FOREWORD

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984

The primary purpose of an emergency operations plan is to provide for the protection of life and property in time of emergency. This dictates the construction of a program of action adapted for providing such protection. This State of Georgia Nuclear Emergency Operations Plan was developed to provide a basis for planning, in the peacetime pre-attack period, for the options available to protect the population of the State of Georgia from the effects of enemy use of nuclear weapons. This plan complements the State of Georgia Natural Disaster Operations Plan and should be used in conjunction with it.
This plan addresses two primary options for the protection of the citizens of Georgia:
1. In-place protection of the population in local fallout shelters, during a little or no-warning attack situation. This option, formerly called Community Shelter Planning (CSP), is called the In-Place Protection Plan.
2. Relocation of the population from high risk areas to surrounding host areas in the event of a build-up of international tensions which could lead to a nuclear attack. With adequate warning, the population can be relocated. This option is called Crisis Relocation Planning (CRP).
This plan is keyed to the functions which must be performed during a preattack emergency, while the population is moving either to fallout shelters or host areas. It establishes the state departments or agencies that have the primary and support roles for the performance of these functions. This plan does not outline how functional assignments will be accomplished nor does it address post-attack recovery. Each department or agency with a primary or suppoi-t role will establish Standing Operating Procedures necessary to accomplish their respective assignments.
As written, this plan is intended to be clear and concise for easy urderstanding, ready application, and quick review. It allows for convenient revision for continuous operational readiness. The plan consists of two major parts which are:
1. A basic plan which outlines the legal basis, situation and assumptions, responsibility, concept of operations, and direction and control of emergency planning for nuclear attack emergencies in the State of Georgia.
2. A group of annexes, and supporting appendices where applicable, which outline the prescribed emergency concept of operations, the responsibility for such operations, provides for the required support, and assigns the direction and control necessary for the performance of each major functiun or protection option.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
BASIC PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
This plan is applicable to a nuclear war, or threat of nuclear war, wherein operational assistance or guidance is required by local governments. State resources are expected to be made available on a priority basis, within the capability of the v3.rious departments/ agencies, to assist affected local governments. This plan addresses both state-level and local government involvement in planning to alleviate the effects of nuclear war or threat thereof.
II. PURPOSE
This plan sets forth the policies and provisions for coordinated state emergency and disaster operations, and the preparations for executing all emergency or disaster functions other than those for which military forces are primarily responsible, including the following:
A. Direction and control.
B. Communications and warning.
C. Emergency public information.
D. General guidance on the In-Place Protection Plans, formerly called the Community Shelter Plans, to be developed by individual communities throughout the state, with assistance from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency {GEMA).
E. Fallout prot2ction for the citizens of the State of Georgia under local In-Place Protection Plans.
F. General and specific guidance on Crisis Relocation Plans developlJ by risk and host areas as herein designated.
G. Relocation of individuals from high risk areas to congregate care facilities in low risk (host) areas, using best available shelter, to include upgradable and expedient shelters, after consideration of host area resident requirements.
H. Continued operation of essential industries throughout the state under conditions of increased international tension.
I. In-place, all risk (blast) shelters for essential workers and stay-puts in risk areas.
J. A system of radiological monitoring to prevent citizens 1 exposure to large doses of radiation from nuclear explosions.
1

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
K. The provision ot essential goods and services to care for Jndi.;tduals relocated under either of the relocation options.
III. LEGAL BASIS AND REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

7. StJte of Georgia Warning Plan, January 1983.
8. State of Georgia Radiological Defense Handbook, GEMA 4-1, October 1982.
IV. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A. Situation
1. A nuclear attack on the United States may be preceded by a period of increasing international tension and crisis. In that case, sufficient time should be available for actions to be taken to protect the population. These actions include the potential for movement of the population into designated fallout shelters under a no-notice or short notice situation; or relocation vf the population from the areas of high risk to nuclear attack, to lower risk (host) areas during a period of
2

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
in~reased tension and thus a longer warning-time situation; plus a radiological monitoring system to detect radiological fallout subsequent to any attack.
2. In the unlikely event of a short or no warning nuclear attacr on the United States, to include enemy accidental launch, some protection of the population would be afforded in blast or fallout shelters near the residents' homes or places of work. This option is called the In-Place Protection Plan and requires development of local plans applicable to a specific community or locale.
3. In the event diplomatic negotiations break down during a period of international tension to the point that nuclear attack seems likely or inevitable, the President of the United States could direct relocation of the population from high risk areas to areas of lower risk, called host areas. This relocation option for the protection of the population is called Crisis Relocation, and requires the development of area plans encompassing host and risk areas.
4. Risk areas for the State of Georgia have been designated by the United States Department of Defense.
5. Lower risk areas have been designated as relocation (host) areas for each of the risk areas to be evacuated.
6. Risk areas, and their associated host areas (conglomerates), are outlined on the map at Attachment A.
B. Assumptions
1. An attack warning of actual or imminent nuclear attack that would initiate illovement to fallout shelter would come from the President through the National Warning System (NAWAS) through the State Warning Point, or by the Governor, through the State Warning Point, operating under his own authority.
2. Direction or recommendation for relocation to host areas from high risk areas will come from the President of the United States to the Governor of Georgia, who will then order the relocation. Relocation may be selective for certain risk areas, or may be general to all risk areas.
3. The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) will be used to provide information and instructions to the public.
4. When Crisis Relocation from risk areas to host areas is directed or recommended by the President, costs incurred in connection with the execution of relocation are likely to be borne by the federal government.
3

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
V. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. In time of nuclear emergency, local governments use all resources to combat the emergency situation before requesting state assistance.
B. If local governments require state assistance, the various state departments/agencies will perform the necessary emergency functions as assigned by Executive Order. State departments/agencies not having an emergency mission assigned will be prepared to carry out such duties as may be directed by the Gover;,~'.
C. In the event of an emergency situation beyond local control, the State Disaster Coordinator (State Director of Emergency ~1anagement), under the direction of the Governor, may assume direct operational control over all or any necessary part of the emergency operations functions within the state (Georgia Code Ann. Sec. 38-3-22).
D. Under the authority of the Georgia Emergency Management Act of 1981, direction and control of state emergency operations will be exercised by the Gr 1ernor through the State Disaster Coordinator, who will coordinate emergency functions of all state departments/ agencies to assure maximum emergency response capability.
E. Centralized direction, control, and coordination of all phases of nuclear emergency operations will be effected through the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) which is staffed as provided in Attachment B, Annex 1. If the emergency warrants, a forward or alternate EOC(s) will be established near the affected area(s).
F. Supplementary agreements to interstate compacts and intergovernmental mutual aid agreements may be made as necessary for effective emergency operati0~s response (Georgia Code Ann. Sec. 38-3-29).
G. Interdepartmental coordination of emergency operations capability will be effected by the Emergency Coordinators within the various departments/agencies of state government. All nuclear emergency preparedness planning and coordination shall be compatible with the policies and provisions of this plan.
}
H. Public information in normal non-emergency operations is generally provided directly to the news media by the respective department/ agency heads of state government. When this Nuclear Emergency Operations Plan is implemented, all emergency public information will be released through the Governor's Office or the GEMA Public Information Office. All news and/or public information contacts concerning emergency situations will be referred to the GEMA Public Information Office by all state government personnel.
I. All state departments/agencies will retain their identity and autonomy throughout all levels of emergency coordination. In the event it is necessary for one department/agency to request emergency
4

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
aid or support of another department/agency, those personnel rendering aid or support will generally be incorporated into the emergency operations control structure of the department/agency being aided.
VI. STATE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS RESPONSIBILITY
A. The State Disaster Coordinator, under the direction of the Governor, is responsible for:
1. Advising the Governor, state agencies, 3nd officials of local governments of the developing nature of the emergency situation.
2. Coordinating the functions of all elements of the state government engaged in emergency operations.
3. Rendering advice and assistance to state agencies and local governments in developing and revising coordinated Nuclear Emergency Operations Plans, In-Place Protection Plans, Crisis Relocation Plans, and Radiological Protection Plans.

7. Maintaining a current list of state department/agency Emergency Coordinators as provided by Executive Order.
8. Maintaining this plan on a current basis and making appropriate distribution of all changes to this basic plan and/or annexes.
9. Setting "Increased Readiness Operating Conditions" as outlined in Attachment A, Annex 1.
10. Initiating such other actions deemed necessary to implement this plan.
B. The head of each state department/agency with assigned primary or support emergency function(s) responsibility as provided in the Executive Order will:
1. Develop and maintain current the respective annex(es) or appendices as prescribed herein.
2. Develop internal Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs) for carrying out primary or support functions in accordance with
5

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
this Nuclear Emergency Operations Plan. The Emergency Coordinator of each department/agency is responsible for maintaining the annexes and SOPs on a current basis.
3. Systematically review this plan annually. When appropriate, the annexes or appendices will be updated by the responsible department/agency to reflect any changes in emergency staffing and/or operational readiness posture. All revisions must be compatible with the policies set forth in the basic plan. Results of the review and two copies of all revisions will be forwarded to the State Emergency Manager..2nt Director within 15 days after such review.
4. Assign and train the necessary operations personnel in support of the respective annex(es).
5. Assign the appropriate department/agency personnel to the Emergency Operations Staff as provided in Attachment B, Annex 1, and inform the State Emergency Management Director of the assignments.
6. Provide for procurement and management of resources necessary for pre-attack emergency operations. If nuclear attack occurs, resources will be managed by the State Disaster Coordinator in accordance with national policy, and the Georgia Emergency Management of Resources Plan.
C. The Emergency Coordinator of each department/agency of state government is responsible for maintaining total department/agency awareness of the overall nuclear preparedness program of the state, and has authority to act on behalf of the agency in time of emergency.
D. Support agencie~, military, quasi-governmental, and/or private, may be incorporated into the state emergency operations planning process as needed and/or available. Military support, when required, will be obtained in accordance with procedures provided by the Office of the State Adjutant General.
VI I. EFFECTIVE DATE
This plan is effective immediately and in conjunction with the State of Georgia Natural Disaster Operations Plan, 1978, supersedes the State of Georgia Emergency and Disaster Operations Plan dated 16 May 1974.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN ANNEX 1: DIRECTION AND CONTROL
I. INTRODUCTION
Direction and control of a nuclear attack emergency affecting the citizens of Georgia will be exercised by the Governor through the State Disaster Coordinator (Director of Emergency Management). The personnel, facilities, and equipment for decision making and initiating action appropriate to respond to the threat of nuclear attack, or actual nuclear attack, are located in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of the State of Georgia, and the Emergency Operations Centers of various political subdivisions of the state.
I I. PURPOSE
To provide for operational direction and control in the coordination of state and local resources available for, or committed to, minimizing the effects of the threat of, or actual nuclear attack, upon the United States and affecting the citizens of Georgia.
III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
In emergency situations or instances of Increased Readiness Operating Conditions (OPCONS) (Attachment A), direction and control will be exercised by the State Disaster Coordinator from the State Emergency Operations Center located at 935 East Confederate Avenue, S.E., Atlanta, Georgia. At the discretion of the State Disaster Coordinator, with the concurrence of the Governor, direction and control may be exercised at an alternate site other than from the State Emergency Operations Center.
A. Pre-Emergency Ore~ations
1. During non-emergency periods, the State Emergency Operations Center will be maintained in operational readiness by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA). This will incluce the maintenance of equipment, supplies, and operational aids necessary for partial or complete activation of the EOC.
2. Periodic tests, as determined by the State Disaster Coordinator, will be conducted to test the capability of the EOC, the validity of this plan, and to provide training for personnel assigned emergency response duties in the Emergency Operations Center.
B. Emergency Operations
1. The State Emergency Operations Center will be activated when directed by the State Director of Emergency Management. Staffing of the EOC is outlined in Attachment B. Decisions regarding the use of the EOC, and the extent to which it will be manned, will
1-1

'

