EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN OVERVIEW <br /> Depending on the circumstances and the type of emergency, the first important decision is <br /> whether to stay at the facility (shelter-in-place) or evacuate. Facility management will use all <br /> available information to determine if there is an immediate danger. In any emergency, local <br /> authorities may or may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and <br /> what the facility should do. <br /> Facility management will make the decision to either slielter-in-place or evacuate in the absence <br /> of direction from outside agencies. This plan is designed to account for both possibilities. <br /> Facility management will use available information to assess the situation. If there is a large <br /> amount of debris in the air, or if local authorities say the air is badly contaminated, the decision <br /> may be to "shelter-in-place." Information will be gathered from watching TV, listening to the <br /> radio, or checking the Internet often for information or official instructions as it becomes <br /> available. There are numerous emergencies that may prompt personnel to shelter-in-place. <br /> Examples of these types of emergencies include; terrorist attacks, toxic material releases, <br /> radiological and biological accidents, civil disturbances, workplace violence, and tornados. <br /> If told to evacuate or seek medical treatment from the authorities, the lacility will do so <br /> immediately. <br /> In preparation for these events the facilities has designed the loilowing plans to help instruct <br /> personnel on who to contact, where to go, and the basic emergency supplies information. <br /> I, Emergency Information List(Appendix A) <br /> The emergency information list contains emergency responders, contact phone numbers, <br /> emergency assembly locations, and shelter-in-place locations. ft outlines the basic actions that <br /> must be taken in the event of an emergency. <br /> ©2009 Republic Services Page 2 of 2721171201 1 <br /> Emergency Act/on Plan <br />
