BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS

WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump declared a national
emergency regarding COVID-19; and,
WHEREAS, March 13, 2020, Governor Greg Abbott declared a national
emergency regarding COVID-19; and,
WHEREAS, the COVID-19 virus is contagious and spreads through person -to -
person contact, especially in group settings; and,
WHEREAS, on March 15, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
("CDC") recommended that organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or
postpone in -person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United
States; and,
WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, President Trump acknowledged the gravity of the
COVID-19 pandemic, releasing strict new guidelines to limit people's interactions,
including that Americans should avoid groups of more than 10 people; and,
WHEREAS, on March 19, 2020, Governor Abbott issued Executive Order GA 08
Relating to COVID-19 Preparedness and Mitigating, stating people shall avoid social
gatherings in groups of more than 10 people and closed all schools until April 3, 2020;
and,
WHEREAS, on March 19, 2020, and March 25, 2020, due to the substantial risks
to the public, Mayor Santellana issued an order deeming it in the public interest to prohibit
anywhere in the City of Wichita Falls, Community Gatherings of more than 10 people;
and,
WHEREAS, at his March 22, 2020 press conference, the Governor acknowledged
that the urban centers may need to enact more stringent measures to address this public
health emergency and stated that he would applaud the cities for doing so; and,
WHEREAS, as of April 6, 2020, there are 6,812 persons confirmed to have
COVID-19 in Texas, with 46 of those residing in Wichita County, Texas;
WHEREAS, because of the risk of the rapid spread of the virus, the need to protect
the most vulnerable members of the community, the intent to ensure that the maximum
number of people self -isolate in their places of residence to the maximum extent feasible,
while enabling essential services to continue, and the desire to slow the spread of COVID-
19 to the maximum extent possible, this Order is required; and,
WHEREAS, this Order is issued based on evidence of increasing occurrence of
COVID-19 within the City and throughout the Central Texas area, scientific evidence and
best practices regarding the most effective approaches to slow the transmission of
communicable diseases generally and COVID-19 specifically, the evidence that the age,
condition, and health of a significant portion of the population of the City places it at risk
for serious health complications, including death, from COVID-19; and,
WHEREAS, making the problem worse, some individuals who contract the
COVID-19 virus have no symptoms or have mild symptoms, which means they may not

preventable transmission of the virus; and,
WHEREAS, the scientific evidence shows that at this stage of the emergency, it is
essential to slow virus transmission as much as possible to protect the most vulnerable
and to prevent the health care system from being overwhelmed. One proven way to slow
the transmission is to limit interactions among people to the greatest extent practicable.
By reducing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, this Order helps preserve critical and
limited healthcare capacity in the City; and,
WHEREAS, a declaration of local disaster and public health emergency includes
the ability to reduce the possibility of exposure to disease, control the risk, promote health,
compel persons to undergo additional health measures that prevent or control the spread
of disease, including isolation, surveillance, quarantine, or placement of persons under
public health observation; and,
WHEREAS, the Mayor and the City Council have determined that extraordinary
and immediate measures must be taken to respond quickly to prevent and slow down
community spread of COVID-19; and,
WHEREAS, further restriction of movement of persons is necessary to reduce the
substantial risk of harm to the public and, therefore, as long as this Order is in effect, all
individuals anywhere in the City of Wichita Falls are required to shelter in place, except

Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce:
Ensuring Community and National Resilience In COVID-19
Response
Version 11 (March 23.2020)
THE IMPORTANCE OF ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS
Function ng cdtical Infrastructure is Imperative durrg tie response to the COVID-19 emergency for both public health
and safety as well as community wel being. Certain crit ca' infrastructure industries have a spec al respons bility in
these times to continue operations.
This guidance and accompanying I stare intended to support State, Local, and industry partners in identifying the
critical infrastructure sectors and the essental workers needed to mamta.n the services and functions Americans
depend on daily and that need to be able to operate resiliently dur ng the COVID-19 pandem c response.
