Preplan Levels

One way to streamline the work required to create preplans is to set up a work flow. Ask yourself this question. “Do I need a floor plan for a fast food restaurant?” So to streamline the amount of work we came up with 3 main levels of preplans and then a catch all fourth level:

�

Level 1 (Quick Action Plan)
Level 1 preplans are preplans that contain basic hazard information. Those hazards includes
	Safety Hazards
Site plan information diagram Up to 5 safety hazards The worst NFPA 704 symbol on site Stories above and below UBC Construction Type Type I Type II Type III Type IV Type V Combination Unknown Basic occupancy type Sprinklered All Partial None Truss Yes No Unknown Map Page	Abandoned Poor accessibility Aerial hazards Bio hazard Biological substances Bow string truss Chemical substances Common attic Concealed space Confined spaces Construction, lightweight floor Construction, lightweight roof Defensive operations only Do not enter structure Electrical hazards Emergency generator Hazardous entry Evacuation assistance Close exposures Falling Fire load	Inadequate fire protection systems High occupancy numbers I truss joist General life safety Metal truss No radio operations No roof operations Open shaft Other Over/next to water Overhead wires Poison Radioactive Slip hazards Soft soil Storage Storage, high piled Strong magnetic field Structural collapse likely Unstable soil Violent person Poor water system Wood truss

Types of Facilities
Businesses less than 50000 sq ft Daycares Small to medium sized churches Offices less than 50000 sq ft. Light Industrial with little Hazmat Storage Facilities Strip Malls Grocery Stores Multi family residential up to 3 stories
Level 2 (Command and Control)
This level is for hazards that require more detailed information.
Information same as Level 1 in addition to List of Hazardous Materials Floor plans of buildings More detailed contact list More detail on information (I.e. sprinkler zones, etc.) Truss type Roof Covering Roof Type Detailed ventilation survey HVAC Open Spaces Skylights Etc……….. Level 2 Occupancies Nursing Homes and other treatment centers Business over 50000 square feet Offices greater than 50000 square feet Industrial Mid-High Rise Buildings Occupancies with unique firefighter hazards
Level 3 (Unified Command) Same as Level 1 and 2 in addition to: Pre assigned assignments Pre assigned IMS locations Photos of features Law enforcement information Coordination with different agencies Types of Occupancies collected Schools Hospital Level 4 (Maps) Includes: Map Books Complex Maps Wildland Maps Water Hazard Maps Apartment Guides Pipeline Maps Landing Zones Maps of complexes that don’t require a detailed PIP A map to get to a particular point May include Level 1-3 PIP in complex
