l L01492 New York State Disaster Preparedness Plan EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Introduction The plan developed for New York State results from new State Legislation (Article 2-B of the New York State Executive Law) and the growing need to improve the state's handling of disaster situations. Traditionally, concern was exercised when a disaster struck, but in studying ways to improve state response, the need for a much broader view becomes evident. This plan attempts to take such a view.

Before a disaster occurs, the state should undertake preventive or mitigative actions. When a disaster occurs, the state must respond quickly and adequately. After a disaster, the state must provide for recovery activities.

Dealing with disasters, there fore , is an on-going operation, and this plan is based on that concept.

New York State's disaster plan labels the parts of this on-going operation as Prevention / Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. This "total view" consideration of disasters is labeled Comprehensive Emergency Management to emphasize the interrelationship of activities and functions necessary to successfully deal with disasters.

Vulnerability Analysis (3 Before any management concept can be brought to bear efficiently,

(/ however, there is a need to establish priorities to determine where resources should be spent. A vulnerability analysis is a systematic investigation of potential disasters in terms of frequency, magnitude, and probability of occurrence, in order to forecast their possible effects. The completion and timely updating of a vulnerability study will make this plan more useful.

The state can best prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters when it has some sound prediction of potential problems.

Organizational Responsibility Implementation of this plan requires the assignment of responsibility to perform the functions and activities outlined in the plan. General direction and policy development responsibilities are assigned to the Disaster Preparedness Commission; all other activities are assigned to existing state agencies. No new organization is created.

Responsibility assigned to state agencies is secondary to the responsibility of the local levels of government to manage all phases of disasters. The local levels of government (village, town, city or county) should have committed their resources, or be unable to perform needed activities, before the state becomes involved. Within the state. government, regional resources should be committed before statewide resources are tapped.

ht i s

• .J

L01493 Similarly, state capacity to perform in a disaster must be utilized before federal assistance can be drawn upon.

The organization most af fected by a disaster is expected to fully involve itself prior to requesting assistance.

The plan is not intended to provide specific details of how an agency will fulfill the responsibilities assigned to it. The detailed methods of completing assignments given an agency by the Disaster Preparedness Commission are expected to be determined by the agency and are the agency's responsibility.

Prevention / Mitigation Prevention refers to all activities which eliminate or reduce the number of occurrences of disaster. Mitigation is any activity which reduces the effect of disasters when they do occur.

The state has three main roles in the Prevention / Mitigation phase of disasters:

(1) It encourages and supports activities carried out by organiza-tions other than the state.

(2) It funds activities carried out by organizations other than the state.

(3) It carries out activities directly as program functions of the state.

The plan identifies state agency activities in these three categories and assigns to a designated "focal" agency the central coordination responsibility for Prevention / Mitigation activities for each type of disaster. Also, it requires every state agency to consider the agency rules, programs, projects, and activities &

in light of disaster Prevention / Mitigation possibilities. W

Response

Response refers to the immediate actions to relieve the effects of a disaster.

State involvement, under the immediate direction of the Disaster Preparedness Commission, is keyed to the Governor's declaration of a "state disaster emergency". Prior to such a declaration, response activities are the responsibility of the Office of Disaster Preparedness as part of its normal functions.

The plan outlines an organizational arrangement for marshalling appropriate state agencies, under the control of one individual (a State Coordinating Of ficer) selected by the Commission and taking direction from the Commission. To assist in the formation of such an organization, the Response section of the plan contains a listing of state agency resources that can be called upon to respond to disaster. These resources have been inventoried as a result of a survey of state agencies.

If there is an escalation of the disaster's ef fects, resulting in federal assistance, the organization created by the Commission is il g L )

LOI494 unchanged but is linked to the federal assistance through the individual managing the state response organization.

Is)

Recovery Recovery from the effects of a disaster is presented as the opportunity to redevelop all aspects of a community. The plan outlines the constraints and influences that will be faced during the rebuilding period and considers the avoidance of similar disasters in the future.

Before a disaster, the Office of Disaster Preparedness will assist in the development of and review of local disaster planning efforts.

Direct Commissior. involvement for Recovery activities during an emergency may be through the appointment of a temporary group of policy level personnel from various state agencies.

After a disaster, the group may serve as the Commission's representatives to provide technical assistance to recovery efforts required of local communities by Article 2-B of the Executive Law.

This plan is intended to provide guidance in addressing all identified types of disasters, both natural and man-made, with the

() exception of a radiological incident which, by law and because of the special knowledge and resources required, falls within the purview of the New York State Health Department. The extraordinary procedures required to monitor and respond to radiological incidents have been developed by the Health Department and are discussed in detail in the New York State Radiological Emerg'ency Plan. If it is necessary for the Health Department to respond to an incident, it will still function under the general direction of the Commission and receive support from other state agencies.

This plan seeks to better organize state involvement in disaster situations. The Disaster Preparedness Commission's responsibilities are outlined in State Law, and this plan has been developed to meet those responsibilities. It presents no radical concepts nor major departures from As itexisting is usedorganizational and developed, the responsibilities at this time.

need for changes that become apparent will be satisfied.

Introduction L01497 A wide variety of disasters, often caused or compounded by mankind's own acts, cause loss of life, property and income,

("N disrupt the normal functions of government, communities and

\/ families, and cause great human suffering. The state must give leadership and direction to prevent, counteract, defend against, and recover from the dangers and problems arising from such situations.

Article 2-B of the New York State Executive Law creates The the State Disaster Preparedness Commission to meet this need.

Commission is composed of heads of various state agencies named in the law, plus three additional members appointed by the Governor, two of whom are local chief executives. The Commission's chairman is designated by the Governor. The Chief of Staff to the Governor, head of the Division of Military and Naval Affairs, is designated by law to serve as Secretariat to the Commission and provide necessary staff services. In approving the legislation, the Governor indicated that the Division of Military and Naval Af fairs shall act as the executive arm of the Commission. The Chief of Staff to the Governor has designated the Office of Disaster Preparedness within the Division of Military and Naval Affairs to perform these functions.

The Commission's powers and responsibilities are designed to develop a comprehensive system The to prevent or react Commission to is also emergencies charged or disasters within the state.

with the responsibility to assist local governments in developing disaster preparedness plans, to direct state disaster operations and coordinate state operations with local disaster operations,

~

and to provide for training to assure that responsible people are (L)' familiar with plans and procedures.

To fulfill these charges, the plan uses the concept of Comprehensive Emergency Management: comprehensive meaning all aspects of a situation, emergency meaning an extraordinary happening, and management moaning overall direction and control.

Comprehensive Emergency Management includes three interrelated critical phases:

Prevention / Mitigation: Prevention refers to those short-or long-term activities which eliminate or reduce the number of occurrences of disaster. Mitigation refers to all activities whi'h reduce the ef fects of disasters when they do occur.

The latter includes preparedness measures such as the

' development of plans and the conduct of training to save lives and minimize disaster damage.

t Response: Response activities follow the initial impact of l an emergency or disaster. Generally, they are designed to t

I minimize casualties and protect propertyThey to the extent also seek to possible through emergency assistance.

reduce the probability of secondary damage and to speed

- recovery operations, i O l

v. L01408 Recovery: Recovery activities continue until all systems return to previous levels or better. Short-term recovery returns vital life support systema to minimum operating standards. Long-term recovery may continue for many years after a disaster. Recovery activities should include g

measures to prevent or mitigate a recurrence. i t

These phases interact in an ongoing cycle, one leading naturally into another.

/ e This plan is based on the concept that operations in all three phases will begin at the leve1 of government most appropriate to give effective action. Towns, villages, and cities should turn to their county government when needed actions exceed their l capability. When needs exceed the capability of the county and its subdivisions, help may be requested from the state. Federal assistance is supplemental to that of the state and local governments and is available upon approval of a request by the l Governor to the appropriate federal agency or the President. When I

federal assistance is provided, it will normally follow the same sequence in reverse, from federal, through state, to the local I government (s) in need.

f Part One of the plan provides a common basis for joint federal, state, and local government operations. Parts Two, Three, and Four outline collective activities of all pertinent state organizations for the three phases of disaster preparedness:

prevention / mitigation, response, and recovery.

viii g

LO1493 Traditionally, disaster plans have been primarily concerned with 7- response activities. All agencies of government must assure that t all their policies, programs and projects give maximum consideration to prevention or mitigation of emergencies and disasters. Recovery efforts following a disaster must be regarded as an opportunity to correct adverse conditions, to meet the actual needs of the community, not simply to replace what hrd previously existed. Both the prevention / mitigation and recavery phases are opportunities to protect and improve the quality of life in the state. They are as important as the response phase.

They cannot be ignored or considered to cease at any given coint in time.

III. POLICY It is the policy of the state to take actions to preventtoorbe mitigate the effects of natural or man-made disasters, prepared, within its resources, to respond to an emergency or disaster, and to expedite recovery.' Function and services of the state will be maintained in a high state of readiness to prevent or minimize damage, protect and save lives, and provide for the benefit of all citizens who are or may be threatened by an emergency or who become victims of any disaster. Particular attention must be given to the needs of the poor, the elderly, the handicapped, and other groups These services will be which may be especially affected. with comparable activities coordinated to the maximum extent of local governments, other states, the federal government, and voluntary / private agencies of many types.

