Executive Summary

Executive Policy

The Division of Emergency Management (DEM) is the State of Nevada’s premier agency

for emergency management and must at all times be able to prepare for, protect, respond

to, recover from and mitigate against emergencies and disasters. DEM and its staff are

not immune to the effects of disasters and may have to relocate or perform its mission

with greatly reduced staff which may be caught up by the disaster. This plan results from

the recognition on the part of DEM that a comprehensive plan is needed to enhance the

Division’s ability to maintain operations regardless of the emergency or disaster situation.

This plan constitutes an integral part of a statewide emergency management and

continuity of government program and contributes to its effectiveness.

DEM employees are required to familiarize themselves with this plan and be prepared to

follow the COOP plan if it is activated during a real event or exercise.

Continuity of Operations Plan 2017

I. INTRODUCTION

The Division of Emergency Management (DEM) is the State of Nevada’s premier agency

for emergency management and must at all times be able to prepare for, protect, respond

to, recover from and mitigate against emergencies and disasters. The DEM is becoming

increasingly aware of how all types of events can disrupt operations and jeopardize the

safety of agency personnel and partners. Continuity of Operations (COOP) planning

facilitates the performance of essential functions during all-hazards emergencies or other

situations that may disrupt normal operations. A comprehensive and integrated continuity

capability will enhance the credibility of state’s security posture and enable a more rapid

and effective response to, and recovery from, any emergency.

The all-hazards approach to COOP planning ensures that regardless of the event,

essential functions and services will continue to operate and be provided in some

capacity. This approach includes preparing for natural, man-made or technological

emergencies.

This document provides guidance for plans and procedures that ensure the safety of the

DEM personnel and to ensure it can execute its essential missions in the event of a threat

to its normal continuity of operations. COOP planning is intended to ensure the

performance of the DEM essential functions across a wide range of all-hazard

emergencies.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this COOP plan is to provide the framework for the DEM to restore and

maintain essential functions in the event of an emergency that affects operations. This

document establishes the DEM’s COOP program procedures for addressing four types of

extended disruptions:

Loss of access to a facility (as in fire);

Loss of services due to a reduced workforce (as in pandemic influenza); and

Loss of services due to potential of facility contamination (as in chemical,

biological, or nuclear attack).

Loss of services due to equipment or systems failure (as in information

technology (IT) systems failure).

The goal of continuity planning is to reduce the consequence of any disruptive event to a

manageable level. The DEM COOP plan is designed to:

a) Minimize loss of life, injury, and property damage.

b) Mitigate the duration, severity, or pervasiveness of disruptions that do occur.

c) Achieve the timely and orderly resumption of essential functions and the return to

normal operations.

d) Protect essential facilities, equipment, records, and assets.



e) Be executable with or without warning.

f) Meet the operational requirements of the DEM no later than 12-hours after

activation.

g) Meet the sustainment needs of the DEM for up to 30-days or longer.

h) Ensure the continuous performance of essential functions and operations during

an emergency, including those such as pandemic influenza that require additional

considerations beyond traditional continuity planning.

The DEM is committed to the safety and protection of its personnel, contractors,

operations, and facilities. This plan provides the DEM with a framework that is designed

to minimize potential impact during an event.

III. APPLICABILITY & SCOPE

This document applies to DEM personnel in both the Carson City or Las Vegas locations

where essential functions are conducted. It also applies to the array of events and hazards

that could threaten the agency and its performance of essential functions.

The COOP plan does not apply to temporary disruptions of service including minor IT

system or power outages and any other scenarios where essential functions can be readily

restored in the primary facility.

This COOP plan is approved by the senior leadership in the DEM and distributed to all of

the DEM staff.

The COOP plan will be a part of the DEM’s new employee orientation and subject to

scheduled training and testing.

This COOP plan outlines the actions that will be taken to activate a viable COOP

capability within 12 hours of an emergency event and to sustain that capability for up to

30 days. The COOP Plan can be activated during duty and non-duty hours, both with and

without warning.

The COOP plan covers all facilities, systems, vehicles and buildings operated or

maintained by the DEM. The COOP plan supports the performance of essential functions

from alternate locations (due to the primary facility becoming unusable, for a period that

exceeds established Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs)) and also provides for continuity

of management and decision making at the agency, in the event that senior leadership or

technical personnel are missing or incapacitated.

Federal Continuity Directive 1 (FCD 1).

