Staff Report
January 8, 2024
ORDERS OF BUSINESS
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Paul Tomasi, Chief of Police & Public Safety Director APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator
SUBJECT:
Receive a report on the activities and actions over the previous two years on the City's Emergency Operations Plan and adopt Resolution 2024-001 approving the updated 2024 Emergency Operations Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a report on the activities and actions over the previous two years on the City's Emergency Operations Plan and adopt Resolution 2024-001 approving the updated 2024 Emergency Operations Plan BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Government Code 8610, contained within the California Emergency Services Act, requires the city to have an Emergency Operations Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide legal framework to manage emergencies and to provide guidance of operations in the Emergency Operations Center (OES). In 1979, Carmel-by-the-Sea established Chapter 2.64 within the Carmel Municipal Code. Chapter 2.64, titled “Emergency Organization,” defines the authorities and process of how the City will manage disasters.
In 1981, the city developed an emergency plan, which was supplemented in 1993, by the “Carmel-by-theSea Management Operations Plan (MOP). The MOP was developed because of the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) establishing Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) as the standard for managing disasters.
Following the 2001 terrorist acts, the Federal government issued a response mandate known as the “National Incident Management System” (NIMS), to address disaster management. In 2006, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving NIMS as the official regulatory guidance for emergency responses. Although SEMS meets the intent of NIMS, it is important the City’s Emergency Operations Plan be updated in a manner to assure full compliance with policies and requirements of both SEMS and NIMS.
The existing Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) was created in 2008 to meet these requirements. The plan is updated every two years and presented to the council. The plan was most recently updated in June 2021. Most of the changes in the plan were merely administrative changes involving personnel names and contact information.
The following are highlights of the past two years, including incidents, training, planning, and preparation by the city.
The Emergency Operations Plan was utilized on multiple occasions over the past two years, including use through the continuation and conclusion of the Novel-Coronavirus (COVID) pandemic. The plan was also utilized through two major storms impacting the city and residents in early 2023.
Over the past two years, the city has recognized the importance of having both highly trained staff and volunteers to handle emergency situations as they arise. The city has devoted resources to our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and our Volunteers in Policing (VIPS), both of which have made major contributions to providing assistance during emergencies.
Over the next two years, the focus will be on continued training of Staff and Volunteers to be better prepared to manage emergencies as they happen. The following goals include:
1. Develop a more refined Emergency Plan to include incident specific playbooks,
2. Provide training on the use of WebEOC as an application to help us better record incidents.
3. Provide training to staff in various levels of Emergency Management.
4. Provide resources and training for our volunteers in CERT.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
The existing EOP was presented to City Council for adoption in December 2008. The plan was revised in June 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
'Foreword
The Carmel Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) is an original plan that incorporates the policies and principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) that was originally developed for and employed by the State of California. For the purposes of this plan, NIMS and SEMS, both of which utilize as a foundation the Incident Command System (ICS), are considered transparent. The plan is intended to provide organizational and policy guidance for use during an emergency or disaster based on contemporary standards, an operational reference for training and indoctrination of City employees, and standardized emergency checklists and forms. All City elected officials and employees are encouraged to become functionally familiar with the contents of this plan.
The Carmel Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) has been approved by the Carmel City Council; the plan was effective on 2 December 2008 and has been revised, with said changes becoming effective on 9 January 2024.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
General
Intent and Basic Policy
The intent and basic policy governing the Carmel Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) is to ensure that all major emergency and disaster operations undertaken by the City of Carmel are conducted in a coordinated and integrated manner consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) (California). By publishing and adopting this plan, the City of Carmel affirms that it will comply with NIMS and SEMS during all future emergency management/disaster evolutions, and that emergency operations will include all applicable agencies, including federal, state, county, local, and tribal governments, and with private sector and non-governmental organizations. The CEOP was developed in 2008 and is updated every two-years. This revised plan has been approved by the City Council of the City of Carmel by-the-Sea and its use in any major emergency or disaster is directed.
The plan revises the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea Emergency Operations Plan dated June t, 2021 and is effective Janauary 9, 2024. Portions of germane Monterey County Operational Area plans that address specific threats or operations within the City of Carmel-by-the Sea have been incorporated into this plan in order to facilitate use during an actual emergency.
Mitigation
All California municipalities are required to develop a "Local Hazard Mitigation Plan".
This plan must be submitted via the Governor's Office of Emergency Services to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval. Carmel was a participant in the development of the County of Monterey Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP). This plan fulfills the requirement for the Carmel Local Hazard Mitigation Plan; the Carmel element of this plan was adopted by Council action on 2 October 2007, and became effective on that date.
Emergency Management Cycle
The "Emergency Management Cycle" consists of five elements that govern emergency management operations. These are:
• Prevention: Actions to avoid an incident or to intervene to stop an incident from occurring. Prevention involves actions to protect lives and property. (See Annex I-Prevention Plan for additional details.)
• Mitigation: The activities designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property or to lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident.
Mitigation measures may be implemented prior to, during, or after an incident.
Mitigation measures are often informed by lessons learned from prior incidents. (See Annex J - Mitigation Plan for additional details.) • Preparedness: The range of deliberated, critical tasks and activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve operational capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents. Preparedness is a continuous proII CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
cess. Preparedness involves efforts at all levels of government and organizations to identify threats, determine vulnerabilities, and identify required resources.
Within the NIMS, preparedness is operationally focused on establishing guidelines, protocols, and standards for planning, training and exercises, personnel qualification and certification, equipment certification, and publication management. • Response: Activities that address the short-term, direct effects of an incident.
Response includes immediate actions to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human needs. Response also includes the execution of emergency operations plans and of mitigation activities designed to limit the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and other unfavorable outcomes. (The basic CEOP provides additional details.) • Recovery: The development, coordination, and execution of service- and siterestoration plans; the reconstitution of government operations and services; individual, private-sector, nongovernmental, and public-assistance programs to provide housing and to promote restoration; long-term care and treatment of affected persons; additional measures for social, political, environmental, and economic restoration; evaluation of incident lessons learned; post incident reporting; and development of initiatives to mitigate the effects of future incidents. (See Annex L - Recovery Plan for additional details.)
The City of Carmel is committed to employing all elements of the "Emergency Management Cycle" during any emergency incident that affects the City.
Emergency Plan Mission
The Emergency Plan Mission is to protect and preserve the lives and property of its citizens during all phases of emergency management and disaster evolutions that affect the City, and to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated response thereto. Inclusive in this effort is providing accurate, coordinated, complete, timely, understandable, responsive, and appropriate disaster related information and instructions to all elements of the City government and to the residents of the City of Carmel.
The mission of the Carmel Emergency Operations Center (CEOC) is:

Situation and Assumptions
This section reflects the City's situation current to the approval of this plan, and assumptions regarding potential effects on the City's operational posture and management that could occur during the tenure of the plan.
• The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is situated on the Monterey Peninsula, a scenic area on the Central Coast of California. The City has developed the majority of its land area. Additional expansion is unlikely, but programmed enhancement of existing developed areas and structures will likely continue. • Oversight and management of the City's fire services have been contracted to the Monterey Fire Department. This system has worked effectively and is likely to continue in the future. Unless unforeseeable circumstances develop, the dispatching of fire units will continue to be accomplished by the "Fire Comm" function of the Monterey County Emergency Communications Department. • The City of Monterey Fire Department may contract to provide services for other Peninsula fire service agencies in the future. Any such consolidation is likely to have minimal impact on the implementation of this plan. • Other areas of City provided services may be subject to consolidation and/or contracting with other municipalities in the interest of cost effectiveness. • The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea will continue to be an active and supporting member of the Monterey County Operational Area Authority. • In a major emergency situation or disaster, City resources could be taxed to or beyond their limits. In these situations, a request for augmentation from the Monterey County Operational Area or higher authority may be required to sustain viable and responsive operations at the local and/or field levels. • Routine emergencies stemming from 9-1-1 calls and other forms of notification will continue to be handled in accordance with the protocols developed and employed by the Carmel Director of Public Safety or Chief of Police, the Monterey Fire Chief, the Carmel Public Services Director, and the Monterey County Emergency Medical Services Agency. Minor changes to meet changing operational priorities and needs will be adopted by the agencies involved as required. • Management of major emergencies or disasters may be consolidated in the future under a regional concept, to possibly include a "Regional or Peninsula Emergency Operations Center" and participative staffing. An Integrated Emergency Operations Plan may be developed to facilitate a regional concept. 17 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• The Carmel Fire Ambulance (CF A) organization is functional as a critical emergency response asset to the City and will remain so in the future. This capability will continue to operate in conjunction with the Monterey Fire Department. • CalOES Coastal Region has vacated its Oakland offices and has moved the Coastal REOC to Mather outside of Sacramento. The CalOES Coastal Region remains a stand-alone, single region, based at Mather. In the event of REOC activation, the State Operations Center (SOC) will be utilized as the REOC.
Note: Formerly designated the "California Emergency Management Agency (CALEMA)", this agency has reverted to its original title of the "California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES)". • Continued growth in the local Monterey Peninsula area will result in potential traffic congestion on highways, etc. contiguous to the City of Carmel-by-the Sea.
Any congestion could impede response efforts during a major emergency or disaster situation. • Environmental restrictions may cause challenges for emergency management in some areas. Enhanced inter-agency coordination may be necessary to work within these restrictions. • Special events will continue to contribute to the ambiance of the City and may increase in number and scope.

Carmel Emergency Operations Center (CEOC) and Support Facilities - Locations The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is committed to establishing a flexible CEOC posture in which several multi-use facilities can be utilized as the CEOC. Implementation of this policy will be dependent on the ability of the City to activate the primary, alternate, and backup sites quickly and effectively.
• Primary CEOC: The primary CEOC is a permanent facility located in the basement of the Carmel Police Station at the southeast corner of Junipero Street and Fourth Avenue. The designated facilities in this building will serve as the CEOC, however additional rooms/spaces may be employed as required. This site is equipped with an emergency power generator. See Annex D -- CEOC Facilities and Equipment for details and assigned equipment. • Alternate CEOC: The Alternate CEOC is in the Cannel Fire Station on Sixth Avenue between Mission and San Carlos Streets and will be used if the primary CEOC is inoperable. The Engine Bay and Administrative Office will serve as the Alternate CEOC, however additional rooms/spaces may be employed as required.

equipment.
See Annex...!!...::
• Backup CEOC: In the unlikely event that the primary and alternate CEOCs are rendered inoperable, the Emergency Services Director will establish a Back Up or Field CEOC as necessary to conduct emergency response and recovery operations. It is likely that the Public Services Department Offices located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Junipero Street and Fourth Avenue will be used for this purpose, however, the requisition of a commercial, school, or temporary facility is a possible option. As it is unlikely that facilities of this nature will have an emergency power generator, consideration should be given to obtaining emergency power. Also, Vista Lobos located on Junipero Street between Third and Fourth Avenues may be utilized as the CEOC if the primary and secondary CEOCs are inoperable or unavailable. Vista Lobos is not presently equipped with an emergency generator capability but is wired to be connected to a portable emergency generator if needed. See Annex D -- CEOC Facilities and Equip � for details and assigned equipment.
• Mobile Public Safety Answering Point (Mobile PSAP): The City purchased a Mobile PSAP in mid-2017. This capability enables the City to sustain the operations of its Primary PSAP in the event that the Police Station becomes unusable.
The Mobile PSAP will function from a location determined by the Assistant Emergency Services Director/Chief of Police. It is anticipated that the transfer of operations between the primary and mobile facilities will be seamless, however; there may be some required assistance through the connection company (AT&T). 19 CEOP

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Other Locations: In the event of a catastrophic emergency or disaster that renders the above locations unavailable or inoperable. the site of the CEOC will be chosen by the Emergency Services Director.
• Temporary Assistance Center (TAC): The Carmel Youth Center located next to the Police Department is the designated Temporary Assistance Center for the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea. It will be used as an evacuation collection point' for evacuees, to assess the need for evacuation to shelters, to provide light snacks and beverages, and to disseminate public information related to the situation extant.
The TAC will normally be staffed by representatives of the following agencies:
o City government/staff.
o Monterey Bay Area Chapter of the American Red Cross (ARC). o A CEOC Assistant Public Information Officer.
o CERT member/volunteer as assigned/available.
o Service Club representatives as available.
• Alternate Temporary Assistance Center (TAC): The Park Branch Library is being developed as an alternate Temporary Assistance Center. This location may serve as a better location depending on the emergency sand/or available resources. The Emergency Services Director will determine the best location for the TAC and that location will be publicized through media sources.
CEOC Eguipment
The equipment to support CEOC operations will generally be the equipment that is available to support the normal day-to-day operations of the City government. That equipment and any specialized equipment unique to an activation of the CEOC will be maintained by the Administrative Department and/or the designated department. See the Annex D -- CEOC Facilities and Eguipment for equipment listings and departmental responsi bi! ities.
Activation Levels -- General
Activation levels are defined herein and will be set at the discretion of the Emergency Services Director or the Assistant Emergency Services Director. To the maximum extent possible, flexibility will be maintained to allow unneeded positions to be deactivated and/or heavily involved positions open to augmentation as needed.
Specific Activation Levels
To avoid confusion of terminology, the levels employed in this plan are consistent with those used by the Monterey County Operational Area.
20 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Level Zero: Normal routine City operations are in place. The CEOC is not activated. City personnel are performing their normal duties. This level will be in effect for 99.9 per cent of the time. • Level One: The CEOC has been activated at a minimum level to deal with a minor to moderate incident wherein local resources are adequate and available, or for training. Only essential personnel are employed in the CEOC during this minimum level of activation. Level One can be employed as a contingency level of activation to be used in anticipation of a higher level of activation being required.
A Local Emergency may or may not be proclaimed.
• Level Two: The CEOC is activated with selected positions being filled as required to sustain twenty-four-hour operations. Level Two would be applicable to a moderate to severe emergency wherein local resources are not adequate and mutual aid may be required, or an incident that has the potential to escalate into a major emergency or disaster. A Local Emergency will probably be proclaimed. • Level Three: The CEOC is activated with all positions being filled for a major disaster that has overwhelmed operational area resources and extensive state and federal resources are required. Personnel may be released from the CEOC only at the discretion of the Emergency Services Director. Level Three would be applicable to a city-wide or county-wide emergency. A Local Emergency will be proclaimed, and a State of Emergency requested.
Operational Area Membership
The City of Carmel-by-the Sea is a member of the Monterey County Operational Area Authority as originally established to fulfill the requirements of SEMS. Depending on the type of disaster or major emergency involved, it is envisioned that the City could have resources committed at the Local and Field Levels of the NIMS/SEMS organizational structure. The City is committed to operating in accordance with the doctrines and protocols established by the Monterey County Operational Area.
NIMS/SEMS Organizational Structure
The National Incident Management System {NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) provide a common, state-wide organizational structure for dealing with major emergencies and disasters. Both use a five-tiered system that encompasses all jurisdictions and emergency response organizations with California. NIMS has superseded SEMS in California and is used to manage and direct emergency operations, communicate within the various elements of the structure, and to identify and provide logistic requirements and resources. It does not usurp local authority or responsibilities.
The City of Carmel-by-the Sea has endorsed the NIMS/SEMS concept and is an active and viable participant in the Monterey County Operational Area Authority. 21 CEOP