O 13 9

~J r - -- __

Further, i. t is the policy of the state to give assistance to local governments in these activities wherever possible, particularly upon finding that local capability is not enough to cope with the situation or that the local resources have been severely depleted. lll Nothing herein shall be construed as relieving any agency of its statutory responsibilities unless directed by executive order of the Governor during a declared State Disaster Emergency.

IV. VULNERABILITY LO1504 New York State is subject to many natural or man-made conditions which could result in an emergency or disaster.

These conditions include but are not limited to: blight, civil disturbance or terrorism, air / water contamination, drought, earthquake or volcanic activity, energy emergency, epidemic, explosion, fire / forest fire, flood or high water, hazardous material accident, hurricane, tornado or windstorm, ice jam, ice storm, infestation, landslide or mudslide, oil spill, radiological accident or incident, snowstorm or blizzard, transportation accident, wave action, or other catastrophe.

The. probability of occurrence of any one, or a combination, of these threats varies from area to area, season to season.

Analysis of the vulnerability of the state and its localities to potential disasters is important. A summary of the current analysis is contained in Appendix E.

ll)

V. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General: Prevention / mitigation, response, and recovery are general responsibilities of all levels of government but are dealt with at the lowest possible level of government. Local governments and emergency service organizations will continue in their essential role as the first line of defense. When an emergency or disaster is beyond their capability, incorporated villages, towns, and cities, except the city of New York, will request help through their respective county government. Counties and the City of New York will request State assistance through the appropriate district of fice of the Of fice of Disaster Preparednese.

If it is necessary, in the opinion of the Governor, the state will request help from federal agencies or the President.

14 g

L01505 B. Local Governments:

7,

(- 1. Each county, except those contained within the city of New York and each city is authorized to prepare disaster preparedness plans. The Commission will provide help and advice for the development of such plans. These plans should:

a. Iden'tify local and regional vulnerabilities to emergencies or disasters and the resources available to prevent or mitigate, response to, and recover from them.

b. Outline short , medium , and long-range mea-sures for improving the jurisdiction's capabilities.

c. Provide that local governments will take nec-essary actions to prevent or mitigate the ef fects of disasters and be prepared to respond when an emergency or disaster occurs.

d. Provide for the utilization of all available resources to protect against and deal with an emergency or threatening situation.

e. Provide for the utilization and coordination of programs to assist victims of disasters with particular attention to the needs of the poor, the elderly, the handicapped, and other groups which may be especially affected.

f. Provide a single source for the dissemination of public information.

()

2. Local governments should establish supplementary l agreements to interstate compacts or intergovernmental mutual aid agreements.

3. Local governments should establish and maintain records and reporting systems necessary to the l' accomplishment of the state and localrules, plansandas required by state and federal laws, regulations, l

i C. State Government:

1. The state will initiate and carry out prevention / mitigation measures for the protection of life and property and will help local l governments in similar activities. -

j

2. State help is supplemental to local efforts and is l identified in the succeeding parts of this plan.

3. Direction and control of all state response and recovery prevention / mitigation, All functions will be exercised by the Commission.

4. State agencies will establish supplementary agreements to interstate compacts, mutual aid, and intergovernmental agreements as necessary and authorized by state law.

5. Upon the occurrence of an emergency or disaster clearly beyond the capabilities and resources of state and local governments, the Governor may find that fede-al assistance is required and may request such assist ance from the President or other of ficials of the federal government.

D. Federal Government _: A wide vari 2ty of federal assistance is available, depending upon the severity and type of damage. This includes, but is not limited to, assistance under the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (PL 93-288), programs of the Corps of Engineers, Small Business Administration, and the Department of Agriculture.

2. The Commission will exerci'e s the functions, powers, and responsibilities delegated to it by Article 2-B of the Executive Law and other applicable laws.

The Office of Disaster Preparedness will carry out the Commission's routine functions.

3. Procedures for handling instructions, reports, in-formatiac, and coordination are detailed in Parts Two, Threa, and Four of this plan.

4. Agency heads will retain direction and control of the activities of their respective agencies with coordination of multi-agency opertions being 4 exercised by the Commission.

5. Local government's first line of contact with the State for emergency operations and reports is the appropriate district office of the Office of Disaster Preparedness. The district office.shall take such actions as are within its authority to resolve situations at the local level, keeping the main Office of Disaster Preparedness informed at all times.

O l 11 e l

LO1512 B. Communications:

1. Commercial telephone will be the primary means of O communication. It must be recognized, however, that in larger disaster situations telephone lines i are often disrupted and alternate means of communication are vital.

2. Many state agencies have communication systems developed to meet their own particular needs. These systems will be integrated whenever possible to support emergency operations during disaster situations.

3. The State Emergency Operating Center has capa-bility for direct radio and teletype contact with the federal government and direct contact with the ODP district offices, the Emergency Broadcasting System, and certain state agency radio contact with the local governments and the major state agencies within its juriscictions. All of these systems are equipped for automatic emerge 1cy power generation.

4. A complete study of the communications systems available to the st.te for euergency operations and the improvements required will not be a subject of this plan but will be contained in a separate document.

C. Warning:

1. The Nar.ional Warning Systen (NAWAS) is primarily designed for warning of impending enemy attack but lll is used for warning of potentially dangerous situations of all sorts. It is a nationwide system providing voice communications using dedicated telephone lines.

2. The State Warning Point is the control point for NAVAS within the state and is located in the State Emergency Operating Center, with remote capability in the communications unit at State Police headquarters to ensure 24-hour coverage.

3. There are 168 NAWAS cutlets in the state, i including:

a. At least one in each county, and in each of 14 cities, at a location where 24-hour coverage is provided by the police, sheriff, or fire dispatcher,

b. In the EOC of each county and city civil de-

! fense jurisdiction.

c. In each ODP district office, with the capa-bility for the district to control the circuits within its jurisdictions,

d. In all of the National Weather Service instal-lations in the state.

O 1 12

a .. .

LO1513

e. In the U.S. Department of Energy offices at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory.

O. f. In the Indian Point Number 2 and 3 and the <

Shoreham Nuclear Power Plants.

4. The National Weather Service will use NAWAS to dis-seminate information on adverse weather conditions, severe weather watches, and warnings at its discretion.

5. NAWAS may be used by local governments to report important information to district or state levels of ODP.

6. Upon receipt of warning information via NAWAS or any other means, local officials should use every means possible to ensure timely and accurate dissemination to other concerned officials and, where necessary, to the public.

D. Public Information:

+ 1. Assumptions:

a. During and following disasters, people both inside and outside the emergency area will seek information concerning the situation.

b. Upon the onset of a disaster, local public information officers will begin disseminating emergency information, operating from the local Emergency Operating Center.

()

fs

c. The news media will fill an active role in disseminating disaster information.

d. An efficient and effective means of dissem-inating emergency information and instructions can be achieved by a cooperative program between government and the news media.

2. Prevention / Mitigation:

a. With the help of other agencies and the Com-mission and under the coordination of the Office of Disaster Preparedness, public information briefings, news releases and all information possible on the prevention and mitigation of disasters will be generated by the focal agency for that particular type of disaster, as outlined in Part Two of this plan. The focal agency will ensure appropriate dissemination of such information,

b. When it appears that conditions which could result in a disaster situation are present or probable, information will be disseminated to lessen or mitigate the effects of the pending disaster: Such information should include a specific definition of the threat, its unique O l 13 e

L01514

'$ characteristics, identification of evacuation l routes if appropriate, and location of access & J routes to predesignated disaster assistance W f ac ili.t ie s . Involved agencies will coordinate information output to avoid contradictory instructions. Copies of all public l information releases will be forwarded to the Office of Disaster Preparedness,

c. The Governor's Press Office will be kept fully informed of the situation and of actions being taken to mitigate its effects. l 1

3. Response:

a. When it becomes apparent that conditions are certain to result in a disaster, and during disaster operations, it is essential that accurate, reliable information be provided to the public. For this reason all public information briefings, news releases, and emergency information relative to the response to a disaster and the short-tecm recovery therefrom will be provided principally through the Governor's Press Office, the Public Information Office for the Office of Disaster Preparedness, or the Public Information Office of another state agency as designated by the Commission. The appropriate Public Information Office will be the principal a source of official information and will W coordinate with concerned local Public Information Offices and any Public Information Of fice established by the federal gov srnmant.

b. Information provided during this stage will fo-cus on actions essential to the survival, health and safety of the population within the disaster area, secondary area hazards and locations of medical, health and congregate l care facilities.

l c. Information relative to the saving of lives will receive top priority at all times.

4. Recovery:

a. When emergency operations terminate, the need for recovery and rehabilitation information will continue.

b. Information disseminated during this period will be coordinated by the Of fice of Disaster Preparedness and include announcements concerning designation of unsafe structures, 1 14 O

i .

LO1515 location of one-stop disaster assistance centers, and the availability of various p/

\_

g disaster relief programs such as temoorary housing, employment opportunities, and financial assistance.

c. Information regarding longer term recovery in-cludes scheduled planning, reorganization and rebuilding meetings or public hearings, and other information necessary to ensure a well-planned and coordinated effort.

