VESERIS Section 6 Exhibit 1 Natural Disaster Checklists Page 1 of 3 As outlined earlier in this manual, it is the responsibility of the facility Emergency Coordinator (usually the Branch Operations Manager), or designee, to determine when the Contingency Plan will be put into effect. To assist facilities in preparing for and dealing with Natural Disasters, the below checklists (Pre-Season Hurricane/Flood Activities, Pre-Hurricane/Flood Activities, and Post Hurricane/Flood Activities) have been developed. As Meteorologists consider June 1st too be the start of each year "storm" season, those Veseris facilities that are considered at risk for Natural Disasters (i.e., located in an area with a history of hurricanes/flooding) should conduct the Pre-season activities by the end of June each year. Hurricane & Flood Pre-Season Checklist Gather up supplies and equipment that may be needed and store near the Emergency Response Kits. Suggested items include plastic tarps/sheeting, sand bags, portable radio with fresh batteries. Have enough plastic sheeting to cover computer equipment and file cabinets containing critical information. Prepare a list of emergency phone numbers for utility companies; electrical, gas, water, etc. Take pictures of entire site; warehouse, tankfarm, office. Store in safe area or electronically. Inspect all dikes (loading areas and tankfarm) for integrity. Notify your ROM if you find an area of concern. Have Environmental Contractor information available. Pre — Hurricane & Flood Checklist Date & Time Completed Initials Safely shut down all processes and telephone equipment. Inspect the outside areas of the plant for items that could become airborne or float away and relocate to a secure area of the facility; i.e., empty poly and steel drums, empty trash cans, empty propane tanks, pallets, etc. Date & Time Completed Initials