CEOC Organization
The structure of the CEOC organization is derived from the Incident Command System.
The City of Carmel Emergency Operations Center Functional Organizational Diagram is found on Page 30. The design and organization of the CEOC allows for the centralized management of all operational and support components, permitting maximum use of available resources with a framework of supporting strategies and response objectives.
The primary purpose of establishing and operating an EOC is to provide a centralized focal point for the effective management of all emergency response operations. Specifically, the establishment and activation of the CEOC facilitates the following activities:
• Centralized decision making and command authority.
• Centralized coordination of all emergency functions.
• Centralized management of public information.
• Centralized warning dissemination.
• Centralized resource application.
• Centralized resource support and procurement.
CEOC Information Flow
The flow of information within the CEOC and within the NIMS/SEMS structure is standardized. Within the CEOC, information will flow vertically to and from the Section Leader to his/her assigned personnel, and to and from the Emergency Services Director.
Information will also flow horizontally between Section Chiefs or their assigned personnel to other Section Chiefs or their assigned personnel. See Annex A - CEOC Positions and Duties and Annex B - Position Operational Checklists for additional information.
NIMS/SEMS Information Flow
The flow of information within the NIMS/SEMS is primarily vertical. The CEOC communicates with the Operational Area EOC, the Operational Area EOC communicates with the Regional EOC, and the Regional EOC communicates with the State Operational Center (SOC).. (See the preceding NIMS/SEMS Organizational Structure Diagram on

CEOC Functions and Policies
General
The Carmel Emergency Operations Center (CEOC) is organized in accordance with NIMS/SEMS/ICS and is designed to function as a team led by the Emergency Services Director or Assistant Emergency Services Director. Personnel assigned to duty in the CEOC will be selected on the basis of experience, knowledge of the City, and expertise in emergency management.
Operational Period and Sustained Staffing
The CEOC Staff should be capable of sustaining twenty-four operations as demanded by the situation at hand. To do this, two teams, designated the "Gold Team" and the "Silver Team" will be formed. When the activation of the CEOC is ordered, the "Gold Team" will accomplish the activation. Depending on the nature of the situation, the "Silver Team" may be sent home for rest, with instructions to report for duty twelve hours after the activation order. The operational period for each team will be nominally twelve hours, tailored at the discretion of Emergency Services Director to the situation extant.
Section and Positional Staffing
Approximately twenty-five CEOC Staff positions are included in the City of Carmel Emergency Operations Center Functional Organizational Diagram. In an ideal situation, the City would have the resources to fill all positions during activation. However, reality dictates that without significant augmentation, the City will have only sufficient resources to activate and staff key positions. The CEOC Staff duties and functional checklists contained in Annex A - CEOC Positions and Duties and Annex 8 -- Position Operational Checklists are included for all positions. It should be noted that the duties of any unfilled positions will be the responsibility of the next highest filled position within the organization.
CEOC Functions
The CEOC will operate in accordance with the provisions of NIMS/SEMS/ICS. The overall function of the CEOC will be to ensure the effectiveness and cohesiveness of operations during a major emergency or disaster. • Mayor and City Council: The Mayor and City Council set the overall policies for emergency management and support the Emergency Services Manager in the execution of his/her duties. The Mayor and City Council can also serve as an effective means of communications between residents and the CEOC Staff. • Command Section: The Command Section of the CEOC is charged with the overall management of any disaster response and recovery operations for the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Concept of Operations
General
During a major emergency or disaster, prudent emergency management planning dictates that jurisdictions should be self-sustaining for a period of time before the receipt of outside aid and/or resources should be anticipated. The following general planning parameters will be used in the execution of this plan. • Receipt of fire, law, and emergency medical mutual aid resources requested using the protocols established by the Monterey County Fire Chiefs Association, the Monterey County Chief Law Enforcements Officers Association, and the Monterey County Emergency Medical Services Agency will normally be received within one hour of request in the event of a localized major emergency affecting the City. In the event of an Operational Area wide major emergency or disaster in which law and fire resources are committed, a longer response time is probable. • Receipt of aid or resources requested from the Monterey County Operational Area should not be anticipated for the first twenty-four hours after start of the event.
The City should be self-sustaining for this period.
• Receipt of aid or resources from the Coastal Region, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services {CalOES}, should not be anticipated for the first fortyeight hours after the start of the event. • Receipt of aid or resources from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services {CalOES} and/or the California National Guard should not be anticipated for the first forty-eight to seventy-two hours after start of the event. • Receipt of aid or resources from the federal sources and/or the Federal Emergency Management Agency {FEMA) should not be anticipated for the first seventy-two to ninety-six hours after the start of the event.
Communications
The acknowledged "Achilles Heel" of any emergency response is communications. Viable communications from and to all levels is essential to ensure timely and effective operations through all phases of emergency operations. To accomplish effective communications, the users of this plan should follow appropriate actions to ensure that operational communications consider and address the following requirements:
• Tactical Communications. Communications between the CEOC, the Monterey County Communications Center, and tactical units in the field. • CEOC Internal Communications. Communications, either verbal or otherwise, including WebEOC communications, between members of the CEOC Staff. • Operational Area Communications. Communications between the CEOC and the Monterey County Emergency Operations Center, including WebEOC usage. 33 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Regional/State Communications. Those communications between the CEOC and the Regional Operations Center (REOC) or the State Operations Center (SOC), including WebEOC usage.
• Inter-Agency Communications. Those communications between the City and other jurisdictions or supporting agencies, including WebEOC usage. • City Governmental Communications. Those communications between members of the CEOC Staff and all members of the City government, including members of the City Council.
• Media Communications. Those communications with the media that are intended to be broadcasted to the public at large or to be used by the media as newsworthy information.
• Community Communications. Direct or indirect communications with the public, including the use of media releases to reach the public at large or specific segments of the public, including social media.
Each of these categories of communications should be addressed during an activation of the CEOC,
Peacetime Emergency Response Levels
The City of Carmel-by-the Sea's partial or total response to natural disasters or manmade and technological incidents will be predicated by the type and magnitude of the actual emergency. Generally, response to a major emergency will progress from a local response, to regional, state, and federal involvement.
For planning purposes, three levels of emergency response to peacetime emergencies are established. These levels are based on the severity of the situation and the availability of local resources to employ during the response. These Peacetime Emergency Response Levels have a direct correlation to the CEOC Activation Levels discussed earlier. • Level I: A minor to moderate incident wherein local resources is adequate and available. A Local Emergency may or may not be proclaimed and the CEOC may or may not be activated. Most Level I Emergency Responses will be handled by the use of fire/law enforcement/emergency medical protocols and procedures. • Level II: A moderate to severe emergency wherein local resources are not adequate and mutual aid may be required on an operational area, regional, or statewide basis. A Local Emergency will be proclaimed, and a proclamation of a State of Emergency requested. The CEOC will be activated. • Level Ill: A major disaster wherein resources in or near the impact area are overwhelmed and extensive state and/or federal resources are required. A Local Emergency and a State of Emergency will be proclaimed, and a Presidential Declaration of an Emergency or Major Disaster requested. The CEOC will be activated.
War Related Emergencies
34 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Responses to War Related Emergencies will likely have a wide range of serious consequences, thus these responses will likely be subject to specific guidance from federal and/or state agencies responsible for coordinating responses. Planned responses to these emergencies should include the following considerations:
• Relocating residents from potential hazard areas to reception areas, time permitting. • Identifying the best available shelter from direct effects for those persons remaining in the hazard areas. • Improving the protective shelter capability in reception areas by emergency upgrading of existing buildings and/or by emergency construction of expedient shelters.
Relocation of the threatened population may be the preferable option in a war related emergency due to the shortage of protective shelters within the hazard area. Limited warning time and other circumstances might preclude relocation or allow limited movement of residents.
In such instances, people remaining in threatened areas will need the best available inplace protection. Persons remaining in or authorized to commute to and from hazard areas will also need protection.
Operations during War Related Emergencies will be governed by essential action relating to increased readiness, relocation (if ordered and time permitting), and an actual attack (with or without warning). Adherence to clear and consistent federal and/or state guidance under these circumstances will be paramount to operational success.
Maior Emergency/Disaster Phases
All disasters or major emergencies generally have four basic phases, with the obvious exception of spontaneous situations. These are:
• Increased Readiness: Upon receipt of a warning, forecast, and/or observation that an emergency is imminent, has occurred, or is likely to occur in the foreseeable future, the City may elect to take appropriate actions to increase its overall readiness. Example events that could prompt increased readiness activities are:
CEOP
o Receipt of a Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Bulletin {EMERBULL) or other form of official communications from the Operational Area. o Receipt of a special weather statement, hazardous weather outlook, advisory, watch, or warning from the National Weather Service (NWS). o Receipt of a Tsunami Warning from the National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC), the National Weather Service <NWS), or the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services {CalOES). o The occurrence of an earthquake of an unknown magnitude felt in Carmel. 35 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA

o The occurrence of fire-conducive conditions such as high winds, low humidity, and high temperatures, of a "Red Flag Warning" or "Fire Weather Watch".
o A "Multi-Casualty Incident" (MCI) occurring within the City or in close proximity to the City to which City resources are committed. o A warning or circumstances indicating the potential for terrorism, civil disturbance, shooter, or other acts of violence.
Actions taken to increase readiness may include, but not limited to, the following:
o Briefing the Mayor, City Council members, and department heads on the known details of the situation.
o Commencing increased emergency public information actions. o Ensuring critical equipment and facilities are prepared and ready. o Alerting volunteer organizations (ARC, CERT, etc.) of the possibility of activation, and the situational details.
o Establishing staffing and/or shift plans for City employees. o Releasing City employees to prepare their families and/or obtain rest. o Providing specific warnings to threatened portions of the City's population, and general emergency planning information to the population at large.

• Initial Response: The initial response will usually be conducted by City organizations at the field response level. Efforts will be directed towards containing or minimizing the effects of the emergency. Field responders will employ ICS to ensure a functional and responsive on-scene organization. The CEOC may be activated in support of field operations.
CEOP
Actions that could be undertaken by the CEOC Staff under these circumstances include, but are not limited to:
o Carrying out the mission of the CEOC.
36 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2

o Making all appropriate notifications, including the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services or the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center (Op Area EOC).
o Requesting activation of the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center (Op Area EOC) to support the activation of the CEOC and the local response.
o Declaring a "Local State of Emergency" and forwarding appropriate documentation to the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services or the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center. o Promulgating warnings and disaster related public information. o Ensuring the safety and welfare of residents, business owners and employees, and visitors/tourists. o Establishing collection centers for displaced persons. o Alerting appropriate agencies to prepare for care and shelter operations. o Conducting evacuations and rescue operations.
o Assessing damage.
o Assessing the need for mutual aid.
o Restricting traffic and/or movement in affected areas. o Coordinating information and resource requirements with the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center.
o Activating the TAC as the situation dictates.
• Extended Response: The CEOC will be activated, and its Staff will be responsible for conducting extended response activities. Extended emergency operations involve the coordination and overall management of all responding resources in order to contain and resolve the emergency and provide for public safety. The CEOC Staff will be organized as specified in this plan, function in accordance with the principles of NIMS/SEMS and carry out the mission of the CEOC.
Communications will be maintained with the local Incident Commander (IC) in the field and with the Operational Area EOC.
CEOP
Examples of extended response actions may include, but are not limited to the following:
o Developing the Incident Action Plan (IAP).
o Obtaining resources to sustain operations.
o Prioritizing resources allocations.
o Disseminating disaster public information.
o Operating shelters. (Shelter operations are normally under the auspices of the Monterey Bay Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. The initia37 Effective Date: January 1, 2024

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
tion of shelter operations will be coordinated with the Monterey County Operational Area EOC.)
o Documenting all aspects of the emergency, including expenditures and resource allocations. o Restoring public services and utilities.
o Developing a recovery action plan.
• Recovery: As the immediate threat to life and property subsides and the emergency situation is stabilized, a transition from response operations to recovery will occur. The transition to the recovery phase will be relatively seamless and absent a distinct demarcation. In effect, the recovery phase will begin the rebuilding process.
Recovery activities will include the restoration of services to the public and rebuilding affected facilities and areas. Recovery can be both short term and long term. Long term recovery efforts can lead to mitigation of the factors that caused the emergency and lessening the effects of future similar disasters.
Example of recovery actions, include but are not limited to:
o Restoration of all utilities, services, and facilities. o Assisting members of the community in restoring their homes, families, and I ives to normalcy.
o Condemnation and demolition of structures/facilities that are unsafe or that cannot be economically repaired.
o Establishing and/or coordinating local assistance centers and Disaster Assistance Centers. o Coordinating with federal and state agencies in providing information and assistance to affected citizens.
o Promulgating recovery related information including FEMA Disaster Assistance Line numbers. o Applying for state and federal disaster assistance funding and/or programs. o Developing a hazard/disaster mitigation plan, including the identification of any residual or potentially reoccurring hazards.
o Recovering costs associated with the emergency response. o Preparing data for possible audits by federal and state agencies.
Disaster Declaration
The key to activating emergency disaster aid is a "Declaration of Local State of Emergency". The declaration, or "dee" as it is known in the emergency services profession, is a formal legal proclamation that establishes the parameters of the emergency incident and 38 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
serves as a means of notification to the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services/Monterey County Operational Area and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services. The following individuals have the authority to proclaim a local emergency:
• As requested by the Emergency Services Director (City Administrator) or the Assistant Emergency Services Director when the City Council is in session. (See City Code 2.64.060.)
• The Mayor or the Emergency Services Director (City Administrator) when the City Council is not in session. (See City Code 2.54.060.) • Whenever a local emergency is proclaimed by the Mayor or the Emergency Services Director, the City Council shall take action to ratify the proclamation within seven days or the proclamation shall have no further force or effect. (See City Code 2.64.060.)
• The Assistant Emergency Services Director (Director of Public Safety or Chief of Police) in the absence of the Mayor or the Emergency Services Director {City Administrator).
Concurrent with the proclamation of the local emergency, a request that the County declare a local emergency to include the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea will be issued.
Should the County elect to declare a local emergency, it will normally request that the State of California declare the County a disaster area. Should conditions warrant and the Governor concurs in the declaration, he or she may request that the President declare that a State-wide disaster exists.
Various aid and assistance programs are activated with different levels of declaration.
Timeliness in proclaiming a local disaster is paramount.
Pre-Activation Responsibilities and Preparation
All City departments and City employees take part in pre-activation preparation. Completing and maintaining these preparation steps is a key factor that enables the City to assume a disaster management footing smoothly and with minimum disruption. • General Preparation Responsibilities Applicable to All City Employees CEOP

Activation -- General
The period from the initial awareness of the emergency situation or disaster until the CEOC is fully activated and functioning will be challenging for all concerned, as well as critical to the success of the overall emergency response. The challenge will be compounded if the activation occurs during non-working hours or without warning. The keys to ensuring timely and effective activation of the CEOC are:
• Pre-event planning and notification of City personnel in the case of a forecast emergency.
• Maintaining an accurate and current notification system for contacting City personnel. • Timely notification of City personnel in the event of a simultaneous emergency. • Training and proficiency of CEOC Staff members.
• The personal (home/family) preparedness of CEOC Staff members. • The use of the position duty descriptions and position action checklists contained in this plan.
• Completion of pre-activation responsibilities by designated supervisors.
CEOC Activation Responsibilities and Check-In Procedures When the decision to activate the CEOC has been made, designated City Hall personnel activate the Everbridge feature of the Alert Monterey system. This system will be preprogrammed with the notification information for all City personnel and should provide timely initial activation information to all effected City personnel.
Additionally, City Hall personnel will telephone the following departments to inform all concerned that the CEOC has been activated. Basic activation information will be provided to:

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Potential Threats
The following threats are considerable applicable to the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea. In some instances, the City has directly experienced these threats; in other cases, the potential threats are acknowledged to have the capacity to affect the City. The occurrence of any of these threats singularly or together could result in a disaster or major emergency and require the activation of the CEOC.
• Earthguake: The San Andreas Fault lies approximately twenty-five miles to the east of the City. While this segment of the fault is relatively less active than other segments, it does have the potential to produce earthquakes that could cause structural damage and injuries within the City and its environs. Other closer offshore faults possess the capability to produce damaging earthquakes. • Tsunami: A tsunami is a seismically generated series of sea waves that can produce major coastal damage. Although extremely infrequent occurrence, tsunamis, often mistakenly called "tidal waves", have caused damage in Crescent City, Santa Cruz, and in Moss Landing during recent events. Carmel Beach would be the primary City area affected by a tsunami. The Monterey County Operational Area Tsunami Incident Response Plan (TIRP) provides specific incident related guidance for this type of event and "run-up" maps. (See Annex P - Beach Closure, Evacuation, and Tsunami Plan for functional guidance.) • Winter Storm/Extreme Weather: The Monterey Peninsula is prone to damage from winter storms from November through April. Generally, the coastline and immediate surrounding areas receive the major impacts; consequently, the potential for severe damage from high winds and/or heavy rains does exist for the City.
Trees fallen as the result of winter storms/extreme weather may present a significant hazard to the City in terms of destruction of real property, threat to life, and disruption of essential services/transportation, thus resulting in a "compound emergency" situation. The power of this potential threat has been demonstrated to the City numerous times in the past and should not be ignored or discounted. • Flooding: Flooding usually occurs as the direct result of winter storms. Therefore, it is not uncommon that the two will combine to form a "compound emergency" in which the emergency response system will be required to deal of the salient characteristics of both types of threat. The effects of flooding on the City of Carmel will normally be generated from two sources, flooding of the Carmel River which has the capacity to inundate the Carmel Regional Water Pollution District sewage plant located south of the City adjacent to the Carmel River, and localized flooding of streets and areas due to heavy rainfall and/or poor drainage from the urbanized watershed to the east and north of the City. With the exception of the sewage treatment ponds which provide sewage treatment for the City, the City is situated well above the 100 year flood plain. Flooding of the sewage plant could force it to be shut down, thus impacting the City.
CEOP
o Levee Failure and Resultant Flooding: Levee failure and flooding could affect the unincorporated area of Mission Fields located immediately east of the City's southeastern corner. Should this occur, the primary 46 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
impact on the City would be the disruption of transportation to and from the southeastern areas of the City. City resources could be committed to mutual aid in this area.
o Urban/Small Stream Flooding: The City is susceptible to this form of flooding resulting from heavy rains and/or saturated ground. Ponding on roadways, storm drain overflows, and heavy runoff on paved areas could result. This type of emergency can present a significant hazard to drivers. • High Surf Conditions/Coastal Flooding: The combination of high tides, large swells, and high winds can produce high surf conditions and flooding of the Carmel Beach. These conditions could pose a severe threat to life and property within that area of the City and could destroy beach access points/routes. Additionally, the unincorporated coastline areas southward of the City and around Carmel Point and areas adjacent to the Carmel River Lagoon could be impacted during high surf conditions. City agencies could be requested to provide mutual aid to adjacent unincorporated areas during these conditions. (See Annex P - Carmel (City) Beach Closure, Evacuation, and Tsunami Plan for functional guidance.)
• Drought: Drought conditions could affect the entire City and virtually all aspects of life within the City. The potential of increased fire danger will be prevalent, and the likelihood of a negative impact on the hospitality industry will exist.
Drought conditions will affect the entire Monterey County area, and may result in gubernatorial declarations of a state of emergency. Drought conditions may persist for extended periods of time depending on the severity of climatic conditions, and preparations and precautions should be undertaken accordingly.
CEOP
Drought conditions are unique in that the City's efforts will generally comply with those of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, Monterey County, the State of California, California American Water Company, and possibly other cognizant agencies of jurisdiction. Consequently, dissemination of drought related public information and other pertinent actions must be closely coordinated with these agencies to ensure consistency and continuity of effort. In some instances, the City may elect to allow these agencies to handle the preponderance of public information efforts and defer to their lead.
During declared drought conditions, the City's mitigation efforts will be focused on, but not limited to, the following areas:
• Conservation of water, both within City facilities and grounds, and by citizens. (See Annex J - Mitigation for additional information.) • Close monitoring of fire prone or high fuel areas, including Pescadero Canyon and Mission Trails Park.
• Disseminating and publicizing water conservation information as provided by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and California American Water Company. (See Annex U -- Emergency Public Information (EPI) & Population Warning (PW} for general guidance.) 47 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Publicizing and promoting vegetation clearance around structures in accordance with CalFire's "100 Foot Defensible Space" program. (See Annex Z - Emergency Preparedness for additional information and details of the Ca!Fire program.)
• Other efforts as deemed appropriate by the City.
• Urban/Wildland Intermix Fire: A fire of this nature could affect the City as most areas of the City contain relatively heavy native tree growth. Urban/wildland intermix fires could spread into the City from unincorporated areas to the north and east of the City.
• Urban Fire/Conflagration: Older structures grouped in small or downtown areas and built before contemporary building codes were enacted could present a localized area fire hazard, particularly under the prevailing onshore wind conditions. • Essential Services/Transportation/Utilities Disruption: The potential for disruption of life sustaining services on the Monterey Peninsula is real. With limited major arteries of transportation, various forms of emergencies could disrupt vehicular traffic that could result in the disruption of essential services, including all forms of utilities delivery, emergency medical transportation, propane deliveries, and other critical services. The City has experienced electrical and natural gas services disruptions in the past.
CEOP
o Potable Water Contamination/Disruption: The City is serviced by the California American Water Company water system. A remote possibility exists of contamination and/or disruption due to a variety of manmade or natural causes.
o Transportation Disruption: It is conceivable that in certain types of emergencies, key transportation arteries into and out of Carmel-by-theSea could be disrupted or closed. An event of this nature could require circuitous routing through either surrounding unincorporated areas of Monterey County, or Pebble Beach, causing delays both in general travel and emergency response.
o Electrical Power/Natural Gas Service/Sewer Service Disruption: Disruption of electrical and natural gas service has and could result from winter storms, high winds, human error, fallen trees or limbs, vehicular accidents, vandalism, system failure, and other causes. Hence, this type of emergency incident has the potential to be relatively common. Electrical power service is provided to the City by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). As portions of this service are above ground, the system is particularly vulnerable to severe weather and winter storms. Disruption can be prolonged, thus generating a potential set of sub-emergency situations in which homes cannot be heated, meals cannot be prepared, and businesses are unable to operate. As PG&E obtains its electricity from the state-wide grid, it is not dependent on one source of power. However, a major disruption of the grid or the immediate local distribution system 48 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
could result in a prolonged power outage. Natural gas distribution to the City is handled by a single pipeline as a sole source.
• Hazardous Materials Incident: The likelihood of this type of emergency within the City is low. Carmel has no industrial facilities, and it is likely that any hazardous material incident would be associated with a support function of the hospitality industry. The Monterey County Hazardous Materials Incident Plan will govern field operations should a hazardous material incident occur. • Evacuation: Any incident could result in the need to evacuate residences or businesses of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea in order to preserve life or prevent injuries. In order to ensure effectiveness and maintain civil order, evacuations must be well planned and efficiently executed. For the purpose of this plan, a situation in which evacuation or other actions are deemed necessary to protect the citizens of Carmel, the following three defined categories will be applicable.
CEOP
o Evacuation Advisory (Precautionary}: No immediate threat exists, however prudent emergency management dictates removal of persons from a specific area, or evacuation of specific vulnerable portions of the community as a precautionary measure.
o Evacuation Warning (Mandatory): A threat is present or impending and requires that all persons and livestock living in a specific area be evacuated from the scene for their protection without delay. This type of evacuation is mandatory.
o Shelter-in-Place: Shelter-in-Place may be employed if a threat exists or is impending, but in which citizens are safe within their residences or place of employment. Implicit with Shelter-in-Place is the understanding that those citizens involved are self-sufficient in food, water, medicines, and propane/cooking fuels. Citizens who are not self-sufficient in these areas will be subject to evacuation.
Instructions for Shelter-In-Place should be clear and unambiguous, and promulgated by all available means. The following elements of ShelterIn-Place instructions are germane and should be included:
• An explanation of what Shelter-In-Place means.
• The reason or reasons for Shelter-In-Place, including any hazards that may be present or associated with the instructions. • The duration of the Shelter-In-Place period.
• Special instructions associated with the Shelter-In-Place instructions, including securing exterior ventilation, not going outside of the residence, hazardous conditions to persons with respiratory ailments, etc.
• How to obtain assistance when Shelter-In-Place is in effect. 49 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERA TJONS PLAN
• Evacuation Authority: The Emergency Services Director is authorized to direct evacuations in all situations. In the absence of the Emergency Services Director, this authority will be assumed by the Director of Public Safety or Chief of Police.
If an immediate, localized evacuation is deemed warranted on the fire ground or at a crime scene, an on-scene Fire Service or Law Incident Commander may direct an evacuation.
See Annex R - General City Evacuation for additional information. • Multi-Casualty Incident (MCI): A multi-casualty incident is one in which the local medical responders or facilities are tasked beyond their resources. While no number figure for actual casualties defines this event, practical experience has indicated that the general number of five major casualties will normally constitute a multi-casualty incident. The Monterey County Multi-Casualty Incident Plan will govern field operations should this event occur. • Public Health Emergency/Pandemic: This type of emergency can cover a wide range of specific situations that could be hazardous to the City's citizens, including localized public health emergencies such as drinking water contamination or a pandemic. The Monterey County Department of Health (MCHD) possesses the infrastructure, resources, and expertise to deal with public health emergencies and/or conduct appropriate liaison with the California Department of Health. In all jurisdictions within Monterey County, public health emergencies are handled under the auspices of the Monterey County Health Department, utilizing the protocols and plans developed by that agency. The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea could be called upon to support or participate in Health Department operations within the City, or to affect evacuations in response to the Health Department's direction.
CEOP
o The Pandemic Influenza Response Plan (PIRP) designated Annex E of the Monterey County Health Department Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan and the Carmel Pandemic Influenza Incident Response Plan (CPIIRP) address this type of emergency incident. This PIRP compliments Annex B, Mass Prophylaxis Plan and Annex Q, Smallpox Plan.
The City of Carmel will comply with this plan and its annexes. Under the direction of the Monterey County Health Officer, Communicable Disease Control will have the primary responsibility for planning and coordinating with the local hospitals and clinics, local emergency management, cities, and special districts, local public safety agencies (law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services), neighboring counties (San Benito, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo. Fresno, and Kings), and state/regional agencies including CDHS, Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA), and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES).
o The Carmel Pandemic Influenza Incident Response Plan (CPIIRP) provides specific actions and responsibilities for the City in the event of a pandemic occurrence.

Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Civil UnrestNiolence: Although unlikely to occur in the City of Carmel-by-theSea, civil unrest/violence could conceivably pose a threat to the well-being of the community. Gang-related violence is highly unlikely in the Carmel community and surrounding areas.
• Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Incident: This type of incident could range for investigation of a suspicious package to neutralizing an actual explosive device. It could also fall under the category of an Explosive "E" incident in the context of a Terrorism event. Expended military ordnance/pyrotechnic smoke markers could wash up along the City's shoreline. In any instance of this nature, the use of a military Explosive Ordnance Disposal Squad or a mutual aid response from the Monterey County Sheriff's Office EOD Team would be warranted. The EOD Team procedures, protocols, and/or plans promulgated by the Monterey County Sheriff's Office will normally guide EOD responses within the City. The involvement of the City's law enforcement and fire services will normally be confined to evacuating and condoning of the area, denying access, and general support functions until the situation is resolved. • Terrorism/General: Recent experience within our nation has demonstrated that acts of terrorism can take many forms. Our nation has undergone attacks by heavily armed individuals targeting specific individuals, identified groups, and random targets of opportunity. Weapons have varied from purchased firearms to improvised explosive devices. Contemporary first responders are now forced to be prepared to face a wide variety of threats that can occur with or without warning, even in areas considered safe. The entire emergency management structure must likewise be prepared for this type of incident. Complacency is the ally of the terrorist.
• Terrorism (CBRNE - ChemicaVBiological/Radiological/Nuclear/Explosive):
CEOP
Although the City of Carmel does not offer the individual high value targets preferred by terrorists. However, the City is widely known as a desirable tourist destination whose business district can be heavily populated, and as such, could be a target for some forms of terrorist activities. This type of emergency could also be a carryover from other local areas that do have the potential for generating high profile or high value targets. It should be anticipated that any terrorism incident will generate immediate federal and/or state assistance in accordance with Department of Homeland Security (OHS) protocols, and that a "Unified Command" structure with responding federal and/or state agencies may be warranted.
In the event of an explosive terrorism event, standing Public Safety and Fire Department protocols will initially apply. In the event of a biological, radiological, chemical, or nuclear event, OHS protocols, supplemented by any applicable Monterey County Health Department plans and protocols, will apply. o CBRNE Device Detection: In the event that a suspected CBRNE device is detected, the following procedures will be employed:
51 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• The device will be isolated, and the immediate area evacuated and cordoned. Entry into the area will be denied until it is cleared by the Incident Commander in coordination with appropriate responding federal/state officials. • Appropriate CBRNE/EOD disposal resources/investigative personnel will be requested. • The device will not be moved or disturbed until recommended by qualified CBRNE/EOD disposal/investigative personnel.
• The Incident Commander and the Emergency Services Director should be prepared for "disposal on site" of the device.
Implicit in responding to this type of incident is the timely notification of County/federal/state disposal/investigative resources. Existing protocols employed by the Monterey County Office of Emergency Service, the Monterey County Emergency Communications Department, and/or the Monterey County Sheriff's Office will be utilized. • Armed Shooter/School Lockdown: This type of event is normally a law enforcement area of jurisdiction, with appropriate assistance and support from the fire service and emergency medical resources. Although very rare, a school shooting can present a highly emotional scenario and a public information/relations challenge of the first order. While the priority of the on-scene incident commander will probably be the safety of students and faculty, the CEOC may be in the position to deal more directly with the media and the public information aspects of the emergency incident, thus freeing the Incident Commander to deal with the tactical situation at hand. The existence of only one private school within the City makes this type of event very unlikely. • Nuclear/Radiological Incident: The threat of a nuclear/radiological incident is very low, however, an effect on the City could be generated from the following sources:
o An accident at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Generating Plant located 150 miles south of the City near A vi la in San Luis Obispo County. o Transportation Incident along major thoroughfares.
o Laboratory incident at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory located approximately 110 miles north of the City. o Military incident or accident offshore.
o Act of terrorism involving nuclear/radiological devices.
The response capabilities of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea to an incident of this nature will be limited. Containment, monitoring, and reporting will be the primary actions taken until mutual and/or specialized aid can be received. • State of War: A state of war is considered unlikely for the purposes of this plan.
Should a state of war be declared by national leadership, the City will follow the 52 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
direction established by the National Command Authority. At a minimum, increased surveillance within the City should be anticipated. The imposition of curfews and other actions will be subject to national or state direction. • Mass Fatality Incident: A Mass Fatality Incident could accompany various types of major emergencies or disasters. A mass fatality situation would be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Monterey County Multi Casualty Plan and/or the Coroner protocols established by the Monterey County SheriffCoroner. • Miscellaneous Incidents: Included in this category are the following:
o Aircraft Crash: The possibility of an aircraft crash or accident, while very remote, is a potential threat to most communities on the Monterey Peninsula. Should this type of incident occur within the City limits, it could result in a Multi-Casualty Incident. The Monterey County Aviation Incident Response Plan previously addressed this type of incident in detail from the Operational Area's perspective; this plan is no longer in effect, and its protocols have been incorporated into emergency dispatch protocols. The Monterey County Multiple Casualty Incident (MCI) Response Plan is applicable to this type of incident from the Operational Area's perspective.
o Tour/School/Passenger Bus Incident: Numerous bus tours are operated within the City on a daily basis. Additionally, Monterey-Salinas Transit buses and school buses serve the needs of the City's population. The possibility of a tour/school/passenger bus collision or accident, while remote, does exist. This type of incident could result in a Multi-Casualty Incident, thus rendering the Monterey County Multiple Casualty Incident (MCI) Response Plan the applicable plan.
o Maior Maritime Incident/Shipwreck: Cruise vessels visit Monterey Bay on a regular basis, and frequently anchor overnight. Additionally, day fishing charter boats and whale watching expeditions operate from Monterey. An incident involving any of these vessels could result in a major search and rescue operation, sheltering, coastline contamination and closure, and a multi-casualty incident.
o Other Incidents: Any other incident not covered above that results or could result in a major emergency/disaster.
• Other Emergency Operational Considerations and Factors: These considerations and factors are likely to be applicable to all types of emergency incidents and include:
CEOP
o Street Addresses: The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is unique in that it does not employ street addresses. Locations are determined by their relationships to intersections (i.e. "the third house south from the intersection of Monte Verde and Ninth Avenue on the east side"), between two intersections (i.e. "on the south side of Tenth Avenue between San Carlos and 53 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
CEOP
Dolores), or from a known landmark ("Ocean View opposite the Tor House"). The absence of addresses has not inhibited prompt and exact responses by the Carmel Fire and Police Departments because their personnel are thoroughly familiar with the City. However, this situation could present a challenge to newcomers to the CEOC Staff, and caution should be exercised accordingly.
o Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP): Public Safety Answering Points handle 9-1-1 calls for specific jurisdictions and/or areas. The City operates its own PSAP located in the Police Department and handles 9-1-1 calls originating within the City's boundaries. Law enforcement assets are dispatched directly by dispatchers located in the PSAP, while fire and medical related calls are transferred to "Fire Comm", operated by the Monterey County Emergency Communications Department and located in Salinas, for dispatch. The Monterey Fire Department units and Carmel Fire Ambulance emergency medical/ambulance assets supporting the City are dispatched by "Fire Comm". During a major emergency or disaster when the CEOC is activated, fire service, law enforcement, Public Services, and forestry resources are dispatched by members of the CEOC Staff or by the PSAP.
In the event of communications disruption, the Monterey County Emergency Communications Center can assume Carmel's PSAP function upon initiation of the transfer switch by the Monterey County Emergency Communications Center.
Additionally, PSAP has the option to switch incoming calls to the Fire Department and to conduct public safety functions from that facility if required. o Forms Unique to the PSAP Function During a Maior Emergency/Disaster: Since the City operates its own PSAP, it is necessary that it be prepared to record and log incoming telephone calls during a major emergency or disaster in order to ensure prompt and effective responsive actions. To accomplish this purpose, the following forms found in Annex E -- CEOC Forms & Associated Documentation will be utilized:
• All Hazard Incident Report Card - Used to record all hazard reports during all major emergencies/disasters except storms. See Page E-9-A.
• Storm Incident Report Card - Used to record all hazard reports during storm related emergencies. See Page E-10-A.
• Phone Message Report Card - Used to record all telephonic messages during all major emergencies/disasters including storms.
See Page E-11-A.
Forms will be completed with all pertinent information by the Call Taker and routed to the appropriate action officer/Section Chief. 54 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
CEOP
Forms will be serialized and recorded on the appropriate CEOC status board. Forms on which the action has been completed will be filed and retained.
o Persons with Access and Functional Needs (formerly known iter alia as Vulnerable Populations): For the purpose of this plan, Persons with Access and Functional Needs may include residents with special needs, the elderly, the infirmed and/or handicapped. including non-ambulatory residents, those who are dependent on medicines, those without viable means of transportation, those members of the community who may not be able to care for themselves in a reliable and consistent manner in the event of an emergency incident, and those without viable language skills.
Persons with Access and Functional Needs may require special assistance during an evacuation or a shelter-in-place scenario. It may be necessary to plan to provide food services to these people during emergencies that could deprive them of the means to prepare food for themselves. It is imperative that these elements of the community be identified, and a plan developed to ensure their safety and sustenance of their lifestyles during an emergency. The City will continue to work with the Carmel Foundation and other organizations to identify residents who are Persons with Access and Functional Needs. (Note: Persons with Access and Functional Needs have been or may also be called "Vulnerable Populations", "Populations at Risk" or "Special Needs Populations".
o Shelters and Shelter Operations: The designation and operation of emergency shelters is the responsibility of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea assisted by the Monterey Bay Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Red Cross personnel and volunteers are trained in shelter operations and procedures. The chapter maintains agreements with local entities such as school districts to make available specific facilities that meet shelter parameters for use as shelters during an emergency. The actual designation of facilities to be used as shelters vary over time as agreements are renewed or expire or may be situationally dependent on the emergency extant. Consequently, close liaison with the chapter will be required in order to adequately convey actual shelter requirements during an emergency. Specific shelters are not listed in this plan, and any questions regarding a current list of local available shelters should be referred to the Monterey Bay Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. (Note: The Temporary Assistance Center (TAC) will function to assist residents on a temporary basis but will not constitute a shelter. See Temporary Assistance Center {TAC), Page 16.)
See Annex P - Mass Care and Shelter for additional information. o Triage and Pre-Hospital Care: The need for triage and/or pre-hospital care could accompany most of the major emergencies/disaster situations addressed in this plan. Protocols and procedures for triage and prehospital care are found in the Monterey County Multi Casualty lnci55 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
CEOP
dent Plan promulgated by the Monterey County Emergency Medical Care Agency of the Monterey County Health Department.
o Community Emergency Response Team (CERT): The CERT is composed of a cadre of trained volunteers who can provide critical assistance during an emergency. CERT members are local residents who are familiar with the City. See Annex U - Community Emergency Response Team for specific details on capabilities, equipment, missions, and employment. o Urban Search and Rescue: The need for urban search and rescue resources could accompany many of the major emergencies/disaster situations addressed in this plan. Protocols and procedures for urban search and rescue are found in the Monterey County Operational Area Urban Search and Rescue Plan promulgated by the Monterey County Operational Area Urban Search and Rescue Team. o Environmental Health/HazMat Assessment: Should a situation dictate an environmental health/HazMat assessment, the services of the Monterey County Environmental Health Division and/or a HazMat Team should be requested and utilized.
o Mass Decontamination: The need for mass decontamination could evolve during a response to an act of terrorism stemming from a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incident. The need for mass decontamination will be determined by the Incident Commander or the Emergency Services Director in consultation with the Commander of the Hazardous Material Team present. As mass decontamination actions will be dependent on the situation and factors at hand, including but not limited to the contaminant involved, the physical location, and the resources required to conduct the decontamination, all efforts will be undertaken in a coordinated manner in consonance with existing HazMat Team and Monterey County Environmental Health Division protocols. o Emergent Volunteers: Emergent volunteers are those members of the community who volunteer to perform emergency services during an emergency incident that are not registered Disaster Services Workers.
They usually represent a host of talents and can prove indispensable to an emergency incident response. Channeling their skills and talents into viable, productive efforts can prove to be a challenge to the CEOC Staff.
Before employing emergency volunteers during an emergency, they should be registered as "Disaster Services Workers".
o Visitors/Transient Population: The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is a recognized tourist destination. The distinct ambience, charm, and personality of the City attract visitors worldwide. With over forty lodging establishments (bed and breakfasts, hotels, inns, and resorts), and more than fifty restaurants in and adjacent to the City, it is capable of hosting a siza56 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
CEOP
ble number of visitors, especially during holiday weekends and the summer season.
Emergency response operations within the City should take into consideration the fact that a large number of visitors may present a unique set of challenges. The following factors may be present or considered:
• Public information efforts should be directed towards keeping visitors, as well as citizens and residents, informed. This may require unique and inventive ways to reach the transient population. • Non-English speakers may be encountered.
• Visitors unacquainted with some local hazards (earthquakes, high/dangerous surf, and tsunamis) may tend to panic or become unduly concerned if these events occur.
• Visitors unfamiliar with the potential severity of local hazards may tend to underestimate the hazards involved and place themselves at extreme risk. • Evacuations should be undertaken with an understanding of the potential impact on City businesses. The option of shelter in place should be considered when appropriate.
o Continuity of Government (COG): Continuity of Government (COG) is the ability of the City's government to continue to function during a major emergency or disaster. Frequently associated with a pandemic emergency in which a large portion of the City's staff could be assumed to be incapacitated, for the purpose of this plan, the concept of COG will be considerable applicable to all forms of potential major emergencies or disasters. See Annex K - City of Carmel Continuity of Government Plan for further details.
o Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP): Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) relates to the City's ability to continue operations during a major emergency or disaster. Again, this function is often associated with a pandemic emergency� but could be applicable to any disaster or major emergency. For the purposes of this plan, COOP will be situationally dependent. Depending on the situation and the extent of impact, the City may elect to suspend non-essential operations and divert personnel, equipment, and resources to essential operations as necessary to sustain vital functions and protect the public. The decisions needed to accomplish these actions will be undertaken as part of the overall emergency response phase effort.

