Implementation Timeline NIMS compliance should be considered and undertaken as a community-wide event. By the end of the Federal Fiscal Year 2006 (September 2006), DHS/FEMA required that NIMS be adopted at the community level for all government departments and agencies (Tribal Government and Local Jurisdiction Compliance Activities: Federal fiscal year 2006). This could be done through a formal executive order, a proclamation, resolution, or legislation. This was to be done in concert with NIMS local government outreach to associations, utilities, non-governmental entities, and private sector incident management and response organizations. 54 Incident response organizations are numerous and include: ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Public health organizations Medical service organizations Private sector entities (especially energy utilities) Law enforcement officials Fire officials Public works officials Emergency management officials and others Local Government Goals for NIMS When NIMS is fully implemented, the local community or jurisdiction will be able to: ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Ensure common and proven incident management doctrine, practices, and principles are used to plan for, protect against, respond to, and recover from emergency incidents and preplanned events. Maintain a response operation capable of expanding to meet an escalating situation and the ability to integrate resources and equipment from intrastate and interstate mutual aid agreements, State-provided assistance, and Federal government response. Order and track response assets using common resource typing and definitions, and draw on mutual aid agreements for additional assistance. Establish staging and allocation plans for the re-distribution of equipment, supplies, and aid coming into the area from other localities, States, or the Federal government through mutual aid agreements. Conduct situational assessments and establish the appropriate ICS organizational structure to effectively manage the incident. Establish communication processes, procedures, and protocols that will ensure effective interoperable communications among emergency responders, 911 centers, and multi-agency coordination systems (emergency operations centers). C.5 Energy Emergency Assurance Coordinators System The Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (DOE/OE) maintains a passwordprotected Energy Emergency Assurance Coordinators (EEAC) website through which authorized State and local 54 The NIMS Integration Center is responsible for managing a helpful “NIMS On-Line” web site at http://www.nimsonline.com/. 88 | Appendix C – Federal Energy Assurance Planning and Response Initiatives
energy emergency coordinators may access valuable energy information and resources, including daily news summaries, emergency situation reports, lessons learned from other cities and States, links to outage and curtailment information, and the ability to email messages to up-to-date listings of colleagues in other jurisdictions. The EEAC system is a cooperative effort among NASEO, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the National Governors Association-Center for Best Practices, Public Technology Institute, and OE’s Infrastructure Security and Energy Reliability Division (ISER). It establishes a secure cooperative communications environment for State and local government personnel with access to information on energy supply, demand, pricing, and infrastructure. Designated members have expertise in electricity, petroleum, and natural gas. The membership is made up of representatives from State energy offices, Public Utility Commissions, State legislators, emergency management agencies, homeland security offices, and governors’ offices. In the event of an energy supply disruption or emergency, OE relies upon the EEAC contacts to provide an up-todate assessment of energy markets in the affected States. During these emergency situations, as well as other nonemergency situations in which the list may be used, the EEAC serves as the link between the affected jurisdiction, industry, and OE. The types of events that warrant communication with the EEAC network include: ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Large-scale events, such as an attack on the power grid, international oil disruption, hurricane, major ice storm Emerging problems, such as the spring gasoline change in non-attainment air quality areas that cause a significant increase in the number of terminals without a supply; very cold weather with requests for fuel driver hour waivers; price spikes; and other indicators of stress on the supply/distribution system’s ability to supply fuel Routine summer and winter energy assessments Simulations and exercises The types of non-proprietary information that should be shared include: ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Information that quantifies the size, scope and potential duration of the problem Geographic area affected Effects upstream and downstream in the energy supply/distribution system Public statements by State officials Specific actions taken by State or local governments to mitigate impacts Requests from industry for assistance and response In-State media reports that accurately describe the problem Local Government Energy Assurance Guidelines – Version 2.0 | 89