This document gives guidance to State, loca , tribal. and territorial jurisdictions and the private sector on defining
essential critical infrastructure workers. Nomoti rg the ability of such workers to cone nue to work during periods of
community restriction, access management. ziocial distancing, or closure orders,`directives is crucial to community
res-lience and cant nuityof essent al funct orys
CONSIDERATIONS FOR GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS
This list was developed in consultation with federal agency partners, industry experts, and State and local officials,
and is based on several key principles:
1 Response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic are locally executed, State managed, and federally supported
2 Everyone should follow guidance from the CDC, as well as State and local government officials, regarding
strategies to limit disease spread.
3 Workers should be encouraged to work remotely when possible and focus on core business act vibes. In -
person, non -mandatory activities should be delayed until the resumption of normal operations.
4 When continuous remote work is not possible, businesses should enlist strategies to reduce the likelihood of
spreading the disease. This includes. but is not necessarily limited to, separating staff by off -setting shift
hours or days and/or social distancing. These steps can preserve the workforce and allow operations to
continue.
EXHIBIT A
5 All organ zations should implement their business continu!ty and pandem c plans, or put plans in place if they
do not exist De ayirg 1mplementaton is not advised and puts at risk the viability of the business and the
hea th and safety of the employees.
6 In the modem economy, re lance on technology and :ust n time supply cha ns means that certain workers
must be able to access certain sites, facilities, and assets to ensure continu ty of functions.
Government employees, such as emergency managers, and the business community need to establish and
maintain lines ofcommunicat+on.
& When government and businesses engage in discussions about crit cal infrastructure workers, they need to
consider the implications of business operations beyond the jurisdiction where the asset or facility is located.
Businesses can have sizeable economic and societal impacts as well as supply chain dependencies that are
geographically distributed.
9. Whenever possible, jurisdictions should align access and movement contra policies related to critical
!nfrastructure workers to lower the burden of workers crossing jurisd et, onal boundaries.
IDENTIFYING ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS
The following I st of sectors and identified essential crit,ca infrastructure workers are an initial recommended set and
are Intended to be overly Inclusive reflecting the diversity of industres across the United States. CISA wil cant nualiy
solicit and accept feedback on the list rboth sectors/sub sectors and identified essential workers) and w ; evolve the
list in response to stakeholder feedback. We will also use our various stakeholder engagement mechanisms to work
with partners on how they are using this list and share those lessons learned and best practices broad y. We ask that
you share your feedback, both positive and negative on this ist so we can prow de the most useful guidance to our
critical infrastructure partners. Feedback can be sent to,j rC

MEMORANDUM ON IDENTIFICATION OF ESSENTIAL CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS DURING COVID-19 RESPONSE
FROM: Christopher C. Krebs
Director I
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
As the Nation comes together to slow the spread of COVID-19, on March 161h, the President issued
updated Coronavirus Guidance for America. This guidance states that:
"If you work in a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the Department of
Homeland Security, such as healthcare services and pharmaceutical and food supply, you
have a special responsibility to maintain your normal work schedule, "
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) executes the Secretary of Homeland
Security's responsibilities as assigned under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to provide strategic
guidance, promote a national unity of effort, and coordinate the overall federal effort to ensure the
security and resilience of the Nation's critical infrastructure. CISA uses trusted partnerships with
both the public and private sectors to deliver infrastructure resilience assistance and guidance to a
broad range of partners.
In accordance with this mandate, and in collaboration with other federal agencies and the private
sector, CISA developed an initial list of"Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers" to help State and
local officials as they work to protect their communities, while ensuring continuity of functions
critical to public health and safety, as well as economic and national security. The list can also
inform critical infrastructure community decision -making to determine the sectors, sub -sectors,
segments, or critical functions that should continue normal operations, appropriately modified to
account for Centers for Disease Control (CDC) workforce and customer protection guidance.
The attached list identifies workers who conduct a range of operations and services that are essential
to continued critical infrastructure viability, including staffing operations centers, maintaining and
repairing critical infrastructure, operating call centers, working construction, and performing
management functions, among others. The industries they support represent, but are not necessarily
limited to, medical and healthcare, telecommunications, information technology systems, defense,
food and agriculture, transportation and logistics, energy, water and wastewater, law enforcement,
and public works.
