1. Some time ago each of you were requested to submit copies of the
emergency procedures which currently exist in your Office. These procedures
have been reviewed and, in general, they represent standard operating
procedures and instructions covering emergencies ? of a naturally short
duration. Some' procedures are out of date and almost all have a heavy
reliance on local, state, and other Federal agencies. Furthur, the existing
procedures are not fully coordinated, lack a Directorate-wide system for
mobile communications, do not fully utilize all current existing capabilities,
and need to be pulled together into a coordinated cohesive plan.
2. Over the next year, our goal will be to develop a coordinated,
Directorate-wide plan to cope with emergencies. To accomplish this, each
Office will develop a formal emergency plan with a targeted completion date of
30 December 1984. A Directorate Emergency Planning Group will be formed to
provide realistic and effective interfaces between the various Office plans.
This group will also provide a focal point for coordinating emergency planning
with the rest of the Agency and will identify the steps necessary for
developing a plan for major national disasters including nuclear war.
3. The Office plans will include a detailed outline of the support
provided to us by other government agencies. They will also, wherever
possible, identify single points of failure; i.e., any unique function,
individual, group, building, machine or system which, if lost, would prevent
continued operation of all or a major portion of your operation. The plans
will update current procedures and make provision for the following
emergencies if they are not currently covered:
