S. Public Law 920, 81st Congress, 1950. Chapter 12 of the �innesota Statutes is the authority for local government to establish civil defense agencies. Chapter 73 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code establishes civil defense in Saint Paul and is the authority for this plan. This plan and its appendices provide the basis for a system of emer- gency preparedness to minimize the effects of nuclear attack and major natural disasters. It is applicable to every agency of city government and, in time of emergency, to every private or corporate person in the city. This plan becomes operative upon a declaration of emergency by the President or the governor for war-caused disaster, and by the mayor for major natural disasters. • Following a nuclear attack, survival of the nation's manpower, pro- duction capacity and governmental institutions can be greatly aided by adequate planning and emergency preparedness. Extraordinary centralized control by the mayor fo r all city services and private resources will maximize Saint Paul's capacity to survive and recover from a nuclear attack. �ajor natural disasters require the same type of centralized direction and control. This plan provides for the contingency of fallout radiation fro� a nuclear attack, the possibility of minor damage from the direct effects of a nuclear weapon detonation and for major natural disasters. It pro- vides for a range of warning from a few days to none at all. Section 2, Assumptions The nuclear weapons wi11 be delivered by missile or manned aircraft. • This plan applies to a nuclear attack situation causing no more than light damage to most of Saint Paul; i.e. , 1.5 to 2.5 psi blast over pressures. Some warning of a nuclear attack would be communicated to the general public. . , . Torandoes, floods, earthquakes, or blizzards are the natural disasters apt to be of such intensity as to require execution of this plan. Section 3, Operations Operations conducted under this plan require a rapid and coordinated response by every city governmental agency, private institution and cor- porate entity. Implementation of operations must be as self-triggering as possible and must not be dependent upon the presence of a particular individual. Central control of all operations from the operating center (OC) through operating centers for the police, fire-rescue, water and public , works provides the requisite direction and coordination. The mayor is responsible for the execution of the plan and for mini- mization of disaster effects. • Operations are divided into three phases (1) increased readiness (2) transattack and (3) recovery. The increased readiness period is based on serious deterioration of international relations Actions to be accomplished, depending on availability of time, are described in later sections and the appendices to this plan. The transattack phase extends from the warning of or actual attack until the general public emerges from public fallout shelter. Initial action by all persons is to seek protection (take cover ) from the possible direct sffects of a nuclear detonation, (light, heat, shock, blast waves and flying debris). The take cover period is followed by movement to public fallout shelter in accordance with the community shelter plan "Assignment: Survival". Public and home fallout shelters provide pro- • tection from fallout radiation. The shelter stay could last up� to two �eeks depending upon radiation intensities. Tha recovery phase commences with public emergence from fallout shelters. The primary objective of this phase will be to seek solutions • to problems generated by disruptions of communication, transportation, economic and governmental systems. Section 4, Task Assignments The tasks assigned to city governmental agencies are related to agency functions assigned by existing law, although some. have been ex- pended or reduced. If the title designation of a department, bureau or agency changes, the successor agency will assume the tasks assigned. ' Each a9ency will prepare a written procedure deliniating the ,specific actions, organization, equipment and staffing required to accomplish its assigned tasks. That procedure will be an appendix to this plan. The Police Bureau will protect life and property through law en- forcement with particular priority to gubernatorial proclamations pursuant • to the �innesota Civil Defense Act. Priority will be given to (1) pedestrian and vehicular traffic moving to public fallout shelters (2) preservation of order in public fallout shelters (3) enforcement of freeze orders on con- sumer commodities and (4) conducting explosive ordnance reconnaissance. The Fire Protection Bureau will minimize fire damage, rescue trapped persons, provide a radiological monitoring network for the Health Bureau and assist the Public Works Department in decontamination. The Health Bureau, with the assistance of al� medical and paramedical organizations, will provide medical treatment and public health services. The Health Bureau will provide a Radiological Defense (RADEF) Service which will direct radiological monitoring and reporting, advise the Public Works Department on decontamination operations and establish radiation control standards. • The Public Works Department with assistance from the Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Buildings and Public Utilities Department will (1) maintain access to public and private property (2) maintain refuse disposal and s�werage systems (3) coordinate public power and fuel supply • systems (4) provide emergency repairs to public fallout shelters and (5) conduc� decontamination operations with the technical advice of the RADEF service. The Water Department will maintain a potable water supply and dis- tribution system with water pressure adequate to fight fires and conduct decontamination operations. The comptroller and Finance Department will pay all obligations of the city incurred by all city agencies pursuant to the provisions of this plan. The Corporation Counsel will provide legal counsel to all city , agencies and officials. , The Ci�il Service Bureau will secure the manpower necessary to support the operations of every city agency. • The city-county Purchasing Department will procure food as necessary for public shelters and all general supplies in support of operations con- _ ducted pursuant to this �la� except maos, clothing and radiological devices. The Civil Defense Bureau will provide an OC, coordinate the operations of the city for the mayor and operate the public fallout shelter and emerg- ency information system. The Department of Libraries, Museums and Stadia will assist other agencies as needed and make its radio facilities and vehicles available to the Public Works Department. The city clerk and Bureau of Elections will record council proceedings, prepare an historical record of substantive actions taken by city agencies and render clerical support. The City Hall custodian will provide building management support to • the OC. Section 5, Succession . The mayor and ci�y councilmen or their designated successors will continue to function during a civil defense em�rgency pursuant to the city charter and applicable �aw. The heads of departments,. bureau and agencies will designate in writing at least two successors. Al1 staffing patterns will reflect a three shift operation. Section 6, Administration All agencies will maintain a record of actions taken. Such records will be important to possible litigation, preparation of an historical report, and fiscal responsibility. � Supplies, equipment