12. Is Your Levee Improvement District
Prepared?
Have you named primary points of contacts during
times of disaster?
Do you have an Emergency Communication Plan?
Do you have Pre-Event Contracts for key resources?
Have you adopted an Emergency Action Plan?
Are you exercising that Plan?
Are you following NIMS/ICS Protocols?
Do you encourage family preparedness for
employees and District residents?
Are you “Active” or “Passive” about Preparedness?

Editor's Notes
During preparedness planning, the local jurisdiction establishes Mutual Aid Agreements with neighboring jurisdictions to share resources that either may lack or may be depleted quickly during an emergency response. When an emergency occurs, and available resources will be depleted, constant communication to the DDC will allow the DDC to identify available resources from other jurisdictions within the district. If the DDC is unable to identify ample requested resources, communication to the SOC will help direct State agency resources through the State Emergency Management Council. As many disasters may affect a large geographical area (e.g. storms and flooding) which may cover multiple DDC’s, neighboring DDC’s may need to maintain their existing resources for emergency response operations. However, if those operations are not needed or quickly ended, resources may be delivered from one DDC to another. Also, before the Governor requests Federal assistance, verification that similar resources in DDC’s that have not identified or communicated a need will occur. This way, the Governor requests appropriate resources for the needs of the entire state.
