AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE BY MODIFYING CHAPTER 9 ARTICLE I THEREOF ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2023 LOS ANGELES COUNTY BUILDING CODE (TITLE 26), ELECTRICAL CODE (TITLE 27), PLUMBING CODE (TITLE 28), MECHANICAL CODE (TITLE 29), RESIDENTIAL CODE (TITLE 30), AND EXISTING BUILDING CODE (TITLE 33) AND BY MODIFYING ARTICLE II THEREOF ADDING EXPEDITED PERMITTING

WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS THERETO Background and Analysis
Every three years, the State adopts new codes (known collectively as the California Building Standards Code or “Title 24”) to establish uniform standards for the construction and maintenance of buildings, electrical systems, plumbing systems, mechanical systems, and fire and life safety systems. Sections 17922, 17958 and 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code requires that the latest edition of the Title 24 be applied to local construction 180 days after publication by the state.

While State law requires local governments to enforce California Title 24, the law allows local governments to enact additional local amendments, but only where the City Council can make a finding that these amendments are based on local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.

The City of South Pasadena historically has adopted the Los Angeles County version of the codes (Title 24 plus Los Angeles County amendments) based on local conditions that include Santa Ana Winds, wildfires, and greater earthquake risk. Adoption of the Los Angeles County Codes by the City ensures that the codes used by the City set the safest standard permitted by law; are consistent with codes throughout the region; and are readily available to architects, engineers, and contractors.

Assembly Bill (AB) 1236 specifically adds Section 65850.7 to the Government Code, relating to local ordinances, to require cities to adopt by ordinance an expedited permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations. AB 970 requires a city, county, or city and county to reduce the number of required parking spaces to accommodate the electric vehicle charging station, as specified. The AB 970’s provisions would become operative 23 - 2

on January 1, 2022, but for every city, county, or city and county with a population of less than 200,000 residents, the Bill’s provisions would apply beginning on January 1, 2023.

Note: Two identical Ordinances are being brought before the City Council. One Ordinance is by 'Urgency' and is to take effect January 1, 2023. The Urgency Ordinance requires a four-fifths vote by the City Council. The non-Urgency Ordinance will take effect 30 days after second reading and adoption of the non-Urgency Ordinance. The need for the Urgency Ordinance adopting the County Codes is to allow the new Building Code to go into effect on January 1, 2023 as opposed to on January 6, 2023 when the non-Urgency Ordinance will go into effect.

Under Government Code Section 36937, cities may adopt urgency ordinances for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, containing a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and passed by a four-fifths vote of the City Council.

The non-Urgency Ordinance was introduced on November 16, 2022 for the first reading and was read by title only. An analysis of the non-Urgency Ordinance can be found in the staff report dated November 16, 2022 (Attachment 2). The findings supporting the local amendment of the California Building Standards Code can be found in Attachment 4 and supporting materials.

Accordingly, this action is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act because such actions Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Urgency Ordinance and the nonUrgency Ordinance will be the purchase of the 2023 Los Angeles County Building Standards Code books estimated to cost $400.

Title of the Ordinance to Read:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH

THEREOF ADDING EXPEDITED PERMITTING WITH CERTAIN

AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS THERETO
2933 13.v2
First Reading of Code Adoption to Modify Chapter 9 Article 1 and 2 November 16, 2022

Page 2 of 4 ends

293313.v2
Background
Every three years, the State adopts new codes (known collectively as the California Building Standards Code or “Title 24”) to establish uniform standards for the construction and maintenance of buildings, electrical systems, plumbing systems, mechanical systems, and fire and life safety systems. Sections 17922, 17958 and 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code requires that the latest edition of the Title 24 be applied to local construction 180 days after publication by the state.

The City of South Pasadena (City) historically has adopted the Los Angeles County version of the codes (Title 24 plus Los Angeles County amendments) based on local conditions that include Santa Ana Winds, wildfires, and greater earthquake risk. Adoption of the Los Angeles County Codes by the City ensures that the codes used by the City set the safest standard permitted by law; are consistent with codes throughout the region; and are readily available to architects, engineers, and contractors.

At the 2016 code adoption cycle, the administrative requirements were formally codified into the City Municipal Code. Since the administration rarely changes, the City only needs to adopt the chapters from each of the County Codes (Building, Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Existing Building) that contain technical requirements. To avoid any confusion between the City Municipal Code sections and the building code sections, this year, a table is added at the beginning of Article I, showing how to read building code sections in reference to City Municipal Code.

AB 970 requires a city, county, or city and county to reduce the number of required parking spaces to accommodate the electric vehicle charging station, as specified. The AB 970’s provisions would become operative on January 1, 2022, but for every city, county, or city and county with a population of less than 200,000 residents, the Bill’s provisions would apply beginning on January 1, 2023.

Analysis
In accordance with the California Health and Safety Code (commencing with §18935), the State of California adopts and publishes a series of construction codes that become California Title 24.

State publishes an updated version of Title 24 every three years on July 1st. When published on July 1st, then the most current version of Title 24 is required to be enforced 23 - 25
First Reading of Code Adoption to Modify Chapter 9 Article 1 and 2 November 16, 2022

Page 3 of 4 ends

293313.v2
by local jurisdictions starting January 1st of the following year. The State published the 2022 version of Title 24 on July 1, 2022.

The codes published by the State are intended to set a minimum statewide code compliance standard. Local jurisdictions are never permitted to enforce a requirement that is less restrictive than Title 24. Local jurisdictions may enforce a more restrictive requirement, but only if the board or council for the local jurisdiction has made a finding that the more restrictive requirement is necessary based on a local climatic, topographic, or geologic condition.

Each 3-year code cycle, the City and County of Los Angeles work together to adopt a series of more restrictive requirements based on local conditions that include Santa Ana Winds, wildfires, and greater earthquake risk. The County Board of Supervisors then makes a finding based on documentation provided by County staff that justifies the more restrictive requirements as part of the current County Codes.

Since the 1990s the City of South Pasadena has adopted the Los Angeles County version of the Construction Codes. Adoption of the County Codes is done for the following reasons:

1. Adoption by the City ensures that the codes used by the City set the safest standard permitted by law.

2. The County Codes are used throughout the majority of Los Angeles County.

3. The County Codes are readily available for purchase by architects, engineers, and contractors.

Because the City cannot adopt a code that does not legally exist, the challenge for every code adoption cycle is that the City must wait for the County to complete their code adoption cycle before the City can start its code adoption cycle.

First reading of the County Codes was on October 18, 2022, and the second reading and adoption by the Board of Supervisors occurred at the meeting on November 15, 2022.

Adoption of the County Ordinances created the 2023 Los Angeles County Codes.

South Pasadena Municipal Code (SPMC) Article II of Chapter 9 now is dedicated for State Mandated Expedited Permitting, the name of the article changed to Expedited Permitting, and the name of Section No. 9.20 changed to Small Residential Rooftop Solar Energy Systems, Intent and purpose. New Section Nos. 9.30, 9.31, 9.32 and 9.33 have been added for Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations as mandated by AB1236 and AB970.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this ordinance. A fee resolution updating associated fees will be brought under separate action at a future City Council meeting. 23 - 26

WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Building, Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing and Existing Building Codes are used throughout the County of Los Angeles and a significant portion of the incorporated cities within the County of Los Angeles; and WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Codes are common, readily available for purchase, and well known to contractors, engineers, and architects; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1236 imposes new requirements for cities. Assembly Bill 1236 specifically add Section 65850.7 to the Government Code, relating to local ordinances, to require cities to adopt by ordinance an expedited permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations; and
WHEREAS, creation of an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations would facilitate convenient charging of electric vehicles and help reduce the City’s reliance on environmentally damaging fossil fuels; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 970 would require a city, county, or city and county to reduce the number of required parking spaces to accommodate the electric vehicle charging station, as specified; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 970’s provisions would become operative on January 1, 2022, but for every city, county, or city and county with a population of less than 200,000 residents, the bill’s provisions would apply beginning on January 1, 2023; and WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the adoption of local amendments to the California Building Standards Code which amend the South Pasadena Municipal Code are exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act because such actions are largely administrative in nature, are designed to improve and not degrade environmental quality, and the impacts of these local amendments to the building standards code will not adversely affect the environment in any manner that could be significant.

c) In order to bring the City’s Building Code into compliance with the State Building Code starting January 1, 2023, the City wishes to adopt this Urgency Ordinance to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and prevent any conflict between the City’s Building Code and the State Building Code; d) California Government Code Sections 36934 and 36937 authorizes the City of South Pasadena to adopt an urgency measure by a four-fifths vote (4/5ths) vote where necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

WHEREAS, To the extent the provisions of this Urgency Ordinance are substantially the same as previous provisions of the South Pasadena Municipal Code, these provisions shall be construed as continuations of those provisions and not as new enactments; and
WHEREAS, Unless the City Council adopts an urgency ordinance to become effective on January 1, 2023, the 2022 California Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Residential, Existing Building and Fire Codes without amendments necessary to preserve the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City of South Pasadena will go into effect until the amendment to the code can become legally effective through the standard process of Code adoption. This will result in a gap in the implementation of the more stringent Code regulations necessary for the City of South Pasadena due to its unique climatic, geological and topographical characteristics.

ITEM NO. 25
Adoption of the City of South Pasadena Updated Emergency Operations Plan along with an Earthquake Annex and a Heat Emergency Annex
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the updated Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and associated Annexes.

Background
In 2020, an Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) was offered to Los Angeles County Disaster Management Area Coordinators to develop a template for an EOP for use by local jurisdictions in Los Angeles County. The template was utilized to update the City of South Pasadena (City) Emergency Operations Plan to more closely address the types of emergencies facing the City, and to match our staffing and organization chart. Annexes are documents that provide guidance for specific types of emergencies, and two Annexes have been updated and are attached to supplement the revised EOP. Additional Annexes will be developed to add to this plan as staff time permits.

Analysis
The purpose of the City EOP is to provide the planning basis for a coordinated response to extraordinary emergency situations associated with natural, and human-caused emergencies or disasters within or affecting the City. This Plan is the principal guiding document for the City's response to, management of, and recovery from real or potential emergencies and disasters occurring within its designated geographic boundaries. This updated Plan, once adopted by City Council, will replace the previous version which had been adopted in 2016.

The updated version contains language and processes that have evolved in the seven years since last adoption. The updates include Annexes that address specific types of emergencies that have also evolved since the last EOP adoption specific to heat and earthquake related incidents.

Adoption of Emergency Operations Plan and Annexes

Page 2 of 2 ends

The Plan is being presented for approval as required by the South Pasadena Municipal Code (SPMC). Per SPMC Chapter 11, titled Emergency Organization, the Mayor and City Manager are assigned the role of Civil Defense and Disaster Council. SPMC Section 11.4 states “It shall be the duty of the South Pasadena disaster council, and it is empowered to develop and recommend for adoption by the City Council, emergency and mutual aid plans and agreements and such ordinances and resolutions and rules and regulations as are necessary to implement such plans and agreements.”
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact related to this item, outside of staff time and duplication costs.

Approval of this Plan will make the City eligible to receive state and federal disaster reimbursement and recovery funds that are made available under local, state, and federal disaster declarations.

Community Outreach
This document and its Annexes were reviewed by the Public Safety Committee on March 14, 2022, the Natural Resources and Energy Commission on August 23, 2022, the City’s Disaster Council on September 13, 2022, Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management on July 15, 2022 and the AREA C Disaster Management Area Coordinator on July 21, 2022. They all recommended the document and annexes be presented to the City Council for review and approval.

1.2 Letter of Promulgation
To: City Officials, Employees and Residents
The preservation of life, property and the environment are inherent responsibilities of local, state, and federal governments. As disasters can occur at any time, the City must provide safeguards that will save lives and minimize property and environmental damage through careful planning, preparedness measures and training. Sound emergency plans carried out by knowledgeable and well-trained personnel can and will minimize losses.

The City’s Emergency Operations Plan establishes an Emergency Management Organization and assigns functions and tasks consistent with California’s Standardize Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS). It provides for the integration and coordination of planning efforts through a whole community approach and authorizes City’s personnel to perform their duties and tasks before, during, and after an emergency.

This plan was developed for City Departments and local special districts with emergency services responsibilities within the City. The content is based upon guidance approved and provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency standard on EOP organization for a local jurisdiction and the California Office of Emergency Services. Its intent is to provide direction on how to respond to an emergency from the onset, through an extended response and into the recovery process.

Once adopted, this plan is an extension of the County of Los Angeles’s Emergency Response Plan and the California Emergency Plan. It will be reviewed and tested periodically and revised as necessary to meet changing conditions such as lessons learned from an actual disaster and emergency; and/or changes in State/Federal guidance.

This EOP will be submitted to the City Council for review, and, upon their concurrence, officially adopted and promulgated.

This promulgation shall be effective upon its signing and shall remain in effect until amended or rescinded by further promulgation. The promulgation of this EOP further affirms the City’s support for emergency management, and a safe and resilient community. ________________________

1.3 Approval & Implementation
The City’s Emergency Operations Plan addresses the City’s planned response to extraordinary emergency situations associated with natural or man-made disasters under an all-hazards 25 - 10
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 7
approach. This plan does not apply to normal day-to-day emergencies incidents or the established departmental procedures used to cope with such emergencies. Instead, this plan focuses on operational concepts that would be implemented in large-scale disasters, which can pose major threats to life, property, and the environment, requiring unusual emergency responses.

This plan accomplishes the following:
• Establishes the Emergency Management Organization required to mitigate any significant emergency or disaster affecting the City.
• Identifies the roles and responsibilities required to protect the health and safety of City residents, public and private property, and the environmental, due to natural or humancaused emergency disasters. • Establishes the operational concepts associated with a field response to emergencies, the City’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC) activities and the recovery process.

Upon concurrence of the City Council, the plan will be officially adopted and promulgated. The approval date will be included on the title page and the plan will be distributed to City departments, supporting agencies and community organizations having assigned primary responsibilities with the Emergency Operations Plan, as necessary.

