DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE:

Executive Director Reflects on 1997 Ohio River Flood

Sima Merick

By SIMA MERICK
Executive Director
Ohio Emergency Management Agency

I happened to take a look at a Situation Report dated March 10, 1997 that started with…

Beginning on or about February 28th, 1997, severe storms spread across the state of Ohio dumping 6 to 10 inches by March 1, 1997.  The entire state was under a flood watch, with many areas under flood warnings.  As a result of the heavy rains a state of emergency was declared in five counties.  With the continuation of rain, nine additional counties were added to the Governor’s declaration.  On March 5, 1997, two more counties were added for a total of 16 counties now included in the Governor’s declaration, all in southern and southeastern Ohio, for severe flooding.

This situation report also reminded me that we had seven fatalities in four counties by March 10th.  Preliminary Damage Assessments reported 883 homes destroyed, 1,647 with major damage, 2,390 with minor damage and another 1,662 listed as affected.  In total, 6,582 structures were impacted by this flood with 2,530 structures (38 percent) being destroyed or heavily damaged.   Schools were forced to close, five water treatment plants were inoperable with 13 systems on “boil alerts”, 800 homes were still without power, there were Recovery Centers open in six counties and the list goes on and on.

Reading this SitRep, as we approach the 20 year anniversary of the Ohio River Flood, got me thinking about how our roles as Emergency Managers have changed in many ways while still remaining the same.  We now have our eyes on and involvement with cyber, anti-terrorism, school shootings, high profile protests, drinking water issues, Ebola, etc.  We have gone from weekend and off-hour duty officer coverage to a 24/7 watch office.  However, we still plan, prepare and train to respond to all emergencies from all-hazards. We are a unique and caring group of individuals who demonstrate flexibility and compassion in this growing diversity of mission.

Moving forward, as we meet with people across the state in wake of future disasters, let us all keep the memory of those victims and survivors from previous events in our every thought and action. Providing compassionate, caring, professional assistance to the people of Ohio in their most trying of times.

Thirty-one Graduate 2017 Introduction to EM Class

Intro Course

.

The annual delivery of the OH230 Introduction to Emergency Management class was held February 13-16, 2017.  This three-and-a-half day course covers nine different units and three additional presentations by Ohio Homeland Security, the Ohio National Guard and Local Emergency Planning Committees.  This course has been offered for nearly 30 years and the various units cover important topics on the branches and programs of Ohio EMA as well as a legal discussion, all phases of emergency managements and a series of exercises to keep the class engaged.  This year there were 31 people registered with 21 presenters throughout the course.  This was an excellent opportunity for attendees to not only learn about how emergency management works in Ohio but also for networking and partnership building.

A Busy Exercise Season this Spring

Each year about 800 incidents occur in Ohio that involve the release of hazardous materials, according to the Ohio EPA. County Local Emergency Planning Committees or LEPCs are responsible under Ohio Revised Code 3750 to plan for the release of such dangerous chemicals. A critical part of that planning includes a requirement that these local plans be exercised.

Over a four-year period, each county must demonstrate that their plans adequately address 13 different objectives such as public protective actions, initial incident notifications, and community warning procedures. These objectives are demonstrated during their annual exercises that are evaluated by regional staff of the Ohio EMA on behalf of the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC).

Ohio EMA regional staff are currently in the midst of the “exercise season” as these annual drills are to be completed by June 30th each year. Within the next 120 days, more than 60 exercises will be conducted across the state and will involve local, regional and state resources demonstrating their abilities to carry out the procedures established in each local plan. Fourteen counties have already conducted their exercises for SFY17.

Ohio Severe Weather Awareness Poster Contest Open to Students in Grades 1 through 6

poster

The Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness is looking for students in first through sixth grades, including specialized instruction classes, to participate in its annual poster contest. The purpose of the severe weather awareness poster contest is to engage Ohio’s youth in learning the importance of severe weather safety and to demonstrate through illustrations, actions they can take before, during and after severe weather events to protect themselves and others.

Tornadoes, floods, thunder and lightning storms, extreme heat, and winter storms are weather conditions that typically affect the state.

