II. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A. Situations
1. There are a wide variety of emergency situations that might require an
evacuation of portions of the Priest Lake area.
Limited evacuation of specific geographic areas may be required as a
result of wildland fire, localized flooding, hazardous materials
accident, and /or natural gas leak.
Large-scale evacuation could be required in the event of a major
earthquake, wildland fire, or extensive flooding.
3. Hazards likely to require an evacuation in the Priest Lake area are found in
the table below, prioritized in the order they are most likely to occur:
Hazard Areas at Risk Priority Warning Time
Avalanche 0
Wildfire Wildland fire is a high risk throughout the Priest Lake area. 1 Hours to days
Earthquake Priest Lake sits astride an identified and active seismic fault. 2 0
Extended Power Outage 3 Within 24 hours
Winter Storms The risk of heavy snowfall and extreme cold is compounded by the relative remoteness of the Priest Lake region. 4 Hours to days
Flood 5 Hours to days
Wind Storm/Tornado 6 Hours to days
Hazardous Materials: Transportation 7 0 to hours
Hazardous Materials: Fixed Site 8 No warning
Landslide 9 Little to no warning
Volcano 10 Hours
Nuclear Release 11 0 - hours
B. Assumptions.
1. Evacuation of the area Priest Lake area will be complicated due to the need to
inform visitors, unfamiliar with the area, of evacuation routes and procedures,
and campers who are not tied to a formal communications/warning system.
2. Due to the relative remoteness of the region, it should be anticipated that
supporting emergency services assets traveling on the ground will require at
least one hour to respond to incidents and/or disasters in the Priest Lake area
3. In the event of short-notice incidents, there may be little if any time to
obtain personnel or equipment from external sources to support the
evacuation operation
4. Evacuation and emergency services responders will be limited on ground access
routes to the Priest Lake area.
5. Preparation and coordination of air rescue efforts will be crucial in large scale
Evacuations in the Priest Lake area.
5. The primary responsibility for planning and executing an evacuation
rests with the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office in which the triggering incident occurs, assisted by the Bonner County Department of Emergency Management (DEM).
6. The Bonner County Sheriff’s Office , area Fire Services, and local Search
and Rescue agencies have insufficient assets to be relied upon to conduct timely
door-to-door notification of individuals and special needs personnel.
7. The success of any evacuation operations will be largely dependent upon the
emergency preparations taken by individuals in the Priest Lake area.
8. It is imperative that neighborhood organizations be formed to provide oversight
and assistance to the elderly, the infirmed and the handicapped to ensure their
timely alert and evacuation in time of crisis.
9. Sufficient planning time will be available to evacuate.
III. Concept of Operations
General.
1. The primary focus of any response must be the safety and well-being of
people. Citizens in the path of a hazard must be informed, consulted and
protected throughout the emergency.
4. Analysis of the Situation. The Incident Commander will make a
determination as to the scope of the evacuation required or whether an
order to shelter-in-place is preferable, based upon a analysis of the
situation. This analysis would include:
a. The nature and magnitude of the incident
Threat to the populace
Number of people affected
Injuries and casualties
Possibility of escalation
Time available
b. Hazards and safety concerns
Hazards facing response personnel
The need to secure and isolate the area
c. Initial priorities
d. Immediate resource requirements
e. Entrance and exit routes for responders and the public
5. Evacuation vs. Shelter-in-Place. Based upon the aforementioned
analysis, the Incident Commander will decide if an evacuation is
warranted, and if so, will make a recommendation to either conduct a
partial evacuation, a full evacuation, or to conduct a shelter-in-
place.
6. Waterborne Extraction.
a. Evacuees cut off from land based evacuation routes will move to identified
boat landings for evacuation to safe areas on Priest Lake.
7. Airborne Extraction.
Should individuals be unable to move to safety over land or move
to boat landings for waterborne extraction, they may request movement from identified airfields and helispots.
Last Resort. Evacuees are cautioned that airborne extraction can be extremely risky. This manner of extraction is aircraft intensive and can be slower in response than the other evacuation options proffered. This manner of extraction is not guaranteed due to the risk imposed on rescue personnel and aircraft.
B. Evacuation Responsibilities
:
1. Bonner County Sheriff

Disseminate public information to ensure assigned personnel are briefed upon arrival and knowledgeable of evacuation procedures;
7. West Bonner County School District
Provide buses and drivers for evacuation of personnel in accordance with Memorandum of Agreement.
D. Response
1. Evacuation Warning or Request.
a. In the event an evacuation is requested by the Incident Commander,
the Bonner County Commissioners will be contacted to approve/ initiate the
evacuation. An evacuation warning or request may be approved by the
Governor of the State of Idaho based on advice from unified command and
the recommendations of County Commissioners that the totality of the
effects of the hazard/incident, places large numbers of citizens in peril.
