Oxford County Emergency Management Agency The Key to being prepared starts at the local level with individuals and families having a basic plan to take care of themselves and their neighbors. If you can accomplish this you and your family will be able to weather any emergency. We have had Tornadoes, Winter and Summer Storms, Flooding, and Industrial Fires, to name just a few of the disaster situations we have had to react to over the past five years. The citizens of Oxford County have done a great job during these emergencies. Oxford County is very fortunate to have over 51 Public Safety Organizations available to respond in support of our 57,118 citizens. Oxford is a very unique county in that we border Canada, New Hampshire, Cumberland County, York County, Androscoggin County and Franklin County. Oxford County has 34 towns, 2 plantations and 19 unorganized territories. Oxford County Emergency Management capacity: Incident Management Assistance Team, Hazmat

PREPAREDNESS & PUBLIC SAFETY GUIDE

Oxford County Regional Communications Center(RCC) As western Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Public Safety Answering Point or 9-1-1 Center, we dispatch for 51 emergency agencies, plus State Police, State Forest Service, State Game Wardens, other state and municipal agencies that come in contact with the Oxford County region. The seventh largest geographical county in Maine, Oxford County, which contains approximately 2,023 square miles, has many unique attributes, such as 50,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest, 100 miles of Maine and New Hampshire state border, 26.1 miles of Canadian border,and shares boundaries with 4 Maine counties and 28 miles of the Appalachian Mountain Trail. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resident population is about 55,000, which swells to over 100,000 at different seasons of the year. Oxford County is a major gathering point for people who enjoy our three ski areas, motor speedway, our hundreds of lakes and ponds, four county fairs and endless miles of rural beauty. In 2009, our 9-1-1 Center handled over 22,000 9-1-1 emergency calls, and over 33,000 non-emergency calls for Oxford County. This center currently employs twelve full-time dispatchers, 6

part-time dispatchers, 4 shift supervisors, a Computer Administrator, the Director of Communications and an Administrative Assistant. Each dispatcher receives 150+ hours of intensive training, and must pass certification testing for the State of Maine, as well as, many hours of training on Oxford County. Ongoing continuing education hours must also be completed each year in order to maintain certification. Each shift is staffed by at least three dispatchers allowing help to be sent, and other emergency calls answered while the caller is still on the line. Our Center has been diligently upgrading our systems, towers and capabilities for the entire County. The upgrades will enable this center and all of our supporting organizations the ability to meet new FCC regulations while expanding our ability to support the multi-jurisdictional and multi-agency communications tactics and techniques used daily.

Oxford County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) The Oxford County LEPC is a committee comprised of members from the public safety community, elected officials, private citizens, and industry representatives. LEPCs were put in place as part of Title III of the Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). EPCRA is designed to help local communities protect public health, safety, and the 4

Sun Journal, Lewiston, Maine, August 2010

environment from hazardous materials. The Oxford County LEPC is impacted mostly by the community-right-to-know portions of this law, which requires facilities with reportable quantities of hazardous materials to submit a report annually for emergency planning purposes and first responder awareness, and to also report any chemical releases. All County LEPC activities are overseen by the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC). In addition to holding bi-monthly meetings that are open to the public, the LEPC gathers hazardous materials information that is reported under the community-right-to-know laws from facilities with hazardous materials, assists facilities with completing their annual reporting requirements, maintains an emergency response plan for hazardous materials response, and conducts annual plan reviews and

exercises with facilities that have Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS). The LEPC also organizes and oversees hazardous materials training throughout the County for first responders. For more information about the LEPC, meeting schedule or about community-right-toknow laws, Contact: Oxford County EMA, 207-743-6336 or oxctyema@megalink.net

Flooding and Flash Floods

What is the difference between a Flood and Flash Flooding? v F lash Flooding occurs within 6 hours of a rain event and is usually caused by slow moving thunderstorms, repeated thunderstorms moving over the same area or from hurricanes and tropical storms. v F looding is a longer term event and can last up to a week or more! You can see flooding along rivers, the coast, and in urban areas.

FLASH FLOODS are the Number 1 weather-related killer in the United States! Nearly half of those deaths are auto related! Flooding/Flash Floods:

PLANNING AHEAD

v L isten for thunder. Large amounts of ran could possibly be coming your way in a nearby thunderstorm. Watch for rapidly rising water. v L ook for flooding at low-lying spots on roads and highways, bridges or other low areas when in your car. vO nly two feet of water can carry away most vehicles. TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN. Also remember that you cannot tell if the road is intact or damaged if it is covered in water.Avoid walking, swimming or driving in flood waters.Stay away from high water, storm drains, ditches, or culverts. If it is moving swiftly, 6 inches can knock you off your feet.

vD on’t wait for a flood to happen to find a place to go! Make it a part of your emergency plan. v I dentify a location where you could go to if you need to evacuate, such as a shelter, a relative’s home, or a motel. vM ake sure you identify a location in a flooding emergency that is on higher ground.

