELTERS 9 AGREE WITH YOUR SHELTER CAPACITY ESTIHATES?

10 A. The criteria that the state and counties are using is 11 based on the National Shelter Survey Instructions 12 TR-84 dated May, 1982, Federal Emergency Management -

13 Agency. The criteria allots 40 square feet per 14 person in shelters. This 40 square feet per person 15 has proven adequate to date based on actual 16 experience during exercises. The Red Cross and 17 Social Services have concurred in the 40 square feet 18 per person criteria. (JTP) l l

1 A. The potential needs of the evacuees were estimated by 2 using a " worst case" scenario resulting in the 3 evacuation and hosting of the total population w'2 thin 4 the lO-mile EPZ of the Catawba Nuclear Plant. That 5 is approximately 85,000 people. (PL, WM, JG) 6 Q. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO BRING SUCH SUPPLIES TO THE 7 SHELTER?

8 A. I can give you the recent example of the tornado in 9 Marlboro County: within two days, I believe, there 10 were 1000 cots available on the site. (PL, WM) 11 Q. PRIOR TO THOSE COTS BEING MADE AVAILABLE, WHERE DO 12 THE PEOPLE SLEEP?

13 A. They were with friends, neighbors, they were in 14 shelters that were established in two schools and two 15 churches. (PL, WM) 16 Q. WITH RESPECT TO THE G:1ELTERS, IN THE SCHOOLS AND 17 CHURCHES, DID THE PEOPLE SUFFER GREATLY BECAUSE THEY 18 DID NOT HAVE COTS?

19 A. No. (PL, WM)

R20 Q. WERE THE PEOPLE, IN YOUR JUDGMENT, ADEQUATELY TAKEN 21 CARE OF?

22 A. Yes. (PL, WM) 23 'Q. ARE THERE OTHER SOURCES OF SUPPLIES THAT THE STATE 24 COULD CALL ON IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY AT l 25 CATAWBA? FOR EXAMPLE, FOOD, CLOTHING AND BEDDING?

L

1 A. Yes. There are several religious groups that we have 2 seen in the past tornado that have shown up: one 3 group out of Alabama, the Alabama Disaster 4 Brotherhood Association, and we have a list of 5 several other agencies that we obtained through the 6 recent emergency. Plus, individuals privately 7 provided supplies. The resources of the American Red 8 Cross, the Food and Nutrition Service of the USDA, 9 the Salvation Army, the County, State, and Federal 10 Government will be available to meet the needs of the 11 evacuees. (JG) 12 Q. TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE YOU MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO USE 13 THESE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES?

14 A. Extant plans and agreements provide for the supply of 15 additional resources as they are required. (PL, WM) 16 Q.- IN A WORST CASE EMERGENCY HOW MANY PERSONS WILL USE 17 THE SHELTER?

18 A. We assume that all the people in the lO-mile EPZ 19 would go to their assigned shelter if a total 20 evacuation were ordered. (PL, WM) 21 Q. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ASSIGNED TO ADMINISTER THE 22 SHELTER PROGRAM?

23 A. The number of people designated for shelter 24 operations-will vary according to the hosting l 25 requirements for each county. The Red Cross has and-l l 26 will provide shelter training. (PL, WM)

1 Q. HOW MANY PERSONS ARE IN A RECEPTION TEAM?

2 A. eor internal shelter operations, the number of staff 3 varies with the number of evacuees. Internal shelter 4 staff would include a shelter manager and one or more 5 registraro, nurses, cooks, recreation officer, 6 support staf f, and a communication of ficer. (PL, WM) 7 Q. WHAT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES WILL BE USED?

8 A. Those that the Red Cross has already established.

9 (PL, WM) 10 Q. WHO WILL ADMINISTER THOSE PROCEDURES?

11 A. The Red Cross and the Department of Social Services 12 jointly in the shelter. (PL, WM) ,

13 Q. HAVE PLANS FOR ENTRY AND EXIT PROM SHELTERS BEEN 14 DEVELOPED?

15 A. In the Red Cross criteria for the shelter, yes they 16 have. (PL, WM) 17 Q. WILL THE RED CROSS ADMINISTER THE OPERATION OF THE 18 SHELTERS?

19 A. Yes. (PL, WM) 20 Q. DO THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING SHELTERS?

21 A. Yes. The American Red Cross has had over eighty 22 years of experience and success in the administration 23 of shelters and registration of evacuees. (PL, WM, 24 JG) 25' Q. BASED ON.YOUR EXPERIENCE, HAS THEIR OPERATION OF 26 SHELTERS BEEN SUCCESSFUL 7

1 A. Yes. (PL, WM) 2 Q. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO REGISTER PERSONS AT THE 3 SHELTER?

4 A. It will require approximately 2 minutes to register 5 one person. Registration time is decreased if a 6 family registers as a unit. A family of 4 requires 7 approximately 3-1/2 minutes to register. (PL, WM) 8 Q. WHAT IS CONSIDERED ADEQUATE DECONTAMINATION 9 EQU IPMENT?

10 A. The procedures listed in Attachment A (Personnel 11 Decontamination) are considered adequate techniques 12 for removing radioactive particulate contamination.

