Background
There is a need to provide evacuation notice to the residences of Pincher Creek in the event of an evacuation.
To give a alert notice to the residents of Pincher Creek, of a evacuation. This would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 24-72 hours notice. So we will be training ourselves to go and alert the people of this. While in the same exercise, educate people of what they can do to prepare by reading the pamphlets we give them and directing them to the websites for further information or the library. We ant to show that we can provide more than missing persons searches. We will also not likely be in the lead role in this as there may be numerous other resources doing other things during an actual incident.
Mission/Values/Purpose/Goals for the Plan
Mission: Provide a valuable, professional resource to the humans of the pincher creek area. Value: Our value in participating in this exercise will be to further demonstrate we do more than “search and rescue” of lost or missing persons.
Purpose: To measure Pincher Creek SAR’s ability to respond in a professional manor to aid in the notification of residences of a natural or other hazard imminent up on them. Goals: It is our goal to demonstrate we are ready to respond when needed in many roles in the scope of Search and Rescue
Assessment
- Did we cover the notification area within the given time?
- Did we maintain radio communication all the time?
- Was there a time when we could not get to a team of our own people to remove from a hazard or personal emergency?
- Were we professional?
Scope of Plan
So here in a nut shell is the just. A command post will set up for more then one reason. One being to help out on our exercise and the other will be for show and tell. Believe me we have lots to tell about the old beast.
The Planning Sections Chief
Will have made a determination what particular area needs to be given notification of a possible evacuation. And also see that we meet the Exercise objective(s).
The Operations Section Chief
will be developing a plan to cover the area we have been assigned. This will be based on the mount of people that attend through the sign up sheet and actually show up. What will need to happen is for a Strike Team of three (one leader and two field personal) to go to an assigned area with the leader in a vehicle following the other members of the team down the road ways. What this does is to provide a good secure and accountable way to the field personal. Be aware that being highly visible is going to pay off for us here. The last thing we need is for us to look like we are blending into the area and appear as thieves or worse. When you start on the search area is going to be up to the Operations chief to appear to be efficient.
Logistics Section
Service Branch
Communications unit
You’re going to need to have three FRS radios for each team using a different channel for each team. Each team will also have a portable big radio to keep in touch with the command post, held by the team leader in the vehicle. This will cut down on the chatter of everyone trying to see if someone is talking to them r not and also make us more efficient.
Support Branch
Transportation Unit
A back up vehicle will need to be staffed for a possible evacuation of our own field personal. In this you will need to have a person who knows the area, map, big radio and a FRS radio with the list of what teams are using what. All communication will go through the Command Post. This is a way of covering our butts and also to replace personal that need to come out for various reasons (bio brake, pizza run)
Equipment
High visibility will be needed and identification too. This includes the general staff in the command post or operations section.
Field personal will need to have a SAR Coat hopefully and or a high Visibility vest and ID. No need for a kit on your back as your vehicle can house your 24 hour pack. Water m first aid kit and snacks would be good to carry on you. Clothing for the environment, radio, maps and clip board, etc, will be needed.
Overhead Team will need a command post fully stocked with local maps that are up to date.
Public Education
Printed brochures from the government, local government brochures, PCSAR information possible with our next recruitment date and SAR course, bags to hang on door knobs with pamphlets in.
