area. Background • Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Port Aransas as a Category 4 storm, then meandered exceptionally slowly up the Texas coast. It was not really a hurricane when it reached the Houston area and dumped ~40-50 inches of rain over 5+ days. In Harris County, it was a tropical storm whose rainfall intensity and duration caused flooding rather than the high wind and surge damage of major hurricanes. Whereas most bad floods have affected part of Harris County, Harvey affected all of this county and many more. Most plant hurricane plans are phased plans based on wind speeds and days from landfall, not flooding. • Before the storm hit, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett pre-applied for Harris County to be designated a federal disaster area. (The County Judge requests the Governor to do so, the Governor requests the President to do so.) This allowed the state to move its resources, including equipment and state military personnel, closer to the county before the storm for quicker response when needed. • David Wade, the Harris County Industrial Liaison, operates the East Harris County Manufacturers Association (EHCMA) Hurricane Status Reporting System for EHCMA’s Emergency Management and Communications Committee. Plants provide information that is solely for emergency response coordinators (ERCs) in Harris County and east Harris County cities so the ERC has contact information for the site and knows whether plants in its jurisdiction have a ride-out crew on site. Not all plants took part in the system. • During the storm, the area south of I-10 and east of I-45 was without a functioning hospital for 72 hours. Most EHCMA member plants are located in this area.

This plan is designed to support and protect personnel, minimize environmental impact and maximize unit availability in all phases of a storm. Hurricane Plan Phases Preparation Phase Completion of tasks and teams required to prepare the site prior to each hurricane season, and to expedite the Assessment and Recovery Phases if required. For example of Task details, please see Attachment #1. Response Phase Staged alert protocol is activated when the Hurricane Alert Level is Phase 3 or higher for your site. See Attachment #2 and #4. Ride Out Phase This phase is activated by the Site Manager only when the site is shutdown and/or evacuated and the Ride out Team is left to monitor the integrity and security of the facility. See Attachment #6. Recovery Phase Following landfall, it will be necessary to limit access to the site to personnel essential to the evaluation/restoration of the site since basic human services in the community will be stretched thin. This phase will stay in effect until the lifting of any mandatory evacuation order. See Attachment #5 and #8, for activities and personnel structure. Hurricane Teams Ride Out Team A Ride out Team command structure is detailed in Attachment #4 and consists of personnel assigned from various Site Departments. The Ride Out Team is detailed in Attachment #6 and is staffed by qualified volunteers. Ride Out Team members must commit to report to the Page 9 site in the event of a mandatory evacuation and remain until released. Non Ride Out Team personnel will be required to report to work as scheduled until they are relieved by a Ride Out Team member or released by Site Management even after a mandatory evacuation has been called. It is the responsibility of the Ride Out Team to maintain or reduce operating activities to the level designated by Management during the Response Phase of a hurricane event. Assessment Team The Assessment Team organization is detailed in Attachment #3 and is made up of personnel assigned from various site Departments. As soon as safely practical at the beginning of the Recovery Phase, they are responsible for returning to the site to conduct an initial security/damage assessment and to secure the facility to the best of their ability. Recovery Team The Recovery Team command structure is detailed in Attachment #8 and is made up of personnel assigned from various site Departments. The hurricane Recovery Team is depicted in Attachment #3. They are responsible to restore the Site to normal operations following initial damage assessment until any mandatory evacuation order is lifted. Hurricane Preparation Unit Level Unit Check List Update and Validation by Phase At the beginning of hurricane season, business units, construction areas, and fenceline companies will prepare their areas for the hurricane season by completing the items on the Hurricane Preparedness Checklist. Refer to example Hurricane Checklist Attachment #1. The completed checklist should be approved by the responsible unit lead and submitted to the Site Hurricane Coordinator no later than May 15 of each year. The Communications Manager will issue various site wide communications for annual awareness announcing hurricane season and reminding employees of info line access and call in procedures. Watch Preparations Be watchful of loose materials that must be tied down or brought inside before high winds are anticipated. Some examples are: • Chain operator chains and overhead cranes • Ladders, pipe • Storage buildings not on slab Page 10 • • • • • • • • Fire extinguishers (Tie to mounts with retractable Bunge cords during pre-season preparations). Waste containers Sheet metal and building materials Bicycles Cylinders, buckets, barrels Chemical totes Incomplete construction material and scaffolds Emergency escape respirators if cabinets are loose Include in your plan a detailed inspection of elevated platforms and pipe racks for loose materials. Some examples are: • Fire extinguishers • Ropes, hoses • Ladders, scaffolds • Fittings and tools • Incomplete construction material • Emergency escape respirators if cabinets are loose Personnel Preparation Identify Ride Out Team Members A small number of employees may stay in the plant during level 1, 2, or 3 hurricanes to perform plant security and leak mitigation. In preparation for Hurricane Season identification of Ride Out Team Members is essential. Therefore, critical personnel that have in depth knowledge of the operating facility, environmental, security, maintenance, electrical/instrument, logistics and medical will be requested to serve on this team. Personnel that have agreed to serve on the Ride Out Team will be communicated to Incident Command (IC) for consideration. See Attachment #6. The Ride Out Team mission is: • Plant Security • Local contact for city, county, or industrial emergency response teams • Leak mitigation • Initial damage and safety assessment to include industrial hygiene requirements prior to return of any team Identify Unit Assessment Team Members Before employees return to the plant after a storm, a thorough evaluation of all areas and systems shall be performed. During this time, we must stay true to our