Upon the delegation of authority from the City Manager, specific modifications can be made to this plan without the signature of the City Council. This Emergency Operations Plan and Attachments supersede all previous versions of the City’s Emergency Operations Plan. 25 - 11

Specifically, this plan is intended to:
• Outline the methods and procedures used by emergency management personnel to assess emergency situations and take appropriate actions to save lives and reduce injuries, prevent, or minimize damage to public and private property, and protect the environment.
• Identify the components of an Emergency Management Organization and establish associated protocols required to effectively respond to, manage and recover from major emergencies and disasters.
• Develop a whole community approach to emergency management to facilitate a response that is inclusive of the entire community
• Identify the organizational framework for the overall management and coordination of emergency operations in the city by implementing the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). • Identify the responsibilities of local, state, and federal agencies in the event of an emergency or disaster affecting the city.
• Define the operational concepts and procedures associated with the EOC interface with the field emergency responders
• Facilitating mutual aid to supplement local resources. • Facilitating multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional coordination, particularly between local government, the private sector, operational area (OA), state response levels, and appropriate federal agencies in emergency operations.
• Support the provision for emergency public information throughout the emergency, including information on personal protective actions the public can take. • Serve as an operational plan as well as a reference document that may be used for preemergency planning in addition to emergency operations. • To be use in coordination with applicable local, state, and federal contingency plans.

Allied agencies, special districts, private enterprise, and volunteer organizations having roles and responsibilities established by this plan are encouraged to develop operating protocols and emergency action checklists based on the provisions of this plan.

Finally, this plan is divided into two parts that contain general and specific information relating to city emergency management operations. Those parts are as follows:

Part 1: Basic Plan. This part provides the structure and organization of the cities 25 - 20
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 17
Emergency Management structure, identifies roles and responsibilities, describes the concept of emergency operations, and identifies how the city implements SEMS and NIMS, as established by federal and state emergency management entities.

Part 2: EOC Management and Plan Implementation. This part provides an introduction to EOC operations, processes, considerations, sections and positions and provides supporting documentation such as job aids and forms to support an EOC operations activation.

2.2 Scope
The policies, procedures and provision of this plan are applicable to all agencies and individuals, public and private, having responsibilities for emergency preparedness, response, recovery and/or mitigation activities within the City.

The plan applies to any extraordinary situation associated with any hazard, natural, or humancaused, which may affect the City, as well as situations requiring a planned and coordinated response by multiple agencies or jurisdictions.

Incorporating the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101: Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans, November 2020, Version 3.0 (draftv0.5), the CalOES’ Emergency Operations Plan Crosswalk - Local Government, 2020; the Los Angeles County Operational Area Emergency Response Plan, and the State of California Emergency Plan best practices, this plan is designed to be read, understood and exercised prior to an emergency and establishes the framework for the implementation of the Standardized Emergency Management System and National Incident Management System for the City.

This plan will be used in coordination with the State Emergency Plan and the National Response Framework.

2.3 Situation Overview
The City, situated within Los Angeles County, faces a variety of hazards. This plan was developed using an all-hazards planning approach as well as leveraging the specific hazard and vulnerability findings that are identified in the County of Los Angeles All-Hazards Mitigation Plan for the City, which include, but are not limited to:
• Climate Change
• Dam Failure
• Earthquake
• Flood
• Landslide/Mudslide
• Wildfire
More detailed information regarding the hazards to the County and the City can be found in the current County of Los Angeles All-Hazards Mitigation Plan. 25 - 21

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 18

2.4 Planning Assumption
The following are assumptions used during the development of this plan. These assumptions translate into basic principles for conducting emergency management operations in preparation for, response to and recovery from major emergencies.
• Emergencies or disasters may occur at any time, day, or night, in populated and remote areas of the City.
• Major emergencies and disasters will require a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional response. Therefore, it is essential that NIMS, SEMS, and ICS are implemented immediately by responding agencies, and expanded as the situation dictates. • Large-scale emergencies and disaster may overburden local resources and require the need for mutual aid from neighboring jurisdictions.
• Large-scale emergencies and disasters and the complex organizational structure required to respond to them pose significant challenges in terms of warning and notification, logistics, and agency coordination.
• The City is primarily responsible for emergency actions within City boundaries and will commit all available resources to save lives, minimize injury to persons, protect the environment and minimize property damage.
• Major emergencies and disasters may generate widespread media and public interest; information provided to the public needs to be accurate and timely. Additionally, the media must be considered an ally in largescale emergencies and disasters; it can provide considerable assistance in emergency public information and warning. • Large-scale emergencies and disaster may pose serious long-term threats to public health, property, the environment, and the local economy. While responding to significant disasters and emergencies, all strategic decisions must consider each of these threats.
• Disasters and emergencies may require an extended commitment of personnel and other resources from involved agencies and jurisdictions. • The Emergency Management Organization is familiar with this plan, supporting documentation, and NIMS, SEMS, and ICS.

It is the City’s intent to fulfill the policies describe here, within the capabilities and resources available at the time of an emergency or disaster.

This plan uses the whole community concept where residents, emergency management representatives, organizational and community leaders, and government officials can understand and assess the needs of their respective communities and determine the best ways to organize and strengthen their resources, capabilities, and interest. Engaging in the whole community emergency management planning process, builds a more effective path to societal security and resilience. This plan supports the following whole community principles:
• Understand and meet the needs of the entire community, including people with disabilities and those with other access and functional needs. • Engage and empower all parts of the community to assist in all phases of the disaster cycle.
25 - 22
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 19
• Strengthen what works well in communities on a daily basis.

In keeping with the whole community approach, this plan was developed with representation from City departments and various other stakeholders. The effectiveness of the emergency response is largely based on the preparedness and resiliency of the community.

Community Resiliency Consists of Three Key Factors:

1. The ability of first responders’ agencies (e.g., fire, law etc.) to divert from their day-to-day operations to the emergency disaster effectively and efficiently.

2. The strength of the emergency management system and organization with the region, to include Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs), mass notification systems and communication systems.

3. The preparedness of the region’s citizens, businesses, and community organizations.

By focusing on enhancing all three of these components, the City is improving not only the City’s resiliency to emergency disaster, but also the regions. 25 - 23

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 20
3 Concept of Operations

3.1 Response
During a major emergency response, the City will work in coordination with numerous governmental, non-governmental, and private organizations. To enable a multi-faceted operation, the City follows a specific response structure that designates the way local, county, and state-level entities coordinate and communicate during emergency response operations.

This Concept of Operations provides guidance to City decision makers and plan users regarding the sequence and scope of actions to be taken during a citywide emergency response.

The response phase concept of operations the City practices can be summarized in six key elements: (1) goals, priorities, and strategies; (2) plan activation; (3) proclaiming an emergency; (4) presidential declarations; (5) emergency management response levels; and (6) the sequence of events during disasters.

3.1.1 Goals, Priorities and Strategies
Operational Goals: During the response phase, the agencies charged with responsibilities in this plan should focus on the following five goals:
1 Mitigate Hazards
2 Meet basic human needs
3 Address needs of People with Access and Functional Needs 4 Restore essential services
5 Support community and economic recovery
Operational Priorities: Operational priorities govern resource allocation and the response strategies for the City and its political subdivisions during an emergency. Below are operational priorities addressed in this plan:
• Save Lives – The preservation of life is the top priority and takes precedence over all other considerations.
• Protect Health and Safety – Measures should be taken to mitigate the impact of the emergency on public health and safety.
• Protect Property – All feasible efforts must be made to protect public and private property and resources, including critical infrastructure, from damage during and after an emergency.
• Preserve the Environment – All possible efforts must be made to preserve the environment and protect it from damage during an emergency.

Operational Strategies: To meet the operational goals, emergency responders should consider the following strategies:
• Mitigate hazards –As soon as practical, suppress, reduce, or eliminate hazards and/or risks to persons, property, and the environment during the disaster response in order to lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of future emergencies. 25 - 24
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 21
• Meet basic human needs –All possible efforts must be made to supply resources to meet basic human needs, including food, water, accessible shelter, medical treatment, and security during an emergency.
• Address needs of individuals with disabilities or access and functional needs – People with access and functional needs are more vulnerable to harm during and after an emergency. The needs of these individuals must be considered and addressed. • Restore essential services –Power, water, sanitation, accessible transportation, and other essential services must be restored as quickly as possible to assist communities in returning to normal daily activities.
• Support Community and Economic Recovery –All members of the community must collaborate to ensure recovery operations are conducted efficiently, effectively, and equitably, promoting expeditious recovery of the affected areas.

3.1.2 Plan Activation
The City Emergency Operations Plan may be activated by the City Manager or designated alternates under any of the following circumstances:
• By order of the City Manager as designated by the City Municipal Code or as needed on the authority of the City Manager or designee based on incident complexity. • Upon proclamation by the Governor that a State of Emergency exists. • Automatically on the proclamation of a State of War Emergency • Upon declaration by the President, of the existence of a National Emergency. • Automatically, on receipt of an attack warning or actual attack on the United States, or upon occurrence of a catastrophic disaster that requires immediate government response

3.1.3 Proclaiming an Emergency
The California Emergency Services Act provides for three types of emergency proclamations in California: (1) Local Emergency, (2) State of Emergency, (3) State of War Emergency.

Emergency proclamations expand the emergency powers and authorities of the State and its political subdivisions. They also provide a mechanism for unaffected jurisdictions to provide resources and assistance to affected jurisdictions. Although emergency proclamations facilitate the flow of resources and support to the affected jurisdiction and local government, they are not a prerequisite to providing mutual aid and assistance under existing agreements or requesting assistance from agencies such as the American Red Cross, the Los Angeles County, or the State of California.

Local Emergency Proclamations:

In the case of the existence or threatened existence of an emergency that threatens the people, property, or environment of the City, and the condition is beyond the capability of the city to control effectively, the City Manager can proclaim a local emergency. A local emergency may be proclaimed to exist due to a specific situation, such as earthquake, flood, fire, storm, pandemic, drought, sudden and severe energy shortage, or other condition 25 - 25
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 22
If assistance will be requested through California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA), a Local Emergency may be recommended by the City Manager as specified by the Municipal Code and issued within 10 days after the actual occurrence of a disaster A Local Emergency proclamation must be ratified by the City Council within 7 days.

The governing body must review the need to continue the proclamation at least every 30 days until the Local Emergency is terminated. The Local Emergency must be terminated by resolution as soon as conditions warrant.

The Proclamation of a Local Emergency provides the governing body with the legal authority to:
• Request the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency, if necessary • Promulgate or suspend orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property, including issuing orders or regulations imposing a curfew within designated boundaries
• Exercise full power to provide mutual aid to any affected area in accordance with local ordinances, resolutions, emergency plans, or agreements • Request state agencies and other jurisdictions to provide mutual aid • Require the emergency services of any local official or employee • Requisition necessary personnel and materials from any local department or agency • Obtain vital supplies and equipment and, if required, immediately commandeer the same for public use
• Impose penalties for violation of lawful order
• Conduct emergency operations without incurring legal liability for performance, or failure of performance (Article 17 of the Emergency Services Act provides from certain privileges and immunities)
When the City proclaims a Local Emergency, it will:
• Notify the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) Duty Officer • Notify the Disaster Management Area Coordinator (DMAC) Proclamation of a State Emergency:

The Governor proclaims a State of Emergency based on the formal request from the City Council and the recommendation of the California Office of Emergency Services. If conditions and time warrant, the Governor drafts and signs a formal State of Emergency Proclamation. The Governor has expanded emergency powers during a proclaimed State of Emergency. The Governor:
• Has the right to exercise police power as deemed necessary, vested in the State Constitution and the laws of California within the designated area • Is vested with the power to use and commandeer public and private property and personnel, to ensure all resources within California are available and dedicated to the emergency when requested
• Can direct all state agencies to utilize and employ personnel, equipment, and facilities for the performance of any and all activities designed to prevent or alleviate the actual 25 - 26
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 23
and threatened damage due to the emergency and can direct them to provide supplemental services and equipment to political subdivisions to restore any service in order to provide for the health and safety of the residents of the affected area. • May make, amend, or rescind orders and regulations during an emergency and temporarily suspend any non-safety-related statues, ordinances, regulations, or rules that impose restrictions on the emergency response activities Proclamation of a State of War Emergency
In addition to a State of Emergency, the Governor can proclaim a State of War Emergency whenever California or the nation is attacked by an enemy of the United States, or upon receipt by California of a warning from the federal government indicating that such an enemy attack is probable or imminent. The powers of the Governor granted under a State of War Emergency are commensurate with those granted under a State of Emergency.

3.1.4 Presidential Declarations
When it is clear that State capabilities will be exceeded, the Governor can request federal assistance, including assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act). The Stafford Act authorizes the President to provide financial and other assistance to state and local government, certain private nonprofit organizations, and individuals to support response, recovery, and mitigation efforts following Presidential Emergency or Major Disaster declarations.

Declaration of Emergency or Major Disaster: The President of the United States can declare an Emergency or Major Disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (41 USC §5121 et seq.), thereby providing federal government resources to support the States’ response and recovery activities. While Presidential Declarations under the Stafford Act release federal resources and funding to support response and recovery, federal agencies may also provide assistance under other authorities or agreements that do not require a Presidential Declaration.

3.1.5 Emergency Management Response Levels
The City Emergency Operations Plan will be activated when an emergency occurs or threatens to exceed capabilities to adequately respond to and mitigate an incident(s). The scope of an emergency, rather than the type, will largely determine whether the Emergency Operations Plan and Emergency Operations Center will be activated, and to what level.

For planning purpose, the California Office of Emergency Services has established three EOC activation “levels” of response to emergencies. The City also employs this system to guide local response to emergencies in the table below:

TABLE 1: EOC ACTIVATION LEVELS

3.1.6 Sequence of Events
Two sequences of events are typically associated with disasters: one involves the response and the other involves emergency proclamations. The response sequence generally describes the emergency response activities to save lives, protect property and preserve the environment.

This sequence describes deployment of response teams, activation of emergency management organizations and coordination among the various levels of government. The emergency proclamation sequence outlines the steps to gain expanded emergency authorities needed to mitigate the problem. It also summarizes the steps for requesting state and federal disaster assistance.

3.1.6.1 Before Impact
Before an emergency ever occurs, the City is committed to conducting preparedness activities that include developing plans, training personnel, conducting emergency exercises, educating the public, and arranging to have necessary resources available.

To remain ready to respond, the City will keep their emergency communications systems, warning systems and the Emergency Operations Center ready at all times.

