2 ANNEX AA (HURRICANE) to MVD ALL HAZARDS OPERATIONS ORDER (OPORD) MVD OPORD (MVD RESPONSE TO HURRICANE EVENTS) (U) (U) REFERENCES: See base OPORD. (U) Time Zone Used Throughout the (OPORD): Central Daylight Savings Time (U) Task Organization: a. Mississippi Valley Division b. St. Paul District c. Rock Island District d. St. Louis District e. Memphis District f. Vicksburg District g. New Orleans District 1. (U) SITUATION. a. (U) General. The Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coasts are vulnerable to landfall of a major hurricane. A major disaster declaration would result in the commitment of significant Mississippi Valley Division (MVD) resources, as well as those of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The USACE assets including Vicksburg District (MVK) and New Orleans District (MVN) personnel and equipment are vulnerable to hurricanes or tropical storms. Proactive measures are required to provide safe refuge from a significant weather-related event. In the event of a tropical storm/hurricane, MVD provides public works and engineering support within the Division s Area of Operations (AO) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for emergency response and recovery under Stafford Act authority IAW the National Response Framework (NRF). MVD is also prepared to support other USACE Divisions as required by HQUSACE and to respond to all flood and coastal emergencies within applicable provisions of PL while maintaining our readiness, executing missions and honoring our commitments. b. (U) Enemy Forces. (1)(U) Weather. The 2016 Hurricane Season begins 1 June and runs through 30 November. Bill Frederick, MVD Meteorologist will provide updates from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Team, concerning the 2016 Hurricane Season in late May 16. c. (U) Friendly Forces. See base OPORD. d. (U) Assumptions. AA-2

3 ANNEX AA (HURRICANE) to MVD ALL HAZARDS OPERATIONS ORDER (OPORD) MVD OPORD (MVD RESPONSE TO HURRICANE EVENTS) (U) (1)(U) The MVD is the supported division, and MVK, MVM and MVN are the supported districts. (2)(U) A major hurricane making landfall within the MVD AO impacts MVN and MVK to the extent that external support will be required for the execution of traditional CW Programs, PL missions, and NRF missions. (3)(U) Major disaster declarations will be in effect for the States of LA and MS, and FEMA will issue mission assignments (MAs) to MVD to establish Recovery Field Offices (RFO) in each state. (4)(U) The disaster will cause many casualties, damage a large number of structures, and result in the disruption of essential life support services to the Gulf Coast of LA and MS. (5)(U) State and local resources and capabilities to respond to a catastrophic disaster will be exceeded and Federal assistance will be necessary. (6)(U) Transportation systems will be adversely affected; roads and bridges may be impassable due to failure or obstruction, railroads and airports may sustain damage, and waterborne navigation may be curtailed or severely impacted by debris or sunken vessels. (7)(U) Water and wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations will be damaged and/or inoperable. (8)(U) Flood Damage Reduction Works (FDRW) may sustain damage, and flooding may impede response efforts. (9)(U) Communications will be degraded due to damage to phone lines and cell towers. (10)(U) Civil disorder may occur and cause delays in search and rescue, preliminary damage assessments, and the delivery of life sustaining supplies. (11)(U) The MVD Headquarters (HQMVD) will activate the MVD Crisis Management Team (CMT) and deploy a MVD Forward (MVD-FWD) as needed dependent on the size and intensity of event (see Appendix 3). AA-3