values of Personnel Safety, Process Safety and Environmental protection. Personnel Safety shall be maintained at all times. Therefore, critical personnel that have in depth knowledge of the operating facility, environmental, maintenance, electrical/instrument, Page 11 and logistics will be requested or can volunteer to serve on this team. Personnel that have agreed to serve on Unit Assessment Team will be communicated to Incident Command for consideration. See Attachment #3. The Assessment Team mission is to: • Relieve Ride-Out Team • Conduct initial damage assessment • Begin recovery planning and hand-off to Recovery Team • Coordinate return of key personnel with Site Leadership Team • Utilize check-list in Attachment #19 • Provide post hurricane orientation to returning employees and contractors Identify Recovery Team The purpose of the Recovery Team is to perform a systematic hazard/damage assessment, communicate the results of that assessment to key stakeholders, scope the repair effort that is required before the assets can be restarted, and develop a plan to staff the assets repairs and staff the assets restart. The ride-out crew will serve as the initial assessment and recovery team. Therefore, critical personnel that have in depth knowledge of the operating facility, environmental, maintenance, electrical/instrument, and logistics will be requested or can volunteer to serve on this team. Personnel that have agreed to serve on Unit Recovery Team will be communicated to Incident Command for consideration. The goal of the recovery team is to restore the site back to normal operations. See Attachment #3. Validate Unit Shut Down Procedures with Employees Prior to hurricane season, it is required that all operations conduct, at a minimum, a tabletop shutdown scenario. Additionally, all unit shut down procedures shall be validated for completeness by the area trainer and approved by the unit lead. Site Level In preparation for hurricane season some considerations are noted below: • • • • • • • Have an accurate understanding of your site elevation and drainage. Determine how best to keep pumps dry. Determine which can be moved out of the area prior to the storm and, conversely, whether additional, bigger, pumps will be needed to pump floodwaters out of the plant. Acquire effective sandbags and enough rubber boots. Pre-planning on raw materials Reactive chemicals are specifically accounted for in hurricane plans. Ensure monitoring cameras are fully operational. Integrate fence-line/small neighboring plants into your hurricane plans. Page 12 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Ensure you have an integrated personnel plan by Zip Code that includes contractors. Chemical plants are often integrated, thus it is important to have contact information of all of your key suppliers to know their situation/challenges. Supply reviews need to be done regularly. See Attachment #16. Consider alternative power supplies for critical operations, e.g. Generators in your annual preparation. Backup generators should be placed at high levels level in anticipation of flooding. Hurricanes come with lightning, thus evaluate your lightning arrestors. Consider utilizing 3rd-party weather services, such as Storm Geo or Sign up for the EHCMA Hurricane Status Reporting System not just so the county and city emergency response coordinators know your status but also so you receive information from the Harris County Industrial Liaison – David Wade. Remember in your planning. “There is no such thing as a “normal storm” even if you plan!” Recognize that your ability to operate the plant will be affected by whether workers are able to travel to the plant and travel home. Staff with employees with multiple skillsets. Acquire enough (good) food before roads are impassable. Have extra cots on hand and laundry capability. Consider ride out team accommodations and provision needs for multiple days Develop process to conduct Fatigue checks on ride out team to ensure safety. Secure nearby hotel rooms early to stage relief crews and provide high-water vehicles so they can reach the plant. Determine how to deal with medical needs if hospitals are not available. Anticipate injuries associated with a storm, how to prevent them and potential medical supplies needed. With hospitals shutting down, if someone at plant got injured a good plan needed to be in place to care for people. Evaluate potential medical concerns, when local hospitals shut down; needed a proactive plan for medical issues (people and supplies) including accident response when-hospitals shut down, ambulance service down Logistics- Consider how to deal with disruptions when suppliers, customers, and distribution systems are not operating normally. Set up an employee accountability system that will work for your situation; some found off-site systems the most successful. Create lists with more than one way to contact an employee and keep it up to date. Utilize the months leading up to Hurricane season to evaluate your personnel contact lists and provide other means to ensure your people are ready, e.g. Magnetic company contact info, zip code identifier, site buddies, etc. Determine the frequency with which to contact employees in a long-term event like Harvey because situations change. Consider the kinds of phones/service needed in the event of disruptions: land lines, cell phones, satellite phone. Hurricane plan should address flooding associated with storms, not just hurricane wind response. Page 13 Site Check List Update and Validation Validate Unit Check Lists by Phase Establish a site liaison to validate and approve all unit hurricane preparation check lists. Please note that during hurricane season that check lists could cover multiple phases. For example, pre-season preparation such as securing material that could become airborne vs. raising the level in a tank when a hurricane is imminent. See Attachment #9 and #10. Update Supply Lists (Essential, Ride Out Team, etc.) To ensure that your personnel needs will be taken care of, one must ensure that the appropriate supplies are available. For example, please see Attachment #11 Hurricane Ride Out Team Supply List, Attachment #13 Essential Supply List and Attachment #12 Satellite Command Supply Check List. Update Medical Supplies In preparation for hurricane season, it is important to evaluate medical supplies and local hospitals to ensure that the needed items and services will be available. Some considerations are as follows: • • • Coordinate with local hospitals and regional crisis centers to ensure medical supplies availability. Evaluate daily hospital situations to ensure that proper medical attention will be provided if an incident occurred that required higher than EMT care. Ensure that your transfer vehicles, e.g. Ambulance are readied and personnel are available for transport. Validate Temporary Equipment Needs (generators, pumps, etc.) In preparation for hurricane season, one should consider the need for larger rental equipment such as generators, diesel pumps, etc. to ensure that low lying areas (such as control rooms) are protected from flood waters. Since these items can be in high demand after a hurricane, it is prudent to make reservations or have on-site prior to hurricane season. Validate Unit by Unit Site Shutdown Plans It is important to understand how long it would take to execute a unit shutdown at a plant site in a safe and orderly fashion. This information can then be utilized with other utility and raw material information to determine the sequential shutdown of a plant site. An example is located in Attachment #14, however this can vary based on the expected severity of the storm. Unit shutdowns should follow existing unit operating procedures, and plans should be made to minimize emissions. If portable generators and air compressors are needed they should be staged accordingly. If a Page 14 unit or site shutdown is triggered, each unit/department or area will initiate their plan to safely turndown/shutdown and secure their areas, in coordination with IC (Incident Command). An example of a unit shutdown could involve the unit be left in the following state: • • • • • • Feed removed Furnace(s) shutdown Pumps de-energized Compressors shutdown and de-energized Vessels de-inventoried where possible Storage tanks blanketed if required Storage tanks prepared for high winds and high water MCC de-energized and plans for transformers and substations • In addition to unit shutdown activities, Operating units and departments shall be in continuous communication with their IC to ensure that shutdown activities are progressing as planned. Upon completion of shutdown, a final communication shall be given to the IC. Validate Financial Needs Plan Financial planning should be executed during the hurricane preseason. Some items to consider are as follows: • • • Availability of cash after a hurricane Cost of supporting impacted employees – pre-plan impact level costs o Housing needs (apartments, hotels, etc.) o Employee support package (cash, gift cards, etc.) o Home damage o Etc. Increase credit lines for key individuals at the site Site Management Readiness Approval Upon completion of Attachment #1 by unit leadership, the Site Management Team shall review for completeness by June 1st. Upon approval of completed document, Site Management shall sign and forward to Regional Crisis Center for review and approval. Personnel Preparation Identify Key Roles for Site Leadership Team It is important that members of the Site Leadership Team assume critical specific roles in preparation for hurricane season as well as leading specific teams during and after a hurricane. See attachments #4 and #8. Page 15 Some examples would be: • Incident command lead • Satellite command center preparation • Ride Out Team lead • Assessment Team Lead • Recovery Team Lead • Communications Lead • Environmental Lead • Financial Lead • Employee Recovery Lead • Employee Relations Lead • Operations Lead • Power Distribution lead • Contractor Liaison • Community Liaison • Etc. Identify Incident Command (IC) and Severe Weather Team The Site Lead together with the HSE Lead shall review and approve the IC Team members. The IC (Incident Command) shall follow the NIMS (National Incident Management System) structure. The Severe Weather Team (SWT) will coordinate activities for securing the assets and will provide emergency action planning for conditions that may arise prior to the time the assets are returned to normal operating conditions. This team should meet annually prior to the official start of hurricane season. Severe Weather Team (SWT) Responsibilities Severe Weather Team Lead • • • • • • The Severe Weather Team will need to make recommendations on shutdown of operations early as possible. The team lead may include the operations leads in discussions related to the storm preparations. Provide communication to the IC at declaration of Phase 1indicating the Severe Weather Team has been formed. Initiate severe weather alerts to all teams and call meetings as necessary. Review weather information and formulate decisions relating to assets status and preparation. Inform and coordinate major decisions with Site Lead as soon as possible. Make recommendations to Site Lead to move to Satellite Command Structure. Selection of Ride Out, Assessment and Recovery Teams The Site Lead together with the HSE Lead shall review and approve the proposed members of the Ride Out, Assessment and Recovery Team Members. Consideration Page 16 shall be given to those individuals that possess in depth knowledge of the key operating units as well as environmental, security, maintenance, electrical/instrument, logistics and medical knowledge. Define Essential and Non Essential Personnel Personnel approved as Ride Out, Unit Assessment and Recovery Assessment Teams will be deemed essential personnel. All others shall be deemed non-essential personnel at this point unless requested to report to site by management. Update Employee Personal Data and Intake Forms To ensure adequate personnel preparation for hurricane season, it is imperative that all critical employee contact information is current. Therefore, it is highly recommended that prior to hurricane season a campaign is conducted to ensure employee contact information is 100% accurate. Also, it is important to develop/audit your employee tracking forms and/or post hurricane questionnaires are validated. • • • “Send Word Now” and Amerilert system – validate/update settings – “groups” Utilize offsite IC and “Send-word-now” system to communicate and facilitate support. Consider the following: o Accountability protocol worked well/check for current phone numbers o Phone contact with employees o Use of an off-site communications system o Keeping cell phone numbers updated o Consider for each employee, 2 phone numbers and 1 email address o Consider Accountability system for multiple day events o Consider developing a predefined questionnaire to aid in efficiency and understanding employees damages or on-line form that could be filled out o Coordinate regular plant status communications 2/day, 1/day Validate Employee Pay Schedules Due to the possibility that some employees may not be able to leave your site due to weather and/or operating conditions outside of your control or have volunteered to be members of e.g. Ride Out Team, one should develop and/or validate pay schedules to ensure employee compensation is correct. Typical pay schedules determine when premium pay starts (Site Lead) and when it ends (Site Lead). Identify Security Staffing Requirements In the event that a site is completely shut down, one should identify qualified internal or external personnel to ensure the sites assets are protected and maintained. Page 17 