Routine Monitoring for Alerts, Watches and Warnings: Emergency officials constantly monitor events and the environment to identify specific threats that may affect their jurisdiction 25 - 28
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 25
and increase awareness level of emergency personnel and the community when a threat is approaching or imminent.

Increased Readiness: Sufficient warning provides the opportunity for response agencies to increase readiness, which are actions designed to increase an agency’s ability to effectively respond once the emergency occurs. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Briefing government officials
• Reviewing plans and procedures
• Preparing and disseminating information to the community • Updating resource lists
• Testing systems such as warning and communications systems • Activating Emergency Operations Centers, even if precautionary Pre-Impact: When a disaster is foreseen as highly likely, action is taken to save lives, protect property and the environment. During this phase, warning systems are activated, resources are mobilized, and evacuation begins.

Proclaiming and Emergency: In the case of the existence or threatened existence of an emergency that threatens the people, property, or environment of the City, and the condition is beyond the capability of the city to control effectively, the City Council, or the City Manager if the Council is not in session, can proclaim a local emergency.

3.1.6.2 Immediate Impact
During this phase, emphasis is placed on control of the situation, savings lives and minimizing the effect of the disaster.

Below is a list of actions to be taken:

Alert and Warning: Local response agencies are alerted about an incident by the public through 911, another response agency, or other method. First responders are then notified of the incident.

Upon an alert, response agencies notify response personnel.

Resource Mobilization: Response agencies activate personnel and mobilize to support the incident response. As the event escalates and expands, additional resources are activated and mobilized to support the response. Activation and mobilization continue for the duration of the emergency, as additional resources are needed to support the response. This includes resources with the County, or, when resources are exhausted, from surrounding unaffected jurisdictions.

Incident Response: Immediate response is accomplished within the City by local responders.

First responders arrive at the incident and function within their established field level plans and procedures. The responding agencies will manage all incidents in accordance with the Incident Command System organizational structures, doctrine, and procedures.

Establishing Incident Command: Incident Command is established to direct, order, and/or control resources by virtue of some explicit legal agency or delegated authority at the field level.

Initial actions are coordinated through the on-scene Incident Commander. The Incident commander develops an initial Incident Action Plan, which sets priorities for the incident, 25 - 29
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 26
assigns resources, and includes a common communications plan. If multiple jurisdictions or agencies are involved, the first responders will establish a Unified Incident Command Post to facilitate multijurisdictional and multiagency policy decisions. The Incident Commander may implement an Area Command to oversee multiple incidents that are handled by separate Incident Command System organizations or to oversee the management of a large or evolving incident that multiple incident management teams engaged.

Activation of the Multiagency Coordination System: Responding agencies will coordinate and support emergency management and incident response objective through the development and use of integrated Multiagency Coordination Systems (MACS) and Multiagency Coordination System Groups (MAC Groups). This includes developing and maintaining connectivity capability between the Incident Command Post, Local 911 Centers, local Emergency Operations Centers, Regional Emergency Operations Centers, the State Emergency Operations Center and Federal Emergency Operations Center and National Response Framework organizational elements.

Local Emergency Operations Center Activation: Local jurisdictions activate their local Emergency Operations Center based on the magnitude or need for more coordinated management of the emergency. When activated, local EOCs help form a common operating picture of the incident by collecting, analyzing, and disseminating emergency information. The local Emergency Operations Center can also improve the effectiveness of the response by reducing the amount of external coordination of resources by the Incident Commander by providing a single point of contract to support multiagency coordination. When activated the local Emergency Operations Center notifies the Operational Area lead that the local Emergency Operations Center has been activated.

Communications between field and the Emergency Operations Center: When a jurisdiction Emergency Operation Center is activated, communications and coordination are established between the Incident Commander and the Department Operations Center to the Emergency Operations Center, or between the Incident Commander and the Emergency Operations Center.

Operational Area Emergency Operations Center Activation: If one or more local EOCs are activated, or if the event requires resources outside the affected jurisdiction, the Operational Area Emergency Operations Center activates. The Operational Area Emergency Operations Center also activates if a Local Emergency is proclaimed by the affected local government. The Operational Area Emergency Operations Center then coordinates resource requests from the affected jurisdiction to an unaffected jurisdiction, or if resources are not available within the Operational Area, forwards the resource request to the Regional Emergency Operations Center and mutual aid coordinators.

Regional Emergency Operations Center Activation: Whenever an Operational Area Emergency Operations Center is activated the California Office of Emergency Services Regional Administrator will activate the Regional Emergency Operations Center within the affected region and notifies the California office of Emergency Services Headquarters. The Regional Emergency Operations Center will then coordinate resource requests from the affected Operational Area to unaffected Operational Areas within the affected region, or, if resources are not available within the affected region, resource requests are forwarded to the State Operations Center for coordination.
25 - 30
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 27
State Level Field Teams: The State may deploy Field Teams (Emergency Services Regional Staff) to provide situation reports on the disaster to the Regional Emergency Operations Center in coordination with responsible Unified Command.

State Operations Center Activation: The State Operations Center is activated when the Regional Emergency Operations Center activates to:
• Continuously monitor the situation and provide situation reports to brief state officials as appropriate
• Process resource request between the affected regions, unaffected regions, and state agency Department Operation Centers
• Process requests for deferral assistance and coordinate with Federal Incident Management Assistance Teams when established
• Coordinate interstate resource request as part of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact or Interstate Disaster and Civil Defense Compact • The State Operations Center may also be activated independently of a Regional Emergency Operations Center to continuously monitor emergency conditions Joint Information Center Activation: Where multiple agencies are providing public information, the lead agencies will work together to analyze the information available and provide a consistent message to the public and the media. Where practical, the agencies will activate a Joint Information Center to facilitate the dissemination of consistent information.

State Department Operations Center Activation: Each state agency may activate a Department Operations center to manage information and resources assigned to the incident. If a Department Operations Center is activated, an agency representative or liaison may deploy to facilitate information flow between the two facilities.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Regional Response Coordination Center Activation: The Federal Emergency Management Agency Regional Response Coordination Center may deploy a liaison or Incident Management Assistance Team to the State Operations Center to monitor the situation and provide situational awareness to federal officials.

3.1.6.3 Sustained Operations
As the emergency continues, further emergency assistance is provided to individuals impacted by the disaster and efforts are made to reduce the likelihood of secondary damage. If the situation demands, mutual aid is provided, as well as activities such as search and rescue, shelter and care, and identification of victims.

3.1.6.4 Transition to Recovery
As the initial and sustained operational priorities are met, emergency management officials consider the recovery phase needs. Short-term recovery activities include returning vital lifesupport systems to minimum operating standards. Long-term activity is designed to return to normal activities. Recovery planning should include reviews of ways to avert or mitigate future emergencies. During the recovery phase, damage is assessed, local assistance centers and disaster recovery centers are opened, and hazard mitigation surveys are performed. 25 - 31
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 28
Local Assistance Centers: Local Assistance Centers (LAC) are opened by local governments to assist communities by providing a centralized location for services and resource referrals for unmet needs following a disaster or significant emergency. The LAC is staffed and supported by local, state, and federal agencies, as warranted, as well as nonprofit and voluntary organizations. The LAC provides a venue at which individuals, families, and businesses can access available disaster assistance programs and services. The LACs need to be physically accessible and information needs to be provided in accessible formats for all community members. If federal resources are authorized, a state-federal Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) may be co-located with the LACs.

Joint Field Office: The state coordinates with FEMA as necessary to activate a JFO to coordinate federal support for the emergency. The state will appoint a State Coordinating Officer (SCO) to serve as the state point of contact. A Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) is appointed upon a Presidential Declaration of an Emergency or Major Disaster.

Demobilization: As resources are no longer needed to support the response, or the response activities cease, resources are demobilized. Demobilization includes provisions to address and validate the safe return of resources to their original location and includes processes for resource tracking and ensuring applicable reimbursement. Where applicable, demobilization should include compliance with mutual aid and assistance provisions. 25 - 32

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 30
In the aftermath of a disaster, many citizens will have specific needs that must be met before they can pick up the thread of their pre-disaster lives. Typically, there will be a need for such services as these:
(1) Assessment of the extent and severity of damages to public and private property. (2) Restoration of services generally available in communities - water, food, medical assistance, utilities, and lifelines.
(3) Repair of damaged homes, buildings, and infrastructure. (4) Professional counseling when the sudden changes resulting from the emergency have resulted in mental anguish and inability to cope.

Local governments can help individuals and families recover by ensuring that these services are available and by seeking additional resources if the community needs them. Recovery occurs in two phases: short-term and long-term.

3.2.1 Short-Term
Short-term recovery operations begin during the response phase of the emergency. Although referred to as “short-term” recovery, these activities may last for weeks. Short-term recovery includes actions required to:
• Stabilize the situation.
• Restore services (electricity, water, and sanitary systems) • Implement critical infrastructure recovery plans to maintain operations during emergencies and the recovery phase.
• Commence the planning for the restoration of the community, including economic functions.
• Address debris that poses a threat to public health and safety.

For federally declared disasters, Disaster Assistance Centers may be established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist disaster victims and businesses in applying for grants, loans, and other benefits. In coordination with the American Red Cross, the City may provide sheltering for disaster victims until housing can be arranged.

3.2.2 Long-Term
Long-term recovery continues the short-term recovery actions focusing on community restoration. Long-term recovery may continue for several months or years depending on the severity and extent of the damage sustained. These activities include those necessary to restore a community to a state of normalcy, given the inevitable changes that result from a major disaster. Long-term recovery activities require significant planning to maximize opportunities and mitigate risks after a major incident and may include the following:
• Reconstruction of facilities and infrastructure including the technology systems and services necessary for restoration of all operations functions. • Community planning including the development of long-term housing plans. • Implementation of waivers, zoning changes, and other land-use legislation to promote recovery.
25 - 34
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 31
• Assistance to displaced families, which may include financial support as well as social and health services.
• Restoration of the local economic system.
• Integration of mitigation strategies into recovery efforts. • Documentation of eligible disaster-related costs for reimbursement through state and federal grant programs.

3.3 Continuity
Continuity of Operations and Government: A critical component of the City emergency management strategy involves ensuring that government operations will continue during and after a major emergency or disaster. The ability to maintain essential government functions, including the continuity of lawfully constituted authority is a responsibility that must be provided for to the greatest extent possible.

A major disaster could result in great loss of life and property, including the death or injury of key government officials, the partial or complete destruction of established seats of government and/or the destruction of public and private records essential to continue operations of government and industry.

In the aftermath of a major disaster, during the reconstruction period, law and order must be preserved and, so far as possible, government services must be maintained. The civil government can best complete these services. To this end, it is particularly essential that the local units of government continue to function.

The following portions of the California Government Code and the State Constitution provide authority for the continuity and preservation of State and local government:
• Continuity of Government in California (Article IV, Section 21 of the State Constitution)
• Preservation of Local Government (Article 15 of the California Emergency Services Act)
• Temporary Seat of State Government (Section 450, Title 1, Division 3, Chapter 1 of the Government Code)
Key authorities include Sections 8635 through 8643 of the Government Code:
• Furnish a means by which the continued functioning of political subdivisions can be assured by providing for the preservation and continuation of (City and County) government in the event of an enemy attack, or in the event a State of Emergency or Local Emergency is a matter of statewide concern. • Authorize political subdivisions to provide for the succession of officers (department heads) having duties related to law and order and/or health and safety.
• Authorize governing bodies to designate and appoint three standby officers for each member of governing body and for the Chief Executive, if not a member of the governing body. Standby officers may be residents or officers of a political subdivision, other than that to which they are appointed. Standby officers take 25 - 35
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 32
the same oath as regular officers and are designated numbers 1, 2 and 3 as the case may be.
• Authorize standby officers to report ready for duty in the event of a State of War Emergency, State of Emergency or Local Emergency at the place previously designated.
• Authorize local governing bodies to convene as soon as possible whenever a State of War Emergency, State of Emergency or Local Emergency exists, and at a place not within the political subdivision.

4 Organization and Assignment of Responsibilities

4.1 Roles of Staff in the EOC
For the City, this basic plan establishes the operational organization that is relied on to respond to an emergency. The City uses the Standardized Emergency Management System, The National Incident Management System, and the Incident Command System See also Section

5.4), to be consistent with the National Response Framework concepts and to be coordinated with other jurisdictional partners within the Los Angeles County.

The following sections list out the city’s organization structure as well as departmental roles and responsibilities during an Emergency Operations Center activation.

Additionally, it details out the role that Disaster Management Area Coordinators (DMACs) have during an emergency.

4.2 Role of Elected Official
All disasters are locally driven events, and it is the local official’s role to provide leadership and policy guidance to their jurisdiction before, during, and after a disaster. It is important for local elected officials to engage in preparedness efforts, which are ongoing and involve activities undertaken to prepare for disasters and emergencies, as well as to facilitate future response and recovery efforts. The following section detail some of the local official’s roles and responsibilities during and following a disaster.

Elected Officials Role During an Emergency Disaster: The primary role of an elected official during a disaster is that of support. As the disaster is occurring and the immediate response is underway, you will best serve your citizens by empowering and allowing your first responders and the EOC staff the freedom to manage the incident as they have been trained to do. Allow them time to stabilize the situation before attempting to step in as a decision maker. Your role as decision maker will come, but the primary goal of addressing a disaster as it is happening is to stabilize the situation quickly and efficiently – your staff will do that for you. To help in this goal, your role consists of:
• Support and work with your emergency management officials, as needed. This may include facilitating communication with and obtaining assistance from other agencies, declaring a local state of emergency, and issuing emergency orders such as imposing curfews etc. • Communicate quickly, clearly, and effectively to your constituents and work with your partners to ensure a coordinated message.
• Get accurate information out early and often, and ensure all messaging is accessible. • Maintain situational awareness regarding the disaster by staying informed. • Provide direction for response-related activities, when appropriate. • Trust and empower your emergency management officials to make the right decisions. • Serve your citizens by allowing the First Responders and the EOC staff to manage the incident as they are trained to do. The active participation of Elected Officials in planning / 25 - 37
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 34
training before a disaster and leadership during the recovery period is where you will have the greatest impact and be of most value.
• Use an EOC Liaison to help you stay informed during the incident.

Elected Officials Role Following an Emergency Disaster: The primary role of an elected official after a disaster is that of leadership. Once the first responders and EOC staff have stabilized the situation, your role as an elected official becomes crucial to the recovery process.

