b. Establish contact with other town officials as appropriate.

c. Establish a location (emergency operations center) where local government administration will be represented and accessible for information and decisions that relate to the overall response.

d. Assure that the Incident Command System (ICS) is in use in order to provide a flexible but consistent structure to organize response.

e. Develop documentation and expense records tracking for quick damage assessment if a federal disaster assessment is requested and/or state disaster assistance is requested.

f. Establish communications by telephone in order to respond to requests for information from county or state officials as well as the media.

g. Compile information on the size and impact of the event.

h. Chairperson, or designee, declare a state of emergency as necessary, and notify county emergency management of this action, forwarding a copy as requested.

i. Notify the public of the situation and appropriate actions to be taken.

j. Keep county officials informed of the situation and actions taken.

  1. Emergency service agencies respond and establish incident command according to the standard procedures.
  2. Municipal officials provide support to the response coordinating resources as needed.
  3. If municipal resources become exhausted or if special resources are required, request county assistance through the County emergency Management Coordinator.
  4. A command post or emergency operations center will be established.

2. If municipal and county resources are exhausted, county emergency management may request state assistance through Wisconsin Emergency Management.

 

Wisconsin Emergency Management

  1. If state assistance is requested, the WEM Administrator in conjunction with the Regional Director and County Emergency Management Coordinator, assess the disaster or emergency situation and recommend that personnel, services and equipment be made available for response, mitigation or recovery.
  2. After completing the assessment, the WEM Regional Director immediately notifies the WEM Administrator.
  3. The WEM Administrator notifies the Governor and makes recommendations.
  4. If state assistance is granted, procedures will be followed as stated in the Wisconsin EOP and the County EOP.
