Introduction The actions taken in the initial minutes of an emergency are very critical. A prompt warning to employees to evacuate, shelter or lockdown can save lives. A call for help to public emergency services that provides full and accurate information will help the dispatcher send the right responders and equipment. When an emergency occurs, the first priority is always life safety. The second priority is the stabilization of the incident. There are many actions that can be taken to stabilize an incident and minimize potential damage AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
Weather Warning System STATUS YELLOW - Weather Alert - Be Aware The concept behind YELLOW level weather alerts is to notify those who are at risk because of their location and/or activity, and to allow them to take preventative action. It is implicit that YELLOW level weather alerts are for weather conditions that do not pose an immediate threat to the person/property, but only to those exposed to risk by nature of their location and/or activity. STATUS ORANGE - Weather Warning - Be Prepared The category of ORANGE level weather warnings is for weather conditions which have the capacity to impact significantly on people in the affected areas. The issue of an orange level weather warning implies that all recipients in the affected areas should prepare themselves in an appropriate way for the anticipated conditions. STATUS RED - Severe Weather Warning - Take Action The issue of RED level severe weather warnings should be a comparatively rare event and implies that recipients take action to protect themselves and/or their properties. This could be by evacuation out of the danger zone temporarily, by staying safety shelters or by taking other specific actions aimed at mitigating the effects of the weather conditions.

Emergency committee The emergency committee main functions is to ensure that in case of an emergency all individuals are certain what role they have to play to prevent, control and take corrective action. The committee will compose of the following persons: 1. Project Manager 2. Emergency Controller = Safety Engineer & Staff Team. 3. Site Manager Engineers and Supervisor must monitor his workforce to follow, implement, and control the activities of his team. Emergency Response Team Act under the direct Supervision of the Project Engineers. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
Prevention of emergency Apart from natural disasters, unavoidable incidents and deliberate attacks, all efforts must be directed at the prevention of any emergency prior to it occurring. This will require all personnel to stand up and be counted for in terms of taking responsibility as far as Safety and Health is concerned on the Project Site. Personnel must acquire a positive attitude towards safety that will recognize safety and health as the prime requirement for working efficiently. They must promote and foster this attitude with all staff on the Project Site. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
Assembly point It is a safe and centralized location where employees will assemble together, in case of an evacuation order during an emergency. All the employ & workers must identify suitable and appropriate assembly point areas. These areas must be sufficiently communicated to all employees and visitors. The Identified areas must have a sign so that employees can clearly identify the area in case of an emergency. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
Preparedness The success rate of containing any emergency will always depend on how well prepared a team is when an emergency occurs. It is thus extremely important that every emergency committee member and every single person on the Project Site, as far as reasonably practicable, must be familiar with the contents of this emergency document. And his subcontractors must be prepared for potential incidents or emergencies by: Providing adequate and on-going training for project personnel Developing and implementing procedures and incident and emergency response plan Regular auditing of construction activities On-going and effective communication Identifying resources and equipment required for effective emergency response Identifying roles and responsibilities of individual Maintaining documentation so potential incidents or emergencies can be properly Managed Identifying key personnel and reliable means of contacting.

Contingency Planning Progress The linear model: This process, the first step requires analysis of the hazards and risk face by population to develop better appreciation of the type of situations that requires contingency planning. This is followed by specific prioritization of contingencies (possible situation). For each of these contingences’ scenarios are developed. And from the basis of contingency plan. Finally, preparedness plan is implemented, and plan are periodically updated. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD

