Integrated Contingency Core Plan

The core plan is intended to reflect the essential steps necessary to initiate, conduct, and terminate an emergency response action:

  • Recognition
  • Notification
  • Initial Response
    • Assessment
    • Mobilization
    • Implementation

The core section of the plan should be concise and easy to follow. A rule of thumb is that the core plan should fit in the glovebox of a response vehicle. It need not detail all procedures necessary under these phases of a response but should provide information that is time critical in the earliest stages of a response and a framework to guide responders through key steps necessary to mount an effective response. The response action section should be convenient to use and understandable at the appropriate skill level.

The U.S. National Response Team (NRT) recommends the use of checklists or flowcharts wherever possible to capture these steps in a concise easy to understand manner. The core plan should be constructed to contain references to appropriate sections of the supporting annexes for more detailed guidance on specific procedures. The NRT anticipates that for a large, complex facility with multiple hazards, the annexes will contain a significant amount of information on specific procedures to follow. For a small facility with a limited number of hazard scenarios, the core plan may contain most if not all of the information necessary to carry out the response thus obviating the need for more detailed annexes. The checklists, depending on their size and complexity, can be in either the core or the support section.

The core plan should reflect a hierarchy of emergency response levels. A system of response levels is commonly used in emergency planning for classifying emergencies according to seriousness and assigning an appropriate standard response or series of response actions to each level. Both complex and simple industrial facitlies use a system of response levels for rapidly assessing the seriousness of an emergency and developing an appropriate response. This process allows response personnel to match the emergency and its potential impacts with appropriate resources and personnel. The concept of response levels should be considered in developing checklists or flowcharts designed to serve as the basis for the core plan. Note that for those facilities subject to planning requirements under EPA, response levels in the core plan may not necessarily correspond to discharge planning amounts (e.g., average most probable dishcarge, maximum most probable discharge, and worst case discharge).

Facility owners and operators should determine appropriate response levels based on:

  1. The need to initiate time-urgent response actions to minimize or prevent unacceptable consequences to the health and safety of workers, the public, or the environment.
  2. The need to communicate critical information concerning the emergency to offsite authorities.

The consideration and development of response levels should, to the extent practicable, be consistent with similar efforts that may have been taken by the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) or mutual aid organization. Response levels which are used in communications with offsite authorities should be fully coordinated and use consistent terminology.