 “As educators, parents and mentors, we are committed to teach safety and preparedness to our students – our children,” said Sima Merick, executive director of the Ohio Emergency Management Agency. “Because Ohio has had mild winters two years in a row, it kind of opens us up to more rain and wind events. We’ve seen multiple days of 60-degree weather this winter. So, we really need to be prepared for anything: heavy rain, snowstorms, even tornadoes. This poster contest provides the perfect opportunity for students to learn about Ohio weather and severe weather safety and preparedness.”

Ohio schools have until Monday, April 17 to send their first-place posters (per grade) to their regional National Weather Service offices. The NWS offices will judge all poster entries and choose their top regional winners, per grade. Then in early May, the Severe Weather Awareness Committee will judge the top regional posters to determine the state and overall state winners.

Schools will be notified of their regional winners by the end of May. All regional winners will be invited to attend the poster contest awards ceremony, which will be held at the Ohio State Fair’s Janis Center on Saturday, July 29.

The prizes are big and the day’s event is fun. All regional winners will receive two entry passes for the day at the Ohio State Fair. All regional-winning students will receive a host of prizes, certificates and awards. State-level winners for each grade will receive additional prizes, and the overall state winner will receive even more, along with a personalized trophy. The overall winner’s school will be loaned a “traveling trophy” to showcase during the school year.

 For complete rules and forms to participate in the poster contest, visit the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness website at www.weathersafety.ohio.gov or click here.

 The Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness is comprised of 16 organizations and state agencies that are dedicated in teaching Ohioans severe weather safety and preparedness.

Spring Severe Weather Awareness Week March 19-25

In a coordinated effort with the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness (OCSWA), Governor John R. Kasich is proclaiming March 19-25 as Severe Weather Awareness Week and encourages all Ohioans to learn what to do to protect themselves from spring and summer weather hazards and home emergencies.

As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, as coordinated by OCSWA, the state of Ohio will participate in a statewide tornado drill and test its Emergency Alert System (EAS) on Wednesday, March 22 at 9:50 a.m. During this time, Ohio counties will sound and test their outdoor warning sirens. Schools, businesses and households are encouraged to practice their tornado drills and emergency plans.

According to Ohio Fire Code 409.2, schools must conduct tornado drills at least once a month whenever in session during the tornado season. Ohio’s “tornado season” is April 1 – July 30. See the State Fire Marshal’s letter and emergency/drill form. Schools that participate in the statewide drill in March can usually credit that date as their required April tornado drill. Administrators can verify with their local fire chiefs.

The Ohio Insurance Institute (OII) has severe weather safety material ready for distribution to all Ohio elementary schools. Based on suggestions by county EMA directors, OII has provided schools with a link that lists county EMA directors and encourage schools to contact their local directors with any questions they have pertaining to severe weather preparedness and/or to review schools’ emergency procedures.

The OII is shipping severe weather safety materials to all Ohio schools (public and private), instructing grades 1-6. This equates to more than 3,200 school buildings across the state. Included will be: two posters; a coloring/activity sheet; a teacher’s guide; and instructions on how to download these tornado safety materials from OII's Website (links for teacher’s guide and coloring sheet are at the bottom of this message).

As the EMA Director, you may order the following OII materials to distribute in your county: up to 250 coloring sheets; 25 posters; 25 Teacher’s Guides.

To order materials, e-mail Deborah Lawlor (deborahl@ohioinsurance.org) with your desired quantities.

Edgewood Schools Hold Tabletop Exercise

Edgewood schools TTX

Edgewood City School District, with support from Butler County EMA, conducted a Hazardous Materials Tabletop Exercise in January.  The exercise involved Edgewood High School and Edgewood School District with support from the Butler County Educational Services Center and other Butler County school districts.  The exercise tested the district’s Emergency Operations Plan; particularly, shelter in place, communications, evacuation and student reunification.

The exercise was supported by more than 60 participants including emergency responders from Butler County law enforcement, fire departments, and state and county emergency management agencies.  The exercise identified areas of improvement that will be applied to future planning considerations and training opportunities.  This is an important step in creating a comprehensive emergency management program for all schools and districts in Butler County. 

With the evolving Administrative Code for school plans and exercises, all schools and districts are required to establish an exercise cycle.  More exercises are planned for 2017 with the schools and districts and the EMA will support all community partners in developing a comprehensive emergency management program.