Precautionary Actions for Rainfall & Thunderstorms Be aware of the changes that could occur to the roads as a result of the changing weather conditions. Fix objects that could be blown by severe wind such as boards. Make sure the emergency and first aid bags are ready, secure all pips and trenches with plugs and boards. Stop and down the crane’s hooks. Have Sand Bags put on the open trenches to redirect the rain water to the specific areas/ path. Have submersible pumps along with the tubes ready onsite to dewater the rain water and provide water path to the sea. Have sufficient numbers of water suction tanker, trucks, shovels, and dump trucks. Emergency Response Team from SALCO Co. to work closely with the consultant and municipality teams. Provide the means for backup lighting (hand lamp or lantern) to be used when needed. Execute the emergency evacuation plan supervised by the project safety team. Try to find a safe place and avoid standing under tall trees and electricity poles. Do not try to walk or swim in the flowing water, ponds, valley streams or dams. During heavy rains, stay away from power lines. Cut lines are not necessarily safe. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
Indoor Safety Never touch wiring during a thunderstorm. It's too late to unplug electronics if thunder is heard. Corded phones are dangerous during thunderstorms. Lightning traveling through telephone wires has killed people. Cell phone and cordless phones are safe. Wait to use any plumbing-sinks, showers, tubs, and toilets. Plumbing can conduct electricity from lightning strikes from outside. Unplug expensive electronics including TV, stereo, home entertainment centres, and computers modem lines when thunderstorms are expected, and before the storm arrives. Typically, summer thunderstorms form in the early to mid-afternoon, when most people are at work. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD

Emergency equipment and resource Resource and equipment should be located readily on site to enable prompt response and effective management of incidents or emergency. Such resource and equipment include but not limited to: 1. Safety Vehicle 2. Traffic Cones 3. Water Proof Jacket & Hats 4. Crowbar 5. Flash Light 6. Fire Extinguishers 7. First Aid Kits 8. Rope or Warning Tape to cordon the areas. 9. Buoy Tubes AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
Evacuation Plan Evacuation Plan for Facility Personnel An audible alarm will be sounded in the event of an emergency requiring evacuation the building. Portable fire extinguishers are located throughout the building. For site, whistle will be blowed and the following evacuation routes and procedure must be followed. Stay Safe. Wear a personal flotation device if available. The most important thing to remember is not to become a patient yourself. If more than one rescuer is available, have someone call 911 immediately. Remember, if calling 911 from a cell phone, be sure to say your location carefully and do not hang up until the 911 dispatcher tells you to do so. If the patient is conscious, try to reach the patient with something rigid enough to pull him or her back. An oar is a good option. If possible, always use an intermediary tool rather than reaching out with your arms. That way, if the patient starts yanking you in, you can let go to protect yourself. If nothing will reach, throw the patient a rope and encourage him or her to grab on. A life-preserver with a rope attached is a very good option. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
Evacuation Plan If the patient is too far for a rope, then there are few additional options for untrained rescuers. Make sure 911 has been called. If enough people are available, try making a chain by holding hands out to the patient. A rescuer may try swimming out to the patient, but follow these steps: Tie a rope around the rescuer's waist before heading out to the patient and have someone on shore or on a nearby buoy holding the rope. Take a pole, oar, rope, or other object to reach the patient. Rescuers should not attempt to directly touch a panicking drowning patient. If the patient is unconscious, take a buoy to the patient or tie a rope around the rescuer's waist and let the rescuer pull the patient to shore. Once a drowning patient is safely out of the water, perform basic first aid. In cold weather, remove the patient's wet clothing — all the way. Cover the patient with a blanket and watch for symptoms of hypothermia. If the patient is not breathing, begin CPR AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD

Return to Normal work After a Severe Weather response stage has passed, the recovery stage is also important. It includes consideration of many strategic issues; this need to be addressed at local and interdepartmental level The recovery phase typically should include: Planning a smooth return to normal service delivery Providing continued support and services to persons affected by the emergency e.g. psychosocial support, etc. Assessment of the effectiveness of the response and capturing the lessons learned Restoring normal functioning of supply chains and work. Being aware of the economic consequences and the requirement for emergency. Site inspection to be carried out, for site condition and check for risks and hazards caused. Checking for the site supply (electricity, water, gas) and removing any hazard caused by severe rainfall. AL YAMAMA RAIN CONTINGENCY PLAN JSWP-KFRD