National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) 51/Homeland Security

Presidential Directive (HSPD) 20, May 2007.

NRS 239C.260, Plan for continuation of state and local governmental

operations in event of catastrophic emergency.



NRS 414.040, Division of Emergency Management: Creation; Chief; powers

and duties.

V. SITUATION

The following situations impact DEM’s COOP plan:

On a yearly basis the DEM evaluates threats and hazards through the Threat and

Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process.

The DEM is located at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in

Carson City Nevada.

The DEM has a Southern Nevada office at the Nevada Parole and Probation

(P&P) Building in Las Vegas

The DEM’s primary facility houses multiple programs including administration

and finance, operations, recovery and mitigation, grants management, and the

planning, training and exercise program. There are approximately 38 personnel

in the SEOC location and 2 personnel in the Las Vegas location, and typically

ten to twenty DEM visitors on a daily basis. When the SEOC is activated or

during training, there may be over 100 additional personnel in the SEOC or

training rooms.

The SEOC also houses the Nevada National Guard (NVNG) Joint Operations

Center (JOC), the Nevada Forestry Division (NDF), the Nevada Department of

Public Safety (DPS) Call Center and the Nevada Threat Analysis Center

(NTAC).

The SEOC is located in the 3rd

most seismically active state in the union, and

Carson City has numerous active seismic fault lines in the area. Almost every

day Nevada is subjected to earthquakes. In the past 50 years (including in 2008)

Nevada has been subjected to several earthquakes greater than 6.0.

Wildfire in Nevada is a major hazard due to yearly dry and windy conditions. In

the past 10 years wildfire has caused the evacuation of government buildings in

Carson City.

Flooding has been a problem in Carson City and flash flooding is a problem in

Las Vegas. The SEOC is not in a flood plain but roads connecting the SEOC

may be blocked due to flooding.

Severe winter weather occurs occasionally with snowfall exceeding three feet in

a 24 hour period. Snowfall may affect the roads so that personnel may not be

available for work.

Carson City is the state capitol for Nevada and Las Vegas is a major

metropolitan site. Both may be the target of terrorism which may include

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or Explosive (CBRNE) attack.

Las Vegas may be subject to civil unrest which may prevent personnel from

reaching the P&P building.



The SEOC is located adjacent to a major highway that may carry hazardous

materials and may be at risk of hazardous material spill.

VI. ASSUMPTIONS

Emergencies may occur with little or no warning and may affect the physical

integrity of the SEOC and the P&P Building.

Emergencies and threatened emergencies differ in order of priority or impact

and may have an effect on the need to activate the COOP Plan.

During emergencies affecting the Las Vegas or Carson City areas, although the,

SEOC and the P&P Building may not be physically affected, staff may have

difficulty mustering at their primary work locations due to impassible roads.

DEM will utilize the principles of the National Incident Management System

(NIMS), when coordinating a State-level response to an incident, regardless of

the EOC location.

If properly implemented, this COOP plan will reduce or prevent disaster-related

losses.

Leadership and personnel will continue to recognize responsibilities to public

safety and exercise their authority to coordinate state resources to respond to and

recover from an emergency.

When state resources and capabilities are exhausted, additional resources are

available through the Nevada Intrastate Mutual Aid System (NIMAS) and the

Federal government Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).

Emergencies or threatened emergencies may adversely affect the organization’s

ability to continue to support non-essential internal operations and to give non-

essential support to external agencies.

Personnel and other resources from the DEM and other organizations outside of

the area affected by the emergency or threat will be made available if required to

continue essential operations.

VII. CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT

The elements of Continuity of Government (COG) is set forth in the provisions of

Section 37 of Article 4 of the Nevada Constitution and is further established as a plan

under the provisions of NRS 239C.260 Plan for continuation of state and local

governmental operations in event of catastrophic emergency.

The provisions of NRS 239C.260 describes as the result of a catastrophic emergency:

The succession of authority of the Governor.

Vacancies of more than 15 % of the Legislature.

Vacancies of more than 15% of the Supreme Court.



Vacancies of more than 15% of District Judges in any one district.

Vacancies on a Board of County Commissioners.

Vacancies on a city council.

Alternate meeting locations of any legislative bodies.

During a catastrophic emergency as described in NRS239C, the DEM in accordance with

NRS 414, will assist the Governor or his successor in maintaining the continuity of

government.