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984

be made by the State Emergency Management Director. In his absence or disability for any reason, these decisions v1ill be made by the Deputy Emergency Management Director.
2. During a nuclear emergency, state departments/agencies will perform emergency functions in support of local government as provided in this plan. In the event local governments cannot cope with the emergency situation, the State Disaster Coordinator, under the direction of the Governor, may assume direct operational control over all or any necessarv part of the emergency operations functions within the state, as the emergency situation permits, until such time as local government emergency response capabilities have been reestablished.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN ANNEX 5: IN-PLACE PROTECTION PLANNING
I. INTRODUCTION
This annex outlines the Georgia Emergency Management Agency's concept of operations, responsibility and direction and control necessary for the in-place protection of the population from radioactive fallout in the event of a nuclear attack upon the United States. This protection is provided through the development of local In-Place Protection Plans (IPP), as part of the National Fallout Shelter Program.
II. PURPOSE
The objective of the National Fallout Shelter Program is to provide the entire population of the United States with protection from radioactive fallout that could result from nuclear attack. The purpose of this annex is to establish policy pertaining to the development of local In-Place Protection Plans, the local implementation of the national program, and to provide state-wide guidance in the development of such plans.
III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
The federal government has conducted exhaustive studies which show that with a minimum radiation protection factor (PF) of 40 (radiation received in shelter would be only l/40th, or 2~ percent, of that outside), more than 90 percent of the people surviving the direct effects of a nuclear attack on the United States, and who otherwise would die from the effects of radioactive fallout without shelter, could survive.
The federal government has established and maintains the National Fallout Shelter Program. This program is designed to insure maximum protection of the population by conducting shelter surveys. These surveys include identification of the best available blast protection locations, and facilities (shelters) capable of being upgraded to an acceptable fallout protection factor (PF) status in addition to identified fallout protection shelters. State and local governments are then provided with a list of the public shelters that have been located.
The National Fallout Shelter Program consists of four major activities:
A. Identification, through survey, of shelter in existing structures.
B. Development of an In-Place Protection Plan (IPP) for use of shelters and the best protected space currently available in case of nuclear attack emergency.
C. Preparation of public shelter for occupancy. This is a local res pons i bi 1ity.
5-1

D. Development of required additional shelter to meet the present and long-range needs of local populations. This is a local responsibility.
Local direction and control, with limited state-level assistance during the in-shelter mode, is expected during the attack and immediate post-attack situation.
The operations necessary for the performance of this function include but are not limited to:
A. Pre-Emergency Operations
l. Assist local governments in the allocation of population of jurisdictions to shelters identified by the National Fallout Shelter Survey.
2. Provide local political jurisdictions with ready-print copy of the Emergency Public Information (EPI) material that includes the emergency instructions for in-place public shelter and expedient home shelters to implement local plans.
3. Provide guidance for training local personnel selected by local government, who, in turn, will train other local personnel in the management and staffing of local shelters.
4. Provide technical advice and assistance in the development of local In-Place Protection Plans.
5. Provide guidance to local governments for protection of the population where there is a deficit of fallout shelter space. This is accomplished through encouragement of the use of home shelters, and through distribution of various publications to educate the public on how to construct expedient shelters.
B. Emergency Operations
1. Provide advance notification of expected or impending nuclear attack upon the United States.
2. Assist local government in publishing and distributing emergency public information material.
3. Provide technical and material assistance, wherever possible, for upgrading fallout shelters when time permits.
4. Direct relocation of the population into community fallout shelters, as required, if local government has not already done so.
5. Maintain communications with local government after citizens have been relocated to fallout shelters, within capabilities.
5-2

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
6. Provide emergency public information concerning the attack situation, and post-attack radiation levels, wherever possible.
C. Post-Emergency Operations
1. Provide on a continuous basis radioactive fallout data, available at the state level, affecting local areas.
2. Provide information when residents can leave fallout shelters.
3. Coordinate local recovery operations anJ t'eturn to normal operations.
IV. RESPONSIBILITY
A. The Department of Defense, Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA), is responsible for coordinating operations by this annex. Plans and operations will be coordinated with appropriate state and local agencies. The State Disaster Coordinator, acting for the Governor, will issue implementing instructions as necessary.
B. Local governments will develop In-Place Pl'otection Plans, and provide the direction and control, and trained personnel, to implement once movement to fallout shelter is necessitated.
V. DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A. Pre-Emergency Operations
During normal peacetime operations prior to an attack situation, the State Disaster Coordinator, through GEMA, is responsible for assisting in preparations and review of local plans, individual training, inventory of sheltP~ spaces, and coordination with other state agencies.
B. Emergency Operations
During the emergency situation, immediate pre-attack, trans-attac~ and immediate post-attack, local government is responsible for the direction and control and operation of local fallout shelters. Requests for assistance will be routed through the State Emergency Operating Center where they will be acted upon within the capability of response under a general radioactive fallout situation.
VI. SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS
All state departments/agencies having a capability of providing support to local In-Place Protection Planning functions described herein will provide such support to local governments as requested and available.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCATION
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Crisis relocation is the temporary relocation of residents of possible target areas (risk) to areas at low risk (host) during threat of a nuclear attack and/or when peacP.time disasters of any type threaten.
B. Current US National Defense Policy does not recognize the threat of surprise nuclear attack as primary; however, it does not rule out the possibility of such an attack. nor the effects of chem;ical, biological, or conventional weapons. It also recognizes that the development of a National Fallout Shelter System is the core of Civil Defense emergency preparedness. This annex outlines the alternative to save lives through the relocation of residents of possible target areas (risk), to areas not considered to be targets, and of low risk areas (host). Thus, two basic strategies exist to maximize saving of human life:
1. In-Place Protection- This option provides the population with the best available 11 in-place 11 protection at or near their residence during a surprise attack, or an attack of short warning. The Community Shelter Program has been designed to support this strategy. (See Annex 5)
2. Relocation - The strategic option of relocating the population from likely nuclear target areas is based on the premise that nuclear attack upon the United States would most probably occur after a ~eriod of intense international crisis, rather than by surprise attack. Thus, Crisis Relocation Plans are developed providing the alternative capability of saving human life through moving persons to a relatively safe area.
C. In a period of developing international tension or crisis, relocating residents from high risk areas could greatly increase their chances of avoiding blast, heat and fire effects of a nuclear attack. Conditions, other than nuclear war, under which this annex may be applicable include a hostile ultimatum by any nuclear power, a major conventional war, a nuclear threat by a clandestine group, or a threat of localized natural disaster.
D. There are ten risk areas in Georgia, as determined by studies of the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency. These ten areas, associated host areas, and population data are outlined in Attachment A. The combination of the risk area and associated host areas is called a 11 COnglomerate 11 Detailed risk area and host area plans will be prepared to implement the guidance contained in this annex, to insure the orderly evacuation of the risk areas, and provide for the reception and care of evacuees in the host areas.
6-1

E. This annex and the supporting appendices outline the State of Georgia concept of operations, and the direction and control necessary for the coordinated performance of the function of Crisis Relocation in time of an emergency. This constitues the Georgia Crisis Relocation Plan. This annex is to be used in conjunction with existing disaster preparedness plans of departments and agencies of the State of Georgia as well as private organizations therein. The functions of government, the economy, law and order, and the daily activities of citizens of this state have inherent implicit or explicit ~lan~ for meeting emergency situations. This annex outlines gentr'al and specific guidance for Crisis Relocation. Detailed plans for implementation of Crisis Relocation will be prepared for each risk/host area.
F. Assumptions -The following assumptions concerning Crisis Relocation pertain:
1. A nuclear attack upon the United States would occur after several days or more of intense international crisis, rather than by surprise.
2. Although relocation of the risk area populations will be directed, how many will follow instructions remains unknown. Nevertheless, the full number of relocatees must be provided for, either in host counties or in designated shelters in risk areas.
3. Some portion of the risk area population, estimated to be between 10 and 20 percent, can be expected to leave during an intense crisis prior to any advice or order to relocate. Some of these spontaneous evacuees may relocate at random in the host areas. Their numbers and identity will be largely unknown
4. Initial relocation movement will be completed in a period not to exceed three days and can take place on a 24-hour per day basis. The primary mode of transportation will be by private1y owned vehicles, augmented by buses, trucks, etc., under the control of the various local governments of the state as provided for in risk/host area plans.
5. The minimum planned relocation period will be seven days. The maximum could be several weeks.
6. Each relocating family will be instructed by risk area officials to take sufficient bedding and clothing for the immediate family, any special medicines needed, and food for the first three days.
7. Resources, facilities and services available in and to the host areas will be taxed to the limit of capability in providing for the increased population. Conservation of resources will be required, to include rationing if necessary.
6-2

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
8. The relocation period may be terminated by either a peaceful resolution of the crisis or by nuclear attack on the United States.
9. Cooperation of public and private organizations and residents of host areas and relocated families and individuals is likely during a crisis.
II. PURPOSE
A. The purpose of this annex and supporting ~roendices is to provide for the human needs and protection of all the people of the state, resident and relocated; to maintain and support essential production and service activities during the relocation period; to support the activities of local governments; and to maximize survival and preservation of property in the event of nuclear attack.
B. This annex establishes the responsibilities, policies, and provisions to perform an orderly movement of the population from the ten designated risk areas in Georgia to lower-risk host counties when Crisis Relocation is directed.
C. Annex 5 provides for the protection of the population in public fallout shelters in accordance with In-Place Protection Plans. These plans are implemented by local governments when directed by the Governor. This annex provides for evacuation of the population from high risk areas under crisis relocation conditions.
III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. Virtually every state department/agency having a peacetime, noncrisis role in the government of the state will have a role to play in a Crisis Relocation situation. Some agencies will be far more involved than others. Those members of government who carry out responsibilities on a daily basis will be assumed to be capable of carrying them out under an emergency situation. This annex develops the major responsibilities of the various departments/agencies of the state government. All segments of the government will contriGute in some way toward the Crisis Relocation operation, but only major responsibilities are addressed.
B. Under the provisions of Section 38-3-52, Georgia Emergency Management Act of 1981, the Governor is authorized to direct the removal of the seat of government during an emergency. As the situation warrants, he may, by proclamation, declare an emergency temporary location, or locations, for the seat of government within or without the state.
1. The temporary location(s) shall remain as the seat of government until the legislature shall by law establish a new location{s) or until the emergency or disaster is declared to be ended by the Governor, and the seat of government is returned to its normal location.
6-3