13 No decontamination is required for exposure to noble 14 gases. These techniques are not intended for cases 15 of internal contamination; specialized medical 16 consultation is indicated in such cases. The 17 necessary equipment is implied by the description of 18 each decontamination method. (PL, WM) 19 Q. IS EACH OF THE 38 SHELTERS EQUIFPED WITH ADEQUATE 20 DECONTAMINATION EQUIPMENT?

21 A. Yes. (PL, WM) 22 Q. ARE SPECIALLY-TRAINED NURSES OR PARAMEDICS REQUIRED 23 TO PERFORM DECONTAMINATION?

24 A. .No. (PL, WM) 25 Q. WHAT SUPPLIES ARE REQUIRED FOR DECONTAMINATION?

i 26 A. Soap, water, and towels. (PL, WM)

3 I

1 Q. HOW WILL CONTAMINATED MATERIALS BE DISPOSED OF AT 2 EACH SHELTER?

3 A. Contaminated clothing will be placed in containers.

4 Disposal of contaminated water is based on DHEC/BRH r 5 instructions. (PL, WM) 6 Q. HOW HAS EMERGENCY PLANNING PROVIDED MEANS FOR 7 REUNITING FAMILIES SEPARATED DURING EVACU ATION?

8 A. The American Red Cross will register all evacuees who 9 report to a shelter. Families can make inquiries 10 through the ARC Disaster Welfare Inquiry System. (PL, 11 WM)

? 12 Q. DOES THE PLAN STILL CONTEMPLATE FOURTEEN RECEPTIONS 13 CENTERS?

14 A. No. Evacuees will not be processed and registered at 15 reception centers. Plans provide that residents 16 within the lO-mile EPZ will be preassigned to 1

l 17 shelters. They will be notified of these 18 preassignments by brochure and other public 19 information methods. (WM) 20 We took a hard look at the reception center 21 concept for Catawba and based upon the size of the 22 ' population felt it would not be feasible to use such 23 a concept, thus we went to a sheltering system where 24 the public would go directly to shelters rather than 25 first to a reception center and then to a shelter.

26 We have approximately 38 primary-and well over 100 i

1 total shelters designated in the State and local plan 2 for Catawba that could be called on if the population 3 warranted it. (WM) 4 Q. IF THE SHELTERS DESIGNATED IN THE PLAN BECAME 5 OVERCROWDED FOR SOME REASON WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO OPEN 6 ADDITIONAL SHELTERS FURTHER OUT?

7 A. Yes. (WM) 8 Q. WILL PEOPLE HAVE TO REGISTER?

9 A. Yes, they will have to register at the shelter. (JG, 10 WM) 11 Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT REGISTRATION OF POTENTIAL 12 EVACUEES WILL POSE ANY PROBLEMS OF OVERCROWDING OR .

13 DELAY THAT WOULD CAUSE PEOPLE NOT TO HAVE SHELTER AS 14 SOON AS THEY NEED IT?

15 A. There are experienced people that are usually in

! 16 charge of the shelters and know those procedures. I 17 do not envision that there would be any delay that 18 would cause people not to have shelter as soon as l 19 they need it. (JG, WM) 20 Q. BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PROCESSING 0F 21~ PEOPLE AT SHELTERS, HAS THAT MOVED FAIRLY SMOOTHLY?

22 A. In the recent examples that I have seen, yes. (JG, 23 WM) 24 Q. IS THE IDENTITY OF THE SHELTERS SET FORTH IN THE 25 STATE PLAN?

l i

I i

f. j l

1 l

I l

l 1 A. That's correct. It is listed in Appendix 1 to Annex 2 B of the Site Specific Plan and in Annex Q of the 3- county plan. (WM) l 4 Q. IS THAT AN ACCURATE LIST?

5 A. The Red Cross is confirming those figures now to m?ke 1

6 sure those shelters meet their criteria. (WM) 7 Q. WHAT CRITERIA'HAS THE STATE USFD IN ESTABLISHING 8 SHELTER C;.PACITIES?

9 A. American Red Cross regulations are followed in 10 establishing shelter capacities. The Red Cross 11 inspects every shelter and signs an agreement with 12 the building owner / manager. When listed shelter 13 capacities do not meet Red Cross criteria, such 14 listed capacities will be either increased or 15 decreased to meet the criteria. (WM) 16 Q. ARE YCU AWARE OF ANY SHELTERS ON THAT LIST THAT ARE 17 NOT ADEQUATE?

18 A. Yes we are. Two shelters in York County did not meet 19 the criteria and thus people assigned to those 20 shelters will be reallocated to another shelter. The 21 Red Cross is confirming the square footages and 22 should complete their' confirmation work in July or 23 August. (JG, WM) 24 Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF SHELTERS BECOME OVERCROWDED?

1 A. You move to an area farther away from the plant and 2 put people into other shelters that have been 3 previously identified and designated. (WM) 4 Q. WHAT IF PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE CATAWBA EPZ MIGHT SEEK 5 SHELTER? IF SUCH DOES OCCUR, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO 6 HANDLE THIS ADDITIONAL INCREMENT?