The Incident Commander will determine the boundaries of the affected area
and utilize response resources to notify citizens of the evacuation request.
c. In issuing the evacuation directive, the authorities plan for an adequate
evacuation route.
d. The warning notification of affected persons in and around the
evacuation area warning information will be made through all available
means. These options include:
Broadcast Media (radio and television)
Emergency Alert System (EAS) through Bonner County DEM
Safety Advisories
Email broadcasts
Telephone tree notification
Pagers
Emergency response vehicles using public address systems
Public Address systems/Intercom
Fire alarms and sirens used over an extended period of time, followed by loud speaker announcements
Web site postings.
2. The local Incident Commander is responsible for making the decision to
warn the public, requesting activation of warning systems, and forming the
warning message.
5. Special Needs Considerations. Consideration must be given for warning
people who are deaf or hard of hearing and for visitors to the area who do not
speak English.
6. Door-to-Door Notification. Members of neighborhood organizations, assisted
whenever possible by emergency services personnel, may be required to
deliver evacuation warnings door-to-door, sweeping the affected area to ensure all those at risk have been advised of the need to evacuation and have responded. Door-to-door notification requires that designated personnel go to each house/business/apartment in the identified evacuation area to alert people to leave. While door-to-door notification is time consuming, in certain situations this technique may be the most appropriate form of communication to inform residents to evacuate the area. If faced with inadequate resources on the ground and/or time to conduct this type of face-to-face notification, the use of sirens, air horns and Public Address systems will be used to speed the alert process.
7. Refusal to Evacuate. It should be anticipated that some persons may
refuse to leave. In those situations, notifying emergency response
personnel should note and report the refusals through the chain of command
Persons who refuse to evacuate should be left until all others have been warned. Time permitting, further efforts may be made to persuade these individuals to leave.
E. Emergency Public Information
1. Bonner County will provide a Public Information Officer (PIO) as the lead in
coordinating the Joint Information System.
3. Provisions must be made to disseminate information through the Forest Service
and Idaho Department of Lands to tourists and campers in the area.
4. As Priest Lake is also a tourist destination, efforts must be made to
notify travelers and occupants of hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and
commercial campgrounds.
5. Follow-up information for an evacuation should include information on the
location of shelter and mass care facilities, specific evacuation routes, guidance on securing their homes, care for pets, and the need for evacuees to take certain items with them during an evacuation. When school children are evacuated, parents will demand timely information regarding the reunification process.
F. Define the Evacuation Area
1. Evacuation recommendations to the public should clearly describe the
area to be evacuated with reference to known geographical features
such as rivers and roads.
G. Evacuation Movement
General. Safe primary Evacuation Routes and Alternate Routes will be selected by the Unified Command to efficiently channel evacuees away from the hazard area. Planners will consider use of available air and waterborne assets as well as ground transit to move residents away from hazard areas.
Land Evacuation.
Primary evacuation routes from the east Priest Lake area are:
(a) East Shore Road to Cavanaugh Bay Road to State Highway 57 South
Primary evacuation routes from the west Priest Lake area are:
(a) Access roads west to State Highway 57 South
Waterborne Evacuation. Should terrain and identified evacuation routes be impassible, evacuees should move to boat landings at the points identified below:
(1) Eastern Shore:
(a) Lions Head
(b) Canoe Point
(c) Huckleberry Bay
(d) Indian Creek Bay
(e) Cavanaugh Bay
(f ) Coolin

(2) Heliborne Evacuation should be attempted as a last resort. Helispots are identified in Tabs 5 and 6 of this plan.
H. Traffic Direction and Control
1. Actual evacuation movement will be controlled by the law enforcement
agencies involved.
I. Security of Evacuated Areas
1. Perimeter Control.
a. Internal Perimeter. Law enforcement agencies may establish an
internal perimeter along the border of the area to be evacuated to keep
all people from entering this dangerous area. This perimeter may be
established so as to restrict traffic to emergency response vehicles
only.
b. External Perimeter. A second, external perimeter may be established
outside the evacuation area in order to provide information and to
eliminate sight seeing traffic.
Access Control Points. Access control points may be established to
limit access to evacuated areas. While location of access control points are situation dependent, law enforcement personnel will be prepared to establish and operate them when it becomes clear which areas have suffered significant damage.
2. Security Patrols. Patrols may be established to maintain security in
evacuated areas.
J. Coordination of Reception Facilities
1. Although special facilities are responsible for arranging reception facilities
for their clients, Bonner County Department of Emergency Management (DEM),
assisted by the American Red Cross, should be prepared to assist in this
effort, by coordinating with emergency management officials in host areas
to identify suitable reception facilities. Pre-designated shelters are listed
at Appendix 2 (Priest Lake Emergency Shelters).