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
2. During such time as the seat of government remains at such emergency temporary location(s), all official acts now or hereafter required by law to be performed at the seat of government by any officer, agency, department or authority in this state, including the convening and meeting of the legislature, shall be as valid and binding when performed at such emergency temporary location, or locations, as if performed at the normal location of the seat of government.
3. The Governor will determine the altPrnate site for state government, to include executive, legi~l-tive and judicial branches, based upon an analysis of the situation and relative low risk of a relocation site.
C. Maintenance of law and order and as reasonable a state of norn1alcy as possible are primary goals under Crisis Relocation. The Georgia Emergency Management Act of 1981, prescribes that the Governor, during the period that a state of emergency exists or continues, is authorized to designate and assign any and all peace officers and law enforcement personnel of the state and its instrumentalities to enforce the penal and criminal laws of the state in the area(s) in which a state of emergency or disaster has been declared to exsit by the Governor. Peace officers and law enforcement personnel will have full authority to enforce the criminal and penal laws of this state, notwithstanding any limitation provided otherswise by law on their authority. In order to insure peace and tranquility and maintenance of law and order during a Crisis Relocation, it is intended to exercise this power of the Governor in relation to the role of peace and law enforcement officers.
D. Relocation of the population from the risk areas to the host counties will occur only at the direction of the Governor, generally at the reque~L of or on the order of the President of the United States. It is anticipated that an advance warning of at least six hours will be provided by the federal government to the state government that crisis relocation is being implemented, and advance warning will be passed to the local risk/host area governments. Previously prepared emergency public information will inform the public on what to do. A three day period of time is anticipated in order to relocate the population.
E. The State Disaster Coordinator will advise local authorities of the possibility that a Crisis Relocation will be ordered when Increased Readiness Condition (OPCON) 3 has been set by the State Disaster Coordinator or upon receipt of information that the President intends to implement crisis relocation. (Attachment A, Annex 1, OPCONS) Final preparations for movement and reception, short of instructions to the public, may be undertaken at that time. Advance parties from organizations assigned to host areas will relocate upon this advice to aid in preparing to receive relocatees.
F. Essential facilities must continue to operate in the risk area in order to supply necessary health and survival items. As a minimum,
6-4

the following essential facilities will continue:
1. Military establishments engaged in immediate retaliatory or defense operations.
2. All public utilities to include electric power, water, gas, communications and designated public news media facilities.
3. Industrial plants producing or processing essential items for survival.
4. Major wholesale establishments stocking or distributing essential items.
5. Transportation systems providing essential service.
6. Civil Defense, fire units, and police organizations in the number and configuration required to provide security within the risk area.
7. Other commercial or government enterprises as determined and directed by the risk area chief executive.
G. Designation of essential facilities must be made at the local level, and will be detailed in the risk/host county plans. Planning must provide for identification of key workers (those essential to keep the facility in operation) and for their relocation into nearby host areas, leaving the risk area after performing daily duties, and returning the next day. Also, risk area fallout and blast shelter protection must be provided in the event that key workers lack sufficient time to relocate, upon notification of imminent attack.
H. As the situation dictates, the use of essential resources available to the state w111 be controlled by the state through issuance of allocation orders, establishment of allowable use rates and specification of relative priorities. Previously developed plans for these options will be put into effect.
I. Upon announcement of the Crisis Relocation order by the Governor, all private and governmental activities not designated essential will suspend operations. Noncritical workers evacuating from risk areas may be utilized in support of host area business activity. The manufacture and distribution of essential goods, and the provisions of essential services, will be managed and conducted by the normal owners/management/agencies of the businesses concerned.
J. Essential workers will operate on two 12-hour shifts daily, commuting to and from adjacent close-in host areas.
K. Host county PF Category 2+ fallout shelter spaces will generally be reserved for the resident population.
L. The relocated risk area population will be sheltered and cared for in nonresidential facilities in host counties (i.e., congregate
6-5

c~.e facilities; surplus PF 1+ and 2+ fallout shelters: upgradable shelters; and in expedient shelters, in that order).
M. A hosting ratio of two relocatees or less for each host resident (2.1) will be adhered to where feasible.
N. Mutual aid agreements between risk area governments and host area governments to augment the capabilities of host areas are encouraged.
0. M~nagement of primary (interstate-producer-rli~tributor-wholesaler) resources will be a federal responsibility.
P. Management of secondary (retail-local) resources will be a state and local political subdivision responsibility through the emergency organization or organizational grouping of those agencies responsible during normal operations.
Q. Return of the relocated population to their homes following resolution of the crisis will occur at the direction of the Governor.
R. Public information activities will be conducted in accordance with Annex 3, Emergency Public Information, as supplemented by Attachment B, this annex.
IV. RESPONSIBILITY
This annex will be ordered into execution by the Governor of the State of Georgia and will be implemented by the State Civil Defense Director/ State Disaster Coordinator. All agencies of the government of the State of Georgia will carry out responsibilities as outlined in the various appendices to this annex, and in existing department/agency/ local government plans and Standing Operating Procedures.
V. DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A. Coordination wit~ all appropriate departments and agencies will be performed to insure emergency operational readiness. Appropriate Standing Operating Procedures will be maintained by departments/ agencies having primary or support responsibility for Crisis Relocation functions. All other state departments/agencies will be prepared to take necessary action to support this annex. Operation plans to implement Crisis Relocation are being prepared for each risk and host area in the State of Georgia. These plans contain detailed guidance and instructions for implementation of all aspects of relocation and hosting based on the guidance contained in this annex.
3. The State Disaster Coordinator, under the direction of the Governor, is responsible for the effective and orderly operations concerning relocation of the populations from designated risk areas in the state to predetermined host counties.
6-6

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
C. Upon receipt of an order to relocate the population from risk area(s), the Chief Executive of each risk area government is responsible for the orderly evacuation of the population from their respective risk area to designated host areas.
D. The Chief Executive of each host county is responsible for the reception and care of the relocatees allocated to their respective county.
E. When the Governor has directed the return nf relocatees to their homes, the Chief Executive of each host county is responsible for assisting relocatees in the return movement.
F. Overall direction and control of Crisis Relocation will be executed by the Governor through the State Disaster Coordinator and then through existing department/agency and local government structures.
G. Direction and control of all phases of Crisis Relocation from the state level will be accomplished through the State Emergency Operations Center and will be coordinated by local government/Civil Defense personnel in the risk/host areas.
VI. SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS All state departments/agencies will provide support to Crisis Relocation activities as provided in the functional appendices to this annex.
VII. EFFECTIVE DATE This annex is effective for planning immediately and for execution upon order of the Governor or the State Disaster Coordinator.

EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984 ATTACHMENT B

I. INTRODUCTION
This attachment supplements Annex 3 (Emergency Public Information) and prescribes responsibilities and actions required to inform citizens of the State of Georgia of instructions and guidance essential for Crisis Relocation operations. Accurate and timely information and instructions to the public are essential if the populace is to understand the need for self-help and cooperation with authorities.
II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this attachment is to delineate responsibilities, guidance and actions to be taken to provide emergency information to the citizens of Georgia throughout the period of Crisis Relocation. Instructions will be patterned by communication means, by audience, and by geographic area involved in different phases of activity.

Crisis Relocation operations are expected to be initiated by the President of the United States. When a nuclear crisis situation reaches the stage that the President deems it advisable, he is expected to use national radio and television networks (or the Emergency Broadcast System) to inform the general public of the national and international context of the crisis. At this time, he is expected to outline when and where evacuation, take cover or relocation operations will take place. Further, it is expected that any immediate orders pertaining to rationing of resources and ecc~01nic restrictions will be announced at the same time. These actions will trigger a continuous flow of instructions, orders and information through the departments and agencies of the federal government as described in other appendices of this Crisis Relocation Plan.
B. State Government
In response to the Presidential order/request, the Governor will follow the President, citing his own legal authority to order Crisis Relocation operations. The Governor is then responsible, through the State Disaster Coordinator, for informing the public of emergency operations in connection with Crisis Relocation. (Tab 1). These actions will be carried out through the state staff, departments and agencies.
C. Local Government
The Chief Executive of each political subdivision, operating under the guidance and general direction of the State Disaster Coordinator, is responsible for:
1. General (all)

2. All levels of government will follow the CRP Emergency Information Principles and Guidance for the State of Georgia (Tab 2).

3. The emphasis and time-phased use of various communication media will conform to the Synopsis of Requirements (Tab 3).

4. The most powerful electronic media (AM radio and TV) in all conglomerates are located in the largest city in the risk area. These facilities will assume a lead emergency information role fc~ each conglomerate. Details concerning designation of lead and alternate stations are contained in the State of Georgia EBS Plan.

VI. SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS

Support in insuring an adquate flow of emergency information and

TAB 2 ATTACHMENT B
CRP EMERGENCY INFORMATION PRINCIPLES AND GUIDANCE
1. The essential key to providing Crisis Relocation information to the public is the appointment of a local Public Information Officer responsible for joint emergency information planning with local media.
2. An Emergency Information Center proximate to the EOC is a basic local requirement.
3. The single most important emergency information problem is to insure the publication of accurate reliable information and instructions.
4. Selection of a minimum number of information channels is important in insuring accurate non-conflicting sources of information.
5. A variety of mutually reinforcing electronic and print media are required to get the story out to the various audiences in either risk or host areas.
6. Print media should be used to provide detailed information. Since most initial detail will be pre-planned, it must of necessity be generalized. Supplements must be incorporated in planning to relay specifics of the current threat, or to relay last minute revisions, or to reinforce pre-planned material.
7. Radio and television should be used to provide real time guidance, feed back, and reinforcement.
8. In the use of radio and television, there should be frequent interspersion of station iJentifiers together with an identification of the audience or area being addressed.
9. Replication and redundancy of information and instructions will be essential to effective communications during CRP.
10. The substance of instructions and directives to the public must originate at an official government source.
11. All information should be as complete and realistic as possible, and should be presented in a manner to provide reassurance.
12. Routine television and radio programming should be terminated during the immediate preparation and relocation period.
13. The public communications sytem should include the capability for providing attack warning at any time throughout the telocation period.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCATION APPENDIX A: POLICE SERVICES
I. INTRODUCTION
Effective law enforcement, to include traffic control and control of persons, is essential in order for Crisis Relor~ti~n to take place with a minimum of confusion and turmoil. Local ldw enforcement officials are responsible for enforcement of laws, traffic control, investigation of crimes, and other law and order activities within their jurisdictions. Only upon commitment of all local resources can state assets be made available. State assets which may be committed are primarily those of the Georgia State Patrol and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, with support from several other state departments/agencies further identified herein.
I I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this appendix is to establish responsibility for law and order functions during a period of Crisis Relocation; to provide for traffic control, crowd control, protection of Very Important Persons (VIPs}, and other functions of local and state law enforcement agencies during such a period.
III. RESPONSIBILITY
The Sheriff in a county, or Chief of Police in a municipality, is responsible for law enforcement activities within his jurisdication. Only when all local resources are exhausted will state law enforcement personnel and equipme~t be requested. At that time, a member of the Georgia State Patrol will be assigned to coordinate state activities with the local law enforcement official in charge.
A. Federal agencies will play little or no additional roles in law enforcement activities during a Crisis Relocation period. Those enforcement and investigatory activities which are normally carried out by federal agencies will be continued insofar as the situation will allow.
B. State law enforcement assets will continue to be controlled through the norma1 chain of corrmand, however, wi 11 be responsive to the needs of the State Disaster Coordinator in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety Emergency Coordinator. State assets will be made available to local law enforcement chiefs upon request, depending upon availability. Personnel of the Georgia State Patrol will be made available from troops not in risk/host areas as well as from those located in or adjacent to areas to be evacuated.
6-A-1

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
C. Local Government
l. Plan for employment of local law enforcemer.t personnel and equipment in conjunction with the local EMA/CD Director.
2. Train local law enforcement personnel in special operations required by Crisis Relocation.
3. Identify personnel who will perform as auxiliary police or security personnel, and train them 1r1 :'fe'tjir't:J functions.
4. Identify in risk/host area plans the precise location for traffic control posts, road blocks, route control personnel, and others required to effect the orderly evacuation from risk areas and the orderly reception into host areas of vehicular traffic.
5. Be prepared to post necessary signs on routes and for evacuation/reception.
6. Identify local equipment assets which will be required to support local plans.
7. Identify any deficiencies that must be filled by other than local risk/host area assets.
8. In those areas in which relocatees will pass through non-host counties while traveling from the risk area to assigned host areas, risk area officials will coordinate with law enforcement officials in the non-host areas to insure effective traffic control along the assigned evacuation routes.
9. Coordinate all of the above with the State Patrol Troop(s) assigned to the area(s) encompassing the risk/host area conglomerate.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. The primary resources available from the State of Georgia to support law enforcement activities during a crisis relocation period are the assets of the Georgia State Patrol and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, both under the control of the Georgia Department of Public Safety. Both organizations will retain their autonomy and their normal chain of command under crisis relocation.
B. The Georgia State Patrol has approximately 650 uniformed patrol personnel assigned to nine (9) troops located throughout the state. Approximately 650 vehicles, all radio equipped, and 14 aircraft, both fixed and rotary wing, are available.
C. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation will continue to perform assigned functions. Further, it will be responsible to the needs of the Georgia State Patrol in any area in which the patrol is committed for Crisis Relocation duties.
6-A-2