Update Communication Tools (Amerilert) Consideration shall be given to utilize your communication tools such that specific groups call outs can be set up prior to hurricane season. Groups could include: • • • • • • • • Site Leadership Team Ride Out Team Assessment Team Recovery Team Owners Contractor Teams Non-essential personnel Etc. Develop Local Staffing Plan for Employee Assistance Recovery Plan In preparation for hurricane recovery efforts, one should consider utilization of nonessential personnel volunteers to support your impacted employees once they are free to return to your site. Therefore, prior to hurricane season it is recommended to conduct a volunteer campaign. Areas of consideration would include: • • • • • • • • Meal preparation Home remediation (removal of drywall) Garbage removal Personal support group Temporary living Supply distribution Fuel distribution Etc. Discuss and Validate Plans with Local Government and LEPC Once you have completed your hurricane preparedness plans, it is recommended that you convene a meeting with local government and LEPC personnel. The objective of this meeting is to ensure that each group understands the preparation activities and personnel available to support a successful hurricane recovery effort. It is also important to ensure that all contact information is current for all parties involved. It is recommended that you appoint one (1) person from your site to be the liaison. Page 18 Corporate Level (Regional Crisis Center) At the corporate level, many opportunities are available to support impacted sites and the communities that they operate in. Establish a corporate organizational chart for specific coverage areas and practice with site personnel for personnel recovery efforts and specific assets, e.g. pumps, motors, valves, etc.. Some considerations could be: • • • • • • • • • Consider how you will help your community; e.g. donations; cleanup and equipment; equipment to assist cities; rescues; and more. Donations during Harvey that were specifically related to the storm included lending a big pump to a city water purification plant that prevented floods from shutting it down; fuel for first responders; PPE for residents cleaning up after the storm; and funds for vaccines such as tetanus for city health department. Evaluate the need to use remote monitoring or site mapping at Regional Crisis Center. Practice drills with local site personnel to ensure readiness is intact. Anticipate employee assistance needs and what the plant and corporate can do to help them personally and to enable them to return to work and concentrate while on the job. Financial help; personal time off; employees volunteering to help others; equipment and supplies for cleanup, remediation, and repairs; housing, cars, and gasoline; access to company resources for restoration, legal advice and more; and food. Consider activating a regional crisis center Regional Crisis Center to support site facility 48-72 hours in advance of hurricane landfall. Regional crisis centers away from impacted area create a calmness and advantage to procure needed essential items. Create a structure meeting agenda with regional crisis center to optimize efficiency. Practice and plan during April/May with Regional Crisis Center to ensure essential item lists are current and clearly understood. Secure hotels for impacted employees and for potential needs to set up a satellite command center. Develop a supplies or “key essential” master template. Develop a Key suppliers list with contact information. See Attachment #16 Develop Staffing Plan for Personnel Recovery with Site (housing, fuel, essential needs) To ensure that impacted employee needs will be taken care of, one must ensure that the appropriate organizational design is in place. Therefore, it is recommended to institute a regional crisis center organization that will support the impacted site with key supplies and personnel as needed. Once the local personnel recovery team staffing is approved, it is recommended to have a liaison from the Regional Crisis Center staffing plan. Thurs, the members can coordinate activities/orders together. For example, Page 19 generators, dehumidifiers, fuel, general supplies, etc. that would be needed to support impacted employees. Consideration should be given in locating the regional crisis center outside of the expected impact areas. Validate Plan to Secure Key Personnel Recovery Items It is recommended that the potentially impacted site provide the regional crisis center with a list of potential needs prior to hurricane season. The regional crisis center personnel should meet with their site counterparts to validate the list. It is recommended that this be conducted annually. A best practice consideration would be to generate multiple lists, for example, a wind event list and a flood list. Examples are shown on Attachments #11, #12 and #13. Validate Mobilization Plan of Key Personnel Recovery Items After the potential needs list is validated, the regional crisis center personnel will determine availability and timing of requested supplies and accommodations. Upon completion of this assessment, the local and regional crisis center personnel shall meet to ensure alignment of key supplies. Approve and Fund Financial Plan Upon receipt of site financial plan, the regional crisis center shall approve/reject the request for budgeted funds. If rejected the Regional Crisis Center shall contact the Site Lead. Review Crisis Communication Strategy Prior to hurricane season, the crisis communication strategy shall be developed/reviewed for completeness. It is recommended to have templates available for various scenarios as depicted in Attachment #15. Conduct Tabletop Review with Site Upon completion of hurricane preparation, site leadership together with Regional Crisis Center leadership should conduct a tabletop review to ensure readiness. Regional Crisis Center Approval After completion of tabletop review, Regional Crisis Center shall approve or reject the site hurricane plan. If rejected, the Regional Crisis Center Lead and the Site Lead shall discuss action items required for approval. Page 20 Hurricane Alert Levels Review Action / Trigger Plans Prior to hurricane season, it is recommended to review and/or train your hurricane alert levels with your key personnel. Below you will find two (2) examples of how action trigger plans are implemented. Example #1 The following alert phases are based on the number of miles or hours tropical force winds are from Site “X”. These phases are used as a guide only. Each hurricane will be dealt with individually as it develops and approaches land. Phase 1 - 1,200 Miles or 120 Hours Alert • • HSE (Health, Safety and Environmental) team will meet to begin implementation of hurricane response plan. Severe Weather Team Lead will notify Site Lead and HSE Lead that Phase 1 has commenced and monitoring