A community is built on law and order, and this stems from City Code, Zoning Regulations, Building Code, Police Enforcement, and much more. Just because a disaster occurs does not mean these regulations are null and void. On the contrary, they are crucial to make sure your community is built back right. For a City to truly recover, diligent and firm adherence to the City’s Codes and Regulations must be adhered to. To help in accomplishing this goal, the following is a list of roles for you to fill.
• Understand the disaster assistance programs available and application process for State of California and the Federal Disaster Declarations.
• Support your community throughout the recovery – it can be a long process and may take multiple years.
• Help identify opportunities to rebuild and mitigate future damage through planning and smart infrastructure investments.
• Ask questions – the recovery process and programs can be complex. • Ensure all Codes and Regulations are enforced during the recovery process.

4.3 Role of City Departments
In the event of an Emergency Operations Center activation, each City department is responsible to support emergency response and recovery objectives and taking the lead regarding the emergency function to which they have been assigned. The departments also provide representatives to the EOC to coordinate people, resources, and information in order to manage an incident that occurs in the city, and to communicate emergency efforts between departments and/or jurisdictions.

Designated department representatives are trained in emergency management and response operations. In addition, these representatives have assigned successors to support EOC staff in the event of extended operations. The sections below outline the designated responsibilities for each of the city departments. Details for department staff roles and responsibilities in the EOC are defined in the EOC position “jobaids” included in part two of this plan.

City Manager’s Office. The executive staff members of the City Manager’s Office are responsible for policy level decisions related to the management of the incident. The office will provide representatives to assist in the EOC, and provide liaison assistance to the operational area, if activated. The City Manager, or designee (e.g., Deputy City Manager, or other designee), will serve as the EOC Manager/Director overseeing the direction and policy guidance of all EOC operations. Policy level decisions are related to formation of policies/procedures, authorization of expenditures, support of local emergency management operations with additional staff, resources, etc., as well as other operations as determined appropriate. The City Manager’s Office will also establish a Public Information Officer (PIO) to staff the position of 25 - 38
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 35
EOC PIO to support the collection, verification, and dissemination of emergency related information to the public and the media.

Management Services. Management Services staff serves in the Recovery Coordination Group following the response phase of a disaster event as the city moves into the recovery phase. Management Services supports redevelopment and recovery strategies for the city using current economic development strategies.

Community Development Department. The Community Development Department is responsible for providing support on public infrastructure evaluation/damage assessment, providing GIS support upon request, identifying possible shelter locations (ensuring the structural safety of the buildings), providing staff to the EOC, and administering evaluations and permits in the recovery process. Department representatives from Planning and Building lead the Planning and Intelligence Section in the EOC and may serve in a variety of EOC sections and branches, depending on the needs of the incident.

Finance Department. The Finance Department is responsible for overseeing all expenditures related to emergency management and response operations, including tracking and documentation necessary for recovery reimbursement purposes including personnel time tracking during emergency operations. Finance will provide department representatives to staff the Finance Section in the EOC. Department representatives will utilize established procedures and protocols for expense tracking and documentation but may also develop additional procedures as necessary to fit the needs of emergency operations. Finance will also provide staffing to the Procurement Unit in the Logistics Section in the EOC utilizing established procedures and protocols for purchasing but may develop procedures as necessary to support emergency operations.

Fire Department. The Fire Department is responsible for the management of fire operations within the city during emergency response efforts. This includes the immediate first responder effort to manage any fires, as well as the management of a safe scene, recognition of potential hazardous materials, public safety on scene, and many other responsibilities. The Fire Department will coordinate all response efforts and serve as the main coordination point when requesting fire response or emergency medical service (EMS) assistance from neighboring jurisdictions.

Fire services also include the provision of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), providing lifesaving medical care. Fire EMS personnel will work in coordination with private EMS providers to meet the needs of the incident in the event that Fire EMS is overwhelmed. A Fire Department representative will be appointed to serve in the Fire Branch of the Operations Section in the EOC.

Human Resources Division. The City Human Resources Department is responsible for managing all efforts associated with city personnel and volunteers. As emergency resources, city personnel and volunteers may be assigned to positions in the EOC or in the field to support city emergency management and response operations. Department representatives will staff the Personnel Branch of the EOC, addressing issues such as workers compensation, disaster service worker (DSW) agreements, volunteer management, and other various tasks as determined appropriate. In addition, the risk management personnel within Human Resources are responsible for providing a representative to staff the Safety Officer position for the EOC itself.
25 - 39
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 36
Information Technology Division. The Information Technology (IT) Contractor is responsible for ensuring the operation of the city’s critical IT infrastructure during an emergency and providing technical support to the EOC when activated. IT will staff the Communications Unit in the EOC, and will provide support to GIS, mapping, and any other technical resources. IT should provide representatives to the EOC when activated.

Community Services Department. The Community Services Department is responsible for some logistics functions (supporting staff) and supporting mass care operations, including the implementation of shelter operations in the city. Mass care and shelter operations include the mobilization and deployment of department personnel and resources (in coordination with the operational area) and receiving and registering volunteer resources during emergencies. The Community Services Department will provide staff to manage the shelter facilities and may request additional assistance from the American Red Cross (ARC), if necessary. The Community Services department will appoint department representatives to the city EOC to assist in the coordination of department operations. In addition, the department also serves in a primary role for the provision of services for people with access and functional needs (PAFN) during an emergency. Community Services will also support transportation needs via City busses.

Police Department. The Police Department is responsible for law enforcement operations and terrorism prevention within the city. Police officers will respond to the immediate threats and dangers associated with any emergencies in the city. The Police Department will support emergency operations including, but not limited to prevention of threats, protection of population, evacuation, and damage assessment. A Police Department representative will be appointed to serve in the Law Branch of the Operations Section in the EOC.

Public Works Department. The Public Works Department serves in a variety of roles to support emergency management and response operations. Responsibilities for Public Works include, but are not limited to, damage assessment, critical infrastructure restoration, support for debris management, transportation, evacuation, and general logistics operations. Department representatives may be appointed to the EOC to serve in both the Operations and Logistics Sections. In addition, Public Works will assist emergency operations by deploying personnel into the incident area to assess damage and begin emergency restoration efforts. These operations will be coordinated through their Department Operations Center (DOC), which will communicate and coordinate with the EOC. A portable radio console can be provided to Public Works DOC so that the DOC can operate from a Public Works Facility if preferred. Public Works is also responsible for the management of flood/mudslide response operations, mitigation, planning and recovery activities. Public Works will monitor and assess weather-related data, provide technical assistance for interpreting river level related data and its impacts in the city, document any flooding through photographs, observations, and computer-generated data, ensure water and sewer are maintained during the emergency and provide staff to the EOC. The flood monitoring information provided by Public Works will assist the EOC in making necessary evacuation, transportation, or other emergency management related decisions. Public Works will coordinate flood fighting operations in coordination with local reclamations districts and other city and contracted partners in the event of potential or actual dam failure, or other weatherrelated flood emergencies. The Emergency Manager is responsible for the maintenance and access to hazard maps (such as 100-year flood zone maps) and will provide these to Public Works where applicable.
25 - 40
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 37
EOC, DOC and Responder Personnel. While this Emergency Operations Plan is focused on the City’s organizational response, all city employees with responsibilities for emergency functions would greatly benefit from having a personal and family preparedness plan. Any city employee with responsibility to report to the EOC, a department operations center (DOC), or to field response operations should have a personal and family preparedness plan in place.

Personal and family preparedness planning supports city employees in ensuring the safety of their loved ones, and in turn supports the employees with being available to respond to their city emergency management responsibilities.

4.4 Role of Disaster Management Area Coordinators (DMACs) The mission of DMACs is to coordinate with Area cities in planning for preparedness, mitigation and recovery from emergencies/disasters. During an actual emergency, DMACs are responsible for Advocating for Area cities and liaison with the Los Angeles County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center as (OAEOC) as necessary, assist other Areas as requested; staff City Liaison post at OAEOC.
• Additional they check in with Area cities to quickly determine the impact of the emergency/disaster.
• Provide a quick Area status report to the OAEOC to supplement individual cities’ reports.

This is not a detailed or formal report. It should be consider outside the normal reporting system and will provide the OAEOC with an indication of where potential problems might exist as well as indicate which Disaster Management Area Coordinators (DMACs) might be in the best position to directly provide staffing to assist the most heavily impacted Area(s) and the OAEOC (staffing may come from the DMAC or from a city within the DMAC’s Area). • Get feedback from the OAEOC as to which DMAC Areas appear to be the most heavily impacted and which appear least impacted. Feedback will include a recommendation from the OAEOC as to which DMAC should provide staffing to the OAEOC (staffing may come from the DMAC or from a city within the DMAC’s Area).
• DMAC of selected city provides shit staffing to the OAEOC to represent concerns of cities, to ensure that the needs and concerns of cities are properly represented in the OAEOC, and to participate, as appropriate, in the development of solutions affecting cities.

Finally, the following sections list out the role and responsibilities of the private sector.

4.5 Role of the Private Sector

4.5.1 Contracted City Services
If the City should ever contract for certain services such as Police, Fire or Public Works, and in the event of an Emergency Operations Center activation, each Contracted City Service partner is responsible to support emergency response and recovery objectives and taking the lead regarding the emergency function to which they have been assigned. At a minimum contract city service partners will either provide a representative to the City EOC or provide a contact number for Business Operations Center to coordinate people, resources, and information in order to manage an incident that occurs in the city, and to communicate emergency efforts between their organization and the City.
25 - 41
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 38

4.5.2 Residents
The resident of the City are primary beneficiaries of the City’s emergency management system.

At the same time, residents play an important role in emergency management by ensuring that they and their families are prepared for disasters. Before an emergency, residents can assist the emergency management effort by taking first aid training, maintaining supplies, and being prepared to evacuate or shelter-in-place for several days.

Many residents join disaster volunteers’ programs such as Community Emergency Response Teams and remain ready to volunteer or support emergency response and recovery efforts.

During an emergency, residents should monitor emergency communications and carefully follow direction from authorities. By being prepared, residents can better serve their family, their community and reduce demands on first responders.

4.5.3 Population with Access and Functional Needs
Populations with access and functional needs include those members of the community that may have additional needs before, during and after an incident in functional areas, including but not limited to maintaining independence, communication, transportation, supervision, and medical care.

Individuals in need of additional response assistance may include those who:
• Have disabilities – temporary and/or lifelong
• Live in assisted living settings
• Are elderly
• Are unaccompanied children
• Are from diverse cultures
• Have limited English proficiency or a non-English speaking • Have sight or hearing losses (impairments)
• Are transportation dis-advantaged; or
• Other situations that would require assistance
Lessons learned from recent emergencies concerning people with disabilities and older adults have shown that existing paradigm of emergency planning, implementation and response must change to meet the needs of these groups during an emergency. These lessons show four areas that are repeatedly identified as most important to people with disabilities and older adults:
• Communications and Public Information: Emergency notification systems must be accessible to ensure effective communication for people who are deaf/hard of hearing, blind/low vision, or deaf/blind
• Evacuation and Transportation: Evacuation plans must incorporate disability and older adult transportation providers for identifying and the movement of people with mobility impairments and those with transportation disadvantages 25 - 42
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 39
• Sheltering: Care and shelter plans must address the access and functional needs of people with disabilities and older adults to allow for sheltering in general population shelters
• Americans with Disabilities Act: When shelter facilities are activated, the State will work with local officials to ensure they accommodate the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

4.5.4 At Risk Individuals
Another perspective is to consider the needs of people who are not in contact with traditional emergency service providers. These people may feel they cannot comfortably or safely access and use the standard resources offered in preparedness, response, and recovery. These include, but are not limited to individuals who are:
• Homeless
• Without transportation
• Out of hearing range of community alert sirens/systems • Without radio or television to know they need to take action • Without access to telephones
• Visiting or temporarily residing in an impacted region • Not familiar with available emergency response and recovery resources • Limited in their understanding of English
• Geographically or culturally isolated

4.5.5 Businesses
Most of the City’s critical infrastructure is owned and maintained by businesses and must be protected during a response to ensure a quick and complete recovery from an emergency.

These same businesses provide valuable resources before, during and after an emergency, as well as play a critical role in meeting the needs of those impacted by an emergency.

Target Hazards: Some key locations are potential targets for terrorist attacks and must institute measures to prevent attacks and protect their infrastructure and surrounding community. This requires businesses to coordinate with local, state, and federal governments to ensure that their emergency plans are integrated with government plans.

Hazardous Materials Area Plans: Some industries are required by law or regulation to have emergency operations procedures to address a variety of hazards, the California Office of Emergency Services Hazardous Materials Program requires businesses that handle hazardous materials that meet certain quantity or risk thresholds must submit Business Program Plans and Risk Management Plans to the County’s Certified Unified Program Agency or Administering Agency. The administering Agency can then develop Hazardous Material Area Plans to respond to a release of hazardous material within the county.

Business Emergency Plans: This plan recommends that all businesses develop comprehensive emergency plans that include employee injury and illness prevention programs, business resumption and continuity of operations elements. A comprehensive business emergency plan can assist the business and community at-large by providing:
25 - 43
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 40
• Information to employees to protect themselves and their families from the effects of likely emergencies
• A business emergency organization with identified positions having clear and specific emergency roles, responsibilities, delegated authority and identified successors • An identification of actions necessary to protect company property and records during emergencies
• A list of critical products and services
• Production shutdown procedures
• A company command post
• Alternative work sites
• Methods and channels of communication
• Contacts with local emergency management officials
• A method to provide and accept goods and services from other companies Business Operations Centers: This plan also promotes the use of business operations centers to enhance public and private coordination. Local government can effectively coordinate with businesses by establishing a business operation center that is linked to their existing emergency operations center.

