9 BEFORE Our Culture Our Policy Our Experience Our Condition DURING How We Did What We Did Why We Did It POST How We Do What We Do When We Do It

10 Condition Before and During The Incident HOW WE DID WHAT WE DID WHY WE DID IT Unaware Unpracticed Old School Unprotected Within A Norm Partial ICS Partial Size-Up Assumed Potential Risk Minimal Safety Physical Priority Situational Pressure (Blessing and a Curse) Culture Habitual Limited Understanding Minimal ICS Knowledge

11 Condition Post Incident HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO WHEN WE DO IT Unified Initiate ICS Before Practiced Size-Up During Calculated Unify Command After THE CRITICAL 5 Protected Risk vs Benefit, IAP Consistent

12 What We Do in the First 5 minutes INITIATE ICS When first arriving on scene, first responders shall promptly make contact with the incident commander (IC) as well as perform a scene size-up outside of the immediate impact area. If an IC has not been identified for the incident, the first arriving responder will assume the responsibility of IC until command of the incident is officially passed NOTE: Emergency Responders may consider entrance into a gaseous plume, after evaluating all risks, as a last resort, and it s agreed upon by the unified command

13 What We Do in the First 5 minutes SIZE-UP A concise, yet accurate, gathering of information from the incident scene, performed at a safe distance, which will influence actions taken to mitigate the emergency.

14 What We Do in the First 5 minutes UNIFY COMMAND Come together with other responding agencies, to include; Fire, Police, Electric Utility, etc. to formulate a command structure and develop an incident action plan (IAP). IC UNIFIED COMMAND GAS UTILITY LEAD SERVICE CONSTRUCTION UNITY OF COMMAND FIRE DEPT. LEAD FIREFIGHTER FIREFIGHTER UNITY OF COMMAND

15 What We Do in the First 5 minutes RISK VS BENEFIT (IAP DEVELOPMENT) Before any mitigating strategy is performed, an IAP shall be formulated between all unified personnel, evaluating risks vs. benefits. PRIORITIES 1. Life Safety a) Yours b) Partnered Emergency Responders c) Public 2. Property 3. Restore Normal Operations

16 Enhancements POLICY UPDATE We changed our policy to integrate into the ICS and give local responders the authority to make decisions on the ground. We recognized that all emergencies cannot fit into a single box response. We had to come up with logical realistic strategies that our boots on the ground could put into practice. Entering the uncontrolled release of natural gas may be the solution, but only after considering life safety aspects first.

17 Enhancements PASSPORT ACCOUNTABILITY (PILOT PHASE) Each employee having an on-scene emergency response role will be assigned personnel accountability tags (PAT). Each PAT will have the name of the Cascade Natural Gas employee embossed on it It will be each member s responsibility to maintain their PATs. A missing or damaged PAT should be reported to his/her manager immediately.
