Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
1 INTRODUCTION
The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the City of Sunnyvale outlines authorities, organizational structures, and procedures used to coordinate activities related to local and regional emergencies or disasters.

The City and surrounding region are susceptible to several hazards such as natural disasters and human-caused events, as well as technological failures and pandemics. While the risk profiles for these hazards are regularly quantified and assessed in related documents 1, the EOP utilizes an “all-hazards” approach to ensure the City is able to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against all potential hazards and critical incidents.

PURPOSE
The primary purpose of the EOP is to:
1) Outline the City’s framework for managing preparedness, response, recove ry, and mitigation activities inclusive of City departments, personnel, and elected officials. 2) Serve as a foundational document under which additional operational and tactical annexes, appendices, and plans can be attached.
3) Codify the City’s understanding and adoption of state and federal response constructs through which operational coordination, mutual aid, and other requests for support will be integrated. 4) Demonstrate compliance with state and federal laws and regulations such as the California Emergency Services Act2
SCOPE
The EOP serves as the foundational element of the City’s approach to emergency management. While all City resources may be called upon as needed, specific departmental responsibilities are outlined in the EOP Basic Plan and associated annexes. To ensure the City is adequately prepared, all City departments are required to actively participate in preparedness and planning activities to include the development of departmental plans, policies, and procedures as necessary to fulfill their assigned roles and obligations.

The EOP embraces the "Whole Community" approach to emergency management and, in addition to City resources, recognizes the roles of special districts, non -governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), private-sector businesses, educational institutions, and other stakeholders. Additionally, the EOP is intended to reflect the wide variety of support that may be required by residents, visitors, and businesses, includi ng people with disabilities and others with access or functional needs.

LIMITATIONS
While many of the organizational and operational constructs outlined in the EOP are designed for flexibility and can be utilized as needed to address a number of emergency and non-emergency events, some activities require

Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
2 special activation or a formal disaster declaration by the City Manager. Similarly, the EOP is not meant to outline procedures for routine incidents or minor emergencies which are adequately addressed throu gh existing processes.

The EOP identifies operational strategies and plans for managing inherently complex and potentially catastrophic events. As such, City assets, resources, and departments are potentially vulnerable and may become overwhelmed. Deviations from the organizational and response structures outlined in the EOP may be required based upon evolving needs and available resources. With this in mind, the EOP was designed to promote flexibility whenever possible and is not intended to limit the use of good judgment and common sense in matters not foreseen or adequately addressed by elements of the EOP and its associated annexes, appendices, or plans.

SITUATION
The City of Sunnyvale is in Santa Clara County, approximately 44 miles south of San Francisco, and 10 miles north of San Jose. The C ity encompasses an area o f approximately 22 square miles and has more than 155,000 residents,3 making it the fifth largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second largest in Santa Clara County.

Sunnyvale is currently home to a number of large and notable companies such as Yahoo, NetApp, Advanced Micro Devices, Juniper Networks, LinkedIn and Lockheed Martin Space Systems which contribute to a daytime population of approximately 230,000 including the non-resident workforce.4 Consistent with much of the San Francisco Bay area , Sunnyvale is susceptible to a wide variety of hazards including natural disast ers and human -caused events , as well as technological failures and pandemics. An analysis and quantification of the most prevalent hazards can be found in the Santa Clara County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) 5, which is updated every five years and i ncludes an annex specific to the City of Sunnyvale.

While the City’s ha zard environment fluctuates and is highly influenced by a number of external and seasonal factors such as the weather and geopolitical trends, a number of hazards have consistently been identified as priorities including utility disruptions, earthquakes, floods, drought and hazardous material spills. The City actively participates in the LHMP development process and utilizes the outcomes to address and mitigate against these and other identified hazards to the extent feasible.

In addition, the Santa Clara County LHMP specifically identifies climate change as an “amplifier” of existing hazards including flooding, heat waves and other extreme weather events. While recognizing the complexity of the issue, the City supports efforts to better understand the factors influencing climate change as they relate to current and future planning, development, and policy decisions.

3 PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions were used during the development of the EOP:
• The City of Sunnyvale is susceptible to several hazards that may result in critical incidents. • Protection of lives, property, and the environment is the responsibility of local government • Although not fully quantified, climate change is a contributing factor to several potential hazards. • Critical incidents include a variety of natural, technological, or man-made emergencies and disasters. • Some critical incidents will provide advanced warning while others will occur suddenly. • All departments will participate in planning and preparedness activities, as required. • Personnel will be adequately trained to perform the roles in which they are assigned. • The EOC will be partially or fully activated to support operations during significant critical incidents or when deemed necessary to manage a pre-planned large-scale event or incident. City personnel may be unable or unavailable to report to work or as assigned.

