The Town of Southern Shores Emergency Operations Plan has been developed to address the specific
hazard of hurricanes which threaten Dare County and the municipality of Southern Shores. The basic
plan, however, may be applied as well to any hazard which may threaten the Town of Southern
Shores.
The basic plan serves as a summary document to sixteen functional sections in coordination with the
Dare County Emergency Operations Plan. These sections define who will do what, when and where
if emergency/disaster threatens. Supporting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS), as prepared
internally by each agency, are necessary to address how each agency will perform its assigned duties
during an emergency/disaster situation. Defining the roles of each response agency reduces the
confusion, chaos and conflict during an emergency/disaster; and significantly decreases vulnerability
of the public and their property to hazardous threats.
The Town of Southern Shores recognizes Dare County as the lead agency in all emergency
management activities within the county and subject to coordination by the county. In addition, The
Town of Southern Shores recognizes its authority to establish and maintain a municipal emergency
management agency for the purposes contained in G.S. 166A-2.
This plan, then, defines which agencies are responsible for fulfilling the legal responsibilities identified
in North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 166-A. It provides all the necessary elements to insure
that the municipality can fulfill its legal responsibilities for emergency preparedness. All agencies
tasked under this plan contributed to the development of this plan.

and loss of life. The Town of Southern Shores must assume that:
a. Not all residents/visitors will evacuate despite warnings.
b. Roads will be impassable; power, water and phone service will be
disrupted, eliminating contact with and assistance from personnel
outside of Southern Shores for up to twenty-four hours after the
storm has made landfall.

as a shelter of last resort, this shelter could fill to capacity since it is
the only shelter for the outer beaches.
e. All requests for assistance from within the Town, whether emergency,
urgent, or necessary in decreasing priority, must be responded to by
resources within the town which may require the need for law
enforcement, fire suppression, rescue, ,medical assistance, structural
repair, assistance, etc.

an emergency or disaster and they have acknowledged their responsibilities in the
execution of this plan and will fulfill these responsibilities as needed.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. As required by General Statute 166A-2, it is the responsibility of County government
to organize and plan for the protection of life and property from the effects of
emergency/disaster. However, according to General Statute 166A-7, all incorporated
municipalities are authorized to establish and maintain emergency management
agencies, subject to coordination by the county; to direct and coordinate the
development of emergency management plans and programs; and to delegate powers
in a local state of emergency under G.S. 166A-8 to an appropriate official.
.. ,

B. In multi- urisdictional emergencies/disasters, direction and control will be managed
by the Dare County Control Group, of which the Mayor of the Town of Southern
Shores is a member. The Mayor or his designee will, however, be responsible for the
delegation of power. in Southern Shores while in a local state of emergency.
Coordination with the other members of the Dare County Control Group will be
maintained as needed. In a local state of emergency the Mayor and Town Council
members serve as the Town Control Group (TCG) while the Town Manager heads
the Souther Shores Emergency Response Team (SSERT).
C. The Administrative Emergency Operations Center (AEOC) will be staffed and
operated as the situation dictates. When activated, operations are supported by the
Town Manager, paid employees, contracted services, and volunteers, known as the
SSERT. The function of the SSERT is to provide information, data and
recommendations to the Mayor, Town Council members, and Town Manager, and
implement their decisions.
D. When an emergency situation develops, the Mayor or his designee may declare that
a State of Emergency (as defined in G.S. 14-288.1) exists within the jurisdiction (or
a part thereof) and begin implementing emergency procedures. (See Authorizations
and Authorities, Section C)
E. Termination of a State of Emergency shall be declared by the authority of whom it
0 was proclaimed. (See Authorizations and Authorities, Section C)
F. The Mayor or designee, assisted by the Town Manager, will coordinate and control
Town resources and coordinate with the County on needs or progress.
G. Agency Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) are essential in support of the plan.
H. Emergency information will be disseminated through established media channels by
the Mayor or designee.
I. Initially, emergency operations will be conducted utilizing local personnel, equipment,
and facilities. Contact will be established with the Dare County EOC for sharing of
information and the procurement of County, State or Federal resources should that
become necessary.
Planning and training are necessary as integral parts of emergency and disaster
preparation and must be prerequisites of effective emergency operations.
K. Department/Agency heads identified as having emergency responsibilities under this
plan are shown in the appropriate standard operating procedures and Disaster
Organization Chart, Town of Southern Shores.

