Tsunami Description Tsunami: Tsunamis are series of traveling ocean waves of great height and long period, usually generated by submarine geophysical displacement caused by disturbances associated with earthquakes, volcanoes, or landslides in oceanic and coastal regions. A tsunami may or may not be preceded by an earthquake. In Kodiak, the most likely threat is from local tsunamis and those generated in Alaska Pacific waters. These waves have been documented to reach greater than 100 feet in height in Alaska and because they are generated immediately offshore, they may strike the coast with far less warning than tsunamis generated in the western Pacific.

Submarine landslides, which may induce local tsunamis, can and have occurred without an earthquake. These waves could impact any shoreline in the Kodiak region, depending on the tsunami’s size and direction of movement. Any tsunami greater than one meter in height may cause a variety of incidents such as industrial/technological emergencies (e.g. fires, explosions, and hazardous materials incidents); disruption of vital services such as water, sewer, power, gas and transportation; and damage to or disruption of port and harbor facilities.

Kodiak Island Concerns: Until recently, all areas in Kodiak below the 100-foot elevation above sea level were identified as evacuation areas. This elevation was chosen to allow for a margin of safety (all structures above this elevation were presumed safe from tsunami inundation), and was not actually linked to historic or predicted tsunami inundation levels. In 2016, the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys and the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Kodiak, published a series of Tsunami Hazard Maps of the Kodiak region. The Japanese Tohoku earthquake and tsunami introduced new thinking into the modeling community. According to the 2016 inundation line study, new models and maps have been made to re-evaluate the risk to the Base Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough. A series of nested computational grids was employed in the Kodiak area to generate a detailed map of potential tsunami inundation triggered by local and distant earthquakes. The data is reflected in the new inundation maps in enclosure (1).

Notification: The West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WCATWC) in Palmer, Alaska issues tsunami warnings to Kodiak and other areas in Alaska, British Colombia, Washington, Oregon and California. WCATWC uses satellite telemetry, seismic and sea level data, and other information to track seismic activity and potential tsunamis in the Pacific basin. When a large earthquake occurs, geophysicists at the WCATWC determine its epicenter and magnitude, and if these data meet criteria for possible tsunami generation, the WCATWC will issue a Tsunami Warning for a limited area near the epicenter.

• A tsunami Warning message includes predicted tsunami arrival times at selected coastal areas and requires that those areas prepare for the possibility of immediate flooding from the tsunami.

• A Tsunami Watch is issued to areas adjacent to the warning areas alerting them to the possibility of a tsunami.

Upon issuing the watch and warning threats, the ATWC geophysicists will confirm whether or not a tsunami has been generated by examining additional data, and based on this information they will issue regular updates to the affected areas.

Tsunami hazards are best mitigated by extensive preplanning of warning systems, evacuation routes, evacuation procedures and public education and awareness of these systems and routes.

Alerts Base Kodiak will normally take notifications of tsunami reports from the WCATWC. WCATWC notifies the Coast Guard Base Kodiak Police Department (CGPD) in the event of a Tsunami Watch, Warning or Advisory. These notifications will determine the need to activate this plan based on the information published in the Tsunami Warning Center’s message.

http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov

The Pacific Tsunami Warning System provides a number of social media and digital notifications. Users can text 40404 for an update or follow the PTWS on Twitter, Facebook, and You Tube.

Tsunami Warning: Highest level of tsunami alert. Warnings are issued by the WCATWC due to the imminent threat of a tsunami from a large undersea earthquake, or following confirmation that a potentially destructive tsunami is underway. In order to provide the earliest possible alert, tsunami warnings may initially be based only on seismic information. Warnings advise that appropriate actions be taken in response to the tsunami threat. Such actions could include the evacuation of low-lying coastal areas and the movement of boats and ships out of harbors to deep waters. Warnings are updated at least hourly, and as conditions warrant. Updates may continue, expand, restrict, or end the Warning.

Tsunami Watch: Medium level of tsunami alert. Watches are issued by the WCATWC based on seismic information, without confirmation that a destructive tsunami is underway. They are issued to provide advance alert to areas that could be impacted. Watches are updated at least hourly as conditions warrant. An update may expand the coverage area, upgrade to a Warning, or end the alert. A watch for a particular area may be included in the text of the message that disseminates a Warning for another area.

