Requesting Board approval to revise Holiday Policy 504 removing Section 1.1; see attached revised policy. Removing
Section 1.1 would require the Health Department to observe Columbus Day and close down. In years prior, to best
serve the public and coordinate with the holiday schedule for the Family Independence Agency, Health Department
employees did not observe Columbus Day as a holiday and received one floating holiday to be used each calendar
year.
We have discussed this change with both Rashmi Travis, Health Officer & Susan Bailey Carman, DHS Director and
have their support. It is the Executive Team's recommendation to approve this change to create unity throughout all
county employment policies and contracts and provide a potential savings in utilities for this building.

•
On February 18, we reviewed our budget policy and the process for putting
together the budget. There is a lot of excitement toward having an interactive
process with regard to establishing goals and prioritizing services which is likely
to lead to well thought out decisions with a greater understanding of the impact of
our decisions.
•
West Michigan Regional Planning Commission Annual Request for Projects –
Since Allegan County is a member of the CEDS program; the County and its
community can apply to the USEDA (U.S. Economic Development
Administration) for funding assistance on projects they are considering. WMRPC
is currently developing a complete project list for 2012 that will incorporate
submissions for 2010 and 2011. The complete packet of information is attached.
Administration will be sending this to County departments for their information
and possible submission of projects.

A question arose with respect to the status of a Board Retreat. Initially, the
retreat was going to focus on goals/planning and/or prioritization of services

our Board Planning Sessions. The services discussion will be incorporated into
special budget meetings. I plan to meet with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and
Human Resources Director to discuss their thoughts for the potential focus of a
Board Retreat.
Services (public [customer based] information)
•
Jail and Sheriff Administration Building Project – A question was presented during
the last meeting as to where we are with potential renovations for the Sheriff’s
offices. We are at a point where finalizing a contract with an architect is critical to
the next steps of our project. The Board, trying to experience all efficiencies we
can in this project, has committed to an aggressive planning process. Until we
can embark on that process decisions with regard to any renovations, new
construction, etc. are on hold. Given the existence of a contract with a
construction manager which is paid in equal monthly payments at this point, and
our ownership of a current vacant facility, there is great financial incentive to
move forward quickly.
•
Lakeshore Coordinating Council - On February 19, a meeting took place between
the Administrators of Allegan, Berrien, Ottawa and Muskegon counties along with
Community Mental Health representation. The discussion focused on the need
for Ottawa and Muskegon to pursue an integrated approach to substance abuse
and mental health. Their research indicated many clients are not considered
“single issue” and believe they can provide integrated services more efficiently
directly through their counties. Absent the current ability to create another
coordinating agency (CA) designation, the counties are investigating being able
to keep the Lakeshore Coordinating Council as the CA but have a delegation
agreement for substance abuse funds to go directly to the counties. Ottawa and
Muskegon are developing a model for this and will come back with a proposal in
the next six weeks.
In addition, legacy costs need to be considered as part of that model. Legacy
costs also need be considered with respect to Cass and Van Buren counties
since their departure.
•
Allegan County Animal Shelter - On February 18, representatives from the
Allegan County Sheriff’s Department, Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance, and
Allegan County Administration met to discuss a model for working collaboratively
to ensure the health and wellness of animals while in our care and maintain
compliance with all applicable policy and code the County must maintain. The
meeting was extremely positive and productive. Through a facilitated discussion,
the parties discussed the purpose of each organization, areas of common
ground, areas of differences or conflict, and developed next steps designed to
capitalize on the common areas and overcome areas of conflict.
2
The parties agreed to the following and will follow-up with another meeting in
the next few weeks:
1. The County agrees to provide Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance (WPRA)
volunteers shelter access Monday-Friday from 5 PM to 8 PM, and
Saturday & Sunday from 12 PM to 8 PM. (Details are to be determined).
2. The Animal Control Shelter Operation (ASCO) agrees that these (hours
listed in item 1) will be a regular schedule and a problem resolution, review
and comment process will be developed with internal Shelter staff and
WPRA staff.
3. ACSO supports WPRA’s involvement in SCRAB subcommittee – oversight
of shelter.
4. County will research security and webcam for shelter.
5. Create a “Draft” for an Agreement between ACSO & WPRA.
6. The ACSO retains management of the shelter.

MEMORANDUM
To: Region 8 Governmental Units, Development Organizations, and Others
From: Dave Bee, Director
Date: February 11,2010
Subject: Request for Projects - Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)
The West Michigan Regional Planning Commission (WMRPC) is the designated agency
under the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) that prepares and submits the'
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the Region 8 service area that,
includes the counties of Allegan, Ionia, Kent, Mecosta, Montcalm, Osceola, and Ottawa,
Through this program, the WMRPC assists local governments in planning and funding
economic development projects. The WMRPC has served as the local agency since 1973 aii'd
has helped bring over $71 million in EDA investments to Region 8 communities.
..
,":)
In 2007 the WMRPC developed its first three-year CEDS, eliminating the need for an annJiliI
document and list of projects. But, the WMRPC recognized that issues and goals change lliRl
that there were many potential projects not listed in the 2007-2009 CEDS, To provide EDA
with a current list projects, the WMRPC submitted a supplemental CEDS in 2008 and 2009.
'
The WMRPC will again develop a three year CEDS, but the order is reversed for the next
cycle. The WMRPC will develop preliminary lists of projects in 20 I0 and 20 II - and will
produce a complete CEDS in 2012. The CEDS Committee and the WMRPC will use 2010
and 20 II to gather projects and will use 2012 to refine and prioritize the gathered projects.
All projects submitted to the WMRPC in 2010 and 20 II will be included in two interim
CEDS documents that will be forwarded to EDA for consideration (funding is available each
of the three years).
If your community is interested in applying to EDA for funding assistance, please complete
the enclosed submission form and forward it to the WMRPC by May I, 20 I 0 to allow the
CEDS Committee time to review the projects at its May 26, 20 I 0 meeting.
Please review the two-sided EDA document enclosed with this packet that identifies EDA's
six Investment Priorities and EDA's current Investment Programs.
Listing projects in the CEDS is the first step in the EDA process, After a project is listed,
contact the WMRPC to move projects forward. Communities can file an application for an
EDA grant any time during the calendar year and the WMRPC will work closely with
applicants to create a successful application. If you have any questions or would like more
information, please caIl our offices or contact one of the CEDS Committee representatives
from your county.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
To assist planning efforts in community and economic development, provide a regional forum
for sharing in/ormation and idea.", and promote cooperative solutions to regional issues.

Eeonomte Development Administration
U.S. Department of Commerce
EDA's Mission: To lead the federal economic development agenda by
promoting innovation and competitiveness, preparing American regions for
growth and success in the worldwide economy.
EDA targets its investment assistance on attracting private capital investment and creating higher-skill,
living-wage jobs in those communities and regions that are suffering from economic distress as described in
13 C.F.R. § 301.3. EDA investments are focused on locally-developed, regionally-based economic
development initiatives that achieve the highest return on the taxpayers' investment and that directly
contribute to economic growth. EDA is authorized to partner with non-profit organizations and units of local
government.
EDA Investment Priorities:
Within the parameters of a competitive grant process, all projects are evaluated to determine if they advance
global competitiveness, create jobs, leverage public and private resources, can demonstrate readiness and
ability to use funds quickly and effectively and link to specific and measureable outcomes. To facilitate
evaluation EDA has established the following investment priorities:
1. Collaborative Regional Innovation
Initiatives that support the development and growth of innovation clusters based on existing regional
competitive strengths. Initiatives must engage stakeholders; facilitate collaboration among urban,
suburban and rural (including Tribal) areas; provide stability for economic development through long
term intergovernmental and public/private collaboration; and, support the growth of existing and
emerging industries.
2. PubliclPrivate Partnerships
Investments that use both public and private sector resources and leverage complementary investments
by other government/public entities and/or non-profits.
3. National Strategic Priorities
Initiatives that encourage job growth and business expansion in clean eriergy; green technologies;
sustainable manufacturing; information technology (e.g., broadband, smart grid) infrastructure;
communities severely impacted by automotive industry restructuring; natural disaster mitigation and
resiliency; access to capital for small and medium sized and ethnically diverse enterprises; and,
innovations in science, health care and alternative fuel technologies.
4. Global Competitiveness
Investments that support high-growth businesses and innovation-based entrepreneurs to expand and
compete in global markets.
5. Environmentally-Sustainable Development
Investments that encompass best practices in "environmentally sustainable development," broadly
defined, to include projects that enhance environmental quality and develop and implement green
products, processes, and buildings as part of the green economy.
6. Economically Distressed and Underserved Communities
Investments that strengthen diverse communities that have suffered disproportionate economic and job
losses and/or are rebuilding to become more competitive in the global economy.
EDA Investment Programs:
Public Works: Empowers distressed communities to revitalize, expand, and upgrade their physical
infrastructure to attract new industry, encourage business expansion, diversify local economies, and
generate or retain long-term, private sector jobs and investment.
Economic Adjustment: Assists state and local interests in designing and implementing strategies to
adjust or bring about change to an economy. The program focuses on areas that have experienced or
are under threat of serious structural damage to the underlying economic base.
Community Trade Adjustment Assistance: Provides project grants to communities that have
experienced, or are threatened by, job loss resulting from international trade impacts.
Parlnership Planning: Supports local organizations (Economic Development Districts, Indian
Tribes, and other eligible areas) with long-term planning efforts.
Trade Adjustment Assistancefor Firms: A national network of eleven Trade Adjustment
Assistance Centers to help manufacturers and producers affected by increased imports prepare and
implement strategies to guide their economic recovery.
Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive Fund: Finances projects that foster economic
development by advancing the green economy in distressed communities.
University Centers: A partnership of the federal government and academia that makes the varied
and vast resources of universities available to the economic development community.
Research and National Technical Assistance: Supports research of leading edge, world class
economic development practices and information dissemination efforts.
Local Technical Assistance: Helps fill the knowledge and information gaps that may prevent
leaders in the public and nonprofit sectors in distressed areas from making optimal decisions on
local economic development issues.

Prebid or Qualifications:
This purchase is eligible for purchase of the MDOT State contract. I am requesting emergency authorization to purchase one of two busses.
This purchase will be funded with funds from MDOT Contract 2007-0157/Z16. These vehicles are part of the board approved FY2009
MDOT application on 2-14-2008.
Recommendation of Award:
Purchase off State Contract (MiDeal)
It was my intent to submit an RFA for the purchase of two buses off the State Contract (MiDeal) from Coach & Equipment Manufacturing
Corp. in January 2010. The two buses are budgeted for FY2010. On January 18th the state put a hold on bus purchases as the State contract
for buses had reach the total quantity. MDOT sought approval for an extension of the current State bus contracts. On February 14th MDOT
issued permission to once again to purchase from the state contract. Diesel chassis have not been available as new emissions laws have gone
into effect January 2010. This created a difficulty for the bus being funded by a "Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Grant" (CMAQ)
which is for the purchase of one clean diesel bus. It was thought that there no more diesel chassis available but, on Friday February 19th the
bus manufacture was able to locate a diesel chassis, but needs a confirmed order by Tuesday February 23, or it will be sold to the next in line.
New diesel chassis will not be available for possibly 1-2 years. This will create a hardship for the County's transit operations. Both vehicles
to be replaced with this year bus orders have meet their useful life and have been removed from service. One has been disposed and one soon
to be for sale on Ebay. It would not be in the best interest to wait for this replacement vehicle. We are still down one bus less due to the
accident last year. The remaining Gas engine bus will be requested under the normal BOC process with a new RFA. See attached support.

