Management Plan needs to reviewed and updated. The current plan adopted by the City is that which
has been provided by the Stearns County Emergency Services Department. The Plan includes the
components needed to be eligible for Federal Funding. In reviewing the document minor changes were
needed and a redlined copy has been provided for your convenience. Upon adoption by the Council the
document will be circulated for signatures.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Access to Federal Funds in the event of a disaster.
ATTACHMENTS: Redlined policy
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Accept the revised Emergency Management Plan as presented
authorizing the same to be administered and executed.

The basic purpose of this plan is to provide a guide for emergency operations. The plan is intended to
assist key city officials and emergency organizations to carry out their responsibilities for the protection of
life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
Although an organization may have the foresight to plan for anticipated situations, such planning is of little
worth if the planning is not reduced to written form. Personnel familiar with unwritten plans may be
unavailable at the very time it becomes necessary to implement them. A written plan will furnish a
documentary record, which can be referred to as needed. This documentary record will serve to refresh
the knowledge of key individuals and can be used to inform persons who become replacements.
TRANSFER OF OFFICE
THIS DOCUMENT SHALL REMAIN THE PROPERTY OF: THE CITY OF ST. JOSEPH
Upon termination of office by reason of resignation, election, suspension, or dismissal, the holder of this
document will transfer it to his/her successor or the City of St. Joseph Emergency Management Director.

5. Direction and
The direction and control of government operations from a central, protected facility with adequate
communication and key personnel is essential to the conduct of emergency operations.
In the City of St. Joseph, the Mayor is responsible for providing overall direction and control of city
government resources involved in the response to a disaster. The City Emergency Management Director
will serve in a staff capacity to the Mayor, and will coordinate emergency operations. The City Emergency
Management Director will also serve as a liaison with the Stearns County Emergency Management
Director.
Direction and control of the city's response to a major disaster will take place from the Emergency
Operating Center (EOC), which is located at the St. Joseph Community Fire Station. (For additional EOC
information such as staffing, communications, Minnesota Incident Management System, etc. refer to the
Direction and Control Annex [Appendix B] to this plan.)
6. Emergency Responsibility Assignments
A. A summary of the city's emergency responsibility assignments by function, is shown on Appendix
A. Heads of the various city government departments and agencies will be responsible for
carrying out the assignments shown on this appendix. Additional information about these
emergency responsibility assignments is contained in the annexes to this plan. One annex exists
for each of the responsibilities (functions) that are shown on Appendix A. City departments and
agencies are expected to develop whatever standard operation procedures (SOP'S) they may
need in order to carry out these responsibilities.
B. Responsibilities have been assigned by a code letter: "P, S, or C".
I. "P" indicates primary operational responsibility, which means the official or agency is
in charge of and responsible to make provision for that function. As a rule, only city
government officials can be assigned primary responsibility for carrying out a
function.
II. "S" indicates support responsibility that means the agency so assigned will, if
possible, support and assist the official or agency designated primarily responsible.
III. "C" indicates coordination responsibility and is assigned when several agencies have
support capability but no specific official or agency has obvious primary responsibility.
This will be true when non-government agencies are involved.

of St. Joseph's EOC. The EOC is located at the St. Joseph Community Fire Building, 323 4th
Avenue NE. If for some reason, the EOC is not usable at the time of a disaster, the City Offices
will serve as the alternate EOC.
C. Criteria for Activation
The degree of EOC activation will be determined by the severity of the emergency.
1. The EOC may be partially activated due to a potential threat to life or property from severe
weather, (e.g. tornado, flooding, blizzard); hazardous materials incident/accident (including a
controlled release of a SARA Title III reportable product) that is beyond the capabilities of
field operations, emergency levee failure, or a pipeline leak.
2. The EOC may be fully activated in response to a major emergency/disaster resulting in an
actual threat to life and property. This will include, but is not limited to: a tornado touchdown,
flooding, emergency levee failure, or pipeline leak which causes damage to the public and
private sector and requires a coordinated response effort; a hazardous materials
incident/accident involving the response of several agencies, (including county, federal, and
state as well as surrounding municipalities) or enemy attack.
D. Responsibility for EOC Activation
In the event of a major disaster, EOC staff will be expected to automatically report to the EOC.
However, the City Emergency Management Director is responsible for ensuring that the EOC is
activated according to the previously described criteria.
E. Staffing of the EOC
Refer to Appendix A
Staffing of the EOC will normally consist of the Mayor, Council, City Administrator, Emergency
Management Director, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Public Works Director, and anyone else requested
by the mayor. (The staffing list for the EOC is on file with the Emergency Management Director,
Police Department, and Fire Department. EOC staff is responsible for the operations of their
particular service or assignment. Each departmenUagency that is represented in the EOC is
responsible for ensuring that its representative is familiar with the duties that he/she is expected
to perform at the EOC.
If determined necessary, the city will activate a mobile command post to serve as an on-scene
command post. The Emergency Services Director will be responsible for coordinating the
activities at the scene of all City of St. Joseph forces. However, the EOC Operations Chief will
make all major decisions. The EOC will be kept informed on a timely basis of the response
efforts.