• Non-essential operations may be reduced or cancelled to prioritize resources for other needs. • Mutual aid and other assistance will be requested when City resources are inadequate. • Outside assistance and support may be unavailable for extended periods of time. • Communications equipment and infrastructure may be damaged or disrupted. • Infrastructure may be damaged or disrupted and access to critical facilities may be blocked. • Critical infrastructure and utilities such as natural gas, water, and electricity may be severely impacted. • Residents may need to be self-sufficient for one week or more. • Additional planning, resources, and support will be needed to support people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs.

4 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The City actively maintains a program to promote, coordinate, and advance the four phases of emergency management: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. The City Manager is the statutory director of the emergency management program, and the Office of Emergency Services has been delegated responsibility to coordinate these activities.

While the four phases of emergency management demonstrate the typical evolution of activities related to a specific hazard, they are not necessarily dependent upon each other and often overlap or are conducted concurrently to address several different hazards.

PREPAREDNESS
The Preparedness Phase includes activities undertaken prior to an emergency to improve the City’s ability to coordinate, respond, and recover from a critical incident. These activities focus on maintaining or improving capabilities that will be used in the response or recovery phases. The City’s preparedness activities emphasize emergency planning and training as well as public education and outreach. The City also conducts drills and exercises regularly to validate ongoing activities, identify areas for improvement, and prioritize or justify future effort and funding.

In recognition of the number and wide variety of potential hazards facing the region, the City has adopted an “all-hazards” approach to planning and preparedness. While not restricting the development of specialty or tactical plans, this model focuses on the developme nt of core capabilities through which the full spectrum of potential hazards and critical incidents can be addressed.

Planning
Emergency planning includes a wide variety of plans at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Strategic plans include the EOP and many of its associated hazard specific or functional annexes, while operational and tactical planning includes more granular information such as standard operating procedures (SOPs), checklists, personnel assignments, notification rosters, and resource lists. All City departments are required to participate in the development of relevant strategic and operational plans while ensuring that internal tactical planning is sufficient to meet the needs of their outlined roles and assigned objectives.

Training
Training is an essential component of preparedness and greatly impacts the City’s ability to respond to, and recover from, a critical incident. City Departments regularly provide internal training while the Office of Emergency Services coordinates access to local, state, and federal training opportunities. The Office of Emergency Services also provides training to emergency response volunteer groups such as the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the Sunnyvale Amat eur Radio Service ( SARES). Refer to the Staffing Annex for more information.

Figure 1: Emergency Phases
Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
5 The City actively manages training activities and allocates funding in relation to fluctuating needs, personnel turnover, and course availability. In addition, the City consistently prioritizes traini ng that promotes staff and volunteer understanding and familiarity with the following concepts:
• Incident Command System (ICS)
• California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) • National Incident Management System (NIMS)
• California Disaster Service Worker (DSW)
Exercises
Exercises are the primary tool for assessing preparedness activities and identifying areas for improvement while allowing all levels of personnel to simulate their response and recovery roles in a learning environment. The City follows the best practices of the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP), including the building block concept of seminars, small-scale tabletop exercises, functional exercises, and full-scale exercises.

The City uses a wide variety of exercises to regularly assess critical capabilities and prioritize future planning and training needs. By simulating potential response or recovery scenarios, the City is able to validate existing plans while determining if and where additional training is required.

Awareness and Education
The City actively promotes public awareness and education to strengthen overall preparedness and resiliency.

By providing community education, outreach, training, and coordination, the City increases the ability of community members and organizations to adequately prepare for and meet their own needs. By promoting self- reliance and individual preparedness, the City reduces the overall burden on limited resources and competing needs that emerge during critical incidents. OES provides incident management and preparedness information in the form of brochures, flyers, and booklets at various public education events. OES also utilizes social media to disseminate preparedness information to the public and stakeholders.

RESPONSE
The Response Phase includes any actions taken immediately before, during, or directly after a critical incident in order to minimize the potential or existing impacts of the incident.

Pre-Event Response
Some incidents, such as those related to severe weather, may provide sufficient warning to allow for pre-event or precautionary measures. Depending upon the probability and likelihood of significant impacts, pre -event response activities may include:
• Public Warning
• Evacuations
• Supply Distribution
• Resource Mobilization
• Staging
• Mutual Aid Requests
• Proclamation of a Local Emergency
Emergency Response
Emergency response activities are actions taken during, or in the immediate afterma th, of a critical incident to reduce actual impacts. While these activities are most often associated with traditional response agencies including law enforcement, fire protection, emergency medical services (EMS), utilities, and public works, the Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
6 size and complexity of an incident may require robust support from additional governmental agencies, NGOs, CERT, SARES, and other partners. As a result, comprehensive stakeholder participation during the development and socialization of relevant strategic, operat ional, and tactical plans can greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these emergency response activities.