E. Damage Assessment:

1. Damage Assessment Teant are groups of individuals from one or more agencies with particular expertise to:

a. Provide technical assistance to local govern-ments in determining and combating the effects of a disaster.

b. Gather information and report to the Office of Disaster Preparedness on the type, extent, and impact of damage.

c. Conduct damage surveys to assist in recovery and in determining the amount of federal assistance required, if any.

2. State Damage Assessment Teams will be dispatched to the scene of an emergency or disaster when it becomes apparent that state assistance might become required. These teams will be composed of O individuals assigned from various agencies, depending upon the type of emergency or disaster and expertise required.

3. Information gathered on the type and extent of damage will be reported promptly to the Office of Disaster Preparedness to be used by the Commissioa in directing and coordinating appropriate state assistance for the localities affected and for determining if a recommendation should be made to the Governor to request federal assistance.

4. Information gathered during emergency operations that might be used to prevent or mitigate damage will be reported immediately and directly to the responsible state agency field representative or local governmental authority for action, prior to reporting to the Office of Disaster Preparedness.

5. To insure rapid response, designated state agencies will preassign personnel on a regional basis to participate in damage assessment teams.

6. With the cooperation and assistance of state agencies, the Office of Disaster Preparedners will conduct training for qualified employees in the forms, methods, and procedures to be used in making damage assessment su rvey s .

• • *- 1 15 9

F. Evacuation:

LO1516

1. The hazard causing an evacuation, the direction and O distance of movement necessary, weather conditions, availability of routes, transport and housing, and many other considerations will vary with the type and location of the emergency or disaster. Such a wide variety of variables preclude detailed, specific evacuation plans in almost all incidents.

Guidelines detailing responsibilities and functions need to be made in any case.

2. Where there is known to be the danger of an emer-gency or disascer of a specific type at an established location, the state will help local governments prepare detailed evacuation plans in advance, with provision for variables such as weather conditions that cannot be predicted.

3. In accordance with Section 24.1.b. of the Executive Law, following the proclamation of a local state of emergency, the chief executive of a county, city, town or village may designate specific zones within which the occupancy and use of buildings and the ingress and egress of vehicles and persons may be prohibited or regulated.

4. Evacuation is, by its nature, a localized operation and will normally be conducted at the local government level with state support when necessary.

The state, through the Commission, may make expert advice available to the local chief executive regarding evacuation. (l)

5. In an evacuation of any size or duration, housing is a serious.censideration. Crossing co:nty or state boundaries may be required. 'Jhere possible ,

local mutual aid agreements should be entered into in advance for both circumstances.

G. Training and Education:

1. The Commission has the responsibility to provide training and education in prevention / mitigation, response. and recovery measures. In meeting this responsibility, every effort will be made to involve government officials who have disaster related functions.

2. The Office of Disaster Preparedness will conduct an active training and education program for state and local agencies, voluntary / private agencies, and the public. This prograu will include:

a. Distribution of information on the prevention and mitigation of disasters;

b. Assistance in developir.g state agency plans and procedures;

c. Assistance in developing local disaster plans; O

l 16 l

l

LO1517

d. Training of damage assessment personnel;

e. Training courses and exercises designed to im-(~)x

(, prove prevention / mitigation, response and recovery skills; and

f. Developing and conducting specialized training courses and exercises.

3. State agencies have a responsibility to:

a. Participate in Commission training courses and exercises and assist in their conduct when re-quested;

b. Train agency employees as appropriate to assure an awareness of the hazards common in the state and of their duties and responsibilities in the prevention / mitigation of, response to, and recovery from disaster; and

c. Conduct workshops and/or seminars to provide information regarding new and current operating procedures and available resources for all governmental and voluntary / private agency personnel participating in the implementation of agency's assigned emergency functions.

VIII. RADIOLOGICAL ACCIDENTS / INCIDENTS New York State has continually addressed the matter of the safety of its citizens in regard to nuclear radiation, and the New York State Department of Health is the lead agency in

() this particular area.

The New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and county radiological emergency preparedness plans have been developed to provide a coordinated effort by federal, state, and local agencies to prevent or minimize hazards to life and health in the event of a radiation accident.

In addition, each nuclear facility is required to develop, maintain, and update its emergency or site contingency plans which are reviewed periodically.

Both the state plans and the facility plans are subject to federal requirements and approvals. There are two federal agencies which play a significant role in radiological emergency response planning matters. One, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear emergency planning and response.

The second agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC),

by law, can grant licenses for nuclear power plants only if the health and safety of the public is adequately protected.

1 17 4

e

LO1518 Since the NRC has lead responsibility for the development of emergency preparedness guidance for licensees, and FEMA has a similar responsibility for state and local agencies, the need a

W for joint participation in the review, assessment, and concurrence with regard to state and local radiological emergency plans led to a Memorandum of Understanding with .

both the NRC and FEMA as signatories to the document.

Under the direction of the State Disaster Preparedness Commission, state health and other involved state agency officials have an on-going working relationship with the federal agencies and nuclear facility operators in the effort to improve, update, and be in compliance with radiological emergency preparedness plan requirements to insure the safety and health of state residents.

Specifically, New York State designates to the Department of Health the responsibility for response to radiation accidents.

Details concerning emergency response to accidents at fixed nuclear facilities are set forth in the New York State Radiological Emergency Prevaredness Plan. Details for radiation accidents not tavolved in fixed nuclear facilities are set forth in the Department of Health's Environmental Health Manual, item RAD 320. The Commission will provide support in responding to such accidents including, but not limited to, communications, warning, radiological monitoring, and coordination.

L01521 PREVENTION / MITIGATION em

1. BACKGROUND

(_)

A review of New York's (and the nation's) record of emergencies and disasters shows that these calamities are occurring more frequently, and the loss of life and property has increased greatly. Many causes contribute to these expanding problems. Short- and long-term climatological changes, technological development, and community arraigements and patterns of residential and industrial land use nave increased the opportunity for emergencies and disasters which, coupled with population growth, escalate the probability of loss of life.

There is also an increasing awareness of the disastrousThe nature of many of these man-made and natural events.

evolving social attitudes include a belief in government responsibility.

II. PURPOSE The purpose of the prevention / mitigation portion of the Disaster Preparedness Plan is to improve and enhance the state role in preventing some of the potential disasters and reducing the losses resulting from those disasters that can't be prevented. To carry out this highly desirable purpose or requires identification of agency activities which prevent for mitigate disasters, establishment of a focal point (c). consideration of these activities for all types of

,, threatening disasters, and creation of a disaster prevention /

mitigation awareness throughout state government.

III. GENERAL Prevention of all disasters is an idealHowever, so beyond attainment reduction of that it doesn't warrant discussion. Most natural disasters the number of incidents is possible.

(flood, blizzard, earthquake, etc.) are not preventable.

Some developing technology, such as cloud seeding to cause precipitation at selected locations and lubrication of geologic faults to allow gradual earth slippage instead of cataclysmic quakes, may be available at some future date.

But, for now, it's the man-made disaster that canForesight be prevented or reduced in number of occurrences.

coupled with preventive planning and activity is required and has a real potential for the ultimate in disaster management "no-disaster " Prevention activity can be quite as simple as labeling and containment regulations for hazardous chemicals, determining relative location of incompatibles in the make-up of a train, or assigning special routes and times for transportation of dangerous cargo, l

23 I

LO1522 The many opportunities for prevention are exceeded by the number of possibilities for mitigation. Every emergency, man-made or natural, that causes loss of life or property can be "mitigated". The losses can be reduced and the effects minimized by various activities carried out prior to the onset of the incident. Many of these are easily recognized routine actions which are familiar, but probably not usually thought of as disaster mitigation. The purchase of fire trucks and their location in neighborhood stations, provision of water supplies and hydrants, and the training of firefighters all mitigate against the fire of community disaster proportions. Construction of levees or dikes to prevent flood waters from reaching residential neighborhoods or areas of high economic value are common flood mitigation activities. Land use regulations, which prevent housing i development in a flood plain, would also mitigate flood loss.

Preparation of plans and the development of vulnerability surveys are among the needed and available activlties which can reduce the impact of the disasters which will occur.

The survey of vulnerability and the development of probabilities or predictions is a necessary early need for prevention and mitigation. A knowledge of what kinds of things can happen and where they may happen is a community is a basic element for planning. Such information supports the selection and allocation of resources to prevention /mitiga-tion activities.

Public education regarding vulnerability is a great need. llh Public awareness of what can happen, where it can happen and, most importantly, that there are protective / reductive activities available is basic to the whole process of prevention / mitigation. Public education is in itself a mitigative activity for use by all levels of government.

Nevertheless, society has not done a great deal of what can and should be done to avoid or deflate effects of disasters.

IV. ROLES The private citizen and all levels of government have a role in the prevention and mitigation of disasters. It is generally recognized that most prevention / mitigation activity has been and will be carried out at the private citizen and local government levels. A review of the activities that can prevent or reduce the ef fects of the many kinds of disaster potential in New York State show that they are mostly available to and best applied by the prd.vate citizen or local government (s).