4.5.6 Volunteer Organizations
The City recognizes the value and importance of organizations that perform voluntary services in their community. These organizations have resources, which can augment emergency response and recovery efforts. Some examples of voluntary organization are the following:
• American Red Cross
• Community Emergency Response Team within the City or County • Amateur Radio Group (SPARC)

4.5.7 Public-Private Partnerships
The private sector provides valuable assistance and resources to support emergency response and recovery activities. The goal of the Public-Private partnership is to advise on:
• Appropriate agreements to provide for quick access to emergency supplies and essential services to minimize the need to stockpile such supplies during normal times • Logistic measures required to quickly deliver needed supplies and services to affected areas
• Methods to utilize non-profit and private sector capabilities to increase the surge capacity of local agencies responding to emergencies
• Methods to promote the integration of the non-profit and private sectors into the emergency services system so that people can be better informed and prepared for emergencies
• Systems that aid business and economic recovery after an emergency 25 - 44

5 Direction, Control and Coordination

5.1 Direction and Control
The City is responsible for coordinating the resources, strategies, and policy for any event in the City that exceeds the capacity of field responders. Tactical control always remains the responsibility of field Incident Commanders. The City Manager, working through the mechanism of the Emergency Operations Center, provides direction and control over the coordination of multi-department and multi-jurisdictional resources to support the field responders. Policy decisions may be made by the Emergency Operations Center Manager/Director that is staffed by the City Manager or designee.

5.2 Coordination
The City Emergency Operations Center will coordinate resource requests from the field and other jurisdictions within the City. If request exceed the supply, the Emergency Operations Center will provide resources based on established priorities.

If resources are not available within the City, requests will be made to the Los Angeles Operational Area Emergency Operations Center either directly or through DMACs will who are responsible for advocating for Area cities and liaison with the Los Angeles County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center as (OAEOC) as necessary. The Operational Area Emergency Operations Center will coordinate resources obtained from within the operational area. If resources are not available in the operational area, they will request from the Southern Regional Emergency Operations Center. The Regional Emergency Operations Center will coordinate resources obtained from operational areas throughout the region. If resources are not available in the region, they will request from the State Operations Center. If the state cannot supply the resource, they will request from Federal Emergency Management Agency and other federal agencies. Below is a visual of this coordination relationship.

5.3 Multi-Entity/Jurisdiction Coordination and Mutual Aid FIGURE 2: DMAC COORDINATION RELATIONSHIP
25 - 46
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 43
Operational Area Coordination: In the event that an incident overwhelms the resources and capabilities of the City, additional support will be requested from a variety of entities, jurisdictions, and organizations. For general emergency management operations, the city will follow SEMS and make requests for additional assistance through the operational area, working directly with the operational area emergency management personnel and the operational area EOC, if activated. If the emergency requires state and federal support, representatives from the operational area will work with the state level emergency management organization (Regional Emergency Operations Center), following the established SEMS, NIMS, and ICS structures.

When working with external partners such as private companies, non-profit organizations, nongovernment organizations, or other partners, city representatives in the EOC will ensure that these external partners work within the designated organizational structure of the city EOC. The City EOC Manager/Director will designate the coordination procedures for new partners that are not already established as part of the city’s emergency management operational systems.

Mutual Aid: California's emergency assistance is based on a statewide mutual aid system designed to ensure additional resources are provided to the state’s political subdivisions whenever their own resources are overwhelmed or inadequate. The basis for this system is the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement (MMAA), which is entered into by and between the State of California, its various departments and agencies, and the various political subdivisions, municipal corporations, and public agencies to assist each other by providing resources during an emergency. The agreement obligates each signatory entity to provide aid to each other during an emergency without expectation of reimbursement. Under specific conditions, federal and state funding may be appropriated to reimburse public agencies who aid other jurisdictions. If other agreements, memoranda, and contracts are used to provide assistance for consideration, the terms of those documents may affect disaster assistance eligibility and local entities may only be reimbursed if funds are available. This plan promotes the establishment of emergency assistance agreements between public and private sector agencies at all levels.

There are four approved, formal Mutual Aid Systems in California. Those systems are:
25 - 47
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 44
1 Fire and Rescue
2 Law Enforcement
3 Coroner
4 Emergency Management (resources
not covered by the other three
systems)
Other informal mutual aid involves, but is not
limited to the interchange of:
1 Public Information
2 Medical and Health
3 Communications
4 Transportation Services
5 Facilities
6 Hazardous Material Mutual Aid System
7 Volunteer and Private Agencies
California is divided into six mutual aid
regions, which are subdivisions of the state
emergency services organization to facilitate
the coordination of mutual aid and other
emergency operations within an area of the State consisting of two or more Operational Area. A map of the Regions is shown in Figure 3: California Mutual Aid Regions. The City is located in Mutual Aid Region I-A.

Mutual Aid Coordination: Formal mutual aid requests follow specified procedures and are processed through pre-identified mutual aid coordinators. Mutual aid requests follow disciplinespecific chains (i.e., fire, law enforcement etc.) from one level of government to the next. The mutual aid coordinator receives the mutual aid request and coordinates the provision of resources from within the coordinator's geographic area of responsibility. In the event resources are unavailable at one level of government, the request is forwarded to the next higher level of government to be filled.
• Field Level Requests: Requests for MMAA resources originate from the Field Level and are managed by the Incident Commander (IC). If the IC is unable to obtain the resource through existing local channels, the request is elevated to the next successive government level until obtained or cancelled.
• Local Government Request: Local jurisdictions are responsible for the protection of life and property within the municipal geographic boundaries. The local jurisdiction where the incident occurred should assess its resource inventory and existing local agreements to determine if the requested resource is available. When locally committed resources are exhausted and mutual aid is needed, the local official will request assistance from the OA Mutual Aid Coordinator.
• Operational Area Requests: The Operational Area (OA) is a composite of its political subdivisions, (i.e., municipalities, contract cities, special districts, and county agencies).

The OA Mutual Aid Coordinator assesses the availability of resources within the OA and fulfills the resource request based upon that assessment. In the event resources are FIGURE 3: CALIFORNIA MUTUAL AID REGIONS

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 45
unavailable at the OA level, the request is forwarded to the responsible Regional Mutual Aid Coordinator to be filled.
• Region Level Requests: The State is geographically divided into six Mutual Aid Regions. For Law Enforcement Mutual Aid, Region I is divided into two sub-regions.

Each Mutual Aid Region is comprised of multiple Operational Areas and has a Regional Mutual Aid Coordinator. The Regional Mutual Aid Coordinator is granted the authority to coordinate the mutual aid response of discipline-specific resources within the Region to support a mutual aid request by a jurisdiction also within the Region. In the event resources are unavailable at the Region level, the request is forwarded to the State Mutual Aid Coordinator to be filled.
• State Level Requests: On behalf of the Governor, the Director of Cal OES has the responsibility for coordination of state mutual aid resources in support of local jurisdictions during times of emergency. The Director will analyze and coordinate the request by forwarding the request to an unaffected REOC or tasking the appropriate State agency to fill the need.

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 46

5.4 NIMS, SEMS, and ICS
Emergency management operations for the City are organized under the guidelines established by NIMS, SEMS, and ICS. These emergency management structures and guidelines provide the foundation for all emergency operations, creating a flexible organizational structure that can be adjusted to meet the needs of any incident, regardless of the size, extent, or associated damage. This plan, following the identified emergency management structures and guidelines, serves as a local, city management plan, and nests into and supports the Los Angeles County and Operational Area Response Plan.

The city will manage their internal operations through the implementation of this plan as outlined, and work in support of county operations if necessary. In following these standardized systems, the city EOC is organized into the sections listed below. • Management Staff
• Operations Section
• Planning Section
• Logistics Section
• Finance Section
Detailed descriptions of the roles of each position in the EOC can be found in Part 2 of this plan.

NIMS is the national standard for incident management operations defined by the FEMA and based on the National Response Framework. NIMS has been adopted by the City by resolution to serve as its incident management system. ICS is the organizational structure within NIMS that defines how emergency management operations will be organized. All state and local jurisdictions are required to prepare, plan, and respond to emergencies based on the NIMS and ICS standards in order to be eligible for federal reimbursement for emergency related costs.

Additional details regarding NIMS and ICS can be found online through FEMA’s website.

In addition, the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), based on State of California emergency management standards, has been adopted by the City for managing response to multi agency and multi jurisdiction emergencies, and to facilitate communications and coordination between all levels of the system and among all responding agencies.

California Government Code § 8607 requires all local public agencies (cities, special districts, and counties) to respond to emergencies using the SEMS at the scene of a multi-agency emergency and in the EOC.

SEMS defines the organizational structure of local EOCs, reporting to operational area EOCs, which report to Regional EOCs (REOC), to state EOCs, and finally to FEMA. The utilization of SEMS during emergency management and response efforts is required for jurisdictions to be eligible for state reimbursement. Additional information for SEMS can be found online through the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) website.

National Incident Management System: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, illustrated the need for all levels of government, the private sector, and nongovernmental agencies to prepare for, protect against, respond to, and recover from a wide spectrum of events that exceed the capabilities of any single entity. These events require a unified and coordinated national approach to planning and to domestic incident management. To address 25 - 50
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 47
this need, the President signed a series of Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs) that were intended to develop a common approach to preparedness and response. Two Policy Directives that are of particular importance to emergency planners:
• HSPD-5, Management of Domestic Incidents: Identifies steps for improved coordination in response to incidents. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate with other federal departments and/or agencies and state, local, and tribal governments to establish a National Response Framework and a National Incident Management System.
• PPD-8, National Preparedness: Describes the way federal departments and agencies will prepare. It requires DHS to coordinate with other federal departments and agencies – and with state, local, and tribal governments to develop a National Preparedness Goal.

Together, the National Incident Management System, National Response Framework, and the National Preparedness Goal define what needs to be done to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from a major event; and how well it needs to be done. These efforts align federal, state, local, and tribal entities; the private sector; and nongovernmental agencies to provide an effective and efficient national structure for preparedness, incident management, and emergency response.

The National Incident Management System structure provides a consistent framework for incident management at all jurisdictional levels, regardless of the cause, size, or complexity of the incident, building on the Incident Command System and the National Incident Management System provides the nation’s first responders and authorities with the same foundation for incident management for terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and all other emergencies. The National Incident Management System structure requires the institutionalization of the Incident Command System and its use to manage all domestic incidents.

The National Incident Management System structure integrates existing best practices into a consistent, nationwide approach to domestic incident management that is applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines. Six major components make up the National Incident Management system’s approach:
• Command and Management
• Preparedness
• Resource Management
• Communications and Information Management
• Supporting Technologies
• Ongoing Management and Maintenance
Standardize Emergency Management System: The Standardized Emergency Management System is the cornerstone of California’s emergency response system and the fundamental structure for the response phase of emergency management. The Standardized Emergency Management System required by the California Emergency Services Act for managing multiagency and multijurisdictional response to emergencies in California. The system unifies all elements of California’s emergency management community into a single integrated system and standardizes key elements. The Standardized Emergency Management System incorporates the use of the Incident Command System, California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement, the Operation Area concept and multiagency or inter-agency 25 - 51
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 48
coordination. State agencies are required to use the Standardized Emergency Management System and local government entities must use the Standardized Emergency Management System in order to be eligible for any reimbursement of response-related costs under the state’s disaster assistance programs.

Standardize Emergency Management System Organization Levels: There are five Standardized Emergency Management System organizational levels. • State: The State Level of the Standardized Emergency Management System prioritizes task and coordinates state resources in response to the request from the Regional Level and coordinates mutual aid among the mutual aid regions and between the Regional Level and State Level. The State Level also serves as the coordination and communication link between the state and the federal emergency response system. The State Level requests assistance from other state governments through the Emergency management Assistance Compact and similar interstate compacts/agreements and coordinates with the Federal Emergency Management Agency when federal assistance is requested. The State Level operates out of the State Operations Center. At the Federal Level, the National Response Framework identifies the methods and means for federal resources to provide support to the state and local government. Federal resources would be accessed via the Standardized Emergency Management System process through the mutual aid region and State Operations Center. • Region: The Regional Level manages
and coordinates information and
resources among Operational Areas
within the mutual aid region and also
between the Operational Area and the
State Level. The Regional Level also
coordinates overall state agency support
for emergency response activities within
the region. California is divided into three
Administrative Regions – Inland, Coastal
and Southern (Figure 5); which are
further divided into six mutual aid regions
(Figure 3).
• Operational Area: An operational Area is
the intermediate level of the state’s
emergency management organization,
which encompasses a county’s
boundaries, and all political subdivisions
located within that country, including
special districts. The Operational Area
facilitates and/or coordinates information, resources, and decisions regarding priorities among local governments within the Operational Area. The Operational Area serves as the coordination and communication link between the Local Government Level and Regional Level, State, Federal and Tribal jurisdictions in the Operational Area may have statutory authorities for response similar to that at the local level.

FIGURE 5: ADMINISTRATIVE REGIONS
25 - 52
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 49
• Local Government (The City): The Local Government Level includes cities, counties and special districts, Local governments are required to use the Standardized Emergency Management System when their Emergency Operations Center is activated, or a local emergency is declared or proclaimed in order to be eligible for state reimbursement of response-related costs.
• Field: The Field Level is where emergency response personnel and resources, under the command of responsible officials, carry out tactical decisions and activities in direct response to an incident or threat.

Standardized Emergency Management System Functions: The Standardized Emergency Management System requires that every emergency response involving multiple agencies include the five functions identified in Figure 6: Standardized Emergency Management System Functions. These functions must be applied at each level of the Standardized Emergency Management System organization.