Tsunami Advisory: Lowest level of tsunami alert. Advisories are issued by the WCATWC to coastal populations within areas not currently in either warning or watch status when a tsunami warning has been issued for another region of the same ocean. An Advisory indicates that an area is either outside the current warning and watch regions, or that the tsunami poses no danger to that area. The Center issuing the Advisory will continue to monitor the event, issuing updates at least hourly. As conditions warrant, the Advisory will either be continued, upgraded to a watch or warning, or ended.

Information Statement: A text product issued to inform that an earthquake occurred and to advise regarding its potential to generate a tsunami. In most cases, an Information Statement indicates there is no threat of a destructive tsunami affecting the issuing tsunami warning Center’s Area of Responsibility (AOR). Information statements are often used to prevent unnecessary evacuations of coastal areas where the earthquake may have been felt. An Information Statement may caution about the possibility of a destructive local tsunami. A supplemental Information Statement may be issued if important additional information is received, such as a sea level reading showing a tsunami signal. An Information Statement may also be upgraded to a watch or warning if appropriate. Further, the Information Statement may be used by local emergency management authorities to recommend upgrade to a warning or watch if protocols so specify.

Cancellation Report: Issued after a Watch or Warning if a tsunami is not developing. An ALL CLEAR will be issued 2 hours after the last tsunami ETA.

Emergency Communications A priority of the Facility Emergency Action Plan (FEAP) Planning Team is:

• To establish primary and alternate means of communication that will be used to activate the Emergency Response Teams,

• Inform personnel of the nature of an emergency and what action to take, and

• Coordinate activities during the emergency.

In some cases, the Base Kodiak public address system may not be audible during the emergency and is therefore inadequate as a means of notifying tenant commands and/or building occupants. As such, appropriate use of telephones, radios, fire alarms and/or messengers may prove more effective. The following means can be utilized as part of an effective alert and warning notification system:

Primary Notification

Siren Alert and Warning System (SAWS): Consists of siren stations and public address speakers located throughout Coast Guard property linked together and connected to the CGPD and Fire Department dispatch locations. These sirens can be activated with a single activation button at either CGPD or Fire Department dispatch locations. The sirens produce a distinct, wavering tone. The primary purpose of the system is to warn personnel of an impending tsunami and signal that an order to evacuate has been issued. The tsunami warning test signal is sounded every Wednesday at 1400, at the U.S. Coast Guard Base and in the City of Kodiak.

Tsunami Notification Using SAWS: Consists of sounding the SAWS sirens continuously for 1 minute followed by 30 seconds of silence. This sequence should be repeated until the Incident Commander has determined that all personnel have been adequately notified or until a tsunami arrives, whichever occurs first. The SAWS indicates Base leadership or emergency responders issued an order to evacuate and personnel should immediately proceed to evacuation areas as directed in enclosures (2&3). Below are several scenarios for initiating a tsunami notification.

• Scenario 1: If a local earthquake lasting more than 15-20 seconds occurs and it is of sufficient strength that it’s difficult to stand (personnel have to brace themselves for support), the Officer of the Day (OOD), CGPD Watch Captain, or Fire Department shall activate the SAWS immediately. After SAWS has been activated, additional notifications indicated on the OOD DISASTER RESPONSE EMERGENCY CALL OUT LIST located in enclosure (4) shall be made.

• Scenario 2: If a tsunami warning is received from the WCATWC indicating an estimated arrival time of 30 minutes or less, the OOD or CGPD Watch Captain shall activate the SAWS immediately. After the SAWS has been activated, additional notifications indicated on the OOD DISASTER RESPONSE EMERGENCY CALL OUT LIST located in enclosure (4) shall be made.

• Scenario 3: If a tsunami warning is received from the WCATWC indicating an estimated arrival time between 30 minutes and 1 hour, the OOD or CGPD Watch Captain shall attempt to notify the Commanding Officer or Executive Officer or other “Acting” authority prior to activating the SAWS. If, after 5 minutes, the Commanding Officer (CO) or Executive Officer (XO) or other “Acting” authority cannot be notified, the OOD or CGPD Watch Captain shall activate the SAWS. After SAWS has been activated, additional notifications indicated on the OOD DISASTER RESPONSE EMERGENCY RECALL LISTING located in enclosure (4) shall be made.