7 A. We have no experience on how many might do that, but 8 I can say that the policy throughout the State is to 9 deny no one shelter. (PL, WM) 10 Q. IF SHELTERS BECOME OVERCROWDED, YOU WOULD SEEK 4

11 ADDITIONAL SHELTERING CAPABILITY?

12 A. Yes, in fact we go so far as to recommend closing the 13 schools for a short time. (PL, WM) 14 Q. NOW IF I CAN DRAW ON YOUR RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE 15 TORNADOS IN MARLBORO COUNTY, WERE THERE PREDESIGNATED 16 SHELTERS IN THAT COUNTY?

17 A. Not to my knowledge. (PL, WM) 18 Q. YET YOU WERE ABLE TO SET UP SHELTERS?

19 A. Yes, very quickly. (PL, WM) 20 -Q. DOES THAT GIVE YOU SOME MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE THAT IF 21 INDEED THERE IS OVERCROWDING AS A RESULT OF PEOPLE 22 COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE EPZ, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO 23 PROVIDE SHELTER FOR THEM?

i I

s

1 A. That is correct. The school superintendent is the 2 one who designated which schools would be open, they 3 were staffed quickly, and there was no problem 4 feeding or sheltering people that sought it. (PL, WM) 5 Q. HAS IT BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE THAT IN AN EMERGENCY 6 SITU ATION NOT EVERYONE WOULD COME TO A SHELTER?

7 A. Yes. In the recent episode in Marlboro County, some 4

8 of the people preferred to go to family members' 9 homes or the homes of friends. (PL, WM) 10 Q. IN THAT INSTANCE WERE THEY INSTRUCTED TO FIRST COME 11 TO THE SHELTER?

12 A. I do not know. In the Catawba emergency plan, in the 13 event of an evacuation, people would be informed to 14 come to a shelter in the first instance. (PL, WM) 15 Q. DO YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW THAT 16 INSTRUCTION BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE?

17 A. I would hope that they would. It is my experience 18 that in an emergency people will follow the 19 directions they are given. In the recent tornado 20 emergency, for example, there was excellent response.

21 (PL, WM) 22 Q. BUT ONCE EVACUEES COME TO THE SHELTER IS IT YOUR ,

23 EXPERIENCE, BASED ON THE MARLBORO COUNTY WORK, THAT 24 NOT EVERYONE WOULD STAY AT A SHELTER?

25 A. Correct. Not everyone in this type of emergency 26 stayed in the shelter. (PL, WM)

[ TESTIMONY OF GASTON COUNTY 2 (BOB E. PHILLIPS) ON 3 EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 3 I

4 Q. EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 3 ASSERTS THAT THE 5 EMERGENCY PLANS DO NOT PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE > EMERGENCY 6 FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT. DOES GASTON COUNTY' S PL AN 7 PROVIDE FOR FOOD, CLOTHING AND BEDDING TO BE STORED 8 AT THE SHELTERS OR BROUGHT TO THE SHELTERS FOR 9 POTENTIAL EV ACU E ES' USE?

10 A. Food will be provided from those supplies already 11 stored at the schools. Clothing will be provided by 12 the N.C. Department of Corrections. For bedding, we 13 have about 100 cots stored in Gaston County. Other 14 cots will be brought in from surrounding counties.

15 O. DOES THE COUNTY PLAN PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING 16 THIS CONTENTION?

17 A. Yes, Part 2, figure 6 of the N.C. State Plan lists 18 the Gaston County designated shelters. Part 2, 19 Section III, of the N.C. State Plan addresses the 20 responsibilities of Gaston County government for i

21 provision of food, clothing and bedding.

22 Q. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THESE SUPPLIES TO BE l

23 BROUGHT IN?

24 A. It will take about 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months for clothing and bedding 25 to be brought in.

26 Q. HAVE YOU S ATISFIED YOURSELF THAT THE SUPPLY OF THESE 27 NECESSITIES IS ADEQUATE TO MEET THE POTENTIAL NEED?

(

b

1 A. Yes.

2 Q. HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT ESTIMATING THE POTENTIAL NEED 3 FOR' FOOD, CLOTHING, AND BEDDING 7 4 A. We discussed this with the state and I believe the 5 Red Cross and Salvation Army have been involved also.

6 Q. ARE THERE OTHER SOURCES OF FOOD, CLOTHING, AND 7 BEDDING WHICH COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE IF NECESSARY?

8 A. Yes.

9 Q. HAVE YOU MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO USE THESE ADDITIONAL 10 RESOURCES IF THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED?

11 A. Yes, I have made arrangements with the local Red f

12 Cross, the Department of Social Services, local ,

i 13 school officials, and State officials.

14 Q. DO YOU FEEL THAT THE AMOUNT OF SHELTER CAPACITY THAT 15 YOU HAVE WILL BE ADEQUATE FOR THE NEEDS THAT YOU 16 ANTICIPATE?

17 A. We have in the Gaston County part of the EPZ about i

18 2,700 people and we have adequate shelter space for 19 these people, plus approximately 11,000 more people.