The state has a substantial role notwithstanding the emphasis on local application. The state role can be divided into three broad functional levels of application of the state's effort:

O 24

(

., LO1523

1. Activities which will be carried out exclusively by the private sector or local government. These may be '

promoted or encouraged by state effort such as x- vulnerahility reperts, education activity, and similar indirect means.

2. Activities which will generally be carried out by private interests or local government, but can be directly influenced by state activity. These could be local assistance funding, standard setting, preparation of model statutes and all similar activities where state law and programs put the state hand or, but not in, the act.

3. Activities t:arried out by the state directly as program functions of the state. Thece would include such things as state-corducted training, state regulatory programs, design and construction of state facilities and the creation of new or amended (state) law.

The federal role in prevention / mitigation is to provide and support education, planning and advisory assistance programs, and a flood insurance program. Many federal regulatory programs such as transportation and environmental regulations are disaster prevention or mitigation. Construction of dams, levees and other flood control works are also among the federal functions which help to prevent or mitigate disaster.

Federal recognition of the increased frequency of occurrence and level of loss to disasters has caused the reorganization O. of the federal disaster system. The federal administration's acknowledgment of the need for a comprehensive emergency management system supports New York State's new approach and emphasis. It is to be expected that the increased recognition and new organization at the federal level will bring about an expanded and broadened role at that level, f

The state vill centinue to work closely with.the federal l

government in all aspects of emergency manegament and will continue its general role of intermediary b6 tween federal and local government end private citizen. Chart 11-A on Page 2-7 illustrates the general relationship of the private sector and the several levels of government to activities which prevent or mitigate disaster.

V. STATE FUNCTION - GENERAL It is the policy of the state to take actions to prevent or mitigate the effects of natural or man-made disasters and, further, to provide help to local governments in these activities wherever possible.

25

LO1524 Historically, state entry has been through a mixture of law, regulation and agency discretion. Some of the state effort hns consiste.d of programmed prevention / mitigation activity, but a substantial portion has been only incidental inclusion in other program purpose'. s Such partial and inctdental application of the many agencies' varied interests to the several kinds of disaster potential in New York State has resulted in very uneven attention to this phase of emergency management.

It is the goal of the state to promote further activity in the highly desirable direction of preventing or decreasing the occurrence of, and lessening the impact of, disasters.

The re fore , this plan directs an improved attention to this phase by describing a system of responsibilities which will increase and enhance the state's contribution to disaster prevention / mitigation.

VI. STATE FUNCTIONS - SPECIFIED LO1528 Synopsis: The Disaster Preparedness Commission has ggg oversight, general coordination and overview responsibility J for the state. The Office of Disaster Preparedness will carry out the required day-to-day coordination and overview functions for the Commission. All agencies of the state will ,

give consideration to disaster prevention / mitigation effects i of their programs where possible. For each disaster type, an assigned focal agency will make suggestions for the enhancement of state e f forts. Agencies which have program activities which help prevent or mitigate disasters will continue to carry out those activities. State agency l assignments of responsibility, as described in this synopsis I and in more detail on the following pages, are illustrated in Table ll-B on page 2-10.

A. Oversight and General Coordination: The Disaster Preparedness Commission will perform an oversight function for this phase and has general coordination and overview responsibility for the Disaster Preparedness Program.

B. Overview and Coordination: The Office of Disaster Preparedness will carry out the necessary func tions and i day-to-day requirements of the overview and coordination role for all state assignments in the prevention / mitigation phase. The Office will assist the Commission in its oversight function as the Commission l may require. llg C. All Agency Consideration: Assur'ance that consideration I is given to preventing disasters or decreasing thei-impacts is necesssry if the state is to fu ll;. e:m eute l its disaster preparedness responsibilities to its citizens. Therefcte, every state agency will give thought and consideration to the n. pacts on disaster prevention / mitigation, which may be included in, or result from, any and all actions of the agency.

Positive influence of state activities on disaster prevention /mitiiatian is highly desirable and is a goal l

i for all state.ag2ncies. Jsll agencies should include these positive lafluences in their cetions where they l

l are reasonable and compatible with their program l

purposes and goals.

l Actions which would have a negative impact on tne l

i prevention or mitigation of disasters shecid be avoided or modified to preclude the negative impact.

t D. Focal Agency: To focus additional stste attention on the prevention / mitigation phase and ennance the state effort through o degr+e of scncentrated eencern, a focal 26

L01527 agency for each disaster type has been designated as shown in Chart II-C on page 2-11. Focal agencies nave

\ been selected for their program relationship to the type of disaster or to its effect, or because of a history of interest in the disaster type or effect. Focal agency designation assigns a focal point of concern and consideration for the state role in prevention or mitigation of the particular type of disaster. The focal agency will suggest ways to improve the state role and may describe new or improved activities which could be carried out by the state and means or methods of improving state prevention / mitigation activity in relation to other levels of government and the private sector. In summary, a focal agency will provide a focus of state concern for the prevention / mitigation phase for each of the disaster types.

The designated focal agency will direct suggestions for improving or enhancing disaster prevention / mitigation in New York State to the Disaster Preparedness Commission.

The Commission will then direct such suggestions for improvement or enhancement to the Governor, the State Legislature or Executive Of fices, or Agencies for appropriate attention and action. Focal agencies will submit an annual report for the preceding calendar year to the Disaster Preparedness Commission by January 31 of each year. The report should describe the agency's actions and efforts in carrying out the disaster prevention / mitigation focal agency function for the

({} report year.

E. Agencv Activities: .Many actions of people or.

governments contribute to the prevention or mitigation of disaster. In this plan those actions have been divided in'to eleven prevention / mitigation activities which are defined and described on pages 2-12 through 2-14 l A survey of state agencies has identified activities which the agencies do, or could, carry out which contribute to disaster prevention or mitigation. These activities may be condue:cd by direction of law, rule, or agendy discretion. The :dentified ac tions are normal functions of the agency included in their rules, programs, or projects.

Agencies will continue to perform the activities (1) l indicated. Additions to agency activity listings should i occur as the relationship of various state programs to  :

disaster prevention / mitigation is more fully realized, .

as programs develop and, most particularly, as state I programs are added or amended under the influence of

, increased state interest in comprehensive emergency management.

1 VII. EXPLANATION OF PREVENTION / MITIGATION ACTIVITIES A. COMPLIANCE / ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS 3

Disasters can be prevented / mitigated by the regulatory

functions of state agencies. For example: the i regulation of transportation prevents and reduces accidents; the inspection of food prevents consumption of unwholesome food; the inspection of buildings, l bridges and dams prevents their collapse or will at l least provide warning. State oversight is a key element l in preventing / mitigating disasters.

B. EDUCATION /PUBLIC AWARENESS State agencies can provide information to the public which will allow it to take actions to reduce the effects of disasters. A well informed public will be self sufficient and prepared so follow and understand official instructions. ggg C. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES State agencies have equipment and supplies which can be used to respond to disasters. The identification and acquisition of such equipment is a preventive / mitigative activity. Radio systems, emergency generators, monitoring equipment and vehicles are examples of this activity.

D. LAND ZONING / LAND USE PROGRAMS When the history of disasters in New York State is reviewed, it is apparent that they can occur repetitively in the same locations. Common sense clearly indicates that with wise land use management, disasters can be avoided or reduced. The national Flood Insurance Program is an example of this type of activity.

E. MONITOR POTENTIAL DISASTERS The agencies identified in the tables have the responsibility to monitor potential disaster conditions, to identify specific site and anticipate situations which could develop into a disaster. A reporting and warning system should be formalized, utilizing field staff and other agency resources, to relay information through the State Agency Liaison to the Disaster Preparedness Commission. In times of increased threat, ll) 2 12 I

LO1531 this reporting / warning system should be expanded in order to provide the DPC with the best possible

() information.

F. PLANS / PLANNING tee act of preparing plans is a preventive / mitigative activity. Planning and the dissemination of plans allows all participants to operate based on the same guidelines thus reducing confusion. In addition to state agencies preparing plans for their own activities, they can support and encourage the development of local plans.

G. PREVENTION PROJECTS, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS Many state agencies' projects, policies and programs, with their influence on local government activities, will prevent or reduce the effects of disasters.

Facilities can be designed, constructed and maintained to withstand the effects of severe weather and other hazards. Policies can be implemented, and emphasis can be adjusted, to influence and advocate prevention / mitigation activities at the State and Local level. State agency programs can be carred out that will have a direct effect on preventing or reducing disasters.

H. RESOURCE ALLOCATION / MUTUAL ASSISTANCE The management and mobilization of available resources can influence what effect disasters will have. When allocating resources, state agencies should consider the

(~#T

'- impact this will have on communities to cope with disasters. When local resources are clearly unable to handle situations, mutual assistance, if properly planned for, will mitigate disaster effects.

I. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Many state agencies have specialized capabilities (i.e.

engineering, scientific) which can be provided for guidance and support to communities faced with disasters. Due to the cost of such services , localities cannot always provide such assistance independently. The provision of state agency technical assistance to communities can prevent / mitigate disasters.-

i J. TRAINING Disaster plans require trained personnel to implement them. State agencies can provide this training for emergency workers and public officials.

t l

\ 2 13

~

LO1532 K. VULNERABILITY INFORMATION -

When the records of past disasters are compiled and studied, the evaluation may predict future vulnerability and frequency of such events. Some state agencies have a formalized program of reporting information relating to specific types of disasters. This information can be .

used to determine the threat or likelihood of disasters.

RESPONSE

I. INTRODUCTION

() The State of New York has a responsibility to develop, maintain and improve its capability to coordinate the use of all available resources during any period of disaster emergency. As the variety and costs of response to disasters have grown, New York has developed an efficient and cost-effective method to locate and utilize available resources at all levels of government and the private sector. .

This section deals with the actual physical reaction to a disaster occurrence and describes how to locate government, state government and the private sector will coordinate their activities to reduce the impact of a disaster.

Article 2-E of the Executive Law states, "It shall be the policy of the state that local government and emergency service organizations continue their essential roles as the first line of defense in times of disasters." Local government has the primary responsibility for responding to an emergency and will use local resources and, when, necessary, request additional assistance from other jurisdictior.s. State government, by contrast, must be prepared to maintain or accelerate current services and provide new services to local governments unable to manage all aspects of an emergency. State government the re fo re ,

performs a support function to local government and becomes a prime participant in disaster response when local resources

(]) have become exhausted.

l The federal government becomes involved when the state has in-sufficient resources.

The private sector's available resources may be summoned to complement and/or supplement all levels of governmental ,

l support.

A coordinated and effective plan can direct the efforts of local, state, and federal governments, in concert with the private sector, in taking immediate steps to lessen the initial effects of a disaster emergency as well as to remedy the resulting long range damages.

II. THE RESPONSE PROCESS The belief that there is a "Super Agency" that goes to work when a disaster occurs is baseless. What does exist is a network of interagency expertise and resources that is escalated. from normal day-to-day responsibilities into an effective mix of whatever disaster response actions are necessary to address a disaster.

O 33 i

' )

j

The Beginning/ Local Effort to1577 A disaster is an occurrence of widespread or severe damage or l[ injury to heal th, social structure or processes, or the loss (g) of life or property, resulting from natural or man-made ,

causes. The threat of a disaater is usually first recognized I at the local level; local governments have first line i responsibility to address such an emergency and to utilize l all available resources to protect their citizens. During this initial reaction period, they may also have the support and assistance of the regional or district staff of state agencies and the district offices of the Office of Disaster Preparedness. (Refer to Chart III-A, page 3-8. If emergency conditions continue to expand, local governments may be required to take further actions. Consideration may be given by the Chief Executive to the declaration of a "Local State of Emergency" and/or a Request for Ass.istance from the state. These decisions are based on the need for a higher and wider level of coordination. Through either consideration, local governments alert the state to the potential need of direct aid from the state. The district offices of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and the regional / district staf fs of involved state agencies will alert their main offices.

These conditions have occurred:

An emergency threatens...

Normal operations have accelerated to emergency a levels... W Local government (s) have coordinated their capacities to respond and protect...

The Of fice of Disaster Preparedness and regional / district state agencies have been contacted and information is flowing...

Local, ODP and regional state staff have assessed the disaster potential and damage...

Ef forts have required more local resources. . .more local capacity...more local budget...

A "Local State of Emergency" is declared.

At this point in the developing scenario, the Response Section of this state plan can be implemented.

Escalation / State Assistance The request for state aid or the declaration of "Local State of Emergency" may be made by a single village, town, city, county, or any combination thereof. Contact with the state for these levels of local government is through the O

34

0 .o .

respective county to the district office of the Office of Disaster Preparedness, to the main office of the Office of Disaster Preparedness (Refer to Chart III-A, page 3-9.)

The Of fice of Disaster Preparedness will then determine the

(-}

(- appropriate state response. This can range from one particular state agency providing assistance through multiple agency assistance. The director of the respective district office of the Office of Disaster Preparedness will act as the coordinator of state and local response efforts at this stage of state involvement.

When there is a large scale disaster resulting in the declaration of a "State Disaster Emergency" by the Governor, the Disaster Preparedness Commission will consider the establishment of a temporary organization to provide for the integration and coordination of efforts of local, state, federal and private resources. Upon establishment of this organization, the Commission will appoint a State Coordinating Officer (SCO), who will coordinate'the efforts and, in cases of disaster escalation where federal participation is requested and forthcoming, act as interface with the Federal Coordinating Of ficer (FCO).

As the official coordinator of state agency resources, the SCO will speak in the name of the Commission and for the state (Refer to CHART III-D, page 3-19.)

()

I f

l Wider Problems / Federal Assistance The flow and development of the response organization may widen in some disasters to the point that state resources are severely strained and federal assistance is required. In these situations, following a declaration of a "State Disaster Emergency", the Disaster Preparedness Commission will determine if a presidential declaration should be requested and make the appropriate recommendations to the Governor (Refer to CHART III-C, page 3-17.)

This escalation process, as well as the return to normal period immediately after a disaster, is the same regardless of disaster type or intensity. The main characters that respond to a particular disaster may change, but the process of involving needed expertise remains'the same; local government to state government to federal Eachgovernment, all own must accept its supplemented by the private sector.

responsibility and work in close coordination with each other.

recovery from the lasting effects of the disaster is all that remains. g 4

LO1581 III. INFORMITIONAL CONTACT AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE (CHART ZZZ-A)

Informational contact is an ongoing syst'em during normal conditions and during the escalation of an impending disaster a emergency. Each village, town or city makes contact wir.h one W another in mutual aid and with their respective county level of government. The Chief Executive at the county level will determine the need for further centralized direction and the necessity for a request for state assistance. Simultaneously, the county will contact the district office of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and regional / district staff of state agencies. Each contact point in this threeway information flow (county, ODP, state agencies) will interact with the others in an effort to keep vital resources and expertisc available to the disaster area. This expertise enables ongoing damage assessment of the disaster and the provision of accurate information to decision makers.

During further escalation where the service needs exceed the capability of regional state offices, each will routinely contact their main office for assistance. Note should be taken of the continual interface of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and the state agencies at all levels of any disaster emergency. Horizontal lines of communication are as important as the vertical flow lines.

A request for assistance and/or a "Lecal State of Emergency" introduces the flow of information up this chart along with the request to the Disaster Preparedness Commission through I

the Office of Disaster Preparedness. The Commission will determine the level of response necessary to supplement local lll government based on the information it receives and the availability of the resources.

Prior to this request or local declaration, the Commission will assume no direct control or implementation of coordination of the state resources. Each regional / district / state 2ency should be prepared to answer a local request for assistance and each district office of the Office of Disaster Preparedness is equipped to coordinate such assistance.

LO1593 VI. STATE AGENCY RESPONSE ACTIVITIES The following tables and narratives describe state agency disaster response activities. The response tables show state agencies that have a primary and/or a supporting role ia one

(]) or more activities usually involved in disaster situations.

The response narratives explein the agency's resources available withfn a disaster .r.toonse activity.

A. RESPONSE TABLES (Pages 3 .

• naus,h 3-71)

Purpose:

To provide a ready .erence showing which state agencies have a prina- cnd/or supporting role in providing one or more of the activities usually involved in disaster situations.

General: At the upper lef t-hand. corner of the form, response is printed to indicate the disaster phase. or.

the right-hand side of the form, the type of disaster is indicated with its definition printed, below. There is a separate page for each of the 23 categorized disasters.

At the bottom of the leser lef t-hand section of the page the initials "P" for Primary and "S" for Support and a special notation, (*), for the Office of Disaster Preparedness is used. The Primary designation means an agency is involved in an activity because of law or regulation. The Support designation indicates the rs agency is not required by law or regulation to be

\ involved, but by agency discretion or determination.

The asterisk for the Of fice of Disaster Preparedness reflects the unique role ODP plays acting as an intermediary between loca: governments, state agencies, federal government, private sector and voltntary/

private agencies to coordinate the delivery of services and resources to the affected areas. .The activitics listed on the lef t-hand side of the form are those usually involved in disaster situations. Some disasters require activities specific to the type of disaster.

The bottom of the activities list identifies such spec'ific. activities as appropriate.

Toward the top-center of the form, the words Participating Agencies appear and directly under this heading are elongated boxes which contain the i=ames of the agencies involved in activities relating to the particular disaster.

How To Use This Table: When activities in che Response phase are indicated,'the user should first turn to the page containing the appropriate disaster type (located at top-right of the form). By looking down the alphabetized listing of activities, the user can lccate O '

3 21

LO1593 the needed activities. By looking to tha right of the individual activity, any box containing either a "P",

"S" or an (*) will indicate an agency has a role to play in that activity. The agency can be identified by following the column upward, to the name of the agency lll listed in that column.

These tables should be used in conjunction with the Re-sponse Narratives which includes narrative summaries of agencies' responsibilities by activities. (Refer to pages 3-74 through 3-107.)

B. RESPONSE NARRATIVES

Purpose:

To provide the user with some details about the various agencies' resources available within specific t :.uponse activities.

