BASIC EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN (BEOP)
TIGARD, OREGON
P R E F A C E
AUTHORITY
This plan is issued in accordance with and under the provisions of ORS
4C1.080 and Ordinance No. of the City of Tigard.
PURPOSE
A. To provide, in cooperation and coordination with the State of Oregon,
Washington County Emergency Services, Tualatin Fire District, and
Washington Fire District #1 an effective emergency operational capability i
in order to minimize the effects of a natural or man-caused disaster.
B. To assist in meeting the above purpose, the following requirements should
be satisfied:
1. A warning system be established to alert all departments, agencies, and
organizations responsible for action and to the general public.
2. The development, by each department and agency, of an annex to this
basic plan that will show how the department or agency will be
organized, and how it plans to carry out its emergency operational
responsibilities.
3. The establishment of a city Emergency Operations Center (EOC) from
which city government can function efficiently during disasters by
providing coordinated direction and control to emergency operations
" within the city, and by initiating mutual support activity among
neighboring communities, Washington County, and the State.
4. The development of a radiological emergency capability that will enable
the City emergency services to handle properly incidents involving
peacetime radiation hazards, as well as to enable the community to
respond to defensive measures in the event of a wartime nuclear
disaster.
C. This manual is designed to deal with natural and man-made events of
significant proportions. It is not the intent herein to deal with
criminal acts such as hijackings, hostage taking or terrorist incidents,
except as they might result in a disaster or major emergency occurring.
In designing a manual for emergency handling of disasters, or major
incidents, account cannot be taken of the peculiarities of situations as
they present themselves. The contents cannot, therefore, be exhaustive.
In some instances, specific responsibilities are set out; in others, only
a general outline is given. It is not intended to limit or restrict
police initiative, judgment or independent action required to provide
appropriate and effective policing and will be instrumental in saving
lives and in preventing personal injuries and property damage.
D. The manual is intended to be a useful operating guide to the policies and
practices to be, adopted in emergency situations.
E. The success of any disaster operation is dependent upon the experience and
training of the men and women who actively participate, as well as their
Commanders. A major emergency/disaster manual, then, is only as good as
the officers who'undertake various responsibilities and the policies under
-which they 'carry out their duties.

_ 6
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. It is a basic concept that emergency operations will make use of all
available resources--governmental and private--to combat the effects
of a disaster or major emergency. Since the normal functions and
organization of local government are the nuclei around which the
Emergency Operations Organization is developed, appropriate
emergency functions are assigned to the various departments of city
government, augmented with volunteers where necessary.
B. When an emergency or disaster situation arises, and it is determined
that the normal organization and functions of city government are
not sufficient to meet the situation effectively, the Mayor, City
Council, City Administrator, or Chief of Police may: Declare a
state of emergency; activate the Emergency Operations Organization;
place the Ciry cf Tigard Basic Emergency Operation Plan (BEOP) into
effect; activate and staff the City Emergency Operations Center on a
full or partial basis, depending on the situation, under the
direction of the City Administrator.
C. Heads of emergency services or individual Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) staff members assigned responsibility for emergency
functions will be assembled, in the City EOC under the supervision
of the City Administrator. The City Administrator will act as the
Director of Operations. The EOC will have a communications
capability so that departments, agencies, and field elements of all
emergency services can be directed and controlled by the appropriate
-- EOC staff and so that required information may be received,
` recorded, plotted, analyzed and decisions made in response to
emergency situations. Common information will be displayed for all
emergency service chiefs to see and to use. Coordination of actions
will be effected by the operational staff in the EOC.
D. The emergency communications capability will include a warning and
information syst-- to warn and advise the public. Communications
will be established with county, state, fire, other communities, and
agencies, as appropriate under the circumstances. Refer to Annex D.
Warning.
V. TASK ASSIGNMENTS
A. Police Department - The Chief of Police 'is responsible for all law
enforcement activities, including traffic control, required security
measures, and related criminal investigations. In certain

establish and maintain a warning system (refer to Annex D. Warning)
to cover the City of Tigard, and also to alert key officials not
previously alerted by Tigard Department SOP's. He will provide for
'. a communications capability that will ` extend horizontally and
laterally throughout the City of Tigard so that communications may
be maintained among City agencies.
- 7 -
B. Fire Department - The Fire Chief is responsible for all
fire-fighting operations, those activities necessary when situations
include fire hazards, search, rescue, and evacuation services where
required. He will be prepared to assist in other emergency
functions within his department's capabilities; i.e., first aid,
debris clearance, and water pumping. He will maintain mutual
support agreements with other fire-fighting agencies.
C. Public Works -- The Director of Public Works is responsible for
damage assessment reports, repair and maintenance of sewer and water
lines, roads and public facilities, providing heavy equipment when
needed and removal of debris. He will provide maps or drawings of
underground utilities, and provide information pertaining to
structural soundness of buildings affected. He will coordinate the
Public Works activities and emergency services provided by outside
agencies. He will develop and maintain a 'Local resources x....rtory

