Notice to all EPA employees:

       The Office of Administration and Resources Management (OARM) developed this Employee Emergency
Preparedness Guide to promote the safety and security of all EPA employees. This Guide serves as an
educational tool by illustrating what steps are needed for employees to protect themselves and why it is
important to follow building-specific plans and procedures during emergencies. The Guide also presents the
repercussions of various incident scenarios and identifies steps to mitigate them.
       In addition to general information, this Guide also includes resources (i.e., websites) and reference
materials (i.e., Bomb Threat Checklist) so employees can familiarize themselves with supplementary information
on preparing for emergency events. Remember, you, as an employee, have a responsibility to be prepared to
respond in an emergency and should follow the instructions of emergency personnel during evacuations and
shelter-in-place situations.
       The information in this Guide outlines various components that everyone should be aware of during
emergencies, including medical situations, fires/explosions, bomb threats, suspicious mail, natural disasters.
terrorism and related situations that may require evacuation, relocation (shelter-in-place) or dismissal of on-
site personnel for health and safety reasons.
       OARM will continue to work with the programs and regions nationwide to heighten EPA's employees'
awareness of emergency preparedness and readiness activities. In the interim, we hope that you find the guide
informative and useful as you proceed with your critical mission responsibilities within EPA.

I.    Introduction

       The purpose of this Emergency Preparedness
       Guide is to provide EPA employees with
       important emergency information to help prevent
injury, loss of life, loss of property, and damage to EPA
facilities in times of crisis or emergency. This publication
addresses the most common emergencies that may occur.
If you notice an emergency, contact your managers.
supervisors, and security.

Remember, every employee has a responsibility to be
prepared to respond in an emergency, to attend training.
and to follow the instructions of managers, supervisors, or
the Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) Team and
emergency personnel in an emergency.

II.  What Do I Do If Someone Becomes
     Seriously 111?
I
n a MEDICAL EMERGENCY:
1.    Dial 911. Give the following information to the 911
     Operator:

     *  Your name and phone number

     »  Briefly describe the illness or injury

     *  Give the name of the employee needing
         assistance

     »  Street address

     *  Nearest cross street

     *  Name of building

     »  Floor

     »  Room

2.    Have a co-worker contact security. Give the floor,
     room #, and any special directions to the location.
3.    Have a co-worker contact the Health Unit, if
     applicable. Give the floor, room #, and an) special
     directions to the location.

4.    Without endangering yourself, stabilize the ill/injured
     person as much as possible until help arrives.

5.    If necessary, certified and/or trained employees can
     use an Automated External Defibrillatori AEDi.

     * As part of implementing the President's Federal
        Employee Initiative for the 21M Century and to
        ensure that injured employees receive the best
        possible care. EPA is taking steps to reduce the
        damaging effects of sudden cardiac arrest
        through the installation of AEDs.

     » An AED is a small portable device capable of
        administering an appropriate electric shock
        through the chest wall to the heart.

     » Microprocessors inside the device first assess
        the patient's heart rhythm, determine if
        defibrillation is needed, and. only if needed, will
        advise the user to administer the shock.

     * Audible and/or visual prompts guide the user
        through the process.

     » Contact your safety and health office for further
        information on AEDs.

-------
111.  What Do I Do If I Notice A Fire?

  If you notice a FIRE:


1.    Activate the closest pull station.

2.    Upon exiting the building, call 911 and give the
     following information:

      »   Street address

      *   Nearest cross street

      »   Closest entrance to the location of the tire

      *   Name of the building

      »   Location, if tire in the building

      *   Description of the tire

3.    Notify security.

4.    Follow the evacuation procedures for your facility.

If you  become trapped in a building during
a fire:

      *   If you are on the ground floor and have access
         to a window that opens, carefully climb out if
         you can do so safely.

      »   If there is no window, stay near the floor where
         the air will have less smoke. Shout at regular
         intervals to alert emergency crews of your
         location.  DO NOT PANIC.

      *   If you are in a room with the door closed, feel
         the door with the back of your hand. If the door
         is warm, do not open it. If smoke is entering the
         room through cracks around the door, stuff
         something in the cracks to stop the flow.

      *   If you are on an upper floor and cannot reach
         one of stairwells, go to an office with a window,
         close the office door, 20 to the window and
        wave something so emergency crews can see
        you. Do NOT break the window, unless you
        are advised to do so by emergency personnel,
        as this ma\ cause smoke and fire to spread
        faster into the room.

