1. INTRODUCTION:  
   
   
1.1 This document contains samples of completed CVECO notification checklists.
   
1.2 The checklists should completed with as much information as possible. As more information becomes available the checklist is updated and re-faxed to Sarnia Fire/Police Communications.
   
- Example Code 5: Although not required, the Dispatcher supplied how the incident would be noticeable.
   
- Example Code 6: Suncor provided the results of some gas testing. This would not have been recorded on the initial checklist but added and faxed later.
   
1.3 Details on completing a CVECO notification checklist can be found in Section 3 - Radio & Telephone Communications
   
1.4 Specific information on a Code 5 can be found in Section 5 - Incident Outside Industry Boundaries.
   
1.5 Specific information on a Code 6 can be found in Section 6 - Traffic Control
   
1.6 Specific information on a Code 7 can be found in Section 7 - Bomb Threat
   
1.7 Specific information on a Code 8 can be found in Section 8 - Unanticipated Noticeable Occurrence.
   
1.8 Specific information on a Code 9 can be found in Section 9 - Fire Department and Mutual Aid Assistance.
   
1.9 An overview of the checklist is provided on the next page. While the examples give specific information, the overview is intended to provide an idea of what the information will be used for and why it�s important.
CVECO CODE NOTIFICATION CHECKLIST - Overview Index

Company to provide appropriate checklist(s) to 9-1-1 within 10 minutes of reporting a

CVECO code. Fax list to 344-8779 after providing the initial information by phone or radio.

1 - INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR ALL CODES
SECTION 1 � For all codes, start here and provide the information to the municipality and other CVECO members of the nature of the event by answering the questions who, what, when and where. � If the event is a Code 8 (unanticipated noticeable disturbance), then sections 1 and 3 will be the only sections that need to be filled out. � Several boxes are provided to help provide more specific information if it is available.

2 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR CODES 5, 6, 7 OR 9
SECTION 2 � For events other than a Code 8, the municipal police or fire services and possibly other industrial responders may need to become involved. In order to get to your site safely, they will use the information contained in the first three boxes - weather, direction of safe approach & meeting / staging area. � The next box deals specifically with a Code 6. A Code 6 automatically deploys traffic control in the appropriate area indicated in Section 1. If evacuation or shelter-in-place is also recommended, the information here will give the municipality some idea of the extent of the affected area. � Lastly, a general box allows for any additional details that become available.

3 - ALL CLEAR FOR CODE: SECTION 3 - The last thing to be filled out.
