The fuel management plan
defines critical phases of a motor fuel shortage energy emergency. The point
of transition from one phase to the next phase is not absolute. To a large
degree, it is qualitative; the implementation of each phase will be a local
or state government decision.
The state energy plan
follows the National Response Plan (NRP) and the National Information
Management System (NIMS) including Emergency Support Function (ESF-12). The
motor fuels shortage emergency calls for reliance on the market to the
fullest extent necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare. The
state energy office is responsible for implementation of the state energy
response plan. In managing an energy emergency you should:
|
 |
Ensure essential public services are
provided during a fuel shortage. |
|
|
Manage specific
responses designed to reduce consumption and demand (appendices to
plan). |
|
|
Work with industries to reduce
inequities in the distribution of fuel, including petroleum-derived
fuels, such as diesel and gasoline. |
|
|
Effectively
respond to fuel shortage emergency conditions. |
|
|
Restore
equilibrium of motor fuel products supply as expeditiously as
possible. |
|
|
Assist in alleviating economic
hardships caused by the motor fuel shortage. |
|
|
Solicit and obtain public support and
participation in the implementation of the plan. |
|
|
Ensure timely gathering and
dissemination of accurate information during a fuel shortage to
guide city actions in responding to the emergency. |
|
|
Establish and enact programs and
regulations to respond to the causes of energy emergencies within
the city. |
