Re: Community Rating System
Dear Mr. Ellison:
Q316 -7
Regarding the Community Rating System (CRS) of the National Flood Insur-
ance Program (NFIP), the City of Lubbock is making application as a ser-
vice to our citizens. By participating, we are reducing flood damage to
existing buildings, protecting new buildings beyond the minimum NFIP
protection level, helping interested people obtain flood data and help-
ing property owners obtain flood insurance.
To these ends, I hereby certify that the City of Lubbock is implementing
those activities designated on the enclosed summary and application
worksheets. The City will continue to implement these activities and
will advise the Federal Emergency Management Agency if any of them are
not being conducted in accordance with this application.
I have designated Mr. Jim Bertram, Assistant City Manager for Develop-
ment Services, as Lubbock CRS Coordinator. He can be reached at (806)
767-2013.
The City of Lubbock owns several facilities located within Special Flood
Hazard Areas that are not covered by Flood Insurance policies. However,
the City is self -insured and is seeking an exemption to the requirement
for purchase of Flood Insurance under the National Flood Insurance Pro-
gram Regulations, Part 75-Exemption of State Owned Properties Under Self
Insurance Plan. The City is in the process of application for this
exemption to the Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator.
For further assistance contact Jim Bertram. Thank you for your time in
this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
e '
B. C. "Peck" McMinn
Mayor
NOTICE OF APPLICATION
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The City of Lubbock, Texas is applying to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for classification in the Community Rating
System (CRS) of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
As certain activities are accomplished, the City accumulates points. At
specified point levels, citizens who purchase flood insurance can gain
reductions in their flood insurance premiums.
A brief description of the activities that the City is applying for
follows.
Activity 310 - Elevation Certificate: The City Building Inspection
Department has maintained FEMA Elevation Certificates since April, 1987
and will continue to do so.
Activity 320 - Map Determinations: The City responds to all inquiries
about whether a particular property is or is not located in a Special
Flood Hazard Area (Flood Zone). The service is currently provided
without charge to the inquirer. We have a determination form that is
filled out and kept for each inquiry. The service is to be,publicized
by articles in newsletters to realtors and insurance agents and mailouts
to lenders and appraisers.
Activity 340 - Hazard Disclosure: As a help to prospective property
buyers, real estate agents now have a required field in their profile
sheet for the Multiple Listing Service noting that Flood Insurance is or
is not required or that it has not yet been determined. This is an
effort to make prospective buyers aware as soon in the process as
possible. Current Federal Law requires only that the lender advise a
person of the flood hazard ten (10) days before closing on the loan.
Activity 350 - Flood Protection Library: The Mahon Library will house,
maintain and publicize the availability of documents on flood hazard
areas and flood protection measures. Publication will be through news
releases and public service announcements to the media. A display of
materials and services available will be arranged during the spring.
Activity 360 - Flood Protection Assistance: We keep photographs of
playas and surrounding areas after most big rains, for historical data.
We also have the calculated flood elevations from the Flood Insurance
Study as well as a Drainage Study done to higher standards. We provide
this information upon request. An announcement will be put in the paper
each year, maybe in spring.
Activity 420 - Open Space Preservation: City Codes prohibit the
reclaiming of more than 30% of a lake area. The balance is saved as
open space. Most of the lake areas are also parks, so credit is also
sought as closed basin lakes.
Activity 430 - Higher Regulatory Standards: The City's policy is that a
builder cannot get a building permit in a Special Flood Hazard Area
unless the lowest floor (including basement) is at a minimum elevation
of the Base (or 100-year) Flood Elevation (B.F.E.) + 1 foot OR Estimated
High Water Level previously set by the City + 2 feet, whichever is
higher. The minimum of the extra foot above B.F.E (freeboard) is the
higher standard. The City Codes also require compensatory storage in
the lake. If the lake is modified by a cut and fill plan or redesign of
the lake area or if water which is not natural run-off water is added,
the original water holding capacity of the lake shall not be diminished.
Credit is also sought by virtue of these requirements being implemented
in closed basin lakes (which is classed as a Special Hazard).
Activity 540 - Drainage System Maintenance: The City does have two
natural drainage channels within it's corporate limits. Yellowhouse
Canyon and Blackwater Draw merge and become the North Fork of the Double
Mountain Fork of the Brazos River, inside the City. A string of lakes
has been on built in the Canyon to provide some water recreation
outlets. MacKenzie State Park and Meadowbrook Golf Course are also
sited in the Canyon. Some lakes are kept in a more natural state to
benefit the wildlife.
The most widespread and pervasive drainage feature on the South Plains
is the playa (pronounced ply`-uh) lake. The primarily wet weather lakes
or depressions dot the landscape at an average rate of 1-2 every square
mile. Most of the playas still hold water during the dry times and the
land around most of the lakes in the developed or developing areas is
make into parks to provide neighborhood recreational locations. The
parks (playa or canyon) are maintained, not periodically, but
continually. Since these are the predominant portion of the drainage
system and we are already doing the task, we are seeking credit for it.
The documentation would be from the daily work logs of the various
maintenance foremen.
The City maintenance endeavors to keep the roadside ditches cut to a
reasonable length. The CRS exempts curbed street cleaning and
underground storm sewers from the requirements of this activity. The
City Codes prohibit dumping in any lake area.
Activity 610 - Flood Warning Program: The flooding that occurs in
Lubbock is not stream based but playa lake based. The watersheds are
much smaller than would probably be encountered in a stream based
situation. The lake containing the runoff is generally saucer -shaped,
very broad with gently sloping sides. This allows the lakes to spread
out ever larger and thus rise very slowly, even if there is a very large
volume of water. This gives the City a large lead time for notification
of isolating of properties adjacent to a lake, if it happens at all.
This is quite different from a large watershed and the runoff confined
in a relatively narrow channel which would be typical of most stream
2
based flooding. During rains.the lake levels are -monitored by
Engineering, Streets and Emergency Preparedness personnel, with
information radioed to the Emergency Operations Center. The media is
notified and fire and police units will be sent into affected areas with
siren and public address systems to warn occupants, if necessary.
Another thing -that we don't get is great -velocities that will push a-
building off of its foundation. The City Emergency Preparedness
Director - Jim Weston, estimates that potential flooding conditions can
be predicted and the public alerted four -to -eight hours before rising
water isolates any commercial building or residence.
The plan is all hazard and reviewed annually. The plan is exercised
annually and updated if deficiencies are -noted. "Severe weather
procedures are reviewed annually with National Weather Service, City of
Lubbock, Texas Department of Public Safety and media representatives.
As deficiencies are noted, changes are made.
Activity 630 - Dam Safety: The City of Lubbock is not affected by a
dam, so we are counting the credit allowed from the State's Dam Safety
Program, which we understand is accepted by FEMA for CRS Credit.