D. Welfare Services - The American Red Cross is responsible for
providing emergency housing, feeding and clothing, and for
organizing religious affairs.
E. Finance - The Director of Finance will be responsible for
procurement of additional transportation, manpower, supplies and
equipment as needed by Chiefs of emergency services when special
fiscal measures are necessary. The Director of Finance will also be
responsible for documentation of damage and cost estimates arising
from specific disasters. See Annex G. Damage Analysis Reports.
F. City Administrator The City Administrator is responsible for the
planning and supervision of emergency information to the public, to
include instructions and information covering the specific
emergency. He will provide a telephone information service to
persons telephoning the EOC. He will utilize all news media for

neighboring communities. He will operate from the EOC.
G. Legal Services - The C;.ty Attorney is responsible for providing
legal services during disasters. He will be thoroughly familiar

situation as it develops so that he can readily advise or consult
with responsible officials on all legal matters, including potential

INTRODUCTION
Hazardous materials are stored, transported, and utilized on a daily basis
throughout the country= The primary exposure is from such materials as oil, k
gasoline, pesticides, fertilizers, liquid gases, industrial chemicals, and
occasionally radioactive materials.
Tigard has two well known sites where both chemicals and fertilizers are
stored. These are Great Western Chemical Company and Farm Craft Fertilizer
Company. Although there have not been any disasters at either place, the
potential is there.
Par Gas has large storage tanks of L.P.G. There are unknown sites throughout
the City where large amounts of paint and related cleaning chemicals, and
other highly flammable agents are used and stored. All of which have the
potential of creating large fires.
A mass transportation accident such as a passenger jet crash is not likely, as
the City is not in an established flight path; however, it cannot be ruled out
entirely. Train wrecks or derailments can and have occurred here.
Fortunately no disasters have accompanied these incidents.
i
The final consideration should be radioactive materials being transported i
through the City. There is no way of knowing how much, when or where, but !
rest assured radioactive materials are passing through. Fortunately the
amounts at any one given time are likely to be small, and only dangerous
within a close pro:rimity.

® STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE (SOP)
FOR HANDLING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENTS
PRELUDE
Scope: This standard operating procedure will pertain to incidents in which
property or lives are subjected to potential damage, destruction, or
contamination due to loss of control during materials handling of hazardous
substances. The primary exposure is from such materials as oil, gasoline,
pesticides, fertilizers, liquid gases, and industrial chemicals.
Hazardous materials are stored, transported, and utilized on a daily basis
throughout our community. Response services must be knowledgeable on:
1. Identification of types of material
2. Danger evaluation and handling
3. Notification procedure
Prompt and proper response can reduce the harmful effects on the community,
and help avoid fines and clean-up costs TORS 468, Pollution Control and OAR
340-47-015 and 12-055).
Purpose; This plan is designed to inter-tie the emergency plans of police,
fire, medical and Communications Services in the Washington County Basis
Disaster Operations Plan (BDOP), and to utilize the expertise provided in the
Oregon Accident Response System (OARS) Plan, dated February, 1978.
Operations under this plan take place in two phases, called Immediate f
Operations, and Clean-up Operations. Immediate Operations are the emergency
activities involved with saving life and eliminating or reducing property
loss. Clean-up Operations include removal or repair of the equipment which
caused the incident, removai of contaminants from the scene, debriefing and
' critique of operations, and analysis of the results.
RESPONSIBILITY
Any agency within Washington County when encountering a potential hazardous
material incident should immediately contact Washington County Central
Dispatch. Initial calls from private citizens may be received at the
following Dispatch Centers:
1. Oregon State Police
2. Any Fire Dispatch
3. Washington County Dispatch
4. Tigard City Police Dispatch
The first dispatch center contacted will be designated the PRIMARY dispatch
center.
Communications Department - Responsible For:
1. Rapid and accurate communication between response agencies.
2. Execution of established notification procedures.
3. Maintenance of an accurate and detailed record of events as they
occur, preferably through use of time stamps and automated audio recording
facilities.
4. Obtaining as much information as is practical about the details of the
incident to assist response agencies in dispatch of appropriate resources.