2. The Director of the Office of Emergency Management, assisted by local
Red Cross representatives, will maintain contact with shelter management
officials in host areas to coordinate shelter openings and closings and
identify shelter where public transportation vehicles should discharge
evacuees.
K. Recovery/Re-Entry
1. Policy.
a. The decision to allow the evacuated population to return will be made
by the County Commissioners or the Chief Elected Official(s) of the
affected jurisdiction;
The essential safety criteria to allow re-entry of the evacuated area are:
(1) The provision of minimum access on primary roads; and
(2) Reestablishment of emergency services (police, fire, rescue, and
medical facilities; and
(3) Removal of utility hazards
2. Objectives. The primary objectives of post-disaster recovery re-entry
management is to:
a. Identify immediate needs of disaster areas;
b. Provide a systematic return to the area of human and material
resources to as to prevent loss of life and stabilize infrastructure in
order to begin the recovery process
3. Procedure
a. In order to begin re-entry, there is a need to:
(1) Provide access by clearing debris from the primary roadways
(2) Reestablish emergency police, fire, rescue and medical services.
(3) Remove and secure utility hazards while establishing minimum
capabilities
(4) Assess damages
(5) Institute emergency security and protection measures
Dependent upon the size of the evacuation, a determination will be made as to whether to allow a phased or full re-entry operation.
(1) A phased re-entry process provides access in stages as follows:
First Phase: Emergency and road clearing personnel;
Second Phase: Disaster and utility officials;
Last Phase: Unrestricted access
(2) Smaller evacuations of a lesser duration may find it reasonable to
allow unrestricted access back into the impacted area once the
hazard has abated
Re-entry to the evacuation area will be controlled by law enforcement
The Public Information Officer will create and implement a Public
Information strategy for Re-entry and Recovery Operations.
The Unified Command may rescind any/all phases of re-entry at any
time.
Property owners will only be allowed access to their property if it has been determined safe by local officials. A resident must have electrical power, potable water, and approved sewage disposal for their residence to be judged habitable.
Property owners may assess damage and secure their property only.
They may not be allowed to secure the property of others.
IV. Administration and Logistics
A. General.
When disaster threatens or strikes, the Priest Lake community must marshal its resources since prompt and effective response and recovery efforts may require more personnel, equipment, and supplies than are readily available. Local officials may find it necessary to use their government’s personnel and equipment in extraordinary ways, to call upon private citizens and organizations for assistance, and even to request help from Bonner County, neighboring jurisdictions, state and federal agencies to aid in the community’s emergency operations.
B. Policies
1. Resources and assets will be inventoried, prioritized and utilized in the
most efficient manner possible and will be applied to functions and areas
of greatest need.

responsible for securing resources from outside Bonner County and the Priest
Lake area.
C. Reports
1. Evacuations should be reported to the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office and to the Bonner County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) and other government agencies which might exercise jurisdiction over an evacuation area.
2. Record and formulate reports associated with tracking the status of evacuation and re-entry events.
3. Document and record Evacuation Directives.
D. Records.
1. Activity Logs. The Incident Commander will maintain accurate logs recording
evacuation decisions, significant evacuation activities and the commitment of
resources to support evacuation operations.
2. Documentation of Costs. Expenses incurred in conducting evacuations
for certain hazards, such as hazardous materials incidents my be recoverable
from the responsible party. Hence, all agencies will maintain records of
personnel and equipment used and supplies consumed during large-scale
evacuations.
E. Fiscal
1. Cost Centers. Additional cost centers specific to the emergency/disaster
will be assigned and utilized in order to best track expenditures and costs.
F. Logistics
1. EOC will make provisions to move essential supplies and equipment from
the evacuation area (e.g., medical and sanitation supplies, food, water,
communications systems, emergency power generators, fuel, emergency
and support vehicles).
2. An Incident Staging Area will be established in proximity to but out of the incident.
that should provide easy access to major roadways leading into the incident area.
Tentative locations initially found suitable as staging areas are:
Priest Lake Information Center
_______________________________
3. The EOC will request/provide mutual aid in accordance with neighboring
jurisdictions to support the evacuation/re-entry effort.
G. Post Incident Review
Following the large-scale evacuations, representatives of businesses and residents of Priest Lake will meet with Bonner County Commissioners, the Director of Emergency Management, the Bonner County Sheriff, and representatives of agencies involved in the evacuation effort to conduct a review of the emergency response services provided. The purpose of the review will be to identify needed improvements in this plan, procedures, facilities, and equipment.