Subject: Ford Diesel
Hello Dan:
I wanted to follow up with you regarding a brief window of opportunity that might be of interest to you. I recall you
mentioning to me within the last week or two that you were considering ordering a couple of buses and that you
were grappling with the issue that one of your funding sources for these new bus purchases was from CMAQ
money for a “diesel” bus. As we both know, Ford and GM both are not offering diesel chasses right now because
of the new federal emission standards that went into effect on January 1, 2010. Ford hopes to be able to offer a
diesel chassis once again sometime in 2011. GM keeps telling us that they plan to offer a diesel chassis
sometime later this summer 2010, but each time we ask GM for a price they keep delaying/pushing the date and
tell us they are not quite ready yet.
To meet these new emission standards, from everything we read, both Ford and Gm plan to use UREA. UREA is
a liquid that will be stored on board the vehicle in a smaller tank and mixed in the fuel stream with the diesel fuel
in the vehicles fuel delivery system. Yes, it will add to the purchase price, the operating costs, and the complexity
of transportation operations; but this UREA diesel fuel mixture will reduce emissions. Until both Ford and GM
figure out this new technology or come up with a different technology to meet emission standards the industry
does not have a diesel offering in this class of bus.
With that bad news out of the way, there is a glimmer of hope. Our bus manufacturer, just alerted me to the fact
that due to some changes in customer orders for 2009, we now have some left over 2009 diesel chasses
available, but I am sure wont be available for long, because everyone is going to want to grab the few that are left
over. In our inventory we have the following diesel chasses:
1 – 176” wheelbase
2 – 158” wheelbase [ordered/committed 2/19/10 by TRANSPO, South Bend, IN]
1 – 158” wheelbase [ordered/committed 2/19/10 by Dial-A-Ride, Niles, MI]
2 – 158” wheelbase [ordered/committed 2/19/10 by Van Buren, MI]
1 – 158” wheelbase [Allegan County Transit on hold awaiting decision]
This will exhaust all of our diesel chasses remaining in inventory. I can wait for your decision a day or two, but the
factory will not want to wait beyond 1 – 2 days, if a bona fide order is presented from another customer.
I hope this helps you decide. There isn’t any time really and sorry for the pressure/rush; but wanted you to know
this opportunity was available.
Thanks, Jim

HI Dan
If at all possible, it would be best to purchase the diesel bus that was described in your
original application and worksheet.
Several steps would need to be completed to change the approval to a different type of
bus.
We will need to resubmit the CMAQ worksheet and application to request a new eligibility
determination from FHWA.
Please, let me know if you have any questions or how I can be of assistance.

Sandra,
My FY2009 CMAQ grant is for 1 clean Diesel bus.
I have been told
neither Ford or Chevy are in production of Diesel Chassis and most
likely will not have anything until 2012.
What are my options if I can
not located a diesel bus chassis? I vendor off the state contract has
one if I can purchase by Tuesday, but I'm not sure I can meet the local
purchasing requirements on such short notice.
Please provide and
suggestion or options I may have to purchase a bus and still meet the
CMAQ requirements.
I would be ok with a Gas engine if necessary.
badly need a vehicle.
Please advise.
Sincerely,

Section 1
A. Organizational Overview
Allegan County Health Department (ACHD) is located in southwest Michigan in a rural
agricultural county. There are approximately 110,000 persons residing in Allegan
County; residents can access healthcare services at the ACHD. There is a large
population of Hispanics seeking services in the county. The last census noted 6.7
percent, which is about 2.5 percent above the State average. In addition, the county has
the largest agriculture economy in the state, employing a large number of migrant
workers who seek services. This special population has not been measured in the census
because of the seasonal nature of employment. There are approximately 16,740 persons
with disabilities living in Allegan County. Moreover, education levels are challenging
with 82.3 percent of people 25 or older with a high school diploma level of education or
less; this is one percent less than the state average. Allegan County Health Department
has four sections, which consist of Administrative, Personal Health, Environmental
Health, and Health Promotions. The Personal Health Section of the Health Department
consists of Immunization, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), Communicable
Diseases, Tuberculosis, HIV, Maternal Infant Health Program, Children’s Special
Healthcare Service, and Hearing and Vision Programs.
For the last ten years, the quality improvement (QI) measures for Personal Health
programs have been chart audits and client satisfaction surveys. The primary purpose of
the survey was to:
• Describe clients’ level of satisfaction with core features of personal health
services.
• Describe clients’ perceptions of the effectiveness of case managers/nurses in
helping with client needs.
• Determine whether there are systematic differences in how clients experience care
based on client characteristics like race, gender, or geographic location.
This process is being evaluated because the return rate on the surveys is extremely low
and limited sampling cannot be extrapolated with confidence and the limited data
collected has no statistical significance. The clients with the lowest surveys return rate is
seen in the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Program.
The assumptions for the low return rate are as follows:
• There is such a stigma associated with STDs so the client wants to complete the
appointment and leave the facility as soon as possible.
• The survey is too long.
• The survey is not culturally appropriate and at the appropriate educational level,
in the appropriate language, or written gender appropriate.
In this proposed QI project, the STD program would assess two target areas, customer
satisfaction and culturally appropriate services. The project would evaluate the
effectiveness of using achievable benchmarks to enhance typical performance feedback
and improve delivery of care. These benchmarks and other types of comparative data will
provide a means of identifying quality improvement opportunities. Because of the diverse
2
population in Allegan County, the survey needs to be culturally appropriate to ensure the
highest possibility of return and valid data collection. If modifying the current survey
process increases the amount of surveys returned, the data collected could be evaluated
with a level of confidence and would lend to statistical significance. Moreover, program
changes could occur related to client input and data thus possibly increasing client
satisfaction and program efficiency. In addition, the STD program would incorporate
cultural sensitivity methodologies, if indicated in a new survey and delivery of care.
B. Current STD Customer Satisfaction Process
The current instrument used in the STD program to measure customer satisfaction and
delivery of care is the client satisfaction survey. The support staff dispenses the client a
survey with other initial paperwork during the check in process. There is not a standard
process for how the surveys are collected or how the instruments are introduced and
addressed during the visits with the STD nurses. Moreover, there is not any standard
follow-up activity as well. This process has been in place for five years.
C. Current STD Process to Provide Culturally Appropriate Services
The current process to meet the language needs of ACHD’s Hispanic population is a
Family Planning’s support staff person who will provide translation services when
available. The other option is translation via the telephone, which has to be initiated in
advance. The first obstacle in this process is the large amount of walk-in clients when the
translator from Family Planning is not available. The second obstacle is that the surveys
are not available in Spanish. This process to be able to communicate with the Hispanic
population has been in place for five years. In the last two years, the Health Department
has hired two bi-lingual staff members to assist with Spanish translation when scheduled
in the facility and not out in the field. This appears to help serve these clients with greater
competency. The STD program currently does not have the survey in any other language,
any gender specific surveys and have been evaluated for literacy appropriateness. The
survey utilized in the STD program has not been updated in five years.
D. Opportunity for Improvement
Allegan County’s STD program recognizes the great need to evaluate the current survey
process. To be able to make programmatic changes based on client input and need; the
rate of survey return has to increase to be sampled at a confidence level. Last year, the
program had approximately 190 client visits, which yielded eight returned surveys. The
new Director of Personal Health understands that improvement starts with greater survey
return rate. The first step would be to evaluate the survey instrument in the level of
cultural competence and explore different methods to complete the survey, such as, paper
survey or computer survey. In addition, evaluate how the survey is introduced to the
client; discussed during the visit, and collected after care. The second step would put in
place a QI team to implement a new survey and process that is standardized yet culturally
individualized for each client. Then, reevaluate the return rate of the surveys and data
collected at quarterly intervals. The QI team will either adopt the current process as the
standard or implement a new process, if indicated. When statistically significant data is
collected the team can make programmatic changes that correlate with client input and
needs thus increasing client satisfaction.
3
E. Allegan County Health Department’s Capacity to Carry out this QI Project
The QI team for this project will be interdepartmental. It will include the Director of
Personal Health, Health Educator and Health Officer who have working backgrounds in
QI and QA processes, and the STD program staff. The new Director of Personal Health
along with team members has been evaluating the current “QI” and “QA” processes. The
consensus is that the processes are not collecting the data that the programs need to
become more efficient and effective. A Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle has recently
been implemented for immunization. The Director of Personal Health plans to implement
the PDSA cycle for all personal health program surveys with a starting point being the
STD program. The two bi-lingual staff members along with the Health Educator would
develop surveys in different languages to ensure the clients can understand the survey.
The Health Educator will research the gender and educational appropriate approach and
educate the team members so that a culturally appropriate survey or surveys will be
developed and implemented. The other team members are not as familiar with PDSA
cycle and require additional training in this method. The team members prior to that had
not utilized the PDSA cycle or had limited training on QI implementation and
measurements. In addition, the team members who work in STD program work in other
personal health programs; this is because of staffing and time constraints. The advantage
of these perceived limitations is staff would take experience from this proposed project
and transfer their newly acquired QI knowledge and experience into other Personal
Health Programs.
F. The Impact of this Project on the Public Health of Allegan County
By implementing this project and increasing the amount of surveys returned,
programmatic changes can occur in the STD program to reach the target population in a
more effective manner. By tailoring the program’s visits, survey process, and
educational opportunities, the client might be more open to education and prevention. If
the client realizes and understands the importance of treatment, adhere to the treatment
plan, know the signs/symptoms of common STDs, and modify behaviors to decrease
transmission; then the outcome would be lower incidence of re-infections. This would
increase the efficiency of the program with a decrease in case-investigations. There
would be less incidence of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, possible abdominal adhesions,
urinary tract infections and many other illnesses that correlate with untreated STDs. The
reduction of these infections in Allegan County would lower health care expenses for the
individual or insurance companies involved. ACHD does not refuse STD services to
only those with the ability to pay. By implementing this QI project, the cost of unpaid
services could decrease. In summary, the efficiency of the program would increase and
more outreach would occur because there will be less time spent doing case
investigations. More outreach and education provides primary prevention and less actual
infections. The additional health care costs related to untreated STD infections, the
potential risk to unborn children would be reduced, and true population health would be
reinforced.

The Regional Trailers are pushing 10 to 15K and Yes Allegan's Prime Mover will need to be able to tow them as it's a
Regional Asset. If Allegan isn't going to allow Scott to be available to tow Regional Equipment then we have a
problem. We have found that 3/4 ton trucks are not working well.

Paul,
We are have some issues in Allegan on the Prime Mover purchase as to why we are asking for a one ton truck.
Medical trialers are 10,000 to 12,000+ lbs. Are other regional trailers more weight? And would Allegans prime mover
need to cover hauling those?