0, When local assets have been fully committed, the local Sheriff or Chief of Police may request state assistance through the State Disaster Coordinator. At that time, a member of the Georgia State Patrol will be assigned to coordinate state activities with the local law enforcement official in charge.
E. The local law enforcement agency in command will retain direction and control.
F. The Department of Public Safety will coordinate directly with
the local law enforcement agency in control ar.d will coordinate activities for all other law enforcement agencies involved.
V. EXECUTION
A. Traffic Control. Members of the Georgia State Patrol, when assigned to duty in a Crisis Relocation area, will provide assistance in directing traffic over whatever route assigned. Aircraft organic to the State Patrol will be used for route reconnaissance on a routine basis to detect traffic tie-ups and radio information to local officials on the ground. State Patrol personnel will coordinate any additional requirements at the local level, and will ;nt~grate their efforts with local police/auxiliary police/traffic control effort. The principle purpose of traffic control personnel will be to effect the efficient movement of all traffic from initial points in the risk areas to reception areas in the host area, and to provide information to relocatees as necessary to insure smooth movement of traffic. Local assets will be required for road clearance in event of breakdowns or traffic accidents. The State Patrol can be utilized to pass information from one point to another via their radio capability, or through the communications capability of the aircraft which may be committed in the area.
B. Crowd Control. The primary purpose of crowd control is to protect people and property and prevent damage or injury. In the event that crowd control operations are necessary or directed, the areas to be safeguarded should be cordoned and ingress and egress carefully controlled. All traffic and criminal laws will be enforced, and crimes committed in the area will be investigated by the appropriate law enforcement authority. At the first indication that a situation may get out of hand, the Georgia State Patrol should be requested, through the State Disaster Coordinator, to provide assistance.
1. The law enforcement agency in command will retain direction and control. The Georgia Department of Public Safety will coordinate directly with the local law enforcement agency in control and will coordinate activities for all other law enforcement agencies involved.
2. Crowd control operations may be necessary if panic should occur in a Crisis Relocation situation. The most likely areas for this situation would be in reception areas and congregate care facilities where very large numbers of relocatees will process or be assigned. Local plans should consider this eventuality,
6-A-3

and provisions made to react to such a situaticn.
C. Protection of VIPs. The normal mission of protection of VIPs in the State of Georgia assigned to the Georgia State Patrol wi~ l continue in effect.
1. Personnel who receive protection i1ring nonnal conditions wil i continue to receive pr-otectior: 111 tht: same 111anner.
2. Should a threat be made against an .,,.,~. Lctnt person who would be authorized protection, such protection will be provided upon order of the Public Safety Commissioner.
3. Should VIPs of another state or the federal government be i11 the area during Crisis Relocdtion, and remain in the area, protection will be afforded as required, dependent upon the type and numbers of persons or other agencies who are provi d l<!c; protection at the time Crisis Relocation is ordered.
D. Evacuation. The Georgia State Patrol is authorized to compel total evacuation upon order of the Gover11or. During Crisis Relocation, it is not anticipated that the Governor will order total evacuation, since a certain number of key workers must rema1n in each risk area, or commute, to keep essential facilities operational. However, if it is determined to be in the best interests of the state and the Governor so orders, the State Patrol is authorized to carry out total evacuation.
VI. SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS
A. Support for law and order functions is required of all departments/ agencies invol::::.,; in normal operations. The same type of support will be tequired during a Crisis Relocation situation, however, on an expedited basis. Unusual support requirements will be levied by the State Disaster Coordinator through the Public Safety COPlmissioner. Support will be required from the following agencies, ~~ a minimum.
:l
l. Department of Offender Rehabilitation- personnel and equipment.
2. Forestry Commission - personnel, equipment, and land and air transportation.
3. Georgia Bureau of Investigation - personnel, facilities, equipment, and land transportation.
4. Department of Natural Resources (Game and Fish) - personnel, facilities, equipment, transportation, and communications.
5. Department of Revenue- personnel, facilities and equipment.
6. Department of Transportation - personnel, facilities and equipment.
6-A-4

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
7. Department of Defense - personnel, facilities, equipment, air and land transportation, and communications.
8. Department of Administrative Services - personnel, communications, and supplies.
9. Board of Regents, University System - transportation and personnel.
B. Departments/agencies should not construe res~or.sP ~s limited to items specified, if they have a capability to provide an expanded support role.
VII. DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A. The local law enforcement agency in command will retain direction and control at the local level.
B. The State Disaster Coordinator, in the Emergency Operations Center, will direct and control the overall law and order aspects of c~isis Relocation through the Public Safety Department Emergency Coordinator, located in the EOC.
C. The Department of Public Safety will coordinate directly with the local law enforcement agencies in control and will coordinate activities for all other law enforcement agencies involved. While the Department of Public Safety will be the prime coordinator, each department/agency will maintain autonomy during Crisis Relocation.
D. Communication will be through the Emergency Operations Center, police radio nets, and the Law Enforcement Data System.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCATION APPENDIX B: FOOD SUPPORT
I. INTRODUCTION
This appendix prescribes the responsibilities, guidelines, concept of operations and direction and control essential to supply food to the citizens of Georgia during a period of crisis relocation directed by national and state governing authorities.
I I. PURPOSE
A. To assure that the available food within the state is provided and distributed equitably, and that food wi11 be available throughout the crisis period.
B. To establish responsibilities and policies for the operation of the food support system throughout the crisis period.
C. To support the Department of Human Resources in providing direct support to local health and medical services in maintaining sanitary conditions for food storage, distribution, and preparation.
I I I. BACKGROUND
The process of managing food supplies in the state under cr1s1s relocation conditions, involves an interlocking set of responsibilities and activities involving all levels of government and the food industry. The following sets forth expected federal government action in emergency management and supply of food under crisis relocation conditions.
A. USDA is res~onsible for developing, directing, and coordinating the national food effort and for carrying out the food functions of the federal government. USDA emergency responsibilities cover all food stocks and agricultural resources involved in the production, processing, storage and distribution of food supplies frc.n production through the wholesale level. USDA is also responsible for seed and livestock feed at all levels including retail. By agreement with USDA, the U.S. Department of the Interior is responsible for the development and administration of programs relating to the production and processing of fish and fishery products.
B. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Food and Drug Administration) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are jointly responsible, within their respective commodity areas, for preparing, coordinating and carrying out emergency plans to assure the safety and wholesomeness of the national food supply. Responsibilities are divided as follows:
6-B-1

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
1. USDA for (a) meat and meat products and poultry and poultry products in establishments under the continuous inspection of USDA, (b) agricultural commodities on farms or t'.lnches, and (c) agricultural commodities and products owned by an agency of or within USDA.
2. Department of Health and Human Services for all other food commodities.
C. The federd 1 government is responsible for work i nq with the food industry to assure needed production, rrocessing, and distt'ibuti:i of food in primary inventories to meet es::.t.:. l ial needs of the surviving population of the United States. The U.S. Departmrnt of Agriculture, State and County E:nergency Bodrds carry out these federal food responsibilities in their respective jurisdictions.
D. In an emergency, the USDA Emergency Boards work with producers, pt~ocessors, and wholesalet'S to consfrv~~ and direct food suppl lee; available from these sources to where they are most needed. These boards are authorized to make supplies of food available from "primary" sources (1) to the state for feeding the civilian population (after distribution controls are in effect), (2) the Department of Defense, (3) for essenti1l industrial uses, and (4) for meeting other urgent needs outside the state.
E. USDA issues orders controlling primary food resources. The initial orders permit the free flow of certai~ types of food, chiefly perishables, restrict the flow of such storable foods as canned goods, place specific limitations on the flow of foods likely to be in extremely short supply, and limit the distribution of the remaining foods to specified percentages of preemergency rates. This system permits the food industry to continue the orderly conduct of regular business to the extent possible under the circumstances.
F. USDA authorizes food facilities whose stocks are under USDA control to continue food deliveries to regular customers, both intrastate and interstate. These deliveries are subject to the appropriate control orders, and will begin as soon as adequate state or local food rationing and distribution controls are in effect. In the event of breakdown in commercial operations, the USDA State Emergency Board arranges through USDA Headquarters for the shipment of food into the state to make up local deficiencies in food supplies. Where direction from higher authority is unavailable, the board makes these arrangements with its counterparts in other states. The USDA will usually channel the food received into the wholesale distribution system.
G. USDA County Emergency Boards will work with local governments to obtain supplies of requisites needed for food production, processing, storage, and distribution. Where essential needs cannot be met, the USDA County Emergency Board will advise the USDA State Emergency Board of the problem. The USDA State Emergency Board works with appropriate federal agencies and state government officials to obtain necessary assistance.
6-B-2

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
IV. RESPONSIBILITY
State and local government roles in emergency management and supply of food under crisis relocation conditions follow:
A. State Government
1. The Commissioner of Agriculture develops, in cooperation with other departments/agencies of the state government and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and provides, on behalf of the Governor, policies and guidance for the control of secondary food resources consistent wit:; federal and state objectives. The purpose of these policies and guidance is to assure application throughout the state of measures compatible with national plans for the conservation, distribution, and use of secondary inventories of food to prevent their dissipation and waste and to assure that essential needs for food are identified and met within the supplies of food available to the state.
2. The Commissioner of Agriculture also is directly responsible for state controlled wholesalers and processors stocks. Through the Emergency Food Services Officer, using the resources of the State Department of Agriculture, and in conjunction with the USDA State Emergency Board, he issues all policies, orders and instructions relative to use or sale of secondary food and furnishes guidance to those secondary wholesalers and processors pertaining to the conservation and release of inventories and instructs them on the method to obtain resupply of their stocks from primary sources.
3. The Commissioner of Agriculture, acting within the framework of the USDA N~tional Emergency Maximum Food Distribution Allowan~e. receives and acts upon requests for assistance fron1 local government officials. He then arranges for deliveries of food out of secondary stocks to correct local shortages in supply. Upon a showing of necessity and evidence of effectl,P rationing, USDA may be requested to arrange for additional supplies. As soon as possible, the State Disaster Coordinator anticipates future continuing needs for food in the state and requests the USDA to make arrangements with the primary industry to provide food to meet ongoing needs in the state.
4. Food facilities, under state jurisdiction, obtain uncontrolled requisites from their normal suppliers in the usual manner. If requisites are controlled, operators of such food establishments go to their local government control agency for requisites such as petroleum, fuel, manpower, electric power, transportation, and other items controlled by these local civil authorities. To the extent possible, local civil authorities meet such needs. When requisites cannot be obtained in this manner, food handlers, subject to state control, request assistance from the State Disaster Coordinator. In conjunction with the Department of
6-B-3

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
Agriculture, the State Disaster Coordinator works with appropriate local civil agencies t0 develop the be t possible distribution of items in short supply, ann wnen necessary, requests the assistance of the USDA State Emergency Board in making add1tional quantities ot the needed requisites available. When it becomes pjssible, appropriate agencies will allocate additional ,e,lJisites to meet essential local need~ on a continuing basis Farmers, food processors and wrolesalers under USDA cuntrol, who are unable to obtain nect:-~"'Y'V t'nntrnlled requisites through local agencies, lliCl'l uuc.:nn assistance by contacting the USDA County Lmergency Board
B. Loca 1 Governments
The chief executi:e of each polit1r~al suhdivision, operc1t1nl.J under the guidance and general direct .,w nf the Cc>nlrnJ;',ionPt" of Agriculture, is responsible for:
1. Authorizing the ration level and the use level for all categories of consumers rationed items and other essentia survival items for the local community; when statPwide or national levels are established, adjust local tation and use levels accordingly.
2. Reporting to the Commissioner of Agriculture on the local supply requirements situation for food resources.
3. Determining needs for food for local civilian use.
4. Effecting emergency distribution and rationing controls over food for human consumption until a statewide or nationwide s;:tem can be established.
5. Conducting any mass feeding necessary within its jurisdiction
6. Providing police protection for food processing, food storag~ and food wholesale and retailing distribution facilities.
Food distributed to consumers, including food used in mass feeding, would be taken only from secondary supplies determined to be safe for human consumption. Distribution of food under local control should be at levels not in excess of the USDA National Emergency Maximum Food Distribution Allowance.
C. Food Wholesomeness
Under the emergency conditions of crisis relocation, assurance against consumption of contaminated food requires appropriate inspection and monitoring. In meat and poultry plants under USDA and state inspection, inspectors will determine the wholesomeness of the products they inspect. Persons now inspecting other foods for wholesomeness will continue to have this responsibility durir~'. crisis relocation. This inspection at the local and state levels
6-B-4

