The scenario for severe weather flood: Due to sever hail and heavy rains, portions of the North River have overflown and have flooded dozens of neighborhoods in our city of Mertzville. The industrial business park, which stores various dangerous chemicals, as well as the storage facilities for much of the city’s food have been flooded as well. Of our nearly 200 thousand residents, many have found themselves in need of rescue. Many more will need shelter, food, and medical care. In accordance with the declaration from our Mayor, we are implementing the Incident Command System and emergency management response effective immediately. Because of the sudden and rapid onset of this disaster, many of our residents have found themselves trapped in their homes, on their roofs, or places of business. The rescue and care for these people is our number one goal. Temporary sheltering will need to be put in place to house the evacuees and medical treatment stations will need to be established to treat basic injuries and provide needed medications. Furthermore, the industrial business park area must be cordoned off and any chemical leakage contained. Due to the severity of this flooding, the chemicals present in the industrial park, and the likely hood that chemicals have escaped, the cities drinking water should not be drank until further notice. Additionally, the food storage facilities must be surveyed and those supplies not damaged salvaged in order to aid in the provision of supplies for those displaced. For those seriously injured, we will transport them to one of our two hospitals, depending on the nature of their injuries. We have allocated our cities three high schools and nine elementary schools to serve as temporary shelter locations. Our four junior highs will act as medical treatment facilities for those not in need of life-saving medical care. All these locations will be guarded by the National Guard as will many of the areas damaged by the flooding. Police officers from our three stations will supplement and aid the National Guard to help ensure safety and peace. Additionally, National Guardsmen from our cities training center will utilize their resources in conjunction with those of our seven fire stations to immediately being search and rescue operations.
