Describe the key points of Phase 3 in a hurricane plan.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

During this phase the unit shutdown sequence continues and food, water and emergency supplies will continue to be distributed to the appropriate sites for hurricane crew members. The goal is to protect as much equipment as possible. There should be sufficient time allowed to prepare all necessary items prior to evacuation. All personnel not members of the hurricane crew will be released no later than 12 hrs prior to landfall. All preparations should be completed as quickly as possible prior to release of non-essential personnel. Another inspection is made of process unit grounds for anything to be tied down or removed that might have been missed. Remaining personnel will ensure the emergency generator is fully fueled and unit vehicles are fully fueled and sheltered as much as possible.