Emergency Response Operations
This plan presumes that the initial response to most, if not all, emergency incidents will be tactical in nature. To the maximum extent possible, the intent of this plan is to preserve the operational flexibility and command prerogatives of the Incident Commander illd.,. It is not the intent of this plan to inhibit or usurp these elements of command. Consequently, the tactical protocols established for the fire service, law enforcement agencies, and the emergency medical/ambulance providers will prevail.
Annex A - CEOC Positions and Duties and Annex 8 - CEOC Position Operational Checklists provide general duties and operational checklists applicable to all emergencies. Where actions or considerations unique to a specific type of emergency are warranted, they are included in Annex B.
Monterey County Operational Area Terrorism Threat Conditions Matrix The City of Carmel by-the-Sea will employ the modified Department of Homeland Security National Terrorism Advisory System {NTAS). The former Homeland Security Terrorism Threat Matrix system developed by the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services and promulgated to all jurisdictions within the Monterey County Operational Area is contained in Annex N - Monterey County Operational Area Threat Conditions Matrix. The matrix and the actions to be undertaken for various threat condition levels are delineated in checklist manner by discipline. The matrix will be used as a guide for actions to be taken during whatever threat condition is promulgated.
Special Event Planning
Special Events conducted within the City are governed by Carmel-by-the-Sea Policy No. C95-06, Short-Term Use Of Public Spaces And Municipal Buildings For Special Events. All applications for Special Events are reviewed by a "staff committee", which forwards its recommendation to the City Administrator for action. The Risk Manager (Chair). Chief of Police, and Fire Chief are standing members of the "staff committee".
Implicit in their recommendations for application/permit approval or denial will be any emergency management considerations applicable to the requested event. Germane issues of consideration may include, but are not limited to:
• Weather forecasts for the event.
• Size of the event and anticipated attendance.
• Event location/s.
• Fire, law enforcement, and emergency medical resources commensurate with event requirements.
• Any existing terrorism threat conditions or warnings. • Crowd, traffic, and access control.
• Other factors unique to the event.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Resources
• General: The timely procurement and employment of a wide variety of resources is frequently essential to ensure a successful response to a disaster or major emergency. During a disaster or major emergency, resources can be obtained from various sources, including the following:
CEOP
o Organizational Resources: These include resources owned or leased by the City and used in the course of normal business.
o Local Resources: These resources are those that can be procured from businesses and firms. Rental equipment or purchased building materials are examples of this type of resource. Resources are procured by the Logistics Section in response to specific resource requests and complete documentation is maintained to facilitate post-disaster reimbursement. The Assistant City Administrator is responsible for developing and maintaining a "Local Emergency Resource Directory". Additionally, the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services has developed an interactive Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Resource Directory {ERD) which has been provided to all members of the Monterey County Operational Area. This document is intended to complement and expand upon the Local Emergency Resource Directory and may include sources inside and outside of Monterey County.
o Mutual Aid: Mutual aid is critical to responding to major emergencies and disaster situations when the resources of a particular jurisdiction, and/or neighboring jurisdictions are overwhelmed. Mutual aid is a structured system administered by the State that allows the timely application of specific and/or unique resources to the scene of a major emergency or disaster.
Mutual aid is coordinated by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) through OES Region II or the Coastal Region (CalOES) and requested through the Monterey County Operational Area or the Local Mutual Aid Coordinator. The following emergency functions are applicable to mutual aid. Where designed, functional coordinators are identified:
• Fire and Rescue Operations. (Monterey County Operational Area Fire and Rescue Coordinator CalFire Unit Chief, San Benito-Monterey Unit.)
• Law Enforcement and Traffic Control Operations. (Monterey County Operational Area Law Enforcement Coordinator -
Monterey County Sheriffi
• Medical Operations. (Medical and Health Operational Area Coordinator (MHOAC) - Monterey County Emergency Medical Services Administrator) 78 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Public Health Operations. (Medical and Health Operational Area Coordinator (MHOAC) - Monterey County Emergency
Medical Services Administrator)
• Coroner Operations. (Monterey County Sheriff/Coroner) • Explosive Ordnance Disposal. (Monterey County Operational Area Law Enforcement Coordinator - Monterey County Sherill • Care and Shelter Operations. (Mutual Aid Region Care and Shelter Coordinator)
• Movement Operations. (Monterey County Sheriffi
• Construction and Engineering Operations. (Monterey County Director of Public Works)
• Resource and Support Operations. (Monterey County Emergency Operations Center and the Mutual Aid Region Resource Coordinator)
• Radiological Defense. (To be determined.)
The application of mutual aid is a coordinated evolution. Care should be taken to identify the specific requirement needed when requesting mutual, not the specific resource.
o Outside Resources: These resources are requested from the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center when it has been determined that they cannot be obtained from organizational or local sources available to the City. The Operational Area may be able to supply these resources from its assets or may be required to request them from State or federal sources. The Logistics Section is charged with requesting these resources and tracking them while they are employed by the City.
NIMS/SEMS/ICS procedures apply to obtaining these resources. o Emergent Resources: Usually volunteered by individuals or service organizations, these resources may be unknown until after the occurrence of the disaster and may cover a wide range. Specific authorization and complete documentation of the utilization of these resources is necessary to protect the City against claims and ensure that specific disaster service worker provisions are met.
• Resource Requests: Resource requests to the Operational Area should clearly state the need for the resource. Specifically identifying the resource should be avoided to the extent possible. As an example, if the need is to move 100 people from the City to a shelter in Carmel Valley, the request should not specify four MST buses. The resource provider will determine what resources are readily available and fill the need accordingly. In this example, ten mini-buses or eight National Guard heavy trucks may more readily fill the requirement. 79 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Conversely, if resources are ordered from a local business, the request should be as specific as possible. If the requirement exists for 10,000 sandbags and twenty tons of sand, this specific required should be delineated to the local provider and documented.
All possible efforts should be made to allow the eventual resource provider as much latitude as possible in satisfying the resource request. • Resource Management and Prioritization: Resources will be governed by the concept of single point management. The Logistics Section will be responsible for the ordering and/or procurement of all resources in order to avoid duplication or redundancy of resources requests. Likewise, the practice of "over-ordering" resources to ensure that sufficient resources are available will be avoided. Such a practice may deprive other jurisdictions of a limited supply of specific resources.
The application and procurement of resources will be governed by the following hierarchy of priorities:
Training
o Preservation of Life/Prevention of Iniury: The preservation of life/prevention of injury will be the paramount consideration during major emergencies/disasters. This priority is equally applicable to citizens and responders.
o Preservation/Protection of Property: The preservation/protection of property will be the secondary consideration during major emergencies/disasters. This priority is equally applicable to public, private, and commercial property.
o Other Applications of Resources: All other applications will be of tertiary consideration of the application of resources during a major emergency or disaster.
See Annex O - CEOC Staff and NIMS/SEMS Training Plan for training requirements and the overall City training plan.
Public Information
Keeping the public informed is critical to the success of emergency or disaster operations.
The resources available to a small city for this function are generally limited, however, effective use of the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center Public Information Section Chief/Public Information Officer can enable local efforts and support the objectives established for dissemination of event critical information. The Operational Area has a range of options capable of reaching the public and the media, as well as trained public information officers. To this end, the CEOC Public Information Section Chief/Public Information Officer will maintain close liaison with his or her counterpart in the Monterey County Operational Area EOC and promulgate emergency public information through that agency when appropriate.
80 CEOP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Additionally, the employment of local media resources should be undertaken when appropriate. Annex F - CEOC Key Points of Contact lists local resources that could be employed.
The Public Information Section/Public Information Officer will use standardized Carmel Emergency Bulletins {CARMERBULLS) and Carmel Warning Bulletins (CAR WARNBULLS) for the promulgation of disaster or emergency related information. The content of these emergency bulletins should be concise and simple. Duplicate bulletins containing the same information may be promulgated in English and Spanish if the situation warrants. It is imperative that the CEOC Public Information Section/Public Information Officer have Spanish language translation and origination capabilities whenever the CEOC is activated.
All bulletins will be provided to the media as appropriate and to all levels of the City's organization. As such, they will be used not only to inform the residents of Carmel, but also to keep all city employees informed on disaster-related matters.
Additionally, the Public Information Section/Public Information Officer will endeavor to employ all available means of social media. (Twitter, etc.) This is a rapidly evolving means of social communications that requires continual assessment to ensure its effective employment. All members of the CEOC Staff should be aware of the potential of this means of communication and provide the Public Information Section with any information that can facilitate its effective use.
See Annexes A - CEOC Positions and Duties, Annex B - Position Operational Checklists, and Annex U - Emergency Public Information (EPI) and Population Warning (PW) for further public information details.
CEOC Functional Plans and Reports
• Incident Action Plan: The CEOC Staff will develop an Incident Action Plan or IAP within two hours of activation. The Incident Action Plan will include all goals and objectives that will be pursued during the first operational period by the "Gold Team". Two hours prior to relief by the "Silver Team", the "Incident Action Plan" will be updated to reflect the current situation and include the goals and objectives to be accomplished during the second operational period by the "Silver Team". This process will continue until the CEOC is deactivated. A sample of an "Incident Action Plan" can be found in Annex H - Pre-Scripted Declarations, and Annex E - CEOC Forms & Associated Documentation {Incident Action Plan).
CEOP
o IAP Preparation and Content: The Incident Action Plan OAP) should be formulated using the Mission Statement found on Page 11 of this plan.
Preparation of the !AP will be the responsibility of the Planning Section Chief, assisted by the other Section Chiefs.
The plan should be written in simple, understandable terms, utilizing bullet point construction. All objectives pertinent to the emergency extant should be addressed. The plan can be modified and/or updated as deemed 81 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
necessary during the operational period to address emergent factors and considerations, changes in priorities, or other issues as needed. It must be stressed that to be effective and retain credibility, the !AP must be a dynamic document that utilizes the input of all involved personnel and remains abreast of the tactical situation confronting the City. All concerned should be alert to circumstances or emergent situations that would warrant address by the plan and provide input in a timely and substantive manner.
IAP Periodicity: The !AP will be updated and reissued one hour before a regularly scheduled team change.
o IAP Distribution: The IAP will be distributed to all members of the CEOC Staff and the Mayor and City Council. Further distribution will be at the discretion of the Emergency Services Director. Web EOC will be used as the primary means of distribution� however, printed copies of the plan may be distributed as needed. Copies of the IAP will be disseminated to the Mayor and City Council by whatever means they designate. • Initial Damage Estimate (IDE): An Initial Damage Estimate will be submitted to the Monterey County Operational Area EOC upon the assessment of damages within the City. Follow-up reports will be submitted as necessary to update the overall situation. A sample of an "Initial Damage Estimate" can be found in Annex E - CEOC Forms & Associated Documentation (Initial Damage Estimate Report).
o IDE Periodicity: A good rule-of-thumb is to promulgate an updated IDE whenever significant changes occur.
o IDE Distribution: The IDE will be distributed to the Monterey County Operational Area EOC and all members of the CEOC Staff via Web EOC. Copies of the IDE will be disseminated to the Mayor and City Council by whatever means they designate.
• Situation Report (SITREP): A Situation Report will be submitted to the Monterey County Operational Area EOC on a periodic basis or upon request after the commencement of a CEOC activation. The SITREP should contain sufficient detail to enable the upper levels of the emergency management structure to gain a full picture of the status of the City and of ongoing emergency response actions.
It should be unemotional and devoid of personal ideas. A sample of an "Situation Report" can be found in Annex E - CEOC Forms & Associated Documentation (Initial Damage Estimate Report).
CEOP
o SITREP Periodicity: A good rule-of-thumb is to promulgate an updated SITREP whenever significant changes occur.
o SITREP Distribution: The SITREP will be distributed to the Monterey County Operational Area EOC and all members of the CEOC Staff via Web EOC. Copies of the SITREP will be disseminated to the Mayor and City Council by whatever means they designate.
82 Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Weather Related Damage Reporting: In addition to the IDE, any weatherrelated damage will be reported separately and directly to the National Weather Service Forecast Office, San Francisco Bay Area/Monterey. This information may be reported telephonically or sent electronically and updated when appropriate. If desired, the report may be in the format of the Initial Damage Estimate.
Updates should be submitted to keep the NWS apprised of the current weatherrelated damage situation within the City. • Other reports: The need for other reports unique to the emergency extant may be required. The Planning Section Chief should be cognizant of all emerging report requirements and take appropriate action to ensure that these are fulfilled.
Demobilization and Post Incident Procedures
• Demobilization: The demobilization phase of any CEOC is as critical to the success of the emergency response as the initial activation. All actions and expenditures undertaken during the activation must be recorded and all records must be concisely closed out. Most event audits by federal and state agencies responsible for administration of disaster relief funding rely on analysis of records maintained during activation. Experience has demonstrated that valid reimbursable claims are frequently disallowed due to lack of complete and accurate records.
Demobilization is also applicable to the individual members of the CEOC Staff.
Stress levels are elevated during activations, and all concerned should be aware of the impacts an CEOC activation can have on the mental and physical well-being of assigned personnel. The use of critical stress debriefing resources should be employed as appropriate.
The overall objective of demobilization is to return the City's organization to normal operations. The concerted efforts of assigned personnel are required to ensure that all necessary details are accomplished prior to personnel being released.
The demobilization phase should establish the need for conducting and scheduling a Post Incident Review (PIR) of the CEOP activation. See the following section for PIR parameters.
• Post Incident Review (PIR): Following demobilization, a Post Incident Review (PIR) will be conducted at the discretion of the Emergency Services Director, preferably within two weeks of the event. The purpose of the PIR is to review all actions taken during the emergency and the CEOC activation to determine what strengths and/or weaknesses were encountered, and what corrective actions should be taken to eliminate any weaknesses. The PIR will be chaired by the Emergency Services Director. All members of the CEOC Staff and field personnel who participated in the emergency and/or the activation should participate in the PIR. Supporting outside agencies may be invited to attend at the discretion of the Emergency Services Manager. All participants should be encouraged to provide their candid assessment of the actions in which they participated, and their 83 CEOP

recommendations for improvement of all phases of operations. The adequacy of all emergency documentation and plans should be addressed with the intent of modifying or upgrading these documents. The Emergency Services Director will prepare a written Post Incident Review Report (PIRR), sometimes called an AfterAction Report (AAR), which will include any recommendations for improvement of operations and existing plans. At the discretion of the City Administrator/Emergency Services Director, the PIRR may be used as the basis of a post incident report to the City Council. 84 CEOP

Resource Information Management System {RIMS)
WebEOC is a web-based system employed by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services and the Monterey County Operational Area for communicating disaster related information within the emergency management infrastructure. The City has implemented WebEOC in the Carmel Emergency Operations Center (CEOC). WebEOC will be the primary means of both external and internal communications for the CEOC Staff.
Alert Monterey County System:
Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS)
In the event that evacuation of any portion of the City is required, the use of the Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS), AlertMontereyCounty.org provides the Incident Commander with a real time means of notifying residents in a specific defined area. The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea has no physical addresses which limits our ability to select a desired location within our boundaries to notify. In the event a notification is needed, the entire Carmel-by-the-Sea area (93923) will be selected and notified. Alert Monterey County, frequently referred to as a "reverse 9-1-1 system", is activated by con• tacting the Watch Supervisor at the Monterey County Emergency Communications Center or the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services. Alert Monterey County also has an opt -in way to receive alerts directly to your cell phone or email address. Incident Commanders desiring to use Alert Monterey County should have a clear picture of the area or areas by streets that need to be evacuated in order that the system can be properly programmed and activated. (See Annex F - Key Points of Contact.) (Note: Specific protocols for the implementation of Alert Monterey County that will allow direct interface with the web site by individual jurisdictions are under development. Until these protocols are promulgated, Alert Monterey County will be activated by the Emergency Communications Center Watch Supervisor by calling {831) 796-8888.) Alert Monterey County's Internal Notifications:
Alert Monterey County has an internal notification capability which can greatly assist with notification of EOC staff. The system works off an internal directory, which once entered can be utilized for rapid notifications to selected personnel.

Other Communications Resources
• Mobile APP (NextDoor):
The mobile phone App NextDoor is used by the police department to push out information. This is another way critical information can be shared with the community.
The NextDoor app is available to residents of 93921 and 93923. Although this is also an address-based notification system, NextDoor has made this app available to CBTS residents.
• Emergency Siren:
In the event of a sudden emergency, the Fire department has located on its roof an emergency siren. This is a former Air Raid siren used to summon volunteer firefighters. It is now a useful emergency alerting system should the City have the need to alert the entire community with its use. The use of the siren should be in conjunction with other alerting mechanisms to ensure communication efforts are reached throughout the City.
Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES)
Within the Monterey County Operational Area, amateur radio operators are organized under RACES. The Monterey County Operational Area Auxiliary Communications Support Officer (ACSO). Pacific Grove amateur radio operators operate under a plan dated August 1991 and approved by the Monterey County Emergency Services Manager. RACES operators utilize their own equipment and can provide fixed locations or mobile communication services. To ensure insurance coverage, operators should be registered as Disaster Service Workers. Registration is normally handled by the ACSO.
The following communications resources may be available on request:
• Satellite Trailer Communications System. This unit provides satellite telephone services and can be deployed to support an incident. It should be requested from the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services.

Agency Representative: A person assigned by a primary, assisting, or cooperating Federal, State, local, or tribal government agency or private entity that has been delegated authority to make decisions affecting that agencies or organization's participation in incident management activities following appropriate consultation with the leadership of the agency.
Area Command (Unified Area Command): An organization established (I) to oversee the management of multiple incidents that are each being handled by an JCS organization, or (2) to oversee the management of large or multiple incidents to which several Incident Management Teams have been assigned. Area Command has the responsibility to set overall strategy and priorities, allocate critical resources according to priorities, ensure that incidents are properly managed, and ensure that objectives are met, and strategies followed. Area Command becomes Unified Area Command when incidents are multi-jurisdictional. Area Command may be established at an emergency operations center facility or at some location other than an incident command post.
Assessment: The evaluation and interpretation of measurements and other information to provide a basis for decision-making.
Assignments: Tasks given to resources to perform within a given operational period that are based on operational objectives defined in the Incident Action Plan (IAP).
Assistant: Title for subordinates for principal Command Staff positions. The title indicates a level of technical capability, qualifications, and responsibility subordinate to the primary positions. Assistants may also be assigned to unit leaders.
Assisting Agency: An agency or organization providing personnel, services, or other resources to the agency with direct responsibility for incident management. See also Supporting Agency.

Intelligence Officer: The Intelligence Officer is responsible for managing internal information, intelligence, and operational security requirements supporting incident management activities. These may include security and operational security activities, as well as the complex task of ensuring that sensitive information of all types (e.g., classified information, or export-controlled information) is handled in a way that not only safeguards the information, but also ensures that it gets to those who need to use it to perform their missions effectively and safely.
Joint Information Center (JIC): A facility established to coordinate all incident-related public information activities. It is the central point of contact for all news media at the scene of the incident. Public information officials (officers) from all participating agencies should collocate at the JIC. (Author's Note: It should be anticipated that the JIC will be collocated at the Monterey County Operational Emergency Operations Center or in the vicinity thereto.)
Joint Information System (JIS): Integrates incident information and public affairs into a cohesive organization designed to provide consistent, coordinated, timely information during a crisis or incident operations. The mission of the JIS is to provide a structure and system for developing and delivering coordinated interagency messages and bulletins; developing, recommending, and executing public information plans and strategies on behalf of the IC; advising the IC concerning public affairs issues that could affect a response effort; and controlling rumors and inaccurate information that could undermine public confidence in the emergency response effort.
Jurisdiction: A range or sphere of authority. Public agencies have jurisdiction at an incident related to their legal responsibilities and authority. Jurisdictional authority at an incident can be political or geographical (e.g., city, county, tribal, State, or Federal boundary lines) or functional (e.g., law enforcement, public health).
Liaison: A form of communication for establishing and maintaining mutual understanding and cooperation.
Liaison Officer: A member of the Command Staff responsible for coordinating with representatives from cooperating and assisting agencies. (Author's Note: This responsibility can be extended to include coordinating with political leaders representing districts and/or jurisdictions containing the incident area.)

unincorporated town or village, or other public entity. See Section 2 ( I 0), Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002).
Logistics: Providing resources and other services to support incident management.
Logistics Section: The section responsible for providing facilities, services, and material support for the incident.
Major Disaster: As defined under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122), a major disaster is any natural catastrophe (including hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind-driven water (storm surge), tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought), or regardless of cause, any fire, flood, or explosion, in any part of the United States, which in the determination of the President causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance under this Act to supplement the efforts of available resources of States, tribes, local governments, and disaster relief organization in alleviating the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused thereby.
Management by Objective: A management approach that involves a four-step process for achieving the incident goal. The Management by Objectives approach includes the following elements: establishing overarching objectives; developing and issuing assignments, plans, procedures, and protocols; establishing specific, measurable objectives for various incident management functional activities and directing efforts to fulfill them, in support of defined strategic objectives; and documenting the results to measure performance and facilitate corrective action.
Mitigation: The activities designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property or to lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident. Mitigation measures may be implemented prior to, during, or after an incident. Mitigation measures are often informed by lessons learned from prior incidents. Mitigation involves ongoing actions to reduce exposure, probability of, or potential loss from hazards. Measures may include zoning and building codes, floodplain buyouts, and analysis of hazard-related data to determine where it is safe to build or locate temporary facilities. Mitigation can include efforts to educate governments, businesses, and the public on measures they can take to reduce loss and injury.
Mobilization: The process and procedures used by all organizations-Federal, State, local, tribal-for activating, assembling, and transporting all resources that have been requested to respond to or support an incident.
Multi-Agency Coordination Entity: A multi-agency coordination entity functions within a broader multi-agency coordination system. It may establish the priorities among incidents and associated resource allocations, de-conflict agency policies, and provide strategic guidance and direction to support incident management activities.

