A. EMERGENCIES IN CABELL =
AND
WAYNE COUNTIES
The C/WLEPC has identified 25 different emergenc=
ies
which can impact Cabell and
Wayne Counties. They can be
generally classified into three categories, natural,
technological, and man made.
Natural emergencies include floods, tornadoes/windstorms,
brush and forest fires, and
other weather related emergencies. Technological emergencies
include hazardous material
emissions and hazardous material leaks. Man made
emergencies include
terrorism/sabotage, civil disturbances, major vehicular accidents,
and train derailments. The
C/WLEPC, in conjunction with the City of Huntington, Cabell
and Wayne County Offices of
Emergency Services, has prepared a wide variety of
emergency response plan
components and related information for the use of emergency
response, emergency
communications, and emergency management organizations
serving this area.
There are several ways in existenc=
e in
Cabell and Wayne Counties for=
notifying you of various types of
emergencies. They include early warning signal sirens
(not all areas presently covered),
mobile vehicle public address alerting, emergency
personnel door-to-door alerting, t=
one
alert radio, cable TV interrupt announcements
and/or message scrolling, commerci=
al
and public TV announcements and/or message
scrolling. There is also an Emerge=
ncy
Alert System (EAS) in place for local radio and TV
stations that is activated when
appropriate. These ways are constantly being improved
and expanded. Additional methods of
effectively notifying citizens of and visitors to
Cabell and Wayne Counties are being
studied.
