CHAPTER 1. BASIC EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

1.1 Goal

This KNPR specifies actions to support the KSC mission under emergency conditions and follows the response protocol outlined in the National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS). This KNPR outlines procedural requirements for implementing the KSC Emergency Management Program (EMP), per NPD 8710.1, Emergency Management Program and NPR 8715.2, NASA Emergency Preparedness Procedural Requirements. Following the provisions of Executive Order 13618, Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions, Executive Order 12148, Federal Emergency Management, and Executive Order 12656, Assignment of Emergency Preparedness Responsibilities, NASA shall establish emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation procedures that:

a. Protect lives.

b. Protect the environment.

c. Minimize loss and damage to NASA resources.

d. Provide for continuous operation or timely resumption of mission-critical functions, services, and infrastructure.

e. Aid in the recovery and timely resumption of normal operations.

f. Assist in mitigating hazards and minimizing the effects of natural disasters and technological emergencies.

g. Support local, state, and Federal agencies and appropriate emergency response authorities.

1.2 Objective

The objective of this KNPR is to document Center emergency management requirements and implement procedural direction unique to KSC by effectively and efficiently conveying those requirements to employees, customers, and the KSC populace.

1.3 Responsibilities

1.3.1 The heads of primary organizations, contract managers, and contract technical representatives are responsible for ensuring compliance with the provisions of this KNPR on the civil service and contractor personnel who support programs for which they have primary responsibility.

1.3.2 Partner organizations are responsible to ensure all applicable operations, activities, equipment, and facilities are in compliance with all Federal, State of Florida, and local emergency preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery statues, regulations, and ordinances. Partners are commercial entities using KSC facilities. Unless stated otherwise in their agreement, the Partner is solely responsible for compliance with

RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.

aforementioned emergency management regulatory requirements including NIMS response and documentation laws.

CHAPTER 2. SITUATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS

2.1 Situations

2.1.1 Hazardous operations at KSC take place at different locations and could potentially result in wide-ranging emergencies and disruptive events. Site-specific emergency management plans, other than the KDPs listed in Table A of this document, shall be developed by each organization conducting hazardous operations and processes.

Copies of these plans are provided to the NASA Emergency Management Officer (NEMO) for review and approval. The NEMO retains these documents for dissemination to emergency responders.

2.1.2 NASA KSC, partner organizations, and contractor activities, where specified by contract, develop and maintain an all-hazards emergency preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery program. The program is based on documented plans and procedures that are reviewed by the NEMO which address the five NIMS components described in KDP-KSC-P-3018, National Incident Management System Component Structure at Kennedy Space Center, Chapter 3 of the CEMP, and other Federal requirements and directives.

2.1.3 NASA is required to provide interagency support in accordance with the NRF. The NRF supersedes the National Response Plan. These support services are coordinated through the multiagency coordinating system. Local and regional interagency support may also be requested from NASA Headquarters and other NASA Centers in accordance with mutual aid and memorandums of agreement.

2.2 Assumptions

2.2.1 Any of the incidents identified in the KSC Hazard/Threat Identification (Table B) may cause large numbers of casualties, great loss of property, or degradation of the NASA mission.

2.2.2 KSC has continuous potential exposure to known hazards.

2.2.3 KSC must be adequately and reasonably prepared to carry out initial disaster response and short-term recovery actions on an independent basis. Outside assistance may be available for emergencies affecting KSC.

2.2.4 National emergencies or disasters that may affect KSC can occur at any time. For some events such as hurricanes or flooding, dissemination of warning and increased readiness measures may be possible. Other events, such as tornadoes, lightning strikes, acts of terrorism, or civil disturbances may occur without warning.

2.2.5 Senior management officials recognize their responsibilities for the safety and well-being of employees and the public and execute their responsibilities in the planning, implementation, and maintenance of the CEMP.

RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.

2.2.6 Proper implementation of this plan will help reduce or prevent further injury to personnel, loss of life, damage to the environment and critical infrastructure, and the disruption of mission essential functions and services.

2.2.7 The Kennedy Protective Services Contract (KPSC), Emergency Management Office, is the primary contractor support to the EMP at KSC.

2.2.8 Each major KSC contractor and partner organization provides a point of contact to the

KPSC Emergency Management Office. These points of contact function as the emergency coordinator for their respective company.

2.2.9 All personnel having the designation of “emergency responder” have completed and will maintain the requisite training in accordance with NIMS, in order to satisfy the requirements as an emergency responder at KSC. See KDP-KSC-P-3018 for the NIMS training requirements at KSC.

2.2.10 Normal administrative policies and procedures may not be adequate during emergencies.

CHAPTER 3. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

3.1 Office of Protective Services

At the Agency level, NPR 8715.2 requires the Office of Protective Services (OPS) to coordinate all Agency responses to the multiagency coordinating system, as outlined in the NRF, and coordinate planning and support between NASA Centers and other Federal departments and agencies. The Assistant Administrator for the OPS is responsible for the overall management of the NASA EMP. Each Center Director shall ensure development of that portion of the CEMP applicable to the mission and needs of their respective Center.