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
is by cooperative program arrangements with the State Department of Human Resources, which will provide guidance, standards, and plans for emergency inspection of these types of foods. None of the foregoing will preclude mutual assistance among the agencie~ concerned.
V. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. Under crisis relocation conditions, food production and distribution must continue, although under drastic~~ 1 y a~tered conditions of population distribution. During the expected build-up period of international tension preceding actual relocation, it is expected that national, state and local authorities would review inventories, status of manufacturing equipment and transportation fleets. Preceding or concurrent with the issuance of the relocation order by the Governor, at the request of the President, it is anticipated that a food freeze order and rationing instructions would be issued. As a part of the overall emergency situation, it is further expected that vehicle highway weight restrictions and restrictions on drivers would be waived. These actions would then establish the fram~work for guidance to local officials and USDA County Emergency Boards as well as the USDA State Emergency Board.
B. Crisis relocation of the risk area population will be mandatory. Principal mode of transportation will be private vehicles over a 72 hour period. Risk area populations will be directed to designated host counties.
C. Through emergency public information, relocatees will be encouraged to transport as much nonperishable food to the host area as possible consistent with available food stocks and means of transportation.
D. After, and d~~ing relocation, requirements for risk area goods and services will be drastically reduced. Essential activities plus those necessary for the preservation of life and property are the maximum expected. Critical workers will be located with their dependents in host counties adjacent to risk areas and will commute as required on a daily basis.
E. The duration of crisis relocation is expected to be a minimum of seven days, the maximum could be several weeks.
F. Food supply guidelines apply to all levels of activity and will be followed throughout the crisis relocation period (Tab 1).
G. Amounts of food supplied through the food support system will be based on, and conform to, USDA l~ational Emergency ~iaximum Food Distribution Allowance (Tab 2).
VI. EXECUTION
A. The USDA State Emergency Board in conjunction with USDA County Emergency Boards, working with producers, processors, major wholesalers and the Commissioner of Agriculture will conserve and
6-B-5

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
control food supplies available from primary sources. USDA State Emergency Board makes decisions on food supplies to be made available for:
1. Resupplying food in secondary sources for feeding the relocated population of the state.
2. Feeding in military installations.
3. For meeting urgent needs in other stattJ
4. Arranging where required for food shipments into the state to make up deficiencies.
B. The Corm1issioner of Agriculture, under the State Disaster Coordinator, using the entire organization of the State Department of Agriculture will :
1. Food Supply
a. Provide overall control of food suprly and distribution throughout the state.
b. Operate within food supply guidelines to maintain the supply of food within the state to meet the USDA National Emergency Maximum ~ood Uistribution Allowance by:
(1) Maintaining control of supply and procurement of food, monitoring supply and consumption levels, adjusting as required.
(2) Through contact with USDA County Emergency Boards, ~~form the food distribution industry of the numbers of people in the host and risk areas, the supplies of food, and of existing or potential problems (Georgia Food Redistribution Plan, Tab 3).
(3) Assist food supply and distribution industry in continued operations.
(4) Inform the USDA State Emergency Board of the food supply and distribution situation within the state, emphasizing anticipated problems.
2. Food Sanitation
Continue, and expand as necessary, to inspect food production, manufacture, transportation and sanitation to assure suitability for consumption and take necessary action to correct deficiencies.
C. The organization to operate the food supply system under crisis relocation conditions is shown at Tab 4.

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
GEORGIA STATE FOOD POLICY AND GUIDANCE
1. Background Information
The Governor of the State of Georgia has issued a general policy on the use of secondary food resources in the relocation period.
2. General
a. Essential food production and processing activities located in risk areas will be continued throughout the crisis relocation period. Host area agricultural production and processing will be continued, expanding through use of the relocatee work force where possible.
b. Designated risk area distribution warehouses will remain in operation throughout crisis relocation to continue supplying retail outlets in host areas. Changing supply patterns for these warehouses will be ordered by the state actinq in concert with the USDA and food industry representati:e:s.
c. Supplies to risk area retail outlets, except those designated to support the essential work force, wi'l be cut off. Relocatees are expected to draw down inventorie, in obtaining supplies to take to host areas.
d. Relocatees will be encouraged to transport as much nonperishable food to the host area as permitted by their transportation mode. Enough for three days will be specified.
e. Distributors will ship only full pallet loads, and full truck loads disregarding brand sensitivity.
3. Guidance for Local Governments
a. It is essential that food be carefully conserved and restricted to immediate and urgent needs for local, state, and national survival until the continuing supply of food that will be available for distribution can be determined.
b. In order to (1) prevent waste and dissipation of food in local secondary invontories, (2) provide r.u0plies of food to meet immediate and urgent needs, (3) assure rntinuing resupply of local secondary inventories of food, and 1 4) ration food to meet minimum essential needs of individual consumers, appropriate officials of local governments shall take the following actions:
(1) Announce restrictions on the use of commodities in critically short supply.
(2) Announce that the USDA National Emergency ~1aximum Food Distribution Allowance will be utilized as the qeneral quide for the distribution and use of food.
6-B-9

c. In the event resupply from primary suppliers of food is not
adequate to meet all essential needs, local governments should cut back authorized levels of distribution. Concurrently, they
should report shortages to the USDA County Emergency Board and request them to increase the supply of food to the local juris-
diction. When unable to obtain necessary quantities in this manner, request assistance of the State Emergency Board.

4. The following general guidelines apply throughout the State of Georgia to specified levels of activity throughout the food industry:

Risk Area Activities

USDA NATIONAL EMERGENCY MAXIMUM FOOD DISTRIBUTION ALLOWANCE
A. This is the allowance for food consumption for use by governmental authorities at all levels to assure the conservation and equitable distribution of the food supply to civilians. It establishes, for secondary food resources 1/ and mass feeding operations, a maximum distribution level of between 2,000 and 2,500 calories per person per day depending upon the foods available or selected. This allowance is compatible with the one to be used by food processors and wholesalers to assure conservation and equitable distribution of the food supply in a defense emergency under the terms and conditions of DFO No. 2. EXCEPTION: Milk and fresh fruits and vegetables are exempt.
B. This allowance contains three tables. 1. Table 1 shows the maximum food distribution allowance per person per week under emergency conditions. 2. Table 2 prescribes acceptable substitutions which may be made among foods in Table 1. 3. Table 3 prescribes the substitution rates for canned, dry, and concentrated foods when neither fresh and/nor frozen is available for distribution.

In utilizing the USDA National Emergency Maximum Food Distribution Allowance, the following shall be observed: 1. Special dietary foods and other special foods may be released by local
authorities as needed to provide diets for specific individuals as prescribed by recognized medical authorities. 2. Canned and packaged baby foods may be released for babies in accordance with special ration plans that may be developed by local civil authorities. (Since quantities available are likely to be limited, care should be exercised in development of such plans.) 3. Special military packaged rations shall be released only to the mi 1itary. 4. The allowance may be exceeded only after maximum substitutions have been made within the framework of the allowance and there still remain substantial quantities of food in danger of spoilage if not used immediately. 5. Canned meats (including fish and poultry) and canned mixed foods containing meat and canned cheese may be released or.~y if the total quantity of fresh, frozen, and cured items 1n the meat group that are available for distribution falls below 1~ lbs. per person per week. In such a case, sufficient quantities of these items may be released to increase the total of the meat group items to 2 lbs. per person per week. 6. Dr and canned milk (includin malted milk and all roducts _containing_ 50 ercent or more of dr milk will be released only for use by (a) children under six 6 years of age and (b) pregnant women and nursing mothers, and then only if the total supply of usable fresh milk that is available in the area is less than the amount that is necessary to supply these two groups with seven (7) pints per person per week. T11e amount of dry and canned items released will be only enough to make up the deficiency below seven (7) pints per woman or child in categories (a) and (b) above.

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
FOOD WAREHOUSES SERVING RISK AREA CONGLOMERATES*
With minor exceptions, the risk area conglomerates in Georgia are heavily dependent upon food supplies from distributors located outside Georgia. At the same time, distributors located in the Atlanta area supply a significant number of supermarkets in surrounding states. The present food supply system, thus. is marked by a high degree of interdependency among the states, particularlv those in the southeast.
The following is a brief description of the food distribution patterns as they exist for the State of Georgia risk conglomerates. Tables 1 and 2 are a summary of the food distributors serving Georgia supermarkets. The maps (Figures 1-9) portray the distribution system for each of the Georgia risk area conglomerates.
Albany (1301): This risk area conglomerate is served by fourteen major distributors. Half of these distributors are located in r,eorgia, and the other hc1lf are located in Florida (three in Jacksonville and one in Quincy), Alabama (two in Montgomery), and Tennessee (one in Nashville) (see Figure l ). One of the in-state distributors is located right in Albany, but the other six are scattered throughout the state. The distributors of greatest significance are located in Thomasville and Vidalia; they serve nine supermarkets apiece in the conglomerate. Overall, the Albany conglomerate has a very dispersed food supply pattern.
Atlanta (1302): The Atlanta risk area conglomerate has an extremely large ctnd complex food supply system. Twenty-six distributors from throughout Georgia and five other states serve 524 supermarkets. Almost 24% of these supermarkets are supplied by distributors located in Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee.
North C~rolina, and Illinois (see Figure 2).
In terms of supermarkets served, the largest out-of-state distributors are Kroger Company in Nashville, Tennessee (which serves 39 superw~rkets) and Suoer Valu Stores in Anniston, Alabama (34 supermarkets). Seven of ~he twelve Se~rci~ based distributors are located in the Atlanta metropolitan area. One of those. Alterman Foods Inc., serves 20% of the supermarkets in the conglo~erate; 1t is very significant that such a sizeable proportion of supermarkets is served by one of the distributors located in the conglomerate itself. The only unfortunate aspect of this is that the distributor is located within the risk area, and not in one of the host ~;ca counties. These seven Atlanta area distributors are extremely important as critical industries since they also serve so many other conglomerates in Georgia and in other southeastern states.

