EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN

I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Purpose

This Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Establishes the course of action and organization of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Government, and if cooperating local, state and federal agencies and private organizations. These actions are taken to prevent disasters if possible, to reduce the vulnerability of Reservation residents to any disaster that cannot be prevented; to establish capabilities for protecting citizens from the effects of disasters; to respond effectively to the actual occurrence of disasters; and to provide for recovery in the aftermath of any natural and technological emergency involving extensive damage or other debilitating influence on the normal pattern of life within the CRST Reservation.

Scope

1. The EOP includes Tribal as well as cooperating non-Tribal agencies and organizations with responsibilities or capabilities of planning for and responding to an emergency involving extensive damage or other debilitating influence on the normal pattern of life within the C.R.S.T Reservation.

2. The EOP designates responsibilities and the method of implementation for tribal agencies to fulfill their response roles.

3. The EOP establishes a notification system that alerts responsible officials of an incident or imminent threat, and establish communications between on the scene and responsible officials, experts or specialist at other locations.

4. The EOP commits Tribal and BIA resources to emergency operations within their jurisdiction and or within the scope of any agreements made a part of this Plan and Directory.

5. The EOP establishes a training program to familiarize all tribal employees with the Emergency Response Directory and basic emergency response fundamentals.

6. The EOP was prepared to conform with requirements and guidelines established by the U.S.E.P.S Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, (SARA Title 111).

II. SITUATIONS & ASSUMPTIONS:

Situations

1. The Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation is located in north-central South Dakota with the Cheyenne and Missouri River forming its Southern and Eastern boundaries respectively.

2. The Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation is exposed to many hazards, all of which have the

Potential to disrupt the community, cause damage and create casualties.

Possible natural hazards include:

a. Floods

b. Tornadoes

c. Prairie and brush fires

d. Severe winter storms

e. Earthquakes

In addition, man-made hazards could also arise and include:

f. Hazardous materials transportation accident

g. Major transportation accident

h. Terrorism

i. Civil disorder

j. War-related incidents such as nuclear or conventional attack

3. There are local facilities that can potentially impact Reservation life due to the use of hazardous and flammable substances. These include above-ground propane, anhydrous ammonia, and gasoline. Storage tanks, as well as large grain elevators with a potential for explosion. See: Hazardous Facility Location Map.

4. There re (4) significant Reservation transportation routes, Hwy S. 212 and 20 (east/west directions), and Hwy S. 63 and 65 (north/south directions). That can impact Reservation life due to the transportation of extremely hazardous substances to the above-mentioned storage tank sites, as well as being routes of passage for other municipalities and suppliers of these substances. In addition,

Hwy. 73 passes through the Southwest corner of the Reservation. See: Transportation Routes Map.

Assumptions

1. While it is likely that outside assistance would be available in most large-scale disaster situations affecting the Cheyenne Sioux Reservation, it is necessary

2. In the event of an emergency situation/ disaster, the EOP will be coordinated with other local and state plans should this need arise.

III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

1. The CRST Administration and Council may assign specific incident management responsibility for emergencies to the program ad or person; they judge to be the best suited to respond. The initial Incident Commander shall be the Shift Supervisor for the RST Tribal Police Dept.

2. The Tribal Emergency Response Commission (TERC) shall include the six members of the CRST Water, Energy, and Environment (WEE) Committee, (EAC).

3. The Emergency Advisory Committee (EAC) shall review and make changes annually and update the EOP if needed. The primary duty of the advisory committee will be to advise the Emergency Response Coordinator/ Incident Commander and provide resource support with equipment, materials and personnel. The Emergency Advisory Committee shall consist of:

a. Tribal council representative

b. Tribal Police representative

c. HIS representative

d. BIA Land operations representative

e. Fire Dept. official

f. C-EB School official

g. Pesticide Officer/EPD representative w/First Responder training

h. Teton Ambulance Service representative

i. Cultural Center representative

j. Social Services representative

k. Housing Authority representative

l. Game, Fish, & Parks representative

m. Environmental Health representative

Additionally, each department will have an alternate assigned if possible.

The duties of the Coordinator are to; manage the EOC during emergency periods, insuring maintenance of all necessary records and is responsible for organizing, administration and operation of the tribal Emergency Response Plan Program. The Emergency Response Coordinator is the person specifically in charge of Emergency Incident Response and reports directly to the Tribal Chairman and TERC.

5. The CRST Tribal Police Briefing Room shall be the designated Emergency Operation Center (EOC). Upon activation, designated representatives will report to the EOC, or and scope of the emergency situation.

6. The CRST Tribal Police are responsible for initial First Response Emergency Communication.

IV. PHASES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

1. Mitigation. Mitigation activities are those that either prevent the occurrence of an Emergency or reduce the community’s vulnerability in ways that minimized the adverse impact of a disaster or other emergency.

2. Preparedness. Preparedness activities, programs, and systems are those that exist prior to an emergency and are used to support and enhance response to an emergency or disaster. Planning, training, and exercising are among the activities conducted under this phase.

3. Response. Response involves activities and programs designed to address the immediate and short-term effects of the onset of an emergency or disaster. It helps to reduce casualties and damage and to speed recover. Response activities include direction and control, warning, evacuation, and other similar operations.

4. Recovery. Recovery is the phase that involves restoring systems to normal. Short-term recovery actions are taken to assess damage and return support systems to minimum operating standers; long-term recovery action may continue for many years.

V. Emergency communications

1. The CRST Tribal Police perform initial First Response Emergency Communications.

2. Communications may be maintained among principal response organizations during an emergency to include:
