CMEMP
The Carbon Valley Emergency Management Advisory Board is pleased to endorse the 2023 update of the Multi -
Jurisdictional Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CVCEMP). The CVCEMP is a group of plans
that addresses all phases of emergency management, helping our local governmental agencies to coordinate
activities in prevention, prepareclnessresponse, recovery, and mitigation related to disasters and large-sca e
emergencies that may affect the Carbon Valley communities.
The Carbon Valley Emergency operations Plan (EOP), hereinj is the centerpiece of the CVCEMP. it describes the most
active and visible phases of disaster — response and initial recovery. This plan describes how first responder agencies
and municipal governments will organize and coordinate their actions and provides a framework for cooperation.
Every three (3) years this plan is approved and adopted by the sponsoring agencies that form the Carbon Valley
Emergency Management Agency: Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District, City of Dacono, Town of Firestonej and
Town of Frederick,
The 2o23 Carbon Valley Emergency Operations Plan has been revised to meet current needs in several areas. First,
the community profiles for each municipality were updated to reflect changes and growth in our communities. The
hazard profile was also updated in consideration of recent disasters in surrounding communities and to incorporate
information from the Community Risk and Preparedness Assessment that was completed in February 2022. Finally,
the annexes to the EOP were consolidated to a total of fifteen (15) operational and functional annexes to better align
with the structure, roles, and responsibilities in local supporting agenciesThe plan:
• Improves local agencies' efforts to coordinate, collaborate, and support each other as recommended in the National
Response Framework,
• Establishes the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS) as foundational
principles of the Carbon Valley's emergency response.
• Aligns with Weld County and State of Colorado Emergency Operations Plans and is designed to be implemented
alone or in unison with those plans.
• Is consistent with current best practices in emergency management, as outlined in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster and
Emergency Assistance Act.
• Provides a framework for local agencies to consider the needs of everyone in the community, including those who
have a disability or may need accommodations to access resources or function effectively during a disaster or
emergency.
The sponsoring agencies of the Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency are committed to protecting the
safety and welfare of all residents of the Carbon Valley community, and strive to remain inclusive in our planning,
response, and recovery efforts. All recipients are asked to advise the Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency
of any changes that may result in its improvement or increase its usefulness. Together, we will be ready when the
next disaster strikes.

Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergenc .y Management Plan CVCEMP
=�Z
For many years, Carbon Valley first responder agencies have worked together to perform
emergency management functions in a coordinated manner. In November 2018, the three
police departments and two fire districts that serve the Carbon Valley signed an Inter -
Governmental Agreement, forming the Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency. in
April 2019, the first full-time Emergency Management Coordinator was hired to build and
maintain a comprehensive emergency management program for the Carbon Valley.
This EOP is designed to be flexible, adaptable, and scalable. It provides a framework fo
coordinated response and initial recovery activities during a large-scale emergency or
disaster. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other internal policies, plans, and
procedures, such as function -specific annexes, operational annexes, and standard
operating procedures or guidelines. The EOP stands as Part 3: the response phase of th
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CVCEMP). An ou•
CVCEMP can be found in Appendix f. This plan describes how various agencies and
organizations in the Carbon Valley will coordinate response activities with our Federal,
State, local, and private -sector partners,
The Carbon Valley EOP describes the basis for emergency operations� including then