     *  If the phones are working, call 91 1  and security
        to report the following:

            Floor location

            Room location

            How many people are in the room?

            Is anyone injured?

Fire Safety

     *  Know the location of and how to use: fire
        extinguishers, tire exits and exit stairwells.

     *  Smoke in designated areas only and extinguish
        all smoking materials in the proper receptacle.

     *  Do not prop open fire doors or stairwell doors.

     *  Report tire and stairwell doors that do not close
        properly to the facility and security managers.

-------
IV.  What  Do I  Do When Evacuating The
     Building?
     If an alarm sounds in the
     building, begin to evacuate
     and remain calm. The Public
     Address (PA) system will be
     used to provide you with
     instructions. If a PA system
     is not available or operational
     in your location, your
     supervisor or manager will
     provide guidance and
     direction on the evacuation.
     Follow all instructions given by your designated
     official, managers, supervisors. OEPTeam. facility
     management, and emergency personnel.

     If you are an "Assistance Monitor" and are unable
     to reach the person you normally assist, contact one
     of the OEPTeam members or call security.

     If an alarm sounds or you are instructed to evacuate.
     BEGIN TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. II you
     are on a lower floor, it is critical that you evacuate
     immediately so that those on the upper floors are not
     caught in a backup in the stairwells as they descend
     to the lower floors. Always leave the building.
     NEVER re-enter and NEVER assume it is a drill.

     Document control officials and security personnel
     should quickly secure all classified and confidential
     material in an appropriate manner before leaving the
     work area, unless in harms way.

     If it won't delay your exiting, take your coat, if the
     weather is inclement.  If you are at  your work area,
     take your wallet/purse, and  identification, but leave
     briefcases, suitcases, etc. behind. Do NOT take
     any food or drinks.  If you are on a  lower floor than
     your work area when the alarm to evacuate is given.
     do  NOT go back to  your office to get your personal
     things.
     Close all oft ice doors (hut do NOT lock them us

                     X.    Do NOT use elevators
                           unless instructed to do so
                           h> emergency personnel.

                           to the nearest marked e\it
                           and ask others to do the
                           same. Know at least two
                           egress exits because some
                           emergencies may prevent
     use of the stairwells you normally use (If your health
     permits, practice walking the exit routes so you are
     familiai- with it in an emergency).

10.   Holding the handrail, proceed down the stairs to the
     ground floor lobby.

     4  Stay to the right if emergency workers come up
        the stairs while you are evacuating.

     »  Assist others who may need help.

     *  If necessary, remove high-heeled shoes for a
        safe and rapid evacuation.

     *  If you need to rest, move to a landing: don't
        stop on the stairs.

     *  If individuals fall and they can be moved.
        relocate them to a safe location away from
        egress paths until help arrives. Contact security
        for help. If you cannot reach security, continue
        to the exit and give emergency personnel the
        location of the fallen individual(s).

     *  1 f electrical power fails while you are in the
        stairwells, follow the "glow-in-the-dark"
        marking to the nearest exit.

-------
14.
V.
It'you are in the garage when instructions to
evacuate are given, proceed to the nearest
automobile ramp and walk out if possible. It" you
are closer to a stairwell EXIT, use it.

Exit the building and move directly to your assigned
outside assembly area.

Once at the outside assembly
area, report to your manager,
remain quiet, and stay with your
group.

Don't re-enter the building until
told by the appropriate
authorities that it is safe to do
so.

What Do  I Do If
Advised To "Shelter-in-
Place"?
(i.e., remain in the
building)
w
      hen  to shelter-in-place?
      »  Shelter-in-place is a protective action that
         lessens/minimizes a person's chance of injury
         when an emergency occurs outside the building
         such as severe weather (e.g., tornado, hail),
         rioting, or the release of a chemical or biological
         substance, gas. or radioactive material.

What does it mean to shelter-in-place?

      *  Shelter-in-place means that you remain indoors
         at your present location with doors and
         windows closed. This could mean remaining at
         your desk or proceeding to another location in
         the building.

      *  If you are outside, seek shelter inside a building
         immediately.
     *   The Administrator or designated official, using all
         available information, will make the decision to
         shelter-in-place.

How long would we shelter-in-place?

                  *  Shelter-in-place is designed to be
                     short term (i.e., less than four
                     hours).

