Emergency workers must go through “check-in.” Anticipate - What resources will likely be needed.

Plan for Demobilization.

Planning Considerations Fuel will be limited.

Communicate – communicate – communicate.

Unsafe and unsanitary work environment.

Emergency workers should go through Debrief and Decontamination.

Determine what resources are needed to handle Tropical Storm Ophelia.