and services will be needed in quantities greater than the city ordinarily maintains, and nor�al sources will not be readily available. Extraordinary procurement including co�mandeering may be nec- • essary under disaster conditions. Pick Up Order forms in use by the city will be used for immediate requisitioning and commandeering of material, equipment and services. Each city agency will determine its own authority for use of the Pick Up Order. All procurement using the pick Up Order will be confirmed by documentation and procedures in effect at the time �f the disaster or by special proce- dures established by the comptroller or city council following the disaster. • CHAPTER 2 - DIRECTION AND CONTROL • Section 1, Concept The mayor through agency heads directs emergency operations and pro- vides instructions and edvice to Saint paul residenta. Everyday civil government is characterized by functional and agency decentralization end liaison between agenciea. Natural or nuclear dis- aster requires accelerated decision making and action. Decisions must be based upon information from every government agency becauae accurete . information and instructions ere requirements for citizen action. In combination, these elements create the capacity to act correctly when resource information is focused on the OC. � Section 2, Public Warning The Saint Paul public werning system is comprised of outdoor sirens and bell and lights receivers. It is activated by the minnesota Department • of Public Safety in the event of nuclear attack and by the National Weather Service for tornadoes. The outdoor sirens provide sound coverage to all of Saint Paul at a 70 decibel (db) level except in the central business district where the level is 80 to 90 db. The bell and lights receiver system is utilized by government, business, industry� and institutions as a means of receiving warning. The outdoor siren and bell and lights systems are activated simultan- eously from the same point using a commercial leased line telephone system. Other than during tests, two signals are used. The attack warning signal is a five-minute warbling (rising and falling) tone on the, siren and posi- tion 3 on bell and lights receivers. In the seven-county metropoli�an erea, . • there is one reaction to that aignal--TAKE COVER immediately in the best protected place end listen to the radio for instructions. The other signel, alert, is a five-minute steady tone on the sirens and position 2 on bell and lights receivers. This signal means that a ' tornado is approaching the area. The reaction is to TAKE COUER immediately • and listen to the redio for instructions. TAKING COVER is defined as seeking shelter in the basement or interiors of any buildi�g away from entrances and windows. If a building is not im- mediately accessible, culverts, ditches or ground depressions will pruvide protection from the light, heat and blast of a nuclear detonation or the violence of a tornado. Commercial radio stations ere not a part oP the warning system; how- ever, instructio�s and information will be broadcast by radio for nuclear ettack and natural disasters. Simulteneous broadcasting of nuclear attack informetion and instructions will be eccomplished by stations who are ' authorized to be a part of the emergency broadcasting system (EBS).

' Section 3, Increased Readiness � Increased readiness is the governmental reaction to deteriorating relations between nations possessing e nuclear warfare capablility. Readiness conditons (REACONS) are indicators of the extent of that deterioration and are communicated from the state civil defense agency to the mayor or the civil defense buresu. Three readiness conditions are used. Reactions to each of these will vary in accordence with the requirements of the city agency concerned and are described in the agency's operating instructions. REACONS might be issued in 3,2,1 or 2,1 sequence or just REACON 1. REACON 3 depicts a possible break in international relations with a ' mejor world power capable of attacking the United States. REACON 2 indicates possible hostile action by a major world power against the United States following a break in relations with that nation. � REACON 1 is based on a Presidential declaration of emergency or that hostilities have already occurred against the United States. Section 4, Communications The communications system supporting this plan is that which is available to city agencies at the time of disaster. The commercial tele- phone system will be the primary means of communication. Radio communications available to the Police Bureau, Fire Bureau, Water Department and Public Works Department will be used by those agencies. Radio facilities of the Library and Utilities Department will augment the Public Works� c�pability. Eech radio system will have fecilities in the OC and � police, fire, public works and water operating centers. • A Radio Amateur Civil Emergency System (RACES) radio will be a back- up communications link to the Ramsey County operating center. Telephone facilities in the OC will be sufficient to eccomodate all _ , . staff functions. � Section 5, Operating Centers (OC) The city OC is the sixth floor of the City Hall. That location has adequate space, suitable configuration, and fallout radiation protection. It will be headquarters for the operating heads of agencies and staff members engaged in decision making with the �ayor. It is the point from which public information �will emanate. An OC for the Police end Fire Ps�tection bureaus is located in the basement of the Public Safety building. Based upon standing operating procedures and the policy established by the police and fire chiefs, the police and fire field forces will be controlled from the public , safety operating center. The Public Works Depertment operating center is in the east half of the fifth floor, City Hall. The Water Department operating center is on � the sixth floor, City Hall. The medical care opereting center is at Saint Paul—Ramsey Hospital. • � . �, ' i � • , Cf1APTER 3 - INFOR�1ATION AND EDUCATION Section 1, Concept Public information and education is the responsibility of the Bureau of Civil Defense end will be directed by the. bureau's public i�formation officer with assistence from broadcast media. Prior to, during and following a disaster, he will issue inPormation to the public, city agencies and other levels of government. He will determine the timing, content, format and media Por public ennouncements and coordinate all auch activities fro o e ce tr m n n al lo- cation. He will meke recommendation on public information policy to the civil defense director and mayor. , � Section 2, 5teff Staffing will follow thet described in figure 3-1. The public information officer will supervise all activities, • direct tra�ning and serve as lieison with all medial. Information analysts will collect, coordinate and analyze all' incoming data. They will recommend information to be disseminated to the public. EBS programmers will prepare copy for broadceating via the Emer- gency Boradcasting System (EBS) or its back up system. They will prepare a file copy of all materials dissemin�ted other than pre- poaitioned copy. Clerks will perform clerical and recording duties as required. The production engineer will direct the mechenicel operation of the information system and serve as technical liaison with the E8S or back up stations. • Succeasion to the public information officer will be the senior inPormation analyst, �unior informetion analyat end the senior EBS programme•r.