Scott, thank you for the information it is very helpful. A couple of follow up questions:
1. Where are each of the trailers located? See Below.
2. Which trailers exceed the towing capacity of the Emergency Management truck?
One of ours it very close to limits, but there are many regional trailer that will ,depending on the resource.
3. Fixed Asset management purposes what is the approximate value of each trailer and its contents? See below
4. I'm assuming that Allegan County is the owner of record. Yes, all but Red Cross

Subject:
Scott,
I spoke to David about the Prime Mover. He would like the following information:
What is a Prime mover and how is it used?
A prime mover identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency is assigned to deploy trailers. It will be used
only for the deployment of local, regional or state assets. There might come a time in which it would be deployed out
of state to support a large scale disaster/emergency if requested under MEMAC or EMAC. The vehicle will also
deploy assets in support training and exercise efforts.
Why is the Vehicle going to be stored in Plainwell?
This will be stored in Plainwell because they have on-call staff to respond, by activation through dispatch. Being stored
at Plainwell is strategically located for deployment and in addition they have space to house it indoors in a secure
Page 2 of 6
2/19/2010 1:40:17PM
Work Order
66469
location.
What will be the five year cost of the vehicle?
$225.00 per year for lube and oil changes totaling $1,125.00 over a 5 year period. This could be done cheater through
the ACSO Garage.
$500.00 tires ( 5th year)
$300.00 Annual Fuel Cost
Total estimated cost: $3,125.00
Why can't your vehicle be used as the Prime mover?
The EOC truck is used as a prime mover for most of Allegan County response trailers, however throughout the
regional there are very large trailers including some in our fleet that exceeds the maximum towing capacity of the
Allegan County EOC Truck. This makes our ability to move these assets safely especially under emergency
conditions, difficult terrain or inclement weather conditions. In addition to move these trailers in most cases multiple
trailers need to response simultaneously, because they support on another.
Specifically what trailers will be pulled with the Vehicle? How many trailers do we have in Allegan County for EM,? List
what each trailer is used for :
Allegan County (7)
Hazmat Trailer - Hazardous Materials Response - Decontamination and Containment
RACES Trailer - Communications
Red Cross Trailer - Mass Sheltering and Feeding
Mass Casualty Trailer - Medical Equipment
Light Trailer - Scene Light and Generator
RAD Trailer - Radiological Detection and Monitoring
CERT Trailer - Volunteer Management Resources
Regionally
Mobile Hospitals - 52 Bed Hospital
COW- Communications on Wheels
Portable Generators
What other trailers in the Region might we have to get with the vehicle?
I don't believe were slated for any additional trailers or equipment at this time other than a light trailer for Fennville Fire
Department. This could change based on on-going assessments being conducted by the Region and the strategic
placement of equipment.
Anything else you can think of that would help would be appreciated.
Because Holland City in both 5th District and 6th District is possible that will support them on their emergencies,
training and exercises. This benefits all Allegan County First Responders and NGO's.
Thanks Jim

ACU-1000
Interoperability NOW .
TM
TM
With a growing focus on protecting
our infrastructure, both domestic
and abroad, a coordinated command and control response has
become a top priority for governments around the world. From
homeland security to local public
safety, from mission critical military
applications to the latest commercial requirement, the Raytheon
JPS ACU interoperability technology offers a robust and proven communications solution for incident
command management.
BENEFITS
■ Backward compatibility with existing ACU-1000
units.
■ VoIP/RoIPTM Compatibility
■ Browser-based configuration
■ Network Connectivity
■ Enhanced Remote Control
■ Easier Setup
JPS’ signature product, the ACU-1000
Interconnect System has just gotten better.
Known for providing interoperability between
multiple radio systems operating on different
frequencies, the ACU can now seamlessly link
radios, SATCOM, cellular, WiFi and landline
phones directly and over IP networks to provide remote incident management. With the
addition of VoIP connectivity, the ACU-1000
provides many key enhancement features
including: easier setup and configuration,
expansion capabilities via network connectivity, and a more powerful operating system.
■ WAISTM Enabled
■ P-25 Compatible
To protect the investment of our existing customers, the enhanced ACU is completely backward compatible; the new modules are interchangeable with existing modules providing a
plug and play upgrade. This flexible design
offers a growth path for incorporating new
technologies while allowing users to select
their desired features.
ACU-1000 Intelligent Interconnect System
CAPABILITIES
For more than fifteen years
Raytheon JPS
Communications has developed technology to link
mobile radios, cell phones,
SATCOM, and regular phones
in a single real-time communication system. We are one
of the only suppliers to implement VoIP/RoIPTM interoperability systems in the U.S. and
other parts of the world.
Because of JPS’ systems,
police officers, firefighters,
EMS, security teams, government officials, and military
units are communicating
seamlessly and efficiently in
crisis situations. This makes
them more effective as first
responders and defenders of
homeland security.
JPS’ design experience, networking expertise and proven
technology allow our customers to implement an interoperability solution quickly
and affordably using existing
infrastructure and radio equipment. JPS offers a variety of
system configurations to meet
the demanding needs of first
responders. Transportable,
fixed site, mobile or wide
area, JPS can configure a system to meet your needs,
whether it’s nationwide,
statewide, metropolitan, or
rural. Primary application categories are:
■ ACU-1000:
All of JPS’ interoperability
products have a common
building block: the fieldproven, unsurpassed ACU1000 technology.
The ACU interfaces the
requsite RF, landline telephone, and mobile phones by
cross-connecting their respective baseband audio into the
ACU. By converting communications signals into
transmit/receive audio and its
accompanying control signals,
the ACU offers a rich set of
operational features and wide
scale adaptability with virtually
any audio device, existing,
new and future.
To further extend the capabilities of the ACU technology,
JPS has integrated its line of
VoIP/RoIPTM technology into
the ACU. The new available
modules packetize the communications channels and
transport them across a widearea IT backbone through the
use of VoIP/RoIPTM technology. This state-of-the-art technology provides the means for
regional, state, multi-state,
and national interoperability
systems to be linked together.
■ Local Interoperability
At a local level, first responders are responsible for
ensuring real time communication across multiple platforms with a moments notice.
They require an interoperable
communications system that
provides day-to-day insurance
along with meeting the
demands of large scale incident management. The ACU
technology meets this requirement by providing a fast, reliable and easy-to-use solution
that can be deployed to any
on-scene incident.
With increased functionality
added to the Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) and a more
simplified audio setup, first
responders can arrive on the
scene and within minutes
coordinate their response
efforts with the surrounding
agencies. This rapid deployment capability, paired with
the means for expansion,
makes the ACU-1000 the preferred interoperability solution
for local first responders.
■ Regional Interoperability
JPS recognizes that emergencies are never predictable, a
routine call can escalate at
any moment to a multi-county
or multi-state incident. An
interstate car chase, a forest
wildfire, or a widespread hurricane can simultaneously
affect multiple agencies in
multiple jurisdictions. During
these situations, a response
plan must be in place to protect citizens and first responders. To solve the most recognized problem plaguing incident command and control,
first responders rely on the
most frequently deployed
interoperable communications
solution - the ACU-1000.
The ACU-1000 has incorporated IP technology to accomplish a coordinated response
regardless of the geographical
and territorial boundries. The
added functionality of the integrated VoIP/RoIPTM features
allow an ACU-1000 to be
monitored and controlled
from a remote location, via an
Ethernet connection. The
easy-to-use WAIS Controller
software provides an user
interface to make and break
audio connections seamlessly
via a new or existing IP network.
■ National Interoperability
During times of national
emergencies resulting from
acts of coordinated terrorism
or other catastrophic events
such as large-scale natural
disasters, homeland security
officials should have the ability to communicate with and
control onsite first responders, local and federal law
enforcement, and other federal and state resources.
With the introduction of the
ACU enhancements, which
allow disparate radio systems
to be cross-connected and
routed over wide area networks, it is possible for federal agencies to remotely coordinate disaster response
efforts with multiple organizations without compromising
efficiency.
A coordinated response could
be easily performed from a
central, secure location using
real time networks that sufficiently cover the United States
as well as its territories and
key strategic interests
throughout the world.
■ Tactical:
For smaller, transportable
solutions, the ACU-T (Patent
Pending) has much of the
functionality of the ACU-1000
but in a smaller, more compact design.
This 8-pound portable unit
sets up in minutes, features
quick-lock tool-less connectors for each of its six interconnect modules. The LED
display provides an indication
of current connections on
each of the nets for simplified
communication management
in the field. Much like the
ACU-1000 interoperability
systems, the ACU-T can be
customized to include any
combination of radio and
phone modules and is fully
functional with VoIP/RoIPTM
technology. Unlike competitive
products, the ACU-T comes
standard with audio delay,
DTMF control, digital signal
processing and other features
such as multiple nets and a
flexible configuration.
The ACU-T provides all of the
features that are available with
the ACU-1000, but in a small
rugged package that is suitable for tactical or vehicular
use and rapid deployment. It
also provides drip-proof controls to ensure reliable operation in challenging environments, and features two DC
inputs, allowing operators to
quickly change batteries without a loss in power. Typical
applications for the ACU-T
range from everyday emergency response to more tactical applications such as
chemical spills, storm power
outages or any incident where
a fast, rugged interoperability
solution is needed. The ACU-T
also provides smaller organizations with a means to
affordably achieve interoperability without the complexity
of a larger system.
■ Fixed Site:
Applications requiring a comprehensive interoperability
Our most versatile configuration option, the TRP-1000 features an ACU-1000 with 12
audio devices packaged in a
ruggedized case that can be
easily deployed for on-scene
requirements.
■ Mobile:
JPS’ mobile kits feature a fully
self-contained interoperable
communication package that
can be integrated into virtually
any mobile platform, including
vans, buses, trailers, and
Humvees. Designed to aid
first responders in establishing effective incident command, these kits combine the
proven ACU-1000 with state
of the art cellular, radio, satellite, software and Internet
technology into a versatile
and easy to use package.
system in a permanent installation maybe best served in a
full-scale fixed site implementation.
Typically installed to achieve
regional interoperability, the
fixed site node, paired with
existing base stations and
high powered radios, provides
interoperability for a wider
coverage area. Due to this
dual chassis design, the fixed
site also has the capacity to
provide interconnect capability for up to 24 audio devices.
■ Transportable:
The JPS mobile communications kit is a new emergency
response paradigm developed
in conjunction with incident
command veterans. The MCK1000 is a first-on-the-scene
incident command suite
designed to solve extraordinary and ordinary emergency/command problems.
Easily integrated into any
mobile platform by any vehicle integrator, the mobile kits
provide the communications
interoperability needed to
effectively meet the demands
of on-scene incident management.
The TRP family offers superior versatility, fast installation,
and easy transportability to
remote locations around the
world.
This mobile configuration
offers three installation
options including the MCK1000, MMK-1000, and the
standard ACU-1000.
■ Wide Area Interoperability
System (WAIS):
Building on the industry standard radio interoperability
gateway, the JPS ACU-1000
Intelligent Interconnect
System, WAIS uses Voice
Over IP (VoIP/RoIPTM) technology to interconnect radio
users in widely separated
areas. From any point on the
network a user may configure,
control and monitor any of
the ACU-1000 units in the
system. Via this standard IP
network technology, JPS supports wide area communications requirements, including
intra-state, state-to-state, and
coast-to-coast interconnectivity and control.
Controlled by the JPS WAIS
Controller software, this configuration is designed to
seamlessly connect JPS interoperability systems over local
area networks (LAN), wide
area networks (WAN) or the
internet. This enables users
of JPS’ ACU-1000 interoperability modules to interconnect between other JPS modules to create WAIS networks
such as statewide interoperability systems.
WAIS Controller gives users
of local JPS interoperability
systems an opportunity to link
with other networks on
demand. Using existing infrastructures, including the
Internet, interoperable radio
signals can be connected
around the world, as if they
were right next door, without
incurring user fees.

