a)         Each hazard specific annex of the EOP shall individually

address:

1)         The annex's purpose and:

A)        scope; or

B)        goals and objectives;

2)         Authority;

3)         Situation and assumptions;

4)         Identification of and functional roles and responsibilities

for internal and external agencies, organizations, departments and positions;

5)         Logistical support and resource requirements necessary to

b)         In addition to the above requirements of subsection (a), each

hazard specific annex of the EOP may include functional appendices, tabs, check-lists

and job aids.

c)         The EOP shall include, as a Hazardous Materials annex, all

applicable portions of an LEPC chemical emergency response plan for the

political subdivision, developed in accordance with the requirements of the

Illinois EPCRA.  The SERC shall appoint an ESDA coordinator from within the

LEPC's emergency planning district to serve as a member of the LEPC in the

development of the LEPC chemical emergency response plan.

d)         Based upon United States Geological Survey calculations of

probable areas subject to earthquake damage, IEMA has determined that the EOPs

of the following county ESDAs and of political subdivision ESDAs located within

the following counties shall include an Earthquake annex: Alexander, Calhoun,

Crawford, Edwards, Franklin, Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Jackson, Jefferson,

Jersey, Johnson, Lawrence, Madison, Massac, Monroe, Perry, Pope, Pulaski,

Randolph, Richland, Saline, St. Clair, Union, Wabash, Washington, Wayne, White,

and Williamson

ollowing county ESDAs and of political subdivision ESDAs located within

the following counties shall include an Earthquake annex: Alexander, Calhoun,

Crawford, Edwards, Franklin, Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Jackson, Jefferson,

Jersey, Johnson, Lawrence, Madison, Massac, Monroe, Perry, Pope, Pulaski,

Randolph, Richland, Saline, St. Clair, Union, Wabash, Washington, Wayne, White,

and Williamson.  In addition to addressing the requirements of subsection (a),

the Earthquake annex shall address, at a minimum:

1)         For Direction and Control purposes:

A)        The use of ground or aerial surveys, or both, to determine the

scope of the damage, casualties, and the status of critical facilities.

B)        The use of damage assessment information to identify the

facilities and areas where urban search and rescue operations are to be

conducted and to establish priorities for search and rescue operations.

i)          Provisions to control access into and out of damaged areas.

ii)         The inspection of buildings and other structures to determine

habitability or the need for condemnation or demolition and how such

determinations will be marked.

2)         For Public Information purposes:

A)        The development and distribution of survival tips on what to do

during and immediately after an earthquake.

B)        The distribution of warnings and advice on the continuing

threats of fire, unsafe areas, building collapse, aftershocks, and other

hazards.

C)        Public notification of emergency assistance locations, such as

shelter, medical services, and food and water.

3)         For Evacuation purposes, provisions for moving residents of

custodial facilities, including, but not limited to, hospitals and jails,

following an earthquake due to structural damage from the earthquake or

projected aftershocks.

4)         For Mass Care purposes:

A)        Identification of mass care facilities in low seismic risk

areas that are away from secondary effect threats

3)         For Evacuation purposes, provisions for moving residents of

custodial facilities, including, but not limited to, hospitals and jails,

following an earthquake due to structural damage from the earthquake or

projected aftershocks.

4)         For Mass Care purposes:

A)        Identification of mass care facilities in low seismic risk

areas that are away from secondary effect threats.

B)        Identification of mass care facilities that are structurally

sound, well retrofitted, or built to code, based on the knowledge of a

structural engineer.

C)        A ranking of the mass care facilities based on the amount of

earthquake resistance protection offered.

e)         An ESDA may include additional Hazard Specific annexes for

threats and hazards identified through the process set forth in Section 301.220.

IEMA may require the ESDA to include additional Hazard Specific annexes in the

EOP, if IEMA determines that those annexes are necessary preparation for

protection of the public peace, health and safety in the event of a disaster.
