                             dated June, 1974.

                   III. Purpose and Scope:

                         A.  Purpose - This Plan has been developed to provide for an orderly
                             and coordinated evacuation to minimize the effects of hurricanes
                             on residents and visitors in Pender County.   The Plan provides
                             for the alerting of selected officials, the evacuation of the public
                             from danger areas and designation of shelters for evacuees. ' It
                             also provides for reentry into evacuated areas when the threat to
                             persons is ended.

                         B.  Scope - This Plan is designed for use in hurricane situations.
                             This Plan constitutes annex 0 to the Pender County Disaster

                    IV. Organization:

                         A.  Hurricane evacuation involves both areas under county jurisdiction
                             and municipal jurisdiction.  As joint action is required of county
                             and municipal governments, a joint organization for decision making
                             and use of resources is needed.   For these purposes, a Control
                             Group and a Support Group are hereby established.

                         B. Control Group

                                 deemed necessary due to the situation.

                             2. Composition

                                     Burgaw
                                     Atkinson

                                 succeeded by alternates who will have the responsibility and
                                 authority of the primary member (See Attachment 1).

                         C. Support Group

                                 operations; and, to provide information, data, and recommendations
                                 to the Control Group.

                             2.  Composition

                                 j.  State Highway Patrol Liaison Officer
                                 k.  Red Cross Liaison Officer

                         D.  The Control and Support Groups will be co-located in the Pender

                                                    2

                             In the event it becomes necessary to move the groups to an alternate
                             EOC location, the new location will be announced.

                         FIRST ALTERNATE   Commissioners' Room, Burgaw, Administration Building.
                         SECOND ALTERNATE   Pender County Facility Building.

                     V.  Concept of Operations:

                             The concept for hurricane evacuation in Pender County calls for:

                         A.  Early alerting of officials and concerned agencies in the entire
                             county.

                         B.  Overall direction and decision making by the Control Group.

                         C.  Increased readiness actions taken progressively as the hurricane
                             approaches and as the threat of injury and damage increases.

                         D.  Evacuation of residents and visitors on beaches and in threatened
                             low-lying areas upon decision of the Control Group.

                         E.  Movement of evacuees out of the county or if necessary to designated
                             and operating public shelters. Primary shelters will normally be
                             open first and secondary shelters will be opened only if necessary
                             and required. (See paragraph VIII of this Plan).

                         F.  Mass care for evacuees in predesignated shelters in accordance with
                             agreements.

                         G.  Reentry of evacuees to evacuated areas when authorized by the Control
                             Group and when the hurricane threat has passed or damage assessments
                             indicate that reentry is feasible.

                         H.  Local governments request State and/or Federal assistance, as necessary
                             through the State EOC or if the State Emergency Response Team (SERT)
                             is activated as directed by SERT.

                         I.  The submission of damage assessment reports within 48 hours of the
                             passing of the hurricane, (See annex F of the Pender County Disaster
                             Relief and Assistance Plan) to State EOC or to the SERT if it is
                             activated, as directed.

                         J.  When SERT is established (to the satisfaction of the SERT Operations
                             Officer), the State will assume responsibility for directing State
                             agency participation in emergency operations and coordinating actions
                             involving both State and local agencies. The exact time at which
                             the State will assume direction and control is when SERT dispatches
                             a message to each county concerned, the State EOC, and the State
                             Warning Point. This message will state that:

                                                     3

                              1.  Option A - At the request of the county or counties concerned,
                                  SERT has been established and assumes direction and control
                                  authority effective at the specified date and time, or;

                              2.  Option B - A State of Disaster or Emergency has been declared,
                                  the SERT has been established and assumes direction and
                                  control authority effective at the specified date and time.

                              3.  NOTE: When a State of Disaster or Emergency is declared by the
                                  Governor, the State has the authority to assume responsibility for
                                  Directing and conducting emergency operations. This is not
                                  meant to negate local governments' continuing responsibility
                                  to protect the people prior to the arrival and establishment
                                  of SERT as described above.

                    VI. Warning and Alert Systems:

                               The system for dissemination of hurricane watches and warnings and
                          for notification of departments and populace that the evacuation plan
                          will be executed, is shown as a flow chart. (See Attachment 2).

                   VII. Increased Readiness Action Checklist: (See Attachment 3 - Checklist,
                          and Attachment 4   Condition/Action Flow Chart).

