C. •PECK' WMlNN MAYOR December 9, 1991 Mr. Don Ellison Representative -District 1 Federal Emergency Management Agency NTH Division Region VI Federal Center 800 North Loop 288 Denton, TX 76201 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. This application is being submitted to: Mr. Don Ellison Representative - District 1 Federal Emergency Management Agency NTH Division Region -VI Federal"Center 800 North Loop 288 Denton, TX 76201 (817) 898-5161 This is your notice that comments on this application can be submitted to the FEMA Regional Office. If no comments are received, it is assumed that your agency does not object to this application. For additional information, contact the CRS Coordinator, Mr. Jim Bertram, at (806) 767- 2013.

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. bECPO = 31 and bECCF = 0. rECPO - 31/0 = 0. -- - .The number of pre -FIRM buildings has not been determined and there are �= no pre -FIRM elevation certificates: bPR = 0 and bECPR = 0.

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.

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.

CITY OF LUBBOCK ___...._ MEMO TO: Skipper Wood l 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. 350 FLOOD PROTECTION LIBRARY: 351 Credit Documentation: C The community must have the following documentation available to verify implementation of this activity: a.

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 4960 The playa (wet weather) lakes are closed basin lakes.

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.

Supp. No. 12 F i479 § 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.

(g) Energy considerations. (Reserved). Energy considerations, particularly those related to solar, are relatively new to the American public. Since virtually every aspect of land development has an effect on energy use, it is the intent of this reserved subsection to simply remind and encourage the subdivider to do his or her part for energy -efficient development 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. (Ord.

All lots, plots, or building sites in any resubdivision shall be lettered A, B, C, P%C_ 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. 0.5 The maintenance'is done throughout the City; rCDR = 1. cCDR = 300 x a.0 x 1.0 - 300. cSDR = 1.0 + (0.1 x 1) = 1.1 cESC=0x0x1.0-0 c540 = (300 x 1.1) + 0 - 330. 540 DRAINAGE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE: 541 Credit Documentation: The community'%ust submit the following documentation with its application: #A&477VG za.

No. 2797, §§ 1, 3, 5-28-59; Code 1959, § 16-13) [The next page is 1545] 1495 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 (s) of key facilities' contact people, alternates and others designated to help implement the plan. FRP = 10 + 10 = 20. LSDS = 0. The warning plan is implemented throughout the.community. rWD = rFRP = 1. cWD = (25 + 20) x 1 x 1.00 = 45 cFRP = 20 x 1 x 1.00 = 20 cLSDS = 0 x 0 x 1.00 = 0 c610=45+20+0 =65 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. TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE I.

Assist in an on -going public awareness program of life saving measures to be taken concerning all catastrophic events. 5. 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/Coliseum will be contacted by telephone and will then take appropriate action. c. The City of Lubbock strongly encourages the use of warning system radios for personal and family A - 5 safety. 6. Military Support The Emergency Management Director, Coordinator and EOC Duty Officers will coordinate the use of Reese Air Force Base warning systems as possible and 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. XI. REFERENCES A. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 1981. Civil Preparedness Principles of Warning, CPG 1-14. B. FEMA, 1980.