• Scenario 4: If a tsunami warning is received from the WCATWC indicating an estimated arrival time in excess of 1 hour, the OOD or CGPD Watch Captain shall obtain approval of the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer or other “Acting” authority prior to activating the SAWS and making additional notifications indicated on the OOD DISASTER RESPONSE EMERGENCY RECALL LISTING located in enclosure (4). If the designated authority cannot be reached prior to 1 hour of the predicted tsunami impact, the procedures for scenario 2 should be followed.

Secondary Notification

Emergency Radio & Television Broadcast Stations: Consists of broadcast radio and television stations linked together to provide emergency alert and warning to the public. The Kodiak Area Emergency Alert System (EAS) consists of KRXX FM 100.1/TV Channel 9. Use of the EAS must be authorized in accordance with Section 6 Volume 2, Kodiak Area Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).

Alert & Warning System (AWS): Computer web based secure alert system for Homeland Security. https://aws.uscg.mil

CGPD and Fire Department: CGPD and the Fire Department have mobile public address systems. They consist of using vehicle installed PA systems to disseminate information rapidly to relatively small geographic areas. Priorities should be focused in the following areas:

• Personnel Services Area: Commissary, Northern Lights Recreation Facility, Pizza

Parlor, and Galley. The Fire Department may sound building fire alarms to ensure all hands evacuation.

• Nymens Peninsula: Water Front Area, Cutters, NED (Seattle Detachment), NOAA, and Fuel Farm Office.

• AIRSTA Kodiak

• EXCHANGE/BOSS Building

• Other Low Lying Areas: Lower Government Housing, Barracks 7 and 8, and Tsunami

Lanes

Phone Trees: The phone tree consists of notifying personnel by using command established recall lists. This system should be used in conjunction with and not replace others methods of communication.

Door to Door: Door to door consists of contacting individuals in person by going to their residence or place of business. This system is typically employed to evacuate the immediate area for emerging incidents that involve a clear threat to public safety, e.g. hazardous materials (HAZMAT) incident, bomb threat, tsunami, etc. This system is also ideal for verifying evacuation orders have been carried out. Time permitting; the Duty Master at Arms (DMAA) shall commence door to door knocking in the Barracks.

Personnel Accountability: A vital piece is to confirm accountability and safety. The Base Incident Commander (IC) will retain the central authority for all tenant commands and Base to https://aws.uscg.mil/ report displacement issues. In addition to accounting residents and personnel in the Kodiak area, Base IC will coordinate with Sector Anchorage as an alternative means of accountability.

Sample Alert and Warning Messages

Shelter in Place Message: “At [time] today, an event occurred at [location] involving [description of situation]. The Base Kodiak Commanding Officer directs that all persons in [names of areas] should remain inside their houses or other closed building until their radio, television, or designated official say they can leave safely. If you are in the unaffected area, go indoors and remain inside. Keep pets and children inside. Listen to the radio or television for further information.”

Prepare to Evacuate Message: “At [time] today, [description of situation]. The Base Kodiak Commanding Officer directs all persons in [affected area] to stay indoors and prepare to evacuate.

If you are in your home, gather all necessary medications and clothing. You do not need to evacuate at this time, but remain alert for further instructions. This message will be repeated until conditions change.”

Evacuation Message: “At [time] today, [description of situation]. The Base Kodiak Commanding Officer directs all persons in [names of area] to evacuate the area in an orderly manner. Drive or walk toward [evacuation route]. Emergency personnel will be along this route to direct you out of the area. Please observe normal traffic laws. Failure to leave the area may result in severe injury or death. This message will be repeated until conditions change.”

Operational Communication

Accountability: Base Kodiak IC will establish a communication plan and announce primary functional lines via cell phones, land lines or VHF 16/22a. Team Kodiak shall make accountability reports to Base Kodiak Incident Command Post (ICP) via announced communication lines. Homeported and visiting cutters shall maintain communications through port services via cell phone BMC (907)539-1035 and/or Duty Watchstander (907) 487-5303.

Communication with Kodiak City EOC: Communication with city Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be through the Liaison Officer (see enclosure 5).

Reporting Requirements

Situation Reports (SITREPS): It is impossible to describe all incidents that will require a SITREP to Commandant as each event will depend on the facts and shall be evaluated separately.