Figure 3 - 1 . Section 3, Increased Readinesa Inereased readiness is the governmental reaction to deterior- ating relations between countries possessing a nuclear warfare capa- bility. Readiness conditons (REACONe) are indicators of the extent of that deterioration. (See chapter 2, section 3) Following announcement of REACON 3, the public information officer will direct the following ections: Accelerated training in radiological monitoring, shelter manags- ment and I�edical Self-Help will be ordered. Emergency information will be disseminated. I�eetings with medie repreaentatives will be held to review policy and procedure, verify the co�tract With� KSTP�, end insure the operebility of the EBS entry point and accuracy of call up lists. � Announcement �of REACON 2 will require the following actionas� The public information stafP will report to the OC. Prepoaitioned public announcementa will be broedcast. _ , � Status of equipment and materials will be determined. • Upon announcement of REACON 1 or atteck werning, specific in- structions will be broedcast via the E8S or its back up system. Informetion diasemination during an increased readinesa period or following an ettack will be coordinated with other civil defense agenciea in the metropolitan area when posaible. A copy of all information, other than that which has been pre- positioned in broadcasting atations, which is disseminated during and following REACONs will be filed. Section 4, Emergency Boradcast System . The Emergency Boredcast System (EBS) is e network of broad- ; , i casting stations holding National Defense Emergency Authorizations. They alone will remain on the air following an attack to communicate official information to the public. The system is activated by the • President and its activation is ennounced via NAWAS (national warning ' � system.) In Saint Paul, stations WCCO, KSTP A� and F�, WLOL, Ii1DGY and � �TCN TU hold such authorization. ` �innesota's primary station, WCCO, will feed information via land linea throughout the state. When priority 1 and 2 information (national end state) is being broedcast, all E8S stetions will broad- cast simultaneously. Priority 3 information will be on e local besis. ! According to the operetional plan of the State of �innesota, Saint Paul information will enter the E8S network through the unified command (UNICO�) area entry point. Following an attack warning but before EBS ia ectivated, emergency information will be dissemineted through e back up system of tepes and • copy prepositioned in locel radio stations. A contract between KSTP radio and Saint Paul elso provides for emergency programming during this period. If EBS i$ not functioning� this back up system will also v � � • be instituted. "Functioning" is the ability to get local life-saving information to the public immediately. � During the shelter atay, the public information officer will direct shelter education information to be broadcast via EBS or its back �p. Issuance oP information during the recovery period will also be under his direction. ; � � ; � ; I � i I � ; � , � � I I � • ; � 1 ; � � 1 , ' j 1 , 1 I . i I � • ' i � � � c � • CHAPTER 4 - SHELTER SYSTE� Section 1, Concept The fallout shelter system has been developed to protect residents from the effects of fallout radiation resulting from a nuclear attack. The direct effects of such an attack would affect only a small part of the country while most of the n�tion would be covered by dangerous radio- active fallout. Large buildings and those constructed of heavy materials usually provide protection from radiation. Such buildings have been surveyed by the Corps of Engineers to determine their adequacy as shelters. • In Saint Paul, these buildings have been licensed, marked, and stocked with food, water, medical, sanitation and radiological supplies. Saint paul has an adequate number of fallout shelter spaces for its residents and for residents of many of the suburbs. • In a nuclear emergency all city departments will direct their re- sources to the full support of the public shelter system. Section 2, Shelter Assignments All residents of Saint Paul have been notified of the location of their public fallout shelter. This was done by mailing the booklet Assignment: Survival to each household, including a pair of stickers giving the name and address of the shelter for that residence. The stickers were to be attached to the edges of the front and back doors for easy reference. In most cases, shelter assignments were within the reasonable walking distance of 12 miles. However, because of the mal- distribution of shelter in Saint Peul, some reside�ts will need to drive ta shelter, thus possibly creating traffic problems. Some citizens will • be reassigned as changes occur in the shelter system. No assignments were made to hospitals, telephone exchanges, fire stations or other build- ings which have emergency functions. r Section 3, Shelter �anagement • The shelter management service consists of the shelter management officar, shelter district managers, radiological monitors and fallout shelter managers. Shelter management has no counterpart in everyday city gove�nment; all personnel are volunteers or designated city employees. Saint paul is divided into sh�lter districts; each district has three shelter district managers assigned to the OC for continuous super- vision of the shelter facilities. Telephone communication to almost every shelter is available. �anagers have been trained and assigned to most shelters. REACON 3 will be communicated to the shelter management officer. No other action is required. ' REACON 2 requires the shelter management officer to initiate the following actions: • Order all shelter district managers to report to the OC with their families. Order all shelter managers to report to their assigned shelters, inspect them, check the emergency packet and communications with the OC and prapare for reception of shelterees. Order radiological monitors to report to the assigned shelter and ma!<e an operational check of all radiological ins.truments. If �EACONS have not been announced and, following an attack when the general population is instructed to go to public fallout shelter, all shelter district managers will go to the OC with their families and all shelter managers and radiological monitors will report to their assigned shelters. Families of all OC personnel will be sheltered on the 10th • to 15th floors oT City Hall. Shelter managers or radiological monitors who are unable to get to , . their assigned shelter will assist in whatever shelter they are able to . reach. Public fallout shelters will be ma�aged in accordance with the in- structions contained in the shelter management packet stocked in each shelter. Public fallout shelters, which trained shelter managers are unable to reach, will be managed by shelter occupants in accordance with the instructions in the packet. Shelter managers, whether preselected or selected by any of the methods dsscribed in the shelter management packet, represent and have the suthority of the mayor within their public shelter. • • r . CHAPTER 5 - RESOURCES I�ANAGEI�ENT • Section 1, Concept A nuclear attack will cause substantial loss of productive capacity and disruption of the financial and credit structure. Damage will have nationwide economic effects because of the interdependence between geo- graphical areas. Communications, transportation, production, power supply, finance and other services will be disrupted. Undamaged areas must plan to assist in providing essential resources. The federal government is responsible for national survival. Im- mediately following an attack, survival of people will be the primary objective but conservation and management of resources must also begin. This will be accomplished through federal organizations unless disruption of federal control