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 84-99 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.

(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.

(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 84-99 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