The SEOC has been designated as an alternate site for the Office of the Governor and

houses of the legislature.

Contained within the DEM COOP plan are detailed procedures for the succession of

DEM leadership and authorities and are intended to be the COG plan for the DEM.

VIII. ORGANIZATION & ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

Key Positions

Each essential function has associated positions that are necessary to ensure continuity of

operations. Without these positions, and specifically trained personnel to staff those

positions, the DEM will not be able to perform its essential functions or meet the needs of

Nevada citizens. These positions, with 3 deep staffing, are necessary to carry out

essential functions and in support of the DEM’s mission:

All personnel identified for succession will have full authority to perform all of the duties

of the primary staff member if he/she is required to succeed the position, including all the

authorities of the DEM Chief.

In the event of the unavailability of the primary staff in each Essential Position the

incumbents of the following positions in the sequence indicated in Table 1 will, if

available, exercise the functions and duties delegated, as set forth above

DEM uses the Incident Command System (ICS). ICS allows flexibility in its

implementation so that its structure can be tailored to the specific situation at hand. ICS

will be initiated by the SEOC Manager in response to an incident.

Essential Positions include:

DEM Chief

DEM Duty Officer

employee with greater experience or an employee identified as a primary staff for the

essential position reports to the SEOC. At a minimum the Essential Positions will be

staffed. The SEOC manager has the final say on position staffing when the SEOC is

activated.

Notification System

The contact information for employees who should be notified if the DEM is threatened

by or experiences an incident that requires COOP plan activation is entered into the DEM

Personnel Notification System which is a computer activated call alerting and notification

system that can be accessed by DEM computers or through the internet. The decision to

activate the COOP Plan resides with the DEM chief or the SEOC manager if the SEOC is

activated. (COOP activation will be discussed in the next section: Concept of

Operations).The Contact List located in Appendix A is a back up to the computer system.

External Contacts

Emergency Support Function (ESF) primary and secondary contacts are listed in

Appendix A. Also included in Appendix A is contact information for external

X. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

A COOP plan must be maintained at a high level of preparedness and be ready to be

implemented without prior warning. As such, the DEM COOP Team has developed a

concept of operations, which describes the approach to implementing the COOP plan.

The plan can be fully implemented within 12 hours of activation and be capable of

sustaining operations for up to 30 days. The broad objective of this COOP plan is to

provide for the safety and well-being of DEM personnel, contractors and visitors while

enabling the DEM’s primary mission of coordinating state emergency management

during any crisis or event. Specific COOP plan objectives include the following:

Enable the SEOC to perform its essential functions to coordinate and manage

state emergency response to any incident or event.

Identify essential personnel, back-up and supporting staff for relocation or for

performing essential functions.

Ensure the alternate facility location can support essential functions.

Protect and maintain vital records, systems and equipment.



An event, such as an explosion, fire or hazardous materials incident, might require the

evacuation of the building with little or no advance notice. Building evacuation, if

required, is accomplished via implementation of the Evacuation or Emergency Response

Plan for each building. This COOP plan is neither an evacuation plan nor an Emergency

Action Plan.

Concept of Operations COOP Activation / Alternate Worksite Set Up &

Operations

Phase 2 Response

Phase 1 Increased Threat

•Notify Staff of threat

•Alert Alt worksite of possible deployment

XII. DEVOLUTION OF OPERATIONS

Devolution of Operations focuses on catastrophic and/or widespread incidents and events

that may occur with or without warning and render the DEM SEOC and personnel

incapable of or unavailable to perform DEM’s essential functions.

Devolution Transfer of Authority Primary Site

The primary DEM devolution of operations Agency is the Division of the State Fire

Marshal and the primary devolution site is located in Las Vegas at the PBS Education

and Technology Campus at 3050 E Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89121.

Scenarios for Devolution

The following examples illustrate possible scenarios that could mandate the devolution of

the DEM essential functions:

The DEM SEOC and staff is unavailable or incapable of executing the DEM

mission as a result of a disaster, attack, or catastrophe (whether or not originating

in the SEOC)



The DEM is incapable of conducting normal business activities as a result of an

incapacitation of critical information and communications systems, extreme

natural disaster, Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) event, hazardous material

incident or biological event rendering the all alternate operating facilities

unavailable. Under this scenario, there could be uncertainty regarding whether

additional events such as secondary explosions, aftershocks, or cascading

information systems failures could occur, and many – if not all – organizations

would have to activate their Devolution of Operations programs.