requires the state to direct resource management. The • State has prepared plans for this purposs in accordance with national priorities and policies. Both the national and state plans provide for controls in the following resource areas: Construction and Housing I�anpower Eonomic Stabilization Petroleum Electric Power � Solid Fuels Food Transportation ' Gas Water Health Resources Telecomunications Industrial Production These controls are concerned primarily with actions and arrangements to ensure supplies of essential resources and services to meet immediate and continuing needs. The state will control resources at the production and • wholesale level with the counties and municipalities exercising control over retail outlets. The plans also prescribe policies and guidance for the operatiog of a nationwide system for rationing consumer items and for freezing prices and rents, following shelter emergence. • At the state level the process of resources management will consist of taking inventory of resources, determining essential requirements, and supervising rigid control of distribution and rationing. Assistance will be requested from outside the state where deficiencies exist. Surpluses will be reported and preparations made to export them, if so directed, to other areas in the interest of maximizing national survival. In view of the priority which will be given to state and national needs, all Saint Paul agencies must be prepared to conduct operations from city •retail resources. Conservation of existing supplies and equipment will be mandatory until the state and national resource situation can be , determined. Section 2, Economic Stabilization Under the resources management concept outlined above, the state and • county will establish an economic stabilization organization to initiate and administer a system for rationing essential consumer items and es- tablishing price and rent controls. A secondary task will be to assist state and federal agencies in monetary and credit control operations. The Ramsey County economic stabilization organization will consist of consumer rationing, price control and rent control boards. Subboards and rationing registration points will be established based on population densities. The first step in economic stabilization will be a federal or state "freeze order" fixing prices, rents, wages and salaries and instituting a system of consumer rationing. For at least five days, retail sales and transfers of essential consumer items, except survival and perishable items, will be prohibited. • During the fresze order period, the county rationing board will register all persons. The board will also assess the quantity and quality of food in retail stores, estimate requirements and astablish the quantity � and composition of rations to be permitted each person for a stated period. The following ration cards may be issued: . A Food Shopper's Card - For those who prepare and eat their food at home. Each card will allow purchase of 30 days of rations. Commercial Food Card - 30 meals. For those whose work requires eating one meal per day at commercial establishments. Commercial Food Card - 90 meals. For those who must eat all meals out. Special Diet Card - For infants and persons requiring diets prescribed by a physician. Gasoline Ration Card- Issued to the owner of a registered vehicle for / essential use only. Ration Purchase Certificate - For purchases of items not on other � cards and which have been approved by the ration board. The second phase of rationing will commence as soon as inventories of essential items such as food, gasoline, medicine and clothing can be more accurately determined and resupply procedures established. A more self-executing system including devices such as tokens would be instituted throughout the supply chain from producer to consumer. The state and county organization and procedure for economic stabili- zation covering rationing, price and rent controls, and other monetary activities will continue only until federal control has been reestablished. It is probable that the organizational structure and personnel of the county and state boards will be absorbed into the federal system. Section 3, Industrial Preparedness National survival and economic stabilization depend on business and • industrial survival. Preparation to survive and recover from a nuclear attack is the responsibility of the management or operating authority of • each industrial or commercial establishment. Plans and preparations should include: Appointment of an emergency coordinator from top level management. • Establishment of an organization for emergency operations and control including plant protection, fire fighting, medical ssrvices, rescue, emer- gency shut-down and restorative action. Receipt and dissemnination of warning. Protection of personnel and movement to fallout shelter in the plant or at other predesignated locations. Preservation of vital records. , Provision for continuity of management. Training of key personnel in civil defense skills. Informing all employees of emergency plans and individual and family • surival actions. The Bureau of Civil Defense will: Provide guidance and advice to industry in all phases of preparations for defense. Insure that surveys are made of all industrial and commercial build- ings to determine fallout shelter capability and obtain management con- currence for licensing, marking and stocking to the extent storage spacs and availability of supplies will permit. I�ake civil defense skills training avaiTable. Provide useful and current literature from the national Office of Civil Defense and the Office of Emergency preparedness. Under increased Readiness Condition 3 and 2, the Bureau of Civil Defense will distribute an E(�ERGENCY ACTION CHECK LIST to all industrial • and commercial establishments. I r . � � EI�ERGENCY ACTION LIST THE CURRENT INTERNATIONAL SITUATION PRO�IPTS INCREASED READINESS FOR DEFENSE. IF YOU HAUE NOT f�ADE PROPER PREPARATIONS THE FOLLOWING EI�ERGENCY ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN AT ONCE. Appoint a civil defense coordinator for your plant, business or building. With the coordinator, select representatives from each department, divi- sion or section of your plant, business or building, including tenants, for a control organization. Survey building to locate best TAKE COUER area for protection f rom light, heat and blast of a nuclear explosion, and insure that all employees are informed of these areas. Insure a means of receiving and disseminating an ATTACK WARNING signal. � I�ake ready fallout shelter areas, if any, in your building and inform personnel about them. If there is no fallout shelter in your building determine where occupants should go for shelter when so ordered. • If portions of your building can remain occupied as a shelter, determine if there is telephonic communication with the city emergency operating center. If your building is to be occupied as a shelter, organize employee teams for security, firefighting, health, sanitation, supply , radiological manitoring and shelter management. Take action to preserve vital records. Take action for rapid shutdown of your plant. Public fallout shelters in industrial facilities occupied by employees and the public must be self-sustaining to the same extent as other public shelters. Control will be exercised by the occupants. Communications � will be by telephone to the appropriate shelter district officer in the city OC. • CHAPTER 6, NATURAL DISASTER Section 1, Concept � �ajor natural disasters are those which would require the extra- ordinary coordination and control of city resources to minimize the loss of life and property. Torandoes, floods, earthquakes or industrial acci- dents could require such operations. The urgency of the situation will determine the mode of direction and