(A) Chart B lists the functions which must be performed or coordinated during an emergency situation. Responsibilities have been assigned by a code letter “P”, “S” or “C”. “P” designates primary operational responsibility, which means the official or agency is in charge of and responsible to make provision for that function. “S” designates support responsibility, which means the agency so assigned will, if possible, support and assist the official or agency designated primarily responsible. “C” designates coordination responsibility and is assigned when several agencies have support capability but no one official or agency has obvious primary responsibility. This will be especially true when non-government agencies are involved. As a general rule, county officials will be primarily responsible for carrying out emergency functions outside city limits and city officials will have the corresponding responsibility within their city limits. Exceptions are organizations such as fire departments, schools and medical facilities whose geographical boundaries do not coincide with corporate limits. Persons or agency assigned code letter “P” are responsible for development of operational procedures for that function. Also, they are responsible for keeping that functional information up-to-date or for its revision.
(B) If any function does not have a person or agency assigned primary responsibility, the assignment of the letter “C” means those persons or agencies shall form a committee for preparation of the information of that function. Also, the Committee is responsible for keeping the functional information up-to-date or for its revision.