General: This is a nsrrative-type form which lists the activities (alphabetic.11y) usually needed in a disaster. Under each activity, the agencies (alphabetized) having some role to play in the particular activity are listed. A brief description is given of the kinds of services each can provide whether it be in a primary or supporting mode.

How To Use This Narrative Form: This narrative form should be used in conjunction with the Response Tables.

When the user locates the needed listed activity, the m

W various agencies' involvement is described in a brief statement af ter each agency name. This permits the user to determine the resources available by individual agency and collectively by those listed. The primary denoted agencies are required to provide the activity listed to the extent such agency has the resources available. The supportive agencies can be called upon to furnish the needed services as available.

NOTE: While the activities of the Division of Military and Nasal Affairs are noted on the tables in the same manner as any other agency, these activities are subject to the following conditions: all activities of the state military forces under the Division of Military and Naval Af fairs must be in accordance with Section 6, Article 1, Military Law of M 3w York State. State militar forces can play a primaty role in New York State di- .ers, only after all civilian resources have been -y committed. Activation of their participation -

achieved only by an Executive Order from the 2. .sc.

. L01660 RECOVERY

1. PURPOSE

() The recovery portion of the State Plan is intended for elected and appointed state and local officials. This is unlike the prevention / mitigation and response portions, which primarily describe what the state does or should do, and when.

During the recovery phase, many of the daily working assumptions are not valid. The communities' dynamics and operation of governments are now based on community needs created by the event.

This section provides information to work within this new situation. It will indicate 1) some of the difficult policy choices to be faced, 2) the programs and resources which individual state agencies have that can be utilized by state or local government, 3) some of the criteria and the implications upon which any decision should be based. The objective is to improve future decisions.

A disaster involves personal hardship and tragedy. It also presents opportunities to restructure the community and improve the quality of life. This encompasses: the reduction of future vulnerability,. greater efficiency of economic activity and service delivery, improved social equity for individual opportunity, and improved community amenitites. It includes all those esthetic physical qualities O- which give a place a uniqueness and an identity. These aspects of a community are things that cust be decided soon after an occurrence.

Following a disaster, there is a need to reestablish the individual's and community's sense of identity and confidence in themselves. This need generates the program choices governments will have to make and which also relate to the quality of life in the community.

This plan is a document for all parties concerned. It tells any concerned party what the state will do, and how, so that 1 they may relate to it as they perf-< their tasks and responsibilities.

Recovery is community development .a the broadest physical and social terms that those two words can convey. It "refers to conscious, disaster linked, nonemergency activities which would not otherwise have been undertaken... Change is the es-sence of the recovery period."

L01661 II. OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESSES A. General ggg

• In many respects recovery activities do not depend on the type of disaster which caused the damage. They reflect the scope of the disaster's effects, either in terms of the size of the geographic area covered or the severity of the damage sustained. Physical improvements to land, as well as the basic choices of the uses to which land is put, often represent political, legal, financial, and engineering choices which are complex.

Recovery planning must reflect the fact that often the decisions about the form of recovery are initiated at different levels. For example, planning may be local, but funding may be federal. This split between the ability to follow through on a decision and the ability only to advise or respond to someone else's initiative is, of course, critical to decisions on the role to be played by each level of government.

The recovery phase presents an opportunity to build a better future. Emergencies and disasters often bring about results, such as the burning of a building or the clearance of a flood plain, that would have been dif ficul t to achieve under the normal political process.

In addition, actions may be taken to mitigate against the occurrence of a similar disasters in the future.

Money plays an important role in any recovery. Fire and flood insurance are two of the most common types of readily available funds. If an individual has applicable insurance--and on a large scale, there is likely to be a mixed pattern of those who do and do not--then there often has to be a fairly quick settle-ment with that victim. As soon as an individual or business gets this money--it may only be a matter of days or a few weeks--he is going to have the ability to act and implement whatever decision is made regarding rebuilding or relocating away from the area. Governments cannot postpone decisions as the communities will often begin changing in an irreversible fashion. Any idea of devising a prevention / mitigation strategy using building codes or site planning regulation techniques to reduce vulnerability to flood, windstorm, earthquakes, fire, erosion, etc., will fail if rebuilding has started. This is the reason one of the first policy issues that local officials will need to consider is whether a temporary halt to building permits should be instituted.

Recovery is often more indirect involvement than response. Many may be involved in recovery who were not involved in the other phases. While the original O

44

LO1862 disaster may have involved only the local government in the response mode, the recovery may involve federal and state people in financial and land use decisions. The state government's position is to coordinate and act as

() a broker between the parties involved.

1. Time Sequence The advance warning time before a man-made or natural disaster strikes normally ranges from seconds to days. The emergency response period usually is measured in similar units, especially hours and days. In recovery, however, activities range from days to years. The key to understand recovery is to first look at things in terms of activities, not at time.

Historical analysis by the National Governors' Association indicates that recovery activities do not have random patterns of time spans, but ratEer tend to cluster. For the scale of disasters that can be expected to occur in a large state like New York, one group of immediate recovery activities will cluster and are likely to end in two, three, or four weeks. The study found that those which do not end quickly will probably last for months and years. Certain types of necessary activities and their time spans, such as the need for lawyers and courts after a disaster, will significantly differ between disasters caused.by nature and those caused by man.

([])

A scale of recovery is a function of the scale and type of the disaster. The vulnerability analysis shown in Appendix E gives an idea of the past relative frequencies and types of disasters in the state.

Case studies of typical and common American disasters show that the time context of six months to two years for "long-term" recovery embodied in present federal disaster legislat' ion is often shorter than the time it really takes for disaster effects to appear in the physical, economic, and social fabric of the community.

2. A Predictable Phase Theory If the recovery process is orderly and predictable, rather than random, there should be a general framework or theory which is descriptive of the s

' process. It would have two applications. People 45

L01663 managing a recovery effort could better determine where they are by using it as a reference. This in turn, would aid in gauging the future and whether &

W recovery progress is ahead of or behind what could be expected. Anyone doing an overall evaluation of the handling of the disaster and its aftermath would find a general framework to be helpful in judging the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization selected to manage the recovery effort.

The development of such an analytical tool based on a cycle approach has recently started. It is still in a rudimentary stage.

The review of many disasters all over the' world has yielded a positive answer to the existence of a pattern. It was found that natural disasters, and some man-made ones, can be broken into categories of activities that require periods of time expressed in units of weeks, which are generally 10 times longer than the preceeding unit of time.

More extensive and ambitious recovery projects require more time than similar clean-up and repair projects which concentrate on a building-by-build-ing approach rather than a total holiscic approach.

This factor of approximately 10 gives some preciseness to this realization.

Long-term recovery is a mixture of multiple k decisions about the future. These decisions have, on a micro scale, a common emotional base in peopl( desire to live, work, and consume goods and se. Oes the way,they normally did before the disastet, whether or not that is beneti:ial to the community. These decisions have a common requirement for the production of consumer and durable goods and services, and agreement as to the physical location of facilities to meet these needs. Successful long-term recovery is dependent on the economic and political systems' ability to marshal resources in an orderly and timely manner.

The larger a recovery effort required the more difficult it is to effectuate it under democratic decision-making processes, The following illustration gives examples of the f activities that take place in the various time l

periods and which could serve as a rough index of progress. Against such a large factor of time increase shown for.each phase, to decrease a phase by 25 to 50 percent from what would otherwise be expected for that particular disaster would be a significant achievement. (See Chart on next page).

3. Initial Damage Perceptions Officials at all levels of government are concerned with !

evaluating reports of the impacts of a disaster and-making decisions about what seem to be feasible recovery choices. You should know that in the past:

a. Public officials always speak of rebuilding a better place than before, even if they are not sure how to go about this;

b. Overambitious plans, including efforts at prevention / mitigation measures, such as changing the varied patterns in which land is used, services delivered and buildings engineered, often become rhetoric. Events and the pressures of public and private interests will often overcome the best intentions; and

c. Initial impressions concentrate on the extent of destruction. As the picture unfolds, however, it is "invariably" found that more remains than has been destroyed. This increases the pressure to rebuild as is, especially since many of the invis-ible determinants of our form of physical devel-opment, such as legal patterns of lot size and land ownership, plus underground utility and communication systems, remain.

4. Applications of Codes and Standards Contrary to what may be expected, pre-existing standards and regulations that would affect patterns of recovery, like building codes, zoning, and others, are often not strengthened and strictly Instead, in enforced immediately after a disaster.

an attempt to hasten the reduction of human suffering, the standards that do exist are relaxed and/or waived.

5. Influencing Factors for the Length and Quality of_

Recovery Research has indicated, according to Hass, Kates, and Bowden in their 1977 work, Reconstruction Following Disaster: ,

"The rate of recovery is directly related to the extent of the available recovery re-sources, the prevailing predisaster trends, and such qualities as leadership, planning, and organization for reconstruction."

This indicates that areas that have been experienc-ing economic growth or decline are likely to con-tinue that way, if we deal with disasters as they 48

L01660 have been in the past. Localities and states which have a predisaster concern about application of prevention / mitigation measures, as expressed by public and political support for creative and land O'. use planning and building co-des to reduc,e areas of identified vulnerability and hazard, are the ones that will be able to apply such techniques success-fully after the disaster as well. Those jurisdic-tions which have not built up such an administra-tive capability will be less able to deal equitably with the citizen pressures that come all at once after a disaster.