We recognize that State, local, tribal, and territorial governments are ultimately in charge of
implementing and executing response activities in communities under their jurisdiction, while the
Federal Government is in a supporting role. As State and local communities consider
COVID- I 9-related restrictions, CISA is offering this list to assist prioritizing activities related to
continuity of operations and incident response, including the appropriate movement of critical
infrastructure workers within and between jurisdictions.
Accordingly, this list is advisory in nature. It is not, nor should it be considered to be, a federal
directive or standard in and of itself.
In addition, these identified sectors and workers are not intended to be the authoritative or exhaustive
list of critical infrastructure sectors and functions that should continue during the COVID-19
response. Instead, State and local officials should use their ownjudgment in using their authorities
and issuing implementation directives and guidance. Similarly, critical infrastructure industry
partners will use their own judgment, informed by this list, to ensure continued operations of critical
infrastructure services and functions. All decisions should appropriately balance public safety while
ensuring the continued delivery of critical infrastructure services and functions.
CISA will continue to work with you and our partners in the critical infrastructure community to
update this list as the Nation's response to COVID-19 evolves. We also encourage you to submit
how you might use this list so that we can develop a repository of use cases for broad sharing across
the country.
Should you have questions about this list, please contact CISA at CISA.CAT@cisa.dhs.JZov.
Attachment: "Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce: Ensuring Community
and National Resilience in COVID49 Response"
Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce:
Ensuring Community and National Resilience in COVID-19
Response
Version 1.1 (March 23, 2020)
THE IMPORTANCE OF ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS
Function ingcriticaI infrastructure is imperative during the response to the COVID-19 emergency for both public health
and safety as well as community well-being. Certain critical infrastructure industries have a special responsibility in
these times to continue operations.
This guidance and accompanying list are intended to support State, Local, and industry partners in identifyingthe
critical infrastructure sectors and the essential workers needed to maintain the services and functions Americans
depend on daily and that need to be able to operate resiliently duringthe COVID-1-9 pandemic response.
This document gives guidance to State, local, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions and the private sector on defining
essential critical infrastructure workers. Promoting the ability of such workers to continue to work during periods of
community restriction, access management, social distancing, or closure orders/directives is crucial to community
resilience and continuity of essential functions.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS
This list was developed in consultation with federal agency partners, industry experts, and State and local officials,
and is based on several key principles:
1. Response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic are locally executed, State managed, and federal lysupported
2. Everyone should follow guidance from the CDC, as well as State and local government officials, regarding
strategies to limit disease spread.
3. Workers should be encouraged to work remotely when possible and focus on core business activities. In -
person, non -mandatory activities should be delayed until the resumption of normal operations.
4. When continuous remote work is not possible, businesses should enlist strategies to reduce the likelihood of
spreading the disease. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, separating staff by off -setting shift
hours or days and/or social distancing. These steps can preserve the workforce and allow operations to
continue.
5. All organizations should implementtheir business continuity and pandemic plans, or put plans in place if they
do not exist. Delaying implementation is not advised and puts at risk the viability of the business and the
health and safety of thee mp I oyees.
6. In the modern economy, reliance on technology and just -in -time supply chains means that certain workers
must be able to access certain sites, facilities, and assets to ensure continuity of functions.
7. Government employees, such as emergency managers, and the business community need to establish and
maintain lines ofcommunication.
8. When government and businesses engage in discussions about critical infrastructure workers, they need to
considerthe implications of business operations beyond thejurisdiction where the asset orfacilityis located.
Businesses can have sizeable economic and societal impacts as well as supply chain dependencies that are
geographically distributed.
9. Whenever possible, jurisdictions should align access and movement control policies related to critical
infrastructure workers to lowerthe burden of workers crossingjurisdictional boundaries.
IDENTIFYING ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS
The following list of sectors and identified essential critical infrastructure workers are an initial recommended set and
are intended to be overly inclusive reflectingthe diversityof industries across the United States. CISA will continually
solicit and accept feedback on the list (both sectors/sub sectors and identified essential workers) and will evolve the
list in response to stakeholder feedback. We will also use our various stakeholder engagement mechanisms to work
with partners on how they are usingthis list and share those lessons learned and best practices broadly. We ask that
you share your feedback, both positive and negative on this list so we can provide the most useful guidance to our
critical infrastructure partners. Feedback can be sent to CISA.CAT@CISA.DHS.GOV.
