  1. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Savannah Service Center This plan was developed to provide for a safe and effective response to widespread system damage and service interruption, especially from the occurrence of a hurricane in the Savannah service area.

  2. PLAN OBJECTIVES In the event of widespread system damage and service interruption due to a major hurricane, Atlanta Gas Light Company’s (AGLC) objectives are: • Preserve the safety of the general public and the safety of AGLC employees involved in damage assessment and service restoration efforts. • Minimize the disruption of essential community services. • To employ the maximum resources available in order to fully restore the gas distribution system in the shortest possible time. • Effectively inform the general public concerning the extent of system damage and service interruption, the nature and scope of restoration efforts, and the estimated duration of service interruptions.

  3. EMERGENCY WEATHER RESPONSE PLAN The purpose of this plan is to account for and utilize Critical Workforce personnel, vehicles and equipment during a hurricane related emergency situation without injury to personnel and damage to vehicles and equipment. The plan is divided into three distinct phases: Phase I-Preparation Phase II-Damage Assessment Phase III-System Restoration

  4. PHASE I-PREPARATION During Phase I-Preparation, the main focus is on preparing the Distribution System, Savannah Service Center, and Critical Work Force team for an approaching hurricane.

  5. PHASE II-DAMAGE ASSESSMENT Following the passage of the storm through the Savannah Service Center territory, Phase II-Damage Assessment will be initiated as soon as possible. During Phase II, the primary focus is to conduct an initial assessment of the distribution system by Damage Assessment teams in order to begin planning for Phase III-System Restoration.

  6. PHASE III-SYSTEM RESTORATION During Phase III-System Restoration, the restoration effort will be done initially with local AGLC and Contractor assets. As re-entry operations allow, additional AGLC personnel from other service centers will be integrated into the Restoration plan. The transition from Damage Assessment to System Restoration is fluid in nature and may not be discernible.

  8. PHASE II - DAMAGE ASSESSMENT The Savannah Service Area is divided into nine damage assessment areas. Eight areas fall within Bryan, Chatham, and Effingham Counties. Damage assessment for these three counties will be resourced from Savannah Service Center personnel. The ninth damage assessment area is Liberty County. AGLC personnel from the Jesup Service Center will complete the Liberty County damage assessment. Each damage assessment team (DAT) consists of six individuals. Each DAT has a team leader, assistant team leader and four members. These teams are comprised of Supervisors, Distribution Crew Foreman, Field Service Representatives (FSRs), and Meter Readers.

  9. PHASE II - DAMAGE ASSESSMENT Each DAT is assigned a primary and secondary assessment area. Damage assessment of the primary area should be completed prior to beginning damage assessment of the secondary areas. Team #1 Primary Area: Downtown Secondary Area: Wilmington Island Team #2 Primary Area: Pooler Secondary Area: Garden City Team #3 Primary Area: Effingham Secondary Area: Hwy 17/Hwy 204/Richmond Hill Team #4 Primary Area: Southside Secondary Area: LaRoche