A SITREP should be completed by the Planning Section and sent as soon as practical after the onset of an emergency. Updates should be completed every 24 hours or more frequently if circumstances warrant.

Critical Incident Reporting: The Critical Incident Communications process was developed to provide a streamlined notification system and to rapidly disseminate initial, limited information about critical incidents throughout the Coast Guard and to interagency partners. This process should be followed up with more deliberate Situation Reports as soon as possible. The overarching goal is rapid awareness first, knowledge and detailed information later. This process seeks to establish discipline in the communication process, so that tactical commanders can focus on operations while still receiving information.

Environmental Reporting: Refer to Integrated Emergency Response Prevention Plan Section 1.1.8.

Evacuation Introduction: Emergencies or disasters may require the evacuation of people and/or resources from areas of high hazards/threats to areas of lower hazards/threats. Evacuations may be required for specific facilities, designated areas, or for the entire base depending upon the nature and extent of the threat. This section provides specific guidelines for the evacuation of areas below the 2016 tsunami inundation line study and guidelines to be considered during other limited evacuations.

Authority: Only the IC, Base Kodiak Commanding Officer, or the individual acting on their behalf during periods of absence, is authorized to order a base-wide evacuation. Additionally, the Base Kodiak Commanding Officer, or designee acting as the Incident Commander, is authorized to order the evacuation of specific facilities and/or specific areas within the base. Commanding Officers of tenant commands have the authority to order the evacuation of facilities occupied by their command with or without the approval of the Base Kodiak Commanding Officer, or designee acting as the IC. In all circumstances, every reasonable effort should be made on behalf of tenant commands to keep the IC apprised of evacuation orders. Similarly, the IC should, prior to issuing an evacuation order, consider the needs of affected tenant commands to the fullest extent possible.

The Base Kodiak Officer Of the Day (OOD) will carry out the Tsunami Incident Action Plan as the initial IC designee until relieved by higher authority.

Evacuation Considerations

• Determination of Need: Not all emergencies requiring protective action require evacuation. In some instances the decision to shelter in place is the best possible course of action. The IC will weigh the risks associated with the hazard/threat against the risks associated with sheltering in place and/or evacuating.

• Identification of Evacuation Area: Before an evacuation can be effectively carried out, high hazard/threat areas must be identified. These include areas that may become affected if environmental conditions change or the incident escalates.

• Evaluation of Evacuation Route(s): Potential routes from the affected zones should be evaluated for accessibility, capacity and vulnerability to the hazard/threat.

• Determining Time Needed for Evacuation: The time required to effectively evacuate is a function of the time needed to:

o Reach the decision to evacuate.

o Designate evacuation route(s).

o Notify persons in the evacuation zone.

o Mobilize persons in the evacuation zone.

o Evacuate the hazard/threat areas.

Effective pre-planning is the most effective way to reduce the time required to evacuate an affected zone.

Phases of Evacuation: Typically evacuation evolutions are comprised of three components: 1) declaration to evacuate; 2) the preparation to evacuate; and 3) the evacuation. It is imperative that all personnel are aware of what phase the evacuation is in. It is the ultimate responsibility of the IC to communicate this information to personnel.

Declaration Phase: Upon receiving notification that a tsunami or significant flooding event may impact the Kodiak area, the OOD should complete the OOD Emergency Notification Checklist located enclosure (4). The CO must determine whether or not and when to make preparations to evacuate. If the decision is made to delay preparations, actions must be taken as directed by the CO until the order to prepare for evacuation is issued. The decision to prepare for evacuation should include a plan for disseminating information to individuals within the evacuation area(s).

Preparation to Evacuate Phase: Upon declaration to prepare for evacuation, the OOD should initiate notification procedures as per notification checklist, enclosure (4). The Commanding Officer, or designated authority, will assume the role of the Incident Commander. Those individuals assigned to proceed to the ICP, will initiate incident planning procedures and “stand-up” the initial Incident Command System (ICS). Refer to the Base Kodiak Tsunami Evacuation Zones and Refuges.

• The BOSS Contractor shall initiate procedures for evacuation and accountability of their personnel. Personnel accountability should be reported to the Incident Commander via the Staging Unit Manager at Beacon Hill Industrial staging area.