310 Elevation Certificate _
Lubbock joined the Regular -Program, September 2, 1982. All of the
buildings built after that date are post -FIRM Buildings. The number of
post -FIRM Buildings has not..been determined: Po=0
The City's earliest FEMA Elevation Certificate is dated April 13, 1987.
When a builder comes to the City for a building permit, he has a survey
-certificate with a designation,. -determined by the surveyor, that the lot
does or does not lie within the 100 year flood zone as shown on panel
such -and -such. If a letter of map amendment/revision (LOMA/LOMR) has
been issued for the property, that is reflected in the survey
certificate as not being in the 100 year flood zone. A building permit
-is issued on that basis.- If -the lot does not lie within the flood zone,
the permit is issued. If the lot does lie within the flood zone, a
_properly completed elevation certificate is required before a building
permit is issued. We currently have 31 elevation certificates on paper.

320 Map Determinations_.
The City responds to all inquires. Sometimes a street address will
suffice for the determination, but we like to have a Legal Description
to double check ourselves and the inquirer, particularly for those
locations that are borderline. The FIRM Determination Form is completed
and signed by the Engineering Department Official. The Determinations
are currently done without charge to the inquirer. The form is then
kept in notebook. If the inquirer needs something in writing to submit
to a lender, etc. A copy of the form is supplied along with supporting
information, as deemed necessary, (copy of map with -location
highlighted, cover panel, right-of-way map, contour map or aerial
photograph).
Publicizing the service is not particularly easy in Lubbock. There are
the Lubbock Association of Realtors and The West Texas Home Builders
Association newsletters which cover the majority of those two (2)
groups. The Independent Insurance Agents of Lubbock newsletter only
covers about 3-dozen agencies. Scores and scores more have no
affiliation or local association and must be called individually. This
has been done to publicize the NFIP Seminar in December. Now we know
which agencies sell flood insurance and in the future will contact only
them. Lenders and appraisers must also be called individually. We are
initially making all of these groups aware of our service and also
encouraging them to procure their own set of maps. Probably thereafter
we will notify just the lenders, insurance and real estate agencies in
the annual notice.
We have copies of the newsletters and our rosters for contacting the
appropriate agencies and companies.