EVACUATION/REENTRY
SECTION I
I. PURPOSE
This section provides for coordinated evacuation and reentry of the County/Town
population when necessary during emergencies.
II. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A. Situation
1. The evacuation route from Southern Shores to inland counties is
Highway 158 which necessitates crossing a two lane bridge. Efforts
are being made to identify special evacuation problems.
2. Due to the geographical nature of the Town of Southern Shores
and Dare County (land masses joined by bridges), combined with the
forces of wind and water, there is significant potential for large
Opopulations of people to become isolated.
3. Southern Shores emergency service personnel have participated in
several emergency evacuations in recent years, thus gaining experience
in evacuation and reentry procedures.
4. There are no Red Cross hurricane approved shelters in Dare
County, thus necessitating evacuation from the County during
hurricane threats.
5. Evacuation from the Currituck beaches necessitates travel through
Southern Shores.
B. Assumptions
1. Emergency situations may require evacuation of all or part of
Southern Shores. Small-scale, localized evacuations may be needed as

evacuation situation.
12. Evacuation from Southern Shores and the remainder of Dare
County will affect adjacent counties as well as counties further inland.
13. No significant change has occurred that would affect the validity
of the 1987 hurricane evacuation study.
14. The use of Dare County reentry permit procedure will facilitate an
orderly reentry into previously evacuated areas.
III. OPERATIONS FOR EVACUATION
A. General
1. The responsibility for ordering a county -wide evacuation or reentry
rests with the Dare County Control Group. If the Town of Southern
I.2

Shores is to be evacuated, the Mayor will issue the order. If the
evacuation or reentry involves more than one jurisdiction, or an area
outside of the Town of Southern Shores, the order will be. issued on
a County level by the Chairman of the Dare County Control Group,
or his/her designated representative.
2. The incident commander at the scene of an isolated emergency in
Southern Shores has the authority to order an evacuation.
3. Law Enforcement will implement traffic control for evacuation and
for reentry.

Individuals).
a. The AEOC, Southern Shores Vol. Fire Department,
Dare County Social Services and the Red Cross will
identify special needs persons in Southern Shores.
RE-ENTRY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
I. POLICY
Following a disaster when evacuation for Southern Shores has occurred, road blocks
(control points) will be established restricting reentry into Southern Shores until such
Qtime as it has been determined by the Mayor or designee, in conjunction with Town
Control Group representatives, that re-entry is safe. The essential criteria for safety
in allowing reentry are:
A. The provision of minimum access on primary roads.
B. Reestablishment of emergency services (police, fire, rescue, and medical facilities).
C. Removing of utility hazards.
II. ASSUMPTIONS
That a disaster of significant proportions would initiate evacuation of Southern Shores
and all or parts of Dare County.
A. That food, water and shelter are not immediately available.
B. That debris will restrict movement along primary and/or secondary road systems.
C. That electrical power will not be available.
I.4

D. That local emergency and public communications will be unavailable or
significantly reduced.
E. That health services, medical facilities and medical transport will not be available.
F. That law enforcement, fire and rescue service will be greatly hampered.
III. OBJECTIVES
A. The primary objective of post -storm reentry management is to identify immediate
needs of the disaster area and once identified, provide a systematic return to Southern
Shores of human and material resources that will prevent loss of life and stabilize
infrastructure so as to start an emergency assessment/recovery process.
B. The secondary objective of post -storm reentry management is to provide a
network of management systems with the ability to control and coordinate emergency
operations within Southern Shores and with other assisting Agencies, both within and
outside the County.
IV. REENTRY PROCEDURE
There is an absolute need to provide access by clearing debris from primary roadways,
0 to reestablish emergency police, fire, rescue and medical services, remove and secure
utility hazards while establishing a minimum of capabilities, and to assess damage in
order to manage an effective response. There is also a recognized need for emergency
protection measures. Additionally many outside services will be needed and outside
interests will desire access. This reentry plan identifies a phased reentry process that
allows for emergency personnel and road clearing personnel first, disaster and utility
officials second, restricted access to residents third, non-resident property owners
fourth, and unrestricted access fifth.
A. Upon cancellation of all hurricane warnings and watches which include Southern
Shores and when no major damage has been experienced, the Dare_ County Control
Group chairman will authorize reentry to evacuated areas.
1. The Mayor will receive assessments from the AEOC to determine
extent of damage.
2. Department of Transportation officials and Southern Shores Town
Engineer will assure that primary and secondary streets and roads are
open and bridges are without damage.

of possible life/safety problems.
5. Public information announcements will be made as decisions
warrant.
B. Upon cancellation of all hurricane watches and warnings which include Southern
Shores and when significant damage has been noted to affect only Southern Shores,
then the Mayor will assume authority for his/her municipality.
1. Restricted reentry to the damaged area will be at the discretion of
the controlling authority.
2. Public information announcements will be made by the Mayor,
Town Manager, or designee. The town may release the information
through the Dare County Public Information Officer.
3. All requests for assistance beyond the capabilities of the Town
should be channeled through the Dare County Emergency
Management Director.
V. Upon cancellation of all hurricane warnings and watches which include Southern
Shores and when significant damage to more than one municipality has occurred, then
decisions on reentry will be that of the Control Group Chairman in cooperation with
the Control Group members.
A. Damage to more than one municipality may greatly affect reentry into surrounding
municipalities or Dare County area.
B. Collective decisions by the County Control Group will be necessary to
control/assist needs of the affected area.
C. Public information announcements will keep recovery crews, residents and the
public informed as to the progress of debris clearance and projected times for phased