20 In the event more soace is necessary, we will direct 21 evacuees to additional identified shelter space in 22 adjoining counties. I have identified shelters in 23 Cleveland. county to receive the evacuees from York 24 County if needed. In addition, we can use the Grier i

25 Junior High, Gaston College, and Highland Junior High 26 to shelter part of the 11,000 people.

1 Q. WHAT WILL GA3 TON COUNTY RELY UPON FOR PROCESSING AND 2 REGISTERING EPZ RESIDENTS?

3 A. I rely on 2 primary shelters for Gaston County i 4 residents and on 3 secondary shelters for the 11,000 5 York County residents. There are no reception 6 centers in the Gaston County plan; the people go 7 directly to shelters.

8 Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT THE REGISTRATION OF POTENTIAL 9 EVACUEES WILL POSE ANY PROBLEMS OF OVERCROWDING OR i 10 DELAY OF EVACUATION?

11 A. No. The Gaston County Red Cross Director has 12 experience with this problem and will use enough ,

13 registrars to avoid any delay. Two hundred shelter 14 managers are already trained.

15 Q. WHAT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES WILL BE FOLLOWED?

16 A. Red Cross procedures.

17 Q. WHO WILL ADMINISTER THESE PROCEDURES 7 18 A. Red Cross personnel, backed by Department of Social 19 Services personnel.

20 Q. DOES THE RED CROSS, WHICH WILL ADMINISTER THESE 21 PROCEDURES, HAVE EXPERIENCE IN SUCCESSFULLY 22 ORGANIZING SHELTERS AND REGISTERING EVACUEES?

23 A. Yes. The.. Red Cross has been active in disaster 24 relief for years.

25 Q. WHAT CRITERIA HAS GASTON COUNTY USED IN ESTABLISHING 26 SHELTER CAPACITIES?

l 1

l 1 A. The criteria used were supplied by the North Carolina 2' Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. The 3 Red Cross, using its criteria, has reviewed the 4 shelters and has confirmed our selections. State 5 engineers came in last September to determine 6 capacities using these criteria.

l 1 TESTIMONY OF MECKLENBURG COUNTY 2 (LEWIS WAYNE BROOME) ON )

3 EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 3 l 4 Q. EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 3 ALLEGES THAT THE 5 EMERGENCY PLANS DO NOT PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE EMERGENCY 6 FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT THE EMERGENCY 7 RESPONSE. WHERE DOES THE MECKLENBURG COUNTY PLAN 8 ADDRESS EMERGENCY FACILITIES (SHELTERS, EOCS) AND 9 EQUIPMENT (FOOD, CLOTHING, BEDDING)?

10 A. Part 3 of the N.C. State Plan addresses Mecklenburg 11 County procedures.Section III of Part 3 lists 12 organizational responsibilities in the county for 13 provision of food, clothing and bedding. Part 3, ,

14 figure 6 lists the designated Mecklenburg County 15 shelters. The Standard Operating Procedures will 16 provide more specific detail.

17 Q. WILL CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG HAVE ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF 18 UNCONTAMINATED FOOD, CLOTHING, AND BEDDING FOR 19 PERSONS WHO ARE EVACU ATED TO SHELTERS?

20 A. We have sufficient food resources available to us.

21 We have surplus food commodities through the 22 Department of Agriculture that would be available.

23 We have ninety'thousand plus tons of food that have 24 been identified in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area 25 that could be utilized.

26 Q. WHERE IS THE FOOD STORED?

l

l l

1 A. The food is stored in various distribution facilities 2 within the Mecklenburg County area.

3 O. HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE FOR FOOD SUPPLIES TO BE 4 BROUGHT TO THE SHELTERS?

5 A. Within 5 to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months after notification that food is 6 necessary at the shelters, we would have access to 7 enough food to feed the anticipated shelter 8 population.

9 O. WHAT ABOUT BEDDING?

10 A. We provide the very basics which might consist of a 11 cot or blanket for women and children or the elderly 12 or some thing of this nature. It is not the intent of 13 shelter operations to provide mattresses, pillow 14 cases, and pillows to shelterees. We have identified 15 about thirteen hundred cots that would be available 16 within a couple hours time. Long range, we would 17 have additional resources from the Red Cross and the 18 State.

19 O. HOW ABOUT CLOTHING?

20 A. It is my understanding that the State would take the 21 lead in providing clothing and we would act as a 22 support. We would also utilize any organization such 23 as the Red Cross or the Salvation Army that could 24 supply clothing locally.

I

_ 3_

1 Q. DO YOU AGREE WITH INTERVENORS' ASSERTION THAT THE l 2 NUMBER OF SHELTERS IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THE NUMBER OF 3 EVACUEES THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE7 4 A. .No. Mecklenburg County has identified shelter 5 capacity for over forty-two thousand people. In 6 addition, we have agreements with other adjacent 7 counties that would house overflow, so there is 8 sufficient shelter in Mecklenburg and surrounding

9 counties to accommodate, we think, the evacuation 10 population.

11 Q. WOULD THAT INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO EVACUATE FROM SOUTH 12 CAROLINA AS WELL AS PEOPLE WHO EVACUATE FROM PORTIONS 13 OF THE EPZ IN THIS COUNTY?

14 A. Tha t's correct.

15 Q. WOULD THAT INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT COME INTO 16 MECKLENBURG COUNTY FROM GASTON COUNTY?

17 A. If they came from Gaston County to Mecklenburg 18 County, we would provide as much as we could; we 19 would not turn anybody away.

