say 2o, i m Executive Director for Op5 rations t ? d M Did you know General Finley,tM Adjutant General for the State of Kansas is closing the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), which is a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> central location for contact of all state emergencies?

We feel this is a very questionable move as we are the only central location to accept these calls on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Msis.

The Center handles all hazarcbus materialincidents/ accidents, Wolf Creek nuclear incidents, which require inrnediate notification of all parties involved.

The release of the EBS announcement must take place within 15 minutes of a Site Area Emergency is received from KG&B.

Notification of proper personnel and announcement times are essential for the Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant and cannot be properly responded to by supervisor personnel wearing beepers af ter business hours.

The Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant is the number one priority for this Center.

Iku can it be monitored properly and really be a number one priority if there is no one to monitor the warning system?

At the Center we also man tM National Attack Warning Systen (NA*S) and we make sure the system is kept in top condition by calling roll across the state If ever there was an attack on the U.S. we would be warned every 8-hour period.

inmediately.

other states have 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> centers to deal with serious spills, fires and weather problems. Hcw can any of these incidents be properly dealt with when no one will be monitoring the teletypes and NA MS?

Please cMck into this. It is of great concern to us all.

You can express concerns and have questions answered by Col. Mahlon Weeci, Deputy Director, Division of Dnergency Preparedness, Box C-300, Topeka, Kansas 66601.

You may also contact Governor Mike Hayden at the State Capitol Building, 2nd floor, Topeka, Kansas 66612.

Your concern and response in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Nancy Dunn Sondra Gonzalez NM