                          A.  The following increased readiness conditions are established:

                              Condition 5                       Hurricane Season (June 1 -
                                                                   November 30)
                              Condition 4                       Alert - Hurricane Advisory
                              Condition 3                       Hurricane Watch or approximately
                                                                   36 to 48 hours to forecasted
                                                                   landfall
                              Condition 2                       Hurricane Warning or approximately
                                                                   18 to 24 hours to forecasted
                                                                   landfall
                              Condition 1                       24 Hours or less to forecasted
                                                                   landfall
                              Condition 0                       Landfall
                              Reentry                           Threat removed or damage assessment
                                                                   allows

                          B. The Control Group will declare the condition after coordination with
                              the National Weather Service. The Support Group will implement
                              actions for each condition when announced.

                              NOTE: In the eventuality of a pre-season hurricane, it may be
                                     necessary to first institute a condition of readiness
                                     other than Condition 5. Under peculiar circumstances it

                                     may be necessary to skip a condition and go directly into
                                     a more advanced condition,  This means that all of the
                                     actions required in the declared condition must be completed
                                     in the available time.  The increased readiness conditions
                                     as stated above should remain standard, but the timing of
                                     the required actions may vary depending on the situation
                                     involved.

                                  Readiness Condition Checklist) the populace of the county will be
                                  advised to evacuate all barrier islands and low-lying areas of the
                                  mainland and move well inland emphasizing that shelter space in
                                  in the county is limited. (See Attachment 6)

                                  shelters are opened only after it becomes apparent that the
                                  primary shelters will not accommodate the number Qf persons
                                  requiring shelter.

                             4.   Manning of the primary shelters (and the secondary shelters
                                  if it becomes necessary - if needed) is the responsibility

                                          FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST

                         Gordon Jones, Chairman of the Pender County Board of Commissioners,

                     has announced that due to the approach of Hurricane

                     evacuation is being recommended for the barrier islands and low-lying

                     areas of Pender County, effective immediately. The areas which are in

                     particular danger are all of Topsail Island (including Surf City,

                     Topsail Beach and Del Mar Beach) and low-lying areas adjacent to the

                     Intracoastal Waterway. Persons in these areas should immediately evacuate

                     and move well inland.   Shelters are being established at the following

                     school locations:    1. -Topsail High School

                                          2. -Topsail.Elementary School

                                          7.

                     The shelters are being opened with the assistance of the American Red

                     Cross and will provide shelter and food.

                          The chairman pointed out that although the shelters are being opened,

                     space is extremely limited and a visit with friends or relatives, or

                     -.staying in a motel or hotel well inland would be a good idea. Fast Food

                     restaurants and gas stations in the area have been requested to remain open

                     as long as possible to provide service to those individuals who plan to

                     evacuate. Also, he said that pets, firearms, and alcoholic beverages will

                           Jerry D. Randall, Emergency Management Coordinator for Pender County,

                      said that all persons coming to the shelters should bring bedding, special

                      medicines and foods, including foods for babies, and flashlights.

                      NOTE: RADIO AND TELEVISION STATIONS PLEASE REPEAT AT 15 MINUTES INTERVALS.

                          GENERAL - Shown below is the procedure to be followed and factors to
                          be considered when preparing recommendations or making decisions
                          regarding hurricane evacuation and will be used with Tab D (Evacua-
                          tion Decision Worksheet).

                          PROCEDURE - Pender County, in conjunction with the State Division
                          of Emergency Management, will follow the procedure shown below in
                          order to determine the need for evacuation of Topsail Island and
                          other low-lying areas of the county.

                          A.   Obtain the estimated point of and time of landfall and category
                               of the storm by contacting the National Weather Service. If
                               this point crosses or comes within 100 miles of the North Carolina
                               coast take the following action. Complete items 1 and 2 on
                               Tab D.

                          B.   Determine the threatened coastal area; this is the area defined
                               in the advisory as being under either a hurricane watch or
                               hurricane warning. Complete item 3 of Tab D.

                          C.   Go to Tab A - Pender County Hurricane Evacuation Time Study and
                               using the area defined in B. above, identify the maximum total
                               two-way evacuation time within the defined area. Add three (3)
                               hours to this time if evacuation will take place during hours of
                               darkness.  If the storm is Category 5, add an additional hour.
                               See Tab B - Saffir/Simpson Scale.   Place this total figure in
                               item 4 of Tab D.