will be initiated. Phase 2 - 960 Miles or 96 Hours Alert • • Site Leadership Team – Review Attachment #2 and Attachment #3. Determine if a plant shutdown is necessary based on the analysis of weather data collected, public mandatory evacuations, and school closures. Site Lead has final approval of site shutdown. Coordinate in such a manner to maximize safe, controlled shutdown of equipment and processes. Refer to and review Attachment #14 Unit Shutdown Sequence. Phase 3 – 720 Miles or 72 Hour Alert • • Site Leadership Team – Review Attachment #2 and Attachment #3. Review availability of Ride Out Team, Assessment and Recovery Team personnel. Phase 4 – 480 Miles or 48 Hour Alert • • • • Site Leadership Team – Review Attachment #2 and Attachment #3. Release Ride Out Team to take care of family at home. Production, Maintenance, and Construction - Complete the checklists on Attachment #9 48-Hour Checklist. Completed checklists are to be delivered to the IC. Refer to Attachment #10 Securement Procedure for securement methods. Determine if satellite command is needed. If so, implement. Phase 5 - 350 Miles or 36 Hour Alert • Site Leadership Team - In place at off site command center and under the direction of the Site Lead or designee. Page 21 • Ride Out Team - In place and under the direction of the HSE Lead or designee.. o Store personal vehicles of Ride Out team in plant warehouses. o Take over Security duties. o Consider whether to enlarge size of ride-out crew or how to replace them in an extended event. • Assessment Team – In place at off site command center and under the direction of the HSE Lead or designee. • Facility Security Officer - Coordinate release of remaining Security personnel, who will turn Security duties over to the Ride Out Team. • Electrical/Instrument Ride Out Team Member - Verify function of generator at gas pump. • Day Safety Superintendent - Will authorize the notification to the insurance company of all fire water systems that have been isolated at the Site. Example #2 Once a storm begins development near the Texas Coast or projections indicate the facility is potentially in the path of a storm, the Safety Superintendent or designee assesses and decides if the Hurricane Advisory Team is to be activated. The Hurricane Advisory Team consists of: • HSE Manager • Operations Manager • Safety Superintendent • Unit Lead #1 • Unit Lead #2 The Hurricane Advisory Team is responsible for monitoring the storm's progress, potential impact to the site and keeping the Leadership Team informed of storm conditions and action that must be taken. Once activated, the Hurricane Advisory Team will meet as determined by the Safety Superintendent. The team is also responsible for notifying the Contingency Assessment Team once a storm is deemed a threat to the site and providing regular updates (every 12 hours). When advised by the Hurricane Advisory Team, the Site Lead or designee will make the decision on when to initiate a plant Turndown*1. If a plant turndown is called for, the Hurricane Advisory Team will continue to meet and monitor the storm track. A plant turndown can be stopped and reversed if the hurricane should change course and no longer threaten the plant. Once notified by the Hurricane Advisory Team, the Contingency Assessment Team will also begin meeting. The Contingency Assessment Team consists of the: • Finance Manager- Team Lead *1Turndown – A step-down in production rates (25-50%) to aid in a complete site shutdown sequencing. Page 22 • • • • • • • • Procurement Site Lead Maintenance Manager Technical Manager Operations Manager HSE Manager Human Resources Manager Capital Projects Superintendent IT (Information Technology) Manager The Contingency Assessment Team will support the plant from a financial, accounting, and services perspective prior to arrival of the storm as well as during post storm activities. The Hurricane Advisory Team is responsible for monitoring the storm's progress, potential impact to the Site, and keeping the Site Leadership Team informed of storm conditions and action that must be taken. Once activated, the Hurricane Advisory Team will meet as determined by the Safety Superintendent. The team is also responsible for notifying the Contingency Assessment Team once a storm is deemed a threat to the Site by providing regular updates. Plant Coordination for Turndown When the Site Manager or designee initiates a plant turndown, a command center will be set up in the Emergency Operations Center. The control center will be staffed with the following representatives: • Operations Manager • Unit #1 Operations • Unit #2 Operations • Unit #3 Operations • Unit #4 Operations • Unit #5 Operations • Maintenance Services • Electrical - Shared Services • Procurement Liaison • Environmental Liaison • Laboratory Liaison The Operations Manager or their designee will chair this command center. The command center will monitor unit shutdowns and assist the units by calling suppliers and advising them of needs and plans and working on coordination efforts across the plant. A preliminary list of suppliers by operating area is included as Attachment #16. A unit shutdown sequence should be developed to determine the overall time to safely shutdown each unit in an orderly fashion. A sequence example is located in Attachment #14 and varies based on the expected severity of the storm. The Page 23 command center will be de-activated (dismissed) at T-16 hrs at timeline 1, 2 and 3, and T-24 hrs. at timeline 4, 5. Unit shutdowns should follow existing unit operating procedures, and plans should be made to minimize emissions. At the trigger on Attachment #14 (Plant Turndown/Shutdown Sequence), each unit/department or area will initiate the plan to safely turndown/shutdown and secure their areas. This will include strict coordination of employee schedules to assure proper personnel are in place for preparations and all employees are released home in a safe and timely process. (Ride Out Team – Attachment #6) When a unit shutdown is called for, unit will typically be left in the following state: • Feed removed • Furnace(s) shutdown • Pumps and other powered equipment will be de-energized • Compressors shutdown and de-energized • Vessels de-inventoried where possible • Storage tanks blanketed if required • Storage tanks prepared for high winds and high water – determine appropriate levels based on a location (inside or outside) In addition to unit shutdown activities, Operating units and departments will begin preparation per the checklists in Attachment #9 and #10. These checklists should be completed as soon as possible and delivered to the command center. The command center will request status updates during the turndown period. It is not intended that all items needing attention are covered in the checklists. They should serve as a guideline to aid in the preparation process. All area units should be checked regularly (12 hours) and necessary action taken as the situation dictates. Note: Local jurisdictions have the authority to mandate evacuation for a hurricane that would be based on risk associated with our area. This guideline and associated timelines can be altered based on information the plant receives from local authorities. Sufficient time is needed by employees in evacuation areas to prepare their families and personal residences.

