4. A uniform and baseline CONOPS allows Cabarrus County to establish a standardized <br />approach within shelter planning and operations efforts that enable the usage of the most <br />capable shelter facilities, reduce duplication of efforts or the over -use of limited <br />resources, and increase operational efficiency. <br />5. Cabarrus County Emergency Management and the American Red Cross have identified <br />and surveyed potential shelters in the County and have determined which would be <br />appropriate to use during emergency situations. <br />6. The population of Cabarrus County contains individuals and groups with functional <br />needs that will require individual or special assistance during emergency situations. <br />Shelter and mass care services to those with functional needs requires additional <br />planning, coordination, and resources. <br />7. Those persons with functional needs requiring constant care and/or life support systems <br />will require care at a medical facility. <br />B. Assumptions <br />1. Sufficient facilities exist in the County to shelter personnel during emergency situations. <br />The normal planning figure for maximum shelter requirements is 20 percent of the <br />County population. <br />2. County and city departments and agencies assume responsibility for emergency <br />management operations and will commit available resources to save lives and to <br />minimize personal injury and property damage. <br />3. Sufficient shelter capacity exists in adjacent counties for out -of- county evacuation and <br />these locations are available for use after coordination. <br />4. A high percentage of evacuees will seek shelter with friends or relatives rather than go to <br />public shelter. <br />5. Any person(s) with functional needs who is self - sufficient or who has a caregiver that can <br />provide assistance will be accepted into the shelter serving the individual, his/her family, <br />and his/her community. <br />III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS <br />A. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is responsible for <br />shelter and mass care during emergencies in the state. The Cabarrus County Department of <br />Human Services manages mass care operations in the County. The American Red Cross <br />(ARC) operates shelter locations. This service is provided through written agreements <br />between the ARC, the State of North Carolina, and Cabarrus County Emergency <br />Management. <br />B. DHHS supports County efforts with the following: arrange for shelter at DHHS institutions <br />Cabarrus County EOP — Annex L — Shelter and Mass Care <br />F -6 <br />Attachment number 12 <br />Page 265 <br />