340 Hazard Disclosure
The Realtors have required field in their profile sheet for the Multiple
Listing Service noting that flood insurance is (Y) or is not (N)
required or that it has not yet been determined (?).
The agents are learning to notify prospective buyers about flood
insurance although it is still a struggle to remember. In talking to
some realtors, insurance agents and lenders, we found that they are
unclear or just uninformed about requirements, flood zones, maps,
LOMA/LOMR's and other aspects of the program. In an effort to remedy
this, an NFIP Seminar has been scheduled for December 11, 1991, at one
of the local Civic Center meeting rooms. It is tailored for insurance
agents and lenders, but real estate agents, appraisers, surveyors,
engineers, home builders, developers, etc., are being invited to attend.
Notices have been put in the newsletters of the Independent Insurance
Agents of Lubbock, West Texas Home Builders Association and the Lubbock
Association of Realtors to help notify those groups. The local
newspaper has run a notice, also. The insurance agencies that are not
in IIAC and the appraisers, engineers, surveyors, etc., have been
contacted individually by mail to make them aware of this educational
opportunity.

350 Flood Protection Librar
The maps and publications on flood insurance, protecting a building,
community floodplain management, flood hazard mitigation, and an up-to-
date directory, from FEMA, Corps of Engineers, Tennessee Valley
_.._..._ Authority and other sources are housed and maintained at the Mahon
Library -which is located downtown. The documents have been cataloged
(and new ones undoubtedly will be as they are acquired) and will be made
available for inspection or distribution. LIB s 4 + 2 + 8 + 3 + 3 = 20.
The Library's Public Service Director, Jane Clausen, has written the
remainder of the section. There are no locally produced documents.

FROM: Jane Clausen -
SUBJECT: Flood Related Documents at Library
DATE: November 6, 1991
The Mahon Library will gladly assume the task of housing, maintaining,
and publicizing available documents on flood related matters to the
Lubbock community.
Material to remain in the library will be maintained in the reference
query file. Patrons who need to use such documents need only to ask
a reference librarian and the file will be retrieved for their use.
When materials are available in sufficient quantities, patrons will
have unlimited access to the publication. Interlibrary loan service
is also available for documents the library does not own.
This collection will be publicized through distribution of news
releases and public service announcements to the 'local media.
During the springtime flood season, a special display of materials
as services available will be arranged. A lecture on flood insurance
and other issues of concern to homeowners could also be scheduled in
the library's Community Room.

We keep photographs of playas and surrounding areas, after most big
rains, so we have some historical data. We also have the, projected
flood elevations from the Flood Insurance Study as well as a Drainage
Study done to higher standards (fully developed conditions). We do
provide this information upon -request.
An announcement will be put in the paper each year, maybe in early
spring.

420 Ooen Saace Preservation
The City Codes Section 25-4"(f)(4)a prohibits reclaiming more than 30%
of the total area in a lake area. So at least 70% of the lake area is
saved as open space.
Lubbock's parks (the parts that are inside the SFHA) are taken to be
open space OS. The planimetered area of the parks (minus the lakes
greater than 10 acres) is 3,369 acres - 208 = 3,161 acres. The SFHA for
the City is 4,960 acres.
aRF = 4,960. rOS = 161 = 0.64 aDR = 0

The playa (wet weather) lakes are closed basin lakes. Credit for open
space preservation in Special Hazard Areas is sought.

