James City County Emergency Operations Plan, Page 1



I. Introduction

A hazard is defined as a natural, technological, or human-caused source or cause of harm or
difficulty. Risk is defined as the potential for an unwanted outcome resulting from an incident or
1occurrence, as determined by its likelihood and the associated consequences . The anticipated
level of threat to public safety and personal property determines the hazard risk. Hazards can
have a cascading consequence starting on a continuum of minimal damage towards catastrophic
damage and loss of life.

One responsibility of local government is public safety and diverting an appropriate level of local
government resources to emergency response when a hazard threatens. James City County
requests the resources of state and federal agencies when local resources diminish or the incident
is of such magnitude that it exceeds local resources. To manage its local responsibility, James
City County has established an emergency management program of preparedness, protection,
response, recovery, and mitigation. James City County Administrator serves as the Director of
Emergency Management; James City County Fire Chief serves as the Coordinator of Emergency
Management and day-to-day operations is managed by the Director of Emergency
2Services/Deputy Coordinator of Emergency Management . They develop response plans; policy
and procedures; training and exercise programs; public outreach programs; maintain an
emergency operations center in a constant state of readiness; and establish regional and state
collaboration strategies for response and recovery.

Purpose:

This Basic Plan describes the legal and organizational responsibility for James City County
government departments, associated agencies, and volunteer organizations to prepare, protect,
respond, recover, and mitigate natural, technological, and human - caused hazards. This Basic
Plan also establishes the foundation for the James City County Emergency Operations Plan
(EOP), which is a compilation of annexes for emergency support functions (ESFs) and hazard
specific annexes. The ESF annexes describe a specific emergency response function and provide
guidance for emergency response actions for James City County government departments and
associated agencies that have emergency response responsibility. This Basic Plan along with
ESF annexes and hazard specific annexes provide a standard for emergency management
training and exercises.

Scope:

The Basic Plan provides an overview of James City County (Situation), describes planning
assumptions, concept of operations, and organizational responsibility. Specific policies and
procedures are attachments to this plan, ESF and Hazard Specific annexes. These documents

For the purpose of this document, the County Administrator/Director of Emergency Management will be identified
as CAO; the Fire Chief/Coordinator of Emergency Management will be identified as Coordinator, and the Director
of Emergency Services/Deputy Coordinator of Emergency Management will be identified as Director E.S.

include maps and charts as appropriate. This Basic Plan and associated documents comply with
the provisions of The Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Laws of
2000, as amended.

The hazard threat and the potential for a cascading event determine activation level of this plan
and the associated ESFs. The CAO, Coordinator, Director of E.S. or their designee can activate
this and associated annexes.

Situation:

James City County’s Comprehensive Plan describes the geography as “… located on a peninsula
approximately 50 miles southeast of Richmond and 40 miles northwest of Norfolk. The County
is bounded by three rivers: the James to the south, the York to the northeast, and the
Chickahominy to the west. Total land area, including inland water, is about 144 square miles, or
approximately 92,400 acres. There are 152 miles of shoreline along the three rivers, containing
about 138 miles of marshlands and 14 miles of beach. Along these shores are both tidal and non-
tidal wetlands.”3

The James City County border is contiguous with the Cities of Newport News and Williamsburg
and the Counties of York and Charles City. The County is part of the greater Hampton Roads
area and one of 16 members of the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC).
The US Office of Management and Budget includes the Hampton Roads area in the Virginia
Beach, Norfolk, Newport News, VA/North Carolina Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).

According to the 2010 US Census, James City County population is 67,009. A complete set of
the 2010 census data is not available at this time; however, in the 2005 – 2009 American
Community Survey (ACS) the population was 60,864. Various sources consider James City
County one of the faster growing communities in Virginia and the differences in these population
figures indicate the growth rate. The ACS data shows the County had 25,133 occupied housing
units with an average household size of 2.36. The median age of the County is 43.6, which is
higher than the national median age of 36.5 years. The ACS identified 18.2 % of population
over 65 with 12.6% nationally, which indicates that James City County has a larger senior
population than most localities. One reason for this growth in the aging population has been the
influx of retirees from the colder regions of the U.S. Northeast.

Approximately, 1,574,801 people live in the HRPDC region. The region’s land area is separated
by several rivers and estuary; however, bridges and tunnels link the communities for cultural and
economic activities. Interstate 64, a major east/west route passes through the northeast quadrant
of James City County. This interstate serves the beach resort areas of North Carolina and
Virginia; international shipping activities located in the region; a number of the region’s military
bases; and commuter movement within the region’s urban area. During a hurricane evacuation
of North Carolina and Virginia, the Virginia Hurricane Evacuation Study estimates 900,000
people will have to leave the region and significant numbers will use Interstate 64.

Among the regional emergency management collaboration efforts is the reciprocal agreement
between James City County and the City of Hampton to open shelters for their residents. James
City County will provide shelter for Hampton residents during a hurricane evacuation and in
turn, the City of Hampton opens shelters for James City County residents in the event of an
incident at Surry.

The County is within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for Surry Nuclear Power
Plant and maintains a hazard specific plan, which is an annex to the EOP. The County
participates along with other local governments in the 10-mile EPZ and State agencies in
required exercises to demonstrate response capabilities.

James City County participated with three other peninsula jurisdictions in developing a regional
hazard mitigation plan. A revision to the 2006 mitigation plan is currently underway. The
mitigation plan provides a detailed description of the hazards and history of James City County
events and establishes goals to mitigate hazards.

The County has vulnerability to flooding, winter storms, and tornadoes. While the County is not
in a hurricane storm surge zone, it can experience the effects of hurricane force winds and
flooding due to extreme rainfall. The County p