• If the predicted wave arrival time is 60 minutes or greater the BOSS contractor shall initiate procedures for evacuation of heavy equipment to the Beacon Hill Industrial staging area. If time allows, the BOSS contractor should consider relocating appropriate 150KW generator to the Golden Anchor. enclosure (6) lists high value emergency assets for the BOSS contractor to consider storage at high ground when not in use or relocated prior to wave arrival.

• The Emergency Services Branch shall facilitate the evacuation of personnel from the evacuation area by establishing appropriate traffic control procedures and providing mobile public address notifications.

• The Emergency Services Branch shall also unlock the Cape Spencer Street gate (CGPD), Cape Decision (CGPD) and the Narrow Cape Street gate (Fire Department).

• Tenant Commands should report personnel accountability to the Incident Commander via their assigned liaison officer as the information becomes available. The IC will maintain a collective roster, noting unaccounted for personnel who could be accounted for from a different reporting source.

• At a time determined appropriate by the IC, an evacuation order will be issued. The timing of the order will depend upon incident specific circumstances. The order to evacuate means that all personnel shall immediately leave the evacuation area and move to designated refuge areas.

Primary Evacuation

Evacuation Phase: Upon declaration to prepare for evacuation, the IC should initiate notification procedures. Affected personnel shall report to the closest refuge area to their current location. Refuge regions are mapped in enclosure (2) and specific locations are listed in enclosure (3).

• The Emergency Services Branch shall verify that the evacuation order has been carried out and all personnel have departed the evacuation area(s). Appropriate primary and secondary security perimeters shall be established.

• Department Heads or their designated representatives shall ensure an accurate accountability is taken of all personnel within their respective departments and passed to the Executive Officer, or designated representative. Individuals assigned to report to the Incident Command Post shall report to their respective Division Officer prior to departing for their assigned areas. The Executive Officer shall forward personnel accountability to the Incident Commander. After an accurate roll is taken, Division Officers are strongly encouraged to allow personnel to assist in the evacuation of dependents from evacuations areas. If such authorization is given, precise accountability of those personnel is still necessary. Personnel not needed to assist dependents will be utilized as deemed necessary by the IC to effect evacuation preparations.

• Base Kodiak Incident Command Post personnel shall report to the 2nd floor large conference room of the Base Kodiak ESD BLDG (Bldg 576).

Evacuation of Specific Facilities: If the evacuation of a specific facility is required, all personnel should muster in the area designated on the building’s Fire Bill, located near each emergency exit and stairwell access. Supervisors should take accountability and pass this information to the On-Scene Commander (OSC) (normally the Duty Fire Chief or CG Police) through the most senior member present. The IC or OSC should define inner and outer security perimeters, including criteria for access. Military Police shall physically establish and enforce security perimeters.

Evacuation of Designated Areas: Since the evacuation of a designated area will typically involve extensive coordination efforts and affect numerous commands, the decision to evacuate is reserved for the IC. To effectively evacuate an entire area, many steps must be followed, such as defining adequate routes, designating muster locations, establishing security perimeters, etc.

Base-wide Evacuation

Evacuation of low-lying areas below the 2016 Tsunami Inundation Line study: The evacuation of this zone, commonly referred to as a tsunami evacuation, may be required for significant flooding events or upon the determination that a tsunami will impact Kodiak. Refer to enclosure (2) for a map showing the Base Kodiak Evacuation Zones and Refuge Safe Havens.

Evacuation Zone A: Refuge Safe Haven: Building N24, Steam Plant

• Waterfront: Personnel located at Port Services, Auto Hobby Shop, Naval Engineering Detachment, Cutter Storage, NOAA facilities shall evacuate and muster at N24 (Steam Plant) on Nymens Peninsula.

• Homeport Vessels: Homeported vessels will follow their Tsunami Plans or evacuate and muster at N24 (Steam Plant) on Nymens Peninsula.

• Visiting Vessels: Visiting vessels will follow their own Tsunami Plans. If unable to get underway, or if members are left ashore, visiting vessels shall evacuate and muster at N24 (Steam Plant) on Nymens Peninsula.

• Nymens Peninsula: Personnel working or recreating in this area shall evacuate and muster at N24 (Steam Plant) on Nymens Peninsula.

