If a hazardous materials incident occurs on private property, the owner of the property will be responsible for calling a clean-up contractor, paying the costs of the clean-up contractor, chemical analysis and the cost of supplies used by the Emergency Response Team. If the owner of the private property cannot afford the cost of clean-up or refuses responsibility, the jurisdiction in which the incident occurred can authorize emergency clean-up and payment of costs as long as there is a threat to public health or the environment. The jurisdiction will also assume responsibility for the cost of chemical analysis. If a private contractor is needed to clean-up the spill, the jurisdiction will pay the contractor directly. Reimbursement for costs in such instances may then be pursued through legal means. If a hazardous materials incident occurs on the highway or right -of-way maintained by the State of Ohio or hazardous materials are released from a storm drainage ditch along the state right-of-way, the State of Ohio will assume responsibility for the costs of the incident, (if the responsible enterprise cannot be found), including the expense of calling a private contractor for clean-up, the charges for laboratory analysis, and the costs incurred by the cost incurred by the Emergency Response Team. If a hazardous materials incident occurs on a village street or right-of-way where hazardous materials are released from a village storm sewer and/or sewage system, the village will assume responsibility for the costs of the incident, (if the responsible enterprise cannot be found), including calling a private contractor for clean-up and paying the costs. If a hazardous materials incident occurs on a city street or right-of-way or hazardous materials are released from a city sewer and/or sewage system, the city will assume responsibility for the costs of the incident, (if the responsible enterprise cannot be found), including calling a private contractor for clean-up and paying the costs. If hazardous materials are found or an emergency occurs on a township road or right-of-way, the township will assume responsibility for the costs of the incident, (if the responsible enterprise cannot be found), including calling a private contractor for clean-up and paying costs. If hazardous materials are found or an emergency occurs on a county road or right-of-way, the county will assume responsibility for the costs of the incident, (if the responsible enterprise cannot be found), including calling a private contractor for clean-up and paying the costs.

Pre-Emergency Checklist For Tornado Safety [ ] Choosing a tornado safety area: Best location - in a basement under a heavy table or stairway. Next best location - central area in the building, without windows, in the smallest room available. Advantages to this location are the close walls which decrease the potential for debris falling from overhead, and no glass to break and cause cuts. The objective is to place as many walls/closed doors between you and the tornado as possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ] Store at least three-day supply of water for each person (3 gallon of water per person).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items to have in or near your tornado safety area: [ ] Basic first aid kit. [ ] Battery operated radio and extra batteries. [ ] Flashlight and extra batteries. [ ] Blanket(s). [ ] Basic tool kit (wrench to shut off natural gas if needed). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ] Extended Care Facility and Hospital Employees should be advised to automatically come to work if they learn that an emergency has occurred at work. If as few as 20 percent of phone lines are in use at one time, the phone system will shut down. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ] Cars & mobile homes are never safe during a tornado.
Tornado Emergency Check List Tornado Watch [ ] Listen to T.V. or Radio for weather information. [ ] Watch for bad weather, if it looks bad seek shelter. [ ] Secure loose objects outside (such as Trash cans). [ ] Close all windows. [ ] Close blinds and curtains. [ ] Close room dividing curtains. [ ] Close all interior and exterior doors.