3.2 Kennedy Space Center Emergency Management

KSC employs a fully operational emergency response capability, ready to respond to local emergencies and major natural or technological disasters on KSC property or at other NASA Centers. The KSC emergency responders are capable of supporting the appropriate tasking (in accordance with the NRF) as coordinated through the Headquarters Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

3.2.1 At KSC the Emergency Management Planning Committee (EMPC) is responsible for planning, developing exercises, and recommending changes and modifications to the CEMP. The NEMO chairs this committee and the KPSC provides the secretariat support and administration of the EMPC.

3.2.2 At KSC the tenets of the NIMS Incident Command System (ICS) have been adopted and incorporated in all KDPs for emergencies, as described in KDP-KSC-P-3018. These emergency-related KDPs are an extension of the CEMP (Table A).

3.2.3 A State of Emergency Declaration, often given by local, state, and Federal entities, is a management procedure during an emergency. If the emergency is a natural or technological disaster that exceeds KSC response capabilities, the KSC Center Director

RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.

or designee declares a state of emergency, initiates coordination with local emergency response agencies, and notifies the OPS both during and outside normal work hours.

The OPS notifies the NASA Administrator and appropriate Mission Support and Mission Directorate offices and requests and coordinates assistance from other NASA organizations and Federal agencies as necessary. The KSC EOC makes contact with the local Brevard County and Headquarters EOC during response to, and recovery from the disaster.

3.3 National Incident Management System Component Requirements

In compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, KSC has adopted NIMS as the response structure for all emergencies at KSC including the emergency support functions listed in the NRF and the KDPs listed in Table A of this plan. A complete description of NIMS is provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in FEMA 501.

NIMS is the standard on-scene, all-hazards incident management system for firefighters, hazardous materials and rescue teams, security and law enforcement, and emergency medical teams. This includes initial reporting and dispatch from the Protective Services Control Center followed by activation of the EOC. The NIMS structure and basic components adopted at KSC are contained in KDP-KSC-P-3018. The components include:

a. Preparedness

b. Communication

CHAPTER 4. PHASES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

KSC complies with the Phases of Emergency Management described in NPR 8715.2. The phases described are mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. These are addressed in paragraphs 4.1 through 4.4 below.

4.1 Mitigation

Mitigation activities are designed to prevent an emergency by minimizing adverse impacts through a combination of risk assessment and preventive measures. The actions that have been implemented at KSC to mitigate risk are as follows:

a. Identification of critical facilities that require shutters during a hurricane are identified in KDP-KSC-P-3006, Appendix I.

b. KSC complies with Federal and NASA regulations and state or local codes where applicable. A list of all compliance documents is included in contracts, construction projects, and programs at KSC. Online access to the National Fire Protection Association and Occupational Safety and Health Administration directives are available to employees as well as an online Materials Safety Data Sheet registry.

c. A Center-wide Paging and Area Warning System, Tornado Area Warning System, and a pop-up desktop warning message are used to notify employees of an emergency. Bells, lights, sirens, and other warning devices are used in hazardous operations facilities to warn employees. Evacuation procedures are online for employees to review and each employee participates in an evacuation drill annually.

d. A scientific study has been conducted on mission essential facilities at KSC in regards to wind and storm surge damages. Major upgrades to flight hardware facilities and enhancements to the EOC have provided a greater survive-to-operate posture to valuable mission resources. The NEMO maintains the documentation on these studies.

e. Facility strengthening and storm protection are a major concern in designing new projects and renovating existing facilities at KSC. Alarm detection systems and fire suppression systems are a mandated requirement for new construction on KSC.

f. Specific threat levels at KSC warrant an elevation in protection for employees.

Established documented procedures are developed and posted to meet the specific threat level.

g. KSC has developed Mutual Aid and Memorandums of Agreement, Joint Operating

Procedures and Memorandums of Understanding with local city, county, and other government and state entities for support during an emergency. These agreements and memorandums are available online (via the KSC TechDoc System) and are maintained by the NASA Protective Services Office.

4.2 Preparedness

KSC developed and maintains the EMP which includes preparedness activities, programs, plans, and systems to ensure readiness and enhance response capabilities to an emergency or disaster. The following list contains key aspects of this program:

a. The NEMO has overall responsibility for all aspects of the CEMP.

b. Table B contains KSC’s threat identification and analysis.

c. KSC has identified a list of resources available to support emergencies. The list is maintained by the KPSC. The list is provided to the Headquarters EOC for Agency use in supporting other NASA Centers during a disaster.

d. Required NIMS training has been identified and a procedure established to complete the training. The NIMS training completion is documented in the Web based EOC (WebEOC) software product maintained by the KPSC. See KDP-KSC-P-3018 for KSC

NIMS.

e. Exercises and drills are required by NIMS and accomplished by several different training assessment groups and committees as outlined in KDP-KSC-P-3018. Drills and exercises are planned, evaluated, and documented.