FIRE GROUND SAFETY EMS SCENE SAFETY:
1. For the purpose of the St. Joseph Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department operations, the fire
ground and EMS scene is defined as the area inside an imaginary boundary that has been
determined by safety considerations according to the foreseeable hazards of the particular
incident.
2. The intent of this procedure is to minimize fire ground or EMS scene confusion/congestion,
and more importantly, to limit the number of personnel exposed to the fire ground or EMS
scene hazards to only those necessary to successfully control the operation. Individuals or
crews shall be restricted from wondering about the fire ground or EMS scene or congregating
in non-functional groups. If you have not been assigned to a sector or you do not have a
necessary function to perform (investigation, photography, etc.) stay off the fire ground or
EMS scene.
3. In extremely hazardous situations (large quantities of flammable liquids, LP gas, hazardous
materials, difficult marginal rescues, etc.), the Fire Ground Commander will engage only an
absolute minimum number of personnel within the fire ground perimeter. Self-standing master
streams will be utilized whenever possible.
4. In extremely hazardous EMS scenes, the officer in charge will engage only an absolute
minimum number of personnel within the EMS scene perimeter.
5. In situations where crews are operating from opposing or conflicting positions, such as front
vs. rear attach streams, interior vs. exterior streams, roof crews vs. interior crews, etc. utilize
radio or face to face communications to coordinate your actions with hose of the opposing
crew in an effort to prevent needless injuries.
6. When laddering a roof, the ladder selected shall be one that will extend a minimum of 2' - 3'
above the roofline. This shall be done in an effort to provide personnel operating from the roof
with a visible means or egress.
7. If possible, when laddering buildings under fire conditions, place ladders near building
corners or firewalls, as these areas are generally more stable in the event of structural failure.
8. When operating above or below ground level, establish at least two separate escape
routes/means where possible, such as stairways, ladders, exits, etc., preferably at the
opposite ends of the building or separated by considerable distance.
9. The Fire Ground Commander/Chief will issue the Evacuation alarm when an imminent
notification for all fire ground personnel of a notable hazard that is either about to occur or
has occurred.
10. The Evacuation Alarm will consist of a blast from an air horn, which will be at least five
seconds in duration. The dispatcher will be notified and will activate the pager tone and give
the message to evacuate. The notification Alarm order company officers shall assemble their
crews and promptly exit to a safe location where the company officer will again account for all
crewmembers. When all affected crews and crewmembers are accounted for, the evacuation
process is complete. At this time, a more specific determination as to the reality/extent of re-
deploy/redirect attack forces.
6. SEARCH AND RESCUE:
1. Search and rescue should be performed according to an efficient procedure that has included
the safety of search crew personnel.
2. The object of the search effort is to locate possible victims, not create additional one by
neglecting the safety of the search crew.
3. Prior to entering the search area, all search area, all search team members should be familiar
with a search plan, including the overall objective, a designation of the search area, individual
assignments, etc. This may require a brief conference among crewmembers before entering
the search area to develop and communicate the plan.
4. Individual search activities should be conducted by two or more members where possible.
5. Company officers must maintain an awareness of the location and function of all members
within their crew during search operations.
6. A brief look around the floor below the fire may provide good reference for the search team,
as floors in multi-story occupancies usually have a similar layout.
40
7. Whenever a search is conducted that exposes search crews to fire, the crews should enter
with a charged hose-line in order to ensure a safe escape route. When there is no fire
present, a rope should be used.
STAIRWAYS (ELEVATORS:
If a working fire is suspected in a high-rise building, the following procedures shall be adhered to:
1. Utilize stairways to go aloft if possible.
2. Elevators may be used to go aloft provided the following measures have been taken:
A. The elevator shaft must be checked to ensure that heaUfire have not damaged
the hoist mechanism, etc. This can be done by checking the space between the
door-frame and the elevator car and shining a light up the shaft. If smoke or fire
is visible in the shaft, DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR.
B. You must verify that the floor you are going to arrive at is uninvolved. This can be
done by utilizing the following measures:
3. Elevators with firefighters service features:
A. Engage the firefighters feature.
B. Take the elevator to the floor two floors below the suspected fire floor.
C. If fire or smoke is visible on the floor, be prepared to close the elevator door
immediately, usually by removing finger from the door control button.
4. Elevator without firefighters service features:
A. The elevator shall be sent unmanned to the floor two floors below the suspected
fire floor and then returned to the ground floor.
B. If the elevator returns clear of smoke, the elevator may be used by fire personnel.
C. If the elevator returns and contains smoke, either clear out the smoke or use on
the elevator and send the elevator to the floor two floors below the previous floor.
Repeat until an elevator returns clear of smoke. IF IN DOUBT, DO NOT TAKE A
CHANCE -USE THE STAIRWAY!!!
8. CO DETECTORS:
1. Initial response to CO alarms will respond one truck to determine if the inhabitants are at risk.
If anyone shows signs or symptoms of CO poisoning, other units shall proceed to provide
emergency care as needed. The department shall utilize electronic metering to determine if
CO is present in the structure. If CO is present, the inhabitants shall be evacuated, the
hazard controlled, and the proper authorities contacted. If the hazard is controlled and all
persons safe, the Fire Department may need not remain on the scene until the utility
company arrives. After a release form is signed, the Fire Department may clear the scene if
no CO is present. The inhabitants should be advised to have the detector checked.
2. Occupant shall sign a CO release form and keep a copy.
3. For the purpose of this policy, controlling the hazard means eliminating the source of CO.
This may include, but not limited to: work burning stoves, natural gas, and propane fueled by
a gas solid or liquid source.
9. OPERATING POWER SAWS:
When operating power equipment under emergency conditions, accident potential is high due to
adverse operational conditions. A slight miscalculation or sudden unplanned move can result in a
serious accident. Performance skill, coupled with the use of common sense and the strict adherence
to safety procedures, can prevent accidents.
Personnel Protection:
A. Full protective clothing shall be worn by those members operating the power
saw.
B. The face shield shall be in position to provide eye protection.

