Mr. BENINTEND. Plan Bulldozer consists of three parts:

Part A describes information to be furnished to appropriate governmental authorities with local disaster relief responsibilities. It includes information on the AGC chapter disaster relief staff and contractor personnel enrolled under the plan. This part includes an equipment source summary, listing every type of equipment an agency is likely to need in the event of a disaster.

Part B provides suggestions to the AGC chapter or other disaster groups on organization, staff, and operations. This part contains a detailed breakdown of the composition of the chapter disaster staff, the disaster headquarters, and a suggested method for obtaining equipment lists from chapter members and nonmembers, and compiling such information.

Part C furnishes detailed instructions to each contractor cooperating in the plan. It includes a suggested procedure for the contractor to employ when disaster is imminent-we anticipate disaster, and we have a man in there for anticipating and marshaling our forceswhen it has struck, and also when it is under control. It contains a recommended listing of equipment which may be needed for various types of disasters, personnel that may be required, information on insurance, reimbursement, and contract forms, and recommended contract procedures for emergency operations by the Corps of Engineers. It also suggests that other agency recommended procedures be considered to fit local conditions.

These three parts are intended as suggestions to AGC chapters. and other organizations, and will require modification to fit local conditions.

Mr. Chairman, I submit for the record a copy of our booklet which have just outlined, titled "How to Organize and Operate a Program for Disaster Relief in Your Community, Plan Bulldozer."

Senator BAYH. We will be glad to have this for the record. (The documents follow:)

FOREWORD

Disaster leaves in its wake misery and confusion. Preparedness is the best solution to its aftermath. This state of preparedness is achieved by emergency planning. It is a condition in which the construction industry has a vital interest and plays an important part.

Through the Associated General Contractors of America the construction industry has tailored its skills and capabilities to its emergency planning role by a unique program called Plan Bulldozer.

Whether the disaster is an earthquake, explosion, flood, fire, snowstorm, tidal wave, windstorm, or a war, the contractor's mission is to furnish materials, operate equipment, and supply skilled personnel as long as necessary under the direction of the civil or military authority in charge of disaster relief.

Plan Bulldozer is a program to enable the contractor to carry out this mission with the greatest possible speed and efficiency.

This manual explains how to establish Plan Bulldozer in your community. Part A describes information to be furnished to appropriate governmental authorities with local disaster relief responsibilities. It includes information on the AGC chapter disaster relief staff and contractor personnel enrolled under the plan. Part B provides suggestions to the AGC chapter or other disaster relief group on organization, staff, and operations. Part C furnishes detailed instructions to each contractor cooperating in the plan.

The national AGC Emergency Planning Committee is composed of industry representatives from each of the above regions. This regional organization is recognized by most federal and state agencies. With this type of organization, the construction industry can effectively cooperate with the emergency planning efforts of federal, state, and local governments.