430 Higher Regulatory Standards
The City has a policy that a builder cannot get a building permit in a
SFHA unless the lowest floor is at a minimum elevation of the BFE + I
foot or the H.W.L. set by the City (under fully developed conditions) +
2 feet, whichever is higher. Most of the old H.W.L., set by the City,
__were 50-year rains (under fully developed conditions). In looking at
the Flood Insurance Study, most 50-year Peak Water Surface Elevations
were less than 1 foot below the 100-year. Since our calculations are
done on fully developed conditions, not existing, the peak -water surface
elevation would be even a little higher.
Since freeboard is a minimum of 1 foot above BFE, that is all we are --
claiming. FRB = 25 x 1 = 25, FDN - CSI - LSI = PCF - 0.
City Codes do require compensatory storage for new development, as
shown. PSC = 80.
The area of the SFHA outside the parks is 4960 = 3369 - 1,591 acres.
rFRB = 1591 - 0.32. rPSC = 1591 - 0.32
4960 4960
cFRB = 25 x 0.32 x 1.0 = 8
cPSC = 80 x 0.32 x 1.0 = 26
From mapping and regulating of closed basin lakes, CBR - 60 since new
structures must be built on fill at or above the regulatory elevation.
aCBR = 3161 acres rCBR = 3161 - 0.64
4960
cCBR = 60 x .64 = 38
cSH= (0 + 38 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0) x 1.00=38.
c430 = 8 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 26 + 0 + 38 = 72.

§ 21-16 LUBBOCK CODE
Area of special flood hazard is the land in the floodplain within a community subject to a
one (1) per cent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. The area may be designated as
Zone A on the flood hazard boundary map (FHBM). After detailed ratemaking has been
completed in preparation for publication of the FIRM, Zone A usually is refined into Zones A,
AE, AH, AO, Al-99, VO, V1-30, VE or V.
Base flood means the flood having a one (1) per cent chance of being equaled or exceeded
in any given year.
Critical feature means an integral and readily identifiable part of a flood protection
system, without which the flood protection provided by the entire system would be compromised.
Development means any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, includ-
ing but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving,
excavation or drilling operations.
Elevated building means a nonbasement building (1) built, in the case of a building in
Zones Al-30, AE, A, A99, AO, AH, B, C, X and D, to have the top of the elevated floor, or in
the case of a building in Zones V1-30, VE and V, to have the bottom of the lowest horizontal
structure member of the elevated floor, elevated above the ground level by means of pilings,
columns (posts and piers) or shear walls parallel to the floor of the water, and (2) adequately
anchored so as not to impair the structural integrity of the building during a flood of up to the
magnitude of the base flood. In the case of Zones Al-30, AE, A, A99, AO, AH, B. C, X and D,
"elevated building" also includes a building elevated by means of fill or solid foundation
perimeter walls with openings sufficient .to facilitate the unimpeded movement of flood
waters. In the case of Zones V1-30, VE and V, "elevated building" also includes a building
otherwise meeting the definition of "elevated building", even though the lower area is
enclosed by means of breakaway walls, if the breakaway walls meet the standards of Section
60.3(eX5) of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations.
Existing structures means, for the purpose of determining rates, structures for which the
"start of construction" commenced before the effective date of the FIRM or before January 1,
1975, for FIRM's effective before that date.
Flood or flooding means a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inunda-
tion of normally dry land areas from:
(1) The overflow of inland waters.
(2) The unusual and rapid accumulation of runoff of surface waters from any source.
Flood hazard boundary map (FHBAD means an official map of a community where the
areas within the boundaries of special flood hazards have been designated as Zone A.
Flood insurance rate map (FIRM means an official map of a community on which the
Federal Emergency Management Agency has delineated both the areas of special flood haz-
ards and the risk premium zones applicable to the community.
C
Flood insurance study is the official report provided by the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency. The report, contains flood profiles and the water surface elevation of the base
flood, as well as the flood hazard boundary map i r

(Ord. No. 7642, § 1, 4-13-78; Code 1959, § 12A-4) .
Sec. 21-24. Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard.
The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study for the
City of Lubbock, Texas," dated March 18,198yrith accompanying flood insurance rate maps
to be a art.of this article. (Ord. No. 7642, § 1, 4-13-78; Ord.

Sec. 21-25. Increased flood heights; liability.
. The degree of flood protection required by this article is considered reasonable for regulatory
purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. On rare occasions greater
floods can and will occur and flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This
article does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within
such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This article shall not create liability on the
part of the city or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance
on this article or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. (Ord. No. 7642, § 1,

schemes. As solar and alternate energy technology advances, and "solar rights" become more
established under the law, this section may be expanded to better provide for public and
private rights. At present, the main objective for the subdivider shall consist of orientation of
blocks and lots on an east/west axis such that southerly exposure for structures is maximized.