                  *  The concept of sheltering-in-place
                     is to provide some measure of
                     safety from the time an emergency
                     occurs until there is sufficient
                     reliable information about the
                     emergency to suggest alternative
                     courses of action. Such
                     information may include but
                     is not limited to: Is it a chemical
                     spill, biological release, dirty
                     bomb, etc.? Where did this
                     occur? What is the wind
                     direction? What is the weather
         pattern? Once sufficient information is received,
         a decision will be made on what actions to take.
         The type of emergency will determine the length
         of time we shelter-in-place.

What  actions should I take when I am
advised to shelter-in-place?

      *  Listen for instructions over the PA system or
         from your supervisor.

      *  Follow instructions to:

             Remain at your workstation, or

             Proceed to another location such as an
             interior hallway being sure to shut all
             windows and doors leading to the hallway,
             or

             If you are in the garage during normal
             working hours, return immediately to the
             interior of the building.

-------
     *  Turn off all individual fans or heaters (especially
        the ones under the windows) to reduce the
        spread of contamination. In a biological or
        chemical incident, cover the heater/air
        conditioner under the window with a coat or
        blanket.

     »  Stay away from windows.

     »  If you must use the phone, keep conservations
        short to keep the lines open.

What if I am not at or near my building or
my office, and I am advised to  Shelter-in-
Place?

     *  If you are advised to shelter-in-place, no matter
        where you are, you should follow instructions
        and shelter in the building where you are or if
        you are outside, go to the nearest building.

     *  Without endangering yourself, it is also important
        that during the workday, you follow your office
        procedures and contact your supervisor or
        office to inform them of your location.

Am I required to remain in the building if
we are advised to  Shelter-in-Place?

     *  Shelter-in-place is generally a voluntary action,
        unless mandated by law enforcement or public
        health officials.

     *  However, employees are advised that the
        decision to order/advise shelter-in-place will be
        made by trained personnel with access to better,
        more timely information than that available to
        most building occupants. The advice to shelter-
        in-place should be taken seriously and followed
        to the maximum extent possible.

     *  If you decide to evacuate instead of sheltering-
        in-place, follow your office procedures to advise
        your supervisor or a co-worker before you
        leave.
  Pre-planning with your family before an
 emergency (Actions you may want to take
         with your children and adult
               family members)
You and your family should develop your own personal
emergency plan ahead of time so that you can be confident
they will be safe in the event of an emergency. If you are
confident they are safe, then you will be able to shelter-in-
place during an emergency until it is safe for you to return
home.

It is always better to plan w hat you and your family will do
in an emergency BEFORE an emergency happens. As
   I
such, you may want to do the follow ing pre-planning
activities, particularly for emergencies where you may be
advised to shelter-in-place while at work:

      *  Determine what procedures schools or day care
         providers have for sheltering-in-place in an
         emergency so that if you are notified in your
         work location to shelter-in-place. you are
         confident that your children are also safe.

      *  Determine w hat procedures your adult family
         members will take if any of you are advised to
         shelter-in-place. If they work, determine what
         procedures there are for sheltering-in-place in an
         emergency.  Share your plans with them.

      »  If there are no sheltering-in-place procedures at
         your children's school or family members'
         workplaces, get involved to ensure that
         procedures are developed.

The following websites provide information and actions
you and your family may want to take to be prepared
before, during, and after an emergency:

VI.  What Do  I Do If I Receive A Bomb
     Threat?
B
omb threats are normally received by
telephone, although they might be received via
mail or by a hand delivered message.
If you receive a bomb threat by telephone:

1.    Without alerting the caller.
     the person receiving the call
     should listen closely and
     complete the Bomb Threat
     Checklist (see page 11)
     during the call, write down
     exactly what is said, ask
     questions of the caller, and
     note the caller ID number
     that appears.

2.    The person receiving the bomb threat call should
     complete the bomb threat checklist and notify
     security as soon as possible after the call. Report
     the threat to your designated official, facility and
     security managers, and supervisor. They will contact
     the proper authorities.

3.    Anyone who finds an actual or suspected bomb
     or a suspicious package/container must contact
     security immediately and report its location and
     description.

4.    Do NOT in any way disturb, touch, or move the
     item.

5.    Turn off two-way radios and cell phones. These
     devices may be hazardous. Radio/cell phones in
     the vicinity should remain "off" until the matter
     is resolved.

6.    When evacuation is necessary, use the established
     evacuation procedures for EPA's buildings.

7.    If you have any questions regarding bomb threat
     procedures, contact security.
VII. What Do I Do If I Have Suspicions
     About Office Mail?

   I   lie following informational material was taken from
       the November 2002 United States Coast Guard

                                                                suspicious markings, or has
                                                                been opened and contains
                                            suspicious objects, take the following actions:

                                                  » Remain calm.

