13. Shelter In Place • Purpose • Planners, Players, Partners • Concept of Operations • SSMC Implementation • SIP Drill Overview No ducts sustained injury during production of this briefing.

14. Shelter In Place SIP Purpose • To prepare for incidents of unusually high risks in the outside environment • Minimize impact • Maintain operations • Conditions for SIP: • Severe weather (e.g., tornados, hurricanes) • Public Unrest (e.g., demonstrations) • Identified threat (e.g., sniper) • Use or threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)

15. Focus of Shelter In Place Effort Greater Impact Nuclear Weapon Biological Agent Chemical Agent or TIC* Improvised Nuclear Device Explosives Radioactive Material Lesser Impact Lower Probability Higher Probability Likelihood Shelter WMD Potential In Place Probability vs. Impact *TIC = Toxic Industrial Chemical Based on: WMD Preparedness Overview (May 2003) – USASBCOM and FEMA Energy Management Institute

16. Shelter In Place Worst Case Scenario • Mass casualties & fatalities • Potentially contaminated facilities and materials • Psychological impacts • Logistical burdens & legal implications NOAA Mission Degradation Based on: WMD Preparedness Overview (May 2003) – USASBCOM and FEMA Energy Management Institute
