Resemary T. Hogan, [mergency Preparedness Spe:ialist Office of hRR CllIMlb Mr. O'he111 presente: the folleming status suva tes and concerns regarding the state o' e?ergency g e;4repess in the To=n of Dunbury.
Lorl e entinc Fre:edures There are 4;;remirately 35 trolerenting procedures (IPs), none of which base been sent to F[KA for review.
All of the IPs, entert three, have been resie=ed by cognizant Department Heads.
The three IPs which are sit 11 under development are:
Selectmen; Tc n Manager; and Pubite l
Infereation Officer.
The RERP has reviewed the Fire and Civil Defense 1Fs and are reviewing the School IP. All IPs will be sent in segeents to the E: arc of Selectmen for their review. Certes of the Plan, IPs, Shelter lealerentation Plan and Evacuation Tire [sttrate are available in the [0C.
ite folle.ing are s p eific concerns which remain to be resolved.
}dnlil The school covittee does not agree with the scheol procedure as draf ted, but are censidering early dismissal of school children at the At[RT, rather than Fase the buses in standby and evacuate the children at a SITE AREA [M!RSENCY. There is no sound technical tasis for the position Io M Q & U// f jf

and would in some cases require three round trips of the school buses.
This is contrary b the recoependation of the Civil Defense Director and NC0A who would like to see the procedure remain as it is. There are a few other sinor concerns involving role conflict of teachers and the guarantee of sufficient buses which remain to be resolved.
Personnel Resources There are a few personnel shortages which need to be filled.
The E0C staff does not have a complete second shift complemnt and the police department needs two additional staff for Gurnet.54quish route alertit,g if necessary. All other departMnts appear to have sufficient staff.
Evacuation Time fstirate The new [1[ has been received, but it has not been thoroughly reviewed.
[ouiD*ent and Facilities The [00 is nearing ccepletion.
The facility is expected to be corplete in four weeks when the cormnication equipment is installed. Some port cble radios, a repeater and a LOPM navigation radio should be delivered within a fee weeks.
The Board of Selectmen have not approved a reception center co runity.
Although the current plan provides for evacuation to Bric;t.ater o Wellesley, the Selectren are opposed to Wellesley.
There are reservations on the use of Bridgewater, as well, because the evacuation i
routes to that corcunity would be blocked delaying evacuation.
The police need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to be used for route alerting of the Gurnet.$4quish Beact area.
_T r a i rA n Training has,just begun, but is progressing very smoothly.
$3rry leftrl Mr. 0'heill thought the Barry report and the transc ipt of the Co.-ission reettn; accurately reflected the concerns and the status of emergency preparedness in Dunbury.
Ability._to le;1e ent The Civil Defense Director does not believe the plan could be irplemented at this tiet because so little training has been co?pleted. No portions of the plan have been tested.
The Civil Defense Director has notified the Selectren that he believes that training, equipment installation, plan and IP de.' tic; rent mini drills and a to.n drill could be cot;lete by the riddle of February,1999.
Special Needs Fervlation_

$pect=1 needs population evacuation was not identified as a major concern provided resources arranged by the state are actually available, Beaches i
The Gurnet Sa Associati.n. quish procedure is still under review by the turnet Saguish Concerns are that siren coverage say be inadequate. There police do not have sufficient resources to run route al up for siren failure.
Route alerting would take at least 4h minutes to complete.
Chief YNeill indicated that some of the estimates regarding the Gurnet $aquisn beach area he has seen have been inflated. He estimated the number for the Saguish Beach at about 4,000 sutsum (2,000 typical) on peak days. The road to this beach is under water froe high tides for a part of 2 days per acnth (2 to 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />).
The water say be vaist high in that section.
i There are 4,000 te 5,000 people on the Ouxbury Beach during the peak pert of the season.
The Pcwder Point Bridge has been re opened and providas a seccad evacuation route for those evacuating the Outbury Gurnet.$4quis) ben:t area.
This gatatly improves the situation. People are requeste6 te evacuate at the ALERT and the beach is tiosed.