2. Dispatch fire, police, medical to the scene.
�- 3. If a chemical spill is involved, call the CHEMTRAC number in
Washington D.C. 800-424-9300 CHEMTREC will identify substance
and give advice on how to handle situation.
Dispatch fire, police, medical to the scene.
4. Call the OARS emergency number in Salem: 800-452-0311 (toll
number is 503-378-4124).
5. Notify Washington County Dispatch Center in Hillsboro.
6. If an oil spill is involved, call the Coast Guard National
Response Center (NRC) in Washington, D.C. 800-424-8802
7. Stand by to provide normal communications support to operational
units on the scene.
8. Maintain a record of the names and telephone numbers of all
government and private agencies and persons contacted. These
will be documented in the follow-up procedures.
9. Press communications can be critical to the handling of some
situations. Media inquiries should be directed to the Division
of Emergency Services in Salem, 503-378-4124, unless otherwise
directed by the Officer in Command at the scene.
10. In addition to the normal requirements for compliance with voice
communication procedures, special care must be taken to ensure
the correct transmission of chemical names. Not only are they
unfamiliar to operating personnel, but many of them are very
similar (eg; "ethanol", "ethanol").
Police
1. The police officer first on the scene will be in responsible
charge, and will be in command of the situation. He will be
designated the Scene Commander and will establish a Command
Post, normally by parking his vehicle in a prominent position a
safe distance away from any spilled material.
2. Access to the area must be carefully controlled until an
assessment of the nature of the spill is made. Toxic or
flammable material may be found as solid, liquid, or gas.
Gasoline tanks on overturned vehicles may present a secondary
spill hazard.
3. Every effort must be made to determine the nature of the spill
and the procedures appropriate to the substance present.
4. Access to the scene should be restricted to those involved in
recovery operations. Members of the State Response Team will
have proper identification.
5. Conduct evacuation of nearby residents if necessary.
Fire
1. Normal fire operations may not apply to a spill situation. In
the case of explosive or toxic materials, the Fire Chief in
charge may determine that a defensive approach is preferable. A
determination of the type of substance involved and the types of
hazards present should be made before introducing any source of
ignition or exposing personnel. Fire suppression operations
should be conducted only when the nature of the hazards are
( evaluated.
`- 2. Any persons trapped or involved in the incident should be
rescued as soon as it is determined that rescue personnel can
enter the area.
3. If possible without undue risk, any leak should be plugged to
reduce the amount of material spilled.
20
Medical
r 1. Medical personnel will hold off until the hazards present have
been evaluated and clearance is given by the Scene Commander.
2: Personnel will be treated on the scene and transported if
necessary. Detailed records of names, condition, and degree of
exposure will be maintained on persons transported from the
scene.
State Division of Emergency Management
1. When Emergency Services receives notification of a hazardous
material incident, they will activate the procedures outlined in
the Oregon Accident Response System plan, dated February, 1978.
Activation of OARS initiates a State of Emergency under
Executive Order EO-74-15 dated February 22, 1978.
2. Emergency Management will assemble the Response Team to conduct
clean-up operations, follow-up, and analysis of the incident.
CLEAN-UP OPERATIONS
State Division of Emergency Management
1. Because the nature of clean-up varies widely with the nature of
the spill, it is not possible to delineate procedures in a
plan. Emergency Management is responsible for designating the
State and Federal agency involvement in clean-up operations.
2. Emergency Management may request assistance from local
agencies. The members of the Response Team will determine the
f need for such assistance.
< r
Local Agencies
1. The Scene Commander will relinquish command to the Response Team
E
when the immediate danger is past.
-2. Local agencies will respond to requests for clean-up assistance
from Emergency Management as they are able.
y
The following information is attached to thi- -trticle and does not come into
x
local operations It explains certain actions asked of local government, and
local government has only to be concerned with cooperative efforts.
TYPES OF MATERIALS
The following "incident reports" are statistically logged in the State
Division of Emergency Services, and can be of some interest to either a state
or federal agency under present laws and regulation's.
Air pollution - from burning (environment effects)
Spill materials in the nature of:
biological
chemical
fertilizers
fuel - such as gas, diesel, oil, etc.
pesticides
radiological
f waste - waste treatment breakdown or by-pass
V it should be noted that in the case of truck and air
transportation spills - the cargo may be of one identity, but
often fuel from the transporting vehicle is "a spill" too.
All liquid cargos, such as paint and other such supplies, as well as
solids should be identified and reported. Some materials such as hay and
fodder (animal food) and bark dust are not harmful to human life, but do
have smoldering fire potential and must be cleaned up. They are of
interest to Department of Transpertation on a follow-up basis with the
shipper for marking placards.
FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURE
This procedure follows the clean-up operations, and the OARS team will be in
charge of collecting data, reporting to the state clearing house, who handles
arbitration, critiquing the situation, updating the OARS plan, and closing the
case.
The shipper of petroleum materials which are spilled can save fines and costs
by notifying the Coast Guard himself. When possible, shippers of spilled
products should be so advised.
RESPONSE TEAMS
Teams are from all segments of state, local, federal, industrial or other
specialized expertise, depending on the nature of the material. The sorting
of what expertise is needed is done by the answering agency of the state toll
free number. Department of Environmental Quality Response Team Coordinator is
responsible for all accidents EXCEPT radiological.
( Radiological materials are the responsibility of the State Health Department,
`- and the Response Team can be expedited by calling 229-5599 or the automa':ic
page number 229-5797; however, the state OARS number should also be called.
The DEQ Coordinator usually is the RESPONSE TEAM COMMANDER, but may put
someone else in charge when that person is strategically able to reach the
scene first.
City of Tigard operational personnel should be familiar with the outside
agencies' interests and capabilities.
AE - Coordinates Response Team, organizes and implements clean-up
operations, disposal, certification of area for use. Interested in
all types of spills.
EPA - Interested in chemical, pesticides, waste materials.
STATE HIGHWAY Transportation spills on state highways, clean-up and
disposal. Can assist in traffic control, has radio system,
barricades, manpower, maps to establish alternate routes.
STATE HEALTH - Responsibility of radiological incidents, and water
supplies, vector control, poison control, etc.
AGRICULTURE - Interested in pesticides, domestic animals, and food
supplies.
�. FISH S WILDLIFE - Interested in chemical and oil spills and concerned with
marine life.
COAST GUARD Oil spills, chemicals and pesticides. Needs contact with
the shipper/owner.
= 22
FEDERAL AVIATION - Air spills.
PUC - Can give direct assistance on railroad accidents, but PUC and DOT in
general do not respond to accident scenes. They are vitally
interested in follow-up to deteLiUi causes so they can assure safer
transportation in the future.
RED CROSS DISASTER RELIEF - Can assist with the housing and feeding of
dislocated persons. The Red Cross can be reached in Portland at 243-5200.
These agencies will answer questions for you, they participate in training
seminars, and they may appear on the scene or contact you for information.
- CHEMTREC is the Chemical Transportation Emergency Center, run by the
Manufacturing Chemists Association, 1825 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington,
rix D.C. 20009. They have information on file about a wide variety of chemicals
and how to handle spills. They are a telephone advisory service only, and do
not perform any on-site services.
w^
TRAINING
Training for all personnel is highly desirable, as it increases the overall
level of readiness to deal with hazardous materials incidents.
in particular, fire personnel will deal most closely with the hazards
involved in responding to spills and leaks. They should receive detailed
training in the characteristics of those materials most commonly stored and
transported within the local area.