U:\Grant Request-Local Projects\Projects ideas from Locals\Fennville - RAD Mobile Lighting Regional Project Request.doc
FROM: Brent VanOss, Deputy Fire Chief, Fennville Area Fire Department.
SUBJECT: Equipment request for radiological & disaster response.
Mr. Corbin,
The Fennville Area Fire Department would like to submit this request for your consideration.
We (fafd) have provided the congregate care response for the Palisades nuclear power plant for
approximately 20 years and in that time we have identified some limitation in our ability to
provide the most affective response in the event of a radiological release. The problem area on
the top of the list appears to be the lack of a light source to illuminate an area large enough to
support a large scale mass casualty or decontamination incident.
We (fafd) have research several options and the most cost effective and user friendly would be
the acquisition of a mobile light tower.
A 20 kW trailer mounted generator with a 30 foot light tower supporting 4 1000 watt metal
halide lights and a fuel capacity to provide 24 hours of continuous service before refueling. This
tool can provide illumination to a large area (5-7 acre’s) and still provide power for additional
equipment necessary to an incident.
The proposed project equipment and cost are as follows:
1 Magnum Light Tower- MLT 4200 IMH with equipment upgrades $16,375.00.
This includes all of the following: freight, setup, delivery, training, quick disconnect light cord,
electric mast winch, and galvanized mast.
This equipment will provide a much needed resource to all jurisdictions inside and outside
Allegan County for disasters natural or un-natural. The Fennville Area Fire Department is
committed to this project and if awarded will provide storage, care, and necessary
transportation of this unit to jurisdictions in need of this resource.
Thank you for your consideration

$64,400.00
Project #1 Regional Response Plan, Project
#13 Mass Medical Response
Utility Vehicle, Trailer and Tow Vehicle
This project has the potential to cross over many of the projects listed in our strategic plan.
This piece of equipment could provide the region with a tremendous amount of flexibility for
response. Details of this project follows….
After conducting a FSE this past summer it was determined getting access to the shore line
to remove victims, deploy public safety and equipment becomes difficult with traditional
Equipment. This could also support the region with damage assessment and Heighten Security
Alerts near critical infrastructure.
U:\Grant Request-Local Projects\Projects ideas from Locals\Graafscrap-ATV Regional Project Request.doc
PROJECT
This request for funding assistance would allow Graafschap Fire Department to purchase a UTV,
(off road utility vehicle) truck and trailer. This unit will be used for wild land / urban interface
fire suppression, off-road medical emergencies and search and rescue operations. This funding
assistance will also allow us to purchase a thermal imaging camera and an AED.
DESCRIPTION
The Graafschap Fire Department is seeking funds to purchase a UTV. This unit will be fully
equipped for wild land / urban interface firefighting and any type of off-road medical emergency
& search and rescue.
The UTV will be all wheel drive with tracks. A metal roof will be installed to keep hot embers
off the occupants. In the rear of the UTV will be a dual purpose skid unit. The skid unit will
consist of a water tank, foam system and 2 high volume electric water pumps. Integrated into the
unit will be EMS equipment consisting of stokes basket, backboard, oxygen and all other
medical supplies necessary for any off-road medical emergency. We will also be purchasing a
trailer to carry this unit safely to and from each incident. The trailer will also be used to carry
wild land firefighting equipment and also be equipped as a rehab/command trailer.
Because heart attacks are one of the leading causes of fire fighters deaths, and to also utilize at
medical emergencies, we would like to purchase an AED.
We would also like to take advantage of new technology and purchase a thermal imaging camera
for the UTV. This will assist us in locating hot spots helping to protect very expensive homes
along the lakeshore. A lot of these homes have dune grass growing right up next to the homes.
This camera will be invaluable in search and rescue operations. In the last 5 years we have had
30 calls alone to the Saugatuck Dunes State Park trails for lost or injured hikers.
FINANCIAL NEED
Over the last 7 years our residents have greatly supported us. We moved into a new station that
replaced a 50 yr. old facility, and we purchased a frontline engine. The payments on these two
purchases make up nearly 30% of our yearly budget, and will stretch out for the next 13 and 10
years respectively. Our area has had a population increase of 10% and a loss of state revenue
sharing by 20% over the last 5 years. These factors restrict us from making any additional large
purchases for the foreseeable future.
COST / BENEFIT
We believe the UTV Project is a well thought out and economical package. The UTV will
enhance our response capabilities during the winter months, and to the remote locations in our
area, mutual aid and throughout Region 5. We will get more people on scene safer and better
equipped to carry out the mission. The combination UTV with tracks, fire suppression / patient
transport skid, truck and trailer and equipment is going to be a package that not only makes us
more effective, but will also make us a safer fire department. It will also provide our citizens in
Region 5 with a community specific piece of equipment. Using the UTV on these calls will
reduce the maintenance cost associated with our aging fleet, freeing up funds for other things.
We have also included funds for training before this unit is put into service. The Graafschap Fire
Department will train, operate, insure and maintain the UTV. This unit will be available for fire
and law enforcement emergency incidents in Region 5.
STATEMENT OF EFFECT
Graafschap Fire Department covers six miles of eastern Lake Michigan shoreline. This area is
primarily sand dunes covered with beach grass and forest. Many homes have been built within
the dunes creating a very difficult wild land / urban interface situation. As proven on 07/08/07
when we had a fire that destroyed 40 acres of wild land and three homes totaling close to 6millon
dollars Until recently there has not been an economical vehicle on the market that had the power,
capacity, versatility and most importantly the safety features to access these areas. (Especially
during the winter months when all of our current off-road vehicles are useless in the snow). In
addition to the wild land / urban interface we cover The Saugatuck Dunes State Park a 1000 acre
preserve with no roads but miles of hiking trails. We have a total of 5 parks in our service area
1315 acres with 20 miles of trails. Laketown and Fillmore townships are primarily rural with
large areas not accessible with road vehicles. We also mutual aid with departments that cover the
Allegan State Game Area that is 50,000 acres, where fire fighters must walk in to most fires. As
of now we fight off road fires with two World War II era Jeep Wiley’s and a ¾ ton 1985 GMC
pickup truck with limited effect. The jeeps with the manual transmission and manual brakes are
very dangerous to drive on roadways with the added weight of the water tank. They are
unreliable causing a drain on our budget. The truck will be used primarily to tow the UTV trailer.
We currently run Off-road medicals with a 1997 Polaris quad and a converted lawn wagon for
patient transport. With the UTV we can put personnel in a Roll Over Protected System and seat
belted position. They will also be protected from hot embers and the elements, and the patient
and attendant will not get sprayed with sand or mud as they do now in the lawn wagon. The
tracks will assist with movement up and down the sand hills, through mud and expand our off
road capabilities in the winter when we can move like a snowmobile. We included in this request
a thermal imaging camera, with this we will be able to locate hot spots during fires and assist
locating persons during search and rescue operations. We would also like to outfit the UTV with
an AED because of the difficult terrain that hikers, hunters and fire fighters encounter on remote
fire scenes away from fast medical care. Our intent is to utilize this UTV to safely transport
personnel to remote locations better equipped to complete the mission, whether it is transporting
a patient or getting to the wild fires before they damage property.

Name of Project:
Radiological Prime Mover
$ 44,400.00
Nuclear Response Plan
This would be to purchase a prime mover
to move radiological detection, decontamination and communications equipment. This will be
stored at the Plainwell Department of Public Safety located near our radiological detection trailer
issued by the State of Michigan Emergency Management.
The radiological response equipment is used to support the Nuclear Power plants within the
region and throughout the state of Michigan.
U:\Grant Request-Local Projects\Projects ideas from Locals\Plainwell- RAD Prime Mover Regional Project Request.doc
Allegan County would like to apply for a prime mover on behalf of the Plainwell Department
of Public Safety (PDPS).
Plainwell Department of Public Safety is in close proximity to (two) Allegan County
Emergency Management (ACEM) response equipment trailers. This pickup would be housed
at the Plainwell Fire Department, 115 West Bridge St. and would be available for an on-call
response throughout the region to support a radiological emergencies or training exercise as
directed by Allegan County Emergency Management. Plainwell Office Public Safety offers to
house and maintain such equipment.

On this day, ____________________2009, the County of Allegan and the City of
Plainwell have entered into this Memorandum of Understanding.
This is an agreement between Allegan County via Emergency Management (primary
contact) and the City of Plainwell which states and permits Allegan County Emergency
Management to store an emergency response vehicle indoors at the Plainwell City Fire

agreement also acknowledges that Allegan County has insured the vehicle and all items
inside which belong to Allegan County that are being stored at such site, and will not
hold the City of Plainwell liable for any damages or theft that may occur. The City of
Plainwell will make proper arrangements for access to the site by Allegan County
Emergency Management personnel for training, maintenance, and emergency response
capabilities. If an emergency/disaster should occur which requires the use of said vehicle
Plainwell Department of Public Safety will allow access for an Allegan County
Emergency Management employee or volunteer who has prior approval by ACEM to
access said vehicle. Plainwell Department of Public Safety employees will assist in its
deployment and or transportation as directed by Plainwell Public Safety command staff
and as resources permit.
This memorandum of understanding will remain in effect for five (5) years or
__________________________until such time either party decides to withdraw from this
agreement in which both parties agree to notify the other in writing thirty (30) days in

Project Request
Lack of light source to illuminate an area large enough to support a
large-scale mass casualty or decontamination incident. The
acquisition of a mobile light tower. A 20 KW trailer mounted
generator with a 30 foot light tower supporting 4 – 1000 watt metal
halide lights and a fuel capacity to provide 24 hours of continuous
service before refueling.
This would allow Allegan County to link MaCom Radio 800 MHz

additional VHF and UHF radio systems.
Purchase 37 units to be distributed throughout the Region, for the
detection of dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide in the blood
stream of first responders.

Berrien County is comprised of 21 individual Police departments
with individual record keeping systems making systematic data
sharing difficult. Core Talon Technology would allow all law
enforcement agencies in Berrien County the infrastructure needed
to share pertinent information within and in neighboring counties.
A breakdown equipment/software needs are available at my office
if needed.
Install 8 computers in EOC, network with a printer, projector and
LCD enabling use of E-Team and other electronic
communications. Purchase MPSCS radios for regional
communications.
Purchase a Prime Mover vehicle and equipment (vhf/800/amateur

trailer previously purchased from homeland security and local
funds.
This project is designed to greatly enhance the inter-operational
communication with regards to Calhoun County Emergency
Management response vehicles. This is basic radio equipment to
provide adequate ability and communications.
Purchase of the TIER II Manger Software for all 9 counties where
TEIR II are reported. This allows all business reporting to do this
online directly to the state; local programs can download this
information for a copy.
By linking all 21 individual departments together utilizing
Core Technologies, Berrien County could then share this
information with the rest of the region and Fusion Centers.
This request would strengthen criminal and possible
security information around the critical infrastructures
located in and around Berrien County.