20 Q. CAN YOU ESTIMATE THE NUMBER OF EVACUEES YOU COULD 21 HANDLE, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ANY ARRANGEMENTS THAT YOU 22 MADE WITH THE ADJACENT COUNTIES?

23 'A. Mecklenburg County can handle forty-two thousand plus 24 evacuees. In a worst-case evacuation, my 25 understanding of the most recent population figures 26 is that about sixty thousand people would require l

l

4

+ !

t 1 shelter, so we are looking at about eighteen thousand

! 2 people who would go to the surrounding counties. We 3 already have Cabarrus County in place because i

4 Cabarrus is utilized for.the McGuire Nuclear Station i

5 emergency response. In addition, we could activate mutual aid agreements with all of the other 6

7 surrounding counties so that we don't think that 4 8 putting up sixty thousand people would pose that much 9 of a problem. Logistics could be a problem f

10 initially, but that could be administrative 1y worked 11 out over a period of a couple of hours. The J

i 12 logistics would be resolved.

13 Q. WHAT CRITERIA DID MECKLENBURG COUNTY USE IN 14 ESTIMATING SHELTER CAPACITIES?

I

! 15 A. The criteria used (40 sq. ft/ person)-were supplied by

i. 16 the N.C. Department of Crime Control and'Public 17 Safety. The Red Cross has reviewed the shelters

! 18 using its criteria, and has confirmed our selection.

19 Q. HOW WILL MECKLENBURG COUNTY REGISTER AND PROCESS EPZ 20 RESIDENTS?

21 A. We will use the standards and proceduras that the Red 22 Cross has established and utilized in numerous

23 disaster situations.

1 1 TESTIMONY OF AMERICAN RED CROSS 2 (DENNIS JOHNSON) ON 3 EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 3 4 Background Information 5 Q. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND BUSINESS ADDRESS.

6 A. My name is Dennis Johnson. My business address is 7 2425 Park Road, Charlotte, North Carolina.

8 Q. WHAT IS YOUR JOB POSITION?

9 A. My job title is Disaster Specialist for the American 10 Red Cross.

11 Q. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THAT JOB 7 12 A. Since August of 1977.

13 Q. PRIOR TO THAT TIME DID YOUR JOB RELATE TO EMERGENCY 14 RESPONSE?

15 A. Yes. I have worked with the American Red Cross in 16 the area of disaster relief since November of 1974.

17 In my capacity as Director of Volunteers in Hartford, 18 Connecticut, I did disaster relief work in Puerto 19 Rico, in Gua tamala , and also locally in Connecticut.

20 Q. HAVE YOU READ CESG/ PALMETTO ALLIANCE CONTENTION 3, 21 WHICH DEALS WITH THE ADEQUACY OF EMERGENCY FACILITIES 22 AND EQUIPMENT?

23 A. Yes.

24 Q. HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY EMERGENCIES WHERE 25 NOTIFICATION TO EVACUATE WAS GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC7 L1

I

- 2-1 A. Yes. Two examples are my involvement in the 4

2 evacua tion related to Hurricane Alan a couple of 3 years ago in South Texas, and my involvement in 4 evacua tion activities during the Nicaraguan civil 5 war.

6 Q. HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY EMERGENCY RESPONSE 7 ACTIVITIES THAT INVOLVED SHELTERING?

8 A. Many of the disasters that I've been on had 9 sheltering as a component of the activities. I was 10 personally involved in a major sheltering operation 11 some years ago in Honduras and Nicaragua where we 12 sheltered 52,000 refugees from the Nicaraguan civil 13 war. We've also done local sheltering throughout the

14 South. I hadn't done any here in North and South 15 Carolina until the recent tornado experience because 16 we hadn't had a disaster experience that required 17 extensive sheltering.

18 Q. BASED UPON YOUR EXPERIENCE IN RESPONDING TO 19 DISASTERS, WHAT IS YOUR IMPRESSION OF PEOPLE'S 20 RESPONSE TO DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY EMERGENCY RESPONSE 21 OFFICIALS?

3 22 A. I think a lot of people's response to direction 23 depends on the kind of experience they have had 24 dealing with evacuation and sheltering in the past.

25 For example, if you have people who have had a recent 26 experience with a certain kind of disaster, they're

i l

s !

going to respond very favorably to direction. We 2 have also found-that if people have for many, many 3 years not had the experience of having lived through 4 a disaster, they also are receptive to moving. Along 5 the coast here in the Carolinas, we have found that 6 we occasionally have a small hurricane come through, 7 such as a Hurricane David, that causes minor damage.

8 People begin to believe that they don't have to 9 eva cuate because they are not genuinely threatened by 10 that kind of disaster. But with either a very recent

11 disaster or a long, long term of no disaster i

12 whatsoever people tend to be most receptive to -

13 wanting evacuation.

14 Q. DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE 15 WOULD RESPOND POSITIVELY IN A NUCLEAR EMERGENCY?

16 A. Yes, I do. It's my opinion that people would 17 evacuate when they receive the warning to do so. I'm 18 basing that opinion on my belief that people have a 19 very signifcant fear of the unknown in this instance.