I. Introduction
HISTORY
On May 18, 1980, a volcanic eruption of Mount Saint Helens caused widespread
destruction. Aside from damage to surrounding territory, volcanic ash was
deposited in varying concentrations as far away as the East Coast. On May 24,
1980, and June 13, 1980, the City of Tigard experienced a light ash fall.
It became apparent from communicating with police agencies in Washington
State, where heavier ash falls were experienced, that planning for a similar
oL,arrence affecting this area was necessary. j
i
The Metropolitan Police Agencies recognized the need for advanced planning,
and the Portland Police Bureau began to arrange for the creation of such a
task force to meet this need on May 27, 1980. On May 30, 1980, an initial
plan was issued to meet a possible immediate emergency. Since that time, this
more detailed and comprehensive plan has been developed.
fI
33`-
EXPERIENCES OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS
The experience of other jurisdictions has been that the overall crime rate was
, „
reduced during times of ash >.aaavut. Traffic p'ruliaeut3 increased, however, due
®' to decreased vi .bility, slipper;; road surfaces and mechanical breakai:�rta.
Washington State Patrol lost eighteen (18) vehicles due to dust infiltrating
mechanical components. Sixty-two (62) other vehicles required new engines.
Two Washington State Patrol troopers were hospitalized with spots on their
lungs after experiencing difficulty breathing the dust laden air. Other
eastern Washington law officers reported receiving mild skin irritations from
the ash. Blowing ash caused eye irritation and blurred vision. Additionally,
it was found that normal police uniforms Were not sufficient to protect
officers from ash exposure.

POTENTIAL IMPACT ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
According to the United States Geological Survey, Mt. St. Helens erupted 4,000
years ago and dropped 12 inches of volcanic ash at a distance of 50 miles (see
map). At that time the fallout was to the N.N.E., which was the prevailing
direction of the winds. If a major eruption like that one, or the blast of
May 18, 1980, were to occur when the wind was blowing from the N.N.E. toward
the City of Tigard, up to 12 inches could fall and cause major disaster. This
is the "worst ever" happening that can be imagined looking at the known
history of Mt. St. Helens. The other end of the scale would be another "light
dusting" of ash, such as occurred in Tigard on May 24, 1980.
The determining factors on whether Tigard receives an ash fall are the amount
of ash ejected from the volcano and the wind direction at the time. it is an
unusual condition for the wind to blow toward Tigard from the N.N.E., but not
unheard of. In addition, winds sometimes blow in different directions at
different altitudes. Tigard would receive a maximum of one hour warning of
approaching ashfall.
Potential problems increase dramatically with any amount of ash beyond a light
dusting, the most serious immediate problem would be increased driving hazards
due to poor visibility, slippery streets, and damaged traffic signals. Heavy
ash will break electrical lines and otherwise disturb radio and telephone
communications.
Even though crime occurrence could be expected to fall during a heavy ash
fall, the calls for other assistance and information will cause a great strain
`t on telephone service.
G '
Equipment maintenance would be a major concern during an ash fall. The ash is
abrasive and insidious in its penetration of all types of machinery.
Special care will be necessary to maintain police vehicles and keep the ash l
from sifting into police buildings. Office machinery and computers would be
very vulnerable.
The potential health hazards to officers exposed to the ash are largely
unknown at this time. A few officers in other jurisdictions suffered minor ! '
skin and bung problems. Health officials state that ash related respiratory
problems may not manifest themselves for many years. The best advice at the
time is to minimize exposure to ash ,conditions and wear protective equipment 4
when exposure cannot be avoided.
Volcanic science is inexact at best. Predictions of the future behavior of
Mt. St. Helens vary from source to source. However, the most consistent
feeling among the scientific community is that the volcanic activity will
continue for many months or years, and that virtually nothing is impossible in
terms of magnitude of eruption. The threat of volcanic problems will be with
us for the foreseeable future.

