STATE OF LOUISIANA - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN <- html version

II. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
B. Assumptions
1. The State is primarily responsible for natural and technological emergency preparedness, but has a shared responsibility with the Federal government for national security preparedness.
5. The initial actions of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery operations are conducted by local government. Local authorities will exhaust their resources, and then use mutual aid agreements with volunteer groups, the private sector and/or neighboring parishes.
6. State assistance will supplement local efforts and federal assistance will supplement State and local efforts when it is clearly demonstrated that it is beyond local and State capability to cope with the emergency/disaster.
III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
B. EXECUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION:
The Governor has delegated to the Director of the Louisiana Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (LOHSEP) the responsibility for implementation of this plan. The Director will implement this plan and procedures when the situation warrants. Should the Governor declare a state of emergency, the plan will automatically be activated.
IV. ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Organization
By direction of the Governor, each State department, agency, commission, special district and board with emergency or disaster responsibilities, along with local government, will have all-hazard emergency operations plans and implementing procedures. Authority and responsibility are to be as decentralized as possible to field units and to individuals responsible for actual performance of operations. State personnel must be trained in their responsibilities and working relationships and must have the authority to respond to emergency or disaster requests from the LOHSEP Director.
B. Responsibilities:
The Governor has the overall responsibility for emergency management in the state and is assisted in these duties by the LOHSEP Director. Tasks for those elements listed which have been given a primary or secondary shared responsibility for emergency/ disaster situations are contained in Attachment 3, Emergency Support Function (ESF) Responsibility Chart.
D. Federal
The Federal Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has the responsibility for the coordination of federal emergency/disaster operations and resources in support of state and local government capabilities, and for directing and coordinating the delivery of federal disaster relief assistance programs. Assistance efforts are organized and coordinated according to the policies and procedures detailed in the National Response Plan (NRP), dated 2004 and the National Incident Management System (NIMS), dated 2004.
V. DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A. The Governor is responsible for the coordinated delivery of all emergency services, public, quasi-volunteer, and private, during a natural, technological and/or national security emergency/disaster situation. The Governor has delegated the LOHSEP Director the authority to implement this plan, and to direct State-level emergency operations through the regularly constituted governmental structure.
B. In the event of an emergency/disaster, the needed elements of State government will be in the State EOC located at 7667 Independence Boulevard in Baton Rouge. Should the primary EOC become inoperative, isolated, and/or unusable, the LOHSEP Director shall issue relocation instructions to deployment teams for the preparation of the alternate State EOC at Camp Beauregard or at another location to be determined at the time.
C. Each State department or agency shall be under the general control of its respective Secretary/Director, etc., through his or her designated emergency representative. The emergency representative shall be empowered to make decisions, and expend resources (personnel, materials, supplies, equipment, facilities and funds) in providing operational and technical support to State and Local governments during any emergency/disaster incident.
D. Local governments are responsible under all applicable laws, executive orders, proclamations, rules, regulations, and ordinances for emergency management within their respective jurisdiction. Local emergency management organizations shall function from designated EOC's and are subject to the direction and control of the executive heads of government, in coordination with the Governor and the LOHSEP Director.
E. Upon activation of the State EOC, the operations staff and state agencies shall insure that the necessary personnel and resources are available. Those agency representatives should bring or have pre-positioned plans, procedures, resource inventories, supplies, and notification lists needed to facilitate emergency/disaster operations.
VII. ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS
I. The State of Louisiana is a signatory to the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), as stated in the Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance and Disaster Act of 1993 as amended. If an emergency becomes too widespread or serious for parish and state resources, the Director LOHSEP will process a request for assistance through EMAC.
SUPPLEMENTS PUBISHED SEAPARATLY:
1A - Southeast Louisiana Hurricane and Evacuation Plan
1B - Southwest Louisiana Hurricane and Evacuation Plan

The general impression I get reading this plan, the FEMA plan; and noting the presence of a National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC); is that coordinating of assistance through ANY level of government is a particularly complex bureaucratic puzzle. No wonder Wal-Mart and others are more nimble.

And the priority item that we chrge government with, maintaining civil order, is one thing that it did not do well.