540 Drainage System Maintenance
The City does have two natural drainage channels within its corporate
limits. Yellowhouse Canyon comes from the northwest through the north
central part of the City where Blackwater Draw meets it and they merge
to become the North Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River
and proceed to the southeast. A string of lakes has been built in the
canyon to provide some water recreation outlets. MacKenzie State Park
and Meadowbrook Golf Course are also sited in the canyon. Some lakes
are kept in a more natural state to benefit the wildlife.
The most widespread and pervasive drainage feature on the South Plains
is the playa (pronounced - Pli-uh) lake. The primarily wet weather lake
or depression dots the landscape at an average rate of 1-2 every square
mile. Most of the playas still hold water during the dry times and the
land around most of the lakes in the developed or developing areas is
made into parks to provide neighborhood recreational locations. The
parks may have playground equipment, parking lots and ball fields or
just landscaping and open spaces. As would be natural for the parks,
they are constantly kept maintained, on an ongoing basis, not just once
or twice a year. We still respond to complaints, but generally we take
care of thing before we are notified. The documentation would be from
the daily work records of the various maintenance foremen.
We do have a compensatory ordinance so that the water holding capacity
of any lake area is not decreased by a cut and fill, redesign of a lake
area or by the addition of water which is not natural run-off water.
Even if the developer does some earthwork to retain some lots, it will
not be detrimental to the'lake capacity. The City Codes also prohibit
dumping in any lake area.
The City does have a limited storm sewer system. However the bulk of
the stormwater is carried in the City streets. The City tries to keep
the roadside ditches cut to a reasonable length.
Because of the ongoing cleanup in our playas, our frequency would be 0.5
(6 months or maximum frequency);
cPR = 150 = 300, ESC - 0, SDR - 0.1.

610 Flood Warning Program
The flooding that occurs in Lubbock is not primarily stream -based but
playa lake -based. The watersheds are much smaller than would probably
be encountered in a stream -based situation and the lake containing
runoff is generally very broad with gently sloping sides. This allow
the lakes to spread out even larger and thus rise very slowly, even if
there is a large volume of water. This gives the City a large lead time
for notification of isolation, if it happens. This is quite different
from a large watershed and the runoff confined in a relatively narrow
channel which would be typical of most stream -based flooding. Another
thing that we don't get is great velocities that will push a building
off of its foundations. There may be some water damage, but no
demolition. The City Emergency Preparedness Director, Jim Weston, has
prepared the bulk of information in this section.
We will use an average warning time of six (6) hours.
WD=8+(2.8x6) =25
We do warn special recipients. WSR = 20.
In our Flood Response Plan are specific assignments for employees and/or
emergency volunteers and includes the name, address and telephone number

