This provided not only fire management, but communication <br />with all fire departments in our jurisdiction. <br />Hennepin County Emergency Preparedness Director Don Anderson was <br />called to the Orono EOC which provided an avenue for assistance and resources <br />such as emergency lights and barricades. <br />Telephone contact and radio communications were established with <br />Hennepin County Water Patrol for additional personnel and assistance with lake <br />area concerns. <br />As a picture of the affected areas became more clear, we were able to see <br />where additional resources were needed. The following are recommendations for <br />addressing most of these concerns: <br />► The additional need for two emergency sirens <br />- Watertown Road and McCulley Road <br />- area of Crystal Bay <br />A representative from Public Works is needed in the EOC <br />A contact person from City Administrative staff or Finance Department who <br />can release funds when needed for emergency purchase of equipment, <br />personnel needs (food, clothing, etc.) <br />Additional radio equipment for communications (cell phones would not <br />work) <br />Determine "chain of command" within Public Works if director or assistant <br />director not available (On-call supervisor?) <br />Have predetermined brush sites ready in advance, to be reviewed on a yearly <br />basis. <br />Determine evacuation plan from the Council chambers in case of severe <br />storm during a meeting. <br />Install additional telephone lines and telephones in the EOC. <br />Establish a "Hot Line" on a separate phone number for citizens to call in for <br />information and/or complaints. (Recorded Message) <br />Establish a Public Works equipment list to be maintained within Police <br />Department for use within EOC (vehicles, barricades, warning lights, «tc.) <br />Maintain a supply of warning lights, barricades, and portable stop signs <br />A listing of all city employees to include address, telephone number, pager <br />number (if available) and job position.