                                                  *  Leave the item exactly where it is. Do not
                                                     move, shake, stir, taste, or smell the item.

                                                  *  Call security and follow their instructions.

                                                        Provide the name, room number, floor
                                                        location, and any information the guard

                                                  *  If the letter or package is opened and contains
                                                     suspicious material:

                                                        Leave the office and close the door, if the
                                                        item is in a private office.

                                                     -  If in a large office area, have people move to
                                                        a secure area outside the office and close off
                                                        the potentially contaminated area.

                                                        Stop others from entering the space.

                                                     -  Wash hands and face with soap and water.

What do I do if I handle irradiated mail?

      *   Following the anthrax attacks of October 2001.
         the USPS began irradiating mail destined for
         government offices whose ZIP Codes start with
         202. 203. 204 and 203 in the Washington. DC
         area. Irradiation destroys
         bacteria and viruses that
         could be present in the
         mail.

      *   Responding to federal
         worker health complaints.
         the National Institute  for
         Occupational Safety and
         Health (NIOSH)
         conducted three health
         hazard evaluations on the
         handling of irradiated mail by postal employees.
         federal workers, and Congressional employees
         (The reports can be found at hup://
         www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/iiT-inail/default.html).
         NIOSH did not detect airborne contaminants
         above occupational exposure limits.

The following information was taken from GSA's
Guidelines for Handling Irradiated Mail, which can
be found at http;//www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/irr-mail/
detault.html >:

      *   Open mail gently with a letter opener: do not
         tear envelopes.

      *   Ensure that the place used to open mail has
         adequate ventilation.

      »   Do not enclose unopened mail in a box. drawer
         or bag. Spread out the mail so it can "air out."

      »   Individuals who have had prior skin reaction
         related to opening the mail should consider
         wearing gloves when opening mail. If using
         gloves, they should be non-latex, non-powdered
         and the appropriate size. Gloves should be
         changed when they are noted to be grossly dirty
         or have perforations,  (ilmcs should he
         removed when eating, drinking. < >r smoking.

     *   Avoid touching \ourmouth. e\es or oilier
         mucous membranes when handling mail. e\ en
         when wearing glo\es.

                   *   Wash hands \\ ith si up and

                       after washing hands.

                   *   Report all symptoms to \ our
                       super, isor.

VIII.  What Do I Do  If  Biological Or
       Chemical  Substances  Are  Released?
H
owcan biological or chemical substances get
into our building?
     *   Biological and chemical substances include a
         variety of products we use every day. However.
         the potential exists for the release of hazardous
         concentrations or quantities of these substances
         into the workplace either intentionally or by
         accident. For example, a small device could be
         activated that sprays a chemical or biological
         substance into the air. The use or threatened use
         of biological or chemical toxins, with the
         objective of causing illness, death, or fear, has
         become a reality.

     *   The release of a biological agent may be difficult
         to identify until several days or even weeks after
         its release, when the illness begins to appeal".

     *   A chemical emergency may occur anywhere
         hazardous materials are manufactured, stored or
         transported. Chemical plants are obvious

-------
        sources of potential accidents. Less obvious
        sources are highways, railways and storage
        containers at places such as swimming pools
        (chlorine). Chemical substances could
        intentionally be released.

What do I do if biological or chemical
substances are released inside a building?

If there is a release in your office area, you should:

     *  Without endangering yourself, turn off local fans
        or ventilation units in the area.

     *  Leave the area immediately.

     *  Close the door, or section off the area to
        prevent others from entering (i.e., keep others
        away).

     *  Do NOT lock the door.
        Notify security.

        REMOVE heavily
        contaminated clothing as
        soon as possible and place
        in a plastic bag, or some
        other container that can be
        sealed. This clothing bag
        should be given to the
        emergency responders for
        proper handling.
         SHOWER with soap and cool water as soon
         possible for at least 3 minutes.  Do Not Use
         Bleach or Other Disinfectants On Your Skin.

         If possible, list all people who were in the room
         or area. Give this list to security so that proper
         instructions can be given for medical follow-up.
What do I do if biological or chemical
substances are released outside?

     *  Notify security.

     *  Without endangering yourself, turn off local fans
        or ventilation units in the area.

     *  Get away from the windows and exterior doors.

     *  You may be instructed to shelter-in-place or to
        evacuate, depending on the situation and the
        conditions in the surrounding area.

EX.  What Do I Do If There Is An
     Emergency Involving Radiation?
W
hat are some ways in which an
 emergency involving radiation
 could occur?

