Emergency Preparedness Pipeine emergencies are some of the most dangerous situations an emergency responder can encounter. Advance knowedge of pipeines in your community aong with knowing how to contact and work together with the pipeine operator are key factors to an effective and safe response 37

Emergency Preparedness What you shoud know before an incident: Names of the Companies operating pipeines in your community Emergency and non emergency contact information for a pipeine operators Approximate ocation of the pipeines Products transported in the pipeines Physica indications of a eak Possibe hazards associated with a reease Potentia impact on the community Steps that shoud be taken to protect the pubic Response capabiities of the pipeine operator 38

Emergency Preparedness Emergency Response Capabiities The Emergency Response Capabiities Database & Reporting Too is a free, webbased resource deveoped to enhance emergency preparedness and response panning in communities with pipeine infrastructure. Response capabiities for: Responding Agencies Pipeine Operators Personne training Responding units Cooperative agreements 39

Incident Response Steps Responders must understand the hazards and risks associated with the incident Seek additiona information about the pipeine in question as soon as possibe by caing the 24-hour emergency phone number for the pipeine operator Every incident is different - each wi have specia probems and concerns Refer to information contained in the North American Emergency Response Guidebook (NAERG) or more commony the DOT ERG Continue to gather information and monitor the situation unti the threat is removed 40

Incident Response Steps Use what you know - pipeines reease hazardous materias The ERG provides actions for the first moments of any Haz-Mat emergency The ERG white page guidance: Approach Cautiousy Secure The Scene Identify the Product and Hazards Assess the Situation Ca for Hep Respond Appropriatey Do NOT assume gasses or vapors are harmess due to ack of sme! 41

Step 1 - Approach with Caution from Upwind, Uphi or Upstream Approach with Caution Stay cear of vapors, fumes, smoke and spis Do not wak or drive into a vapor coud or pudde of iquid. Do not park over manhoes or storm drains. Do not approach the scene with vehices or mechanized equipment unti the isoation zones have been estabished. Vehice engines are a potentia ignition source. Use appropriate air-monitoring equipment to estabish the extent of vapor trave. 42

Step 2 - Secure the Scene Estabish Isoation Zones and Set Up Barricades Isoation zones and barricades prevent unauthorized peope and unprotected emergency responders from entering the hazard area and becoming injured. Based on the type of incident, use any or a of the foowing to cacuate and estabish isoation zones: DOT Emergency Response Guidebook Information from the pipeine operator s representative Heat intensity eves Measurements from air-monitoring equipment Use visibe andmarks, barricade tape or cones Define entry and exit routes 43

Step 2 - Secure the Scene Empoy the Incident Command System Empoying the Incident Command System (ICS) is one of the most important actions to take. ICS provides common terminoogy, organizationa structure, duties, and operationa procedures among operator personne and various federa, state and oca agencies that may be invoved in response operations. Identify an Incident Commander (IC) 44

Step 3 Identify the Hazards Identify Locate pipeine marker sign: Product Operator 24-hour emergency phone number Contact pipeine operator Refer to the DOT Emergency Response Guidebook 45

Step 4 - Assess the Situation Assess Is there a fire, spi or eak? Is there a vapor coud? What are the weather conditions? What direction is the wind bowing? What is the terrain ike? Who and what is at risk: peope, property or environment? What actions shoud be taken: Evacuation Sheter in-pace Diking? What human/equipment resources are required? 46

Step 5 Obtain Assistance Obtain Assistance Contact Your Organization and initiate the oca emergency response pan Ca The Pipeine Operator and have: Ca Back numbers, contact name Detaied Location and address Type of Emergency (Fire, Leak, Gas) Time of reease Known injuries Exposures Any specia situations Initiate Emergency Response Contacting pipeine operators as soon as possibe is critica to controing the incident 47

Step 6 - Respond to Protect Peope, Property and the Environment The protection of peope is aways the highest priority. Protective actions are those steps taken to preserve the heath and safety of emergency responders and the pubic during a pipeine incident. Rescue and Evacuate Peope Do not wak or drive into a vapor coud or pudde of iquid. Evacuate or sheter-in-pace as appropriate Administer first aid and medica treatment, as needed. Enter the area ony when wearing appropriate protective gear - such as Structura Fire Fighters Protective Cothing If Natura Gas is escaping in a buiding, refer to Appendix D for additiona precautions. 48

Appendix D - Natura Gas Recommend Minimum Evacuation Distances Appendix D - Natura Gas (Not appicabe for Butane, Propane, or other Hazardous Liquids) Pipeine Size (Inches) Pressure (psig) Tabe 1 Evacuation Distance in Feet 49

Step 6 - Respond to Protect Peope, Property and the Environment Eiminate Ignition Sources Fire Contro Park vehices in a safe ocation Park a emergency vehices at a safe distance beyond the isoation zone (upwind). Do NOT ight a match, start an engine, use a teephone or radio, Do NOT switch ights on or off or use anything that may create a spark. Let primary fire burn Coo surrounding structures Beware hot spot re-ignition Eiminate potentia ignition sources Do NOT inhae fumes, smoke or vapors Do NOT Operate pipeine equipment 50