                          D.   Compute the number of hours until predicted landfall using the
                               information   tained in A above. Subtract four (4) hours to
                               allow for forecast uncertainty. Place this total figure in
                               item 5, Tab D.

                          E.   Determine if evacuation can be carried out safely by comparing
                               the adjusted time until predicted landfall (D above) with the time
                               required for evacuation (C above). Check yes or no on item 6
                               on Tab D.

                          F.   Using the number of hours to predicted landfall (D above) refer
                               to the Table 1, Column 1, and select the forecast period closest
                               to, but greater than, the number of hours to landfall. Check
                               yes or no on items 7a and 7b of Tab D.

                                                       7-1

                         G. Complete items 8 through 11 on Tab D.

                          H.  Any decision to recommend or order evacuation must to made before
                              the time until landfall is less than the time required for
                              evacuation, otherwise the evacuees will not have time to clear
                              the hazard area prior to the arrival of gale force winds or the
                              evacuation routes become impassible.

                          I.  SUBSEQUENT PROBABILITIES. The actions taken and factors considered
                              above should be repeated each time the National Weather Service
                              issues an advisory containing storm probabilities for landfall.

                                TAB A - PENDER COUNTY EVACUATION TIME STUDY

                     I   The information shown in the table below was provided by the Planning
                         and Research Branch of the Division of Highways, North Carolina
                         Department of Transportation.    The times shown represent the time
                         required after warning has been received. Total evacuation time is
                         shown for one way (both lanes used to evacuate) and two way (one lane
                         used for evacuation) traffic. The times shown are for the
                         evacuation of the barrier islands only.

                         A. The components of total evacuation time are defined as follows:

                              1.  Mobilization Time - time required for preparation to begin
                                  evacuation.

                              2.  Travel Time - time required to clear the barrier islands not
                                  including queuing delay time (bottle necks).

                              3.  Queuing Delay Time - delay time created when traffic demand
                                  exceeds the capacity of the evacuation route.

                              4.  Hazards Time - the time difference between the arrival of
                                  gale force winds, heavy rain and flooding, and the time when
                                  the eye of the hurricane arrives.

                         B.   Some of the more important assumptions used in compiling this
                              information are as follows:

                              1. Average auto occupancy is 2.5 persons per vehicle.

                              2.  Twenty percent of the evacuees leave before the order is given.

                              3.  Manned traffic control points have been established.

                              4.  Contraflow traffic is negligible compared to evacuation traffic.

    40                        5.  Peak population estimates were used in making the evacuation
                                  time estimates.

                              6.  The approach of a category 4 storm was hypothesized.

                              7.  Evacuation is assumed to occur during daylight hours.

               1.    Probabilities of hurricane conditions are now included in public tropical
               storm and hurricane advisories issued by the National Weather Service. The proba-
               bilities are-to assist officials who must make critical evacuation decisions hours
               before a hurricane warning can be issued. The probabilities will also be of value
               to coastal and offshore industries.

               11.   The probabilities describe in percentages the chance that a storm's center
               will pass within about 65 miles of 44 selected locations from Brownsville, Texas to
               Eastport Maine.    In North Carolina and neighboring s ta tes...probab il i ties are
               issued for Myrtle Beacli..Wilmington..Morehead City..Cape Hatteras..and Norfolk.

               111. During a hurricane ... or tropical storm..the probabilities will be included in
               the advisories issued by the National Hurricane Center in Miami as early as 72
               hours before a storm is forecasted to make landfall.

               IV.   The hur-ricane probabilities should not be compared with rainfall probabili-
               ties which can approach 100 percent. Hurricane probabilities will not be more than
               about 10 percent at 72 hours..13 to 18 percent at 48 hours ... and 20 to 25 percent
               at 36 hours before forecasted landfall. The numbers will increase rapidly to 35 to
               40 percent about 24 hours before landfall and to 60 to 70 percent about 12 hours
               before landfall.

               V.    In assessing ones risk ... coastal residents should compare the probability
               figure for their location with those of neighboring locations. Those areas with
               higher probabilities are under a greater threat from an advancing hurricane.

               VI.   In addition...coastal residents should be aware of increasing. probabilities.
               Locations with increasing probabilities are at a greater risk than locations with
               stable or decreasing probabilities.
