For those of you who were laughing and having strokes over my Hazard
Mitigation posts, here is how one incident went down:

Plan written about a year ago, tested with exercise, rewritten, everything
perfect. Scene was at a public park boat docking facility. Boat one was
transferring diesel from main fueling tank to tank on boat using an
automatic transfer pump, plan says to stay with boat when refueling (sign
posted on tank). He leaves to go get a sandwich or something, pump does not
shut off, 150 gal of fuel in water at boat dock ( at about $5 a gal). 911
call made, onsite responders start response, main responders show up. Booms
put out spill contained, evacuation of other boats at dock started, everyone
taken to new location as per plan, perfect. Cleanup crew arrives and starts
to clean up spill, one boat owner dumps about a gallon of Dawn in to water
to keep oil off boat before he leaves, dredges brought in to take care of
oil at bottom of lake, everything under control. Boat two was out in lake
and decided to go to dock to pick up something, comes to booms and unhooks
them to get to dock allowing spill to drain out into main current of lake.
New booms deployed to contain new spill, boat two owner detained and told
he was to be charged with cost of recovery for all oil past original spill.
Time to contain original spill 3 hours, time to contain second spill 3
additional hours. cost $10,000 per hour + equipment. Government will pay
big part of tab for boat one and none for boat two. Mistakes made, allowing
untrained humans to have anything to do with any mildly hazardous material
or any equipment with moving parts. Not following plan and leaving pump
running and not having security in water outside of boom area. Immediately
after this event ended, report of liquid Pig Manure being sprayed on cars
driving along the interstate. Response made and problem resolved. Have
never written a plan for that or even considered it before.

So no matter how hard I work to write a plan or how perfect it is, some one
will do something to make it worthless, Thought you might enjoy the story