Flash Flooding:

What should I expect in Severe Summer Storms?

v I f advised to evacuate, do so IMMEDIATELY! v I f a flash flood WATCH is issued for your area, take necessary precautions, and be ready to evacuate on a moment’s notice. v I f a flash flood WARNING is issued for your area, you may only have SECONDS to get to safety! Act quickly to save yourself!

Thunderstorms, Lightning, and Tornadoes

Tornadoes – Maine averages 2 tornadoes a year, bringing with them high winds that can uproot trees. Lightning – occurs with all thunderstorms and takes an average of 80 lives a year in the US.

PREPAREDNESS & PUBLIC SAFETY GUIDE

Strong winds – Straight line winds can be in excess of 100 mph and can cause damage equal to a small tornado.

Snow – frozen precipitation that can fall heavily in a blizzard, limiting visibility, or can fall slowly and can take longer to accumulate.

Flash Flooding – The NUMBER 1 cause of deaths associated with thunderstorms.

Sleet – Rain drops that freeze into ice pellets before hitting the ground.

Hail – Can cause major property damage if large enough in size.

Freezing Rain – Rain that falls and freezes upon contact with a surface, creating a coating of ice.

Lightning:

Be Safe

vA void outdoor activities. If outside during a storm, move to a sturdy building or car. If sturdy shelter is not available, move to a hard top car and keep the windows up. Avoid touching any metal. v S tay away from tall objects, such as towers, fences, or telephone poles. vD o not use the telephone or electrical appliances during a storm, they can conduct electricity! vD o not take a bath or shower during a thunderstorm. v I f you are outside, take shelter under shorter trees in an area not subject to flooding. Squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet. Place your hands over your ears and your head between your knees. DO NOT lie down!

70% of winter deaths are due to traffic accidents. About 20% of exposure deaths occur in the home. Avoid frostbite and hypothermia by staying indoors when the temperatures and wind chill are low.

HOW FAR AWAY IS THE THUNDERSTORM? vC ount the number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the next clap of thunder. Divide this number by 5 to determine the distance to the lightning in miles. vP ractice the 30/30 rule: When you see lightning, count to 30. If you hear thunder before you reach 30, go inside. Don’t go back outside until 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder.

Winter Weather Preparedness

What you should have before the storm: F lashlight and extra batteries N OAA Weather Radio E xtra medicine and baby items F irst-Aid Supplies E xtra food and water for up to 3 days H eating fuel P et medicine and supplies E mergency heating source (Be sure to use proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning!) v F ire extinguisher and smoke detector v v v v v v v v

REMEMBER TO DRESS PROPERLY: Wear loose fitting, light-weight, warm clothing in several layers. Layers can be removed to prevent perspiration and the accompanying chill. Outer garments should be water-proof, tightly woven, and hooded. Half your body heat can be lost through your head. Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold, and wear mittens that are snug at the wrist. WATCH: Severe Weather is possible within the designated watch area. Be alert!

What should I expect in winter?

WARNING: Severe weather has been reported or is imminent. Take necessary precautions.

STORMS WITH STRONG WINDS EXTREME COLD ICE STORMS HEAVY SNOW STORMS

There are a number of shelters within Oxford County that have made plans to accommodate your pets. Check with you local Emergency Management Director about pet friendly shelters.

COMMUNICATIONS PLAN Your family may not be together when disaster strikes. During a major disaster local phone systems and cell phone systems may be jammed.

Plan how you will contact one Sun Journal, Lewiston, Maine, August 2010

another and what you will do Pick two places to meet: vR ight outside you home in case of a sudden emergency like a fire. vO utside your neighborhood in case you can’t return home; perhaps a relative or a friend’s house. vA sk an out-of-state friend or family member to be your “family contact”. After a disaster it’s often easier to call long distance. vM ake sure everyone has the contact numbers and addresses of the out-of-town contact and the meeting place. vM ake sure family members have each other’s contact numbers at work, school and daycare. v Keep phone numbers up-to-date.

BUILD A DISASTER SUPPLY KIT FOR YOUR HOME What will you need if you can’t get out for three days and don’t have electricity? Here are some suggestions:

v3 -day supply of nonperishable food that does not require cooking and a non-electric can opener v3 -day supply of water (1 gallon per person per day). Indentify the storage date and replace every 6 months vP ortable, battery powered radio and flashlight with plenty of extra batteries vG ames, books, cards, etc. v F irst Aid kit and prescription medications vC ash and credit cards v T elephone that works if the electricity is off vA safe way to heat food and water: camp stove, etc. vA way to keep warm if the power is off: sleeping bags, extra blankets, etc. vA t least one complete change of clothing and footwear per person vA n extra set of car keys v I tems for infants: formula, diapers, etc. vA list of family physicians vA list of important family information and copies of important documents( store in waterproof, portable container): will, insurance policies, stocks, social security cards, immunization record, bank information, family records (birth, marriage, death certificates) v S anitation items: soap, garbage bags, disinfectant, etc.