FIGURE 6: STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FUNCTIONS Command/Management: Command is responsible for the directing, ordering, and/or controlling of resources at the field response level. Management is responsible for overall emergency policy and coordination at the Standardized Emergency Management System Emergency Operations Center levels. Command and Management are further discussed below:
• Command: A key concept in all emergency planning is to establish command and tactical control at the lowest level that can perform that role effectively in the organization. In the Incident Command System, the Incident Commander, with appropriate policy direction and authority from the responding agency, sets the objectives to be accomplished and approves the strategy and tactics to be used to meet those objectives. The Incident Commander must respond to higher authority. Depending Command/

upon the incident’s size and scope, the higher authority could be the next ranking level in the organization up to the agency or department executive. This relationship provides an operational link with policy executives who customarily reside in the Department Operations Center of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), when activated. • Management: The Emergency Operations Center serves as a central location from which multiple agencies or organizations coordinate information collection and evaluation, priority setting and resource management. Within the Emergency Operations Center, the Management function:
• Facilitates multiagency coordination and executive decision making in support of the incident response
• Implements the policies established by the governing bodies • Facilitates the activities of the Multiagency Coordination Group • Operations: Responsible for coordinating and supporting all jurisdictional operations supporting the response to the emergency through implementation of the organizational level’s Action Plans. At the Field Level, the Operational Section is responsible for the coordinated tactical response directly applicable to, or in support of the objectives in accordance with the Incident Action Plan. In the Emergency Operations Center, the Operations Section Coordinator/Chief manages functional representatives who share information and decisions about discipline-specific operations. • Logistics: Responsible for providing facilities, services, personnel, equipment, and materials in support of the emergency. Unified ordering takes place through the Logistics Section to ensure controls and accountability over resource requests. As needed, Unit Coordinators are appointed to address the needs for communications, food, medical, supplies, facilities, and ground support.
• Planning/Intelligence: Responsible for the collection, evaluation and dissemination of operational information related to the incident for the preparation and documentation of the Incident Action Plan at the Field Level or the Action Plan at an Emergency Operations Center. Planning/Intelligence also maintains information on the current and forecasted situation and on the status of resources assigned to the emergency or the Emergency Operations Center. As needed, Unit Coordinators are appointed to collect and analyze data, prepare situation reports, develop action plans, set Geographic Information Systems priorities, compile, and maintain documentation, conduct advance planning, manage technical specialists, and coordinate demobilization. • Finance/Administration: Responsible for all financial and cost analysis aspects of the emergency and for any administrative aspects not handled by the other functions. As needed, Unit Leaders are appointed to record time for incident of Emergency Operations Center personnel and hire equipment, coordinate procurement activities, process claims and track costs.

The field and Emergency Operations Center functions are illustrated in Table 2: Field and Emergency Operation Center Standardize Emergency Management Functions Comparison.

MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS COMPARISON
6 Communications

6.1 City EOC. Once notified of an emergency or disaster of any size, or of a potential or imminent threat to the city, communications will be established between the City EOC and outside entities, such as field responders, department level personnel, media, or other outside agencies and partners. From the EOC, telephones, cell phones, radios, email, and internet applications (such as VEOCI) are used for direct communications with field responders or outside agencies.
25 - 55
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 52
The City EOC can communicate with the OA EOC to access the State OASIS satellite system.

OASIS can support the operational area entities by allowing for direct satellite communication with the State’s Regional EOC (REOC), and the State Operations Center (SOC). OASIS voice transmission works like a standard telephone and data transmission is similar to a computer modem.

6.2 City Operations and Responders. The City operational staff in the field implement interoperable communications through the use radios to facilitate communications with all responding departments and city entities. Alternate forms of communications such as the use of cell phones, text messaging, email, amateur radio etc., may be utilized if determined necessary.

The use of the interoperable radio system allows for communications between DOCs, EOCs, and the Incident Command Post (ICP) that is located near the site of a field emergency incident.

DOCs and dispatch centers for private entities (i.e., private EMS providers) are responsible for maintaining communications with the city EOC when it is activated. A cache of radios is available from the Fire Department if radio distribution is needed. A Satellite Phone Hub (Iridium Go) is available for text and voice communications in the event that standard phone lines are not operational. See the Iridium Go binder in the EOC for operations.

6.3 Alert and Warning. In addition to an effective communication capability, government must have an effective means to provide warning alerts to the populations impacted or at risk as the result of an emergency. There are several primary alert and warning systems designed to provide City residents with emergency information. The city employs several modalities and systems to alert residents of impending dangers. These include a mass notification system where resident landline data is preloaded into the system. Residents can also voluntarily opt-in the system by providing additional information such as email, cell phone, and additional residential data. The city also has access to the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (iPAWS) which enables the city to utilize Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to notify residents on their cell phones under extreme circumstances where there is an imminent threat to life, property, or the environment. Additionally, special broadcasts, or simply driving up and down the streets using the public address system can also be conducted to notify and warn citizens.

Police and Fire may be required to disseminate emergency warning to public who cannot be reached by primary warning systems.
25 - 56
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 53
7 Information Collection, Analysis and Distribution
Before an Incident. Information is often provided before an incident occurs. Sources may include weather reports, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) alerts, LA County Flood Control (Public Works) monitoring data, crime reports, credible threats of intentional events, and others. Advanced notice information can be used to activate the EOC, prepare emergency management and response personnel, and provide information to the city population. This advanced information can increase the preparedness level of emergency management and response personnel, ensuring the number of responders and material resources needed for response operations. Advanced information is also used to notify people that might be living in harm’s way, and supports individuals and their families with preparing for, or evacuating from, the hazardous situation. Early information can greatly reduce the numbers of people who might otherwise be harmed by the emergency event.

During an Incident. Information collected during the incident assists in determining the correct course of action and emergency management decisions. Information is collected from field responders, DOCs, private entities, the media, social media, community members, and a variety of other sources. All information collected from open-source public resources will be analyzed for accuracy, processed through rumor control, and documented by the respective EOC sections, branches, and units. All information documentation will be provided to the Situation Unit in the Planning Section of the EOC for inclusion into in the EOC Action Plan.

The use of Actions Plans in the City Emergency Operations Center provides a clear and measurable process for identifying objectives and priorities for a given event. Action Planning is an important management tool that involves:
• Process for identifying priorities and objectives for emergency response or recovery efforts
• Plans which document the priorities and objectives and the task and personnel assignments associated with meeting the objectives
The Action Planning process should involve the Emergency Operations Center Director and Section Chiefs/Coordinators (one from each Section) along with other Emergency Operations Center staff, as needed, such as agency representatives.

The initial Emergency Operations Center Action Plan may be a verbal plan that is developed during the first hour or two following Emergency Operations Center action. A verbal plan may also be utilized for incidents involving a limited scope, short duration (less than 12 hours) and/or a limited number of response personnel. An Emergency Operations Center Action Plan will be developed whenever the Emergency Operations Center is activated, either partially or fully. A written Emergency Operations Center Action Plan is required whenever:
• Two or more agencies are involved in the response
• The incident overlaps more than one operational period • All Emergency Operations Center functions are fully staffed The Emergency Operations Center Action Plan addresses a specific operational period, which may vary in length from a few hours to days depending on the circumstances. The plan should be regularly reviewed and evaluated through the operational period and revised or updated as warranted.
25 - 57
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 54
The Planning Section Chief/Coordinator, with input from the EOC Manager/Director, EOC Coordinator, and the Operations Section Chief/Coordinator, establishes the schedule and cycle for planning and situation information dissemination. Initially, meetings may be conducted every few hours or several times each day. Over time, meetings may be held twice each day, and then daily, depending on the level of operations.

In addition, all EOC situation status reports and EOC Action Plans will be developed and presented for the purpose of information sharing at scheduled meetings during each EOC operational period. Information may also be sent to City departments, Emergency Operations Center personnel, the Operational Area, and other key agencies using the City’s Emergency reporting system, OASIS, radio, telephone, email, internet, or fax. Regardless of the method of communication, all data should be verified prior to transmission. If unverified data must be transmitted, it should be clearly designated as unconfirmed information.

The City uses EOC forms found in part two of this plan to record and report information.

After an Incident. Information collected throughout emergency operations will be documented by members of the Planning Section. This information will be used during the recovery phase of the emergency to develop a history of actions and expenditures related to the disaster.

Information will also be used for the development of the after-action report that is used to document effective practices, archive effective tools, note areas in which EOC personnel saw need for additional training or tools, and document areas for program enhancements. In addition, the city and other agencies, entities, and organizations involved in the emergency management and response operations will collect information related to their respective aftereffects of the incident, such as social and economic impacts, relief support provided, and ongoing recovery operations.

Emergency Public Information. Emergency Public Information is a priority of most importance during emergencies and disasters. City government has a primary responsibility to provide accurate and timely information to the public regarding conditions, threats, and protective measures. To avoid conflicts and confusion, the Emergency Public Information function operates best when centralized and coordinated among all involved jurisdictions, agencies, and organizations.
8 Administration, Finance and Logistics

8.1 Administration
Emergency management operations supporting administration, finance, and logistical processes will be primarily conducted within the Logistics and Finance Sections of the EOC and will include the following considerations:
• Tracking and documentation of expenses
• Documentation of all actions taking during emergency operations • Procuring necessary equipment, resources, and additional support • Tracking and documentation of city employee working hours 25 - 58
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 55
• Documentation of city employee working hours
• Managing continuity of operations (COOP) for the city • Developing staff rotation schedules for extended operations • Managing compensation and claims related to emergency operations • Tracking and documenting of the deployment and utilization of resources • Managing additional staff and volunteers to support emergency operations • Managing both financial and in-kind donations
• Overseeing and managing information technology components and issues as they arise • And other actions as determined appropriate

8.1.1 City Emergency Operations Policy Statement
Limitations: Due to the nature of emergency response, the outcome is not easy to predict.

Therefore, it should be recognized that this plan is meant to serve as a guideline and that the outcome of the response may be limited by scope, magnitude, and duration of the event.

Suspension of Routine Activities and Availability of Employees: Day-to-day functions that do not contribute directly to the disaster operation may be suspended for the duration of an emergency. Efforts normally required for routine activities may be redirected to accomplish emergency tasks. During an emergency response, City employees not otherwise assigned emergency disaster related duties will, unless otherwise restricted, be made available to augment the work of their department, or other City departments, if required.

Employee Personal Preparedness: City employees may not be at peak efficiency or effectiveness during a disaster if the status of their households is unknown or in doubt.

Employees who are assigned disaster response duties are encouraged to make arrangement with other employees, friends, neighbors, or relatives to check on their immediate families in the event of a disaster and to communicate that information to the employee through the City Emergency Operations Center.

Non-Discrimination: All local activities will be carried out in accordance with federal nondiscrimination laws. It is the City’s policy that no service will be denied on the basis of race, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation of the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability.

Citizen Preparedness: This plan does not substitute government services for individual responsibility. Citizens are expected to be aware of developing events and take appropriate steps to respond in a safe and timely manner. Since the City’s resources and personnel may be overwhelmed at the onset of a disaster event, individuals and organizations should be prepared to be self-sufficient following a disaster. The City will make every effort to provide information to the public via the media and other sources to assist citizens in dealing with the emergency.

8.1.2 Disaster Service Workers
Under California Government Code, Section 3100-3109, all public employees are obligated to serve as Disaster Service Workers. Public employees (civil service) are all persons employed 25 - 59
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 56
by any county, city, state agency or public district in the State of California. Disaster Service Workers provide services and support during declared emergencies or disasters.

In the event of a major emergency or disaster, City employees may be called upon to perform certain duties in support of emergency management operations, such as: serve in a position in the Emergency Operations Center, support shelter operations, or work at a logistics base in the field.
• City employees may be required to work at any time during a declared emergency and may be assigned to disaster service work
• Assignments may require service at locations, times and under conditions other than normal work assignments
• Assignment may include duties within the Emergency Operation Center, in the field or at another designated location
Under no circumstances will City employees that do not usually have a response role in their day-to-day responsibilities be asked to perform duties or functions that are hazardous, that they have not been trained to perform or are beyond their recognized capabilities.

8.1.3 Documentation
The Emergency Operations Center Finance/Administration Section will be responsible for maintaining records on damage assessment expenditures, recovery cost expenditures, insurance related documents, personnel overtime and other cost associated with the emergency.

The Emergency Operations Center Planning Section will maintain copies of documents that are integral to Emergency Operation Center functions such as Emergency Operation Center Action Plans, Situation Status Logs, Position Logs etc. that together make up the history and chronology of the emergency events.

8.2 Finance
In the case of a major disaster, the Emergency Operations Center will support county, state, and federal entities with cost recovery efforts, if requested and as able. City citizens may benefit from the Small Business Administration, and the City may benefit from the State and/or the Federal Emergency Management Agency Public Assistance Program. The City may assist the citizenry with public service announcement regarding support available as unemployment benefits, worker’s compensation, and insurance benefits.

8.2.1 Expenditure Tracking
The city may be reimbursed for insurance, state and/or federal sources for disaster-related expense. The purpose of this section is to provide guidance on the record keeping requirements for claiming such expenses.
25 - 60
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 57

8.2.2 Eligible Expenses
Eligible costs are extraordinary costs incurred while providing emergency services required by the direct impact of a declared disaster and which service is the responsibility of the applicant agency. Eligible costs are generally considered to be the net costs over and above any increased revenue or subsidy of the emergency service. Ineligible expense includes costs for standby personnel and/or equipment and lost revenue.

8.2.3 Recordkeeping Requirements
State and federal governments require detailed information to support claims for reimbursement. Funding will be approved or denied based upon the information supplied by applicant agencies. Documentation supporting all cost claimed will be required, and all information must relate back to individual original source records. The following guidelines should be followed when documenting disaster-related reimbursable expenses:
• Costs and revenue associated with emergency operations should be segregated from normal operating expenses
• Separate records should be maintained for each vehicle and piece of heavy equipment used for emergency operations
• Vehicles and equipment documentation should include the limes and/or hours operated by location and operator
• Vehicle operating expenses should include fuel, tires, and maintenance • Labor costs should be compiled separate from vehicle and/or equipment expenses • Equipment documentation should include exactly where the equipment was used and for what; hours and minutes used; and the name of the equipment operator if applicable • Revenues and subsidies for emergency operations must be subtracted from any costs claimed
• Requisitions, purchase orders, and invoices must be maintained for all supplies, materials and equipment expenses claimed
• Costs for supplies and materials must include documentation of exactly where resources were used and for what purpose
• All non-competitive procurements must be justified
Expenditure tracking should commence upon notice or obvious occurrence of disasters that require. The following section focus on logistics and resource management, priorities, and requests.

8.3 Logistics

8.3.1 Resource Management
The resource management function describes the system that will be utilized for identifying available resources within the City to enable timely, efficient, and unimpeded access to resources needed to prepare for, respond to, or recover from an incident. Resource management under the National Incident Management System (NIMS) includes mutual aid and 25 - 61
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 58
assistance agreements, the use of special federal, state, territorial, tribal, and local teams, and resource mobilization protocols. This function specifically includes the management of personnel for emergency management operations and addresses necessary coordination efforts with local jurisdictions to secure necessary support and resources.

8.3.2 Resource Priorities
When activated, the City Emergency Operations Center establishes priorities for resource allocation during the emergency. All City resources are considered part of a pool, which may be allocated by the Emergency Operations Center to fulfill priority missions. Each department retains control of its non-assigned resources until released for an emergency assignment by the Emergency Operations Center.