I 20 It's not like a tornado that you can see; it's not l

21 like a hurricane that you can experience, you can 22 feel, you can hear. -This is something that-is

, 23 invisible as far.as most people are concerned. They l

24 don't know when it's coming or how it's going to 25 affect them on a short term or a long term basis, and

-4_

1 as a result, I think people are going to be 2 frightened enough as a result of that to pick up and 3 leave.

4 Q. DO YOU HAVE ANY BASIS FOR THAT OPINION?

5 A. Well, this is something that, because we're in the 6 business of providing disaster relief, we sit down 7 and talk with people on a local ba si s. I've spoken L

8 with people throughout North and South Carolina 9 around nuclear power plants, and I've spoken with 10 other disaster. specialists in other areas as well, to 11 get their impression, and they seem to feel that 12 people will move.

13 Q. AS A RESULT OF THE THREE MILE ISLAND ACCIDENT, THERE 14 WAS AN EVACUATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN AND PREGNANT 15 WOMEN. WAS THE RED CROSS INVOLVED AT ALL IN THAT 16 ACTIVITY?

17 A. Yes, they were involved in the sheltering process.

18 Q. HAVE YOU READ ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS 19 EVACUATION?

20 A. I did read an after-action report based on the events 21 of Three Mile Island.

22 Q. DID PREGNANT WOMEN AND CHILDREN LEAVE THE AREA AS 23- DIRECTED?

24 A. It seems that they did. There weren't nearly as many 25 people in the shelters as people anticipated, but 26 going back to the experience that we've had over the

4

-S-1 years in terms of sheltering people from dif ferent 2 kinds of natural disasters, we found that to be true 3 as well. Most people who evacuate from any kind of 4 disaster, man-made or natural, tend to go with people 5 that they are familiar with. If your mother or 6 father lives nearby, chances are you are going to go 7 to their house and stay with them. People are much 8 more comfortable in a setting that they know and 4

9 understand outside an area of danger than they would 10 be staying in a Red Cross facility or any other kind 11 of public facility.

12 Q. THE PRESENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS CALu FOR .

13 DECONTAMINATION CAPABILITY AT EACH ONE OF THE 14 SHELTERS, AND THE SHELTERS ARE ALIGNED IN THE EPZ 15 SUCH THAT PEOPLE WOULD DISBURSE FROM THE EPZ TO THE 16 VARIOUS SHELTERS. IF GIVEN PROPER INSTRUCTION BEFORE 17 THE !NCIDENT AND DURING THE EMERGENCY SITUATION, DO 18 YOU THINK THE PROBABILITY THAT PEOPLE WOULD GO TO 19 SHELTERS TO GET DECONTAMINATED IS GREATER THAN IF 20 THEY HADN'T BEEN GIVEN ANY INSTRUCTION?

21 A. Yes, I think it would be greater.

22 Q. IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, HAVE VOLUNTEERS IEEN FORTHCOMING 23 IN AN EMERGENCY?

24 A. They always are. The whole disaster relief process 25 that the American Red Cross runa-hinges on the 26 involvement of volunteers at all levels.

I 1 Q. IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, HAVE FOOD, CLOTHING, BEDDING BEEN 2 READILY AVAILABLE IN AN EMERGENCY?

3 A. Absolutely.

4 EPC 3 Testimony 5 O. EMERGENCY PLANNING CONTENTION 3 ASSERTS THAT EXISTING 6 EMERGENCY PLANS DO NOT PROVIDE FOR SUFFICIENT FOOD, 7 CLOTHING, AND BEDDING FOR EVACUEES. HOW DID YOU GO 8 ABOUT ESTIMATING THE POTENTIAL NEED FOR FOOD, 9 BEDDING, AND CLOTHING?

10 A. Well, initially, of course, we looked at the numbers 11 of the people, the size of the population within the 12 ten-mile EPZ and based our estimates for the kinds of i

13 supplies we would need on those numbers.

14 Q. IN YOUR OPINION, WOULD ADEQUATE FOOD, CLOTHING, AND 15 BEDDING FOR EVACUEES BE AVAILABLE IN THE EVENT OF A 16 NUCLEAR EMERGENCY AT CATAWBA?

17 A. I believe it would be. In large shelter operations, 18 the Red Cross utilizes USDA foods that are stored in i 19 large warehouses and in individual schools. Some of 20 the schools serve as shelters. The amounts in 21 storage vary depending upon the time of year. We 22 would also be able to purchase additional food 23 supplies from commercial wholesale distributors. So, 24 I don't feel that providing food in a nuclear 25 emergency would be any different than dealing with j 26 people on a natural disaster basis. The food is

1 still going to be there. We're still going to be 2 able to use the resources in Charlotte, for example, 3 where they have major food storage warehouses, and 4 that in other major cities. Whether we have to truck 5 food in or bring it in by the trainload or planeload, 6 however we have to, we'll get it.

7 Clothing, for example, can be purchased on a 8 local basis, either directly from retail suppliers 9 or, if needed in vast quantities, we can go to 10 wholesale supplies. But in this particular plan, 11 clothing isn't something that the Red Cross is tasked 12 with supplying.