MSP 5th District Regional Dispatch will be closing this year.
As for critical infrastructure the region has two nuclear
power plants and an oil tank farm. A sustainable radio
system will be needed to support the MSP closure and for
critical infrastructure protection.
The Emergency Operation Center has expanded to the
point with technology and radios that it makes it difficult to
function when all radios are busy. Communications can
be lost when the noise level escalates. There is also a
lack of antennas for all radios to work at once.

Planners 30% Page 2 5th District Regional Homeland Security Strategy (RHSS) Description of the Region The majority of the Region is rural with Cattle, Dairy and Crops as the main resource. The Counties of Berrien and Van Buren have many fruit and vegetable growers and vineyards. Kalamazoo County is known for its Greenhouse Bedding Plant Industry, animal research industries and Metropolitan Areas. Allegan County leads in Cattle, Dairy and Poultry farms. Battle Creek in Calhoun County has Kellogg’s Cereal Company that uses grains to produce Breakfast Cereal’s and other products. The major business and industry in District 5 ranges from food processing, chemical production, medical research, drug manufacturing, and auto parts manufacturing. Some of the larger companies are Pfizer (Animal Research and Medical Drugs), Kellogg’s (Cereal), Eaton (Auto and Truck Parts), Hayworth (Office Furniture), Whirlpool (Appliances), and Transportation (Railroad, Trucking). The Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS) facilities in Region 5 are: Allegan 72, Barry 11, Berrien 117, Branch 32, Calhoun, Cass 30, Kalamazoo County 46, St. Joe 16, and Van Buren 64. These total 366 in the 5th District Region. There are two Nuclear Power Plants in Region 5. Berrien County has the Cook Nuclear Power Plant, located on Lake Michigan near Bridgman, MI. Van Buren County has the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant, near Covert, MI. The Region 5 counties of Branch, St. Joseph, Cass and Berrien border Indiana to the South. Dealing with issues of Mutual Aid Agreements, and communications between these bordering states and Indiana’s counties, is an ongoing process. To the West, Berrien, Van Buren and Allegan Counties border Lake Michigan which creates special needs to mitigate for those counties. Security issues with shipping and ports need to be planned for Homeland Security vulnerability. Large weather systems that develop and come inland from the Lake take Mitigation, Response and Recovery Planning on a year‐round basis. Environmental Issues such as pollution and erosion are a problem that needs to be addressed on a constant basis throughout the Region, and especially along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Pollution enters the Lake from the Cities and homes along the shore and also from the boats, ships and freighters that dump waste and ballast in the Lake. Large storms cause erosion from wave action. Section I: Vision, Purpose, Focus Areas A. Vision: Actively create a Regional blueprint addressing mitigation, prevention, protection, response and recovery efforts in every community. B. Purpose: Ensure our regional blueprint synchronizes our capabilities, program shortfalls, and objectives; focusing on an “all‐hazards” approach which includes natural, manmade, and terrorist events.

Ret. Col. Berri Meyers, Lansing, MI ‐ Senior Homeland Security Planner – MSP Lt. Barry Reber, Paw Paw, MI ‐ Emergency Management 5th District Coordinator – MSP Disciplines Facilitators E. Effort The Board of Commissioners of each County has appointed a Regional Planning Task Force (PTF) to deal with Homeland Security issues. The PTF consists of a Chair, Vice Chair, four Regional Planners, and the Regional Planner Coordinator. The Regional Planning Task Force draws on the expertise from the PTF’s and other representatives of multi‐disciplined and multi‐agency/jurisdictional regional subject matter experts personnel to serve on its committees. This Task Force has reviewed the Regional Targeted Capabilities, set Goals and developed a Scenario based Strategic Plan for the 5th District Region. Members met bi‐monthly, over a three month period, on the design of each Scenario. These members contributed to the development of this plan by identifying the goals, objectives, and implementations which would generate the Scenario’s success. Each of these members worked diligently to ensure each of the Scenario’s was completed on time. The roster of those who have contributed to this plan is listed on Annex E.
F. Descriptions of Jurisdictions within Region Regional District 5 consists of nine counties in the Southwest corner of the State of Michigan. The counties of Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, Van Buren, City of Battle Creek and 5th District Medical Coalition are voting members. There are 37 Major Cities and Towns of 1,500 and up in 5th District. The County Seats are Allegan (Allegan County), Hastings (Barry County), St. Joseph (Berrien County), Coldwater (Branch County), Battle Creek (Calhoun County), Cassopolis (Cass County), Kalamazoo (Kalamazoo County), Centerville (St. Joseph County), Paw Paw (VanBuren County). The total 2008 estimated population of the 5th District is 949,063. The larger Cities in the Region are Kalamazoo with a population of 72,700, Battle Creek with 53,364, and Portage with 45,277. Other large cities are Holland, Allegan, Benton Harbor, Coldwater, Hastings, Niles, St. Joseph, South Haven and Three Rivers. Page 4 G. Mutual Aid Agreements within Region The 5th District has mutual‐aid agreement between the above stated jurisdictions. This agreement has allowed for administrative support. Over the past few years, these jurisdictions have since obtained response equipment which could be deployed in support of a large scale emergency or disaster. The 5th District Regional Planning Board has adopted a mutual aid agreement September 27, 2007. Section II Goals, Objectives & Implementation Steps 1.

The RHSPB is responsible to advice and report this RHSS status and progress to the Michigan Homeland Security Protection Board (HSPD), or their designated representative, as requested. RHSS Objectives will be achieved more quickly than RHSS Goals and are measured separately. The RHSPB will determine when all Objectives are achieved for any Goal. Continuous and proactive monitoring of RHSS Objectives will allow the identification of Goal achievement and illuminate necessary resource adjustments (Planning, Organizing, Equipping, Training and Exercising). A balanced and comprehensive Evaluation Plan will consist of: • A performance metric will be developed for each RHSS Objective to monitor progress towards the stated Objective. • Performance Metrics will be updated at least every four months. Upon review of each performance metric additional information will be added if delayed, stalled, referred to sub‐committee, etc. • All Homeland Security exercise results will be discussed in RHSPB meetings and these results will be blended into RHSS Objective metric assessments. Written After‐Action Reports, for all Homeland Security exercises within the Region, will contain demonstrated performance results and will be included in RHSPB meeting minutes. • RHSPB meetings will include a mandatory review of all RHSS Objectives to determine progress, resource adequacy and Goal achievement. The status of this review will be included in RHSPB minutes. This review will identify each RHSS Objective by number. The RHSPB will review the completeness and progress of this RHSS annually (during the month of January) and advise the Michigan HSPD, or their designated representative, immediately upon completion of this review. This annual review will include a review of all RHSS Objective performance metrics to ensure the correct measures are being used to determine preparedness status. The RHSPB may revise this RHSS as dictated by annual review and monitoring of RHSS Objectives. Close and continuous management of performance metrics will lead to resource, training and exercise adjustments in the most effective and responsive manner.

Scenario reviewed and approved by the 5th District Regional Planning Task Force Members. Signed by: Project Chair Scott Corbin – Allegan County Emergency Management Signature Date Page 10 Section I ‐ Scenario Overview: Hostile Action at a Nuclear Power Plant General Description – In this scenario, members of a terrorist cell plan to attack a nuclear power plant (NPP) by both land and water assaults. Their goal is to take control of, or at least damage sufficiently to cause an uncontrolled release of radiation into the environment. A diversionary attack is planned on a large gasoline and petroleum distribution point for the state to divert needed resources and attention away from the NPP. Detailed Attack Scenario – Over the past 6 months, there have been several non‐specific threats received to the electrical distribution system in the country. These threats have been investigated, but could not be substantiated. The local police in a neighboring county have received sporadic reports of small explosions near a farm, but no additional leads were ever developed. Members of this terrorist cell have purchased 2 mini‐vans and a used fuel delivery truck. They painted the fuel delivery truck to indicate that it belongs to a local fuel delivery service. The cell has stolen four shallow draft 4‐6 person boats and trailers from other counties. They have acquired various types of small arms weapons and have spent several years slowly acquiring a large quantity of prilled ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) to build several improvised explosive devises (IED) including a large vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED). They have been able to collect and store this material at a safe house located in a rural area in a neighboring county. There had been several instances of a low flying single engine aircraft near the NPP in the past year. Along with this, there have been several reports of a small boat seen just outside of the NPP boundary taking photographs. In both of these cases, the identity of the individuals or the reasons for their actions has not been determined. A message has been received by the terrorist cell indicating the date and time of the attack. A dry run of the route for the fuel deliver truck for the diversionary attack and the 4 boats and 2 mini‐vans to the NPP is made during Monday morning traffic to ensure the timing of the attack. At 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning, the IED is loaded into the fuel delivery truck and will be driven by a suicide bomber. The device is set with three ignition circuits; a manually activated detonator to be carried by the driver, a timer set to go off at 9:15 a.m. and a booby trap set to go off should anyone try to open the container holding the IED. The terrorists on the four boats used a local river’s access point to embark and enter into Lake Michigan. The 2 teams in the mini‐vans leave the safe house and are in route to the NPP. Each team is equipped with small arms weapons and several IEDs. By 08:50 a.m. the four boats and crews are waiting a short distance away from the NPP. The teams in the 2 mini‐vans are waiting in the area surrounding the NPP. At 9:00 a.m. the fuel delivery truck enters a gasoline loading dock of the large gasoline and petroleum distribution point for the state. The VBIED is detonated causing a large primary and several secondary explosions. This destroys the gasoline loading dock and damages several oil and gasoline pipelines. The explosions start several fires and breaches several fuel and oil storage tanks. At 9:15 a.m. as the response continues to this attack, the four boats make their way onto the beach as the 2 ground teams simultaneously begin their assault on the NPP. They make their way onto the NPP property and are met by the plant’s security forces. Off‐site LE is requested to assist. Prior to LE arrival, the plant’s security forces are able to stop the attack and neutralize the terrorists but not before several IEDs are detonated causing damage to their infrastructure. Plant security and LE are initially unable to account for all of the terrorists. The attack did not cause an immediate release of radiation. However, damage from the attack causes cascading events which results in a probable uncontrolled release of radiation into the environment unless sufficient repairs are made and any potential release stopped. This will require all off‐site radiological emergency preparedness response procedures to be initiated. Section II ‐ Planning Considerations: Geographic Considerations/Description – The gasoline and petroleum distribution point is surrounded by a business district and residential properties along with several special needs populations including a school. The main scenario identifies an attack on a civilian electrical generating NPP. The topography around the plant consists of a combination of dunes and forested land on three sides and Lake Michigan on the forth. The contamination region would include a business district, a water treatment facility, residential housing, crowded shopping areas, nursing homes, several schools and numerous agricultural farms and several livestock and poultry farms. Variable winds of 5 to 15 miles per hour would carry the radioactive particles throughout areas in the 5 mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the NPP. Complex rural wind patterns coming off of Lake Michigan could carry the Page 11 contamination in unpredictable directions, leaving highly variable contamination deposition with numerous hot spots created by shifting wind patterns. Radioactivity concentrations in several of these zones would most likely be well above the State’s allowable exposure limit. In any contaminated areas, vehicular traffic after the initial release, would re‐suspend and transfer contamination hours afterward until the initial contamination area could be effectively controlled and cordoned. This would lead to additional contamination spread beyond the 5 mile EPZ into the 10 EPZ. People in the deposition zone would also take contamination home with them in their hair and clothing. Timeline/Event Dynamics – The two separate attacks have no advance notice or intelligence that indicates their possibility. The simultaneous multiple prong attack at the NPP is well coordinated following the diversionary attack on the large gasoline and petroleum distribution point. This initial attack is not immediately recognized as terrorism, thus other critical infrastructure sites are not placed on alert. The probable release of radiation into the environment could occur following the attack due to damage sustained at the plant. This will require all off‐site emergency response procedures to be put in place. Meteorological Conditions – There is no precipitation. There are light, variable winds of 5 to 15 miles per hour, out of the west.. The temperature is 65º Fahrenheit (F). Assumptions – •

