8. Data media must be protected in specially insulated records containers which protect the contents against temperatures up to 150 Fand80% humidity

9. The automatic sprinkler system is ordinarily activated by the melting of a metal seal and water then flows through the system when the head valves are released

10. Governmentandindustryshare the responsibility for emergency and disaster planning

11. The emergency planmust be distributed to all personnel with responsibility for action

12. A “bomb blanket” is used only by specifically trained personnel

13. “Vital Records” are those necessary to insure the survival of the business. Vital records usually constitute no more than 2 percent of a corporation’s records

14. Responsibility for a shutdown should be assigned to persons familiar with the process

15. The emergency plan is activated by the facility manager, the President, or the CEO

16. The emergency plan should be directive in nature

17. In a fire, the facility must have “the capability to respond quickly with well trained personnel to contain and extinguish the fire”.

18. In a high rise building, partial evacuationincludes the floor above and the floor below

19. The most commonof all terrorist tactics isbombing

20. The purposes of emergency planning are to:a. Anticipate the emergencyb. Provide actionduring the emergency; andc. Return to normal operations

21. In dealing with plant fires, mutual assistanceandprior coordination with the fire department is essential. The critical element is the ability to respond quickly with well trained personnel to contain and extinguish the fire

22. A tidal wave (TSUNAMI) is caused by underwater disturbances

23. A “hurricane warning” is issued when it is determined that winds of 74 mphorhigherwill be encountered

24. “Tornadoes” are violent local storms with whirling winds that can reach 200 - 400 m.p.h. The width of a tornado ranges from 200 yards to one mile and travels 5-30 miles along the ground at speeds of 30-70 m.p.h.

25. Tornado watch - tornadoes are expected to developTornado warning - tornado has actually been sighted in the area

26. Severe thunderstorm - possibility of frequent lightning and/or damaging winds of greater than 50 m.p.h., hail and heavy rain.Severe thunderstorm watch - possibility of tornadoes, thunderstorms, frequent lightning, hail and winds greater than 75 m.p.h.

27. Heavy snow warning - an expected snowfall of 4 inches or more in a 12-hour period or 6 inches or more in a 24-hour period

28. Blizzard - the most dangerous of all winter storms.

29. Blizzard warning - considerable snow and winds of 35 m.p.h.ormore are expected.A severe blizzard warning - very heavy snowfall is expected with winds of at least 45 m.p.h. and temperatures of 10 degreesorlower.

30. A large proportion of energy in a nuclear explosion is emitted in the form of light and heat and is generally referred to as Thermal radiation

31. In assessing the vulnerability of individual facilities, major factors considered are: • a. Environment • b. Indigenous • c. Economic

32. The one thing that distinguishes disastersormajor emergencies from the emergencies plant personnel deal with each day is the need for coordinated emergency operations

33. The basic emergencyplan should be made up of three elements:1. Authority 2. Types of emergencies 3. Plan execution

34. A community basedemergency control centermust be established to coordinate all efforts in a major emergency

35. The value of an emergency plan is that it:a. Provides a written record and means of communicating information throughout the organizationb. Assures that all procedures fit into an integrated planc. Promotes uniformityd. Assures a permanent record of decisions and acquired knowledgee. Provides a means of orientation of new employees into emergency responsibilitiesf. Permits management to delegate specific authoritiesg. Presents a public relations medium for communicate to employees, customers and stockholders

36. “Emergency readiness” means preparation has reached the point where you are prepared to react promptly to save life and protect property if the plant is threatened or hit by a major emergency

37. Every industrial firm, regardless of size, should establish an internal organization that will be able to protect life and property in time of any emergency

38. The Vital Records Protection Plan should be tested at least once a year. The tests of Vital Records Program should verify that vital records needed after a disaster are:a. Current b. Protected sufficiently against natural disasters, nuclear detonation and other perils c. Retrievable as needed in usable form

39. The decision to evacuate a building upon the receipt of a bomb threat should be made by a senior member of management

40. Bomb Threat - a search is made after every bomb threat call.The facility manager should make the decision as to whoshould search

41. When a bomb threat is received, the following are notified, in order :a. Persons responsible for search and evacuationb. Local authoritiesc. Explosive demolition teams; andd. Medical facilities

42. A clear zone with a radius of at least 300 feet should be established around a suspicious object including the floors above and below

43. StrikeThe most frequent strike is the “economic strike”, which must be preceded by at least60 days notice

44. StrikeThe “unfair labor practice strike” can occur suddenly with little or no effective planning

45. StrikeThe mostimportant outside contact will be with local police

46. StrikeA sound policy with respect to police arrests would be to not attempt to influence the police against initiating prosecutions where police are complaining witnesses

47. StrikeDocumentary surveillance of workers engaged in legal and legitimate labor practices such as legal picketing during a strike couldamount to an unfair labor practice

48. TerrorismKidnapping is a classic act of terrorism