Step 6 - Respond to Protect Peope, Property and the Environment Vapor Contro Limiting the amount of vapor reeased from a poo of fammabe or corrosive iquids requires the use of proper protective cothing, speciaized equipment, appropriate chemica agents, and skied personne. It is best to contain the hazards and wait for the pipeine operator s representative to hande the pipeine and its product. Do not inhae fumes, smoke or vapors. Eiminate ignition sources! Fammabe gases may escape and be ignited by a source in the area. Do not ignite a vapor coud! Avoid forced ventiation of structures and excavations. Limited fog misting can be of some benefit if knocking down a vapor 51

Step 6 - Respond to Protect Peope, Property and the Environment Leak Contro iquid pipeine eaks and ruptures can create major probems with spi confinement and containment. Ask yoursef where the spi wi be in a few hours? What can be done to confine the spi or divert it away from exposures. Estabish barriers to prevent eaks from spreading to water sources, storm drains or other sensitive areas. Storm sewer or manhoe dam Sma stream containment boom Pipe skimming underfow dam Wire fence or straw fiter dam If a eak is accidentay ignited, firefighting shoud focus exposures - In NO circumstances shoud efforts be made to extinguish the fire unti the source of suppy has been cut off or controed. Never touch vaves on a pipeine! 52

Step 7 - Work Together with the Pipeine Operator 911 Centers and Pipeine Contro Centers Receive initia notifications and coect critica information Dispatch personne and equipment to the scene Disseminate information to other agencies or organizations Estabish a point of contact for ongoing communications 53

Step 7 - Work Together with the Pipeine Operator Pipeine Operator s Representative Serves as the primary contact for communication between the operator s team and emergency responders Estabishes contact with the Incident Commander before and upon arriva Recommends actions to take especiay as they reate to containment and contro of the pipeine product 54

Step 7 - Work Together with the Pipeine Operator Pipeine Operator s Representative Knows how to shut off the suppy of gas or iquid Ony the operator s representative is trained to operate pipeine equipment The Pipeine Representative is the primary contact and is the utimate subject matter expert regarding the product being reeased 55

Step 7 - Work Together with the Pipeine Operator Emergency Responders Maintain site contro and act as Incident Commander (IC) Eiminate ignition sources and suppress vapors Provides standby rescue personne to pipeine operator personne entering the incident area to stop the reease Monitor the atmosphere in the repair and containment areas 56

Step 7 - Work Together with the Pipeine Operator Together Incident Commander and Pipeine Operator s Representative Identify pubic heath hazards and additiona protective actions to be taken Participate in Unified Command Determine when the operator s personne can safey enter the area Determine when the zone of infuence needs additiona diking Coordinate pubic information needs Decide when it is safe for the pubic to reenter the area Share any after action reports and cooperate on improvements 57

Damage Prevention A Shared Responsibiity Pipeine Integrity The pipeine industry uses a wide range of toos and technoogies to maintain safe operations by visuay inspecting aboveground pipes and reated equipment for corrosion and damage On a reguar basis, personne wak, drive and fy over pipeine right-ofways inspecting them for unauthorized activities, eaks, and other conditions that might endanger the pipeine Pipeine operators aso use in-ine inspection toos known as smart pigs to inspect beow grade pipe and equipment by hydrostatic testing, eectro-magnetic testing, and other techniques to identify defects which coud threaten pipeine integrity When inspection efforts identify any integrity-threatening conditions, the operator takes corrective action to maintain safe operations 58

Damage Prevention A Shared Responsibiity Pipeine Integrity Interna Inspection Devices (Smart Pigs) are mechanica devices moved through a pipeine to inspect the pipe for defects and corrosion Geometry Pig Pig Launching and Receiving Station Smart Pig 60

Damage Prevention A Shared Responsibiity Excess Fow Vaves (EFV) and Curb Vaves Excess Fow Vaves automaticay restrict the fow of gas in service ines that have been cut or damaged Excess fow vaves may not be instaed in a service ines Curb Vaves protect against uncontroed gas reeases from arger commercia and industria users, gas distribution companies are required to insta curb vaves, manuay operated shutoff vaves near the service main, or EFVs Poicies regarding the operation of curb vaves by emergency response personne shoud be coordinated with the oca gas company so a parties are cear about what might be expected 61

Damage Prevention A Shared Responsibiity Emergencies Affecting Pipeines Many types of emergency situations can affect buried pipeines (train deraiments, foods, earthquakes, forest fires, structure coapses, etc.) Pipeine companies shoud be notified so they can monitor and verify the integrity of nearby pipeines Responders may be abe to notify pipeine operators of the emergency by caing 811 and informing the One-Ca Center of the situation Coordination with pipeine operators during emergencies wi ensure the safety of the response team and aso the surrounding community 62

Damage Prevention A Shared Responsibiity Security and Damage Reporting In our nation s time of heightened security, Homeand security and infrastructure protection is a shared responsibiity. Report any damage or unusua activity aong a pipeine right-of-way to the pipeine operator The operator wi immediatey investigate and repair any damage if you SEE something SEE something REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY to oca authorities 63

Summary Responding to pipeine emergencies is as detaied as any hazardous materias event Responders must understand the hazard and risks of the products They must be we acquainted with the transmission, distribution and service systems They aso have to have a strong knowedge base to operate safey at these incidents 64
