Ramsey County │ Annex B: Protective Actions 24 The mobilization phase is characterized by: • Notification and activation of County/municipal RCEOC staff. • Review of associated pre-developed plans, procedures, and protocols. • Information gathering to create a common operating picture. • Communication to identify any issues that may impact the implementation of an evacuation or sheltering operation (holidays, high tourism season, roadway construction, etc.). • Coordination with potential risk and host area EOCs to identify populations at-risk, available evacuation routes, and possible host shelter destinations. • Continual monitoring of the event for changes that may affect the movement of evacuees and any potential impacts on available resources. • Development of incident-specific plans. These may include, as appropriate: o Decision points for shelter-in-place and/or evacuation (taking accessibility into account for evacuation timing). o Specific directions for shelter-in-place as decided and dependent upon the hazard. o Identification of specific shelter needs to support the evacuated population (e.g., TEPs, shelters, transportation of vulnerable populations, potential refuge options, phased shelter openings). o Creation of a Traffic Plan that includes specific traffic management actions needed to maintain a smooth flow of traffic along evacuation routes to host shelters (e.g., traffic control points, barricade plans, contraflow operations). o Identification of specific public information actions needed to effectively communicate incident information to the public (e.g., essential elements of information, talking points, signage, map needs, creation of shelter information centers). • For all incident-specific planning, the availability and need for resources – personnel, equipment, supplies, and facilities – should be determined and mutual or state aid requests enacted, as needed. • Creation of accessible public alerts and warning messages. • Distribution of maps, fliers, and other protective action information to first responders and front-line workers. • Exchange of critical information with key stakeholders (including local, tribal, and state governments, agency representatives, community-based organizations (CBOs) and trusted community messengers through conference calls). • Pre-deployment of personnel, supplies, and equipment to support notification, traffic management, transportation, and mass care operations (such as programmable message boards, Amplitude Modulation / Frequency Modulation [AM/FM] transmitters, tow trucks, gasoline tankers, transport buses, ambulances and medical personnel, and shelter management personnel).
