Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5217571· OSTI ID:5217571

This document presents some basic ideas about developing plans for dealing with energy shortages and contains a range of topics and considerations that state government officials and planners may wish to review in formulating an energy emergency plan. Those states in advanced stages of plan development might wish to use this document as a means of reviewing their plans or for possible revisions or refinements. This document introduces a number of key factors and options from which states may choose when finalizing their energy emergency plans. The report is intended to serve as a vehicle for improving planning efforts and does not seek to provide criteria by which to judge or compare different states' plans. There are six basic steps to the planning format presented in this report. The remainder of this document builds upon the outline, providing additional detail on such topics as preliminary planning,legal issues, organizational structures, selection of mitigation measures, and historical reviews. Appendix A lists information sources, and Appendix B contains responses to the State Emergency Plan Survey, updated in October 1990.