Multi-Agency Coordination System: Multi-agency coordination systems provide the architecture to support coordination for incident prioritization, critical resource allocation, communications system integration, and information coordination. The components of multi-agency coordination systems include facilities, equipment, emergency operations centers (EOCs), specific multi-agency coordination entities, personnel procedures, and communications. These systems assist agencies and organizations to fully integrate the subsystems of the NIMS.
Multi-Casualty Incident (MCI): An incident that results in multiple casualties that could task the receiving hospital's emergency response resources beyond its capacity.
No actual number is applied to an MCI, however, practical experience indicates that most responding hospital's emergency response resources will be overtasked with five or more casualties.
Multi-Jurisdictional Incident: An incident requiring action from multiple agencies that each have jurisdiction to manage certain aspects of an incident. In ICS, these incidents will be managed under a Unified Command.
Mutual Aid Agreement: Written agreement between agencies and/or jurisdictions that they will assist one another on request, by furnishing personnel, equipment, and/or expertise in a specified manner.
National: Of a national character, including the Federal, State, local, and tribal aspects of governance and policy.
National Disaster Medical System (NDMS): A cooperative, asset-sharing partnership between the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense. NDMS provides resources for meeting the continuity of care and mental health services requirements of the Emergency Support Function 8 in the Federal Response Plan.
National Incident Management System (NIMS): A system mandated by HSPD-5 that provides a consistent nationwide approach for Federal, State, local, and tribal governments, the private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity. To provide interoperability and compatibility among Federal, State, local, and tribal capabilities, the NIMS includes a core set of concepts, principles, and terminology. HSPD-5 identifies these as the JCS; multi-agency coordination systems; training; identification and management of resources (including systems for classifying types of resources); qualification and certification; and the collection, tracking, and reporting of information and incident resources.
National Response Plan: A plan mandated by HSPD-5 that integrates Federal domestic prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery plans into one all-discipline, all-hazards plan.

Non-Governmental Organization (NGO): An entity with an association that is based on interests of its members, individuals, or institutions and that is not created by a government but may work cooperatively with government. Examples of NG Os include faith-based charity organizations and the American Red Cross (ARC).
Operational Period: The time scheduled for executing a given set of operational actions, as specified in the Incident Action Plan. Operational periods can be of various lengths, although usually not over 24 hours.
Operations Section: The section responsible for all tactical incident operations. In !CS, it normally includes subordinate branches, divisions, and/or groups.
Personnel Accountability: The ability to account for the location and welfare of incident personnel. It is accomplished when supervisors ensure that JCS principles and processes are functional and that personnel are working with established incident management guidelines.
Planning Meeting: A meeting held as needed prior to and throughout the duration of an incident to select specific strategies and tactics for incident control operations and for service and support planning. For larger incidents, the planning meeting is a major element in the development of the Incident Action Plan (!AP).
Planning Section: Responsible for the collection, evaluation, and dissemination of operational information related to the incident, and for the preparation and documentation of the IAP. This section also maintains information on the current and forecasted situation and on the status of resources assigned to the incident.
Preparedness: The range of deliberated, critical tasks and activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve operational capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents.

No local government, Carmel included, can be expected to completely meet the needs of all of its citizens during the response phase of a major emergency. During the early phases of a disaster, the citizens will have to be self-sufficient. To ensure citizen preparation to the greatest possible extent, the City is establishing the volunteer position of Volunteer Coordinator within the Emergency Preparedness Working Group. This individual assists the Emergency Operation Coordinator in developing and administering volunteer assets throughout the City.
• Community Awareness Program: This provides instructional materials and training for individuals and families. The goal of this program is self-preparation.
The instruction is geared toward surviving the initial disaster and fending for yourself and family during the first 72 hours following an emergency. Along with our other public education venues, this training is provided through the fire department on a year-round basis. • Community Emergency Response Team Program: The CERT Program is intended to develop core groups within the City who are trained and equipped to provide assistance to their neighborhoods during the early phases of a major emergency.
The CERT training program is a 20-hour course. Training sessions cover disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, and team organization. The training culminates in a disaster simulation in which participants practice the skills that they learned throughout the course. The CERT course is taught in the community by first responders who have completed a CERT Train-the-Trainer course.
• Emergency Operations Center Volunteer Group: This group consists of a core of volunteers who have received advanced training in Standardized Emergency Management. This group assists the City Administrator by helping staff the Emergency Operations Center during peak times. The membership of this group includes those who possess planning and /or management oriented skills.

Annex J -Hazard Mitie;ation Plan
General
This annex provides an overview of the Hazard Mitigation Plan for the City of Carmel. It is intended to be employed prior to any disaster or major emergency incident to identify and mitigate existing or foreseen hazards.
Mitigation Plan Development
All California jurisdictions are required to develop a "Local Hazard Mitigation Plan".
This plan must be submitted via the Governor's Office of Emergency Services to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval. Carmel is a participant in the development of the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) developed for the Monterey County Operational Area.
The fundamental mitigation goals outlined in MJHMP have been systematically developed based on a comprehensive joint vulnerability analysis. As outlined, these goals are:
• Promote disaster-resistant development.
• Build and support local capacity to enable the public to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
• Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to coastal erosion. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to dam failure. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to earthquake. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to flood. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to a hazardous materials event. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to landslide. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to tsunami. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to wildland fire. • Reduce the possibility of damage and losses due to windstorms.
Users of this annex should refer to the MJHMP for specific details applicable to the City of Carmel-By-The-Sea.
Local Practical Hazard Mitigation Goals
The following local practical hazard mitigation goals have been established by the City of Carmel. They are intended to compliment and support those goals contained in the MJHMP. These goals are long term in nature, broad in scope, and are based on fundamental vulnerability assessment criteria and local findings:

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Primary Carmel Emergency Operations Center (CEOC)
The primary Carmel Emergency Operations Center (CEOC) is in the basement of the Police Station located at the southeast corner of Junipero Street and Fourth Avenue. Positions and duties of the CEOC Staff and the position operational checklists for CEOC Staff positions are contained in Annexes A and B of this plan. The communications suites and equipment required for CEOC operations are contained in Annexes C and D of this plan.
Alternate and Backup Carmel Emergency Operations Center (ACEOC) It is possible that the primary CEOC could be damaged to the point that it could be rendered unusable during certain types of disasters. Should this occur, the Fire Station located on Sixth Avenue between Mission and San Carlos Streets will be used in the event that the primary CEOC is not usable. Should both facilities be rendered inoperable, the Public Services Department Offices located at the southeast corner of Junipero Street and Fourth Avenue will be used as the Backup CEOC.
Other Locations
In the event of a catastrophic emergency or disaster that renders the above locations unavailable or inoperable, the site of the CEOC will be chosen by the Emergency Services Director.
Training and Indoctrination of Personnel
To the maximum extent possible, department heads and other key supervisors will train and indoctrinate assigned personnel in their basic department head and supervisory duties. The purpose of this policy is to provide a limited degree of capability redundancy on a hierarchical basis within each department or organization, so that in the event of the incapacitation of any supervisor, personnel are trained and will be able to fulfill, to the extent possible, the duties of the incapacitated supervisor. Training can be undertaken on a formal or informal basis, with the scope and depth being at the discretion of the supervisor.
Protection of Vital Records
In order to ensure that the City of Carmel is able to continue operate during and after a disaster or major emergency incident, the Emergency Services Director is empowered to undertake all reasonable efforts to protect vital records, including but not limited to:

Annex N - Monterey County Operational Area Terrorism
Threat Conditions Matrix
General
The Monterey County Operational Area Terrorism Threat Conditions Matrix, originated by the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services, is quoted in its entirety in this Annex. Some headings have been changed to ensure the plan's continuity of format.
Purpose and General Information
• This matrix is a locally developed extension of the federal Homeland Security Advisory System {HSAS) intended to provide recommended guidelines and a general action checklist for all levels of emergency response to guide actions during each specific Homeland Security Advisory System {HSAS) Threat Condition. The Protective Measures prescribed by the HSAS are listed at the top of each individual Threat Condition Matrix. The recommended Agency Action Checklist is intended to be generic in nature to allow all agencies within the Monterey County Operational Area to use it as a basis to develop their expanded local detailed jurisdictional action checklists.
• Additionally, the matrix is intended to provide agencies from all disciplines a clear picture as to what actions can be expected from other emergency services agencies. This is intended to enhance inter-agency operational coordination and cooperation. • The Protective Measures table of the matrix is taken directly from the Homeland Security Advisory System {HSAS). It is quoted intact and is unmodified. • The Agency Action Checklist table provides local amplification of the Protective Measures.
The items listed therein are considered a minimum level of action for the listed condition. At their discretion, agencies may institute actions from a higher threat condition while the overall situation remains at a lower threat condition. Nothing in this matrix is intended to preempt or modify the prerogatives of local jurisdictions or their representatives. Action items from higher condition levels may be undertaken at the discretion of local jurisdictions. • Checklist actions are intended to be undertaken by the cognizant agencies upon notification of any change in Threat Condition.
• This matrix was developed as a cooperative effort of the Monterey County Chief Law Enforcement Officers Association, the Monterey County Fire Chiefs Association, the Monterey County Health Department, the Monterey County Emergency Medical Services Agency, the Monterey County and Carmel Area Chapters of the American Red Cross, the Monterey County Public Works Department, the Monterey County Emergency Communications Department, the Monterey County Operational Area Coordinating Council, and the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services as a joint Monterey County Operational Area venture. • The Health heading employed in the Agency Action Checklist includes the Monterey County Health Department and its Environmental Health Division.

Annex P - Carmel (City) Beach Closure and Evacuation
Plan
General
This annex provides a general plan for the closure and evacuation of the Carmel-by-theSea (City) Beach in the event of a Tsunami Watch/Warning, Coastal Flooding Watch/ Warning, High Surf Watch/Warning, or any other natural or manmade phenomenon requiring the timely evacuation of the beach to preserve life and property The City of Carmel has established procedures for Beach Evacuation as contained herein.
Carmel (City) Beach
Carmel Beach defines the western boundary of the City and is approximately 0.9 miles in length. Bordering on Carmel Bay, it is popular with tourists and local citizens alike.
Numerous homes border and/or overlook the Beach. During periods of warm, pleasant weather and holidays, the Beach can be used by thousands in a given day. Access to the Beach is restricted to well-defined entry points and stairways. Although not known for the highest local wave sets, the Beach is popular with local surfing enthusiasts.
Concept of Operations
Several natural phenomena have the capacity to cause conditions that would warrant closure of the Carmel-By-The-Sea Beach as a protective measure to preserve life and/or property. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
• High surf conditions caused by high winds and/or storm surge. • Very high tides.
• A combination of the two conditions above.
• A tsunami.
• Pollution or contaminants in the water.
• Potentially dangerous sea life such as jellyfish or a shark attack. • Health and Safety Concerns as the result of a pandemic or natural disaster.
Alerts, watches, or warnings of these conditions may be received by the City from several sources, including:
• Emergency Bulletins from the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center.
• Emergency notifications from the Governor's Office of Emergency Services or the Coastal Region, Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

• On-scene observations by city employees or other qualified personnel.
Safety of Personnel
Emergency situations associated with the ocean can pose distinct safety risks for responding personnel as well as beachgoers. Safety will be the primary consideration in any response to an ocean emergency event. Incident Commanders should ensure that all safety precautions are in place and implemented during any response. Accountability procedures for personnel will be established prior to personnel venturing onto the Beach. Personnel will be recalled from the Beach in the event dangerous conditions threaten their safety.

Tsunami Related Considerations and Actions
While the likelihood of a tsunami impacting the City is relatively low, the potential for damage and threats to life could conceivably go beyond the immediate Beach. Depending on the forecast height of "run-up" of the tsunami, evacuation of homes and structures immediately inland from the Beach may be warranted. Careful consideration should be given by the Director of Public Safety and/or the Incident Commander to the details of the tsunami warning to ascertain the height of "run-up". "Run-up" is defined as the height above sea level expressed in feet that tsunami generated waves will reach. If a "run-up" of twenty feet is predicted, it would be prudent to evacuate all areas and structures less than twenty feet above sea level.
Most tsunamis that have affected the Monterey Peninsula area have been generated by earthquakes occurring in the Aleutian Island area of Alaska, the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Southern Oregon Coast, or off the Chilean Coast of South America. Tsunami warnings that result from earthquakes in these areas usually provide amble time to generate warnings and to take protective actions. Tsunamis generated in these areas will take several hours to reach the Monterey Bay Area.
However, earthquakes that could occur offshore in Monterey Bay will not permit sufficient time to provide a warning. Any tsunami generated by this type of event could reach the shoreline in a matter of minutes. Should a strong earthquake be felt in the City, immediate action would be warranted to evacuate the Beach. Should waters offshore of the Beach be observed to recede to an unusually low level, this is a strong indication of an impending tsunami. Immediate evacuation of the Beach should be undertaken as quickly as possible.
Tsunami Run-up Maps are contained in the Monterey County Tsunami Incident Response Plan (TIRP). The maps provide areas that would be inundated by a O to 5 meter run-up, and that would be inundated by a 5 to 10 meter run-up. The maps indicate that the majority of the impacts of events of these magnitudes will be contained on the beach below the surrounding bluffs.
In addition to the actions indicated above, the following additional tsunami actions will be taken in the event a tsunami warning is received:
• On-Duty Police Watch Commander:

ANNEXP
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
o Ascertain the expected arrival time of the tsunami and the height of "runup". o Provide this information to the Director of Public Safety as soon as possible. • Director of Public Safety:
o Determine if an evacuation beyond the Beach is warranted. o Direct the evacuation of all structures and areas up to the predicted "runup" height. • Fire Chief:
o Assist in the evacuation process.
• Director of Public Works:
o Assist in the evacuation process.
o Provide transportation of vulnerable populations.
• Assistant City Administrator:
o Open and staff the Temporary Assistance Center (TAC). • Carmel Area Chapter of the American Red Cross:
o Assist in the evacuation process.
o Provide transportation of vulnerable populations.
o Assist with staffing the Temporary Assistance Center (TAC).
In the event a strong earthguake is felt in the City, the following immediate actions will be taken:
• On-Duty Police Watch Commander:
o Ascertain the location and magnitude of the earthquake. o If the earthquake is offshore and of a magnitude of 6.0 or greater, dispatch an on-duty patrolman to the Beach to observe for any unusual sea changes. o Provide this information to the Director of Public Safety as soon as possible. • Director of Public Safety:
ANNEXP
o As a precaution and until information has been received that a tsunami has not been generated, direct the evacuation of the Beach and all structures and areas up to a "run-up" height of twenty feet.