When coordinating emergency response activities and addressing competing needs and objectives, the City utilizes the following prioritization hierarchy:
1) Support Life Safety
2) Protect Property
3) Reduce Impacts to the Environment
Emergency response may also include activities related to short -term recovery and often overlaps with long - term recovery operations.

Disaster Service Workers
Consistent with California Government Code 6, government employees ( excluding non-naturalized aliens), are Disaster Service Workers (DSW). When a disaster occurs, each employee will be expected to perform certain duties to assist the community in returning to normal as soon as possible. Some volunteer groups are registered as DSWs, such as CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) and SARES (Sunnyvale Amateur Radio Emergency Service). Spontaneous volunteers may be registered as DSWs during the disaster.

RECOVERY
The Recovery Phase includes short- and long-term activities focused on returning the community to pre-incident conditions. In some instances when a state or federal disaster declaration has been made, recovery activities include the critical task of identifying, documenting, and quantifying response and recovery costs eligible for reimbursement.

Short-term Recovery
Short-term recovery operations begin during the response phase and may include activities such as the restoration of essential services, rapid debris removal, and the re-establishment of City services.

Long-term Recovery
Long-term recovery operations are often required to address extensive damage to infrastructure. Activities include the restoration and reconstruction of public facilities and disaster response cost recovery . Long-term recovery may also include policy decisions such as changes to zoning ordinances or permit processes in support of redevelopment and economic or community resilience.

Disaster Assistance Programs
Disaster assistance programs may be available for the following:
• Individuals – may be eligible for loans and grants for housing assistance programs (for homeowners and renters), and uninsured disaster -related necessities (including personal property, medica l, dental, and transportation expenses). Other programs including crisis counseling, disaster unemployment

6 See California Government Code (Section 3100)
Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
7 assistance, and legal services may be available. In addition, various NGOs such as the American Red Cross, Mennonite Disaster Services, and the Salvation Army, provide recovery assistance to individuals, families, and community organizations such as basic necessities, shelter, clothing, and housing. CADRE (Collaborating Agencies’ Disaster Relief Effort) is the Santa Clara County designated VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) and can assist with coordination and will establish a long-term recovery group for individuals.
• Businesses – may be eligible for low -interest loans to assist with uninsured damage through the U.S.

Small Business Admini stration (SBA). Programs for agricultural assistance in the form of low -interest loans for economic losses may be available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). • Government – assistance is available through state assistance under the Californ ia Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA), as well as several federal programs including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). • Non-profit organizations – assistance is available through state assistance under the CDAA, as well as several federal programs including FEMA PA Grant Program for eligible non-profit organizations.

Damage Assessment
Damage assessment activities involve identifying, recording, compiling, and analyzing damage to determine the type of recovery assistance needed. Following major disasters, a Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) is used to determine eligibility for state and federal financial assistance and reimbursement.

Recovery Documentation
Documentation is the key to recovering eligible emergency response and recovery costs. Damage assessment documentation will be critical in establishing the basis for eligibility of disaster assistance programs. Various state and federal assistance programs require different types of documentation for eligible costs and in addition to structural damage, may include staff time, equipment, and materials utilized in response to the incident. To support the maximum recovery of eligible reimbursement, City departments and agencies must identify and support internal mechanisms for tracking and documenting appropriate costs.

Recovery Organization
With support and oversight from the City Council, the City Manager is responsible for managing overarching recovery activities. The Finance Department will manage activities specific to financial recovery and during the active response phase or immediate aftermath of an emergency , short-term recovery activities should be coordinated with the City’s Office of Emergency Services and the EOC, if activated. Depending upon the size and impact of the event, significant support from other City departments may be required.

After Action Report
As part of the recovery phase, and in accordance with SEMS, the State of California re quires7 any city and/or county declaring a local emergency for which the governor proclaims a state of emergency, to complete and transmit an after-action report to the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) within 90 days of the close of the incident period. The after-action report shall include and address, at a minimum:

7 SEMS Section 2450(a)
Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
8 • A review of response actions taken.
• The application of SEMS.
• Suggested modifications to SEMS.
• Necessary modifications to plans and procedures.
• Identified training needs.
• Recovery activities to date.