3. Apre-planned escape route. Your plan should provide for at least
two means of egress if possible.
F. Always place the safety guard in the proper position to provide protection for the
use intended before operating the saw.
G. Operating a power saw above chest height is extremely hazardous and should
not be attempted as normal course of action. This type of operation shall be
conducted only under the direct order and/or under the supervision of an officer.
The officer ordering this operation shall weigh heavily the value gained against
the extreme hazard to personnel.
H. The use of power saw from ladders is not recommended if there are alternatives.
I. When operating close to highly combustible or flammable materials, use a
minimum of 1-1/2 charge hose-line to prevent ignition fro sparks.
J. If conditions permit, scrape gravel and debris from the path to be cut in order to
reduce the danger of injury from flying chips and loose materials.
K. When using the rescue saw to open metal buildings, door, etc., where conditions
permit, utilize methods to eliminate the hazards of sharp edges. Consider making
your cut in either an "X" design or a triangular design with the points bent inward.
3. Hurst Tool:
A. Full protective clothing shall be worn by those members operating and by those
members in close proximity to the operation of the Hurst Rescue Tool.
B. The hydraulic fluid used to operate the Hurst Tool can cause severe burns to the
eyes. To provide eye protection in the event of a hose or coupling failure where
fluid may be expelled, all members in the area of operation of a Hurst Tool shall
place their face shield in position to provide such protection.
C. Efforts shall be taken to protect the trapped and injured from further injuries as a
result of the hazards of the operation, such as sparks, propelled objects, flying
glass, etc.