The Site Lead and designated support personnel will determine need for relocation to an offsite central location. From this location they will maintain communication with the Ride-Out Crew. If warranted, a special Hurricane Assessment Team will be activated, see Attachment #3. The Assessment Team members will shelter off site at a determined safe location to support the Site Leadership Team and the Hurricane Ride Out Team during the hurricane, with expertise and experience of plant operations, maintenance and trouble-shooting. Preparation of materials for the offsite command center shall be prepared in accordance with Attachment #12. This Hurricane Assessment Team will be under the direction of the HSE Lead and supported by an assigned Shift Superintendent as their designated team leader. The Shift Superintendent assigned to the Hurricane Assessment Team will oversee the setup and deployment of the five basic supply requirements supporting Sheltering, Food Supplies, Transportation, Communication Equipment, and Alternate Power Supply. The designated Recovery Team (Attachment #3 Hurricane Teams) will also be activated for post-hurricane recovery activities. This Recovery Team will remain on stand-by to return to the site after the hurricane, once it is safe to travel from individually chosen storm shelter locations, and as coordinated by the Assessment Team. The Site Leadership Team, under the direction of the Site Lead will set up and operate the off-site command center, with the assistance of the designated Shift Superintendent and the Assessment Team. The primary function will be to communicate with the Hurricane Ride Out Team and the Regional Crisis Center. Communications with the Hurricane Ride Out Team will be updated every four hours until time of hurricane impact, and then approximately two (2) hours after the storm has passed. Communication will address current personnel accountability, chemical containment, fenceline companies status, information from local agencies (City, County, LEPC and Coast Guard), and site over-all condition. Site information will be evaluated and communicated through the Regional Crisis Center as needed. One site medic will also be assigned to oversee any medical needs of the team members and their families while at the off-site satellite command center. The Assessment Team’s primary function will be to assist the Shift Superintendents with all equipment setup and supply distribution needs. The team will also assist the Site Leadership Team with unit evaluation issues that may arise. Page 26 The Environmental Representative will establish a communication link with the Offsite Command Center to provide updates to Agencies as necessary. They, together with the Communication Liaison, will also monitor Agencies, news media and trade groups for any announcements related to the hurricane. Activation of Regional Crisis Center At Phase 3 or 72 hours prior to landfall, consideration should be given to activate the Regional Crisis Center. Thereafter, a minimum of two meetings per day shall be conducted with Site Lead, Regional Crisis Center Lead, Site HSE Lead and Regional HSE Lead or their designee. Implementation of Ride Out Team A small number of employees may stay in the plant during Phase 3, 4, or 5 hurricanes to perform plant security and leak mitigation. If wind speeds are projected above the 130 mph threshold, this Team will be re-located to a safe location or dismissed based on risk assessment determined by the Contingency Assessment Team. The ride-out team's mission is: • Plant Security • Local contact for city, county, or industrial emergency response teams • Leak mitigation • Initial damage and safety assessment which includes industrial hygiene requirements prior to return of first return crew. Personnel remaining in the plant after the plant is shut down during a hurricane will do so on a volunteer basis. Personnel must be fully qualified / knowledgeable of the process area operations. The Day Safety Superintendent, together with site management, will determine the number of Operation and Maintenance personnel needed to provide coverage. (Attachment #3 Hurricane Teams) The Hurricane Ride Out Team will remain under the direction of the Day Safety Superintendent during the shutdown period until released back to their departments. Typically staffing should include: • Employees who can multi-task for repairs, operations and provide medical assistance, e.g. EMT • Provide important contact information to team, e.g. Management staff, local, county and state support personnel. Harris county via David Wade’s warning (via the Hurricane Status Reporting System) AFTER THE STORM, MEMBERS OF THIS TEAM WILL NOT BE ALLOWED OUTSIDE UNTIL CONDITIONS ARE DETERMINED TO BE SAFE BY THE RIDE-OUT CREW LEADER IN COORDINATION WITH IH ASSESSMENTS. (Attachment #17) Page 27 The Ride Out Team will be housed in the specific hurricane rated area. Ride out duration will depend on the scope of damage and the ability to get the Recovery Team back in the plant. The Ride-Out Team may be housed in the plant from one to three days following the hurricane. Each person on the Ride Out Team staying in the plant should have access to or possession of the following items: • Discretionary personal hygiene and comfort items from home - blankets, pillows, toiletries, medicines, radio, spare shoes, socks, etc. • Flashlights, spare batteries, rubber boots, slicker suit, etc. • The EMT is responsible for maintaining a fully stocked medical kit. • Access to the full complement of tools, materials, equipment, and vehicles in the Plant. • The Fire & Safety Specialist will have Master keys to all buildings and shops • A tractor and heavy tow chain will be made available to the Ride-Out Team at a safe location near the ride out structure. • An aluminum boat will be stored in or near the ride out structure. Paddles will be stored inside the ride out structure. • Additional supplies needed for the team are included in Attachment #11. Rules and Roles of the Ride Out Team include: • Members of the team will not be allowed outside until conditions are determined to be safe by the Ride-Out team Leader unless human life is in danger. • Members must maintain contact with the satellite command center throughout the storm. Once landlines are lost, various methods of communication will be used; cell phones and satellite phones will be available. • During approach and after passage of the