CITY OF LUBBOCK
FLOOD PROCEDURES
PURPOSE: ._ I a, I,.
The city organization and citizens have to be ready to react to flood
conditions. A well thought out plan to warn citizens and provide quick,
effective response will save lives and property.
SITUATION:
Lubbock is not subject to stream or river flooding. Because of the
topography, areas around playa lakes and major streets carrying storm
water to the lakes are prone to occasional flooding.
ASSUMPTIONS:
Lubbock will receive approximately 18 inches of rain annually. The
nature of our climatic conditions is such that most of the rain will
fall during the spring, early summer and early fall.
Spring rains tend to be high intensity and short lived. These rains are
not usually conducive to flooding unless several large storms are
encountered within a relatively short time frame. The most likely time
for flooding occurs in the late summer and fall as tropical storms
generate moisture flow from the Gulf of Mexico or the Pacific Ocean.
Rains during this time of year can be sustained and heavy. Playa lakes
fill and drainage/evaporation is slow or nonexistent. At this point,
Lubbock is subject to flooding in low lying areas.
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES:
The City Communication Center is the nerve center of all threatening
activity within the community. All fire, police and 9-1-1 calls are
received in the center and appropriate response units are dispatched.
In addition, weather information is available through the Contel
National Weather Service Satellite, Texas Law Enforcement
Telecommunications System (TLETS), direct telephone line to the NWS and
telephone and radio contact with all emergency response agencies.
A Communications supervisor is on duty around the clock every day of the
year. If the dispatchers or warning systems indicate a problem of any
nature, the supervisor calls the Emergency Preparedness Director or
designee and informs him/her of the situation. The Director or Duty
Officer takes action necessary to counter the threat. In the case of
heavy rains the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated to the
necessary level and all operational departments are notified of the
reason for activation. During heavy rains the street department sends
units to monitor conditions and to feed information to the EOC. Police
units constantly update conditions in their beat areas. Playa lakes are
monitored and if flooding conditions threaten, the public information
office informs the media of existing and potential conditions. The
media provides the information to the public. In extreme cases, the
Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) will be activated. Because the playas
are constantly monitored by the engineering, streets and emergency
preparedness departments, potential flooding conditions can be predicted
and disseminated to the public four to eight hours before rising water
isolates any commercial building or residence. The public information
office prepares and disseminates public service announcements in the
spring and late summer with information about the dangers of high water
and how to access information about weather conditions.
If flooding occurs, City vehicles, including busses are available for
evacuation purposes. The community services department will coordinate
with the Red Cross to provide shelters for displaced persons. Fire,
police and any other city department are available to effect rescue and
evacuation. Fire and police units will be sent into affected areas with
sirens and public address systems to warn occupants of potential or
actual flood conditions.
PLANNING REQUIREMENT/OVERVIEW:
The City of Lubbock Emergency Operations Plan is dictated by the Texas
Disaster Act of 1975. The Plan is all hazard and is reviewed annually
with the Basic Plan approved at least every two years by the Mayor. The
plan is exercised annually and updated if deficiencies are noted in
exercises, drills, technological changes, changes in local government
structure or real emergencies.
Severe weather procedures are reviewed each February in a meeting
involving the National Weather Service, City of Lubbock, Texas
Department of Public Safety and media representatives. If deficiencies
are noted, changes are made.
Flood warning devices are tested regularly and repaired by the City of
Lubbock Radio Shop as a high priority.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Communication Center - primary alert and warning to departments and
emergency response personnel.
Emergency Management - recognition of threatening conditions,
notification and coordination of emergency warning and response
activities.
Police and Fire - community watch, warning, rescue, evacuation
Red Cross - sheltering, feeding .. '
Street Department - monitoring of flood prone areas, barricading,
evacuation r _,
Engineering - monitoring flood prone areas, providing information to
emergency management in EOC
National Weather Service - forecasts, issuing flood watch and warning
Public Information - media coordination, warnings by electronic means
Citibus - vehicles for evacuation
Lubbock Independent School System - responsible for own facilities, for
providing busses for evacuation and if necessary and desirable,
evacuation centers
City Manager - overall responsibility to assure all resources are
available for all phases of emergency management
Texas Department of Public Safety - coordination of state resources and
communication with Texas Division of Emergency Management (relays
information directly to the governor in emergencies)
CONCLUSION:
The City of Lubbock constantly conducts a community watch through the
Communications Center. Any situation threatening the City is identified
and effective efforts are directed toward meeting the threat. Localized
flooding is a recognized hazard and receives special attention from all
emergency response agencies.
NOTE: EMERGENCY PLANS, BY NATURE, ARE GENERALLY WORDED
TO PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR CONSTANT CHANGE. EACH
DEPARTMENT MAINTAINS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
WHICH ARE USUALLY MORE HAZARD SPECIFIC THAN THE
PRINTED PLAN.