As a result of this probable release, radioactive particles would be carried by winds away from the plant into the 5 mile EPZ. The particles fall to the ground as the plume dissipates moving farther from the plant contaminating the ground and vegetation, open water sources, and structures. The entry point of the fuel loading area through which the VBIED was driven is not designed or staffed to verify driver credentials or fuel loading orders. The acquisition of bomb‐making materials does not draw the attention of law enforcement. There is no sharing of information from county to county regarding the stolen boats, reports of small explosions near a farm, or of the several instances of apparent intelligence gathering at the NPP. Initial responders will be quickly overwhelmed and will require outside assistance to mitigate both scenes and to provide protective measures to the public. This includes establishing security at various centers and access control points around both incident sites. Fire resources will be insufficient to extinguish several large fires and to perform rescue operations at the gasoline and petroleum distribution site along with providing fire protection services at the NPP. There will be a need for additional fire service personnel and equipment to respond to the NPP. Additional resources will also be needed to establish Public Reception and Decontamination Centers and Emergency Worker Centers and to assist with evacuations including special needs populations. EMS resources will be limited due to the number of injuries at the initial site and their ability to triage and transport potentially contaminated victims from the NPP. The normal assistance for services from the general public (i.e., police, fire, EMS) will still be needed and most likely increase due to the evacuations. Mission Areas Activated – Prevention and Deterrence: Prevention efforts should include such law enforcement goals as sharing of criminal investigative information, detection of the plot, review of security measures at both sites, protection and deterrence measures taken at the sites before and during the attack. The gasoline and petroleum distribution point is not equipped with explosives detection equipment or systems to verify the identity of fuel delivery drivers coming on site. Emergency Assessment/Diagnosis: The explosion at the gasoline and petroleum distribution site would not be immediately recognized as a terrorist attack until responding units arrive and were able to determine the cause of the truck explosion. This would lead to a delay in notification to other critical infrastructure sites and the raising of the Homeland Security Advisory System’s threat levels and would not have been discovered before the primary target was attacked. The attack on one NPP will have rippling effects on the rest of the industry causing other NPPs to institute additional security measures which will place a strain on existing LE resources and their availability for other activities. The Homeland Security Advisory System’s Threat Level will most likely be increased to Red at the State level and most probably at the Page 12 Federal level requiring Federal, State, and local jurisdictions to institute additional security measures around their own critical infrastructure sites limiting available resources to assist with this response. The release of radioactive particles would be a significant hazard and could cause extended local and regional disruption. Actions of incident‐site and Emergency Operation Center (EOC)/Joint Field Office (JFO) personnel tested during and after the attack include (1) providing personnel dispatch and accountability; (2) assessing the extent of physical damage, including assessments of the gasoline and petroleum delivery system and containment capabilities of the NPP; (3) assessing medical response needs; (4) providing personal protective equipment for the responders of the NPP attack; (5) establishing and preserving the sites for crime scene analysis; (6) collecting site data and information; (7) making hazard assessments and predictions for responders and the public; (8) coordinating preliminary radiation monitoring, surveying, and sampling operations; (9) providing trained personnel to staff Public Reception and Decontamination Centers and Emergency Worker Centers; (10) providing accurate and timely information and direction to the public; (11) ensuring an orderly evacuation from and providing security for the affected areas; and (12) identifying additional first responder resources (LE, FD, EMS) to keep in reserve. Emergency Management/Response: The 2 incidents result in 20 fatalities, 65 injuries, extensive environmental contamination, evacuation of thousands of individuals, and thousands of potentially exposed individuals in the downwind zone. Actions of EOC/JFO personnel required after the attack include (1) mobilizing and operating incident command; (2) overseeing victim triage; (3) stabilizing the sites; (4) cordoning the sites and managing and controlling the perimeters; (5) providing notification and activation of special teams; (6) providing traffic and access control; (7) providing protection of at‐risk and special populations; (8) providing resource support and requests for assistance; (9) providing public works coordination; (10) providing direction and control of critical infrastructure mitigation; (11) providing public information, outreach, and communication activities; (12) resolving the problems associated with evacuated citizens whether planned or spontaneous; and (13) the 911 system being overtaxed and rendered non‐functional due to the onslaught of 911 calls either requesting assistance, reporting what had occurred, or requesting information on what had occurred. Because first‐responder assets (e.g., LE, FD, and EMS personnel) were promptly dispatched to the initial petroleum distribution site along with mutual aid resources to assist, the NPP site is requesting additional outside response assets as other responders are needed to establish access control points and staff various shelters and centers after the attack on the NPP. Hazard Mitigation: Actions of incident‐site personnel required include (1) securing both incident scenes and defining the hazard areas, (2) building stabilization around the gasoline and petroleum distribution point, (3) containment of the gasoline and oil released (4) providing fire suppression at both locations, (5) conducting debris management, (6) preparing for radioactive and hazardous contamination mitigation, (7) planning for the decontamination of responders and equipment, (8) conducting local site contamination control, (9) planning for the decontamination of local citizens, and (10) identification of the 50‐mile exclusionary zone around the NPP. Evacuation/Shelter: Sheltering and/or evacuation of downwind populations will be required around the NPP and possibly around the gasoline and petroleum site. This must occur promptly and in an orderly fashion, but may not be completed around the NPP before the radioactive plume might be released. Actions taken by local EOC/JFO personnel performed after the attacks include (1) developing protective action recommendations and communicating them to the public (e.g., to evacuate the affected area and/or shelter‐in‐place and self‐decontamination, as appropriate for the site); (2) providing management of evacuation, whether ordered or spontaneous; (3) protecting special populations, hospital, schools, and day care centers; (4) establishing temporary sheltering alternatives and provision of basic necessities for evacuees; and (5) offering veterinary services for pets. Victim Care: Injured responders at the NPP may require some decontamination in the course of medical treatment prior to hospital admission. Thousands more may need superficial decontamination, and both short‐term and long‐term medical follow‐ups. Actions of incident site, local area, hospital, and EOC/JFO personnel tested after the attacks include (1) conducting search and rescue; (2) providing triage, emergency aid, treatment, and stabilization; (3) decontaminating victims (ambulatory and non‐ambulatory); (4) establishing relief stations, decontamination centers, and site access portals; (5) preparing to screen, monitor, and decontaminate evacuees (numbers are expected to be up to 80,000); (6) conducting victim/evacuee data and information collection and management; (7) making radio‐protective pharmaceutical decisions and efficiently providing protective and/or therapeutic drug administration; (8) conducting patient status tracking and reporting; (9) providing patient transport; (10) treating emergency room (ER) walk‐in contamination victims; (11) providing hospital care; (12) Page 13 providing collection, decontamination, and cataloging of human remains and personal effects; and (13) providing next‐of‐
kin notification. Investigation/Apprehension: Actions of law enforcement personnel tested after the attacks include (1) dispatching and accounting for personnel, (2) conducting site cordoning and control, (3) collecting field data, (4) conducting witness interviews, and (5) performing tactical deployment and apprehension of suspects. Recovery/Remediation: Decontamination/Cleanup: The extent of contamination would be a major challenge due to the prevailing winds, vehicle traffic and response personnel in the area. An approximate 5 mile radius from the NPP could be contaminated to varying degrees with areas of limited contamination in the 10 mile radius. Contamination would settle on streets, sidewalks, building surfaces, farmland and crops. Building interiors would become contaminated due to ventilation systems, doors, windows (because negative building pressure can draw contaminated particles in through very small openings), and foot traffic. Personal property – including vehicles and items inside buildings – would also become contaminated, but many items can be adequately decontaminated for free release. The extent of damage to the gasoline and petroleum distribution point will be difficult to determine until the clean up of the hazardous materials are complete allowing repair crews to inspect the damage. Distribution lines (gasoline and oil) will need to be repaired along with several fuel and oil storage tanks. The residential and business structures around the site may need to be repaired or demolished. Site Restoration: Several buildings (those most damaged) will be torn down and eventually rebuilt around the gasoline and petroleum site. Decontamination activities around the NPP would be undertaken for ground and farmland, building exteriors and interiors, streets, sidewalks, and other areas. Federal, State, and local officials and stakeholders hold numerous public meetings to evaluate current and future land use goals, dose/risk goals for the site, and the possible use of institutional controls if decontamination is unsatisfactory. Economic and tax incentives may need to be instituted, and Federal, State, and local governments might start a “save our city” campaign to build community support to reclaim and revitalize the area. (A heated debate is likely to ensue in public meetings and the press over the adequacy of site restoration goals and the resultant risks to the public, presenting major communication and negotiation challenges to local, State, and Federal officials.) Section III ‐ Implications Secondary Hazards – Small fires from ruptured gas and oil lines occur in the vicinity of the blasts at the gasoline and petroleum distribution point. An uncontrolled release of gas and oil is in progress from the damaged pipelines and tanks. Unstable building facades, rubble, and broken glass create physical hazards for rescue workers. Airborne contaminates are a concern for responders and the public. Human remains present a biohazard, and there is a possibility of secondary devices or additional explosions from the leaking transmission lines or ruptured tanks. There is a concern for secondary devices and booby traps on the captured/deceased terrorists at the NPP site. Other hazardous chemicals are present on site and pose a risk to responders. Human remains present a biohazard, and some of these may be contaminated. Special Populations require emergency responders to assist in evacuations and special health care needs and supplies. Evacuation sites for these populations will need supplies and professional staff to care for their various needs. Special Needs Population Plans will need to be implemented across the region to evacuate, shelter, and provide special professional care. Those with acute health issues will need to be provided equipment, medicines, and specific health care according to their needs. Issues with the farm and domestic animals need to be addressed. Animal handlers, animal transport, and animal shelter personnel and facilities put into service to evacuate and care for these animals. If shelter in place is possible, the feeding and care of the animals need to be addressed. Fatalities / Injuries – At the initial site, the blast results in 15 fatalities and about 30 injured requiring medical care. The attack at the NPP site resulted in 5 fatalities and about 35 injured requiring medical evacuation and treatment. In addition, up to 10,000 individuals in the 5 mile EPZ have the potential to have detectable superficial radioactive contamination. Thousands of people located downwind could have minor contamination and would require monitoring and medical surveillance. Page 14 Property Damage – In the initial attack, the main gasoline terminal, gasoline and oil storage tanks are destroyed (i.e., not salvageable), and several pipelines and other terminals suffer varying degrees of structural damage. The NPP attack results in the probable radioactive contamination at varying levels deposited on agricultural and farm land as well as inside of buildings, building exteriors, streets, sidewalks, people, and personal property over the 5 mile EPZ. Minor contamination may be an issue further downwind into the 10 mile EPZ as investigators perform more thorough surveys. Over the long term, decontamination efforts would be expected to be effective, but some property owners choose demolition and rebuilding. Many farms will be unavailable to grow or produce for several years until remediation is completed. Service Disruption – Transportation is severely hampered around the gasoline and petroleum distribution point and the NPP. Ground and air transport routes around the NPP are altered, and officials build highway checkpoints to monitor incoming traffic for potential contamination and upgraded security measures. The entire contaminated zone would be closed to all traffic for an extended period (though peripheral areas and some thoroughfares are opened within several weeks for limited use). Hospitals in the area, already at maximum capacity with injuries from both attacks, are inundated with up to 10,000 “worried well,” most of whom were not in the initial attack or potential release pathway but are concerned about health issues (despite special relief stations established by the incident command for contamination monitoring and public outreach). The local sewage treatment plant would be quickly contaminated as a result of people showering and decontaminating personal effects. In the 5 mile EPZ surrounding the NPP, several businesses and numerous farms would be closed for an extended duration while radioactive contamination is remediated. Local tax revenues plummet, as business are closed due to the evacuation. The schools in the contamination zones would be closed and students meet in alternate locations. Nearby towns and cities close their doors to residents of the impacted areas for fear of the spread of contamination. If one of the events occurred near a border, there would be a need for intense communication and cooperation between the two border governments. The attack on the NPP causes other NPPs in the country to either go off line or severely increase their security procedures to remain in service. This causes a strain on the electrical distribution system nationwide. Economic Impact – This gasoline and petroleum distribution point brings up to 70% of the fuel into the state. The loss of the gasoline and petroleum distribution point for the state will cause a major decrease in supplies and a sharp increase in the cost of these fuels until the pipelines, tanks and depots can be repaired. Although technologies exist to decontaminate areas, these technologies were designed for smaller, isolated areas, and the process may take some time. Decontamination, destruction, disposal, and replacement of lost infrastructure will be costly (i.e., hundreds of millions of dollars). Economic losses in the area due to lost business productivity, tax revenue, and property will be significant. The entire contaminated area may be economically depressed for years. Additionally, an overall national economic downturn may occur in the wake of the attack due to a loss of consumer confidence. The NP industry in the county will require a massive restructuring to protect their facilities from any type of future attack. Some residents will show no signs of willingness to resettle their former domiciles. Schools may permanently relocate. Some businesses may relocate to an unaffected zone, or another city/county altogether. The 10 mile area around a NPP may become undesirable land due to the perceived risk of either working or living in an EPZ around a NPP. Long‐term Health Issues – Summary •
•
•
•
No one will suffer acute radiation syndrome. Approximately 15,000 individuals living in the 10 mile EPZ could become externally contaminated. Low‐level contamination may enter food and water supplies, and may be consumed at projected doses below EPA Protective Action Recommendations. The sum of the cumulative exposures results in an increased lifetime cancer risk proportionate to the dose. All potentially exposed individuals could require additional monitoring for health concerns. Many individuals, including those close to, but not within, the affected area may require mental health counseling. First responders make up a unique group often in need of mental health services.