8.3.3 Resource Requests
Resource requests will be made through one of the following processes:
• Discipline-specific (usually Fire and Law) mutual aid systems: Request for resources that are normally within the inventories of the mutual aid system will go from local coordinator to Operational Area Mutual Aid Coordinator to the Regional Mutual Aid Coordination. • All other resource request will be made through the logistics function at each level.

Resource request from the City will be coordinated with the Los Angeles Operational Area Emergency Operations Center to determine if the resource is available internally or other more appropriate sources located within the Operational Area. Emergency Management Mutual Aid Coordinators at each level will keep the Operations Chief informed of the status of resource request and allocations. Coordinators at each level will communicate and coordinate with each other to maintain current status on resource request and allocation within the disaster area.

Resource request from the City Emergency Operations Center to the Los Angeles Operational Area Emergency Operations Center may be verbally requested and then documented. Available resources will be allocated to the requesting local government, if request for a specific resource exceed the supply, the available resources will be allocated consistent with the priorities established through the action planning process. The Section Chiefs in the Emergency Operations Center are responsible for ensuring that priorities are followed.

Resource requests for equipment, personnel, or technical assistance not available to the City should be coordinated with the Los Angeles County Emergency Operations Center to the Southern Region Regional Emergency Operations Center. Once the request is coordinated, approved and resources deployed, planning in coordination with various Operational Branches, is responsible for tracking the resources.

9 Plan Development and Maintenance
This section of the City EOP discusses the overall approach to plan development and maintenance responsibilities.

This plan is developed under the authority conveyed to the City Manager’s office in accordance with the City’s Emergency Organization who has the primary responsibility for ensuring that necessary changes and revisions to this plan are prepared, coordinated, published, and distributed. The City uses the planning process prescribed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the State of California. This Plan and supporting documentation are reviewed and updated on a regular basis. The review and updates are coordinated with City Departments and the Los Angeles County.

9.1 Administrative Practices
Adherence to standard administrative and financial procedures is critical to ensure resources and funding to support response and recovery activities are accurately tracked and accounted for. Standard administrative and financial practices also support proper cost accounting in order to obtain any reimbursement provided through disaster assistance programs.

The City follow the administrative practices required by state law and the SEMS Guidelines in Part III of the SEMS Guidelines documents California’s Emergency Management administrative practices.

9.2 Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
This Plan is intended to be used in conjunction with county, operational area, and State plans and associated SOPs. Where supporting plans are inconsistent with the general principles described in the State Emergency Plan, the state plan will supersede supporting plans.

SOPs provide the purpose, authorities, duration, and details for the preferred method or performing a single function or a number of interrelated functions in a uniform manner. SOPs must also facilitate the need to carry out actions under conditions that may not have been anticipated when the SOP was drafted. For example, it may be necessary to consider alternative procedures that solve a problem in order to perform in a more time-efficient or costefficient way. It is clear; therefore, some procedures may need to be suspended, relaxed, or made operational under threat of disaster. However, such action should be carefully considered, and the consequences should be projected realistically.

9.3 Training and Exercises
All city department personnel that are designated responsible for staffing the EOC are required to complete training related to emergency management operations. All designated personnel will be provided access to a copy of this plan (as noted in the Record of Distribution section of this plan) and are required to read and become familiar with the plan. The Coordinator of Emergency Services will notify holders of this plan of training opportunities associated with 25 - 64
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 61
emergency management and operations. The minimum training requirement for employees under NIMS is ICS 100 and ICS 700.

A multi-year training and exercise plan (MYTEP) may be developed and followed that will identify and prioritize the levels of training and exercises the city will follow. This MYTEP should, as best as possible, align with other trainings and exercises within the operational area to ensure practice and integration with OA partners as often as possible. The Coordinator of Emergency Services will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the MYTEP and ensure plan reviews, trainings and exercises are conducted accordingly.

Partner jurisdictions and agencies having assigned responsibilities under this plan must ensure their assigned personnel are properly trained to carry out identified responsibilities. Individual jurisdictions and agencies are responsible for maintaining their own plans, training, and program maintenance.

Training and exercises involve a variety of scopes, scales, and participation. Such training events include the following:

Drills. A drill is a small, organized exercise that tests one specific action, such as evacuation of a building, or a sheltering-in-place.

Tabletop exercises. A tabletop exercise is a discussion-based exercise in a low-stress environment to discuss a possible emergency scenario.

Functional exercise. A functional exercise is an activity designed to exercise a single function, or multiple functions through the simulation of a realistic scenario. The functional exercise is designed to simulate real conditions in the EOC, and as such as time constraints on decision making and, by its nature, allows for a more stressful environment.

Full-scale exercise. A full-scale exercise is an activity involving multiple agencies, jurisdictions, entities, organizations, etc., and exercising multiple functions through the simulation of a realistic scenario. This exercise includes the mobilization and utilization of city resources.

9.4 Essential Records Retention
Maintenance of administrative records continues through all phases of an emergency. In preparation for an emergency, training and appropriate forms are provided, including procedures for all units of potential response organization. During a response, entities ensure adequate documentation is collected through the Documentation Unit at the Incident and EOC, for activities of personnel, use of equipment, and expenditures for the emergency. Finally, after the response has been terminated, records should be protected and maintained for audit purposes for up to three years after the closeout of any Presidential disaster declaration. The Cost Unit is responsible for cost recovery records and assisting in collecting any missing information. Problem areas are identified, corrective measures taken, and employees retrained in the proper, updated procedures.

9.5 After Action Reports and Corrective Actions
25 - 65
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 1
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 62
SEMS regulations require local government agencies, to complete an After-Action Report (AAR) for each Governor proclaimed emergency. After an incident or from a gubernatorial proclamation, the AAR is completed within 120 days. Furthermore, SEMS regulations under Title XIX, Division 2, Chapter 1, Section 2450(a) requires any federal, state, or local jurisdiction proclaiming or responding to a Local Emergency for which the governor has declared a State of Emergency or State of War Emergency shall complete and transmit an AAR to Cal OES within 90 days of the close of the emergency period.

The identification of corrective actions is critical to the AAR process. Jurisdictions are strongly encouraged to make recommendations for correcting problems noted in the response/recovery effort, or during exercises and training. Corrective actions may encompass anything from detailed recommendations for improving individual agency plans and procedures to broader system-wide improvements. Corrective actions are assigned to relevant stakeholders and tracked to ensure the identified problem has been addressed.

The AAR will provide, at a minimum:
• Response actions that were taken.
• Application of SEMS during response.
• Necessary modifications to plans and procedures that are needed. • Lessons learned.
• Noted areas of improvement.
• Best practice implementations proposed.
• Training needed.
• Recovery activities conducted to date.
• Additional information as appropriate.

Findings and recommendations in the contents of the AAR will be used to further develop and update the city EOP, as necessary. AAR development will include the input of all personnel involved in the incident or exercise.

Action Plan (AP): See EOC Action Plan and Incident Action Plan.

Activation: 1) Initial activation of an EOC may be accomplished by a designated official of the emergency response agency that implements SEMS as appropriate to accomplish the agency's role in response to the emergency. 2) An event in the sequence of events normally experienced during most emergencies.

After Action Report (AAR): A report that examines response actions, application of SEMS, modifications to plans and procedures, training needs, and recovery activities. AARs are required under SEMS after any emergency that requires a gubernatorial state of emergency proclamation. Local government AARs must be submitted to Cal OES within 90 days.

Agency: A division of government with a specific function offering a particular kind of assistance. In the Incident Command System (ICS), agencies are defined either as jurisdictional (having statutory responsibility for incident management) or as assisting or cooperating (providing resources or other assistance). Governmental organizations are most often in charge of an incident, though in certain circumstances private sector organizations may be included.

Additionally, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) may be included to provide support. AllHazards: Any incident, natural or human-caused, that warrants action to protect life, property, environment, public health, or safety, and minimize disruptions of government, social, or economic activities.

California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement (MMAA): An agreement entered by and between the State of California, its various departments and agencies, and the various political subdivisions, municipal corporations, and public agencies of the State of California to assist each other by providing resources during an emergency. Mutual Aid occurs when two or more parties agree to furnish resources and facilities and to render services to each other in response to any type of disaster or emergency. California Emergency Support Functions (CA-ESF): The CA-ESFs are a grouping of State agencies, departments, and other stakeholders with similar functional activities/responsibilities whose responsibilities lend to improving the state’s ability to collaboratively prepare for, effectively mitigate, cohesively respond to, and rapidly recover from any emergency. CA-ESFs unify a broad-spectrum of stakeholders with various capabilities, resources, and authorities to improve collaboration and coordination for a particular discipline. They also provide a framework for the state government to support regional and community stakeholder collaboration and coordination at all levels of government and across overlapping jurisdictional boundaries.

California Emergency Services Act (ESA): An Act within the California Government Code to ensure preparations within the state will be adequate to deal with natural, human-caused, or war-caused emergencies which result in conditions of disaster or in extreme peril to life, property, and the natural resources of the state, and generally to protect the health and safety and preserve the lives and property of the people of the state.

Catastrophe: Any natural or human-caused incident, including terrorism that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the population, infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and/or government functions. 25 - 72

Command: The act of directing, ordering, or controlling by virtue of explicit statutory, regulatory, or delegated authority.

Command/Management: Command is responsible for the directing, ordering, and/or controlling of resources at the field response level. Management is responsible for overall emergency policy and coordination at the SEMS EOC levels.

Command Post: See Incident Command Post.

Command Staff: The Command Staff at the SEMS Field Level consists of the Information Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. They report directly to the Incident Commander.

They may have an assistant or assistants, as needed. These officers are also found at the EOC levels in SEMS and they report directly to the EOC Director and comprise the Management Staff. They may have an assistant or assistants, as needed.

Communications: Process of the transmission of information through verbal, written, or symbolic means.

Continuity of Government (COG): Activities that address the continuance of constitutional governance. COG planning aims to preserve and/or reconstitute the institution of government and ensure that a department or agency’s constitutional, legislative, and/or administrative responsibilities are maintained. This is accomplished through succession of leadership, the predelegation of emergency authority, and active command and control during response and recovery operations.

Continuity of Operations (COOP): Planning should be instituted, including all levels of governments, across the private sector and non-governmental organizations as appropriate, to ensure the continued performance of core capabilities and/or critical government operations during any potential incident.

Coordination: The process of systematically analyzing a situation, developing relevant information, and informing appropriate command authority of viable alternatives for selection of the most effective combination of available resources to meet specific objectives. The coordination process (which can be either intra- or inter-agency) does not involve dispatch actions. However, personnel responsible for coordination may perform command or dispatch functions within the limits established by specific agency delegations, procedures, legal authority, etc. Multiagency or interagency coordination is found at all SEMS levels.

ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during incidents. It is used for all kinds of emergencies and is applicable to small as well as large and complex incidents. ICS is used by various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private, to organize field-level incident management operations.

Information: Pieces of raw, unanalyzed data that identifies persons, evidence, events; or illustrates processes that specify the occurrence of an event. May be objective or subjective and is intended for both internal analysis and external (news media) application. Information is the “currency” that produces intelligence.

Intelligence: Product of an analytical process that evaluates information collected from diverse sources, integrates the relevant information into a cohesive package, and produces a conclusion or estimate. Information must be real, accurate, and verified before it becomes intelligence for planning purposes.

1 EOC Activation

1.1 EOC Purpose
The City EOC is a central location from which the City can provide inter-agency coordination and executive decision-making in support of incident response and recovery operations. The purpose of the EOC is to provide a centralized location where public safety, emergency response, and support agencies coordinate planning, preparedness, and response activities.

The EOC does not command or control on-scene response efforts, but does carry out the coordination functions through:

1. Collecting, evaluating and disseminating incident information.

2. Analyzing jurisdictional impacts and setting priority actions; and

3. Managing requests, procurement, and utilization of resources.

The decisions made through the EOC are designed to be broad in scope and offer general guidance on priorities. Information is disseminated through the EOC Manager/Director and tactical decisions are coordinated from field response personnel. The EOC serves as a coordinated link between the Chief Elected Official (CEO) of each jurisdiction and the field personnel coordinating the execution of event priorities.

1.2 EOC Facilities

1.2.3 Initial Response
Initial field response operations will be accomplished by the appropriate City departments, member jurisdictions, volunteer agencies, and segments of the private sector. During initial response operations, field responders will place emphasis on saving lives, property, and the environment, controlling the situation, and minimizing the effects of the emergency. The Incident Command System will be used to manage and control the response operations.

The disaster/event may be controlled solely by City emergency responders or with other agencies through the mutual aid system. If the resources available at the field response level are not sufficient to mitigate the situation, the Incident Commander may request that the City Emergency Operations Plan, or the Emergency Operations Center, be activated to support the field operations.

Field Reports. A field report is provided by the incident responders and includes information concerning the nature, severity, and extent of the situation. The information will be used to assess the extent of the disaster/event and determine the appropriate level of response for the City.

1.2.3 Levels of EOC Activation
The City EOC may be activated as needed to support City emergency operations. The EOC may be activated by one of the following:
• City Manager
• City Manager designated alternate
• Upon the request of the City Council/Disaster Council • Upon the request of the Field Incident Commander (Battalion Chief, Fire Chief or Police Chief)
The City has developed EOC activation criteria that include conditions based on a hazard analysis as well as regulatory requirements. The goal is a rapid EOC activation when it is needed.

Three levels of activation have been identified that will provide EOC staffing commensurate with the coordination needs of varying emergency situations. Table 3: EOC Activation Criteria, contains the activation criteria for the City EOC.

Table 3: EOC Activation Criteria

1.3 EOC Notification/Personnel Recall
If EOC activation is required, the City Dispatch will notify everyone on the EOC Recall List and provide directions to the primary EOC. If the primary EOC is not available or is inaccessible, an alternate EOC will be activated.
25 - 98
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 2
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 15
The EOC Emergency Recall List includes personnel who are part of each SEMS function in the Emergency Operations Center, as well as other technical support employees of the City. The Emergency Recall List is to be activated and implemented when an emergency or disaster affects the City and poses a major threat to life, property, and/or the environment.