control. For instance, a flood permits a comparatively slow reaction and requires, at most, daily meetings of key officials. Conversely, a tornado or earthquake would require immediate reaction, continuous atten- tion, and numerous coordination meetings. The need for immediate and maximum response to such a disaster would necessitate activation of the OC. See appendix 4 for the details of OC activation and arrangement. � The m,ayor will designate the official who will be in charge of natural disaster operations. Selection will be dependent upon the nature and scope of the disaster. All other city agencies and private corpor�tions would be required to assist and support the operations. Section 2, Warning The warning 'of a flood in Saint paul extends over a period of weeks starting in late February or early �arch. The warnings or forecasts come from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administratipn, National Weather Service. Tornado warning is measured in minutes and is initiated from the . local National Weather Service office. The steady tone on the outdoor warning sirens and position 2 on the bell and lights system is used for this purpose. The warning is given if a tornado is seen touching down • and approaching the metropolitan Twin Cities area. A tornado warning may be preceded by a tornado watch. A tornado watch is a notification to the general public via radio broadcasts and to public safety agencies via teletypc that weather conditions could spawn a tornado. � The reaction to a tornado warning is the same as for a nuclear attack warning -- TAKE COUER immediately and listen to the radio for information and instructions. Section 3, Information Activities In a major natural disaster, information will be disseminated by the government to other levels of government, city agencies and the general public. � How well information activities are executed can greatly effect the success of efforts to save lives and reduce property damage, as well as the public acceptance and approval of actions taken during crisis and re- , covery periods. All mass communications media will bs used for dissemination of in- formation and instruction. During natural disaster operations, the Bureau � of Civil Defense will establish and staff an information csnter through which all disaster information will be transmitted. The center will func- tion under the designated chief executive in charge of disaster operations. The information center has four functions: to act as a disaster in- formation clearing center for all city agencies and appropriate state and federal agencies, to make current information available to the media, to coordinate all information and instructions to the public, and to monitor public safety communication networks for coordination purposes. � APPENDIX 1 - OPERATING CENTER ACTIVATION AND STANDING OPERATING PROCEOURES � Activation - When readiness condition (llEACON) 2 or 1 is ennounced by the governor or state director of civil defense, the city operating center (OC) will be activated through a sequence of telephone calls which will �otify the OC staff and their families to assemble. ---- If an attack occurs without warnin� OC statf and their families will proceed to the OC when the general population is instructed to go to public fallout shelter. This concept applies to activation of ell support operating centers and call back of employees to assembly points. � The primary consideration is the minimization of exposure to the possible direct effects (light, heat and blast) of a nuclear detonation. A sequence call-up list of OC staff will be distributed semiannually by � the Bureau of Civil Defense. Sequence call-up lists for support operating centers and call back pro- cedures will be maintained by the Fire Bureau, Police Bureau, Public Works Department and Water Department. �essage Forms Expeditious and coordinated responses to problems requires a standard- ized method for processing messages. Three forms will be used for this purpose; (1) the emergency report, (2) the general message form and (3) the radiation/nudet report forms. The emergency report form is used to record an emergency situatio� and specific actions or responses required or initiated. It is used by anyone in the OC who receives information of an emergency. The form may also be used to record and initiate actions in anticipation of an incident or to � take action on a •problem before it becomes critical. The emergency report provides a written record for future reference • . and is one of the means of coordinating responses to specific incidents. Figures 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 schematically describe the flow of the emergency report form in the OC in its three modes of use. • • � Figure 1 - 1 .

It requires e mayoral declaration of emergency for this eppendix to become effective. The size and composition of the operating staff will be determined by the type and mag�itude of the disaster. Except for a flood, immedi- ate ectivation and response from the natural disester operating center (NOOC) located i� the Public Safety building is planned. / The staff for the NDOC will have representation from the Mayor, Comptroller, Corporation Counsel, Police Bureau, Fire Protection Buresu, • Health Bureau, Water Department, •Public Works Department, Public Utilities Department, City Purchasing, Civil Defense.Buresu, American Red Cross, Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and the Northern States Power Com- pany. �lilitary lisison will be established if the US Army Corps of Engineers or the �linnesota National Guard is assisting. Depending upon the type of disaster, the mayor will designate • either the chief engineer, the medical officer, the fire chief or the police chief to direct disaster operations. Ail city egencies and private utilities will respond to his direction. The American National Red Cross chapter has primary responsibility for temporary assistance to persons and families affected by the dis- aster. The Hausing and Redevelopment Authority will assist the Red Cross with temporary housing and relocation activitiea. • , } • Generel Instructions The director of civil defenae Will represent the mayor in coordination with the designated executive and iri liaison with the public. Public infor- mation will be coordineted by the civil dePense director. Cfvil defense will provide identificetion cards Por residents, volunteers, and workmen Who must enter the disaster area. The Department of Parks, Recreetion and Public 8uildings will assist the Department oP Public Works. The police, fire, public works and water agencies will establish pro- cedures for call back oP personnel in reaponse to neturel disasters. Pri- ' vate organizations should establish call back procedures also. Succession, Communications and Administretion Eech egency will designate three people in priority order to staff the • NDOC. This ataff list will be maintained and distributed by the civil de- fense bureau. - Telephone will be the primary means of communications in the NOOC. � Facilities of police, fire, public works� public utilities, private utilities and amateur radio will be the primary means of commu�ications in the field. Detailed records of employees and volunteer tfine, materials and equip= ment will be kept by each agency. These records will be necessary Por fed- eral funds end for settlement of cleims. Operating Center Location and Activation The NDOC could be in one of three locations dependent on the type and severity of disaster. For flood operations, the chief engineer wili activate the NOOC e�d • designate its location. � . � For tornado, earthquake� me�or fires or accidents, the NOOC Will be � in the Public Safety Department office on the second Ploor of the Public Safety building, Figure 3--1� or on the sixth floor of the City Hell� Figure 3 -2.