At the state level, it would appear that the following capabilities are needed to coordinate the programs and agencies necessary to bring about a high quality level of recovery:

a. A central focal point of analytical'and coordinative planning skills which could obtain the necessary political leadership when needed,

b. The power to act rapidly because management of recovery means decisions have to be made soon after a disaster occurrence.

B. Policy Issues ta be Faced

1. Regular Decision-Making Bodies vs Creation of an Extraordinary Body

)

As the life and property threatening aspects of a disaster start to wind down, all levels of government must cooperatively decide who will decide the immediate substantive issues of recovery direction. The choices are crit-ical at each level and can influence political and bureaucratic ability to implement in succeeding months and years whatever decisions were made regarding the public and private sectors. All recovery decisions will have a fiscal impact, which is reflected either in budget choices or in impact on taxable sources of revenue. All of these factors must be weighed in deciding whether the recovery phase can best be managed through existing organiz-ations or by a body created exclusively for this purpose.

2. Development of the Prevention / Mitigation Techniques It is the policy of the state that prevention /

mitigation measures be incorporated into re-covery activities whenever possible. This in-O 49

L01667 cludes both local activities in which the state has an indirect role and projects in -

which the state is directly responsible. Two of the choices that need to be addressed are

1) engineering solutions to reduce lll vulnerability to certain disaster types, and

2) land use management. Techniques to implement these choices that state officials involved with.any recovery effort should consider are, among others:

a. Adding state funds to otherwise available local and federal monies !.n order to make possible the inclusion of prevention / mitigation measures that would not otherwise have been possible.

b. The use of the considerable powers of the Urban Development Corporation to act as a large-scale developer of permanent housing, commercial, manufacturing and public facilities.

Projacts that do not address this prevention /

mitigation policy run the risk of not being approved by the state. This should not be construed as reducing the importance of providing people with timely, needed a:sistance. Rather, it may mean some innovative approaches may need to be devised ggg for the particular situation.

3. Consistency with Pre-existing State Policies New York State recovery activities after any disaster should include an examination of the applicability of, and be consistent with:

a. The State Land Use and Housing Elements of the State Development Strategy, which were adopted by the Governor in May 1978.

b. The State's Economic Strategy, which is discussed in a July 1979 65-page document from the Governor's Economic Affairs Cab-inet, "Targets of Economic Opportunity: A Strategy for Economic Development in New York State."

c. The six position papers for the Development Strategy that are in "dis-cussion draft" form and being circulated among goverr. mental, private and public bodies. In particular, for purposes of disaster recovery, attention is drawn to the papers on "Infrastructure Reliabil-O 4 10

L01668 l 1

ity," "Rural Revitalization Housing and Transportation," "Neighborhood Revitalization," and "Program Consistency, Plan integration, and Public

(]) Participation."

4. Other Policy Issues to be Addressed at Both the Local and State Level includes:

a. Whether a concerted ef fort should be made to change the basic fabric of how an area is structured, not just for hazard miti-gation, but to make the area more attrac-tive and efficient in its activities.

This would cover such things as transpor-tation systems, delivery of emergency and social services, etc.

b. How satisfactory is the financi'al assist-ance available to individuals for private property loans?

c. What kinds of personal and family social problems need a government action? It is the policy of the state to apply Af-firmative Action programs during recovery when and where' applicable. It should also be the policy of local government to utilize and coordinate programs

/~N addressing the nseds of the poor,

\b elderly, handicapped, minorities, and other groups which may be especially affected,

d. How is increased government expenditure at the local or state level going to be financed? This is particularly important after a disaster if the damage was so great that the state must augment local budgets while the local property tax base is being rebuilt.

e. Grantmanship, money, and program coordination. Even after such a large disaster that a Presidential declaration has been issued, the perception by de-cision-making officials of necessary re-covery programs for the community may not be generated until well after the deadline. If this awareness of need is late, then the criteria against which the applications were judged are no longer The based on specific disaster programs.

applications are processed O 4 11

L01669 along with all normal, and functionally' specific, program requests.

In the much more frequent disaster situa tions, in which neither a Presidential W nor Gubernatorial declaration has been made, the government aid must be chan-neled through the specific, normal pro-grams that each level of government has.

There are a wide variety of separate federal emergency and regular aid programs for these situations. (See Appendix)

The local, state and federal package must be put together cohesively to have a mix of goods and services to fit the affected area.

f. The psychological health of the community must always be kept in mind. Disaster can bring people together, but it can also overwhelm and numb. While individ-ual and community aid is essential, people need to feel self-respect and have the confidence they can still lead their own lives. This is reflected in atti-tudes among some victims that it is not all right to get aid from government, but a that it is acceptable to get aid from a W group like the Red Cross or Salvation Army.

Public participation through organized and informal voluntary groups, includin' block and neighborhood associations, is an important outlet for individual frustrations to be aired and turned ta constructive actions instead of individual despair. Such a participatory process after a disaster can help prevent inner feelings of isolation and be a force in creating new bonds and determination among people. If these groups don't already exist, they can be encouraged to form. The mechanism by which local and county recovery plans are created after a disaster also could contribute to the development of a better attitude in the community, depending on how the required public hearing., and other activities are handled.

4 12

L01670 Ill. Bridging the Policy with the Resources Recovery is community development. Community

,3

(  ; development, even without a disaster, can be a complex

'> and frustrating process under the best of circumstances.

People have a stake in it because their lives and neighborhoods.are at stake. Therefore, the process and the product cannot be separated. Poor quality in either one may cause the proposal to collapse. As stated earlier, change may be the essence of the recovery period. However, there is no certainty the change will be good.

Under normal circumstances, a wide variety of forces influence the direction of community development.

Federal air quality standards may have a major impact on what a locality can do in its zoning (if it has zoning).

Zoning, in turn, only is a necessary pre-condition for land development; someone else must implement.

Therefore, the mix of private cnd public actors, organizations and individuals, professionals and laymen, will be considerable. The recovery functions that need to be undertaken and that these people will in one way or another be involved with are shown in the following chart, which can serve as a guidepost for the person trying to perform overall coordination of the recovery operation.

The scope and depth of the state's involvement with these functions, including the degree of "hands on" f])

'- decision making versus a later review and approval, will run in tandem with the level of the disaster. A disaster that did not need a Governor's disaster declaration in its response mode would most likely be capable of having the recovery process run at the local level using regular state programs and reviews.

As the breadth of the disaster increases in scope to Gubernatorial or Presidential declarations, and as the financial impact gets further and further beyond the ability of local government to absorb, the level of active participation by state and federal personnel will increase. To the extent that plans are made in advance about the directions a community wishes to go, there will be less likelihood of the state and federal governments feeling that a locality is trying to get more money than is reasonable or is inventing project requests in order to build its own budget.

L01673 IV. BTATE 'AND OTHER RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR RECOVERY ASSISTANCE

,This section contains a series of tables laying out re-() sources available for aid. They have been designed to encourage the incorporation of prevention / mitigation

.. measures into recovery by showing the interrelationships between actions that are temporary in nature and those that are permanent relationships that may be either mutually exclusive or complementary to each other.

These tables show types of programs. They do not show who is doing the overall orchestration of the entire recovery process, though they do include the state activities which have linkages with federal programs.

Recovery, it should be noted, starts in a zig-zag manner as response ends. Out of the many different activities going on at once immediately after a disaster, each function will be phasing from a response mode into a temporary recovery mode at different rate of time.

When a large enough proportion of all those functions have phased into the more regular pace of life identi-fled with recovery, the Emergency Operations Center will-be closed and traditional office patterns of agencies be re-established. (Section V text starts on page 4-44.)

RECOVERY CHART I INTRODUCTION ggg ,

The chart on page 4-19 indicates that there are more than state agencies involved in recovery efforts. It signifies that community recovery efforts begin at the local level and are supported by the whole spectrum of bureaucracy and pri-vate agencies. It is imperative, therefore, to have a re-covery plan in place before the event occurs. State agencies should know how a particular community will view a disaster l so the state can anticipate their needs.

This . chart does not show the totality of involvement of the various bureaus and offices of govecament. It is to be viewed as a guide or an indication of the roles played in the recovery process. Following the chart, there are tables for the three phases - immediate, interim and permanent.

The correlation between the following chart and tables to the Historic Disaster Recovery Time Phases on page 4-7-are as follows:

1. Immediate-Emergency and part of the Restoration Phase

2. Interim - Restoration and part of the Reconstruction Phase

(_/ power to those units of society affected by a disaster:

i Table 1 - Immed.iate Recovery - are those services a state I agency provides during or immediately following the initial l response phase of a disaster. This could vary from one to 30 days following the occurrence. In many cases, this is temporary assistance only.

Table 2 - Interim Recovery - those services that state agencies provide beyond the 30 days plus those services which may begin after 30 days from the start of the restoration period. This is a transition phase where the activities may continue over a lengthy period and either terminate or move into the Permanent Recovery stage.