Triggers for Devolution of Operations

The DEM Devolution of Operations may activate due to either an active or a passive

measure or trigger, depending on the catastrophe.

Active measures or “triggers” are those that initiate Devolution of Operations Plan

activation because of a deliberate decision by senior DEM authorities. In this situation,

the DEM Chief or designated successors activates the COOP Devolution of Operations

based on an identified threat to SEOC. The DEM Chief at the SEOC or the Director of

the Department of Public Safety (DPS) in Carson City activates the Division of the State

Fire Marshal to assume the DEM’s mission and essential functions after receiving

instructions from the DEM Chief or a designated successor and to establish a SEOC at

the PBS Education and Technology Campus in Las Vegas.

Passive measures or “triggers” for activating the Devolution of Operations Plan occur

when DEM leadership is not available to initiate activation. For example, when the

Southern Nevada DEM Office Supervisor cannot establish contact with the DEM senior

leaders or the DPS Dispatch Center, using all possible communications devices, or media

coverage portrays catastrophic events in and around the Carson City area, the Southern

Nevada DEM Office Supervisor activates the DEM’s COOP Devolution of Operations

and assumes the DEM’s essential functions.

Devolution of Operations Implementation

The DEM will implement the Devolution of Operations Program (DEVOP) in four

phases, as illustrated in Figure 4-1:

Phase I: Readiness and Preparedness, includes all continuity readiness and

preparedness actions including plan development, review, and revision, training

and exercise, risk management, etc;

Phase II: Activation and Transfer of Authority, which occurs immediately upon

confirmation that DEM’s primary operating facility is unavailable or incapable of

performing its essential functions, after either the DEM Chief, Director of Nevada

Department of Public Safety or the COOP Coordinator activate the DEVOP;

Phase III: Devolution Operations, which continue until the emergency operations

can be terminated; and

Phase IV: Reconstitution, which is conducted after the emergency or disruption

ceases and is unlikely to resume.



Figure 3: Devolution of Operations Implementation Phases

Devolution Operations

The Division of the State Fire Marshal will continue to operate as the SEOC until the

DEM’s primary SEOC in Carson City reconstitutes and reassumes its mission authority.

The DEM Southern Nevada Office will be recalled to Carson City and act as emergency

management consultants until DEM is reconstituted.

XII. INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS

The DEM considers Communications Interoperability to include the following:

1. Capability to implement DEM’s essential functions

2. Ability to communicate with essential personnel, supporting agencies and

local jurisdictions

3. Ability to communicate with other state and federal agencies, organizations

and vital supply and system vendors;

4. Access to data and systems;

5. Communications systems for use in situations with and without warnings;

6. Ability to support COOP operational requirements;

DEVOP is terminated.

XVI. RECONSTITUTION

Reconstitution procedures will commence when the DEM Chief or designated successor

ascertains that the emergency situation has ended and is unlikely to recur. Once the

appropriate DEM representative has made this determination in coordination with other

appropriate authorities, one or a combination of the following options may be

implemented, depending on the situation:

Continue to operate from the alternate operations sites;

Begin an orderly return to the DEM primary operating facility and reconstitute

DEM normal operations; and

Begin to establish a reconstituted SEOC in some other facility in the Carson City

area or at another designated location.

Once the DEM Chief or designated successor decides that the DEM staff can reoccupy

the SEOC or that a different facility will be established as a new operating facility, DEM

staff will reestablish normal operations.

XVII. TRAINING, TESTING AND EXERCISE

To maintain the DEM’s COOP capability, an all-hazard COOP training, testing, and

exercise program will be established. Major components of this program will include

training all staff in their COOP responsibilities; conducting periodic Homeland Security

Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) approved drills and exercises to test and



improve COOP plans and procedures, systems, and equipment; and instituting a multi-

year process to ensure continual plan updates in response to changing conditions.

Training

Introduction to COOP planning (new personnel and contractors);

COOP plan Activation and Relocation (key personnel);

Cross training for essential functions (supportive personnel);

National Incident Management System (all staff); and

Incident Command System (all staff).

Testing and Exercises

DEM will periodically test the effectiveness of this plan using HSEEP styled drills and

exercises. DEM personnel will be required to participate in COOP exercises

Exercise Evaluation

All real events, drills and exercises will conclude with a “hot-wash” that will elicit

comments from the participants about the effectiveness of the COOP Plan. The DEM

planners will use the hot-wash comments and exercise evaluators’ comments to develop

an After Action Report (AAR) and a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to modify the COOP

plan, develop systems, or provide justification for equipment purchases to improve the

DEM’s capacity to provide mission essential functions.