• Personnel Services Area: Personnel at the Billiken Theatre, Personnel Activities Center (PAC) building, Northern Lights Recreational Facility, Pizza Parlor, Galley and Barracks shall evacuate and muster at N24 (Steam Plant) on Nymens Peninsula. These facilities may have a substantial concentration of persons who are not familiar with base emergency procedures. Therefore, effective and timely communication of information to persons in these facilities is critical.

• Wastewater Treatment Plant A or B: Evacuate and muster at Upper Government Hill

(UGH) refuge area. The UGH muster point will be at the FAA tower.

Evacuation Zone B: Refuge Safe Haven: FAA Tower

• Child Development Center (CDC): The CDC shall evacuate and muster at the Upper Government Hill (UGH) refuge area. The UGH muster point will the FAA tower. There will be a school bus parked at the CDC for evacuation purposes only. The CDC will maintain control of the keys at all times.

• Lower Government Hill Housing (LGH): Lower Government Hill residents shall evacuate and muster at Upper Government Hill (UGH) refuge area. The UGH muster point will the FAA tower.

• Upper Government Hill (UGH): The new UGH homes on Lookout Drive shall muster at the Upper Government Hill (UGH) refuge area. The UGH muster point will the FAA tower. All other residents on UGH shall shelter in place.

• Air Station: The Air Station will follow their Tsunami Plan or evacuate and muster at the Upper Government Hill (UGH) refuge area. The UGH muster point will be at the FAA tower.

• CGES/DECA Dry & Cold Storage: Personnel in this area will evacuate and muster at the Upper Government Hill (UGH) refuge area. The UGH muster point will be at the FAA tower.

• Evacuation Zone C: Aviation Hill Refuge Area

• Evacuation Zone D: Lake Louise Refuge Area

• Evacuation Zone E: COMM DET Refuge Area

• Core Base Facilities: Muster point will the FAA tower.

General: In the event personnel located in any of the above reference evacuation areas are unable to evacuate to their designated refuge area, personnel are encouraged to take refuge at the closest refuge area identified in enclosures (2&3).

Tsunami Shelter in Place Instructions

Coast Guard Housing Areas: The following housing areas shall shelter in place: Upper Government Hill (UGH) housing area with the exception of 400-504 Lookout Drive, Aviation Hill housing area and Lake Louise housing area.

Team Kodiak Facilities: ESD, Communications Detachment Kodiak, and Golf Course facilities shall shelter in place.

Shelter in Place Guidance: If “shelter-in-place” is to be used, it must be implemented using effective alert and warning systems. Personnel should take the following actions:

• Immediately proceed indoors and remain inside until notified by competent authority, i.e., CGPD, or Fire Dept., that it is safe to depart their houses or other buildings.

• Keep pets and children inside.

• Listen to local television or radio stations for updates.

Off-Base Personnel: Military members should call their supervisors to see if they are needed back on the base.

• All personnel located off base (i.e. in Kodiak City, Bells Flats, etc.) who are in low-lying areas should evacuate to high ground.

• The shelter area in Kodiak City is the High School. Families who live in town that are below the inundation zone and all personnel that live on-base who cannot get back to base (due to road closures, etc…) shall check in at the High School. If military members are not needed on the base they should shelter in place at the High School to keep traffic to a minimum. Military members and dependants will be mustered and directed by Incident Command Liaison Officer (LNO) or a designated alternate. The senior military member present at the High School shall assume the position of LNO until relieved by appropriate authority and report muster information to the local Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the Kodiak Borough building next to the High School. This information will be passed to Base Kodiak ICP.

• In the event sheltering is required while Peterson Elementary is in session, the school leadership with enact their emergency plan and be independently able to access either the Beacon Hill or the UGH Refuge centers.

Recovery General: During emergency incidents, the Base Kodiak Incident Command Staff has the authority to establish priorities for the assignment and use of all materials and supplies at Base Kodiak. The IC will commit all necessary resources to protect lives, property and the environment at Base Kodiak. There are considerable amounts of supplies and materials found at Base Kodiak. This section addresses the vital materials and supplies (water, food, emergency generators and fuel) necessary to meet the above commitment.

The Concept of Operations for tsunami recovery requires 2 weeks of all necessary supplies at each safe haven to assure survival of all the anticipated refugees.