Table 3 - Permanent Recovery - those services that state agencies provide that aid the community to implement its plan of either permanent restoration with mitigation measures or new directions, to achieve the quality of life goals of the community. Considered, but not tabulated here, are the prevention / mitigation' measures that must be taken to achieve these goals.

The state agencies are presented in alphabetical order for use by these agencies to identify what phases they play a role in and for whom within each phase.

4 L01699 V. THE ROLE OF THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMISSION A. Responsibilities Under the Law The activities which the Commission and local govern- 3' ments must perform depend on whether or not a Guberna- W '

torial disaster declaration was issued for a specific-disaster. Section 22.3.c. ef Article 2-B requires that the Commission's recovery plans include "measures to coordinate State agency assistance," and

" ... measures...to assist in the development and imple-mentation of local disaster recovery plans." section 23 states that the Commission "shall prcvide assistance and advice" to the local governments that are authorized to develop overall comprehensive emergency management plans, which includes planning for, the process of recovery before a specific disaster has occurred.

If the Governor declares a disaster, then under Section 28-a, the Commission has a variety of responsibilities to:

(1) assist local governments in the preparation of "local recovery and redevelopuent plans" which they "shall prepare" or give written notice to the Commission within 15 days of the disaster as to why .

plans are not being prepared.

(2) review and comment on the recovery plans prepared by the local governments, and (3) report to the Governor and the Legislature on the status of such local recovery plans.

B. Mechanism to Fulfill Responsibilities lh The Commission may appoint, as deemed necessary and appropriate, a staff of people to the Office of Disaster Preparedness in order to have the capacity to carry out its legal mandate, with the intent of meeting the objectives-mentioned on page 4-9. The Office of Disaster Preparedness shall act for the Commission and the state in specific recovery efforts by:

(1) being the Commission's' representative on whatever local committees or agencies are set up to deal l

with recovery including, when appropriate, being a part of the "temporary organization" which Section 21.3.e. of Article 2-B authorizes the Commission to create following the declaration of a state disaster emergency if the Commission finds that "s l

i municipality is unable to manage local disaster I operations";

(2) coordinating and/or carrying out the state review l

of the recovery plans submitted to the Commission when a state disaster has been declared; (3) assisting local gcvernments in the pre naration of recovery plans either before a disaster or af ter a disaster in which the local government has request-ed the assistance of the Commission, and 1

k!I i 4 44 l

LO1700 (4) reporting to the Commission at its meetings on the status of any recovery efforts and plans.

f- C. Assignments by the Commission to State Agencies To assist either in the recovery efforts after a

(_) specific disaster or in the overall management-planning function of the Commission, the Commission may assign responsibilities to state agencies that are above and beyond an agency's normal tasks. Also to aid any agency in performing any of its jobs, the Division of the Budget will assign someone to the Commission to be a resource in resolving any questions that might arise as to availability of funds.

D. Characteristics of Local Recovery Plans and the Review Process

1. The items that local recovery plans should minimally include and the processes that should be used are specified in Sections 23 and 28-a of Ar-ticle 2-B. Section 23 refers to requirements for recovery plans being prepared after a disaster that has been the subject of a formal state disaster declaration. (See Appendix A for the text of Article 2-B.)

2. Time Limits.

All officials take note: The time limits set for the creation, submission, review and approval of local recovery plans under Section 28-a of the law are extremely tight for both local officials and the Disaster Preparedness Commission. Local

() officials also are required to hold public hearings with five days advance notice given in newspapers and broadcast on radio and television. Unless the law is changed at some future date, these limits are real and must be recognized.

3. Vulnerability Analysis.

Irrespective of any difficulties that the above time limits may create, the recovery planning process should include efforts to do a vulnerabil-ity analysis which identifies hazards and then incorporates prevention / mitigation measures to deal with them. As mentioned earlier in this Plan, failure to do so may result in rejection of both plans and requests for monetary assistance by both the state and the federal governments. The more this is done in advance as part of the regular governmental planning process, the easier it'will be to implement.

9e d 4 45

LO1701 E. Whom Do You Contact for Recovery Aid During Response?

If you are in the midst of a response to a disaster and s you do not know who the people are at the state level to deal with for recovery, contact either the New York State Office of Disaster Preparedness or the State Coordinating Of ficer for the cesponse ef fort.

EXECUTIVE LAW - ARTICLE 2-B O

"The legislature finds that the state must give leadership and direction to this important task of establishing an emergency disaster preparedness program for the protection of each person in the state.

"The legislature finds that a mutual benefit can be derived by the state and its political subdivisions by the integration of their natural disaster and peacetime emergency response functions with the civil defense program, thus utilizing local government and emergency services organizations for response to both natural c..d man-made disaster and to att&ck.

"The legislature finds that local disaster preparedness plans are essential in order to minimize potential disasters and their effects, provide for effective local responses when disasters occur and facilitate local recovery. The legislature further finds that local plans constitute an essntial part of the state-wide disaster preparedness program and that without local disaster planning, no state disaster program can be fully effective."

() ,

VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS To prepare a comprehensive disaster plan, several boundaries must be defined. The past events must be described in order to assure adequate preparedness for future situations. Present capabilities should be assessed and recommendations made that will enable responsible authorities to properly prepare for disasters /

emergencies that will occur. A vulnerability analysis is the first ,

step in this planning process.

New York State is subject to a variety of hazards, natural and man-made. Any one of these hazards can cause a disaster which would result in the disruption of on-going social processes, endangering lives and destroying property.

It is necessary to recognize potential hazards and develop planned responses should such hazards materialize. Many of these hazards can be prevented or mitigated through effective legisla-tion, land-use planning, warning, etc.

The analysis identifies the major disasters that have af-fected the State. From 1956 through September 1979, all but one (Love Canal) of the Presidential declarations of disasters /emer-gencies have been made as a result of damages from severe floods, O hurricanes, coastal storms, and severe winter storms. The number of New York counties affected range from'one to twenty-six (Agnes) in these disasters.

Flooding has been on the increase since 1968, the reasons for this increase are varied; increased population in flood plains, continued removal of forest' area, development of higher elevated areas (causing more rapid runoff), and changing weather patterns are a few of the reasons.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, and windstorms are also on the in-crease in the State. .Their damage is severe but also localized.

The National Weather Service equipment has been further refined to increase forecasting and data recording capabilities. In ad-dition, more storm information has emanated from local indivi-i duals. This combination has produced more specific information on such phenomena in the State.

The snowstorms and blizzards are always a problem in areas l

having the latitude of New York. These storms can affect very l

small areas and cause isolation and power outages to only a few families and, in other circumstances, the situatio.. can turt into l

a nine-county Presidential disaster declaration (Disaster Declara-tion #527 - February 1977, more commonly known as the "Buffalo

(} Blizzard").

E1

L01762 APPENDIX E (CONT'D)

O Landslides and mudslides are localized emergencies that occur throughout the State either because of heavy localized rain, a geological condition, or a man-caused event. Data is not avail-able to determine the need for State resources to support local governments when these events occur. It is necessary to mention that these incidents do occur and have an adverse effect on our citizens.

Drought, blight, infestation, and epidemics occur either on a continuing or periodic basis in New York as they do in all states.

i No one particular event has been of such magnitude as to require l an emcrgency response from all levels of State government. They I

are conditions that should be recognized as affecting the quality of life of the State's citizens and will be addressed accordingly.

1 Earthquakes have not caused any serious damage in New York State but should be considered in this analysis. Historically, data on this phenomena is incomplete as it has only been collected on a continuous basis since the 6nd of the 1800's. However, 25 potentially damaging earthquakes have been recorded in New York and New England since 1683, averaging one in every 13 or 14 years.

The last earthquakes of any moderate size in New York were re-corded in Massena and Attica, both in 1964. The "shocks" awakened and alarmed residents; cracked chimneys; moved furniture; and caused slight damage.

lll The foregoing natural occurrences are those events that have caused widespread damage or have posed imminent threat to lives and property of our citizens. The economic impact of the Presi-dentially declared disasters alone determine the need for a more thorough vulnerability analysis.

This analysis, like all disaster / emergency events, must begin at the local level. The historical data needed to do this is not readily available at the State level.

Man-made (caused) events, such as fires, oil spills, nuclear and chemical waste accidents, and so forth are increasing to such an extent that there should be one central location to research and map all of this data so proper records are available to do an analysis.

The State will attempt to do this but the vehicle for the performance of this function is not yet in one central location. i I!I i E2

"' APPENDIX E FLOODS In new York State, floods have the highest frequency of j ocurrence over the past twenty plus years then any other single hazard recorded.

Hydrologists consider a river to be "in flood" when its waters have risen to an elevation (flood stage) at which damage i can occur in the absence of protective works. In layman's lan-guage, flooding occurs when excess water rises over lands that are used for human habitation or economic enterprises.

The cause of this excess water in New York State are:

1. Abnormally heavy rainfall.

2. Runoff from large accumulations of packed

.: n o w .

3. Concurrent arrival of flood crests from tributaries into the lower reaches of rivers.

4. Ice jams form and block the river flow.

) 5. Flash floods caused by excessive rainfall in e short period of time.

6. Failure of man's own protective works.