Its function is analysis, evaluation and dissemination of data about the nuclear radiation environment. The objective of RADEF is to minimize the radiation exposure of people. Collection of environmental data will be accomplished for the RADEF staff by the National Weather Service, the Fire Bureau, the Department of Public Works, fallout monitoring stations and public fallout shelters. Collation and evaluation of this date is accomplished by the RADEF , staff in the city operating center (OC). See figure 4 -1. • RADEF SERUICE CHIEF.

REACON 3 depicts a possible breach of international relations with a major power. REACON 2 indicates possible hostile action by a major power against the United States following a break in interna- tio�al relations, and REACON 1 is a Presidential declaration of national emergency or that hostilities have already occurred. Readiness conditions might be issued in 3, 2, 1 or 2, 1 sequence or �ust REACON l. . REACON 3 will be communicated to the RADEF chief by the Bureau of Civil Defense. No other action is required. REACON 2 will require the RADEF chief to initiate the following actions: / ' Order all RADEF staff to report to 'the OC. Assign priority tasks as they arrive. • Plot weather data and hypothetical fellout predictions. REACON 1 is the take cover warning, and is signalled on the outdoor siren system. All RADEF staff will take cover where they are. To take cover is to seek the best portection from the light, heat and blast of a nuclear detonation. If there is a nuclear detonation without warning, all persons should cover their eyes and then move to the strongest part of a building or lie down behind a wall or in a depression. . If•REACONs have not been announced and�following an attack when the population is instructed to go to public fallout shelter, all personnel will report to the OC with their families and commence RADEF functions. Priority order for RADEF activities is; . Secure meteorological data. Plot fallout forecasts. • 8rief OC staff on fallout forecasts. Establish cort�nunicetion with representative fallout monitoring . stations. � Record and plot dose rate histories from representative monitoring • stations. Brief all OC staff on the radiological environment and provide them data and advice .on radiation exposure control and decontamination measures. Report radiological data to Ramsey County and/or the state and federal governments. Staff Duties The service chief will supervise all activities and provide training for the RADEF staff after the OC is activated. Prediction analysts will utilize meteorological data to calculate and plot the extent and arrival of fallout from potential targets upwind � � from Saint Paul. After fallout has arrived, the �nalysts will record dose rate data� plot dose rate history curves and project sheltered and un- sheltered doses. They will assist in the preparation and presentation of • radiological briefings and reports to other levels of government and super- vise the activities of the survey team coordinators. �onitoring stations and public shelter monitoring operations will be supervised by survey team coordinators. In addition� coordinators will supervise the assignment vf monitors to operational missions and insure that exposure control techniques are used and individual exposure records main- tained. Initial limits of exposure will be 50r per mission and an equivalent residual dose (ERD) of 150r. The report clerks will receive and record monitoring station reports and perform other clerical work as assigned. Protection engineera will analyze the relationship between dose rate • and shelter protection fector and recommend measurea to reduce radiation exposure. Decontamination coordinators will assist the Public Works Department • and provide advice on decontamination of persons, equipment and material. Loqistics, Communications and Succession Radiological instruments stocked in public fallout shelters and monitoring stations are the only radiological detection equipment available to the city. There will be no resupply of instruments after a nuclear attack. Batteries to power the instruments are stored with the instruments. Resupply is available in retail stores. Monitoring station reporting logs, radiological reporting logs� moni- toring station lists, decontamination estimating forms and dose rate history , curve charts are described in the RADEF standing operating procedure (SOP). The forms and SOP will be located in appropriate monitoring stations, public fallout shelters and operating centers. � Communication with monitoring stations end public shelters will be ' by telephone. Police� fire and public works radio communications may be used to relay data to the RADEF service during survey and decontaminetion operations. Succession to the RADEF service chief will be the lst, 2nd and 3rd prediction analysts in that order, or as designated by the city medical officer. • APPENDIX 5 - P•OLICE BUREAU Concept • The Police Bureau will continue to function in its role of law enforce- ment with particular emphasis on vehicular and pedestrien control during movement to shelter, emergence from shelter and during major naturel disasters. The random and planned distribution of police officers in public fallout shelter will provide some police services to shelter managers. Enforcement of emergency freeze orders an consumer goods either before or after a nuclear attack will be a major police function. The regular police forces will be augmented by treined volunteer reserve police officers. There will be no change in the organizational structure of the Police Bureau. General Instructions • Readiness conditions (REACONs) are indicators of declining international relations. REACON 3 depicts a possible breach of international relations with a major power. REACON 2 indicates possible hostile action by a major power against the United States following a break in international relations and REACON 1 is a Presidential declaration of national emergency or that hostilities have already occurred. Readiness conditions might be issued in 3, 2� 1 or 2, 1 sequence or just REACON l� and require the specific actions describe'd below. REACON 3 will be relayed by the chief to the deputy chiefs. REACON 2 will be relayed by the chief to the deputy chiefs and the station captain on duty. The shift on duty will remain on duty. Off-duty shifts will be recalled to the Public Safety building for an operational briefing and duty assignments. Personnel not given specific assignments • will return home and await instr�ctions. The station captain will order the police communications center to relocate in the public safety operating • center (PSOC) in the basement of the Public Safety building and commence operations.