SHELTER-IN-PLACE: One of the instructions you may be given in an emergency where hazardous materials may have been release into the atmosphere is to shelter-in-place. This is a precaution aimed to keep you safe while remaining indoors. (This is not the same thing as going to a shelter in case of a storm.) Shelter-in-place means selecting a small, interior room, with no or few windows, and taking refuge there. It does not mean sealing off your entire home or office building.

Why You Might Need To Shelter In Place: Chemical, biological, or radiological contaminatnts may be released accidentally or intentionally into the environment. Should this occur, informations will be provided by local authorities on television and radio stations on how to protect you and your family. Because information will most likely be provided on television and radio, it is important to keep a TV or radio on, even during the workday. The important thing is for you to follow instructions of local authorities and know what to do if they advise you to shelter-in-place.

Equipment replacement cost approximately $250,000. v Mill Management has been very supportive of the team by encouraging participation and making funds available for training and equipment. Training includes annual training by an outside Contractor to update team on all new compliance issues Monthly training is discipline specific, taught by our own in house instructors. Training is held 2 times per month. Twelve members of the Team have traveled to Anniston Alabama for advanced WMD training provided by the Department of Homeland Security. v The RRT has responded to over 40 callouts since 1990, both in mill and in the County. Callouts Sun Journal, Lewiston, Maine, August 2010

comprise of Haz-Mat spills and actual Rope Rescues from high smoke stacks. It is very important to mention that the Team has received the Governors Award for Environmental Stewardship for all the outside responses dealing with Hazardous Materials events. The Team was nominated by the manager of Haz-Mat Response Division of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. Some of the State Level responders consider the RRT at New page a role model for Emergency Response. As the Team has responded to more events than most present teams.

Decontamination Strike Team (DST) Decontamination Strike Team Four (DST #4) is a group of approximately 24 operations and technician level hazardous materials responders from the communities of Norway, Oxford and Paris. The purpose of this team is to ensure trained and equipped providers are available to manage the civil population in the event of a Chemical, Nuclear or Biological attack or Hazardous Materials release. The primary role of the team in an incident is to provide decontamination capabilities for the civilian population and as support for technician level Regional Response Teams (RRTs). The DST also provides support for Stephens Memorial Hospital’s decontamination team in the event that the hospital receives contaminated patients and needs additional assistance. The team is conducts training in hazardous materials response, decontamination, air monitoring, chemical research and identification, and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) on a bi-monthly basis. The team also participates in an annual Full Scale Exercise (FSE) as training. For more information contact: Dennis Yates (207) 462-3440

County Communication Emergency Response Team(CERT) The Oxford County CERT Team is currently between 15-20 members. There are several others we could call upon to fill positions during a disaster that would not require the same level of training as the active CERT members. This team has been active since the Ice Storm of 1998. We have a communications trailer

PREPAREDNESS & PUBLIC SAFETY GUIDE

with HF, VHF and UHF Amateur Radio capabilities. We operate in various modes including FM, AM and SSB voice. We also use APRS ( Automatic Position Reporting System ) and various digital modes. We also have a County Radio in our communications trailer as well. This is for the use of the EMA staff if they need to set up a portable office that is closer to the scene of a disaster. We will be training to send photos over wireless and eventually learn to use Slow and Fast Scan Amateur Television. We are involved in ongoing training with EMA and the first responders. We are not first responders but we are able to assist in a long term disasters when normal communications are down or overloaded. We can also provide logistic support to take some communication burden from the first responders and let them focus on their more immediate emergency duties. Much of our training is geared toward providing communications to shelters that would be open to the public during a disaster. We have also received training in search and rescue as well. I would like to invite the general public to come and see our operation in action on June 2627, 2010. We will be set up on the Fryeburg Fairgrounds Midway. Activities will be going on from noon Saturday June 26 till noon on Sunday June 27. It is a 24 hr. communication event so be advised; by Sunday morning the crew is more asleep than awake. We will have a GOTA ( Get On The Air ) station for anybody who would like to give it a try. Don’t worry, we will have a radio coach there to help any daring volunteers.

Oxford County Animal Response Team(OXCART) CA The mission of the Oxford County Animal Response Team (OXCART) is to provide assistance to domesticated animals and farm animals, so as to minimize their suffering and to reduce the number of deaths during natural and manmade disasters, or any other situation that may arise. Our group meets monthly to train and plan for annual exercises and to organize public awareness campaigns. OXCART team members have attended emergency animal sheltering workshops, CART conferences, animal response team training, completed federal independent study courses, and taken advantage of various other opportunities that have arisen in the animal response world. Annual hands-on training, in conjunction with regional exercises, is an integral part of our team’s training.