and interns may be used to supplement regular personnel. Requests for
supplementary assistance will be made through the police supervisor.
For additional details, refer to the "Volcano Emergercy Plan" incorporated in
the Emergency Disaster Plan.
VEHICLES
In the event of light ash fall out (dusting), personnel will be responsible
for checking air filters on a daily basis, and cleaning them as necessary.
Moderate ash fall out (up to 1/2 inch).
OFFICER RESPONSIBILITY
Avoid driving in heavy dust conditions unless absolutely necessary.
i
Air filters must be cleaned every 25-30 miles using compressed air (30 psi). }
Air must be blown from the inside of the filter outward. DO NOT BANG FILTER,
( as doing so will cause damage. Care must be taken noC to allow ash to enter
`- carborator intake.
Filters must be carefully inspected for dents or torn element paper prior to
each shift. Reinstall filter in housing and tighten cover tightly, then
tighten one additional turn with pliers. Do not exceed one full turn.
Engines and radiators will be hosed off every 24 hours. Electric components
(batteries, alternators, starters) will be 'cleaned off with compressed air
every 24 hours.
When refueling, care must be taken to ensure that dust does not fall into the
tank.
FLEET MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
1. Oil and air filter will be inspected daily.
2. Chassis gill be lubricated every 500 miles.
3. Fuel tank vents will be checked and cleaned every 500 miles.
4. Wheel bearings and brake pads •.gill be checked every 500 miles. €,
L
Heavy ash fall out (1/2 inch or more).
• E
In addition to the above actions, the following maintenance will be required.
OFFICER RESPONSIBILITY
1. Avoid driving or idling the engine unless absolutely necessary. 4
2. When required to drive in dense dust, keep speed to 15 mph or
less. Do not follow too close to the car ahead, and use
headlights on low beam.
3. Operate the vehicles, with windows rolled up and air conditioner {
on, which will provide a positive air pressure inside the car. E;
37
FLEET MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
1. Oil, oil filters, fuel filters
and PCV valves will be changed
every 100--300 miles.
2. Transmission oil will be inspected for signs of discoloration
every 100-300 taiies.
3. Chassis will be lubricated every 100-300 miles.
4. Fuel tank vents will be cleaned every 100-300 miles.
5. Wheel bearings and brake pads checked every 100-300 miles.
6. Alternators, batteries, and other electrical components will be
cleaned with compressed air every 100-300 miles.
After hours, Fleet Management call up will be initiated by Command Officer or
Supervisor.
Should the department declare an emergency, officers may utilize commercial
service stations for servicing. The officer will forward a receipt of work
performed to the Support Services Division Manager for payment.
FACILITIES
In the event of an ash fall out, all exterior windows and doors are to remain
closed as much as possible.
Duct tape should be used to seal windows, vent,, etc., to prevent dust.
Air conditioners should only be run when absolutely necessary during Phase II.
`• ' OFFICER HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In the event of ash fallout, personnel health and safety measures will be
needed to avoid possible medical problems. The extent of precautionary
measures will be dependent upon prevailing fall out conditions.
Phase I all precautionary measures listed under Phase II conditions will be - '
optional (officer discretion); however, strongly suggested. f'
Phase II - all precautionary measures listed below will be mandatory: '-
1. Safety goggles will be worn while outside of vehicles.
2. Protective dust masks will be worn while outside of vehicles.
3. Raincoats will be worn while outside of vehicles.
4. Hats or helmets will be worn while outside of vehicles.
(High top shoes or boots are advisable).
II
NOTE: Discussion with officers in Keiso, Longview, and Yakima areas
revealed that ash coming in contact with skin for prolonged
periods of time, will irritate skin. Steps should be taken to
>' wash ash from skin following each tour of duty.
I
_ 38
COMMUNICATIONS: Telephone
In the event of heavy ash fall out, most telephone lines will become blocked
with incoming calls. Extra telephone lines may be installed on an emergency
basis by General Telephone. Installation of extra lines will be arranged by
the Chief of Police or his designee.
COMMUNICATIONS: Radio
Radio communications may be adversely affected by a heavy ash fall, however,
poor transmission and reception are not likely to last beyond the duration of
the actual ash fall.
Care and maintenance of portable radios from ash is of primary concern.
Personnel will make all reasonable efforts to protect radios from ash
exposure. During ash conditions vehicle trunks and interiors will be vacuumed
around radio equipment by the City shops personnel whenever air filters are
serviced.
REPORT TAKING FUNCTION: Criminal Investigation Division
Under a Phase I emergency, no deviation from current report taking procedure
is expected.
Under a Phase II emergency, it is anticipated that the Communications Center
will experience a significant increase in the number of calls for assistance.
This increase, when added to the normal flow of non-emergency calls, will
result in all incoming telephone lines at the Center being utilized and calls
being stacked for extended periods of time. To alleviate this problem, a
system has been developed to route non-emergency calls to other telephone
lines, keeping phone lines open for calls for emergency assistance.
1. The Criminal Investigation Division Commander will be
responsible for developing plans for assuming the report taking
function. The Division will take telephone reports of
non-emergency crimes, with the exception of hit and run.
Citizens wishing to report non-injury hit and run accident
reports will be advised to call the police department, after the
emergency has subsided. `
2. When a Phase II emergency is declared, the Criminal s
Investigation Division Commander will be notified to implement
the report taking function.
3. Police patrol and traffic units will be dispatched only to calls
involving immediate threat of life or property. E
4. Detective units will be dispatched only in those canes where a
detective has been requested, the situation has been reviewed by
a supervisor, and the supervisor has determined the presence of
a detective is crucial to the investigation.
When the Chief of Police determines the situation has stabilized to allow
operations under normal conditions, or as outlined in Phase I, the
Communications Center will notify the department to assume normal report
taking functions.
r