Signed by: Project Chair Scott Corbin – Allegan County Emergency Management Signature Date Page 16 Section I ‐ Scenario Overview: Severe Weather Incident General Description The National Weather Service issues a winter storm watch on Thursday morning stating that a strong low pressure system may cause severe weather and possible ice storm in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan. This is followed by a ice storm changing to heavy snow warning, issued late Friday afternoon by the National Weather Service, covering an area from Northern Indiana up through the Central Michigan region. Freezing rain is expected, producing a significant and possibly damaging accumulation of ice. Up to or over than an inch of ice is expected to accumulate in the area. Power lines and trees may be damaged, and travel may become extremely hazardous. Temperatures will fall from 34 degrees down to 26 degrees with the freezing rain changing to heavy snow. High winds between 35 and 50 mph are also expected as the storm passes through. Saturday morning starting at 8:00am, freezing rain begins and continues though Saturday with totals of 1” to 1 ½“ across the Northern most counties of Indiana and Southwest Michigan. Starting late Saturday night freezing rain changes to snow, accumulating 10” to 12” over Southwest Michigan, crippling travel within the state. Sustained High winds of 30 to 35 mph continue, gusting to 55 mph, with blizzard conditions experienced throughout the southwest region. Following the late season ice storm and blizzard, another low pressure system brings torrential down‐pours that plague the area over the next few days. Ground water is now at the highest it has been in 28 years. The rain, followed by the rapid snow melt, has swollen rivers and streams, straining hydro electric dams throughout the 5th District. As the rains continue to fall and the rivers and streams rise, hydro electric dams in the eastern part of the 5th District begin to fail, thus taxing all available local and regional resources due to a high rate of water rushing downstream quickly. All aspects of life are at risk including human health and safety, agricultural health and safety, in conjunction with the loss of life and power throughout the region. Freezing rain is liquid rain that falls when surface temperatures are at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The rain freezes upon impact with objects and the ground creating a layer of ice. When the layer of ice accumulates to at least one half inch thick the weight of the ice can down tree limbs, power lines and communication towers as well as cause widespread impact to mass transit. This defines an ice storm. However, it must be noted that only a trace of freezing rain can product a glaze over roads, which can cause significant impact to mass transit: especially if it occurs during rush hour. (Source: NWS). Dam failures are of particular concern because the failure of a large dam has the potential to cause more death and destruction than the failure of any other man‐made structure. This is because of the destructive power of the flood wave that would be released by the sudden collapse of a large dam. One of the most common causes of dam failures is the overtopping of embankment dams due to inadequate spillway discharge capacity to pass flood waters. This is one of the most common causes of dam failures and has nothing to do with the geology of the dam site. Any embankment dam will fail if the spillway is too small and flood waters rise high enough to flow over the top of the dam wall. The estimation of the size of the maximum flood a dam will have to survive during its life is a science which has undergone continuing evolution over the last century with the result that many dams built decades ago may now be judged to have inadequate spillways even though the spillways were designed to standards of safety which were accepted as adequate at the time of construction of the dam. (Source: DNR) Section II – Planning Considerations Geographical Area The majority of the 5th District region is rural, with cattle, dairy and crops as the main resource. The counties of Berrien and Van Buren have many fruit and vegetable growers and vineyards. Kalamazoo County is known for its greenhouse bedding plant industry, animal research industries, and metropolitan areas. Allegan County leads in cattle, dairy and poultry farms. The City of Battle Creek in Calhoun County has Kellogg’s Cereal Company that uses grains to produce breakfast cereals and other food products. Time Frame/Event Dynamics Ice Storm Warning issued on an early spring Friday evening for southwest Michigan, followed by a snow event which begins on a Saturday night and continues for two days, dumping 10” to 12” on southwest Michigan. This freezing rain/snow event is immediately followed by a rapid warm spell, with torrential downpours for three days. Saturday – Beginning at about 8:00am an ice storm pummels area throughout the day. By nightfall, one inch of ice blankets the region, with up to an inch and a half total in some of the communities. Winds pick up to sustained 30 to 35 mph and Page 17 gusting to 50 mph. Many trees, limbs and power lines are down. Some power transmission line towers have collapsed under the weight of the ice. Power outages are widespread throughout the region. Sunday – By Sunday morning, temperatures drop and the freezing rain has changed over to snow, quickly blanketing ice‐
covered areas. High winds continue with drifts building up to 3 feet by Sunday midnight. Monday – thirteen inches of snowfall by 4:00am. Major roads are passable but becoming treacherous. Drifted snow and low visibility from blowing snow is causing many accidents and multiple car pile‐ups on I‐96 near Benton Harbor. Tuesday – Another one to five inches of snow has fallen on the region. Winds of 35 mph, gusting to 50 mph continue. Local governments are requesting citizens stay home and off roads except for cases of emergency. Wednesday – Temperature rises 34 degrees during the morning hours. Snow turns to rain. Low‐lying areas start to show signs of potential flooding. Farms start moving livestock to higher ground. Residents along rivers and streams are advised to prepare for possible evacuation. The heavy snow on roofs is becoming saturated from the rain and some flat roofs are collapsing. Thursday – Heavy rains continue. Moderate flooding experienced throughout the region. Dam failure is a potential and residents and farmers are urged to take proactive measures to protect infrastructure and their livestock. Power is out and businesses are impacted. Hospitals are preparing for a catastrophic flood event. Friday – Torrential rains continue through the end of the day. Dams begin to fail and dam failure is imminent. Residents are urged to evacuate and taxes all resources within the 5th district. Meteorological Conditions As a strong low pressure weather system comes from the south, temperatures rise to 33 degrees with a large amount of precipitation with it that brings rain changing to freezing rain. Winds pick up to 35 mph. Behind the low pressure system, temperatures drop to 18 degrees and high winds continue, gusting to 55 mph. The freezing rain changes over to heavy snow with total accumulations to a foot of snow in the region, with low visibility and drifting over the next 48 hours. As this system passes by temperatures rise to 34 degrees and snow changes to torrential rainfall totaling up to 5” over the next three days. Rapid snow melt will happen with nearly all snow gone by the end of the storm. Assumptions Responders throughout the region will be quickly overwhelmed, and will require assistance outside of the region. Ice conditions, fallen trees, downed power lines, etc. will create hazards that make it difficult (if not impossible) for responders to get to citizens in need of assistance. EMS resources will be limited due to the number of citizens requiring assistance, and their ability to triage and transport patients will be strained. The Special Populations will need specialize supplies and professional care according to what issues are involved. These may range from elderly, mentally impaired, physically impaired, inmates, etc. The normal assistance for services from the general public (i.e. police, fire, EMS) will still be needed and will most likely increase due to the flooding evacuations. Mission Areas Activated Protection As a result of Friday’s National Weather Service (NWS) Ice Storm Warning, 5th District Emergency Managers will call for a conference with the EOC Executive Group to discuss plans for a partial activation. As new information is received, decisions will be made as to the extent of EOC operations that will be needed. Public information will be conducted through a regional Joint Information Center (JIC). As the storm develops, EOC staff will coordinate efforts between responding agencies. The Red Cross will begin to set up shelters and evacuation points, contacting all volunteer organizations to assist. 5th District RACES groups will set up communications with a regional reporting headquarters. Special Needs Population Plans will need to be implemented across the region to evacuate, shelter, and provide special professional care. Those with acute health issues will need to be provided equipment, medicines, and specific health care according to their needs. Issues with the farm and domestic animals need to be addressed. Animal handlers, animal transport, and animal shelter personnel and facilities put into service to evacuate and care for these animals. If shelter in place is possible, the feeding and care of the animals need to be addressed. Page 18 Response All public services will be put on high alert and respond with equipment for clearing and de‐icing roads. Law Enforcement will respond only to critical incidents, using all wheel drive vehicles if available. Fire Services will man stations with as many personnel as available, again only responding to emergency incidents. EMS will station units at various locations to respond as needed. Hospitals will prepare Emergency Departments for influxes of victims. Recovery Emergency Management will coordinate recovery efforts, contacting private services to assist Road Commissions and DPW’s in debris removal. Mutual Aid agreements will be activated to assist agencies unable to respond to storm‐damaged areas. Contamination and cleanup would be a major challenge due to the flooding, vehicle traffic accidents in the area, and wind/ice damage on trees, power lines and buildings. Many of the farms, homes and business along the Kalamazoo River basin could be contaminated to varying degrees, with areas of limited contamination in the other flooded areas from PCB’s, fuels, septic waste and chemical contamination that would settle on streets, sidewalks, building surfaces, farmland and crops. Building interiors would become contaminated due to ventilation systems, doors, windows and foot traffic. Personal property – including vehicles and items inside buildings – would also become contaminated. The extent of damage to the gasoline and petroleum distribution facilities will be difficult to determine until the clean‐up of the hazardous materials are complete and repair crews can inspect the damage. Distribution lines (gasoline and oil) will need to be inspected and repaired along with several fuel and oil storage tanks. The residential and business structures around the site may need to be repaired or demolished. Power grids will need repair and inspection before being put back into service. Mitigation Early warning systems, continuity of operations plans, emergency phone trees, and response equipment should be reviewed and updated as appropriate. Stand‐by generators should be installed at critical facilities including those serving at‐risk