XVIII. MULTI-YEAR STRATEGY AND PROGRAM MAINTENANCE PLAN

DEM leadership and the COOP Team are responsible for the implementation of the

COOP program. While the COOP plan serves as the guide during activation and

recovery, the COOP program provides the framework and structure to guide continuity of

operations planning.

Roles and responsibilities of the COOP Team include:

Maintaining documents that grant authority for the creation, modification,

ongoing maintenance, and execution of the COOP plan;

Identifying issues that will impact the frequency of changes required to the

COOP plan;

Establishing a review cycle;

Establishing a testing and exercise cycle; and

Guiding and prioritizing mitigation activities that the (departments, units or

other) need to undertake.

XIX. COOP PLAN MAINTENANCE



DEM’s Planning Program has the responsibility in ensuring that the COOP plan is

updated and maintained in accordance with established schedules.

Whenever the plan is updated, it should be reissued with the update recorded on the

COOP Plan Record of Changes.

Definitions

Activation – When all or a portion of the COOP plan has been put into motion.

Alternate Location – A location, other than the normal facility, used to process data

and/or conduct essential functions in the event of a disaster. Similar Terms: Alternate

Processing Facility, Alternate Office Facility, and Alternate Communication Facility.

Business Impact Analysis – The process of determining the potential consequences of a

disruption or degradation of business functions.




Cold Site – An alternate site that is reserved for emergency use, but which requires the

installation of equipment before it can support operations. Equipment and resources must

be installed in such a facility to duplicate the essential business functions of an

organization. Cold sites have many variations depending on their communication

facilities, UPS systems, or mobility.

Continuity of Government (COG) - Preservation of the institution of government.

Maintaining leadership, through succession of leadership, delegation of authority and

active command and control.

Continuity of Operations (COOP) – The effort to assure that the capability exists to

continue essential functions across a wide range of potential emergencies.

Continuity of Operations (COOP) Coordinator – Serves as the agency’s manager for

all COOP activities. The Coordinator has overall responsibility for developing,

coordinating and managing all activities required for the agency to perform its essential

functions during an emergency or other situation that would disrupt normal operations.

The first step in the COOP planning process is selecting a COOP Coordinator.

Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan – A set of documented procedures developed

to provide for the continuance of essential business functions during an emergency.

Delegations of Authority – Pre-delegated authorities for making policy determinations

and decisions at headquarters, field levels and other organizational locations, as

appropriate.

Devolution – The capability to transfer statutory authority and responsibility for essential

functions from an agency’s primary staff and facilities to alternate staff and facilities and

to sustain that operational capability for an extended period.

Emergency Preparedness – The discipline which ensures an organization or

community's readiness to respond to an emergency in a coordinated, timely and effective

manner.

Essential Functions – Activities, processes or functions which could not be interrupted

or unavailable for several days without significantly jeopardizing the operation of an

organization.

Emergency Management Assistance Compact – Congressionally ratified organization

that provides form and structure to interstate mutual aid. During a disaster, it allows a

state to request and receive assistance from other member states.

Facility – A location containing the equipment, supplies, and voice and data

communication lines to conduct transactions required to conduct business under normal

conditions.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) – A threat and

performance-based exercise program developed by DHS that provides doctrine and

policy for planning, conducting, and evaluating exercises. It was developed to enhance

and assess terrorism prevention, response, and recovery capabilities at the federal, state

and local levels.

Hot Site – An alternate facility that has the equipment and resources to recover the

business functions affected by the occurrence of a disaster. Hot-sites may vary in type of




facilities offered (such as data processing, communication, or any other essential business

functions needing duplication). Location and size of the hot-site will be proportional to

the equipment and resources needed. A hot site is a fully equipped facility, which

includes stand-by computer equipment, environmental systems, communications

capabilities and other equipment necessary to fully support an organization’s immediate

work and data processing requirements in the event of an emergency or a disaster.

Implementation Procedure Checklist – A list of the immediate actions to take once the

COOP plan is implemented.