13 Bedding, though, is a concern that we have for 14 the shelters. The f a ct is that in a shelter, not 15 everyone has a bed. And in any kind of shelter, in

, 16 all but the smallest disaster, that's the case. When 17 there is a hurricane and there are massive 18 evacuations from the coast, only a very small

19 percentage of the people who actually stay.in a 20 shelter stay on a cot. They may -have a blanket or a 21 pillow, they may have a cot the second or third day, l 22 but the fact is that these people initially do not

( 23 have that kind of a supply in any kind of a shelter.

24 Currently, there are 1161 cots and 1245 blankets in 25 counties with shelters. In addition, we have l

26 thousands of cots and blankets stored in disaster

~

l l

l 1 warehouses throughout the country that can be brought 2 into a situation like this within twenty-four to 3 forty-eight hours. So, we're basing the need for 4 bedding on being able to be supplied by these 5 warehouses. Generally, the people who need the cots 6 that we would provide are people who are elderly or 7 who are sick. Not everyone, for instance, in your 8 family or my family who's young and healthy needs a 9 cot, frankly.

10 Q. ALTHOUGH THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE COTS IMMEDIATELY AND 11 MAYBE NOT EVEN BEDDING I" MEDIATELY, IS IT YOUR 12 EXPERIENCE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SURVIVE IN .

13 SHELTERS?

14 A. Yes.

15 Q. IS IT YOUR EXPERIENCE THAT THE FOOD, CLOTHING, AND 16 BEDDING DOES REACH A SHELTER WITHIN A RELATIVELY 17 SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, SAY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS?

18 A. Absolutely.

19 Q. DO YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO SUSPECT THAT WOULD NOT BE 20 THE CASE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION INVOLVING A 21 NUCLEAR INCIDENT AT CATAWBA?

22 A. Not based on the knowledge I have of how this would 23 occur.

24 Q. PLEASE DESCRIBE WHAT SPECIFIC ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN 25 MADE TO PROVIDE AN UNCONTAMINATED WATER SUPPLY.

i- -Em_

, _ g_

A. The primary resource for water supply would be National Guard tank truciis (2-5,000 gallons) and water trailers (85-400 gallons). Water would be trucked from nearby uncontaminated resources and distributed in the smaller trailers. .x

'. s s O. HOW WILL CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND OTHER MATERIALS BE s.. DISPOSED 9F AT THE SHELTERS?

A. Plastic garbage ' bags and other . trash containers will N.,

be used which will later be moved to an appropriate dump site.. g O. HOW WOULD THE AMERICAN RED CROSS BE NOTIFIED IN AN

-s EMERGENCY? N

\

A. We might be notified'by a number of sources, including the local Red Cross chapter, the Department o f Soci el Services,.. the S.C. Emergency Preparedness Department, or. law enforcement of ficials. After s

being notified, we wot d then proceed to staff each s %

shelter.

Q. WOULD THE SHELTERS BE ST AFFED 'BY PERMANENT EMPLOYEES OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.CR BY VOLUNTEERS 7

,(

A. A combination of both. We're nots only counting on

1 disaster like this occurs, we pick up a lot of people 2 who are interested in providing their assistance on a 3 immediate basis also.

4 Q. WOULD THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO STAFF THE SHELTERS, j 5 WHETHER THEY WERE RED CROSS EMPLOYEES OR VOLUNTEERS, 6 KNOW WHAT TO DO?

7 A. The Red Cross has an eight-hour shelter management 8 course that we give. We have been giving it for 9 many, many years now here in the Carolinas and across 10 the country. We train the managers in this course, 11 and all the volunteers who will come in will be a 12 part of this management team. If they haven't had 13 the training, that's not really significant because 14 the whole process, the whole disaster relief system 15 that we have, is based on utilizing people who have 16 had a minimum of experience and, in many instances, 17 no training whatsoever. But under the direction of 18 these trained managers, they can be put to work in a 19 very important function.

20 Q. HOW WOULD THE PROCESSING OF PEOPLE AT A SHELTER WORK 7 21 A. After they have been monitored and decontaminated, if 22 that should be necessary, we will have a registration 23 table at which they will sign into the shelter, and 24 when they leave they'll sign out of the shelter. A 25 sample registration form is attached as Attachment A.

6 d. DO YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE THE PLAN WILL NOT 7 BE FOLLOWED?

t

^

8 A. Not. at"this point'.

9 Q. WOULD THE AMERICAN RED CROSS BE INVOLVED IN ASSESSING r 10 ,,

CONTAMINATION?

' 'll A. We are only involved in it to the extent that we need 12 to tre sure that the people are monitored and I;

13 decontaminated prior to their entry into the shelter.

14 We want to be sure that the system is established 15 such that our workers, our volunteers, as well as the 16 other people who enter into the shelter, are not -

17 affected by this contamination whatsoever.

18 Q. DO YOU HAVE PROCEDURES-IN PLACE THAT WILL ASSURE 19 THAT?

20 A. Well, basically the procedures are those used by the 21 monitoring teams.

22 Q. HOW LONG.DO YOU PLAN FOR PEOPLE TO REMAIN IN THE 23 SHELTERS?

i l

l I

l 1

1 A. We have never attached a time factor to our shelters.

2 Naturally, we like to get people back into their 3 homes as rapidly as possible and then make every 4 effort to do what we can to help them either return 5 to their home or to find alternate housing.

i 6 Q. TURNING TO THE ADEQUACY OF THE SHELTERS PROVIDED, HOW I 7 MANY SHELTERS HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED FOR THE 10-MILE 8 EPZ?