Servicea pro- vided through the organization will be of two types - public health and medical care. See figure 7-1. figure �7 - 1 Health-I�edical Services Organization • HEALTH OFFICER PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION I�EDICAL CARE DIVISION . � ENUIRON�1ENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH HOSPITAL FIELD HEALTH NURSING SERUICES SERUICES � FIELD TRIAGE TEAI�S HOSPITALS LABORATORY PERSONNEL FIRST AID STATIONS SUPPLY TRANSPOR- TAION � The city health officer has a dual function as the chief of the Health • Bureau and the head of public health division. Physicians to head the medical care division are selected by the Ramsey County �edical Society. The medical care division provides services in the field through the field s�svicas bsanch, in�ludinp tria�e, fir�t aid and ts�nsPost�tion. Tho�e three sections will perform primarily during major natural disasters. A nuclear attack which causes light damage to the city may also require the activation of the field services branch. Each hospital will organize, staff, equip and train a triage team, a first aid station team, and a transportation unit. They will be dispatched � as needed in coordination with Saint Paul-Ramsey Hospital. The hospital services branch will receive operational direction from the chief of the medical care division. Distribution of casualty case loads • to private hospitals will be coordinated by Saint Paul-Ramsey Hospital. Hospitals will plan to operate as general hospitals. Hospital disaster plans . will incorporate the concepts of coordinated medical care because there will be shortages of physicians, facilities, supplies and paramedical personnel. The personnel section operates only after a nuclear attack and coordi- nates the assignment of personnel to alleviate shortages or maldistributions. This will require contact with public fallout shelters for reports on the location of inedical and paramedical people. In the case of a major natural disaster, each hospital must arrange for staffing. The supply section will function following a nuclear attack to coor- dinate the whole blood program with the American National Red Cross Chapter which will provide staff for that purpose. The supply section will receive • requests for supplies from hospitels and arrange for release of supplies from other hospitals, retail outlets or wholesale distributors. • Chiefs of the personnel and supply sections will be directed by the chief of the medical care division. The Public Health Bureau will function with essentially the same or- ganization and staff as it does daily, but without those health sanitarians assigned to the radiological defense service. It will suspend all non- essential programs and direct its efforts to the environmental health problems. General Instructions Readiness conditions (REACONs) are indicators of the decline in inter- national relations. REACON 3 depicts a possible breach of international relations with a major power. REACON 2 indicates possible hostile action ' by a major power against the United States following a break in international relations, and REACON 1 is a Presidential declaration of national emergency or that hostilities have already occurred. REACONs might be issued in 3, 2, • 1 or 2, 1 sequence or just REACON 1. REACON 3 will be relayed by the health officer to the chief of the medical care division, the deputy health officer and the health mobilization coordinator. REACON 2 will be relayed by the health officer to his deputy and the chief of the medical care division� both of whom will notify or cause the � city operating center (OC) staff and each hospital to be notified. Hos- pitals will recall all employees and execute their disaster plan. OC staff will report to the sixth floor of City Hall with their families and commence operations. Families will be sheltered on the lOth through 15th floors. REACON 1 is the attack warning. It is signalled by the bell and lights system receiver on position 3, and on the outdoor siren warning s�stem as a wailing (warbling) tone of five minutes duration. Upon receipt of this • warning all personnel will take cover. To take cover is to seek the best protection from the light, heat and • blast of a nuclear detonation. If it occurs without warning, all persons should cover their eyes and then move to the strongest part of the building they are in or lie down behind a wall or in a depression. If REACONs have not been announced and following an attack when the population is instructed to go to public fallout shelter, the following actions will be taken: The OC health-medical staff will report there with their families. The public health staff will evaluate the radiological and damage impact of the attack on the environmental health systems of tho city and assist the medical care staff in providing advice to the public fallout � shelters. The medical care staff will advise shelter occupants and survey and evaluate the status of the hospitals to respond to immediate and future • demands for medical care. The personnel section will survey the public shelters and hospi- tals for physicians and other medical and paramedical personnel. Plans will be prepared for field surveys and laboratory operations. Public health plans for the population to emerge from fallout shelter will include: , 1) public health information announcements and 2) field survey teams which will: examine food and water sources for contaminants; inspect waste disposal systems, public housing, food serving and food processing plants; survey for the presence of disease vectors and initiate control and corrective measures. � 3) guidance for the disposal of the dead and • 4) investigation and control of epidemics. Hospitals will prepare for the care of casualties from the direct • � effects of a nuclear detonation. These casualties could arrive prior to or during a period of fallout radiation; however, casualties needing surgical or other hospital treatment should arrive when fallout radiation intensities have reduced to non-injurious levels, permitting movement. Succession, Communication and Logistics The succession to the health officer will be the chief of the medical care division, the deputy health officer and the director of the division of envirrhnmental hygiene in that order. Communications facilities will be commercial telephone with monitoring of the hospital radio network at the OC. Hospitals and ambulance services / will operate on a two-channel regional radio network. Equipment, supplies and services may be commandeered if normal procure- ment procedures are not functioning or will not satisfy an Orgent�requirement. • Complete, detailed records of all equipment, materials and services procured or commandeered must be maintained. Hospitals will maintain the usual fin- ancial and medical records. • � APPENDIX 8 - PUBLIC WORKS DEPART�ENT Concept • The Public Works Department will expand and modify its usual respon- sibilities to direct public and private engineering resources to maintain road networks, dispose of refuse, assist the �etropolitan Sewer Board, provide flood control and dabris clearance, and conduct radiological de- contamination operations