Incident Command System (ICS) – A management system used to organize emergency

response. ICS offers a scalable response to an incident of any magnitude, and provides a

common framework within which people can work together. These resources may be

drawn from multiple agencies that do not routinely work together. The system is

designed to grow and shrink along with the incident, allowing more resources to be added

into the system when needed and released when no longer needed. The key aspect of ICS

helps to reduce or eliminate the "who's in charge" problem.

Key Personnel – Personnel designated by their division as critical to the resumption of

essential functions and services.

National Incident Management System (NIMS) – A consistent nationwide template to

enable federal, state, local, tribal governments, private-sector and nongovernmental

organizations to work together effectively and efficiently to prepare for, prevent, respond

to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity,

including acts of catastrophic terrorism.

Orders of Succession – A list that specifies by position who will automatically fill a

position once it is vacated.

Reconstitution – The process by which agency personnel resume normal business

operations from the original or replacement primary operating facility.

Record Retention – Storage of historical documentation for a set period of time usually

mandated by state or federal law or by the Internal Revenue Service.

Recovery – Recovery, in this document, includes all types of emergency actions

dedicated to the continued protection of the public or to promoting the resumption of

normal activities in the affected area.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) – The period of time in which systems, applications or

functions must be recovered after an outage.

Response – Those activities and programs designed to address the immediate and short-

term effects of the onset of an emergency or disaster.

Risk – An ongoing or impending concern that has a significant probability of adversely

affecting business continuity.

Risk Assessment/Analysis – An evaluation of the probability that certain disruptions

will occur and the controls to reduce organizational exposure to such risk.

Risk Management – The discipline which ensures that an organization does not assume

an unacceptable level of risk.




Test Plan – The recovery plans and procedures that are used in a systems test to ensure

viability. A test plan is designed to exercise specific action tasks and procedures that

would be encountered in a real disaster.

Vital Records, Systems and Equipment – Records, files, documents or databases,

which, if damaged or destroyed, would cause considerable inconvenience and/or require

replacement or re-creation at considerable expense. For legal, regulatory or operational

reasons these records cannot be irretrievably lost or damaged without materially

impairing the organization's ability to conduct business.

Vulnerability – The susceptibility of a division to a hazard. The degree of vulnerability

to a hazard depends upon its risk and consequences.

Warm Site – An alternate processing site which is only partially equipped.

Operations



I. Purpose

The purpose of Annex C: Alternate State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) Site Set

Up and Operations is to describes the roles and responsibilities of Division of Emergency

Management (DEM) and Emergency Support Function Personnel during a Continuity of

Operations (COOP) plan activation to prepare for, initiate, deploy, and begin alternate

site operations in the event that the primary facility is or will soon be rendered unsuitable

to perform the DEM mission.

II. Mission and Objectives

Mission

The Mission of the DEM Alternate Site and Operations is to provide a structure and a

system to be able to coordinate critical resources in response to a disaster or emergency

even if the primary State Emergency Operations Center is rendered unsuitable for

operations and the majority of DEM staff is unavailable for any reason.

Objectives

Manage State emergency resource coordination throughout the transition to the

alternate SEOC site or transfer authority to the Devolution entity until the SEOC

can be reconstituted.

Set up Alternate SEOC site, transition and begin full SEOC operations within 12

hours of activation.

Perform state emergency management essential functions for up to 30 days at the


III. Concept of Operations

The DEM will utilize the COOP recovery team to set up and prepare the alternate SEOC

for full SEOC operations and to prepare DEM and ESF staff to transition to the alternate

SEOC site through a phased operation concept.


Operations



Phased Operations

Phasing is used in this plan as a methodology to describe the dynamic nature of how the

DEM prepares to transition the SEOC to the alternate SEOC, deployment of staff and set

I. INTRODUCTION

One of the essential processes to protect DEM staff during a disaster is Evacuation. This

procedure will be used in the case an evacuation is deemed necessary.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Evacuation Plan Annex is to build on existing DEM Continuity of

Operations (COOP) plans to ensure that the DEM is prepared evacuate if there is an

occurrence which threatens the SEOC.

II. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

1. The SEOC is divided into areas of operation:

a. DEM Cubieville, Restrooms, and Break Room

b. DEM Administration

c. DEM Operations Room and Situation Room

d. DEM Planning, Training and Exercise (PT&E) Section and Training

Room

e. DEM Joint Information Center

f. NDF and Restrooms

g. NTAC Office and Secure Room

h. NVNG Joint Operations Center

2. Each area of operations has a designated Area Supervisor for evacuation.

3. SEOC staff will be notified by telecom announcement, overhead system

announcement and for PT&E direct phone calls.