9 A. I have identified 38 primary shelters within the

10 area.

i 11 Q. IS THE AMERICAN RED CROSS INVOLVED IN ASSESSING THE 12 ADEQUACY OF SHELTERS? --

13 A. The shelter management course that we have sets out 14 certain guidelines which specify the kinds of things 15 that make a shelter adequate in terms of such details 16 as number of commodes, for example, square footage 17 allowable per person, etc.

18 Q. ARE YOU APPLYING THOSE CRITERIA TO EACH OF THE 19 SHELTERS THAT HAVE THUS FAR BEEN IDENTIFIED?

20 A. Yes.

I 21 Q. WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND IN YOUR REVIEW OF THE SHELTERS?

22 A. Well, we're finding that some of the shelters that 23 were originally designated have been eliminated from

, 24 the system because they did not have the square

f l 25 footage that was necessary or there might have been i

1 1

1 some other reasons for them to be eliminated; but, 2 generally speaking, we're talking about square 3 footage, accessibility, and sanitary facilities.

4 Q. WHEN WILL YOUR REVIEW OF THE DESIGNATED SHELTERS BE 5 COMPLETE?

6 A. Within the year, if possible.

7 Q. WILL YOUR REVIEW OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE SHELTERS 8 RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT REDUCT.ON IN THE NUMBER OF 9 SHELTERS THAT ARE PRESENTLY IDENTIFIED? ,

10 A. We haven't seen that so far.

11 Q. IN THE EVENT THERE IS EITHER A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION 12 OR A MINOR REDUCTION, HOW WILL ADDITIONAL SHELTER 13 SPACE BE PROVIDED?

14 A. I would imagine that what they would do would be to 15 designate other counties as host counties. We would 16 use facilities farther away from the EPZ.

17 Q. DOES THAT POSE ANY PROBLEM?

18 A. Not as far as we're concerned. It may pose a 19 transportation problem for some of the individuals 20 involved within the ten mile radius of the plant.

21 Q. WILL THE RED CROSS EVALUATE THESE ADDITIONAL SHELTERS

, 22 WITH RESPECT TO ADEQUACY?-

23 A. On the same basis that we evaluate the other ones, 24- yes.

1 Q. IN SUM, THEN, WILL THE AMERICAN RED CROSS SATISFY 2 ITSELF THAT THERE'S A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF ACCEPTABLE 3 SHELTER SPACE?

4 A. That's correct.

5 Q. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE OUTSIDE 6 THE EPZ MIGHT SEEK REFUGE AT A SHELTER?

7 A. We've considered the fact, but frankly I can't see 8- that happening.

9 Q. IF THIS VERE TO HAPPEN, AND THERE WERE OVERCROWDING, 10 WOULD ADDITIONAL SHELTERS BE OPENED AND STAFFED AND 11 THOSE PEOPLE TAKEN CARE OF?

12 A. Tha t 's correct.

13 Q. WHO WOULD STAFF THE ADDITIONAL SHELTER?

14 A. We may have to bring in people from other states, 15 from across the country, from other parts of North 16 and South Carolina. Initially, we would depend also 17 on the Department of Social Services workers 18 available here in South Carolina.

19 Q. HAS IT BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DRAW 20 ON RESOURCES FROM OUTSIDE YOUR IMMEDIATE AREA TO 21 RESPOND TO A DISASTER?'

22 A. It happens in every disaster of any size.

23 Q. HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH SHELTERING ACTIVITIES BEEN 24 THAT THE PROCEDURES USED BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IN 25 REGISTERING PEOPLE AND CARING FOR PEOPLE IN SHELTER i

26 HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE?

15 -

1 A. As far as I've seen, yes.

2 0. HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO PROCESS A FAMILY OF FOUR?

3 A. We timed the processing procedure recently and found 4 that it takes approxima tely three to three and a half 5 minutes.

6 Q. WHAT DOES PROCESSING OF PEOPLE ENTAIL?

7 A. We have a regintra tion form that is in place, people 8 will come in and either stand or sit with the 9 registrar. The registrar will ask them their name, 10 address, and the other information that's contained 11 on the form itself, which is very brief. Following 12 that, they'll be moved into'the shelter.

1 9 all evacuees could be met in a timely fashion.

10 Q. ARE THERE OTHER ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THE SALVATION j 11 ARMY MIGHT SERVE IN AN EMERGENCY?

12 A. Yes. The Salvation Army would be able to set up 13 mobile canteens for the temporary feeding of 14 e va cuee s. We could serve soup, sandwiches, donuts 15 and coffee for a short time. This activity would be 16 limited to the immediate response since the Red Cross 17 will feed the evacuees in the shelters. In addition, 18 the Salvation Army can provide canned goods but this 19 would be supplemental and in addition to the Red 20 Cross' responsibili ty.

21 Q.. HOW MANY SETS OF CLOTHING INCLUDING TROUSERS, 22 SHIRTS, SKIRTS, BLOUSES, OR DRESSES CAN THE SALVATION 23- ARMY FURNISH FROM NEARBY EXISTING SUPPLIES, WITHIN l
