After receiving notification from an observer, the Sherburne County Sheriff's Communications Division (911) shall determine the appropriate emergency level for the specific situation based on the classification as defined in Section IV Emergency Detection, Evaluation, and Classification of this Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Emergency Level 3 merely requires notification of Elk River Municipal Utilities. Emergency Levels 1 and 2 require notification of a broad range of departments, officials, and Emergency Level 1 also requires evacuation of downstream residents. Parties on the notification flowchart shall be contacted by phone or, if necessary, in person. Radio communication is available between the power plant, the Street Department, and the Sheriffs Office. When notifying the parties for whom they are responsible, each caller should inform them of the emergency level that has been activated, explain the exact conditions, and—if applicable—refer the party to the EAP for their responsibilities. Downstream residents who are notified should be informed that an emergency situation now exists, and that evacuation is necessary. Contact information for the parties in Table 1 can be found in Appendix F. Table 1. Notification List for Emergency Levels 1 and 2 Caller To Be Notified Phone Observer 1.
