8 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Prevailing Winds Taken from Oklahoma Mesonet site in records southerly wind 15% of the time, with northerly winds nearly 10% of the time. Max Gust: 62.9 mph Max Sustained: 42.6 mph Overall average: 6.9 mph

9 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Methodology Used The methodology for creating the following maps was to: 1. Identify the chemicals stored in each facility. 2. Use the 2004 Emergency Response Guidebook (Orange Book) as a reference for Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for the Chemicals. 3. In a GIS environment, calculate buffers around each Tier II Site. 4. The maximum distance of each plume used is the protective action distance detailed in the 2004 ERG. 5. Research will be undertaken to identify vulnerable facilities / populations around Tier II facilities.

10 Critical Facilities

11 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Representative Tier II Site American Foundry Group ous Material: Propane

12 The National Response Center reports no hazardous materials incidents in the area in the last 10 years.

13 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Who are the vulnerable populations in the area? Group discussion 5 minutes

14 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Vulnerable Populations: All Residents who live or work onsite or within the area of Tier II facilities or other facilities that store hazardous materials. People with mobility or severe health issues that would limit their ability to evacuate quickly. People who speak a language other than English, limiting their ability to receive warning messages.

15 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Measures 2004 Plan Where do we stand on them? Develop and reinforce ous Materials event equipment and response teams. Identify most common household pollutants and make hazard and disposal information available to local populace through media, schools, public offices, police, and fire stations.

16 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Measures 2004 Plan Where do we stand on them? Distribute information identifying hazardous materials to at risk citizens, such as the elderly, infirm, poor, and outside workers. Contact agencies that distribute data and information to at-risk population, such as the elderly, infirm, poor, and outside workers.

17 Fixed Site ous Materials Incidents Measures 2004 Plan Where do we stand on them? Examine optimum methods of implementing public information and education objectives concerning tornadoes, high winds, lightning, winter storms, extreme heat, fire, hazardous material events, expansive soils, and wise use of water resources.

18 Goals & Objectives GOAL: To reduce injuries, loss of life, and damage to property, equipment and infrastructure caused by Fixed Site ous Materials releases. 1. Public Information & Education. Improve public awareness of ous Material hazards and measures by which people can protect themselves, their property and their community, including instructions on effective sheltering in place and evacuation. 2. Preventive Measures. Identify and protect populations, structures, and critical infrastructure particularly vulnerable to Fixed Site ous Material releases, with consideration for uncalculated benefits such as averting environmental and business losses.

48 Vulnerability Analysis This tool looks at an organization's or a community's vulnerability to the effects of various hazards. Measures (on a scale of 1 to 5): the probability of occurrence the impact potential mitigation activities resources available The total is based on a formula that weighs risk heavily but provides credit for mitigation & resources.

49 Vulnerability Analysis Type of Occurrence Impact Mit n Resources History Prob Hum Prop Infra Bus Activities Int. Ext. Total Dam/Levee Drought Earthquake Expansive Soils Flooding Hail HazMat, Fixed Heat High Wind Lightning Tornadoes Transportation Urban Fires Wildfires Winter Storm

50 Vulnerability Analysis Historical Occurrence: Based on number of occurrence in last 20 years. Maximum is 5; if a new hazard use 0. Probability: Score 0 if event is not possible, 1 if less than 1%, 2 if less than 5%, 3 if less than 10%, 4 if less than 20%, and 5 if greater than 20%. Probability is the likelihood an event will occur. History and probability are similar, but hazards that are newly developing, hazards where the likelihood has increased or decreased based upon new developments or activities, or hazards that have a lack of historical information may need to be considered individually. Impact: Based on worst-case scenario - greatest possible impact should worst-case event occur. Maximum threat is the worst-case scenario of a hazard. Its impact is expressed in terms of human casualties, property loss, infrastructure interruption and business interruption/loss revenue issues. Secondary events and psychological human impact need to be factored in where necessary Internal/External Resources: Based on resources available to community internally, or to Mutual Aid agreements or other understandings with neighboring jurisdictions. May also include private resources available, such as corporate firefighting/hazmat teams or medical resources. Analysis Results: Low Risk: Less than 2.5 High Risk: 4.0 to 6.0 Medium Risk: 2.5 to 4.0 Extreme Risk: Greater than 6.0