with the technical guidance of the Health Bureau radiological defense (RADEF) staff. The Public Utilities Oepartment and the Parks, Playgrounds and Public Buildings Department will assist the Public Works DepartmeRt in accomplishing its tasks. , The extant public works organization will be in effect. The Bridge ,ureau will be augmented by personnel from the City Architect's office. Functions of Northern States Power Company and the Lighting Bureau will • be coordinated by the chief of the construction division. It is anticipated that the Public Works Department will be the primary agency in minimizing the effects of major natural disasters. The City For- ester's crews of the Parks, Recreation and Public Buildings Department will be assigned the clearing and removal of all downed trees and branches fol- lowing windstorms. - General Instructions Readiness conditions (REACONs) are indicators of the decline in inter- national relations. REACON 3 depicts a possible breach of international relations with a major power. REACON 2 indicates possible hostile action by a major power against the United States following a break in international relations, and REACON 1 is a Presidential declaration of national emergency or that hostilities have already occurred. REACONs might be issued in 3, • 2, 1 or 2, 1 sequence or just REACON l. � The OC and PWOC staffs will report with their families to City Hall. Equipment operators will report to their garages. If movement to their garages . is impossible, they will proceed to their assigned or nearest public fallout shelter with their families. The Public Works Department will assist the movement to public shelters as requested by the police to clear obstructi ons to movement. The public works engineering staff will be prepared to recommend expedient ways to increase radiation protection in public shelters and private homes. During the period of shelter, decontamination operations will be planned with the technical assistance of the RADEF staff and the Fire Protection Buresu staff. Decontamination operations will commence upon order from the director of civil defense. � All field operations will be regulated by radiation exposure control and • decontamination techniques. The mission dose will not exceed 50r and the equivalent residual dose (ERD) will not exceed 150r. Personal dose records will be maintained by each equipment operator. Loqistics, Communications and Succession The chief engineer may request the assistance of the Associated General Contractors using the concept of Plan Bulldozer. Suppliss, equipment and transportation may be commandeered. A record will be kept of all such transactions for future payment by the city. All equipment and supplies should be conserved because replacements will not be available. �anpower requirements will be coordinated with and procured by the civil service bureau. Existing commercial telephone and the Public Works radio system will be • used. Equipment will be dispatched from. the PWOC. A Northern Stetes Power Company radio monitor will be established in the PWOC. . • REACON 3 requires the chief engineer to notify the city architect, lighting bureau director and public works division heads. REACON 2 will also be relayed to them and to Northern States Power Company and the following actions will be taken: The chief engineer will order the activation of the public works operating center (pWOC) on the fifth floor of City Hall and will notify public works city operating center (OC) staff to report. Familiss of PWOC and OC staff inembers may report to the tenth floor, City Hall, for fallout shelter. All off duty equipment operators will report to 727 Front with their families and await instructions. All on duty equipment operators will rs- • turn to the garage and report to �idwest Spring Company, 906 North Dale, for fallout shelter. REACON 1, take cover warning, is signalled by the bell and lights - system receiver on position 3, and on the outdoor siren system as a wailing (warbling) tone of five minutes duration. Upon receipt of this warning, the radio operator at Eighth and Olive Streets will issue a general radio call for all personnel to take cover. To�take cover is to seek the best protection from the light, heat and blast of a nuclear detonation. If there is a nuclear detonation without warning, all persons should cover their eyes and then move to the strongest part of the building they are in or lie down behind a wall or in a depres- sion. If REACONs have not been announced and following an attack when the � • population is instructed to go to public fallout shelter, the following actions will be taken: Succession to the chief engineer will be the assistant chief engineer, the maintenance services engineer and bridge engineer in that order. • A�1 staffing patterns will reflect a three shift operation. Standing Operating Procedures (SOP) will be prepared for the operation of the PWOC and the several field installations. Staff call-up lists for the OC and PWOC will be reviewed and published semi-annually. • • APPENDIX 9 - CITY CLERK • Concept The Office of the City Clerk will record council proceedings, prepare " an historical record of substantive actions taken by the various depart- ments during the emergency 'and render clerical support to other depart- ments as directed. The existing office organization including the Bureau of Elections will be utilized. General Instructions Readiness Conditions (REACONs) are indicators of the decline in inter- national relations. REACON 3 depicts a possible breach of international relations with a major power. REACON 2 indicates possible hostile action by a major power against the United States following a break in international relations, and REACON 1 is a Presidential declaration of national emergsncy or that hostilities have already occurred. REACONs might be issued in 3, • 2, 1 or 2, 1 sequence or just REACON 1. REACON 3 will be relayed to the City Clerk by the Bureau of Civi1 De- fense. The clerk will then relay it to the recorder a�d assistant recorder of council proceedings and to the supervisor and assistant supervisor of elections. REACON 2. will require the following actions: All personnel of the City Clerk's office will report to the 8ureau of Elections in the basement of City Hall accompanied by their families. Fam- ilies will move to the 10th through 15th floors. REACON 1, attack warning, is signalled by the outdoor warning sirens and position 3 of the bell and lights receiver. All per�nnsl will immedi- ately seek the best protection, wherever they are, against the light, heat • and blast of a possible nuclear detonation. If REACON s have not been announced, and following an attack when the general population is instructed to go to public fallout shelter, all personnel will report to the Elections Bureau office. During the period of the emergency the City Clerk's office will: • Record Council proceedings Initiate and maintain an historical record of all substantive actions taken by city agencies to meet the emergency. The historical record will be abstracted fram records maintained by each agency. Provide clerical assistance to other departiments when necessary.
