Background

This exercise is based on the National Planning Scenario for a Chlorine Tank explosion developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the federal interagency community. This exercise was developed by FEMA's Private Sector Division in its Office of External Affairs.

In this scenario there will be an explosion on a rail car transporting chlorine to an industrial facility one evening, after 6pm. The explosion will release a large quantity of chlorine gas downwind of the site, affecting 100,000 people up to 25 miles away. Downwind populations will be required to either evacuate ahead of the plume or shelter in place. Two hospitals in the downwind area will require protective action.

Our organization and our employees will be threatened.

Community impacts we can expect:

Casualties: Dozens of fatalities; hundreds of severe injuries; thousands of hospitalizations

Evacuations/Displaced Persons:

100,000 instructed to temporarily shelter-in-place as plume moves across region

50,000 evacuated to shelters in safe areas

50,000 self-evacuate out of region

Contamination: Primarily at explosion site, and if waterways are impacted

Infrastructure Damage: Rail lines, nearby highway in immediate explosion area, and metal corrosion in areas of heavy exposure

Economic Impact: Millions of dollars

Recovery Timeline: Weeks

Emergency management is an organized process by which organizations and communities:

Prepare for and Protect against hazards.

Respond to emergencies that occur.

Recover from emergencies to restore the community to its pre-emergency condition.

Mitigate risks.

The degree to which emergency management is effective depends heavily on the emergency planning process.

Prepare & Protect - Discussion

• What are the hazards? How do we protect our people?

• Who is our team, internally and externally?

• How will we communicate? What if systems fail?

• How well do we communicate across Public Safety?

• What are our needs, for supplies, etc.?

• What are needs of employees and their families? How do we protect them?

• What are needs for protecting our organization?

• What can we do now to recover more quickly later?