communities such as nursing homes, assisted living and persons relying on oxygen. A regional emergency plan developed for special populations should be developed for EOC’s for each facility with information to include staff contact lists, type of residents/health conditions served, total number of residents, type of building construction, proximity to hazardous zones, continuity of operations plan, evacuation plans, and roster of employees, residents and family members. Additionally, most gas stations have no backup power which could result in an immediate shortage of fuel for emergency vehicles, home generators, and power equipment. A plan and policy needs to be developed to mitigate this issue. Section III ‐ Implications Secondary Hazards The ice storm has taken down power lines throughout the region with at least 80% and in some counties 100% without power. Only Branch and Calhoun Counties have lesser damage with 10 % to 30% without power. The ice has also taken down many trees and limbs which are blocking many of the roads in the region. A main power transmission line tower North of Plainwell has collapsed from the ice. Three main power line towers collapsed from the Cook Nuclear Plant because of ice buildup and winds. The power lines from Palisades Nuclear Plant are in danger of collapse and power has been cut. The heavy snowfall has blocked roads with many shut down from vehicle accidents. These accidents are difficult to reach for emergency responders because of the conditions. The I‐94 Interstate has been closed from New Buffalo to Watervliet due to drifted snow and low visibility. A 52 car, semi‐truck pile‐up has occurred just west of the I‐94 / US31 interchange on I‐94. Dairy farms in areas that roads are blocked cannot get milk trucks in to pick up and have to dump the milk as storage is at capacity. The majority of farms in the Region have issues with the livestock for feed and sheltering. Communications via phone, two way radios, and TV and radio broadcasts have been greatly reduced because of the power outages. With many cell towers damaged, cell phone coverage has been limited. The heavy rain has washed out many roads, bridges and dams. This is affecting the ability to respond with emergency equipment. Large amounts of water washing down stream from the dam breakages or releases has flooded homes, businesses, and washed out roads and bridges in the region. Thursday afternoon, the Berrien Springs dam ruptured and sent a large wall of water down stream, washing out trees, buildings, bridges and vehicles. This debris has dammed up Page 19 against the river overpass of US 31 with the North bound bridge partly washed out and one section collapsed. The dam at Paw Paw is holding but is at the limit and could overflow the banks. The West Michigan Ave. road bridge over Paw Paw dam spillway is closed. The Sturgis dam north of Centerville has collapse sending wall of water into the wooded area below the dam and washing debris down stream to the dam in Three Rivers. The Marrow Dam in Kalamazoo County suffered a breach in the earthen portion just north of the dam gate releasing the backwaters downstream. North St., Patterson St. and Mosel St. Bridges are closed because of surge damage, ice and debris building under them. Bronson Hospital basement and tunnels are flooded, Vine St., Burdick St. & Lovell St. flooded on east end. Rail bridges in Kalamazoo and Parchment appear to have suffered damage. Kalamazoo City Water Reclamation Facility is significantly damaged and without power. The Lakewood, Comstock and part of Parchment areas are flooded and without power. Many small bridges are damaged or out throughout Kalamazoo County. Because of possible collapse M‐89 is closed at the bridges west of Otsego, in Plainwell and in Allegan. Any road that goes over a dam or next to a dam is closed throughout the region. Fire and Police Departments in the Cities of Allegan & Plainwell are flooded, and buildings are not functional. The Allegan & Plainwell City Water Reclamation Facility is destroyed, and open sewage is flowing into river. In Barry County the Thornapple River is 4 feet over flood stage, flooding across all the lower lying areas of farms, villages and cities, within a half to one mile distance from river. All dams along this stretch are in danger of collapse. The Special Needs Populations in all regional counties are unable to evacuate or receive need care in areas that are inaccessible due to the blocked roads and flooding. These vulnerable persons are unable to get needed medicines and supplies. The kidney disease patients cannot get to dialysis facilities. Nursing home and adult care facilities are without power and running short on water and food. Wal‐Mart Distribution Warehouse at Coldwater cannot get product out to stores because of road conditions and employees are unable to get to work so they are short staffed. In all counties work staff is unable to get to or from work as most roads have blockage from trees, washouts, or flooding. Kellogg’s has shut down production because of employees unable to get to work. Interstate I‐94 is open in Calhoun County, with traffic moving slowly. All slide offs have been left with the drivers/passengers taken to shelters. Calhoun and Branch Counties have less ice and snow and most have power. The Fort Custer Military Base and many other shelters in schools and churches are being opened in these counties in preparation to take in people from neighboring counties. Fatalities/Injuries 45,000 injuries expected. As many as 950 to 1,000 fatalities are possible with 912 confirmed and as water subsides more are expected to be found. There are 100 plus reported as missing. Hundreds of slip and fall injuries as well as heart attacks are being reported as people try to remove snow and ice. People are becoming dehydrated due to lack of water, and hunger is causing confusion among the population, as well as other health issues. Reports of hypothermia and frost bite are also pouring in. People are running out of their prescription medications, and reports of diabetes‐related issues are also on the rise. Property Damage Local Emergency Management offices throughout the region have activated their Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) and damage assessment teams have been deployed. The State of Michigan Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) has also been activated. Due to the roadway and power issues, damage assessment teams will be working with the Civil Air Patrol. The Civil Air Patrol will conduct flyovers of each county and provide photograph evidence of the damage. As roadways become cleared, the teams will start doing ground assessments. Up to 40% of homes and businesses throughout the region have sustained severe damage. Most rural roads are impassable due to downed trees and snow/ice accumulation. Metropolitan areas are closed due to downed power lines and power outages. Many city roadways are blocked by downed trees limbs and/or wires, and many secondary roads washed out in places. Landline telephones are operating in only about 20% of the region, and completely out in flooded areas. Cell Phones are about 15% functioning due to downed towers. Flooding and dam failure has caused portions of I‐94, I‐196, US 31, and US 131 to be closed because of questionable safety of bridges, due to erosion. Page 20 Fire has broken out in the downtown Paw Paw and has spread to engulf one block. The fire department is shorthanded and running low on fuel. However, they have the fire contained to the one block area. Main Transmission lines coming into the area south of Plainwell are down and towers are destroyed because of flood and debris damage after dam broke. The region is virtually without supplied electrical power. Service Disruption Much of the power is out and roads impassable over the region causing shortages in supplies of food, water, fuel and medications. Businesses and government agencies are unable to function in full capacity and employees are unable to get to work. Clearing roads of debris and repairing washouts will take up to three weeks. Major roads will be opened first and any roads to critical areas and business facilities. Power outages will last for minimum of two weeks to two months in many areas. Rebuilding the damaged roads, bridges and other infrastructure will take up to four months. Damaged and collapsed dams will take up to a year to rebuild. Economic Impact Throughout the region there are hundreds of millions of dollar loss from property damage, medical costs and lost business costs. Approximately 40% of the regions homes and business have been severely damaged from ice, wind, with heavy snow buildup and flooding. Nearly 70% of all businesses have had to close from one to six weeks because of the storm and power outages. This has resulted in losses of up one million dollars per day for some of the larger business. Examples of these are: • L. Perrigo’s in Allegan County closed for 8 days, with losses that range in the millions dollars. • Pfizer in Kalamazoo County, close for 3 days, and 50% reduced production for 12 days, with a loss of millions of dollars. • Target and Wal‐Mart distribution warehouses each are unable to get product out and have a large dollar loss per day. They have not been able to transport product for six days so the stores are running low on product. • Loss of tax revenue will impact local and state government from the lost income in business. Waste water treatment systems that fail would cause major dollar loss through the region. In Kalamazoo alone, the dollar loss from the waste water treatment plant failure is estimated at 17 million dollars per day in community damages. Along most creeks and rivers in the region is a loss of crop land from washouts and pollution in flooded areas with sewage, chemical, and root rot. The in‐place PCB contaminated sediments in the Kalamazoo River have washed into the surrounding flood plain causing the land to be unusable or in need of hazardous cleanup. The long term cost of monitoring these areas for contamination would last for years. The replacement and rebuilding of infrastructures of roads, bridges, power grids, waste water systems and railroads will alone cost many millions of dollars. Long‐Term Health Issues With the severe flooding of many homes and businesses, mold has become an issue. This must be monitored as health problems of lung infections, skin irritations, and persons with asthma, allergies or suppressed immune systems in greater danger of health problems. Drinking water supplies from both public and private systems have been compromised from the flooding and may cause severe health problems from the various contaminates in the water. The many injuries from vehicle accidents, falls and strains cause long –term issues both of health and economic loss. These injuries range from severe trauma taking long term care and rehabilitation to shorter term recovery from broken bones and strains. Mental health issues of dealing with depression, material loss, and death or injury of loved ones will take counseling from crisis intervention personnel and psychological services. The PCB’s washed out of the Kalamazoo River is a long term health hazard for those living along the river. This population must be monitored over a long period of time for any related health issues. In the long term the damage of the trees, creates a hotter environment for the lakes and fish and will create a different outcome for that eco system along with a greater problem for heat of humans with the loss of shade also. Lack of food and water for livestock is also becoming an issue, and the loss of so many trees is predicted to alter the ecosystem by creating a hotter environment in the region. Possible health issues from this environment change may include skin cancer and asthma.