concept of operationsi organization, and assignment of responsibilities during a large-scale
emergency response. This portion of the plan is also known as the •r plan." It is
accompanied by other plans and annexes, organized by functions and procedures. A
detailed table of contents is included.
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1 CVCEMP
OEM
Carbon Valley ComprehensIve Emergency Management Plan CVCEMP
• Maintaining Health- Individuals who require specific medications, supplies, services�
durable medical equipment, electricity for life -maintaining equipment, breastfeeding,
and infant/chilcicareon, etc.
• Independence: Individuals who function independently with assistance from mobility
devices or assistive technology, vision and communication aids, service animals, etc.
• Support, Safety, and Supervision: Some individuals may become separated from
their caregivers and need additional personal care assistance, experience higher
levels of distress and need support for anxiety, psychological, or behavioral health
needs; or require a trauma -informed approach or support for personal safety.
• Transportatiom Individual lack access to personal transportation, are unable to drive
due to decreased or impaired mobility that may come with age, disability temporary
conditions, injury, or legal restriction.
CVEMA strives to use inclusive practices in all these functional areas and whenever
possible during all phases of emergency management.
This plan covers the response to and the short-term recovery from a range of hazards tha
could occur in the Carbon Valley. Disasters can be natural events, such as floods,
tornadoes, and blizzards, and human -caused events, such as hazardous materials inciden
and violent criminal actions. Regardless of the type of disaster, the priorities are always tio
• Save lives.
• Protect health and safety.
• Protect property.
• Preserve the environment.
• Minimize economic impacts.
Emergencies can quickly escalate into disasters requiring resources that are hot usually
available within individual agencies and standard mutual aid practices. The EOP will be
activated when any event begins to overwhelm normal resources and requires the
assistance of the Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency to coordinate resources,
assist with information management, or support consequence management for
participating agencies.
Below are the assumptions of effective emergency management planning in the Carbon
Valley:
All incidents are best managed at the lowest possible local level and will always
begin and end locally. Therefore, the Carbon Valley should strive for the maximum
level of self-sufficiency possible and not rely solely upon outside assistance for
prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation capabilities,
I
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan CMEMP
A key to responding to disasters that affect the Carbon Valley area is understanding the
natural and human -caused hazards that pose a risk to our communities and understandin
how they can affect our communities. Any such incident has the potential to disrupt the
community, cause destruction of property, and cause injury and death to community
members. The information in this section is taken from the Weld County Multi -Jurisdiction
Hazard Mitigation Plan, a plan that Carbon Valley municipalities routinely participate in
developing and adopt when it is updated. The information here provides a summary of
hazards specific to Weld County and the Carbon Valley.
The Carbon Valley Communities participated in the 2021 update of the Weld County Multi -
jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). Each municipality updated its commun ty
profile and developed mitigation actions to include in the plan, These section of the Weld
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan CVCEMP
County HMP for the City of Dacono, the Town of Firestone, and the Town of Frederick
compose Part V- Mitigation of the Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan.
The Carbon Valley is vulnerable to a wide range of natural and human -caused hazards that
threaten life and property. The hazards identified by the EOP Planning Team to be of
actual potential threat are:
Severe Storm Hazardous Materials Active Threat: Hostile Intruder
Release Workplace Violence, Vehicle Attack

A complete Community Resilience and Preparedness Assessment (CRPA) was developed 111
W22. The CRPA covers Part / Prevention and Protection of the,Carbon Valley
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and is the primary document used to
evaluate and measure improvement in 12 (of the FEMA 32) initial core capabilities. Each
vear additional core capabilities may be added to the analysis as the CVEMA program
grows. The CRPA is to be updated every three (3) years.
The hazard identification and risk assessment data, as well as the social vulnerability
analysis in each of the following community profiles is taken from the Z021 Weld County
Multi -jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (WCHMP). This plan is updated every five (5)
years, and as such, this section should be updated following the adoption of the next
WCHMP.
The Carbon Valley community is about 10 miles north of the northern suburbs of Denver,
with Dacono as the southernmost municipality on the south side of State Highway 52.
Frederick is on the north side of State Highway 52, generally in the "middle" of the Carb
Valley community, including areas west of 1-25, and Firestone is on the north, extended
past Firestone Blvd all the way to State Highway 66 * All three municipalities have
expanded their boundaries in recent years, and all are challenged with meeting the
Carbon Valley ComprehensIve Emergency Management Plan I CIACEMP
demands for water and infrastructure associated with current and projected population
growth.

Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan C14CEMP
Direction, Control and Coordination
The incident Commander or Incident Command Post (ICP) will coordinate with the—EOC
Manager or Emergency Operations Center (EOC) through Section leads and their
counterparts at the ICP or on -scene. For example, the law enforcement personnel in the
EOC will make contact with and receive updates from his or her counterpart at the ICP or
o,*-scene of the incident.
The ICP coordinates activities at the scene of the incident. Incident Command Posts should
be located close enough to allow the incident commander (IC) to observe operations, but
far enough away to provide safety and shelter from the noise and confusion that
accompanies normal operations, For those incidents where a field ICP is not feasible or
desired, a joint ICP/LOC may be formed.
Emergency Operations Center
The EOC acts in support of the 1CP or multiple ICPs during a large event, as well as the
community at large. The EOC processes and fulfills requests for resources and information,
provides situational awareness and facilitates policy direction. The EOC is also responsible
for managing and coordinating the consequences of an incident, whether planned or
spontaneous (consequence management), so that first responders can focus on tactical aai,
strategic necessities of the incident, The Carbon Valley EOC staff is comprised of
departmental and agency staff from the partner agencies, staff from community support
organizations, and other subject matter experts. This group is known collectively as the
Carbon Valley Emergency Management Coordination Group (CVEMCG). This group meets
monthly to train and exercise together.
All Incident Response and EOC personnel work cooperatively and in support of the whole
community in the Carbon Valley. The agencies and facilities locally are part of a larger
multiagency coordination system. The components of this system include disaster
facilities, equipment, other EOCs, dispatch centers, communications systems, other speclfl
types of agencies (the National Weather Service, hospitals, national guard, for example),
and private sector organizations.
Joint Information Center (11Q or Joint Information .ystem (JIS)
The coordination of information, both internal and to the public, as well as media
interaction is critical during an emergency or disaster incident. A JIC is a physical locatio
where such coordination can take place. Here messages are coordinated, and informatio
is shared between agencies and with the media. The same function may take place
virtually, in a joint Information System (JIS), with established processes agreed upon by al
participating agencies. In this case, it is not a physical location, but still a system that
performs the same functions as in a JIC.
09H
I
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan CVCEMP
Information sharing is a critical component during a disaster. Intelligence information is
that which may be sensitive, related to criminal activity or terrorism, or for any reason has
a limited audience. When an incident requires the management of intelligence information.,
the EOC will staff an Intelligence officer position, to ensure there is a point of contact and
distribution mechanism for sharing intelligence appropriately.
Communications Sjlstems
During a disaster, many different communications systems will be used, many of which are
not directly in the control of Carbon Valley agencies. Further information is found in the
Public Notification and Warning annex to this plan.
• Radios: 700/800 MHZ and VHF radios will be used. The choice between 700/800
MHZ and VHF is a tactical decision made at the ICP based on which system
functions the best for that incident. Channels and frequencies will be chosen based
upon the incident and responding jurisdictions.
• Landlines or VOIP phones, cell phones. Phones are used routinely to communicate
both in the field and in the EOC.
• Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES)- ARES is used as a backup
communication system both in the field and in the EOC
• An email list of personnel included in the Carbon Valley Emergency Management
Coordination Group will be maintained by the Emergency Management Coordinator.
• Ready0p: The Carbon Valley Emergency Management Coordinator has access to the
Ready0p database which provides contacts for EOC and local first responder
personnel.
Z=�
All incidents are organized using the incident Command System (ICS). ICS allows users to
adopt a flexible, integrated organizational structure that meets the needs of a single
dent or, multiple incidents being managed together or separately. An dent will
almost always start in the field and an Incident Command will be established. As the
i
incident expands, and resource, information or consequence management needs expand,
the EOC will open to provide support to the incident and the community.
zmsii« •
ICS will be established by the first arriving units in the field. An Incident Commander
takes charge of the scene and assigns positions within the ICS as the incident
evolves. Until these functions are assigned, they are the direct responsibility of the
incident commander. The basic ICS Command and General Staff functions are as

Many incidents can be managed in the field, however complex incidents may require
additional support and coordination capabty that the EOC can provide. Complexity
may be due to multiple dent locations, large geographic area involvement,
extreme damage or many people affected, and incidents that may involve terrorism
or criminal elements.
RNNN��
The EOC is organized in a modified Incident Command Structure, using sections
that are organized by function. Each function has specific roles and responsibilities
during an incident. The EOC Organization is as follows:
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan I CVCEMP
Large incidents may also require activation of the Polity Group, which consists of elected
and appointed officials for the affected jurisdittions and may also include legal counsel.
The Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency Advisory Board will determine policy
group formation and organization, depending on the needs of the incident.
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergenc .y Management Plan I CVCEMP
'x=
'♦ Group
The purpose of the policy group is to provide policy guidance to the EOC and Incident
Command, Elected and appointed officials play a critical role in fiscal decision -making a
priorities during disaster response and recovery. Response and recovery efforts that fall
outside the purview of the Incident Command staff may require involvement and
coordination with elected officials. In addition, elected officials provide a link to county,
state and federal government partners and can help navigate requests for additional
resources and guidance on policy matters. The Carbon Valley Policy Group consists of
Town and City Managers, Town Trustees and City Council members, Public Safety Chiefs,
and others who may be included from jurisdictions having authority to make the best
possible decisions for the community. I
Individually, each municipality's policy making body has the ultimate authority for its
jurisdiction. Public Safety Chiefs and the Emergency Management Coordinator can provide
advice and technical support as appropriate, on the use of local resources during an
emergency or disaster, The policy group of the agency(ies) having jurisdiction may have
the following responsibilities:
• Direction of the overall preparedness and emergency operations plan and assurance
that the emergency plans remain current and updated.
• Coordination and direction of local government activities in support of emergency or
• Issuance of directives to government departments and personnel regarding changes in
normal duties, work schedules, temporary reassignments, and employment of
temporary workers, or acquisition of temporary facilities or resources, as needed.
• Approval and commitment of resources and funds for disaster or emergency purposes.
• Issuance of official orders reqarding protection of the public or social restrictions, such
as evacuations, entry or no entry orders, establishment of curfews, and other security
controls.
• Issuance of controls to support economic stabilizationj and other local controls as
provided by the Colorado Disaster Act.
• Issuance of formal requests to Weld County or the Governor's Office, through the
Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Legal Counsel
Each agency retains its own legal counsel. These attorneys are responsible for reviewing
activities during a disaster or emergency and providing assistance and counsel to elected
officials, town and city managers, and department heads before, during, and after disaster
and emergency incidents in the Carbon Valley.
Carbon Valley Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan CIACEMP
• Review and assistance with preparation of legal documents including disaster
declarations, curfews, price controls, or other official directives issued in a disaster or