MITIGATION
The Mitigation Phase includes actions and measures taken to reduce or eliminate the degree of long -term risk from natural and technological hazards. Whereas preparedness activities increase the City’s ability to respond to the impacts of a hazard, mitigation activities reduce the potential for those impacts in the future, thereby reducing overall risk. A number of mitigation activities are available and may include the implementation, augmentation, or promotion of the following:
• Building and Safety Codes
• Disaster/Fire/Flood Insurance
• Land Use Planning and Management
• Hazard Research and Analysis
• Land and Repetitive Loss Acquisition
• Monitoring and Inspection
• Public Outreach and Education
• Relocation
• Risk Mapping
• Safety Codes, Statutes, and Ordinances
• Tax Incentives and Disincentives
• Seismic Strengthening or Retrofitting
Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City actively participates in formal mitigation activities including the development of the Santa Clara County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan8. The City’s current mitigation strategy has been codified as an annex to the County plan.

WHOLE COMMUNITY APPROACH
The City’s ability to respond and recover from significant emergencies and major dis asters is highly dependent upon planning for the unique needs and specific requirements of the City’s residents and non -resident commuters and visitors. To further identify and meet these needs, the City has adopted a “Whole Community” approach in which the inclusion and integration of community partners, neighbors, and other stakeholders is actively promoted in all phases of emergency management. Through these collaborative efforts, the City will become more resilient and better prepared to meet the needs of its residents and daytime populace alike, especially those with disabilities and others with access and functional needs.

Private Sector Coordination
The City of Sunnyvale is home to a div erse and vibrant business community including traditional retail and entertainment sectors as well as some of the largest and most well-known companies in the world. Representing

Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
9 tens of thousands of employees, the business community swells the City’s dayt ime population and serves as a foundation for economic prosperity. The City actively engages with the private sector to better understand their needs, identify resources, and develop partnerships. Many of the City’s private sector partners proactively address preparedness planning internally to limit business disruptions and support the wellbei ng of their employees. They also offer their resources and technical capabilities to the larger community. The City acknowledges this valuable support and will continue collaborative efforts with the private sector as an integral component of the City’s overarching emergency management program.

People with Disabilities
People with disabilities often require additional planning and support to ensure they receive equal access and coverage under emergency preparedness and response programs as required under the Stafford Act9 as well as other state and federal legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 199010. Covered disabilities are not always apparent and may include impairments of mobility, vision, and hearing as well as some cognitive disorders and mental illnesses.

The City has a diverse population representing a wide variety of people with disabilities. To meet the needs of these individuals, the City is committed to ongoing planning and preparedness activities designed to improve and validate capabilities in support of people with disabilities, including but not limited to:
• Notification and warning procedures
• Evacuation, transportation, and sheltering considerations • Accommodations for Service Animals
• Accessibility to information
In addition, the City looks to integrate people with disabilities and their advocates directly into preparedness activities such as plan development and review. These efforts have included targeted outreach to publicize the development of this EOP and solicit input and participation in the subsequent development and review of associated operational annexes and appendices.

Individuals with Access and Functional Needs
In addition to people with disabilities, the City recognizes that additional support may also be needed to support those with access and functional needs.11 A large segment of the City has access or functional needs that will need to be addressed to ensure equitable treatment. The City’s planning, policies, strategies, operations, and tactics will make every effort to integrate the needs of the whole population including the needs of individuals with Access and Functional Needs (AFN). AFN includes:
• Individuals who have limited English proficiency, or have limited ability to speak, see, hear, or understand.
• Individuals who may require specific medications, supplies, services, durable medical equipment, electricity for life maintaining equipment, breastfeeding and infant/childcare, or nutrition. • Individuals who function independently with assistance from mobility devices or assistive technology, vision and communication aids, or service animals.
• Individuals who may need support and safety.

Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
10 • Individuals who lack access to personal transportation are unable to drive due to decreased or impaired mobility that may come with age and/or disability, temporary conditions, injury, or legal restriction.

The City's disaster response goals and objectives will make every effort to consider the needs of the whole community including children, individuals with disabilities, those with access and functional needs, and other members of the general population. The City will ensure the American Red Cross established shelters meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.

The need to formally engage representatives from all cultural groups and people with access and functional needs has been starkly demonstrated as the nature and scope of disasters recently impacting the City, Santa Clara County, and the State of California, have grown in intensity and severity year after year. For the City to be effective in addressing future disasters, it must integrate the needs of all the city’s diverse population to avoid disproportionate impacts to some of our most vulnerable communities. This EOP intends to incorporate mechanisms and processes that account for the City’s diverse population and acc ess and functional needs in a meaningful and inclusive manner to ensure all community members are disaster-ready and resilient, regardless of their circumstances.

