4 5110 Logistics Section Planning Cycle Guide 5200 Support The Support Branch, when activated, is under the direction of the Logistics Section Chief, and is responsible for development and implementation of logistics plans in support of the Incident Action Plan, including providing personnel, equipment, facilities and supplies to support incident operations. The Support Branch Director supervises the operation of the Supply, Facilities, Ground Support, Ground Support and Vessel Support Units. The Support Branch Director reports to the Logistics Section Chief Supply The Supply Unit is responsible for ordering personnel, equipment and supplies; receiving and storing all supplies for the incident; maintaining an inventory of supplies; and servicing non-expendable supplies and equipment. The Supply Unit Leader reports to the Support Branch Director Facilities The Facilities Unit is responsible for establishing, setting up, maintaining, and demobilizing all facilities used in support of response operations including, as necessary, the Command Post, the information center, staging areas, communications facilities, feeding and berthing locations, sanitation facilities, facility maintenance, and security. The Facilities Unit Director reports to the Support Branch Director. 69

5 Berthing Charleston Area There are three container terminals in the Charleston area. These facilities normally have significant uncovered space available for staging trucks and equipment. Cranes for loading equipment onto or off of vessels are readily available. Due to the height of the docks these areas are not readily compatible with small boat operations. Any use of these terminals for other than storage will have an impact on commercial operations. Expect some reluctance on the part of the State Ports Authority if use of a terminal adversely impacts operations (and rightfully so, as these are commercial enterprises). The grounds at the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources compound (Fort Johnson) provide a moderate amount of storage area (much of it unpaved) for light equipment. This is a 70

6 good location from which to conduct small boat operations Georgetown Area For responses in the Georgetown area some staging area is available at Coast Guard Station Georgetown. No lifting capability exists here between shore and vessels. Equipment must be transferred between parking areas and small boats along a long pier. The State Ports Authority terminal in Georgetown is also an option Myrtle Beach Area Facilities and space may be available at the old Air Force Base. The base is currently controlled by the Redevelopment Authority (RDA) Airports/Heliports 5230 Vessel Support The Vessel Support Unit is responsible for implementing the vessel routing plan for the incident and coordinating transportation on the water and between shore resources. Since most vessels will be supported by their own infrastructure, the Vessel Support Unit may be requested to arrange fueling, maintenance and repair of vessels on a case-by-case basis. The Vessel Support Unit Leader reports to the Support Branch Director Boat Ramps/Launching Areas Maps showing the location of public boat ramps in each county are available from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Copies of the South Carolina Wildlife Facilities Atlas are maintained at the Coast Guard Sector in the Port Operations Library. Due to the number of ramps available in the coastal area it was not deemed necessary nor realistic to identify each here. While private ramps exist, there is no definitive listing readily available which indicates the condition of these ramps and any applicable maximum boat size. 71

11 5400 Communications The Communications Unit is responsible for developing plans for the effective use of communication equipment and facilities, installing and testing communications equipment, operating the incident communications center, and distribution maintenance and repair and collection of communications equipment. The Communications Unit Leader reports to the Service Branch Director. The Communications Unit Leader shall: Review common responsibilities. Develop, implement, and coordinate the Incident Communications Plan, form ICS-205. Deliver, issue, track, maintain, support and recover communications resources, telephones, radios, base stations, repeaters, and other communications facilities. Determine Communications Branch personnel and supply needs including telephones (both landline and cellular), radios (hand-held, base stations, and repeaters) and other communications equipment and determine sources of supply. Prepare and implement the incident communications plan. Advise on the capabilities/limitations of Coast Guard communications equipment during preparation of the incident action plan Communications Plan The Port of Charleston is the primary port within the Area with significant volumes of oil or hazardous materials moving through it. Charleston is also a major container port with numerous containers of hazardous materials passing through the port daily. It is most likely that a hazardous material incident or oil spill requiring multi-agency response will occur in this area. Should an incident occur, particularly a hazardous material incident, an Integrated Communications Plan will provide the ability to communicate effectively within the multi-agency response. Implementation of the Plan begins the moment two or more agencies have jurisdiction over an incident. The Integrated Communications Plan is key to an efficiently functioning Incident Command System Incident Communications The Charleston Integrated Communications Plan identifies and employs all communications resources available, in a coordinated method, to help contain, neutralize, and minimize the effects of an accident involving oil or hazardous materials. Depending on the size and complexity of the incident, several different communications networks may be established to support the functional needs of the ICS Command Network Established to link supervisory personnel (Incident Commander to Group and Division Supervisors). Cellular telephones, pagers and 800 MHz hand-held radios will provide the primary link between mobile supervisors Tactical Network Established to support particular response needs of each agency, geographic area or 76

12 functional group. The primary Tactical (multi-agency communications) Network within the Charleston Area is the existing 800 MHz trunked radio network. The 800 MHz radio network is operated by Charleston County EPD and allows each agency to operate autonomously for routine operations. During a multi-agency response, the individual agencies or groups can be dynamically trunked together to form a seamless functional response team. The attached drawing identifies the many agencies interconnected via the Charleston County s 800 MHz radio network. Communications coverage is exceptional throughout much of the AOR, including out to the northern and southern fringes. On scene emergency activities in response to a hazardous materials incident will normally be directed by the Fire Chief in whose jurisdiction the accident/incident occurs. The local Fire Chief will coordinate the responding HAZMAT teams. The County s Emergency Operations Center (under the direction of the Charleston County EPD Director) will coordinate additional assistance as necessary, including DHEC and Coast Guard involvement as FOSC. All communications on the tactical network should be conducted in clear text (plain English), minimizing agency specific terms and abbreviations. Individual agencies continue to maintain their own VHF radio networks (police, fire, EMS, Coast Guard, DHEC etc.). These private radio networks will serve as each agency s primary operational or working communications network and serve as secondary tactical networks, since many agencies do not have inter-agency support of other VHF networks Ground-to-Air and Air-to-Air Network Established to coordinate aviation resources and between aircraft assigned to an incident Communications Support Support Network -Established to support logistics coordination and resource status changes in a complex response. The public telephone network will generally be used to coordinate multi-agency logistical and resource issues (via voice and fax). Facsimile (fax) transmissions are the primary method of exchanging complex information quickly and accurately Finance/Administration The Finance Section is responsible for the centralized tracking and complete documentation of all incident costs and advising the Incident Commander on current and future expenditures, budget status and anticipated shortfalls. The finance section is also responsible for ensuring the appropriateness of contractor costs and issuing contracts for support items Finance/Administrative Section Organization 6110 Finance Section Chief The Finance Section Chief is responsible for all financial and cost analysis aspects of the 77