Maintenance of Emergency Recall List: The City Manager’s Office maintains the Emergency Recall List. The City Manager’s Office ensures that City Dispatch, and the EOC have current copies of the Emergency Recall List. The Emergency Recall list is activated by City Dispatch and will only be implemented when directed by one of the following County employees:
• City Manager
• City Manager designated alternate
• Upon the request of the City Council/Disaster Council • Upon the request of the Field Incident Commander and approval of the City Manager of City Manager designated alternate
Notification Implementation: Once EOC activation is requested and properly authorized, the Emergency Recall List will be implemented by City Dispatch personnel. Notifications and alerts begin with the City Manager. If the City Manager cannot be reached, other designees will be contacted until someone is reached to assume the EOC Manager/Director position.

The dispatchers will provide the EOC Manager/Director with a complete status of the incident or disaster, identifying damage sustained, current response actions, resource status, etc. Based on the information provided by the dispatcher, the EOC Manager/Director will determine what parts of the Emergency Alert List will be implemented, including what sections of the City’s Emergency Operations Center will be activated and requested to respond.

Additionally, the EOC Manager/Director, when appropriate, will personally contact and inform the City Council of the situation in the City. The EOC Manager/Director may request that the dispatchers notify the Operational Area of the EOC activation.

The City Emergency Recall List consists of the following sections:
• Management
• Operations
• Planning
• Finance
• Logistics
Recall Personnel: When notified of an Emergency Recall, personnel should notify their families, retrieve their emergency operations go bag, and report to the designated City Emergency Operations Center. Personnel should be prepared for a lengthy stay, which will be dependent upon the nature of the disaster and its expected duration.

It is the responsibility of each department head to assign three (3) alternates for each key position. It is also the department head’s responsibility to ensure that all designated alternates have knowledge and training in their EOC assigned job functions. The Disaster Management Area Coordinator (DMAC) will assist in Emergency Operations training. 25 - 99

CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 16
2 EOC Operations

2.1 Summary of EOC Operations
The Standard Emergency Management System (SEMS) is state law, and under SEMS regulations, the City falls under Local Government, one of the five SEMS levels.

As Local Government, the City is an intermediate level of the state's emergency services organization that encompasses the city and all political subdivisions. The City manages and coordinates information, resources and priorities within its boundaries, and serves as the coordination and communication link between the Field Level and the Operational Area.

The City as the Local Government level of SEMS is responsible for:
• Establish coordination and communications with Incident Commanders either; • Through department operations centers to the EOC, when activated or, • Directly to the EOC, when activated
• Use existing mutual aid systems for coordinating fire and law enforcement resources.

Note that the City’s role as the local government does not change the coordination of discipline-specific resources, such as fire, law, and medical/health, through their established mutual aid systems.
• Establish coordination and communications between the local government EOC when activated, and any federal, state or local emergency response agency having jurisdiction at an incident within the local government's boundaries. • Use multi-agency or inter-agency coordination to facilitate decisions for overall local government level emergency response activities

2.2 Emergency Operation Center Protocols
An EOC provides a central location of authority and information and allows for face-to-face coordination among personnel who must make emergency decisions. The following functions are performed in the City EOC:
• Managing and coordinating emergency operations.
• Receiving and disseminating warning information.
• Developing emergency policies and procedures.
• Collecting intelligence from, and disseminating information to, the various EOC representatives, and, as appropriate, to County/Operational Area, State and Federal agencies or if activated Emergency Operation Centers.
• Preparing intelligence/information summaries, situation reports, operational reports, and other reports as required.
• Maintaining general and specific maps, information display boards, and other data pertaining to emergency operations.
• Continuing analysis and evaluation of all data pertaining to emergency operations. • Controlling and coordinating, within established policy, the operational and logistical support of departmental resources committed to the emergency. • Maintaining contact and coordination with support DOCs and the Operational Area EOC. 25 - 100
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 2
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 17
• Providing emergency information and instructions to the public, making official releases to the news media and the scheduling of press conferences, as necessary.

Departments with critical response functions may also activate their Department Operation Centers (DOC) that act as conduits of information between field operations and the EOC.

2.3 Management Organization
The SEMS regulation requires local governments to provide for five functions: management, operations, planning/intelligence, logistics, and finance/administration. These functions, as seen in Table 4: SEMS Functions are the basis for structuring the City EOC organization.

Primary SEMS Function Role of Local Government Level
Management Responsible for overall emergency policy and coordination through joint efforts of governmental agencies and private organizations Operations
Responsible for coordinating all jurisdictional operations in support of the emergency response through implementation of the local government’s action plan.

Planning/Intelligence
Responsible for collecting, evaluating, and disseminating information; developing the local government action plan in coordination with other functions; and maintaining documentation.

Logistics Responsible for providing facilities, services, personnel, equipment, and materials.

Finance/Administration
Responsible for financial activities and other administrative aspects, including documenting all costs and expenditures associated with a declared disaster.

Table 4: SEMS Functions
The organizational structure for the City EOC provides for:
• Representatives from the Operational Area
• Mutual Aid Coordinators or their representatives from discipline-specific mutual aid systems
• Coordinators for other major functions needed for mutual aid and inter-jurisdictional coordination
• Representatives from other agencies, community-based organizations, private sector, and volunteer service programs to function as liaison between their organizations and the City EOC
• Other functions as needed to carry out the local government responsibilities of the lead agency

2.4 Resource Management
Resource requests from the field and city departments and requests to the operational area level will be made through one of the following processes:
25 - 101
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 2
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 18
• Discipline-specific mutual aid systems: requests for resources that are normally within the inventories of the mutual aid system will go from local coordinator to Operational Area Mutual Aid Coordinator to Regional Mutual Aid Coordinator. • All other resource requests will be made through appropriate branches in the Operations Section who will then initiate the resource request through the Logistics Section at each level with emphasis on the need for lateral coordination with other EOC functions.

Resource requests from field and city departments will be coordinated within the City EOC to determine if the resource is available within City supplies. Available resources will be allocated as they are available.

If requests for a specific resource exceed the supply, the available resources will be allocated by the Operations Section consistent with priorities established through the action planning process. The EOC Management Staff is responsible for ensuring that priorities are followed.

Resources not available within the City will be requested through the Operational Area level.

Resource requests should be coordinated internally at the city/local government level before being placed to the Operational Area level.

Functional coordinators in Operations and Logistics are responsible for tracking resource requests.

2.5 EOC Information Management
Within the City EOC, the EOC Forms will be used to provide written communications between the Sections, Branches and Units. Each Section, Branch and Unit will use these forms to order disaster/event related resources and to record information to be transmitted to other Sections/Branches/Units. This system provides an audit trail of all pertinent information necessary to document the actions taken by the City during the response to a disaster, rather than every word uttered between the various EOC Staff.

EOC Forms will not replace face-to-face communications but will ensure a paper trail of critical verbal communication is maintained, if not recorded on the individual’s or Section's/Branches'/Units' duty logs. City EOC Forms and other pertinent documents and templates are located in the Form and Tools section of this plan.

Acting as the Local Government, the City coordinates emergency activities within its boundaries, augmenting, not replacing, any member jurisdiction’s emergency operations. It also serves as the communications link between the field and the Operational Area. It provides a single point of contact for information on the emergency situation, as well as resource needs and priorities.

Transmission of information to the Operational Area Emergency Operations Center will be accomplished electronically via the Operational Area Response and Recovery System (OARRS) is a web-based system that functions as the OA’s primary tool for agencies/jurisdictions and other operational area partners to report their status and needs to the OA.

Critical information from the City to the Operational Area EOC will be submitted via OARRS on a Preliminary Report, Situation Summary, Status Report, and a Flash Report. 25 - 102
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 2
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 19
Preliminary Report. The Preliminary Report form will be used by the City to transmit information to the Operational Area Emergency Operations Center during the first two hours after an event.

Situation Summary. The Situation summary is an assessment of the emergency and identifies major incidents/problems and response and recovery priorities. It is intended for use after the first two hours of an event.

Status Report. The Status Report is informational, providing data about the effects of the emergency in several categories. The Status Report and Situation Summary will be transmitted to the State together.

Flash Report. The Flash Report is used to transmit vital and/or time-sensitive information between the State and County/Operational Area outside regularly scheduled Situation Summaries and Status Reports.

Resource requests will be made through one of the following processes:
• Discipline-specific mutual aid systems: Requests for resources that are normally within the inventories of the mutual aid system will go from Local Coordinator to Operational Area Mutual Aid Coordinator to the Regional Mutual Aid Coordinator. • All other resource requests will be made through the operations and logistics functions at each level.

Resource requests from jurisdictions within the City will be coordinated to determine if the resource is available from other departments or other sources within the City. Mutual Aid Coordinators at each level will keep the Operations Chiefs informed of the status of resource requests and allocations. Mutual Aid Coordinators at each level will communicate and coordinate with each other to maintain current status on resource requests and allocations within the disaster area.

Resource requests to the Operational Area are usually submitted through CALEOC. Available resources will be allocated to the requesting local government. If requests for a specific resource exceed the supply, the available resources will be allocated consistent with the priorities established through the action planning process. The Section Chiefs of the Operational Area EOC are responsible for ensuring that priorities are followed.

Resources that are not available within the Operational Area will be requested through the regional level, the State's Coastal Region EOC. Resource requests should be coordinated internally at the Operational Area level before being forwarded to the regional level. The Resource Status Unit Leader in the Logistics Section, in coordination with various Operations Branches, is responsible for tracking resource requests.

2.6 EOC Action Planning
The use of action plans in the City EOC ensures a clear and measurable process for identifying objectives and priorities for a given event. Action planning is an important management tool that involves:
25 - 103
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 2
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 20
• A process for identifying priorities and objectives for emergency response or recovery efforts
• Plans which document the priorities and objectives, and the tasks and personnel assignments associated with meeting the objectives
The action planning process should involve the EOC Director and Section Chiefs (which includes the Chiefs of each Section), along with other EOC staff, as needed, such as special districts, and other agency representatives.

The Planning and Intelligence Section is responsible for facilitating the action planning meeting and completing and distributing the action plan. Action plans are developed for a specified operational period, which may range from a few hours to 24 hours. The operational period is determined by first establishing a set of priority actions that need to be performed. A reasonable time frame is then established for accomplishing those actions.

The action plans need not be complex but should be sufficiently detailed to guide EOC elements in implementing the priority actions. Guidelines for developing action plans and an action plan format are contained in the Forms and Tools section.

2.7 EOC Coordination
Inter-agency coordination inside and outside the EOC is important for:
• Establishing overall priorities
• Allocating critical resources
• Development of strategies for handling multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional response problems
• Sharing information
• Facilitating communications
Inter-agency coordination is an integral part of the functioning of a City EOC. The EOC is staffed by representatives from the departments and agencies working together to coordinate the City’s emergency response. Agency representatives from local governments including special districts, community-based organizations, volunteer services programs (VSPs), and private organizations, may also participate with EOC functional elements in coordinating the city response effort. Coordination with agencies not represented in the EOC may be accomplished through telecommunications, satellite, or other electronic means.

2.7.1 Field Responders
City EOC communications and coordination must be established with city field responders who are responding to the emergency. When no Departmental Operations Centers (DOCs) are activated, the Incident Commander(s) operating in the field will report directly to the Operations Section Chief in the City EOC, via the City dispatchers or through other methods that are available.

When City Departments (Public Works for example) have activated their DOCs, the Field Incident Commander will continue to report directly to the Operations Section Chief in the City EOC and provide status reports to their DOC.
25 - 104
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 2
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 21

2.7.2 Departmental Operation Centers (DOCs)
The appropriate City EOC Section/Branch/Unit will coordinate with DOCs to obtain information for advance planning, logistical needs, available personnel and equipment resources, and other information as required. The DOCs will assist the City EOC in supporting field operations.

2.7.3 Operation Area
During EOC activation, direct communications and coordination may be established with the Operational Area and any Operational Area member jurisdictions, specifically is emergency incident falls between the City limits and a neighbor jurisdiction. Initially, communications will be established by any means available and with whoever is available, regardless of their functional EOC position. Ideally, communications and coordination with the Operation Area EOC and neighboring City EOCs will occur along functional lines.

Whenever feasible, an agency representative from the City should report to the Operational Area EOC, when the City EOC has been activated. The city representatives will ensure that adequate coordination and information exchange arrangements are made with the Operational Area.

2.7.4 Private and Volunteer Agencies
Coordination of response activities with many non-governmental agencies may occur, primarily at the field level. However, the City EOC will establish coordination with private and volunteer agencies that have multi-jurisdictional or city-wide response roles. The agencies that play key roles in the response should have representatives at the City EOC.

Coordination with volunteer and private agencies that do not have representatives in the EOC may be accomplished through telecommunications.

2.7.5 Special Districts and Utilities (Schools, So Cal Gas, SCE and Metro Transit) The emergency response role of special districts is generally focused on their normal services or functional area of responsibility. Ideally, the special district involved in the emergency response will have a representative at the City EOC, serving as the focal point of coordination and work with other local government representatives in the EOC. If a special district is unable to send a representative, then the Liaison Officer in the EOC will be responsible for establishing communications and coordination with the special district.

2.7.6 Region Emergency Operations Center
Direct coordination and communications with the Southern Region Emergency Operations Center (REOC) is essential. There is one primary method and one alternate method for the Operational Area to coordinate with the Regional EOC:
• Primary Method - The REOC sends a field representative to the Operational Area • Alternate Method - The Operational Area and the REOC coordinate through various telecommunications systems
25 - 105
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN, PART 2
CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA, CA 22
Coordination and communications between the County EOC and the Region EOC will occur between the five SEMS functions. Direct coordination and communications will also be established between the Operational Area Mutual Aid Coordinators, who are located in the County EOC, and the Region's Mutual Aid Coordinator, who are located in the State's Coastal Region EOC. These coordinators may be functioning from their respective Operational Area and regional EOCs or from other locations depending on the situation and the mutual aid system.

2.7.7 State & Federal Field Response
There are some instances where a state or federal agency will be part of a field response in the county. State agency field response may result of a flood fight effort, oil spill, hazardous materials accident or other hazard scenarios. Federal field response could result from the same scenarios or a military aircraft accident, where the federal military authorities are the Incident Commander.

When a state agency or federal agency is involved in field operations, coordination will be established with the City EOC. State or federal agencies operating in the field may be found in any ICS section, branch, or unit; or part of a Unified Command. The incident will determine their location.
