PART I. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Executive Summary
It is the mandated responsibility of the Department of Infrastructure, Ports & Energy (DIPE) to
provide designated and defined services in support of the Government of Saint Lucia and to the
people of Saint Lucia. The responsibilities of providing such services are not terminated in the
event of a disaster impacting the island of Saint Lucia. Quite to the contrary, the need to provide
such chartered services increase in time of disaster. This is a recognized responsibility by this
Department.
This document provides the necessary guidelines that will inform the DIPE’s response in the event
of a tropical wave, tropical storm and/or hurricane.
Situation:
Under conditions with extensive damage to over 50% of the island’s facilities, the disaster would
be labelled catastrophic, and first responses would be directed at preserving life and the remaining
infrastructure. It is intended that response operations will be executed from the Department’s office
locations with the Union office being the main control centre.
This plan is an internal document for the use of the Department of Infrastructure, Ports & Energy.
It is not for general publication or distribution. If the main centre is destroyed the next location is
at NEMO.

PART II. RESPONSE
2. Concept Of Operations
2.1 Hurricane Response Strategy And Policy
1. Storm response activities are conducted pursuant to the DIPE’s response plan and certain
requirements of NEMO. Operations will be directed from a Disaster Response Centre
(DRC).
2. Storm response consists of seven (7) distinct and mutually supporting phases applicable to
all storm response operations and to all levels of government:
a. Early Warning
b. Coordination and control
c. Evacuation and Care of Citizens during Evacuation
d. Search and Rescue
e. Mass care and Sheltering Operations
f. Rapid Response Immediately after Impact
g. Disaster Area Re-Entry Operations
2.2 Hurricane Response Phases
Early Warning
1. If a storm develops with the potential to affect St Lucia, the DIPE will communicate
with all departments to initiate appropriate action. The DIPE will provide information
on the current situation and proposed preparation activities, as warranted.
2. Public Information dissemination is a critical component of the warning. Many

traditional emergency notification methods are not accessible to or usable by some
people in the special needs population. Warning methods must ensure all citizens
4|Page
receive the information necessary to make sound decisions and take appropriate,
responsible action using a combination of warning methods will be more effective than
relying on one method alone. This will include the use of traditional as well as non-
traditional methods to include social/new media outlets, press releases, and door-to-
door communications if warranted.
3. The DIPE will publish a daily Situation Report as soon as an advisory is issued. The
Situation Reports capture the current threat(s); resources committed or staged, and
mission priorities. The Situation Reports will be available on the DIPE’s website
(under construction) or will be submitted to staff via email or other feasible forms of
communication.
Coordination and Control
1. The size and complexity of response operations require coordination and control
capability that is extensive. During pre-storm operations, the DIPE must be ready to
assemble the resources and personnel to assist in large scale response. The DIPE may
be required to assist local jurisdictions with resources.
2. The hub of the coordination and control system is the DRC. The DRC seeks to maintain
the most current picture of the response effort. Information flows into the DRC from
the impact area and other areas of the country where response resources are located or
response operations are planned or on-going. The information comes from the zonal
staff or from response teams, and/or elected officials. The DRC, in turn, publishes a
daily situation report that summarizes the overall situation, actions taken from the last
report, and the objectives for the next circumstance reporting period.
3. The DRC is also a key coordination and control node for allocating resources in the
impact area. Zones identify resource needs to the DRC which then attempts to locate
the resource at another zone in close proximity. If successful, the DRC coordinates the
transfer of the resource to the requesting zone.
4. Two Disaster Response Centers, DIPE Main Office at Union and DIPE Southern
Office, have been established to support response operations. These centers and sites
function as logistic hubs for resources and in some cases personnel, destined for the
impact area in the aftermath of a storm. In the event of a break in communication sub
DRC central and south will be activated.
Logistics
1. The Administrative Department of DIPE will work with state agencies, local,
government and voluntary agencies, as appropriate, to ensure that distribution systems,
to ensure goods and services can be obtained, stored, secured, and distributed to staff
during a disaster response.
2. The Administrative Department of DIPE will locate, obtain, equip, and operate
distribution points in North, Central and South. These facilities will serve as permanent
storage areas for supplies and materials introduced into disaster areas for response and
recovery operations and distribution to staff.
5|Page
3. Materials and supplies stored in the North, Central and South will remain under the
control of the appointed officers. Similarly, supplies and donations given to or procured
by individual voluntary agencies will remain under the management and control of the
appointed officers.
Emergency Fuel Operations
1. A group of private sector partners from the fuel industry will serve as a Fuel
Coordination Team during activations for a hurricane or other catastrophic disaster.
The Fuel Coordination Team will ensure availability and distribution of fuel during the
emergency event. Team members include representatives from the Petroleum Dealers
Association. The team can allow for non-traditional supply arrangements among
carriers and retailers in order to meet the demand for fuel, while observing safety
considerations. This team will be put together by Administration.
2. Beginning at least five days (H-120) before the onset of tropical storm winds, the staff
will be encouraged to fuel their vehicles to capacity through a series of announcements.
These announcements are intended to stimulate demand for fuel while there is still time
to replenish the fuel system and avoid sudden depletion of fuel during emergency
operations.
3. Incremental fuel storage at identified locations (Union, Dennery, Vieux Fort, and
Soufriere) will be made possible through the deployment of temporary fuel storage
tanks.
4. The Fuel Coordination Team will assess the need for extra equipment to meet shortfalls
and can request waivers as needed. Actions will also be taken to prepare resources for
fuel availability in potentially impacted areas for post-landfall use.
3. Responsibilities Of The Disaster Response Centre
All staff assigned to the DRC is responsible for the following tasks:
a. Identifying staff requirements and maintaining current notification

procedures to ensure appropriate trained agency personnel are available for
extended emergency duty in the DRC, field command posts, traffic control,
and monitoring points as needed.
b. Developing and maintaining procedures to ensure current inventory of

agency resources and contact lists are available.
c. Developing and maintaining procedures for identification, location,

commitment, deployment and accountability of agency emergency support
resources.
d. Providing personnel, equipment and other assistance in support of response

and recovery operations as capable.
6|Page
e. Providing assistance and coordination.
f. Providing situational and operational status reports in accordance with

existing procedures and/or as requested by NEMO.
g. To ensure the safety of disaster response personnel and to provide quick

response in the event of injury.
4. What Triggers A Hurricane/ Storm Response?