Efforts are taken during the phases of emergency management to focus on the City’s diverse p opulation and most vulnerable community members including those with access and functional needs. Needs of the community considered include but are not limited to cultural competency in emergency communications, evacuation, shelter, mitigation, prevention, planning, and preparedness.

Considerations for Pets and Other Animals
As a result of national deficiencies in emergency planning uncovered in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the federal government passed the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act in 2006 as an amendment to the Stafford Act. Recognizing the unwillingness of many displaced individuals to take advantage of evacuation or shelter resources without accommodati ng for their pets or co mpanion animals, the PETS Act directs that state and local preparedness plans address the need s of individuals with pets and companion animals during a disaster or emergency.

The City works to include considerations for the needs of pets and companion animals in plans as appropriate.

Furthermore, although not required under the PETS Act, additional resources for the evacuation of larger animals and livestock, such as horses, may be available through coordination and request through the Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Management.

Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
11 CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
In accordance with state and federal laws, the City of Sunnyvale has officially adopted and integrated the following emergency management, response, and coordination systems:
• The Incident Command System (ICS)
• The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)12 • The National Incident Management System (NIMS)13
Together, these congruent operational systems outline how critical incidents, emergencies, and disasters will be coordinated in the field, at the local level, and up through the county, region, state, and federal levels.

FIELD LEVEL COORDINATION: ICS
As mandated by both SEMS and NIMS, the City utilizes the ICS to manage response activities in the field. ICS provides for common terminology, processes, and position titles, while allowing the delegation of functions (or tasks) to subordinate positions in order to promote proper span of control and unity of command. ICS is applicable to any size incident and is designed to be expandable as the needs of an incident expand or contract.

When utilized, the standardization of ICS principles and nomenclature can integrate large numbers of personnel from disparate organizations.

LOCAL, REGIONAL & STATE LEVEL COORDINATION: SEMS
As the cornerstone of California’s emergency response system, SEMS, integrates the concepts and principles of both NIMS and ICS. Jurisdictions within the State are required to adopt its use and the system unifies all elements of California’s emergency management community into a single integrated structure. SEMS ensures that local communities retain the authority and responsibility for man aging and coordinating responses within their jurisdictions, while promoting situational awareness and facilitating the prioritization of resource requests.

The five SEMS coordination levels expand outward from the impacted area at the field level, with each successive level representing a larger geographic area. The five organizational levels include:

Field Response
Field response includes on -scene activities and coordination, consistent with ICS , and includes the use of an Incident Command Post (ICP). D epending upon the incident, multiple ICPs may be established at various sites throughout an impacted area and an Area Command may also be established. Resource requests and situation reports are routed from the field to the next SEMS organizational level, either through participating response agencies, Department Operations Centers (DOC) or the local Emergency Operations Center (EOC), if activated.

12 State authority is to be found, in part, in California ESA (Chapter 7 of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code).

California state and local jurisdictions use SEMS as outlined in Chapter 1 of Division 2 of Title 19 of the California Code of Regulations and the California Government Code §8607 et sec. 13 Federal authority is to be found in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (Public Law 93 -288) and in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, “Management of Domestic Incidents” and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8, “National Preparedness.” The emergency management system used nationally is NIMS.

Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
12 Local Government
Local governments, such as the City of Sunnyvale, retain the responsibility and authority for managing response activities within their jurisdictions. To support these efforts, local jurisdictions may activate their respective EOCs. Local EOCs provide agency coordination, provide logistical support, establish common operating pictures, identify overarching priorities, and prioritize available resources. Additionally, local EOCs coordinate with the Operational Area (OA)/Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Management (OEM).

Operational Area
The OA provides coordination within the county and between all political subdivisions. The OA coordinates resource needs within the county’s geographic area through the County EOC, if activated. The OA also serves as a link to the regional level and all other OAs within the region. The City of Sunnyvale is part of the Santa Clara County OA and coordinates closely with the Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Management (OEM). The City participates in OA planning and, during a critical incident, coordinates with the OA through OEM.

Regional
The State of California is divided into three regions that each maintain Regional Emergency Operations Centers (REOC) to coordinate resource requests, support mutual aid, and promote situational awareness between their respective OAs. The City of Sunnyvale and the Santa Clara County OA are within the Coastal Administration Region.

State
When required, California’s State Operations Center (SOC) is activated to facilitate state agency response, mobilize mutual aid, and coordinate with other regions, states, and the federal government. The SOC also serves as the liaison with the National Operations Center (NOC).