- 39 -
((_ POLICE RESERVES
l
In the event of a Phase II emergency, Tigard Police Reserves may be used to
perform limited police duties. The police reserves' primary function should
be to:
1. Assist in traffic control situations
2. Man barricades
3. Provide security assistance for precincts, water reservoirs, and
other facilities where a need exists
4. Assist in emergency medical situations
The police reserves should be considered just that, a reserve unit, to be used
as a supplementary personnel to assist when existing police personnel become
overloaded with duties. Reserve assignments should be limited to fixed post
and limited foot patrol. Reserve personnel should work in at least two person
teams.
Police reserves will be mobilized only by a command officer.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Ordinances applicable to a possible ash fall emergency.
A. Mayor and successor to Mayor
1. Mayor
2. President of the City Council
B. Authority
6 1. The City Council will establish ordinances authorizing the
Mayor to set speed limits, impose curfews, enact restrictions,
and set policy deemed necessary in a time of emergency.
31 2. The only restriction to this authority is in any area
contrary to state or federal law.
N PLANS FOR OTHER AGENCIES
These plans as of June 18, 1980, subject to change without notice.
Fire Department
Policies and procedures will be the responsibility of Tualatin Rural Fire
Protection District and Washington County Fire District #1.
Public Works
This part of the city government has some extremely important functions such
ae sewage disposal, clearance of ash from the streets, and providing water for
the citizens. The function that will need extra police attention is the
clearing of the ash from the streets. Public Works may have a problem with
vehicles abandoned in the roadway, which will necessitate police attention.
Tow Companies
A number of tow companies were contacted to ascertain their anticipated
actions in the event of an ash fall in theCityof T'ioard, It was their
intention to continue business as usual in light ash, and respond to calls for
service as rapidly as the availability of their equipment allowed. Heavy ash
.:onditions would require prioritized service, however, police tows would
remain a high priority.
40
," _ .
Ambulances
Metro-West ambulance intends to continue normal service under any conditions
as long as their equipment remains operational.
Fleet Management
Depending upon the extent of the problem, the following steps will be taken:
1. The City Shop hours will be extended as needed.
2. Detailed maintenance schedules have been formulated.
The maintenance schedule will depend on the type of ash encountered.
The City is fortunate to have a fairly homogeneous police vehicles. The
majority are 1979 and 1980 Malibus, and filters and lubricants are on hand.
WARNING AND EVACUATION CONSIDERATIONS
Warning
Police notification of imminent ash fall will come from the Communications
Division. The Washington Emergency Communications Center notifies the Oregon
Department of Emergency Services. This agency then activates the NAWAS
(National Warning System) network. The dispatcher notifies the supervisor,
command personnel, and the fire alarm center.
Phase I or Phase II pl4ns will then necessarily be activated once a
determination has been made concerning the concentration and extent of the ash
fall.
In the event a Phase II condition appears imminent, warning will necessarily
have to be accomplished through the media. Notification of the general
population through radio and television announcements appears to be the most
viable means, considering a lead time of approximately one hour. In that
period of time it would not be feasible to rely on notification by police
vehicle loudspeaker or announcement by loudspeaker from aircraft. It would
likely result in a panic situation, causing massive traffic congestion, as
well as other related problems. Police personnel will rapidly be concerned
with the traffic congestion problem once the word of imminent ash fall
spreads. It is not likely that entire districts could be warned effectively
utilizing the loudspeaker prior to the actual ash fall. Vehicles and
personnel not utilized for traffic control and direction may utilize the
public address system as a means of warning pedestrian traffic to seek shelter
for their own protection if routine patrol has not been curtailed.
Dissemination of a-warning is not feasible with aitcraft due to the danger of
damage to engine internal parts and progressive visibility deterioration.
Notification by news media will necessarily be concerned with advising €:
citizens to seek shelter and restrict travel. Citizens should be advised to
wear filter masks or breath through,a dampened cloth if travel or exposure to
ash is imperative. Eye protection is also advisable. Heavy ash fall seldom
lasts more than a few hours - rarely does it last a day or more. A heavy ash
fall may cause darkness during daylight hours, and may temporarily interfere
with telephone, radio, and television communication.
The general population should be encouraged, as a precautionary measure, for
this area to maintain an available supply of batteries for flashlights and
transistorradios in the event electrical service is interrupted for an
extended period. 1
6
- 41 - `
Information regarding water supply and ash removal will be released after an
assessment of the conditions has been made.
Evacuation
M$oo 2Vaciiativil, iii ilio eVECIL Uf renewed voicanic act
y the size and population of Tigard,
lVity from Mc. jt,
Helens, would not be feasible for a cit
Oregon. Geology professor G.T. Benson of Portland State University does not
feel that evacuation of the city is feasible, even if a bulge is detected on
the south side of Mt. St. Helens.
Of primary concern to the City of Tigard is renewed, concentrated ash fall,
such as experienced in Longview, Kelso, and Yakima, Washington. In this
event, citizens will be advised by the media to restrict travel and remain
inside their homes. Under ash fall conditions evacuation is neither necessary
nor feasible. Increased travel is likely to cause massive traffic problems
and damage to engine internal parts.
If concentrated ash fall commences during a normal working day, the department
will likely be required to coordinate efforts to relieve resulting traffic
congestion. Due to the fact that ash conducts electricity, a possibility that
traffic signals will become entirely inoperable exists. Of primary concern
will be major intersections, and freeway entrances and exits.
LIAISON CONSIDERATIONS
A closely coordinated effort is essential to the effective operation of the
police department and the maximum protectio,, of life and property. This
document will reflect the liaison requirements and expectations between
various agencies. A brief discussion of reasoning will be included with each
recommendation.
Oregon Department of Emergency Services (DES) - No direct liaison necessary.
Information received and/or generated at the Oregon DES would be transmitted
via the National Warning System (NAWAS), and normally received by LEDS
teletype.
kk�
Oregon State Police - Direct liaison would be necessary only in the event of 6,
enactment of a mutual assistance agreement. In the event of a major ash fall,
all available state police officers would be committed to traffic control and
accident investigation on roads outside the metropolitan area, and would not
be available for mutual assistance assignments.
Washington County Sheriff's Office - Direct liaison would be necessary only in
the event of enactment of a mutual assistance agreement. Since most areas of {
WashingtonCountywould be affected by the ashfall to the same extent as the
City of Tigard, members of the WCSO would not be available for assistance.
Other Local Law Enforcementencies - Liaison with other agencies would be
necessary in the event of---e----nactment of a mutual assistance agreement. Due to
the extent of major ash fall, it is doubtful any such agreement would be
enacted. If, however, elements of another local law enforcement agency are
assigned to assist within the City of Tigard, a member of that agency should
be assigned to the command center as liaison. If members of the Tigard Police
Department are assigned to other local law enforcement agencies, a member of
the police department should be assigned to coordinate liaison activities
between the police department and other local law enforcement agencies
involved.
42 -
Oregon National Guard would occur
Oregon National Guard - Commitment of the
only upon request from the Mayor or designated representative, and by approval
of the Governor. The Tigard Police Department would have direct liaison only
if the National. Guard is assigned a mission to support a primary emergency
function delegated to the police department. In that event, the local
cow-hander of the National Guard would place a liaison officer in the uiuergency
Operations Center in the Communications Center.
United State Military Reserve Units - Reserve Units would not be committed
except on Presidential order. The extent of the emergency in this area would
not require mobilization of the Reserves.
United States Geological Survey - Assign an officer to go to the Federal
Building in Vancouver to provide accurate and speed assessment of volcanic
activity.
Other Local Eire Districts = Existing mutual aid agreements provide operation
procedure, and liaison is achieved on-site.
Other Liaison Requirements - Liaison personnel would be assigned to other
groups or organizations when the Chief of Police determines that effective
coordination of emergency efforts would benefit from assignment of such
personnel.