4. When the announcement is given, staff are responsible to take only minimal

belongings and their COOP go bags, and leave the building immediately via the

nearest exit.

5. Once evacuation of the building has occurred, area supervisors, if possible, shall

quickly check the area for anyone who might be left behind.

6. Training or meeting facilitators will use class of meeting rosters to ensure all the

participants have evacuated.

7. Close the door of each section checked.

I. INTRODUCTION

One of the hazards that have been identified as a threat for the SEOC is fire which may

occur internally within the building or externally as in the case of a wildfire.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Fire Plan Annex is to build on existing DEM Continuity of

Operations (COOP) plans to ensure that the DEM is prepared to respond to and mitigate

the effects of an internal or external fire which threatens the SEOC.


Internal Fire:

Internal to the SEOC fire essential tasks include:

1. If someone in the SEOC observes smoke or a fire in the SEOC building the first

action should always be to pull the fire alarm.

2. If the fire is very small and extinguishable, use a fire extinguisher to try to put out the

flames. If not, try to close the area off if possible and evacuate the building through

the nearest exit.

3. Once evacuation of the building has occurred, Area supervisors, if possible, shall




5. Close the door of each section checked.

6. Staff shall muster at the designated rally point.

7. Area supervisors shall use personnel rosters to ensure area staff is accounted for.

8. Evacuate National Guard compound if needed.

9. If the SEOC building is rendered unable to occupy for more than 24 hours, execute

the COOP plan.

External to the SEOC fire essential tasks:

1. When the fire department notifies DEM or the National Guard Compound that a

wildfire threatens the building, the SEOC staff will execute the Evacuation Plan

2. Area supervisors shall ensure all area staff have evacuated the building and are at the

muster point using the personnel rosters



4. Area supervisors will communicate to the staff where the rally point is.

5. If there is sufficient time, Staff will be able to evacuate cars.

I. INTRODUCTION

One of the hazards that may affect Division of Emergency Management (DEM)

operations may be the accidental or intentional release of hazardous chemicals in the

atmosphere. The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is located on the Nevada

National Guard Headquarters compound and as such may be the target of terrorist attack.

The SEOC is also located near an interstate freeway which hazardous materials are

transported by tanker truck and a wreck and subsequent accidental release of hazardous

chemicals may have the potential to threaten DEM personnel and operations.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Shelter in Place Annex is to build on existing DEM Continuity of

Operations (COOP) plans to ensure that the DEM is prepared to respond to and mitigate

the effects of an accidental or intentional release of hazardous chemical near the SEOC

building.


The accidental or intentional release of hazardous chemicals near the SEOC building is

assumed to be a no notice event and following proper shelter in place procedures can

protect DEM personnel from the exposure and harm from the released chemicals.

Shelter in Place essential tasks include:

Determination to shelter in place,

Notification of all personnel located in the SEOC building,

Mustering staff and visitors into a central location away from windows and doors,

Shutting down HVAC units,

Using plastic and duct tape, cover doors, exterior windows and vents,

Contact loved ones, inform Governor’s office and monitor the situation.

Annex H: Shelter in Place for Active Shooter



I. INTRODUCTION

One of the hazards that may affect Division of Emergency Management (DEM)

operations may be an active shooter(s) who want to shoot, kill and injure as many SEOC

staff as possible . The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is located on the

Nevada National Guard Headquarters compound and as such may be the target of

deranged shooter or terrorist attack.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Shelter in Place for Active Shooter Annex is to build on existing

DEM Continuity of Operations (COOP) plans to ensure that the DEM is prepared to

respond to and mitigate the effects of an active shooter..


Criminal Activity

Call the Carson City Sheriff Department at 911 if you observe a crime in progress or

behavior that you suspect is criminal. Do not approach or attempt to apprehend

person(s) involved. Report information, including:

Direction of travel when last seen

Location

Physical and clothing description

Vehicle description, license plate number

Weapons or tools involved

What the person is doing

If you believe you are safe, stay on the phone with the police dispatcher until instructed

otherwise.

Active Shooter

If an active shooter is outside the SEOC: Lock all exterior doors.

Proceed to a room that can be locked, close and lock all the windows and doors,

and turn off all the lights.

If possible, get everyone down on the floor and ensure that no one is visible from

outside the room.