FEDERAL COORDINATION: NIMS
NIMS provides a comprehensive national framework for incident management applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across all functional disciplines. Most NIMS requirements applicable to the City of Sunnyvale, including the adoption of ICS, are satisfied by the adoption of SEMS. Additional elements of NIMS outline coordination between federal agencies and the use of federal assets and resources.

The California Mutual Aid System operates within the framework of the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement (MMAA) and under the authority of the California Emergency Services Act. The system allows for the mobilization of resources to and from emergency response agencies, local governments, operational areas, regions, and the state with the intent to provide requesting agencies with adequate resources. The general flow of mutual aid resource requests systems within mutual aid are depicted in Figure 3:

Overarching Mutual Aid Process and Figure 4: Discipline Specific Mutual Aid System.

The California Mutual Aid System includes several discipline-specific mutual aid systems, such as fire and rescue, law, medical, building and safety, coroners, emergency managers mutual aid (EMMA), and public works.

In addition to the California Mutual Aid System, the state participates in interstate mutual aid through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).

Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
13 Mutual Aid Regions
California is divided into six mutual aid regions to facilitate the coordination and flow of mutual aid requests. As part of the Coastal Administration Region, the Santa Clara County OA and the City are part of Mutual Aid Region II.

Mutual Aid Coordinators
Discipline-specific mutual aid systems work through designated mutual aid coordinators at the operational area, region, and state levels. The mutual aid coordinator receives mutual aid requests and coordinates the provision of resour ces from within the coordinator's geographic area of responsibility. All unfilled requests will be forwarded to the next higher level of government.

Mutual aid requests that do not fall into one of the discipline -specific mutual aid systems are handled thr ough the emergency services mutual aid system and by emergency management staff at the local government, operational area, regional, and state levels. Depending upon the circumstances, mutual aid coordinators may operate from their existing department, an EOC, or other locations as required.

17 ALERT AND WARNING

EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM (EAS)
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a public warning system that may also be used by federal, state, and local authorities to provide emergency information and notification to the public. This system allows use of existing media (radio, TV) resources to communicate to residence in the event of a widespread emergency situation.

NATIONAL WARNING SYSTEM (NAWAS)
The National Warning System (NAWAS) is a dedicated wire -line system that provides two -way voice communications between the federal warning center, state warning points, and local warning points. If the situation ever presents itself, NAWAS is a nation wide system developed to send warnings of impending attack throughout the nation. National Weather Service (NWS)

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS)
The National Weather Service (NWS) transmits continuous weather information on 162.40, 162.475 and 162.55 Hz frequencies. Severe weather broadcasts are preceded with a 1,050 Hz tone that activates weather monitoring receivers equipped with decoders.

RAVE MOBILE SAFETY
To streamline internal emergency communications, the City is using Rave Mobile Safety as a mass notification system to communicate work related emergency conditions to all City staff. The Rave Mobile Safety platform is a subscription-based communication tool and will ONLY be used for work -related emergency communication (e.g., building closure, power outages, criminal activity, severe weather-related issues). All staff must sign up for Rave Mobile S afety emergency alerts. When you sign u p, you can select which communication device(s) and format you want to receive alerts. Text messages can be sent to your cell phone, voicemail messages delivered to your home phone, or an email to your personal email account. In the event of an emergency, alerts will be sent directly to the communication device(s) you selected during sign up. For example, if there is a major earthquake or flood that damages a worksite, staff will receive a text message directing them where to report.

Messages from the Rav e Mobile Security platform can be tailored to staff based on work location and department or role within the organization, to ensure you are receiving relevant notifications. Additionally, this will ensure that staff receive timely information, especially if emergencies occur after hours. This program streamlines emergency communication to all City staff and eliminates the need for citywide emails or a “phone tree” of supervisors reaching out to every employee.

ALERTSCC
AlertSCC is the City's public alert and notification system made available for use via a contract with the County's OEM. AlertSCC uses the 9-1-1 database to deliver messages to the public via landline-based telephones. Additionally, the public can register through a web portal to directly receive AlertSCC alerts and notifications on cell phones and via email and SMS. Sunnyvale OES representatives have been trained and authorized to create and send public alerts and notifications. Staff from County Communications are available 24/7 to assist the City in creating and sending public messages, as needed.

Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
18 INTEGRATED PUBLIC ALERT AND WARNING SYSTEM (IPAWS)
The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) is an internet-based capability Federal, State, and local authorities can use to issue critical public alerts and notifications. Sunnyvale OES representatives have been credentialed on behalf of County OEM to access IPAWS through the City’s AlertSCC and WebEOC software systems. IPAWS delivers alerts simultaneously through multiple communications devices reaching as many people as possible to save lives and protect property. These communication pathways include EAS (described above) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). The WEA system can deliver alerts and notifications to cell phones within a geographic area without the cell phone being registered with the local alerting system. County OEM staff are available to assist the City in creating and sending public messages, as needed.

COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION & CRISIS COMMUNICATION
The City recognizes the importance of clearly communicating emergency information to residents and the public through a number of overlapping formats. In addition to the systems outlined above, this includes the integration of social media and various targ eted outreach platforms. The City evaluates emerging options and technological advances as they occur to improve the speed, efficiency, and comprehensive coverage of crisis communication to the public, especially as it pertains to people with disabilities and others with access or functional needs. Refer to the Crisis Communication Annex for additional information.

19 EMERGENCY PROCLAMATIONS

LOCAL PROCLAMATION
A local emergency may be proclaimed by the Director of Emergency Services or designee in accordance with the Sunnyvale municipal code14. The city council must ratify the proclamation within seven days and must review the need to continue the local emergency every 60 days until a local emergency is terminated. A copy of the resolution must be provided to Cal OES through the Santa Clara County OA.

The proclamation of a local emergency provides the City with the legal authority to:
• Request the Governor to proclaim a state of emergency when, in the opinion of the director, the locally available resources are inadequate to cope with the emergency. • Promulgate or suspend orders and regulations to provide for the protection of life and property. • Exercise full power to request 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 City officer or employee. • Requisition necessary personnel and materials from any City department or agency • Obtain vital supplies, equipment, and if required, commandeer the same for public use. • Conduct emergency operations with limited legal liability for performance, or failure of performance.

STATE OF EMERGENCY
After a proclamation of a local emerge ncy, the governing body of the C ity, having determined that local resources are not sufficient to mitigate the situation, may request by letter or resolution that the Governor proclaim a state of emergency in the area to fully commit state and mutual aid assistance and provide resources to assist local government. To support its request for a gubernatorial proclama tion, it is essential that the C ity forward an estimate of damage and financial loss to Cal OES through the Santa Clara County OA as quickly as possible. Estimates of loss are an important part of the criteria that Cal OES considers when deciding to proclaim a state of emergency and request a Presidential Declaration of Emergency or Disaster.

A copy of the request for a Governor’s proclamation, with the following supporting data, must be forwarded to the Santa Clara County OA Coordinator for transmission to the Cal OES Director:
• Copy of the local emergency proclamation
• Initial damage estimate summary that estimates the severity and extent of the damage Cal OES prepares a recommendation for the Governor, and if approved, prepares a proclamation. The Governor may also proclaim a State of Emergency without a local request if:
• The safety of persons and property in the state are threatened by conditions of extreme peril, or • Emergency conditions are beyond the response capacity and capabilities of the local authorities.

14 Sunnyvale Municipal Code Chapter 2.16: Emergency Organizations and Functions Attachment 1

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
20 STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY
In addition to a State of Emergency, the Governor can proclaim a State of W ar Emergency whenever the S tate or the nation is attacked by an enemy of the United State s, or upon receipt by the S tate of a warning from the federal government indicating that such an enemy attack is probable or imminent. The powers granted to the Governor under a State of War Emergency are the same as those granted under a State of Emergency.

PRESIDENTIAL DECLARATION
Following the proclamation of a State of E mergency, the Cal OES Director may recommend that the Governor request a Presidential Declaration of a major disaster under the authority of Public Law 93-288. The Governor’s request to the P resident is submitted through FEMA. Supplementary information, such as an Initial Damage Assessment, may be required to accompany the state and local proclamations.

PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
An outbreak of disease may require quick action to prevent its spread, and in this sense may present an emergency situation for public health officials. However, as explained in the Health Officer’s Guide to Communicable Disease Control15, it is unnecessary for any official to take political action in the form of a formal declaration of emergency in order for the local health officer to “take measures as may be necessary” to prevent the spread of the disease. The local health officer has the legal authority to do so when the local health officer has reason to believe that a case of disease has occurred in his/her jurisdiction. When emergencies arise that are of such magnitude that they exceed local resources or require the exercise of extraordinary powers, a proclamation or declaration of emergency may be needed to address the situation.

OTHER DECLARATIONS, POWERS, AND AUTHORITIES
Other local, state, and federal authorities may have broad powers to restrict movement or impose other restrictions, such as quarantines, during unusual events such as public health emergencies.