Water: Since water is essential to life, the IC will place a high priority on maintaining the water supply system. The current water system at Base Kodiak serves a community of approximately 2,700 people and derives its water from Buskin Lake. The national standard for water is 5 gallons per person per day, which provides for drinking, sanitary and hygiene needs. Safe Haven will have water storage and filters for a fresh water supply nearby.

After an emergency/disaster event, restoring the water system will be a high priority. Public Works and Environmental personnel will be responsible for restoring and maintaining the water distribution system at Base Kodiak. In the event that the water distribution system cannot be repaired within a reasonable time frame, water shall be rationed. Areas of high priority are as follows:

• Buskin Lake Pump House, BLDG 559

• Water Treatment Plant, BLDG N23

• All piping and valves within the water system

• Nemetz Water Tank, N9

• Aviation Hill Housing Water Tank N85 and Pump House BLDG N15

• Old Woman’s MT, Water Tank N8

• Old Woman’s MT, Deluge Tanks N16 and N17

Food: The national standard for food serving is 2,500 calories per person, per day. To meet these standards Meals Ready to Eat (MRE) will be available for consumption. MRE’s will be pre-staged at the following locations: UGH refuge area in the FAA Tower, Lake Louise housing area, BLDG 24 (Steam Plant) on Nymens Peninsula and BLDG 576 (ESD) in shed 404.

Shelter: Shelter in the form of tents will be available at the following Refuge Areas:

• Upper Government Hill (FAA Tower)

• Nymens Peninsula BLDG 24 (Steam Plant)

• Lake Louise Housing

• Aviation Hill Housing

Toilets: Toilets will not be available immediately after a tsunami or earthquake. Port-a-johns will be maintained at safe havens and buckets with trash bag.

Recovery

Emergency Power: In the event of a loss of regular power to Base Kodiak from K.E.A, Base Kodiak has alternative sources of power:

• Primary Plan: Primary plan will only succeed if Building 12 survives the tsunami inundation. Building 12 contains the KEA generator and is located behind the first cement building on the left after driving onto Nymens Peninsula.

In the event of an island-wide power outage, Kodiak Electric Association (KEA) will place a 2.5 MW generator on-line located in Building 12 and isolate the base from the grid allowing emergency power to most Base buildings and houses.

All building emergency generators must be running in conjunction with the 2.5 MW generators for overload prevention. Thirteen (13) facilities identified in enclosure (7) will continue to operate on installed standby generators to allow the 2.5MW unit to operate within its parameters. These generators will be manned and monitored during the duration of the power outage event. Under this scenario, nearly 100% of the base will have power.

Additionally, the BOSS contractor stores several portable generators which it maintains and operates, can be deployed as required, see enclosure (6).

• Secondary Plan: Emergency power will be limited on base to the thirteen (13) facilities listed in enclosure (6) and portable generators in the event the 2.5MW unit in Building 12 is inoperable. Housing will not have emergency power in this scenario.

Portable generators maintained, operated, and stored by the BOSS contractor will be deployed to support facilities identified in enclosure (6) or to other locations as required.

Fuel: The fuel system at Base Kodiak consists of a network of pipes, valves, tanks, and pump stations on Nymens Peninsula. Fuel is a necessary part of the response and recovery phase of an emergency incident. The Base Kodiak contractor will be responsible for maintaining the fuel systems. The fuel system may be broken into two different sections. One section is responsible for bulk fuels (i.e. diesel fuel for vessel, JP-5 fuel for aircraft, and fuel to maintain equipment operations etc). The other fuel section is responsible for home heating oil. Base Kodiak maintains a contract with local vendors to provide heating oil to all oil heated buildings on base, including residential homes. A list of fuel storage tanks and the tanks capacity can be found in the Integrated Emergency Response and Prevention Plan.

Steam: The BOSS contractor maintains, operates, and stores two portable steam boilers to provide steam to isolated sections of the base in the event the Central Heating Plant is out of commission. Steam may be provided to the gym facility, CDC, and Guest House, with these portable boilers.

Damage Assessment Team: The initial damage assessment should begin as soon as possible after the incident and should be conducted by the best qualified Facility Engineering personnel.

enclosure (7) provides a recommended priorities list for all major facilities and resources on Base Kodiak.