   Dirty bomb

 Made by wrapping radioactive material
 around a core of ordinary high explosives,
 and detonating it so that radioactive
 contamination spreads over the widest
 possible area.

 There are two hazards in a dirty bomb: the
 bomb blast and the radioactive paniculate
 matter or debris that will be scattered by the
 bomb blast. Radioactive particulates from a
 dirty bomb may travel several blocks or
 even several miles. They may remain
 airborne for hours or days. The extent and
 duration will be determined by the wind
 speed and direction.

 Immediate exposure risks  are generally of
 short duration.

-------
        -  There is a difference between a dirty bomb
            and a nuclear device:

            •   The nuclear device is "a weapon of
               mass destruction," said nuclear scientist
               Siegfried Hecker, former director of the
               Los Alamos National Laboratory.

            •   "Dirty Bombs" are weapons of mass
               disruption, in terms of frightening
               people, the cleanup, and the potential
               economic consequences.

     *  Nuclear power plant accident or release.

     *  Release of radioactive material.

What would happen if a dirty  bomb were
detonated near  our offices?

     *  People in the blast area may be injured by the
        debris and possibly be exposed to radiation
        through contact with or inhalation of the dust and
        debris. We may have the option to shelter-in-
        place for a limited amount of time or to
        evacuate.

     *  The concept of sheltering-in-place is to provide
        some measure of safety from the time an
        emergency occurs until there is sufficient reliable
        information about the emergency such as: Is it a
        bomb, dirty bomb, etc.? Where did it occur?
        What is the wind direction? Once sufficient
        information is received, a decision will be made
        on the actions to take. The type of emergency
        will determine the length of time we shelter-in-
        place.

How will I be  notified of a radiological
emergency?

     *  Notification can occur in a number of way s such
        as the building's public address system, the
        Email broadcast system, two-way radios,
        National Incident Coordination Team, Regional
        Incidence Coordination Team, local emergency
        management personnel, local radio and/or
        television Emergency Alert System station.
        National Oceanic and Atmospheric
        Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio, and
        on-the-scene police officers, to name a few.

     *  The notification will be accompanied by
        instructions on what steps you should take, for
        example, where to shelter-in-place or to
        evacuate.

     *  It is likely that there will be a period of
        uncertainty immediately after the event occurs.
        There may be a delay of several hours before
        officials can determine the exact nature of the
        emergency and whether radiological materials
        were involved. We may shelter-in-place until
        we have sufficient information.

Am I required to remain in the building if
we are advised to shelter-in-place?

Sheltering-in-place is a voluntary action, unless mandated
by law enforcement or public health officials; however,
employees are strongly encouraged to follow EPA's
shelter-in-place procedures.

What do I need to do if I am ordered to
evacuate?

      *  Proceed calmly out of the building following the
        evacuation procedures.

      *  In general, keep yourself upwind from the
        incident (e.g., watch for wind indicators such as
        outdoor flags) to avoid contaminating yourself.
        tracking ground contamination to other areas,
        and inhaling airborne contaminants.

      *  After any disaster or emergency, local officials
        and relief workers will be on the scene but
        cannot get to everyone immediately.

-------
What can I do to be prepared in the event
of a radiological incident?

     4  Your family is best served by preparing for an
        emergency before it happens. Go to the Red
        Cross website at www.redcross.org/services/
        disaster/ and click on "Be Prepared."

How can I reduce the consequences of
exposure to radiation?

The consequences can be lessened by (1) ensuring that, as
much as possible, there are dense materials shielding you
from the source of radiation (such as sheltering-in-place in
a concrete structure); (2) putting more distance between
you and the source of radiation; and (3) limiting the
amount of time you are exposed to the source of
radiation.

If I become contaminated, what is the
process for decontamination?

The decontamination process includes removing all your
clothes (and placing them in a plastic bag to avoid the
spread of contamination) and washing in warm (not hot)
water with mild soap.

What is radiation, what are some sources
of radiation,  and where can I go if I want
more  information?

     4 Radioactive materials give off excess energy.
        The energy emitted is radiation.

     * People receive some exposure to background
        radiation each day from the sun, radioactive
        elements in the soil and rocks, and medical and
        dental x-rays.

     * Radiation can be dangerous because of the
        harmful effect of certain types of radiation on
        your skin and internal organs.
     *  Radiation cannot be detected by sight, smell or
        any of your other senses. Specialized
        instruments are used by trained personnel to
        locate it.