One person in the room should call 911, advise the dispatcher of what is taking

place, and inform him/her of your location.

Remain in place until the police, or a campus administrator known to you, gives

the "all clear." Unfamiliar voices may be the shooter attempting to lure victims

from their safe space.

Annex H: Shelter in Place for Active Shooter



Do not respond to any voice commands until you can verify with certainty that

they are being issued by a police officer.

If an active shooter is in the same building as you: Determine if the room you are in can be locked and if so, follow the same

procedure described for a shooter outside your building.

If your room can't be locked, determine if there is a nearby location that can be

reached safely and secured, or if you can safely exit the building.

If you decide to move from your current location, be sure to follow the

instructions outlined below.

If an active shooter enters the SEOC: Try to remain calm.

Dial 911, if possible, and alert police to the shooter's location; if you can't speak,

leave the line open so the dispatcher can listen to what's taking place. Normally

the location of a 911 call can be determined without speaking.

You have options. You can make attempts to:

o Hide and Shelter-in-Place

o Escape

o Negotiate with the shooter

o Overpower the shooter (which should be considered a last resort)

If the shooter leaves the area, proceed immediately to a safer place and do not

touch anything that was in the vicinity of the shooter.

Under all circumstances, if you decide to flee during an active shooting situation, make

sure you have an escape route and plan in mind. Do not attempt to carry anything while

fleeing; move quickly, keep your hands visible, and follow the instructions of any police

officers you may encounter. Notify authorities of the location of wounded people as soon

as possible. Do not try to drive off compound until advised it is safe to do so by police or

NVNG Security Staff.

Once the all clear announcement is made:

Once evacuation of the building has occurred, Area supervisors, if possible, shall


Training or meeting facilitators will use class of meeting rosters to ensure all the


Close the door of each section checked.

Staff shall muster at the designated rally point.

Area supervisors shall use personnel rosters to ensure area staff is accounted for.

Evacuate National Guard compound if needed.

If the SEOC building is rendered unable to occupy for more than 24 hours,

execute the COOP plan.

Annex I: Decontamination Plan



I. INTRODUCTION

The SEOC is an evacuation point for the Governor’s office and key government officials.

The SEOC is a critical infrastructure/key resource (CI/KR) building and must be secured

from contaminant in the case a terrorist attack such as chemical, biological or radiological

(CBR)attack. The SEOC due to its designation of CI/KR may be a target of a “white

powder” attack.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Shelter in Place for Active Shooter Annex is to build on existing

DEM Continuity of Operations (COOP) plans to ensure that the DEM is prepared to

respond to and mitigate the effects of a chemical, biological or radiological

contamination.


In the case of a CBR attack not involving the SEOC, the SEOC must protect the space

and its occupants from the effects of the contaminant which may be brought into the

SEOC. The following steps will take place:

1. When the SEOC is informed of a CBR attack in Carson City, it will immediately

go into lock down mode where no one will be allowed to enter without being

decontaminated.

2. Staff may leave the building but cannot return without being decontaminated.

3. All exits will initially be locked.

4. The Duty Officer on call will notify the NVNG or Carson City Fire Department to

employ a decon team to set up in the front parking lot.

5. Anyone that has authorization to enter the building must be decontaminated.

6. All persons going through decontamination will be removed of their outer

clothing and given a Tyvex suit all decontaminated persons will also wear decon

bracelet on their right wrist.

7. Persons coming through decon may bring clothes to wear if the clothes are double

bagged in plastic before they transit the contaminated area.

In the case where white powder is sent through the mail to the SEOC:

1. If anyone opens an envelope mailed to the SEOC by mail or dropped off, the

person must gently place the envelope back on the desk.

2. Inform the immediate area staff of the situation and call for an evacuation of the

building using exits that are not adjacent to the contaminated area.

3. Staff will evacuate the building and muster at the evacuation muster point.

4. Staff who were exposed to the contaminant or staff who have been exposed to the

staff in the contaminated area must be segregated from the rest of the staff.

Annex I: Decontamination Plan



5. DEM Duty Officer will contact the NVNG and the Carson City Fire Department

for decontamination and testing of the substance.

6. If the staff have been cleared and the building cannot be decontaminated for more

than 24 hours, the DEM Chief will execute the COOP plan.

7. If all of the DEM staff have been contaminated, the DEM Chief may elect to

execute the Devolution Plan.