4 ANNEX AA (HURRICANE) to MVD ALL HAZARDS OPERATIONS ORDER (OPORD) MVD OPORD (MVD RESPONSE TO HURRICANE EVENTS) (U) (12)(U) Depending on the size of the event HQUSACE may deploy a USACE Task Force Commander (UTFC). (13)(U) Technical support to MVN will be available from supporting MVD elements including Memphis (MVM), Rock Island (MVR), and St. Louis (MVS) Districts to assist with the execution of missions assigned by FEMA, unwatering of flooded areas, and inspection, repair and operation of critical Civil Works(CW)facilities, respectively. (14)(U) The MVD Planning and Response Teams (PRTs) will be available for deployment. (15)(U) Dual Status Commanders will be designated. The Joint Force Land Component Commander may deploy a Joint Task Force or other support element. 2. (U) MISSION. On order, HQMVD will mobilize to protect personnel and materiel assets and provide disaster response in the event of a Gulf Coast tropical system impacting the states of MS and/or LA. The HQMVD and district offices will execute CW Program, PL missions, and FEMA MAs as directed. 3. (U) EXECUTION. a. (U) Commander's Intent. (1) (U) Purpose. (a) (U) See base OPORD. (b) (U) In the event of a potential hurricane, HQMVD will mobilize resources needed to successfully execute response missions. We will ensure that personnel, equipment and supplies are pre-positioned in LA and MS to execute response missions. HQMVD will provide a Division Forward to manage the USACE response and interact with Congressional, state, and local leadership. MVR will be prepared to command and support an Unwatering Team and/or Subject Matter Expert Cadre, if required. MVN will determine the need to evacuate at risk personnel/equipment, preposition personnel to manage the Hurricane Storm Damage Risk Reduction System and be prepared to reconstitute the district if required.

5 ANNEX AA (HURRICANE) to MVD ALL HAZARDS OPERATIONS ORDER (OPORD) MVD OPORD (MVD RESPONSE TO HURRICANE EVENTS) (U) (2) (U) Key Tasks. (a) (U) See base OPORD. (b) (U) Update district hurricane plans yearly. (c) (U) Conduct plan review and rehearsal exercise yearly. (d) (U) Assess the potential impacts anticipated by forecasted storm surge, wind, and rainfall levels. (e) (U) Evacuate at risk personnel and equipment and prepare USACE facilities for potential impacts. (f) (U) Pre-position personnel, equipment and supplies needed to successfully execute post landfall missions. (g) (U) Conduct hurricane response operations fully accounting for the safety of responders. (3) (U) End State. See base OPORD. b. (U) Concept of Operation. MVD will execute FEMA MAs, PL response and other CW missions by incorporating the following activities/concepts: (1) (U) The MVD prepares for hurricane response through pre-season planning and exercise activities (see Figure 1A). MVD executes response operations in accordance with the NRF, fivephase timeline for response and recovery. The five-phase timeline includes Activation (H-144 to H-96), Deployment (H-96 to H-72), Execution (H-72 to D-0), Recovery (D+0 to completion), and Physical and Fiscal Closeout. The term H and D are used to indicate the hour and day sequence of a tropical cyclone making landfall. The H will be used 144 hours prior to a predicted landfall, the "D" will be used for a 24 hour period after land fall of an identified tropical cyclone. The hours shown in the phases are approximate hours and responding units should be flexible when interpreting the hour sequences as some phases may overlap. Tasks to specific offices associated with these timelines are presented in paragraph 3.c. The MVD Hurricane Matrix that designates phases, a timeframe and division/district action is located on the MVD Regional KME Shareport site under the Plans tab: AA-5

8 (2) (U) Evacuation of at-risk personnel and materiel. The MVN, MVK, and MVM Commanders direct the evacuation of personnel assets, the deployment of individual teams and the movement and securing of at-risk floating plant(s) (Safe Harbor Procedures) in accordance with District OPLANs and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The Commanders direct the re-deployment of personnel in accordance with established plans. MVN is responsible for addressing personnel reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (RSOI) for deployed and evacuated MVN employees. An RSOI capability will be established at all evacuation sites to maintain 100% accountability for all employees evacuating and responding to an event. (3) (U) MVN residual capability assessment. The MVN Commander will assess organic capability to execute post landfall missions and report status to the MVD Commander. (4) (U) Staffing of FEMA Offices.
