TIER II Wyoming Project
TIER II Wyoming Project Aimee Binning #IAEM16
Objectives Identify the incident that called for Community Right to Know Act Identify the purpose of TIER II Reports Discuss the Local Level Project of with TIER II Reports Identify the Wyoming Project with TIER II Reports Identify the Value of the Project
BHOPAL 0100 December 2, 1984, A US Owned Union Carbide Plant in in Bhopal India began leaking 27 tons of the deadly gas - Methyl Isocyanate. Heavier Than Oxygen Half A Million Exposed 8,000 DEAD in the first week
SARA Title III - EPCRA 1986 Congress Passed, President Ronald Reagan Signed into Law: To establish a state and local chemical emergency response planning structure Require reporting of hazardous substance releases to public Provide facility reports, chemical inventory and hazard information to state and local government, emergency responders and public (Need To Know) ID major sources of toxic chemical releases
EM Circle of LIFE
Purpose TIER II DATA Share Facility Plans, Chemical Storage Use information for Community Response Plans Assist in HIRA Process for Responders IDENTIFY GAPS – training, equipment, capabilities
FACILITIES ASK….WHY, Why, WHY What is the Point?......Just Sits in a Drawer………. I File a Report Then What?
Do You know What your Responders are Going to?
So That is the HX…. What Happens So in April 2014 Albany County needed to figure out If we are Using TIER II as intended…..
Validation Exposed Areas for Improvement Albany County - Validate The Submission of TIER II between Facilities • Reports were not going to all required entities • Facility Information was not being utilized by the LEPC, or Responders • Limited Planning and HIRA Information Available for Responders WE NEED CHANGE! TIER II Information could be useful in Prevention of DEATH Public and Responders
Setting Local Priorities • Local Project – Albany County Emergency Management, City of Laramie Fire Department, Regional Response Team #3, Albany County LEPC 1. Include Facilities in Local Planning and Capabilities Assessment 2. Identify TIER II in CAD System for Early Notification 3. TIER II Data – Predesigned Plume Modeling 4. Include Plume Model in reverse 911 Program for Quick Notification to Public • Shelter or Evacuation Messages • Identify Evacuation Plans and Shelter in Place Instructions, • School Day Care and Special Populations
Plume Model
Local Successes 1. EARLY NOTIFICATION FOR RESPONDERS 2. Familiarization with TIER II facilities in our area 3. Familiarization with Facility Response Plans and Response Capabilities 4. Share Responder Capabilities with LEPC for Top Community Hazards
• Evacua&on Plan Tied the informa.on to other plans
• Communica&on Plan • Transporta&on Plan • Sheltering Plan • Community Preparedness Plan
Center of Influence
You? Who do you work with?
Still have a Gap from Audit GAP - Reports were not going to all required entities………. LETS ENGAGE PARTNERS…… SERC Wyoming Office of Homeland Security TIER II Facilities and EPA
In 2014 Took the GAP to the SERC • What are other states doing? - EPA and State Reported • State Hosted Portals • Dissemination of Info from TIER II Facilities to Locals responsibility of Reporting Facility. • Vendors for Portals can be costly!
• Make Filing Easy for Facili&es Priori.ze Or Objec.ves
• Share informa&on with Responders • Know the Impacts to the Ci&zen • Planning for the incident
CYCLE TIER II DATA Submission

FINAL RESULTS Single Access Portal Information disseminated to all required entities Plume Model for Every RERT, LEPC, Reverse 911 System for every County in WY
Better Info for Responders
Additional Results • EPA Developed a LEPC 101 Course and Delivery in Region 8 • Education from SERC to Industry on TIER II Portal, EPCRA, SERC and LEPC • Information Consistency from TIER II to Responders • Modeling consistent for Responders and Planners assists with Interoperability and Communication
Summary of Results Community Right to Know Act - NOT FOR SITTING IN A FILE CABINET! Simplified Reporting process for TIER II Consistency of Information Shared to Responder Best Practices of LEPC Roles and Education Increased Industry Involvement with LEPC’s Early Access to Modeling Information Consistent Modeling for Responders * Increase ability for early notification to responders and public
GAPs To be Addressed • Identifying facilities that need to report TIER II Data utilizing information from: BBB, SBA, Chamber of Commerce, and State of Wyoming Secretary of State • Partnership with Dispatchers in each County to ID TIER II Facilities for early notification