~U'It.l'ltJt.K JU, l':lijlf
Augusta (1303): Half of the supermarkets in this risk area conglomerate are supplied by distributors located outside of Georgia (see Figure 3). Twenty-three of these 30 supermarkets are served from four warehouses in South Carolina. Three of the supermarkets are served by the Kroger Company warehouse which is located in Nashville, Tennessee; it has one of the widest distribution sheds in the southeast. The remaining five supermarkets are serviced by two distributors from Florida and one from North Carolina. As for in-state distributors, there are two each located in Atlanta, and the other four are scattered throughout the state. The Piggly Wiggly southern warehouse in Vidalia appears to be the single most important food supplier to the conglomerate; it serves 12 supermarkets.
Brunswick (1304): Here again is another risk area conglomerate that is heavily dependent on food supply from distributors located outside of Georqia. Forty-three percent of the supermarkets in the conglomerate are served by ~ the three distributors located in Jacksonville, Florida and the one in Orlando, Florida (see Figure 4). Of the total of nine distributors serving the conglomerate, the five Georgia-based distributors are all located in the southern par~ of the state.
Columbus (1305): Despite its location along the border with Alabama, the Columbus risk area conglomerate is considerably more derAndent on food distributors located in Georgia than it is on those located in Alabama or elsewhere. Eight of the 13 distributors serving the conglomerate are located in Georgia (see Figure 5), and they serve over 80% of the supermarkets in the area. Five of these Georgia distributors are located in the Atlanta metropolitan area. As might be expected, four of the five out-of-state distributors are located in Alabama; the only exception being the Kroger Company facility in Nashville, Tennessee.
Macon/Robins AFB (1306): Food distribution to supermarkets in the Macon/Robins AFB risk area conglomerate is dominated by Piggly Wiggly southern, located in Vidalia, Georgia (see Figure 6). Twenty-three of the 70 supermarkets in the conglomerate are served by this firm. Nine of 11 distributors supplying superm0rkets are located in Georgia; two are in Macon itself and five are in the Atlanta area. The two out-of-state distributors are located in Nashville, Tennessee (the Kroger Company, which serves four supermarkets) and Jacksonville, Florida.
Savannah (1307): As shown by Figure 7, this risk area conglomerate is served by a greater number of distributors that are located out-of-state (8) than are located within Georgia (6). These out-of-state distributors serve 45~. of the supermarkets in the conglomerate. Three of the out-of-state distributors are located in relatively nearby Charleston, South Carolina. Two are in Jacksonville, Florida and the other in Nashville, Tennessee (Kroger Company). Two of the six Georgia-based distributors are located within Savannah, but the distributor of most significance is the T.J. Morris Company, ;n Statesboro; it serves 22 of the 74 supermarkets in the conglomerate.
Valdosta/Moody AFB (1308): The supermarkets in the Valdosta risk area conglomerate are supplied by six distributors; four of which are located within Georgia and two in Jacksonville, Florida (see Figure 8). The pattern of its food supply is fairly compact. There are only 12 supermarkets in the conglomerate, and no particular distributor dominates in regard to supermarkets served.
6-B-188

TAB 3 APPENDIX B ANNEX 6 CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984 Kings Bay (1309): This small risk area conglomerate has only one supermarket-located in Nassau County, Florida (see Figure 9). This single retail outlet is supplied by the Food Fair Stores warehouse in Jacksonville, Florida, only a short distance away. ~hattanooga, TN (4702): Food distribution data is not available for this conglomerate.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATI:;s PLAN
ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCA~ION APPENDIX C: HUMAN SERV~CES
I. INTRODUCTION
A. If Crisis Relocation is ordered, it ;11 be necessary to insure that basic human services are providec. Evacuees will have to be received in host counties at recepion centers and assigned to shelters and congregate feeding ~;:cilities. Each of these facilities will have to be staffed b) personnel with guidelines for their jobs and adequate experienre for coping with the unusual situations that will arise. Special ronsideration will have to be given to children, elderly, handicapoed, and other special groups of people.
B. The res pons i bi 1ity for human servi C' will not be over when everyone has been assigned to a fac':~ty. It will be necessary to insure that food, clothing, sani!ary facilities, water, and medical services are available. Procedures will be needed to insure emergency medical care in she1 ~ers, emergency transportation to hospitals, and adequate hospital and laboratory facilities for the seriously ill.
C. The responsibility for planning the:e services is assigned to the Department of Human Resources (jH~) because of its involvement in human services. The services i~cllded in this appendix will be divided into: (1) Reception and Care Services; (2) Public Healtr and Medical Sercies; and (3) Drugs and Medical Supplies. The Department of Human Resources will serve as the coordinator of activities outlined in this appendix. CoordinE-~on must be effected with providers of services not directly ur:-.ler control of the department and will involve a continuous and open planning process.
D. Role of the Department of Human Resr:~ces. The mission of the Department of Human Resources prior to Crisis Relocation is to insure planning for human services and that ~he planning will be sufficient for the identifiable needs that will arise should the plan be implemented. The mission of DHR will be to carry out the plan at the direction of the Governor and to insure that adequate measures are taken to meet the human needs of re 1 :ating populations.
It will be necessary for DHR to use the services, resources, and staff at its disposal in delivering the human services included in this appendix. It will also be necessary to anticipate problems of the department, such as evacuati_: and care of patients or residents of institutions.
Many of the essential services cannot be planned and accomplishPd by DHR alone. Cooperation of the mE'dical community in planning for medical services, emergency tra:,c:.portation, hospitals, laboratories, and essential medical suppl .:::s is essential.

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
E. Reception and Care Services (Host Areas and Risk Area Service Areas). Reception and care refers to a catego~y of services, including:
1. Reception, Assignment, and Feeding. Evacuees will be received in host counties at central locations and assigned to congregate care facilities. Lodging and sheiter will be the same, unless it is necessary to assign reloca ;.;d families to lodge with resident families who volunteer their homes for that purpose, or if relocatees must be moved to Jpgraded or expedient fallout shelters in event of nuclear attack. Transportation from the reception center to lodging will be provided as required. Mass feeding must be planned for, boF in host areas and for essential workers who may be in the risk a ~1. Government and private agencies will be required to support mass feeding operations.
People with essential skills will also be identified and asked to volunteer their assistance in -~eded tasks. Each person will be oriented in the standard~ to be observed an in the general procedures for food, clothing, medical services, and other necessities.
Residents of the host county will be assigned to shelter according to the local In-Place Protection Plan.
2. Special Needs in Congregate Care racilities. The special needs of identifiable groups of people will need to be considered and provided for. These groups will ~nclude the elderly, the handicapped, children, and the ill. ~- 2 needs of those who will commute back to the risk area to continue essential operations should also be considered.
3. Menta 1 Health and Spi ritua1 Serv -~es. Because of the grave nature of the crisis causing the evacuation, it can be expected that mental illness may be a problem. It will be important to insure that professional guidance is available for dealing with situations that may arise. It ""''1 also be important to identify the kinds of problems likely to . ise in advance and to give shelter managers adequate guidel:res for meeting situations. Many people will wish for spiritjal guidance during the crisis; provision should also be made for religious counseling and leadership.
F. Public Health and Medical Services Ccordination. This is a category of services wh;ch includes:
1. Hospital and Laboratory Services. Adequate hospital and laboratory facilities are required in host counties. Planning and coordination with public and private agr. .. ies will be necessary to insure availability. Essential or emergency needs that will be met by these facilities during the relocation period will be defined. Those in hospitals when relocation is ordered will also be considered in the planning.
6-C-2

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
2. Physicians. The free medical market may disappear for the duration of the relocation, so it will be necessary to coordinate and plan for the utilization of physicians to meet the needs of the sheltered population. Procedures will be established for identifying physicians among the relocated population, for determining where they are most needed, and requesting their voluntary cooperation for assignment where they are most needed.
3. Emergency Medical Services. In a crisis period, it can be expected that heart attacks and other results of stress will occur at a high rate. It will be necessary for local plans to be established for emergency treatment and transportation for evacuees during and after relocation.
4. Medical and Nursing Stations. Routine care will need to be provided in shelters through medical or nursing stations. Local plans must provide for this.
5. Mortuary Services. Just as emergency health problems can be expected to occur, so it can also be anticipated that some will die en route or after arrival at shelters. Procedures will be established for caring for dead bodies, identifying the deceased, and removing to appropriate storage facilities. These functions are the primary responsibility of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation working in coordination with DHR.
6. Sanitation Services. Local plans must include procedures relating to food handling, waste disposal, water quality, and insect and rodent control to insure sanitation standards are maintained. This task wi1l be especially important because of the strain on systems in host counties as the result of dramatic increases in population.
G. Drugs and Medical Supplies. Essential drugs and medical supplies will need to be included in planning. It will be necessary to identify what essential drugs and supplies must be made available, how to cooperate with wholesalers and transporters to insure that they will be available, and how to ration and prescribe them during the relocation period. The participation of the State Pharmacy Board and wholesale dealers in drugs and medical supplies will be necessary. DHR will be the lead planning and coordinating agency.
II. PURPOSE
This appendix will establish guidelines for planning for human services during a period of Crisis Relocation. The guidelines will insure that appropriate planning occurs at state and county levels.
6-C-3

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
III. RESPONSIBILITY
A. The State Disaster Coordinator, acting under the direction of the Governor, will have overall responsibility for the effective and orderly relocation of population.
B. The Department of Human Resources, as the Governor's designee, will have overall responsibility for planning human services and insuring that preparations are ready to provide these services when needed.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. State Planning. The Department of Human Resources will develop guidelines and standards for maximum utilization of its resources and insure that they are properly implemented. For services which do not involve the direct utilization of DHR staff and resources, there will be extensive involvement by the agencies, organizations, or providers in developing guidelines and standards which will be implemented through planning and public involvement.
S. County Planning. Comprehensive plans for human services will be developed in accordance with guidelines and standards developed at the state level. These plans will insure that resources and services are coordinated between risk and host counties.
V. EXECUTION
A. State Level
1. Pre-Emergency Planning
a. Develop, implement, and maintain standards or guidelines to be used in the counties in providing human services. This will be done through the participation of interested agencies, organizations, and providers in a planning process at the state level.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCATION APPENDIX D: TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT
I. INTRODUCTION
This appendix prescribes the responsibilities, guidelines, concept of operations and direction and control ess~ntidi to insure adequate transportation support to the citizens of Georgia during a period of Crisis Relocation directed by national and state governing authorities.
II. PURPOSE
A. To realize the maximum movement capacity by all modes of transportation.
B. To provide for and facilitate movement of personnel and supplies according to the needs of the risk and host areas.
C. To provide transportation to risk/host areas when local transportation assets have reached their maximum use capacity; and to compensate for any shortage of transportation essential to carry out the functions of government and support to the population in risk/host areas.
III. RESPONSIBILITY
A. The Governor of the State of Georgia has assigned the authority and responsibility for providing emergency transportation support to the Georgia Public Service Commission.
B. The federal government, through the Interstate Commerce Commission, may exercise responsibility for the use of interstate transportation means and facilities within the boundaries of the state. ThP State Director of Emergency Transportation Service will assume these responsibilities if the ICC representative is not available or does not exercise responsibility.
C. The Director of Emergency Transportation Service is a member of the Georgia Public Service Commission who has been designated the Transportation Disaster Coordinator to direct the Emergency Transportation Service (Tab 1, Organizational Chart). The Emergency Transportation Service will be activated in an emergency situation on order of the Governor. At that time, the Georgia Public Service Commission, in coordination with the federal government and the transportation industry will provide necessary equipment, facilities and personnel in response to emergency requirements. Under authority of the Georgia Emergency Management Act of 1981, as amended, all intrastate transportation within the state available for Emergency Management purposes will be subject to the control of the Emergency
6-D-1

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMHER 30, 1984
Transportation Service under the State Disaster Coordinator with the following exceptions:
1. Transportation required for military, federal civilian personnel or supplies.
2. Federally controlled or operated vessels, trains, vehicles or aircraft, unless specifically made available.
3. Commercial or scheduled air carriers (int~rstate carriers).
4. Ocean going vessels.
D. The Emergency Transportation Officer will coordinate transportation requirements during a Crisis Relocation situation in conjunction with the State Disaster Coordinator, who will designate priority areas for support. Coordination will be effected through the Area
. Transportation Officers (Tabs 2 and 3).
E. As required, the Governor, upon the recommendation of the State Disaster Coordinator, will activate the Georgia Emergency Highway Regulation Plan.
F. The government of each political subdivision is responsible for emergency preparedness and for coor9ination of emergency operations with the Area Transportation Officers.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. The process of furnishing transportation services in the state during a Crisis Relocation situation involves two series of actions. First, essential immediate transportation needs are identified and actions are taken to provide for these needs. Second, as soon as possible, future continuing needs for transportation service and expected future transportation capabilities are estimated, following which decisions are made and actions taken to direct these expected future capabilities to meet the needs most essential to contin0ed survival and protection of persons in the risk/host areas.
B. In accordance with state and federal policies, the transportation industry will function under its own management and operate systems and facilities to provide the maximum service to fill essential needs as specified by appropriate federal, state and local government authorities. The transportation industry will be responsible for continuity of management; protection of personnel and facilities; conservation of supplies; restoration of damaged lines and terminals; rerouting; expansion or improvement of operations; and securing of necessary manpower, materials and services.
C. Users of transportation and shippers, including government agencies, will be responsible for their own internal transportation
6-D-2