FLOOD PLAN
1. Introduction
History
During the months of early winter through spring, a time of up to six months,
there lies a potential of flooding in the City. R
There are two flood plains of concern. These are the Tualatin River and Fanno
Creek.
i
Tualatin River Flood Plain
Geographically the Tualatin river is the southern-most boundary of the city
limits, and is currently light density in residential population. However,
the density can and probably will increase as development continues along the
river. The historical flooding of the river has only been a minor threat, but
given the conditions of winter/spring water volumes, and should the Scoggins
Valley Dam give way, a major flood would results
Fanno Creek Flood Plain
Geographically Fanno Creek flows from the northern to the southern city limits
crossing a total of nine roadways The area adjacent to the Fanno Creek
flood plain is a mix of residential and commercial properties. The historical
flooding of Fanno Creek has also created minor emergencies in years past, but
has been improved by engineering. However, any number of circumstances could
create 'a major flooding of the plain.

I. INTRODUCTION
History
In years past the Portland Metropolitan area, City of Tigard included, has
experienced a variety of winter storms; i.e., 1957 blizzard; 1968 heavy
snowfall 2-1/2 feet; 1972 cold wave, 17 consecutive days sub-freezing
temperatures; 1978 and 1979 ice storms.
Wind storms have been experienced in the City and metropolitan area as well;
i.e., 1962 Columbus Day wind storm, winds in excess of 100 mph; 1972 high wind
storm 65 mph; 1973 tornado touched down in Vancouver, Washington destroying an
elementary grade school; 1981 November wind storm 70 mph.
Potential Impact on the Police Department
In the event of a severe winter storm the most obvious problem for the police
department is driving in those hazardous conditions. Maneuverability is
tremendously reduced when the road surface is covered by heavy snow falls or
ice. Visibility is greatly reduced during these storms also.
r
In cases of wind storms they are generally accompanied by heavy rain which
causes poor visibility, slippery streets, damage to traffic control signals,
power and telephone lines.
r
The most dangerous threat in severe wind storms of course is flying ying debris and
downed electrical lines.

