JANUARY 14, 2010 MINUTES 5 LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE 2305 8TH AVENUE NORTH—BILLINGS,MT 59101 JOE MARCOTTE,CHAIR Communications -DES coordinates the total emergency communications of emergency responders day to day and in a disaster. This is accomplished through the City/County Dispatch Center and mobile communications vans. DES is a member of the City/County Communications Advisory Board created by an interlocal agreement between the City and County. This Board, composed of Police, Fire, and Sheriff personnel, provides guidance to the Dispatch Center. This Board is also the 911 Committee which determines how 911 services are provided county-wide and how 911 funds are spent (such as basic and enhanced 911, new CRT radio consoles and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD). DES also maintains a liaison with local ham radio operators to provide backup or secondary communications in an emergency. After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, 2000, communications among emergency responders became an instant issue at all levels of government. During the attacks,fire and police responders from New York City had difficulty communicating with each other via portable and mobile radios. The loss of lives was attributed to the lack of communications "interoperability" between first responders. Since then, much emphasis and grant funding has been focused on the area of interoperability. Alerting&Waminq-DES maintains a county-wide system of alerting sirens to alert the public of an emergency. The original siren system was funded by donations from area refineries. Yellowstone County has 24 outdoor alerting sirens, 17 in the Billings/Lockwood area,2 in Laurel,and one each in the rural communities of Broadview, Shepherd, Huntley,Worden and Custer.These sirens are radio controlled sirens activated from the Billings/Yellowstone County Communications(911)Center with a backup control at the Laurel Communications Center. The sirens can be sounded individually, in zones,or all at the same time and tests of the system occurs regularly. Yellowstone County also relies on the National Weather Service who broadcasts weather related information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a designated frequency for south central Montana. A NOAA weather radio tuned to that frequency can sound an alert tone for severe weather and alert the public to the weather condition. The Weather Service will also broadcast other non-weather emergency information if it is threatening to the public. In addition DES cooperates with the Billings Area Broadcasters as well as the National Weather Service to maintain the Emergency Alerting System (EAS) Plan for the South Central Montana Operational Area which incudes Yellowstone County and the neighboring counties. All broadcast stations(radio and TV)are part of the local, state,and national EAS to alert and warn the citizenry of any impending or occurring emergency or disaster. The primary alerting station is KEMC-FM -91.7mhz and the secondary alerting station is KGHL-AM- 790khz. These stations, as well as the National Weather Service, broadcast emergency information to the public in the South Central Montana EAS Operational Area which includes the following counties and their county seats: Yellowstone (Billings), Big Flom (Hardin), Carbon (Red Lodge), Stillwater (Columbus), Sweetgrass (Big Timber), Wheatland (Harlowton), Golden Valley (Ryegate) and Musselshell(Roundup). JANUARY 14, 2010 MINUTES 6 LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE 2305 8TH AVENUE NORTH—BILUNGS,MT 59101 JOE MARCOTTE,CHAIR Emergency Operations Center - this is a joint City/County facility where key officials gather to conduct emergency operations. DES maintains the EOC to include radios, telephones, supplies, maps, and furnishings. When in operation, DES manages and coordinates all EOC activities. The EOC provides for: (1) direction and control, (2) information collection, evaluation, display and dissemination,(3)coordination of response activities,and(4)resource management. Exercises-DES participates and coordinates exercises with all emergency responders (fire, police, EMS, airport, hospitals, etc.) simulating emergencies that could happen in Yellowstone County through the Exercise Design Subcommittee of the LEPC (Local Emergency Planning Committee). This committee has taken the lead role in the planning and coordinating of all disaster exercises. Emergency Declarations and Levies - DES is responsible for recommending an emergency declaration or disaster declaration to the policy bodies of city and county government, preparing disaster declaration resolutions, serving as the City and/or County's authorized agent for FEMA declared disasters(e.g.floods of 1978 and 1997),and managing the authorized emergency levy. Rural Fire Protection Program-the DES Director serves as the County Fire Chief, Fire Warden, and Administrator of the rural fire protection program.The County contracts with eleven volunteer fire departments for grass and wildland fire protection.DES serves as the County's thief advisor to all fire districts and fire service areas for all fire related matters and coordinates with the Department of Natural Resources for state fire support on County wildland fires. Fire protection in Yellowstone County (outside the incorporated cities of Billings, Laurel and Broadview) is essentially divided into two parts - structural protection and wildland protection. The structural protection for homes,farmsteads,commercial buildings and all other improvements on the property is provided by a legally created fire district or fire service area per Montana Law (see separate sections). The other part of fire protection in Yellowstone County is the rural wildland fire protection.By Montana Law(7-33-2201 through 7-33-2211, MCA), the county is responsible for suppressing fires to protect range,farm and forest lands. Yellowstone County provides this protection by having a rural fire levy from the county general fund and using the funds to contract with the volunteer fire departments throughout Yellowstone County. The county is divided up into geographic areas showing the fire districts, fire service areas and the wildland fire protection areas. In many instances the wildland fire protection area boundaries are the same as the fire district or fire service area boundaries. The minimum level of protection is wildland fire protection,and all of Yellowstone County is protected by a rural volunteer department.