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984
procedures and for arranging directly with carriers for the actual accomplishment of movements.
D. Carriers and shippers will conduct business as usual whenever possible. Payments for transportation services will be made in the normal manner except when the consignor or cons1gn~e is an Emergency Management/Civil Defense unit, state or federal d92'1CY- The unit or agency involved will be billed for services. The principal change from accustomed business conditions will be controls which may be placed upon the use of transportation to assure that service is being utilized for essential survival act:vities in support of risk/host areas on a priority basis, and for the other areas of the state as available and required. These controls will be in the form of transportation allocations to local areas and essential facilities.
E. The Transportation Disaster Coordinator for the State of Georgia, through the Emergency Transportation Service, will coordinate with all appropriate departments/agencies involved in the function of transportation. The Emergency Transportation Officer will maintain current inventories of available transportation equipment, facilities, and establish and maintain liaison with the federal government transportation officials as well as Area Transportation Officers and local governments.
F. The Transportation Disaster Coordiriator will routinely keep the Area Transportation Officers, who are his representatives in the six transportation areas of the state (Tabs 2 and 3), informed of transportation policies and procedures. He will update information on a routine basis, and will coordinate transportation service through them in an emergency situation. Area Transportation Officers will solve problems on an area or intra-area basis. Unresolved proh1ems will be referred to the Transportation Disaster Coordinator.
V. EXECUTION
A. Definitions pertaining to Emergency Transportation Service are in Tab 4.
B. Only one mode of transportation serves all 159 counties of the State of Georgia, (i.e., highway transportation). The use of highway transportation will be coordinated at the local level by local government, and at the area level by Area Transportation Officers. Area officers will also coordinate the use of air, rail, and water modes, if required. It is anticipated that the primary transportation means available and practicable for Crisis Relocation will be the highway mode.
C. Local governments in risk/host areas will coordinate with local transportation agencies for emergency use of transportation equipment available, either in government agencies or the private sector. Liaison should be effected by the area officials to insure that transportation means can be easily shifted from one area to
6-D-3

another. An Emergency Transportation Officer should be designated to serve on the local emergency staff. He should be thoroughly familiar with the transportation capabilities in the local and adjacent areas.
D. Local government requests for transportation support should be made directly to the transportation agency concerned. If the local transportation capability has been exhausted, then the Area Transportation Officer will coordinate with adjoining areas to locate the type and quantity of transportation :equ1red. It may be necessary to move vehicles from one location to another, involving coordination between transportation areas, as well as the state level.
E. Transportation resources of the risk/host area government agencies should be utilized to the maximum. These may include:
1. School buses (government and private).
2. Vehicles of the local highway department.
3. Police vehicles not used in traffic control.
4. Aircraft.
5. Medical support vehicles (ambulances, etc.).
6. Other type vehicles organic to a local government agency.
F. Once local government transportation has been exhausted, the capability of the private sector must be utilized. Prior coordination with the private sector is essential to insure availability when required.
G. Local transportation authorities will keep the Area Transportation Officer informed of the situation. Area officers ~Jill advis9 the State Emergency Transportation Officer of any problems not resolvable at the local or area level. The State Transportation Disaster Coordinator will effect liaison at the state level and at the corporate headquarters level to obtain transportation from the private sector.
H. Operating agencies and/or individuals are the various local transportation agencies and individuals operating within'the state who will provide the transportation facilities and equipment and perform the actual movement of supplies and people. These agencies maintain complete records of all equipment, supplies and facilities available. Agencies furnishing equipment, supplies and transportation will maintain records to insure compensation for their use.
VI. SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS
Support to insure an adequate transportation system is required for all departments/agencies involved in normal operations. The same
6-D-4

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984

type of support will be required during a Crisis Relocation situation, however, on an expedited basis. Unusual support requirements will be levied by the State Disaster Coordinator through the Transportation Disaster Coordinator. Support will be required from the follo~i~g agencies as a minimum:

A. Department of Agriculture- personnel.

B. Department of Natural Resources - transportation and communications.

C. Department of Transportation - transportation, communications and fuel supply.

D. Department of Public Safety- transportation, communications and law enforcement.

E. Department of Defense - transportation and communications.

F. Department of Labor- personnel.

G. Department of Administrative Services - personnel and equipment.

H. Department of Education - transportation.

I. Forestry Commission- transportation and communications.

J. Department of Human Resources- transportation and personnel.

K. Board of Regents, University System- transportation and personnel.

VII. DIRECTION AND CONTROL

A. Overall ~oordination of emergency transportation services will be through the State Emergency Operations Center and associated
communication facilities. Federal Aviation Administration facilities and navigational aids will be utilized in controlling :ir movement.

B. The Emergency Transportation Service will answer through the established chain of command to the State Emergency Transportation Officer in the EOC, who in conjunction with the State Transporta-
tion Disaster Coordinator, will establish priorities and resolve differences.

C. Standing Operating Procedures of the various departments/agencies apply throughout the Crisis Relocation situation. Updated data
files will be made available to the State Emergency Transportation Coordinator.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCATION APPENDIX F: ELECTRIC POWER
I. INTRODUCTION
This appendix prescribes the responsibilities, guidelines, concept of operations, and direction and control essential to the maintenance of electric power for the citizens of Georg1a during a period of Crisis Relocation directed by national and state governing authorities.
II. PURPOSE
A. To coordinate the effect of the electric power industry in the conservation, distribution, and use of electric power throughout the crisis period.
B. To allocate the use of electric power to federal and state agencies as well as the general public by establishing priorities and policies for generation and consumption during the crisis period.
C. To assist the electric power industry in obtaining essential resources for continued operation during the crisis period.
III. RESPONSIBILITY
Managing the production of electric power under Crisis Relocation conditions involves an interlocking set of responsibilities and activities involving all levels of government and the electric power industry. The following briefly sets forth the federal, state and local governments roles in emergency management of electric power under Crisis Relocation conditions:
A. Federal Government
The Emergency Electric Power Executive Reserve of the United States Department of Energy works in conjunction with the electric power industry to assure maximum generation, distribution and transmission of electric power during a national emergency.
B. State Government
The State Electric Power Disaster Coordinator (Commissioner, Georgia Public Service Commission), through the Electric Emergency Coordinator (Tab l, Organizational Chart), is responsible for allocating and establishing priorities for the use of electric power within the State of Georgia. He is responsible for curtailing the use of electric power when required, and enforcing curtailments to insure that the power supply available is used to meet essential needs within the state. The power coordinator
6-F-1

is further responsible for coordinating with other state agencies

to obtain supplies, equipment, facilities, and repairs required by the electric power industry to insure continuing operation.

>
'

To fulfill this responsibility, the Electric Power Disaster Coor-

dinator must:

1. When necessary, allocate the use of electric power to state, federal, and local agencies and establish priorities for its use (Tab 2, Policy and Guidance on Curtailment of use of Electric Power).

2. Coordinate with other resource agencies in order to obtain support resources and the construction capability required to enable the electric power industry to maintain the production and distribution of power.

3. Coordinate with state agencies and major consumers of electric power within the state to estimate future continuing needs for electric power.

4. Receive requests made by local government officials for
increased supply of electric power. It is envisioned that there will be a lower requirement in the risk areas (to support essential operations only) and an increased requirement in the host areas to provide sufficient electricity to handle the increased population and inherent power usage increases. It is not expected that there will be an overall increase in electric power usage during the period of Crisis Relocation; rather there will be areas of greater or less use.

C. Local Government

The government of each political subdivision is responsible for preparedness and emergency operations in accordance with federal and state emergency plans. Chief executives of local governments must develop the capability for controlling the local use of electric power and for coordinating with the Electric Emergency Coordinators to obtain additional electric power when the supply is not sufficient to meet essential needs. This is especially true in host areas. Actions required at the local level include the following:

1. Curtail nonessential local uses of power.

2. Enforce priorities on local use of power (Tab 2).

3. Cut back the authorized use of electric power when the power supply is not adequate to meet all essential local needs.

4. Report local shortages and request increased supply of electric power, if insufficient for local needs.

5. Submit estimates of continuing civilian requirements for power to the appropriate Civil Defense Area Coordinator.

6-F-2

6. Plans developed by local governments must include arrangements for security of electric power facilities, and for providing manpower, equipment, supplies, and other locully available requisites.
D. Electric Utilities
1. Within their capabilities, utilities will comply with authorized requests from local, state an~ federal officials and supply electric power for essential uses.
2. In case of an emergency requiring immediate action to be taken to protect electric power facilities and equipment from being damaged, the management of the facility may take whatever actions are required to prevent the damage.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. Definitions applicable to this appendix are in Tab 3.
B. All electric power generation facilities are designated as essential facilities.
C. When a build-up of international .tension threatens the security of the United States, normal operations will continue until such time as Crisis Relocation is ordered. Electric power utilities will increase their state of readiness, alerting their emergency operational personnel for possible employment.
D. Upon execution of Crisis Relocation, utility emergency coordinators will continually monitor the power situation, implementing local emergency plans, as deemed necessary, or as ordered by the State Electric Power Disaster Coordinator. Because electrical transmission lines are fixed installations with significant built-in redundancy, power distribution alternatives will be determined to meet anticipated increased power needs in the r10st areas, and to insure sufficient power in the risk areas to enable evacuation to be completed, and to operate essential facilities which will continue to function.
E. The State Electric Power Disaster Coordinator will be informed of any dramatic change in power requirements, and the means used or recommended to meet those changes.
F. Power generation and distribution will continue in priorities outlined in another portion of this plan until such time as priority distribution reduction must be implemented.
V. EXECUTION
A. The emergency structure for control of electric power is in Tab 1.
B. Normal electric power generation and distribution continues as long as possible.
6-F-3

C. When normalcy can no longer be maintained, curtailment of local

.~.
'

use of electric power will be accomplished as outlined in Tab 2.

D. The State Electric Power Disaster Coordinator (Commissioner, Georgia Public Service Commission), in conjunction with the Electric Emergency Coordinator, will maintain all necessary lists, local maps, generation capability, switching data, and all other data required to regulate generation and distribution
of electric power within the state, and any interface with power generated in adjoining states which is consumed in Georgia. Since this data is required for non-crisis daily operation, it will be continually updated. This data must be available to the State Emergency Operations Center when the center is activated to control the Crisis Relocation situation.

E. The requirements outlined in this appendix will be ordered into
execution upon declaration of a Crisis Relocation situation by the Governor of the State of Georgia.

F. Immediate liaison at all levels with EEPA personnel will take place.

G. Upon activation of the State Emergency Operations Center, the
State Electric Emergency Coordinator will be available in the center to advise the State Disaster Coordinator of the electric power sitjation, and recommend actions to be taken in conjunction with other emergency actions directed by the State Disaster Coordinator.

H. Nothing in this appendix should be construed to override well established emergency operations plans of the electric power industry of the State of Georgia. However, during Crisis Relocatio~, priorities and allocations deemed essential to support the plan during the movement, stay and return periods will have priority over any other electrical generation activity.

I. Standing Operating Procedures of the Georgia Public Service

Commission and of the individual electric power generating

facilities remain in effect.

)

VI. SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS

The State Electric Power Disaster Coordinator or Electric Emergency Coordinator is authori zed to ca 11 upon any state/department/agency and/or local goven1ment agency for support in carrying out this plan. Such support may include manpower, transportation equipment, emergency road equipment or other power equipment to assist in repairs. The electric power industry is thoroughly versed in disaster recovery operations as they have responded to disruption of power many times in natural disaster situations. It is not expected that there will be a significant difference in recovery operations under a Crisis
Relocation situation.

ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCATION APPENDIX H: PETROLEUM AND LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS SERVICES
I. INTRODUCTION
This appendix prescribes responsibilities a1d the actions required for supplying petroleum and liquified petroleum gas (LPG) products to agencies of local governments, essential private industry and the general public during periods of Crisis Relocation.
II. PURPOSE
A. To establish the responsibilities, policies and procedures for supplying the necessary petroleum and LPG products to meet the needs of the population during Crisis Relocation.
B. To insure that the available petroleum and LPG within the state are distributed equitably to all users with priority to (1) host areas and (2) essential industry in the risk area, and that petroleum and LPG will be available for Civil Defense units when and where needed, as determined a-nd directed by the State Disaster Coordinator.
III. RESPONSIBILITY
Providing petroleum and LPG products during a Crisis Relocation situation involves interlocking activities of all segments of government. Briefly, responsibilities of state and local governments are:
A. State Government
1. The state is responsible for the conservation, distribution and use of available petroleum and LPG products to assure that essential needs for petroleum and LPG products are identified and met within the supplies available or allocated to the state. The use of the products will be consistent with federal guidelines and priorities established by the State Disaster Coordinator.
2. Existing business practices will be maintained to the extent possible. Whenever possible, retailers will obtain restocks from their normal distributors. Only when necessary will the State Petroleum and LPG Disaster Coordinator (Commissioner of Agriculture) divert petroleum and LPG products from normal channels of distribution. Deliveries to retailers in risk areas may be adjusted downward to maintain only a supply sufficient for essential operations. Conversely, retail stocks in the host areas may be adjusted upward to handle increased needs/usage rates in those areas. The State Disaster Coordinator will act upon requests made by local government for petroleum and LPG products and will arrange with secondary distributors to correct local shortages.
6-H-1

3. Retail stock of petroleum products within the jurisdiction of a political subdivision of the state will be under the control of the Chief Executive of that political subdivision. This control authority may be withdrawn and exerted b~' the State Disaster Coordinator in the event the stocks are vitally needed at some other location or it would best serve the state's interest. All other petroleum products in secondary inventories will be controlled by the State Petroleum and LPG Disaster Coordinator.
B. Local Government
1. The government of each political subdivision is responsible for preparedness pertaining to petroleum and LPG products. Retail petroleum dealers and dealers in LPG should respond to instructions issued by the local government regarding the release and resupply of their inventories to meet essential needs according to the established state priorities and the requirements of essential facilities in the area. Coordination with local retail suppliers is essential.
2. The following priorities for the use of petroleum products are established and will be enforced by local authorities. These priorities may be altered, if necessary, by coordination between the State Disaster Coordinator and the Petroleum and LPG Disaster Coordinator.
a. Military organizations engaged in essential military activities.
b. Civilian organizations engaged in essential Civil Defense activities including persons, equipment and facilities providing essential survival care and services to people.
c. Local establishments providing essential items and services to people.
d. Individuals required to commute from host areas to risk areas to keep essential facilities in operation.
e. All essential host area activities and transportation authorities.

STATE OF GEORGIA NUCLEAR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
ANNEX 6: CRISIS RELOCATION APPENDIX I: WATER AND SEWER
I. INTRODUCTION
The people of Georgia are dependent upon the rivers, streams, lakes and subsurface waters of the state as sources for public and private water supplies. Likewise, they are dependent upon local government sewage disposal facilities, and upon private disposal facilities such as septic tanks. In the event of Crisis Relocation, existing facilities in the host areas will become taxed while those in the risk areas will experience a reduction in demand. Since water is essential to human life, plans must be developed to meet the demands placed upon existing systems. Additionally, plans must be made to insure disposal of human waste in such a way as to minimize the health hazards to human beings during the critical period during which large segments of the population are relocated.
II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this appendix is to establish policy, outline procedures, and describe priorities to be utilized in the control of water resources and the use of sewer facilities in the event of Crisis Relocation. This appendix will be used as the basis for development of local plans for host areas which will experience the expected increase in water consumption and production of sewage. Water and sewerage systems are not anticipated to be adversely affected in the risk areas during a Crisis Relocation situation because of the decreased population.
III. RESPONSIBILITY
A. Water
1. State Government
a. The state is responsible for the direct control and protection of water quality in the state.
b. The Water Supply Section, Environmental Protection Division, Department of Natural Resources, is the agency of the state government which is responsible for matters pertaining to the management of public water supplies during an emergency. It develops policy and guidance consistent with state and federal objectives which are designed to:
(1) Assure that essential needs are identified and met.
(2) Assure application throughout the state of compatible measures for the conservation, distribution and use of water.
6-I-1

(3) Assure there will be no dissipation and waste of water.
2. County/City/Local Governments
a. Local governments are responsible for implementing conservation and control measures at the local level. They are authorized to take whatever action is necessary to insure that water resource management procedures are carried out.
b. Host areas and, where necessary, risk areas should develop plans for imposing priority use of water as outlined further in this appendix and for establishment of rationing procedures as necessary.
c. Where practicable and necessary, local governments will arrange for an alternate source of power (generators) to insure the pumping capability of well water where well water is the sole source of public and private water supply.
d. Identify, locate and arrange to stockpile, if necessary, chemicals needed to maintain the potability of the water supply in the event of Crisis Relocation and an increased demand upon the water supply system.
e. Identify agricultural and non-human consumption requirements in host areas and plan for meeting the requirements in a manner as similar to normal operations as possible.
f. Plan for transportation of potable water into the area if local supplies prove to be inadequate and cannot be met during any period of Crisis Relocation.
B. Sewage
1. State Government
a. The state is responsible for setting regulatory standards for the treatment and disposal of sewage. These standards are imposed at sewage treatment facilities to control effluents for the following reasons:
(1) Protect human health.
(2) Attain and maintain esta~lished water quality standards.
(3) Protect downstream uses.
b. In an emergency situation, the protection of human health will be the overriding consideration in the treatment disposition of sewage.
6-I-2

c. The Water Quality Control Section, Environmental Protection Division, Department of Natural Resources, is responsible for setting sewage treatment and disposal standards and enforcing them.
d. The Water Quality Control Section will provide technical assistance and guidance for sewage treatment and disposal.
2. County/City/Local Governments
a. Local government exercises normal su~~rvisory responsibility over sewage and waste disposal facilities subject to their jurisdiction.
b. Routine testing is carried on, and will be intensified during the emergency period.
c. Sewage disposal depends upon electric power for both pumping through sewer lines (in some areas) and operation of the disposal plant. Local plans should take into consideration this dependence upon electricity and arrange for generator or alternate power sources in an emergency situation.
d. Localities should identify, locate and arrange to stockpile, if necessary, chemicals needed to maintain the desired level of disposal standards for effluents. Chlorine is the basic chemical required at all facilities; other types of chemicals are required at other facilities.
e. Local government in the host areas must establish usage standards to reduce the amount of water entering the sewage lines in those areas as necessary, commensurate ~ith 11ne and disposal plant capacity during a period of Crisis Relocation.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. Water
1. The following definitions apply:
a. Essential local users. Civilian organizations engaged in essential Civil Defense activities, including persons, equipment and facilities providing essential survival car~ and services to people; military organizations engaged in essential military ftCtivities; farmers producing essentinl food; and workers employed in essential facilities or local establishments providing essential items and services to people. Less essential individual consumers are not included except those requiring immediate supplies for individual or family survival.
6-1~3

b. Essential facilities. Military establishments engaged in immediate defense operations; electric power, gas, and water utility systems; health facilities designated essential items; major wholesale establishments storing or distributing essential items and transportation and communications systems providing essential service~.
2. Although a severe shortage of potable water in the state cannot be categorically ruled out, it is not anticipated in most areas. However, should there be a failure in the electric distribution system and pumps dependent upon electricity cannot operate, alternate power supplies must be planned for. In the event this alternative is not possible, a critical water shortage may develop which can only be met through transporting water into the area in tanker trucks or by using portable treatment facilities with local surface supply. This must be planned for in each of the local plans.
3. Water usage reduction programs should be placed in effect immediately upon order of Crisis Relocation. These reductions should include, but are not limited to, the following prohibitions:
a. Use of water for watering lawns, washing cars, or other non-essential cleaning.
b. Use of water in non-essential industrial facilities.
4. Priority for availability of water, established at the local user level, should consider:
a. Human consumption of potable water (times of availability and amounts available may be limitied if necessary).
b. Firefighting and essential industrial use.
c. Personal and public sanitation.
d. Agricultural use.
5. Normal water potability inspections should continue to insure that water made available in both host and risk areas continues to be within the established levels of acceptable quality. A shortage of essential treatment chemicals will affect the quality of water supplies by facilities dependent upon these items. Local plans must include details of supply available and alternate sources of supply.
B. Sewage
1. Sewage disposal in the risk areas should pose minimal problems because of the reduced population base.
6-I-4

2. The relocated population in most host areas will be accommodated generally in public buildings or areas that are connected to permanent sanitation facilities.
a. Increased use will place a strain on sewage systew~; however, locally determined use-levels can reduce or eliminate this overload. Local governments must determine the danger level in sewer line use and reduce the amount of water and solid materials being flushed through the lines by limiting number of flushes per hour, or by some other means to reduce inp~t ittLo the lines.
b. The treatment of sewage and its disinfection at the local facility must be adjusted to provide for the protection of human beings through adjusted chemical treatment processes.
3. Temporary oxidation lagoons can be built when it is impossible to use permanent sanitation facilities.
4. Slit latrines and other expedients can be used. In this case, sanitarians should be consulted in order to reduce the danger of water pollution (streams and rivers, etc.).
5. Locally obtained portable chemical toilets may be used to augment fixed facilities.
6. Septic tanks can be expected to become loaded to capacity.
7. Each local host area must assess the sewage requirements and make local determinations as to capability, increased use rates, and possible reduction in flush times/water input which may be necessary to safely handle the increased population.
V. EXECUTION
A. Water
1. The Water Supply Section of the Environmental Protection Division, Department of Natural Resources, will provide overall guidance concerning water supply matters during Crisis Relocation. This section will retain its autonomy and no new organizational structure will emerge. Operations will be conducted from the Emergency Operations Center of the state through the DNR Emergency Coordinator in coordination with the State Disaster Cqordinator.
2. Because of the brief nature of Crisis Relocation (not anticipated for longer than two weeks), no formalized reporting system will be established. Reports of anticipated or actual shortages of water, or problems in sewage disposal, will be made via telephone or the most expedient method available from the local government officials involved.
6-I-5

3. The Water Supply Section Chief will attempt to locate and/or redistribute chemical supplies to critical areas as needed.
4. Emergency generating capability not met at the local level should immediately be reported to the State EOC where, in coordination with other emergency planning staff members, generators will be located, if possible, and relocated to the water treatment system needing them.
5. Normal state, county, and local health inspections will continue on an accelerated basis tu insure the potability of the water supply.
6. Emergency transportation requests for the movement of water in tankers or other vehicles will be coordinated by the PSC Disaster Coordinator at the State EOC. Coordination of such requests will be accomplished with the DNR Emergency Coordinator.
B. Sewage
1. The Water Quality Control Section, EPD, DNR, will provide overall guidance and control of sewage problems during Crisis Relocation.
2. The Water Quality Control Section Chief will arrange for redistribution or acquisition of chemicals to satisfy local needs when they cannot be met locally.
3. If not met at the local level, the State EOC will arrange for generators to be obtained to provide electric power for pumping when electricity fails.
4. Normal state, county, and local health inspections will continue on an accelerated basis to insure the desired level of disinfection of effluents.
VI. SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS
The following departments/agencies have a support requirement in the event of a water or sewage problem in a local area that cannot be resolved through the efforts of local governments:
A. Department of Human Resources - facility inspections and chemical supply.
B. Department of Agriculture - emergency water supply and chemical supply.
C. Public Service Commission- emergency transportation and emergency generators.
D. Department of Defense - emergency generators.
6-I-6

CHANGE 7 SEPTEMBER 30, 1984

E. Department of Transportation - emergency generators and emergency transportation.
F. Department of Administrative Services- communications and supplies.
VII. DIRECTION AND CONTROL