Beach Closure Evacuation Routes
Evacuations are normally situationally dependent and may be designated by the Incident Commander. However, for the purpose of expeditiously evacuating the Beach, the following streets are considered pre-designated evacuation routes:
• Ocean Avenue eastward.
• Second Avenue eastward.
• Fourth A venue eastward.
• North San Antonio A venue northward to Second or Fourth A venue. • North San Antonio Avenue southward to Ocean Avenue.
• Eighth Avenue eastward.
• Thirteenth A venue eastward.
• Santa Lucia Avenue eastward.
• Scenic Road to Thirteenth Avenue and Santa Lucia Avenue southward. (Scenic Road south of Santa Lucia Avenue is not recommended as an evacuation route.) Other streets or routes may be designated at the discretion of the Director of Emergency Services or the Incident Commander.
See Annex R- General City Evacuation Plan for evacuation procedures for inland portions of the City or the entire City.
Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS)
In the event that evacuation of residences located east of the Beach is required, the use of the Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) provides the Incident Commander with a real time means of notifying residents in a specific defined area. The TENS, frequently referred to as a "reverse 9-1-1 system", is activated by contacting the Watch Supervisor at the Monterey County Emergency Communications Center or the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services. Incident Commanders desiring to use TENS should have a clear picture of the area or areas by streets that need to be evacuated in order that the system can be properly programmed and activated. (See Annex F - Key Points of Contact.) (Note: Specific protocols for the implementation of TENS that will allow direct interface with the web site by individual jurisdictions are under development.
Until these protocols are promulgated, TENS will be activated by the Emergency Communications Center Watch Supervisor by calling (831) 796-8888.) THIS AREA INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Annex O - CEOC Staff and NIMS/SEMS Training Plan
General
The key to gaining and retaining a viable emergency response posture is training of all associated personnel within the context of NIMS/SEMS requirements and maintaining a high level of overall effectiveness. To this objective, the City is committed to training its personnel and maintaining their levels of training through the use of general training, training exercises, and personal NIMS/SEMS training. The annex documents the types of training to be employed and the requisite training for each category of personnel involved in an emergency or disaster.
Training Events/Exercises
To ensure proficiency and continuity in emergency management operations, the City of Carmel will hold quarterly emergency training exercises/evolutions. Specific objectives to be accomplished in any training event will be established prior to approval of the training. Training events will take one of the following forms:
• General Training Event: An instructional event designed to inform members of the CEOC Staff in operational, functional, and policy matters. • Tabletop Exercise (TTX): A tabletop exercise is a structured discussion using a specific disaster or major emergency scenario. Individual CEOC staff members discuss or amplify the actions they will take in response to specific "action points" used to develop the scenario. The TTX is self contained with no role playing by participants. All participants are welcome and encouraged to provide input on specific action points. The TTX is a cost-effective way of training CEOC staff members, and can be employed as a precursor for more complex training events. The stress level created by a TTX is relatively low. • Functional Exercise (FNX): A functional exercise involves the CEOC Staff playing their roles in the EOC in response to external stimuli or simulated communications. A scenario with progressive occurrences is employed. Internal and external lines of communications are exercised. Monitors are employed to evaluate the CEOC's functionality, to keep the exercise on track, and to act out roles.
An externally located "Simulation Team" is employed to provide the stimuli and communications. This type of event is more complex and usually runs in excess of two hours to achieve all objectives. The stress level created by a FNX is significantly higher than that created by a TTX. • Full Scale Exercise (FSX): A full scale exercise is similar in concept to a FNX, but adds the dimension of moving and employing resources in the field. For the City of Carmel, this would likely involve the movement of fire, law, and public works assets. A FNX can be personnel and cost intensive, thus the periodicity of Q-1

Annex R - General City Evacuation Plan
General
This annex provides general evacuation procedures for use in evacuating portions of the City or the entire City.
Evacuations and Related Assumptions
The definitions of evacuation categories are contained in the basic plan under Potential Threats - Evacuations.
In the event of a potential evacuation, the following parameters or factors will likely exist:
• The likelihood of an evacuation within the City is remote. • Any circumstances that might require an evacuation will present a significant threat to life and property and may be catastrophic.
• The CEOC will be activated.
• Any decision to evacuate will be made by the Emergency Services Director in concert with key members of the CEOC Staff.
• Any evacuation will need to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges. • Evacuations will be situationally dependent and routes other than those specified herein may be designated and employed by the Incident Commander.
Designated Operational Area Evacuation Routes
The following designated Operational Area Evacuation Routes are directly applicable to any evacuation occurring in the City of Carmel-by-Sea:
• Highway 1 northbound and southbound.
• Rio Road eastbound as access to Carmel Valley Road.
• Carmel Valley Road eastbound.
• Carpenter Avenue northeastward to Highway I.
City Evacuation Routes
Evacuations are normally situationally dependent and may be designated by the Incident Commander. However, for the purpose of expeditiously evacuating the City, the following streets/avenues are considered pre-designated evacuation routes:
• Ocean Avenue eastward to Highway 1.
• Junipero Avenue northward to Third Avenue, to Santa Fe, to Second Avenue, to Carpenter, to Highway l.

• Junipero A venue to Serra A venue to Carpenter A venue. • Junipero Avenue southward to Rio Road.
• Fourth Avenue eastward to Junipero Avenue.
• North San Antonio A venue northward to Carmel Way to Seventeen Mile Drive. • North San Antonio Avenue southward to Ocean Avenue.
• Eighth Avenue eastward to Junipero Avenue.
• Thirteenth Avenue eastward to connect with Junipero Avenue. • Santa Lucia Avenue eastward to Junipero Avenue.
• Scenic Road to Thirteenth Avenue and Santa Lucia Avenue southward. (Scenic Road south of Santa Lucia Avenue is not recommended as an evacuation route.) Other streets or routes may be designated at the discretion of the Director of Emergency Services or the Incident Commander.
See Annex P - Carmel (City) Beach Closure and Evacuation Plan for evacuation procedures for the Beach.
Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS)
In the event that evacuation of any portion of the City is required, the use of the Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) provides the Incident Commander with a real time means of notifying residents in a specific defined area. The TENS, frequently referred to as a "reverse 9-1-1 system", is activated by contacting the Watch Supervisor at the Monterey County Emergency Communications Center or the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services. Incident Commanders desiring to use TENS should have a clear picture of the area or areas by streets that need to be evacuated in order that the system can be properly programmed and activated. (See Annex F - Key Points of Contact.) (Note: Specific protocols for the implementation of TENS that will allow direct interface with the web site by individual jurisdictions are under development. Until these protocols are promulgated, TENS will be activated by the Emergency Communications Center Watch Supervisor by calling (831) 796-8888.)

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Annex S - Mass Care and Shelter
General
This annex provides the organizational and operational policies and procedures for mass care and shelter operations within the City. These are intended to meet the requirements for feeding, clothing, and shelter needs of people on a mass care basis during major natural disasters, technological incidents, and war-related emergencies. It also cites authorities and specifies the public and private organizations responsible for providing mass care and welfare inquiry services.
The responsibility for first level emergency mass care and shelter is mandated by California law as resting with the local level. Local governments/jurisdictions are required to provide temporary or emergency shelters for people made homeless by a natural disaster or manmade emergency. This is consistent with NIMS and SEMS guidance. Federal mandate directs that the American Red Cross function as the mass care and shelter management agent for emergency operations.
Traditionally, the awareness of local jurisdictions regarding the mass care and shelter operations was that it was in the province of local American Red Cross (ARC} Chapter or the local Salvation Army (SA) organization. Contemporary planning accepts that a major emergency or disaster could easily overwhelm the resources and staffing of these nonprofit agencies, rendering sustained mass care and shelter operations as untenable and unresponsive. Consequently, planning for and the implementation of mass care and shelter operations is now considered a joint effort involving the local jurisdiction and the aforementioned non-profit agencies.
Role of the American Red Cross (ARC)
The American Red Cross, as mandated by Federal Law 36-USC-3 and reaffirmed in Public Law 93-288 (Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974), provides disaster relief in peacetime.
At the state level, the statement of Operational Relationships between the American Red Cross and Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CALOES) and the Memorandum of Understanding between the American Red Cross and the California Department of Social Services establish the operating relationships between these agencies. The major care and shelter responsibilities of the Red Cross in the emergency period are included in the Statement of Operational Relationships and reiterated below.
By definition, emergency mass care includes providing:
• Emergency lodging for disaster victims in public or private buildings. • Food and clothing for persons in emergency mass care facilities. • Food for disaster workers if normal commercial feeding facilities are not available. • Registration and inquiry service.
ANNEXS
S-1
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• A means to reunite family members.
To accomplish these services, the Red Cross acts cooperatively with state and local governments and other private relief organizations to provide emergency mass care to persons affected by disasters, in peacetime. There is no legal mandate for Red Cross involvement in a State of War Emergency. However, by decision of Chapter Boards of Directors, the Red Cross Chapter Disaster Committees in California may, if incorporated into the civil defense (war emergency) plans of political subdivisions, serve as a component of civil defense to assist with emergency mass care operations.
Overall Obiectives
The overall objectives of mass care and shelter operations are to:
• Identify predetermined locations for shelters.
• Determine organizations which have the capability to assist in the care and shelter operations.
• Provide an organizational infrastructure to allow the expeditious and responsive transition to mass care and shelter operations in support of evacuation operations. • Provide food, clothing, shelter, and other basic necessities of life, on a mass care basis, to persons unable to provide for themselves as a result of a disaster. • Provide an inquiry service to reunite separated families or respond to inquiries from relatives and friends outside the affected areas.
• Assure an orderly transition from mass care operations and return to separate family living.
• Establish an orderly process to demobilize shelter operations during post-disaster recovery.
Periods and Phases of Mass Care and Shelter Operations
Mass care and shelter operations will usually be associated with the periods and phases indicated below. Emergency response actions associated with the various types of emergencies will be incident specific and will be determined by the numbers of people requiring assistance.
• Pre-Emergency Period: The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
o Normal Preparedness Phase: During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing and updating supporting plans, Standing Operating Procedures (SOP), call-out lists of professional and volunteer personnel, and resource lists. Plans and procedures will provide for coordination and communication channels with counterpart agencies and organizations of other jurisdictions. Volunteers will be trained, and disaster plans will be exercised.
S-2
ANNEXS
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Because the onset of some disasters can occur with little or no warning, possible sites for shelter and mass feeding should be pre-selected, and listings should be included in the matrix contained in this annex. Agreements should be concluded with appropriate persons, such as managers or owners of hotels or restaurants. Arrangements and agreements for provision of required resources and supplies should also be made in this period. o Increased Readiness Phase: This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of a flood, or a rapidly deteriorating international situation that could lead to a possible attack upon the United States. Increased readiness actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs, call-out and resource lists, and accelerating training.
Available resources will be mobilized and volunteers alerted. • Emergency Period: The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
o Pre-Impact Phase: Most actions to be accomplished during the pre-impact phase would be precautionary and would be centered on taking appropriate countermeasures to protect people should the jurisdiction be impacted by an event such as a slow-rising flood, a health-endangering hazardous material incident, or nuclear attack. If it is the type of disaster that requires mass care, shelters and feeding facilities will be opened, manned, and supplied.
The Local Care and Shelter Coordinator, alternate or other designee, and a representative of the Red Cross will report either to a 24-hour dispatch facility located in or immediately adjacent to the affected area or to the Carmel-by-the-Sea Emergency Operating Center (CEOC) if it has been activated. Detailed information on shelter and feeding facilities will be disseminated to the public through the Public Information Officer (PIO). o Immediate Impact Phase: If there has been ample warning, shelter, feeding, and other care services will have begun outside the threatened area.
However, should an area that was perceived to be safe by impacted, some relocates may have to be transported to another lodging facility, and feeding operations may have to be transferred to another site.
If the disaster occurs without warning, local officials and the Local Care and Shelter Coordinator, in conjunction with the Red Cross need to assess the requirements for shelter and mass feeding. They must also determine which of the pre-selected facilities may have become inaccessible, damaged, or destroyed, and which are still available for mass care. As normal communications facilities may not be functioning, other means (such as amateur radio operators, CERTs or person-to-person contact) may have to be used to communicate with shelter managers and other mass care personnel.
Most emergency personnel, however, will be expected to report to pre-assigned duty stations. Obtaining appropriate supplies and resources and distributing them to the specified sites may require improvising solutions and S-3

deviating somewhat from the original plan. In the case of a major disaster, shelter may be required outside the local area and provided through mutual aid channels. In addition, temporary feeding services may be requested to be provided by state agencies and the military.
o Sustained Emergency Phase: In the Sustained Emergency Phase, it may be possible for some displaced persons to be moved to improved quarters, such as hotels, or even to return to their homes. However, shelter, mass feeding, and welfare inquiry services will continue until they are no longer required.
• Post-Emergency Period (Recovery): In the Post-Emergency Period, most of the basic needs of the population will have been provided, and, if the disaster was large, the federal and state governments will have become heavily involved in providing financial aid to victims. Disaster Assistance Centers (DACs) or Temporary Assistance Centers (TA Cs) will be set up to coordinate the delivery of these services.
Local officials and private agencies still have responsibility for phasing out the mass care facilities and assisting displaced persons in obtaining temporary housing and other aid.
Organizational Responsibilities
This section provides an overview of the statewide care and shelter organization down to the Care and Shelter Coordinator at the local level and shows the source of management personnel. The responsibilities of Care and Shelter Coordinators at the Local. Operational Area, and Mutual Aid Region levels, the State Care and Shelter Director, supporting state agencies, and the private sector are discussed herein.
• Local Care and Shelter Coordinator: The Local Care and Shelter Coordinator has the responsibility for coordinating local government resources, requesting and responding to mutual aid forces, and providing support to the Red Cross. For peacetime disasters, the Coordinator should ensure that the head of the local government has signed the proclamation designating the Red Cross as the official disaster relief agency and make arrangements with other private organizations, such as the Salvation Army and the Mennonites to assist in care and shelter. If there is no local Red Cms_s chapter or other private organization in the immediate area to open and operate mass care facilities immediately after impact, the Local Care and Shelter Coordinator should have plans to perform this function until private organizations arrive on the scene. • State of California: The Director of the State Department of Social Services will serve as the State Director of Care and Shelter and will have the overall responsibility for coordinating statewide care and shelter operations and support requirements.
The California Department of Social Services is responsible for:
S-4
ANNEXS
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
o Serving as the lead agency in coordinating state agency care and shelter response to support local operations. o Providing departmental personnel and other resources to function in Disaster Assistance Centers upon request of the California Director of Emergency Services. o Coordinating the capabilities of County Social Services Departments (or similar agencies) to respond to the disaster.
o Recommending interregional transfer of evacuees or resources to equalize distribution of the evacuee case loads. • Federal Government: Federal support for care and shelter operations will be provided once a Presidential Declaration has been signed. Additional assistance following a Presidential Declaration will be coordinated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency {FEMA).
• Business and Industry: Business and industry with personnel and resources needed to meet emergency requirements will be identified and utilized by local emergency organizations. In the case of care and shelter, voluntary agreements may be made with hotel, motel, or restaurant owners to use their personnel and facilities.
Shelter Designation
The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea, in partnership with the Monterey Bay Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, will designate specific shelter sites to serve evacuees of the City. An unpublished listing of all designated shelters will be maintained by the Chapter and the City, and updated on an annual basis. Designation will be accomplished through use of "shelter agreements" provided by the National Headquarters, ARC. Shelters may or may not be located within the confines of Carmel-by-the-Sea, and may be designated in conjunction with neighboring jurisdictions. Sheltering designation and activation will be coordinated with adjoining jurisdictions.
Mass Care and Shelter Operations
Under most circumstances, the City and/or the Chapter will open and operate the shelters with trained volunteers. However, in some circumstances such as a widespread disaster or major emergency, the City may be required to augment Chapter staffing, or operate shelters with its own resources. The use of volunteers from community service organizations is an option for augmenting Chapter staffing. The use of emergent volunteers who have not been screened as emergency services workers is not recommended.
Shelter operations are intended to be temporary in nature and provide mass care on a basic life support level. Facilities that have the capacity to provide this minimal level of support are selected for this purpose. The following elements and planning considerations are germane:
S-5
ANNEXS
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• The capability to provide simple but wholesome mass feeding of evacuees. • The capability to provide drinking water to evacuees. • The capability to provide basic sanitary facilities to evacuees. • The capability to provide rest facilities for evacuees. This can include cots, pads, and blankets.
• The capability to provide internal and external security to evacuees. • If available, the capability to provide shower facilities to evacuees. • In large disasters, all suitable buildings, other than those being used for other emergency functions, may be used for lodging. • Schools are the most preferred facilities for lodging, as they are public facilities and can accommodate a large number of persons. Churches are also appropriate, as they are often large and often have feeding facilities on the premises. • Arrangements should be made in advance with owners or managers of many facilities for use in large disasters and after small disasters that require a number of different sites. Arrangements should also be made during a disaster, if possible, for backup shelter should the threat change location (for example, a wind shift after a hazardous material spill).
• In large disasters, commercial lodging facilities such as motels and hotels should be reserved for the infinn that require above average comforts and conveniences. • It is imperative that the list of lodging facilities be kept up-to-date. • When possible, most of the lodging operations will be perfonned by personnel normally associated with the facility. In large disasters, the relocates themselves, under the supervision of the facility manager are expected to assist with many, if not most, of the operations.
• Pets may not be allowed in some lodging facilities but will be cared for in animal shelters or veterinarians' facilities. Coordination should be undertaken with the Monterey County SPCA, or other organizations capable of providing shelter for pets.
• Only minimal health needs will be attended to in lodging facilities. If possible, sick persons or those with specific medical support needs will be transferred to medical facilities or facilities that can provide the specific care needed.
Feeding Operations
The following considerations are germane to planning and conducting feeding operations:
• In peacetime emergencies, plans will be made for mobile feeding, to include feeding at the scene of the disaster; providing refreshment services at hospital waiting S-6
ANNEXS
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERA TJONS PLAN
rooms, morgues, and places where disaster victims and emergency workers congregate; and delivering food to persons in isolated areas. • In most disasters, it is expected that a central facility will be set up for mass feeding and that most of the feeding operations will be per formed by personnel associated with that facility. Where possible, the owners or managers of feeding establishments will manage the mass feeding operations. • Mass feeding schedules will be provided to Lodging Facility Managers. • Special diets will be provided as required.
• Arrangements will be made with 24-hour restaurants and fast food outlets to provide supplies of food initially, until mass feeding operations can be organized. • Government-provided food will be obtained, if possible, and food supplies donated in bulk should be used to the extent possible.
Movement Operations
See Annex T - Transportation and Movement for movement operations.
Temporary Assistance Center (TAC)
The Temporary Assistance Center (TAC) will be situated in the Carmel Youth Center, located next to the Police Department, and will be used to provide citizens with initial information and assistance fol lowing their evacuation from their neighborhood. The TAC will also serve as the primary "evacuation collection point" or "ECP" for evacuees. Other evacuation collection points may be designated as the situation dictates. Evacuees will remain at the TAC only until they can be assigned to and transported to a shelter, or allowed to return to their homes. The lobby of the Carmel Police Department can also be used as a Temporary Assistance Center and should be considered if the need is for a small population. Starting the TAC in the lobby of the Police Department will also assist with knowing the need for a full activation of the Carmel Youth Center as a TAC.
People with Access and Functional Needs (Previously Known as Vulnerable Populations/Populations at Risk/Special Needs Populations) The requirement to accommodate and evacuate persons with access and functional needs is exacerbated during a major emergency or disaster situation. Evacuation operations need to consider and be prepared to handle a wide variety of special needs from all segments of the community. Caring for the elderly, people who are medicine dependent, or citizens with mobility challenges are generally accepted as commonplace. However, emergency responders should be prepared for other special needs as well. These could include, but are not limited to:
• People with illnesses that render them immobile or bedridden. • Those who are unable to adequately care for themselves.
S-7
ANNEXS
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Attachment 2
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• People dependent on special life support equipment, including oxygen. • People who are medicine dependent and not able to medicate themselves without assistance.
• People with mental illnesses who may not be cooperative with responders. • Dementia patients.
• People in or not in shock who cannot accept the change in their status quo, and who may become highly emotional of leaving their personal surroundings.
Consistent with legal rulings and protocols, the City will endeavor to maintain a registry of all persons (households) that meet the definition of a "people with access and functional needs". This can be accomplished with the assistance of the ARC or other community based/service organizations, or by voluntary registration of residents themselves. All persons with access and functional needs are encouraged to participate in the registry. When evacuations are anticipated or being undertaken, registry information will be provided to first responders by the CEOP Staff.
First responders who are charged with evacuating a person or persons with access and functional needs are responsible for notifying the shelter management as soon as possible of the specifics applicable to the evacuee.
Handling of Mass Care and Shelter Operations During a Catastrophe In the event of a catastrophic emergency, the City may elect to implement the following plans in coordination with the Monterey County Operational Area:
• Regional Catastrophic Interim Housing Plan,
• Regional Catastrophic Mass Care and Sheltering Plan,
• Monterey County Catastrophic Earthquake Mass Care and Sheltering Plan/Interim Housing Plan
Designation of Mass Care and Shelter Facilities
The City and the Monterey Bay Area Chapter of the American Red Cross (ARC) will maintain an unpublished listing of all shelter agreements and associated shelter facilities.
The activation and use of any mass care and shelter facility will be situationally dependent on the nature and location of the emergency, the number of evacuees, and other factors extant. The locations of shelters will be announced by the Carmel-by-the-Sea Emergency Operations Center in conjunction with supporting agencies, neighboring jurisdictions as appropriate, and the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services/Emergency Operations Center.

