2017 Solar Eclipse Coordination Plan

Goal & Priorities (Chapter 1)

• Goal

al

– The goal of the 2017 Solar Eclipse Coordination Plan is to support safety within Eclipse viewing areas by encouraging partners to prepare in advance for potential emergency situations, by making State emergency support resources available when possible, and by documenting actions of partner agencies for situational awareness.

• Priori

ritie ties

– Address Life Safety Needs – Support Local Governments and Resource Requests – Support Safe Movement along our Transportation System – Ensure Coordination and Communication among Local, State, & Federal Partners

Threat Identification (Chapter 2)

First step of the Emergency Planning Process is to identify the Threat(s)

– Ha Hazard

• A hazard itself is usually the threat

– Easy to identify the threat, – So we usually skip this step

– Spe Special Ev Event

• An special event itself is not usually the threat

– Sometimes harder to identify the threat, – So we need to formally address this step