HI PROCEDURES
PURPOSE
To establish operational procedures in the event of unusual severe storms
which create an emergency or disaster.
PROCEDURES
There are two possible phases of emergency. The Chief of Police will assess
conditions and designate that the emergency is either Phase I or Phase II.
Department personnel will be advised of this decision through Division
Commanders.
Division Commanders will assign two officers per car, in case either type of
emergency phase should be declared. This would be parallel to the "buddy
system" concept for safety purposes.
PHASE I EMERGENCY
A Phase I emergency would be declared when the City experiences a severe ice
storm, moderate snow storm (5 to 12 inches), or high wind storm where moderate
damage is occurring to the city such as downed trees, power and telephone
lines, and traffic signals out.
Patrol activity will be reduced at the discretion of the Patrol Division
Commander. Two officer cars will be fielded. Patrol supervisors will monitor
radio traffic to ensure the restriction of response to unnecessary calls. At
the discretion of the Patrol Supervisor, response to calls may be from the
IN
station and return immediately back, restricting routine patrol.
r
Fire activity will be coordinated with the Tualatin Fire Protection District
PHASE II EMERGENCY
The Chief of Police will declare a Phase II emergency when the amount of snow
fall, accumulation of ice, damage by wind, service requests or enforcement
problems require the commitment of additional personnel or resources.
When a Phase II emergency is declared, the Emergency Command Center may be
activated by the Mayor through the notification of the Chief of Police.
Under Phase II conditions. "routine" activities will be eliminated. Units
will respond only to calls that involve threat of life or property.
Patrol personnel will proceed to and remain in the Police Department, or other
location approved by their supervisor, on or near their District.
The Dispatch will tele-serve calls requiring a written report, but not the
presence of an officer on the scene, by transferring the caller to an officer
in the station. All calls received by dispatchers and other units shall be
screened to eliminate all unnecessary requests for services.
Police vehicles will be required to be operated with traction devices during
cases of ice or snow.
52 -
Commanders and supervisors will prepare for "call-up" of off-duty personnel if
police business increases, or if so ordered by the Chief of Police.
Enforcement policy of emergency ordinances established by the Mayor and/or the
City Council will be dictated at the time of the emergency. Prisoner
incarceration and transportation shall be minimized. In lieu of custody
citations should meet enforcement needs.
The Patrol Division Commander will be responsible for coordinating all traffic
control problems. If traffic control becomes a major problem, police reserves
and interns may be used to augment regular personnel. Requests for
supplementary assistance will be made through the police supervisor.
COMMUNICATIONS: Telephone
In the event of any disaster or emergency, most telephone lines may become
blocked with incoming calls. Extra telephone lines may be installed on an
emergency basis by General Telephone. Installation of extra lines will be
arranged by Administrative Services.
COMMUNICATIONS: Radio
Radio communication could be affected by an ash fallo-t but only temporarily.
If the radio transmitting antenna mast is damaged by high winds, emergency
repairs would be arranged by Administrative Services.
REPORT TAKING FUNCTION: Criminal Investigation Division
h..
Under a Phase I emergency, no deviation from current report taking procedure
is expected.
Under a Phase II emergency, it is anticipated that the Communications Center
will experience a significant increase in the number of calls for assistance.
This increase, when added to the normal flow of non-emergency calls, will
result in all incoming telephone lines at the Center being utilized and calls
being stacked for extended periods of time. To alleviate this problem, a
system has been developed to route non-emergency calls to other telephone
lines, keeping phone lines open for calls for emergency assistance.
1. The Criminal Investigation Division Commander will be
responsible for ,developing plans for assuming the report taking
function. The Division will take telephone reports of
non-emergency crimes, with the exception of hit and run.
Citizens wishing to report non-injury hit and run accident
reports will be advised to call the police department, after the
emergency has subsided.
2. When a Phase II emergency is declared, the Criminal
Investigation Division Commander will be notified to implement
the report taking function.
3. Police patrol and traffic units will be dispatched only to calls
involving immediate threat of life or property.
4. Detective units will be dispatched only in those cases where a
detective has been requested, and the situation has been
reviewed by a supervisor, and the supervisor has determined the
presence of a detective is crucial to the investigation.
53
When the Chief of Police determines the situation has stabilized to allow
operations under normal conditions, or as outlined in Phase I, the
Communications Center will notify the department to assume normal report
taking functions.
POLICE RESERVES
In the event of a Phase It emergency, Tigard Police Reserves may be used to
perform limited police duties. The police reserves' primary function should
be to
l.. Assist in traffic control situations.
2. Man barricades.
3. Provide security assistance for districts, water reservoirs, and
other facilities where a need exists.
4. Assist in emergency medical situations.
The police reserves should be considered just that, a reserve unit, to be used
as a supplementary personnel to assist when existing police personnel become
overloaded with duties. Reserve assignments should be limited to fixed post
and limited foot patrol. Reserve personnel should work in at least two person
teams.
Police reserves will be mobilized only by a command officer.
