AFFIDAVIT OF RICHARD H.
STROME (TOH REVISED CONTENTION IV)
I, RICHARD H.
STROME, being on oath, depose and say as follows:
4 1.
I am the Director of the New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency (NHCDA).
2.
The State of New Hampshire is confident that all requirements for transportation resources can be met.
As evidence I cite the Regional Assistance Committee (RAC)
Evaluation of State Response in NHRERP, Revision 2 (8/86',
- p. 74-b of 134).
3.
In NHRERP Volume 4, Appendix I, the totals.of 574 buses and 510 drivers are accurate and consistent with the 8704020273 B70325 ADOCK05000g3 PDR G
i
.,,e e
O l
numbers committed to in the letters of agreement.
Only a total of 515 buses and drivers are actually needed.
NHRERP Vol. 2, App.
I, p.
I-3.
A letter of agreement has been executed with Local 633 of the Teamsters whereby they agree to supply up to 1,500 drivers.
Letters of agreement with owners are being obtained permitting the mobilization of these drivers by the union.
4.
Section IV.F (Public Works Director Procedure) of the Town of Hampton Radiological Emergency. Response Plan (TOH RERP) Volume 18 contains a detailed listing of Hampton's specific bus requirements.
Hampton has an estimated bus need of 83 buses.
5.
Appendix I to Volume 2, of the New Hampshire RERP incorporates TOH's requirements into a summary listing of specific transportation resource requirements for the entire State of New Hampshire.
Currently, a total of 515 buses is required, including all school buses, special needs buses, and coach buses.
6.
Volume 5 of the New Hampshire RERP contains letters of agreement with bus and ambulance companies, Teamsters Local No. 633 of New Hampshire, and the New Hampshire School Transportation Association.
Together, these organizations provide transportation resources in excess of the numbers required in Appendix I to Volume 2.
7.
Volume 4, Appendix I (p. I-8), entitled Transportation Resource Requirements, and Volume 2, l l
i j
Appendix I (p. I-3), are both being revised to indicate an i
updated requirement for 515 total buses.
This is less:than 5-the 574 buses currently available through letters of agreement.
a 8.
The Teamsters Local No. 633 of New Hampshire has agreed to provide drivers for evacuation transportation y
activities from within its membership ranks.
A letter of I
agreement to that effect is contained in Volume 5, 1
Revision 2, of the NHRERP.
9.
Notification and coordination of Teamsters as backup drivers will be addressed in a procedure, currently under development by NHCDA.
10.
Volume 5 contains letters of agreement with bus companies for the use of buses in excess of total New Hampshire Plume Exposure EPZ requirements.
Revision 2 to the NHRERP contains a new concept for the acquisition and utilization of all buses; including the use of i
i pre-established bus routes.
This is described in-Volume 1 (NHRERP Parts 1.0 through 7.0),-Section 2.6 (pp. 2.6-11 l
through 2.6-11b), and is incorporated in both State and l
local procedures.
11.
The availability of emergency medical services or ambulance service is sufficient to respond to all New i
Hampshire EPZ needs.
Volume 5 contains letters of agreement which make available approximately 39 ambulances.
This is in excess of the total vehicle needs for New Hampshire of 1 - - -
_. _,. _ _....... - _ _. - _ - _, _ _ -. ~
s.
i 7
approximately 36 ambulances, as listed in the IFO Resource Coordinator's procedure - Volume 4,_Section 18, 8B (" Local Transportation Worksheets").
A list.
of ambulance providers and number of ambulances is #1so j
provided in Volume 4, Appendix I (Section 2).
Section 3 to Appendix I summarizes transportation resource requirements with respect to the individual towns.
i 12.
Revision 2 to the NHRERP has modified the response of emergency medical services by providing for their notification (and possible mobilization) at the Alert ECL.
13.
Volume 6 (Seabrook Station Evacuation Time Study, 4
or Evacuation Time Estimate, "ETE"), Section 2 (p. 2-1),
states that with few exceptions, people at the beach have access to a vehicle.
14.
For those who may not have access to their vehicle at the time of an emergency, and also those summertime employees (discussed above), an additional 50% of individual bus capacity (except school requirements) has been arranged in order to provide for the effective evacuation.
In addition to this excess bus capacity, they can also evacuate by ridesharing, Volume 1, Section 2.6 (p. 2.6-11b) states, "Any additional unanticipated bus needs will be coordinated through the town IFO Local Liaison".
Volume 18 (Hampton RERP),Section IV.F, Public Works Director, has him
"[d]etermine what type of transportation assistance is 4
} i l
J needed by individuals who telephone the EOC to make requests.
Refer to Attachment 2."
(Section IV.F) is entitled " Requests for Transportation Assistance", and consists of a questionnaire which obtains the details of the need for transportation assistance from a caller, and either directs the caller to a bus route or determines which type of special transportation assistance should be provided.
15.
The NHRERP is being revised to assure a reserve of backup buses.
This will consist of having buses, which originate from outside the EPZ, returning to their Staging Area after transporting persons to the Reception Center.
They originally received dosimetry at the Staging Area when they were initially mobilized.
Buses originating from within the EPZ, which will.not have dosimetry, will remain at the Reception Center to provide transportation to host facilities, if necessary.
Buses will not,.of course, be used for either of the above if they are contaminated.
16.
An adequate procedure for identifying persons with special needs exists.
17.
Cooperation and participation of Hampton school officials consists of working with New Hampshire State Officials in providing emergency response service and assistance to the Town of Hampton public and private schools.
School officials are also named in Volume 18,.
O
.I '
Section IV.K, School Superintendent _SAU #21), pp. IV-53 through IV-57.
- 18. The State of New Hampshire will provide adequate personnel to supplement local law enforcement personnel, in estaolishing traffic control points, in the event of a local manpower shortage or as a result of non-participation.
- 19. As FEMA's Final Exercise Assessment (dated February 26, 1986) states in Section 2.1.5 (p. 46), numerous other st.te agencies are available to i
provide any additional manpower or equipment.
20.
The August, 1986 RAC Evaluation of State Response, for Revision 2 to the N mERP, indicated (Section I, p. 82 of 134) an overall rating of
" adequate" in response to the State statement that, " State Police in-conjunction with local police will man access control points in and around the EPZ."
1 t
- 21. The August 1986 RAC Evaluation of. State Response (p. 73 of 134, Item
- 3) states that the concept of pre-designated bus routes is " adequate".
Evacuation of mobility-impaired residents is handled individually using additional transportation resources.
