Info

Approximately 10,000 of these citizens were transported by federal response agencies. In addition to receiving thousands of evacuees from other states due to natural or manmade disasters, Georgia may receive citizens being evacuated from a foreign country for various reasons through repatriation. In 2006, Georgia served as host to several thousand Americans who evacuated from Lebanon when armed conflicts broke out between Lebanese and Israeli forces. In 2010, Georgia served as a host for citizens of Haiti that were evacuated for medical treatment as a result of a devastating earthquake. Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Threats and Hazards Natural Technological Human-Caused Resulting from acts of nature Involves accidents or the failures of systems and structures Caused by the intentional actions of an adversary Storm Surge Drought Inland Flooding Severe Weather Severe Winter Weather Tropical Cyclonic Systems Tornados Wildfire Wind Seismic Hazards Sinkholes Dam Failure Hazardous Materials Release Utilities Failure Transportation Incidents Structural Collapse Radiological Release Improvised Explosive Device/Large Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (IED/LVBIED) Attack Individual Violent Extremist (IVE) Attack Suspicious Package Attack Organized Terrorism Attack Civil Disturbance Cyber Attack Chemical Agent Attack Improvised Nuclear Device/Radiologica l Dispersal Device (IND/RDD) Attack Biological Attack B. Impact Analysis Not only must hazards be identified in Georgia, but their potential impact upon many elements must be examined to include: the health and safety of persons in the affected area at the time of the incident; the health and safety of personnel responding to the incident; continuity of governmental operations; effect on property, facilities, and infrastructure; the delivery of essential services, affect upon the environment; economic and financial condition of the affected region; regulatory and contractual obligations of the state and the public’s confidence in the state. The information for these Georgia Emergency Operations Plan 2013 18 of 71
potential impacts were drawn from several agencies that maintain records of natural and technological events that have created hazardous incidents in Georgia, and the record of the impacts of those hazards ( such as those contained in the State of Georgia Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan). Additionally, impact assessments were gathered from subject matter experts and reliable intelligence sources in those areas where the hazard has not yet occurred (such as terrorist attack) to include GEMA/HS staff, academic institutions and state and federal agencies. The potential impact factors, as mentioned above, were rated as High, Medium or Low, for each of the potential impacts. These impact factors are used to help influence the planning process and prioritization for GEMA/HS. Potential Impact Evacuation of coastal Georgia and portions of bordering states into Georgia Evacuation of hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities with vulnerable populations Evacuation of animals Requirement to shelter thousands of coastal residents and animals in shelters inland Significant loss of life Damage or destruction of infrastructure (roads, bridges, energy systems) Personal property loss Destruction of irreplaceable historical structures and objects Mass care and feeding operations Requests for ground transportation assistance Temporary and interim housing Civil unrest increased security demands Increased demand on health care systems Increased demand on social services Significant unemployment and loss of revenue from damaged or destroyed businesses Overcrowding in schools Georgia Emergency Operations Plan 2013 19 of 71