storm the Ride-Out team leader will gather data and make all decisions on seeking shelter or venturing outside. Observational data includes but are not limited to flying debris, difficulty in walking, wind gusts, standing water, amount of rain, or other hazards. • Once conditions are deemed safe to venture outside, a buddy system will be utilized to begin an organized plant survey to assess damage and identify at risk situations. Teams shall be formed beforehand based on area responsibility. • Initial focus will be on safety and environmental risk assessments. • Each member shall provide the team leader an assessment of their responsible area of expertise for communication back to the Satellite Command Center. Ride-Out Team / Responsibilities • To perform safe mitigation of abnormal conditions where approved by the command and control leadership. • Serve as the initial recovery team providing a first look damage and hazard assessment within EOC as soon as the storm passes and the conditions outside allow (<39 mph sustained). Page 28 • • • • • • Provide area status information regarding their assigned area to the command and control leaders. Serve as site security and report breaches. Conduct the initial area assessment post storm and report to the on-site leadership staff. No exiting of safe shelter above 39 mph sustained winds without EOC authorization and safety plan (buddy, tie off and accountability/communication systems). Conducting advance personal preparations for hurricane support. Personnel volunteering for the Hurricane are responsible for making advance personal preparations before Hurricane Season. This is intended to minimize the time required for final preparations to be completed when the Ride-Out Team is released. Post Hurricane Site Leadership Coordination Attachment #18 Site Leadership Team Meeting Initiation The Site Leadership Team will meet daily regarding hurricane preparations approximately 4 days out from landfall, depending on the severity potential of the storm. After a hurricane, the Site Leadership Team shall meet twice daily to assess personnel and site impact and provide direction to the key leaders to resolve issues/challenges to return the Site back to normal operations. This is a guideline for conducting those meetings. The actual meeting agenda will utilize a template based on the type of storm. (See Attachment #18 for further details) Implementation of Assessment Team The Assessment Team returns to site to assist the Ride Out Team, conduct further assessments and coordinate resources needed to begin recovery process, under the direction of the HSEQ Head. Assessment Team and Recovery Team After the storm, the functional positions of the Assessment Team and the Recovery Team will coordinate Site activities. The IH (Industrial Hygiene) Lead will monitor and inform the Site Lead and HSE Lead when it is safe for staff to return to the Site. These teams will assemble and conduct damage assessments following IH and Occupational Safety/Health assessments (See Attachment #17). This information will assist in determining communication requirements and post hurricane orientation to returning employees and contractors. Page 29 The Assessment Team will also marshal resources based on what is requested by the Recovery Team. They will ensure that environmental controls and utilities are available to control emissions prior to startup of the operating units. The Ride Out Team will be relieved as soon as practical by the Assessment Team. The Assessment Team will make a preliminary assessment of damage to the plant and begin planning for return of employees. Priority will be on establishing control of loss of containment for chemicals and establishment of control of emissions as dictated by the operating hierarchy. All employees shall remain ever vigilant to hidden hazards. Process Safety systems shall be followed and utilized to assure safe startup is achieved. We shall evaluate and restart Environmental Protection systems as soon as they are available. The assessment team may require additional technical expertise as follows: Technical Assessment Team / Responsibilities • • • • This team will be staffed with selected personnel from various disciplines such as civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and process engineering groups that support plant operations and reliability personnel. Responsible for evaluation and prioritization of repairs necessary for a safe restart of the facility. Communicate findings to Site Leadership Team Ensure that you have a civil, structural and architectural firm that can evaluate your site assets (buildings, piperacks, etc.) after a wind/flood event. Implementation of Recovery Team The purpose of the recovery crew is to a) perform a systematic hazard/damage assessments, communicate the results of that assessment to key stakeholders, b) scope the repair effort that is required before the assets can be restarted, develop a plan to staff the assets repairs, c) staff the assets restart. (See Attachment #20) The Ride Out Team will serve as the initial Recovery Team. Recovery Crew / Responsibilities • The Maintenance, Reliability and operations assessment and repair staffing for the recovery effort shall be per Attachment #3. Individuals shall be identified before June 1st of each year for these roles. • A structural integrity survey shall be performed after the areas are verified free of chemical and fire hazards. The surveys are intended to identify structural members that have already failed, or have been stressed to the point that they may fail as recovery operations continue. Since cooling towers are very susceptible to wind damage, particular attention should be placed on examination of cooling tower stairs and load bearing members. Personnel performing these assessments will typically consist of CSA (Civil, Structural and Architectural) engineering, operations, maintenance, and HSE personnel. Page 30 • • Critical system assessments shall be performed. A detailed checklist for assessment and recovery details on the following systems should be considered for: o Power distribution o Cooling Water Tower and System o Instrument air and Nitrogen system o Steam System o Flare system o Potable Water system o Wastewater Treatment system (including septic systems) Prepare a list of potential maintenance activities that should be considered while the unit is shutdown including the following: o LDAR repair list (Leak Detection And Repair) o Past due inspection recommendations requiring a shutdown o Other proactive activities to reduce the risk of potential safety, environmental, or reliability incidents. Start Up Plans Communications Manager - Communicate information regarding plant operation and work requirements to Site personnel by telephone and/or radio. Facility Security Officer – Maintain communication with the United States Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, state and local agencies and take steps necessary to maintain security of the site. • • • • Maintain contact with the local city contacts to confirm potable water and other key service utilities availability for the Site as required. Conduct Pre-startup Safety Reviews before allowing unit startups. Team members should be from Operation, Safety, Environmental, Maintenance, Logistics and Human Resources. Evaluate fatigue management and staffing plan before startup. Authorize the notification to the insurance company of all fire water systems that have been re-activated at the Site. Facility Restart Plans for restart of the facility will be determined by the Site Lead consistent with our values of Personnel Safety, Process Safety and Environmental protection. Restart of the operating units should follow existing unit operating. All emission control equipment must be functional and required utilities such as steam, nitrogen and/or air must be available before facility start-up commences. • Evaluate Logistics and supply chain issues that could affect startup—e.g. truck and rail service is typically slow to recover. Page 31 Personnel Assessment Team Return to Work planning All Personnel should report to the plant on regular schedule after the storm has passed unless notified otherwise. It remains the responsibility of the employee to report in on your regular schedule, or contact your unit supervision. Emergency notifications will be made to employees using the Amerilert system. This system is able to send out and receive information back from employees via text message. Weather advisories and report-to-work status reports will be posted on the Employee Info Line. Employee Contact - An “All Employee Check In” Hotline and Facility Emergency Information Hotline is available at xxx-xxx-xxxx. If plant operations are impacted due to a hurricane or tropical storm the Facility Emergency Information Hotline Number will be updated with a status message for the Site. This hotline is a recorded message only and provides employees and contractors an avenue to call and find out plant status and to receive instructions concerning reporting to work. If you are in an area impacted by a hurricane or tropical storm, you must check in per the process below as soon as possible to let us know that you are safe, provide us with reliable contact numbers, advise us of your work availability, and inform us of your current location if you were forced to evacuate. There are two ways to check in, either by phone or online. • Check In By Phone o Call the All Employee Check In Hotline. Choose Option 1 and Operators will gather information such as reliable contact numbers and your current location. Once you have checked in, you do not need to call the All Employee Check In Hotline again unless your status changes and you need to update your contact information. • Check In By Email o If you cannot reach the All Employee Check-In Hotline by phone, you can send an email to xxxxx@xxxxx.com. At a minimum you should provide the following in your email: o First and last name (and nickname if commonly used) o Work location o Contact phone number in your current location o Home status (sheltering in place, staying with family elsewhere, etc.) o Both the Employee Check In Hotline and email address can be used by employees, their families, contractors, and friends to report the whereabouts of another employee or contractor. Page 32 Continue to monitor the Facility Emergency Information Hotline for updates. At least once a day, call the Site’s Emergency Information Hotline at xxx-xxx-xxxx, then follow the prompts for the Site for status updates on plant conditions, restarts, report back to work dates, etc. Monitor www.mysite.us in the event of an emergency, a crisis information web page will be activated. It will include emergency phone numbers, plant status updates, and emergency/disaster relief policies. If you do not have Internet access, continue to call the Site’s emergency information phone number at least once a day for updates. When to Return to Work • • You should return to an evacuated area when permitted by the governing authority. If you do not know, then utilize your site’s emergency contact information or contact your supervisor. All employees returning to the Plant will be re-orientated based on current safety status and operating condition of the plant prior to beginning work activities. The HSE Department will be responsible for completing this orientation. Personnel Best Practice Considerations Medical • Evaluate conditions and work with local hospitals and regional crisis centers to obtain needed medical supplies. • Evaluated daily the hospital situations to ensure that proper medical attention can be provided if an incident occurred that required higher than EMT care. • Ensure that transfer vehicles, e.g. Ambulance were readied and personnel are available for transport. Proactive advice: staff during recovery and start-up activities. Employee Assistance • Divide and Conquer, Set up 2 Senior Managers: One focused on plant startup activities and one focused on impacted employee’s needs. • Contract with several water damage restoration firms prior to storm for employees to use. • Provide legal support to employees. • Set up volunteer teams. • Humanitarian efforts for employees, time off for staff to volunteer. • Recovery--company support with employee funds, zero percent interest loans, temporary housing and additional time off • Set up relief fund and Go Fund Me accounts • Match employee donations with on-line fundraiser • Provide financial needs for impacted employees from $200 to $3000 Page 33 Impacted Housing support • Provide sheetrock • Site personnel scheduled to support house clean-up efforts (owners and contractors, consider proper contract language to cover risk) follow Attachment #17 • Provide temporary housing and hotel rooms. (consider needs early) • Provide rental cars or utilize site cars for impacted employees to use • Provide travel trailers to support families (keeps children in same school district) Essential items - see Attachment #13 • Set up Teams ahead of time • Define clean-up kits • Pre-stage dehumidifiers/blowers for employees • Determine need for generators and the fuel for them • Consider allocating gasoline and diesel tank trucks to site employees Family assistance • Determine care package make-up. • Determine who can provide cold and hot prepared meals (site volunteers) • Consider conducting a toy drive across all regional sites to support impacted families • Consider conducting a shoe drive to support impact families across region Critique and Lessons Learned As with any major event/incident, it is important to continuously learn, therefore it is highly recommended that each site conduct a critique of their facility and make the necessary changes to their site procedures.
