2 CLICK SCENARIO TO EDIT MASTER PANEL TITLE STYLE EPA-RD Facilitator: Ralph Dollhopf Panel: CP Dale Buckholtz EPA Paul Ruesch CSX Ryan Prewitt

3 REFERENCE CLICK TO SHEET EDIT RECAP MASTER - EXAMPLE TITLE STYLE B EPA-SR Derailment with Fire, 1 Car Release with Spill and Fire Panel Discussion including RRs, EPA Scenario presented with a video Facilitator will ask panel questions related to priorities and response actions

4 CLICK TO INTRODUCTION EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE EPA-SR Initial Conditions Objective Review Getting Started

5 CLICK TO OBJECTIVES EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE EPA-SR Demonstrate the ability to establish a NIMS-based ICS organization and establish incident scene control and safety procedures including hazard control zones, unified command and integrated communications. Discuss the application of a risk-based response process and whether to initiate offensive, defensive or non-intervention response strategies. Identify the appropriate local and regional, government and industry (e.g., railroad) resources available to support response operations for railroad unit train accidents.

6 CLICK OBJECTIVES TO EDIT (CONTINUED) MASTER TITLE STYLE EPA-SR Estimate and predict the behavior and movement of both the container and any released product, based on current and forecasted incident scene conditions. Determine the appropriate decontamination methods for personnel and equipment. Transfer command of an incident involving bulk hazardous flammable materials such as crude oil to the appropriate agency.

8 INITIAL CLICK CONDITIONS: TO EDIT MASTER SPILL TITLE & FIRE STYLE EPA-SR Unit Train derailed On a Bridge 3 Cars Derailed At least one tank is breached Crude oil being released into the waterway Intakes downstream Highly populated urban area At least one tank car has exploded and is on fire

9 CLICK PANEL TO EDIT DISCUSSION MASTER TITLE STYLE Lead the panel in a discussion focusing on: Initial Incident Priorities Initial Incident Objectives Initial Hour of Response Support Resources (Within 1 Hour of notification) Initial Operational Period Applying ICS

10 CLICK TO APPLYING EDIT MASTER ICS TITLE STYLE What agencies and organizations would be part of unified command? What elements of the ICS command and general staff would be initially staffed? How would railroad personnel and operations be integrated into the ICS organization?

11 RESPONSE CLICK STRATEGIES TO EDIT MASTER (FIRE TITLE CONTROL) STYLE Do you have sufficient resources to extinguish and cool surrounding tank cars? Fire control operations may be implemented in either an offensive or defensive mode.

12 CLICK FOLLOW-ON TO EDIT MASTER DISCUSSION TITLE STYLE What are the advantages and limitations of conducting fire control strategies? Under what conditions would emergency responders consider defensive fire control operations? Under what conditions would emergency responders consider offensive fire control operations? What factors should be considered as part of the size-up process and whether to initiate cooling tactics?

13 CLEAN CLICK UP & POST TO EDIT EMERGENCY MASTER TITLE OPERATIONS STYLE Determine appropriate decontamination methodology for personnel and equipment Determine optimum placement of a decontamination corridor Determine post-incident needs to document response operations and identify issues requiring corrective actions.

14 CLICK TO EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE

15 CLICK INITIAL TO INCIDENT EDIT MASTER PRIORITIES TITLE STYLE Safety of responders and the general public Incident stabilization Environmental impacts Information management

16 INITIAL CLICK INCIDENT TO EDIT OBJECTIVES MASTER TITLE (FIRE) STYLE Ensure the safety of the general public and emergency responders. Establish and maintain a unified response organization. Establish site management & control, and Initiate public protective actions of impacted areas. Notify downstream water users and intake facilities. Conduct a risk assessment to verify container status and potential behavior. Initiate fire control tactics to protect exposures and allow for a controlled burn (defensive strategy) or Initiate fire control tactics to control and extinguish the fire (offensive strategy). Keep the public and stakeholders informed of response activities

17 CLICK INITIAL TO HOUR EDIT MASTER OF RESPONSE TITLE STYLE Assume command. Establish an Incident Command Post (ICP). Contact the railroad. Separate people from the problem; establish an initial isolation perimeter and hazard control zones. Determine if Hazardous Materials are present. Size up the problem.

18 SUPPORT CLICK RESOURCES TO EDIT MASTER (WITHIN TITLE 1 HOUR) STYLE Local/Regional HMRT Regional Response Teams (RRTs) Foam Task Force Railroad Personnel & Contractors Environmental Agencies (US EPA, State EPA, USCG) Law Enforcement Local/State Highway Departments NRC Industry preparedness organizations

19 CLICK INITIAL TO OPERATIONAL EDIT MASTER PERIOD TITLE STYLE Establish a unified command organization. Expand the ICS organization based upon the nature of the problem. Ensure all responders are wearing the appropriate level of PPE. Ensure site management and control is maintained. Continue the hazard assessment and risk evaluation process Implement Public protective actions. Continue the hazard assessment and risk evaluation process. Initiate Incident Action Plan (IAP) and the applicable strategic mode and strategic goals.

20 INITIAL OPERATIONAL CLICK TO EDIT PERIOD MASTER (SPILL TITLE CONTROL) STYLE Tactical considerations for a spill scenario will include: Type of release scenario Speed and flow of the waterway Location of downstream water users. Availability of spill control resources Water safety considerations Maintain continuous air monitoring, as appropriate. Control and confinement of release

21 CLICK TO EDIT SUMMARY MASTER TITLE STYLE In this scenario we discussed how to: Establish a NIMS-based ICS organization incident scene control and safety procedures. Estimate and predict the behavior and movement of both the container(s) and any released product. Apply a risk-based response process to determine the most appropriate response strategies and modes of response operation. Identify the appropriate local and regional, government and industry resources available to support response operations. Determine the appropriate technical decontamination processes. Describe the process for transfer of command and the transition from emergency operations to post-emergency response operations (PERO).