Planning Guidance and Future Considerations
As a result of recent major disasters in which the care and shelter of evacuees did not meet contemporary emergency management standards, it is anticipated that this area of emergency response will continue to receive planning attention from the operational area, state, and federal levels. As such, additional requirements and/or planning guidance may be forthcoming. Those responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the plan and this annex need to diligent in monitoring guidance related developments at all functional levels.
As Monterey Peninsula jurisdictions continue to pursue forms of service and emergency management consolidation, the protocols delineated in this annex could change. It is anticipated that the issue of mass care, movement, and shelter will be a critical element to be addressed during any future consolidation of service consultations.

• Identify persons or populations needing transportation and movement. • Determine organizations which have the capability to assist in transportation and movement operations. • Provide an organizational infrastructure to allow the expeditious transportation and movement of evacuees to designed assistance centers and/or shelters. • Assist in the orderly transition from mass care and shelter operations by returning evacuees to their family dwellings.
Periods and Phases of Mass Care and Shelter Operations
Transportation and movement operations will usually be associated with the periods and phases indicated below. Emergency response actions associated with the various types of emergencies will be incident specific and will be determined by the numbers of people requiring assistance. • Pre-Emergency Period: The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
o Normal Preparedness Phase: During this phase� emphasis will be placed on preparing and updating supporting plans, Standing Operating Procedures (SOP), callout lists of professional and volunteer personnel> and resource lists. Plans and procedures will provide for coordination and communication channels with counterpart agencies and organizations of other jurisdictions. Volunteers will be trained, and disaster plans will be exercised.
Because the onset of some disasters can occur with little or no warning, possible means and resources should be pre-selected. Agreements should be concluded with appropriate transportation providers.
o Increased Readiness Phase: This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of a winter storm or flood, or a rapidly deteriorating international situation that could lead to a possible attack upon the United T-1

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
States. Increased readiness actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs, call-out and resource lists, and accelerating training. Available resources will be mobilized and volunteers alerted.
• Emergency Period: The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
o Pre-Impact Phase: Most actions to be accomplished during the pre-impact phase would be precautionary and would be centered on taking appropriate countenneasures to protect people should the jurisdiction be impacted by an event such as a slow-rising flood, a health-endangering hazardous material incident, or nuclear attack. If it is the type of disaster that requires mass care, shelters and feeding facilities will be opened, manned, and supplied. The Transportation Branch will develop plans to ensure the timely and orderly transportation of those persons needing shelter and/assistance from their residences or collection points to designated shelters. o Immediate Impact Phase: Depending on the type of emergency involved, it should be anticipated that the need for transportation and movement operations will be evident almost immediately following the initial impact and increase exponentially thereafter. Plans should consider this factor. o Sustained Emergency Phase: In the Sustained Emergency Phase, it may be possible for some displaced persons to be moved to improved quarters, such as hotels, or even to return to their homes. However, shelter, mass feeding, and welfare inquiry services will continue until they are no longer required. Transportation and movement operations should anticipate "on-demand transportation requirements" to fulfill these needs.
• Post-Emergency Period (Recovery): In the Post-Emergency Period, most of the basic needs of the population will have been provided, and, if the disaster was large, the federal and state governments will have become heavily involved in providing financial aid to victims. Disaster Assistance Centers (DACs), Temporary Assistance Centers (TACs), and temporary Department of Motor Vehicles Assistance Centers will/may be set up to coordinate the delivery of these services. The City may find that it is necessary to arrange transportation of affected persons to and from these centers.
Movement Operations
The movement of evacuees and those persons potentially requiring shelter is the province of "movement operations", and normally executed by the Transportation Branch. Of necessity, these operations must be responsive, timely, be capable of handling relatively large numbers of evacuees, and consider the special needs of the evacuees. Options available to accomplish these operations include, but are not limited to:
• Employment of commercial transportation assets, including Monterey-Salinas Transport (MST) buses, and local taxi companies.
• Employment of school bus assets, including Carmel Unified School District (CUSD) and other local school district assets.
• Service/volunteer organizations with transportation assets, including the ARC.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
• Military assets, including those from Presidio of Monterey (POM). • Mutual aid assets. (Various organizations could be employed to provide transportation services, including, but not limited to, activated National Guard and Army Reserve units.) • Local ambulance assets, including units from AMR, MRCFD, and CF A, and other medical transportation assets.
• Volunteer assets provided by hospitality/resort establishments with transportation capabilities. • Emergent volunteer assets, including ad hoc transportation arrangements.
Under most emergency circumstances, the shelter operations generate the need for "movement operations" in order to transport a large number of evacuees from their places of residence or from "evacuation collection points" to the shelter facilities. It should be anticipated that "movement operations" and "shelter operations" will complement each other during an actual evacuation. The prior coordination of "movement operations" with shelter operators is essential to ensure that evacuees are treated with consideration and that the shelter operations are not inundated with more evacuees than can be handled in a safe and caring manner. The coordination of evacuation driven "movement operations" and public information is essential to safe and effective operations. "Movement operations" in support of an evacuation within the City may not be confined to the City. Shelters may be designated in neighboring cities or locales, and shelters for evacuees with special needs may be designated to consolidate those evacuees in specialized facilities more suited to care for their needs.
Temporary Assistance Center (TAC)
The Temporary Assistance Center (TAC) will be situated in the Carmel Youth Center, located next to the Police Department, and will be used to provide citizens with initial information and assistance following their evacuation from their neighborhood. The TAC will also serve as the primary "evacuation collection point" or "ECP" for evacuees. Other evacuation collection points may be designated as the situation dictates. (See Annex S-Regarding the Carmel Police Department Lobby as a potential TAC). Evacuees will remain at the TAC only until they can be assigned to and transported to a shelter, or allowed to return to their homes.
People with Access and Functional Needs (Previously Known as Vulnerable Populations/Populations at Risk/Special Needs Populations) The requirement to accommodate, evacuate, and transport persons with access and functional needs is exacerbated during a major emergency or disaster situation. Evacuation operations need to consider and be prepared to handle a wide variety of special needs from all segments of the community. Caring for the elderly, people who are medicine dependent, or citizens with mobility challenges are generally accepted as commonplace. However, emergency responders and transportation providers should be prepared for other special needs as well. These could include, but are not limited to:
• People with illnesses that render them immobile or bedridden.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
• Those who are unable to adequately care for themselves. • People dependent on special life support equipment. including oxygen. • People with mental illnesses who may not be cooperative with responders. • Dementia patients.
• People in or not in shock who cannot accept the change in their status quo, and who may become highly emotional of leaving their personal surroundings.
Consistent with legal rulings and protocols, the City will endeavor to maintain a registry of all persons (households) that meet the definition of a "people with access and functional needs". This can be accomplished with the assistance of the ARC or other community based/service organizations, or by voluntary registration of residents themselves. All persons with access and functional needs are encouraged to participate in the registry. When evacuations are anticipated or being undertaken, registry information will be provided to first responders and transportation providers by the CEOP Staff.
First responders and transportation providers who are charged with evacuating and transporting a person or persons with access and functional needs are responsible for notifying the shelter management as soon as possible of the specifics applicable to the evacuee.
Handling of Transportation and Movement Operations during a Catastrophe In the event of a catastrophic emergency, the City may elect to implement the following plans in coordination with the Monterey County Operational Area:
• Monterey County Catastrophic Mass Transportation/Evacuation Plan.

Annex U - Emere;ency Public Information (EPI) and Population Warnine; (PW) General
This annex provides the organizational and operational policies and procedures for Emergency Public Information (EPI) and Population Warning (PW) operations prior to, during, and following a major emergency or disaster. For the purposes of this plan, these two functions are interrelated, and are addressed in this annex as such. These policies and procedures are intended to meet the requirements for informing people during major natural disasters, technological incidents, and war-related emergencies. It also cites authorities and specifies the public and private organizations that could provide assistance for transportation and movement services.
The responsibility for first level emergency public information and population warning rests with the local level, supported by the operational area and federal agencies. Local governments/jurisdictions should be prepared to disseminate initial emergency public information and population warnings and to coordinate their efforts with those of the operational area and federal authorities The CEOC has a variety of outreach messages; listed below; however, its primary messaging system will be through the Everbridge System operated by the County Office of Emergency Services (COES). This system is primarily known as AlertMontereyCounty.org. Additionally, the City of Carmel still maintains the use of an Air raid siren on the roof of the Fire Station. If an emergency required the immediate alerting of as many residents as possible, the siren could be a considered method of notification by the EOC staff.
Emergency Public Information Policies and Mission
Keeping the public informed is critical to the success of emergency or disaster operations; this is the fundamental mission of the City's Emergency Public Information effort. The criticality of this function during a major emergency or disaster is vital to an effective emergency response, a sustainable recovery effort, and should not be underestimated. With this in mind, the overriding consideration of the City's Emergency Public Information effort will be to maintain a viable level of accurate and timely public information directed to the residents and guests of the City.
The resources available to a small city for this function are generally limited, however, effective use of the Monterey County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center Public Information Section Chief/Public Information Officer or a Joint Information Center established by the Operational Area or higher authority can enable local efforts and support the objectives established for dissemination of event critical information. The Operational Area has a range of options capable of reaching the public and the media, as well as trained public information officers. To this end, the CEOC Public Information Section Chief/Public Information Officer will maintain close liaison with Operational Area EOC and promulgate information through that agency when appropriate.
The Public Information Section/Public Information Officer will use standardized Carmel Emergency Bulletins (CEMERBULLS) or Carmel Warning Bulletins (CARWARNBULLs) for the U-1

promulgation of disaster or emergency related information to the media and public respectively, through all available means, including Alert Monterey and other systems and methods. (See examples at end of this annex.) The content of these emergency bulletins should be concise and simple. Duplicate bulletins containing the same information may be promulgated in English and Spanish if the situation warrants. It is imperative that the CEOC Public Information Section/Public Information Officer have Spanish language translation and origination capabilities whenever the CEOC is activated.
All CEMERBULLS will be provided to the media as appropriate and to all levels of the city's organization. As such, they will be used not only to inform the residents of Carmel, but also to keep all city employees informed on disaster-related matters.
See Annexes A - CEOC Positions and Duties, Annex 8 - Position Operational Checklists, and Annex H- Pre-Scripted Declarations, Carmel Emergency Bulletins, and Media Releases for further public information details.
Population Warning Policies and Mission
For the purposes of this plan, Population Warning (PW) will be considered a critical function of Emergency Public Information. While it can be anticipated that the majority of population warning operations will be conducted prior to or during a major emergency or disaster, these operations could apply to all phases of any emergency situation. The fundamental overriding polices applicable to population warning include:
• Timeliness: Emergency population warnings should be undertaken as early as possible in order to ensure complete dissemination to all element of the population, and to ensure to the extent possible that the population if forewarned.
• Content: Population warning generated by the City should be complete, factual, and detailed to the extent possible. Every effort should be made to inform citizens, but not unduly alarm them.
• Accuracy: Accuracy of the warnings is imperative. Information disseminated in the population warning process should not only be timely, cogent, and pertinent to the situation, but it must be fully accurate as to location, impending time of impact, potential impact and effects, and specific directions for self-protection.
• Coverage: Population warning efforts should be directed to all elements of the City's population. There should be no exclusions unless directed by the Emergency Director. • Means: As a matter of policy, all available means of disseminating population warnings will be employed by the City.
• Tailoring of Population Warnings: The unique nature of specific emergencies may dictate that population warnings be tailored to meet the needs of the emergency extant. This annex does not attempt to differentiate between types of emergencies, and thus, specific protocols for specific emergencies are not included herein.