necessary.
VI. DIRECTION AND CONTROL
A. General
The warning process may be activated from any of several
points in the system. Once the network is activated,
however, the responsibility for its continued operation
belongs to the EOC Duty Officer. All warning
activities will be coordinated through the EOC staff.
B. Existing Warning Systems and Use
1. National Warning System (NAWAS)
NAWAS is a nationwide dedicated telephone warning
system. It operates on three levels; federal, state
and local. When an enemy attack is confirmed by the
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)
a warning is disseminated to all warning points
on the system. The primary warning point for NAWAS
is the DPS area warning center in Lubbock.
2. Texas Warning System (TEWAS)
TEWAS is the state -level extension of NAWAS. Each
Area Warning Center is on the TEWAS network, along
with NWS Forecast Offices.
3. Texas Law Enforcement Teletype System (TLETS)
The Texas Law Enforcement Telecommunications System
is a statewide telecommunications network connecting
the State Warning point with city, county, state,
federal and military law enforcement and criminal
justice agencies in Texas.
4. National Weather Service (NWS)
Current weather information and warnings are received
over the NWS teletype circuit. Radio broadcasts
are received over the weather radio broadcasting
out of Lubbock. In addition, NWS will issue severe
weather warnings over the NAWAS line— — .
5. Skywarn- - . . . , .. . , .
Skywarn is a national program designed to place
personnel in the field to spot and track tornadoes.
These field personnel are trained by the NWS in basic
severe weather meteorology and what to report to the
proper officials. The local SKYWARN team is made up
of volunteers whose activities are directed and
coordinated by the NWS in Lubbock. During periods
of severe weather, the spotters are dispatched into the
field and relay reports back to the NWS which
communicates with the City EOC. If, in the opinion
of the EOC Duty Officer, the City of Lubbock is
threatened, trained spotters from the Fire Marshall's
Office will be activated and provide reports directly
to the Lubbock EOC. Information on severe weather
is shared by direct telephone between NWS and EOC.
6. Flood Warning System
The National Weather Service will issue flash flood
watches and warnings for Lubbock. The City of Lubbock
Communication Center will monitor NWS teletype and
TLETS messages and provide proper response to existing
conditions.
7. Emergency Broadcasting System (EBS)
The EBS in Lubbock is the primary means for supplying
emergency information to the public. It utilizes
commercial radio and television broadcast services
which are provided on a voluntary, organized basis.
The system may be activated at the federal, state
or local level. Further details regarding this
system are in Appendix 3 along with a list of the local
broadcast stations which are part of the system.
8. Warning Sirens
The City of Lubbock does not have any air raid warning
A - 7
sirens. The electronic medium is the primary warning
system. Police and Fire units will, when instructed
by the EOC, activate mobile sirens in the "High - Low"
mode to augment media warnings.
9. Special Locations
a. Those schools, hospitals, nursing homes, major
industries and places of public assembly equipped
with warning system radio receivers will be
responsible for monitoring the channel for warnings
and taking appropriate action.
b. The Lubbock Independent School District,
Lubbock Memorial Civic Center and the Municipal
Auditorium/Colisuem will be contacted by
telephone and will then take appropriate action.
10. Print Media
When time is sufficient, warnings and emergency
information will be provided through the print media.
Camera-ready copy has been prepared for some specific
emergencies and can be put into print very quickly.
11. Neighborhood Warning Procedures
In some instances, additional warning may be necessary
to certain areas. Methods to be used include vehicle
mobile public address systems and door to door warning.
The use of mobile public address units will be
communicated to the public in advance so as to preclude
public confusion concerning the use of these vehicles.
When possible, two vehicles will be employed. The first
will attempt tp get the attention of the citizens
and the second will deliver the warning message.
VII. INCREASED READINESS ACTIONS
In most situations, there is a discernable build up of
threatening conditions. The City of Lubbock Communications
Center (warning point) constantly monitors conditions in
and around the city. In the event of a threat to the city,
the supervisor on duty will notify the EOC Duty Officer.
The EOC Duty Officer will respond to the EOC and
determine whether the situation deserves a WATCH or WARNING
A - 8
designation and take action to deal with the threat.
VIII. CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
Lines of succession to each department head are according
to the standing operating procedures established by each
department.
IX. ADMINISTRATION. AND. SUPPORT .,_ .
A. System Testing
All components of the warning system are tested on a
regular basis. Standing operating procedures will provide
details of tests and exercises of the warning system.
(See Appendix 5)
B. Maintenance of Siren Equipment
The City of Lubbock does not have an air raid siren
system so no maintenance is needed.
X. ANNEX DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
The Emergency Preparedness Director is responsible for working
with the agencies specified in Section V in the development,
maintenance and improvement of this annex.
This annex will be updated, as necessary, based on
deficiencies identified by real activations, drills and
exercises, changes in local government structure and
technological changes. Each department will develop SOPs
that address assigned tasks.