21 CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
Continuity of Government (COG) is an essential function of emergency management and is vital during an emergency/disaster situation. COG is defined as the preservation, maintenance, or reconstitution of the civil government's ability to carry out its constitutional responsibilities. All levels of government share a constitutional responsibility to preserve the life and property of their citizens. The California Government Code 16 and the Constitution of California provide the authority for state and local government to reconstitute itself in the event incumbents are unable to serve.

LINES OF SUCCESSION
When the role is essential to the C ity’s ability to complete its critical missions, a successor must be named to assume the duties and responsibilities of tha t role. Figure 5: Lines of Succession outlines the continuity of government lines of succession for essential government positions. Refer to the Continuity of Operations Plan for more information related to these sections.

Emergency Operations Plan Section I: Basic Plan
22 unavailable, members of the City Council could be appointed by the Chair of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, by the Chair of a nearby County Board of Supervisors, or by the mayor of a nearby city, in that order.

ESSENTIAL FACILITIES: SEAT OF GOVERNMENT
The Primary Seat of Government for the City of Sunnyvale is City Hall located at 456 W Olive Ave., Sunnyvale CA 94086.

If City Hall is no longer functional, an alternate seat of government will be established at the Community Center Complex (Senior Center) located at 550 E. Remington Dr. Sunnyvale, CA 94086.

PRESERVATION OF VITAL RECORDS
City leadership will require certain vital records during a disaster. Protection of, and access to, these records require planning. Such efforts are coordinated by the Sunnyvale City Clerk. Vital Records are the documents required to continue the mission of City departments and agencies during and after a disaster. The records will assist in provi ding services both to internal C ity departments and external customers, such as citizens, contractors, other government entities. Example documents may include:
• Public Records
• Computer system back-ups/servers
• Order of Succession Ordinances or Resolutions
• Plans, policies, and procedures for critical processes • Payroll information
• Contracts and leases
• Legal and financial records
• Insurance documents
• Disaster Records, which have very specific maintenance requirements Each City department is responsible for identifying vital records and assigning responsibility for preservation.

E-1
ATTACHMENT E: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) ACTIVITIES The City of Sunnyvale EOC provides a centralized location where emergency management coordination and decision making can be supported during a cri tical incident, major emergency or disaster. When activated, the EOC provides support for a number of critical tasks related to co mmunications, coordination, resource management, and executive leadership.

PRIMARY AND ALTERNATE EOC LOCATIONS
The primary EOC for the City of Sunnyvale is located on the second floor of the EOC Building – 700 All America Way, Room 216 of Suite B.

If the primary EOC site is threatened, inoperable, or inaccessible, the Sunnyvale Community Center located at 550 E. Remington Dr. will be used as an alternate EOC. All City departments and personnel should be prepared for the possibility of sudden relocation to this alternate EOC or similar facility.

Additionally, Fire Station 5, located at 1210 Bordeaux Drive, has ample parking and a large classroom that can be used as conference space or a makeshift EOC, if needed.

Mobile Emergency Operations Center
The City’s Mobile Emergency Operations Center (MEOC) is intended for tactical use as a n on -scene mobile command post. It has neither the space nor the equipment to serve as a fully functional EOC, but can be used to augment command and control functions whi le transitioning from the Primary EOC to an alternate location or as an alternate Department Operations Center (DOC).

Public Safety DOC
The Department of Public Safety has a DOC located in the Public Safety Building which is activated for incidents that are significant but may not require activation of the EOC. The DOC may be used to coordinate the resources and activities of the Department of Public Safety such as law enforcement, fire, and rescue operations.

Communication resources available in the DOC i nclude hardline and cellular telephones, internet/email, the Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, online collaboration web portals, and online video collaboration tools.

EOC ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION
The EOC facility and equipment are used regularly b y Sunnyvale Public Safety staff and may be utilized for coordinating and monitoring activities at any time without the need for formal activation. However, depending upon the need and circumstances, an official EOC activation may be appropriate to support several activities, including:
• Field response
• Pre-planned events
• Local Proclamations of Emergency

EOC Communication Resources
Communication resources available in the EOC include hard line and cellular telephones, internet/email, radios, and Web EOC.

Internal Communications & Coordination
Communication with fiel d elements may be coordinated through relevant DOCs or directly with an Incident Commander. If a DOC is not activated, the Incident Commander may communicate directly with their department specific representative located in the Operations Section of the EOC.

Additionally, the Sunnyvale EOC will communicate and coordinate with the Santa Clara County OA EOC and other cities within the Santa Clara County Operational Area (OA). Each city, including Sunnyvale, will provide relevant information pertaining to situational awareness and resource status to the OA EOC, and in turn the OA EOC will push aggregated county -wide information back to each city. Mutual aid requests outside of predetermined pathways (i.e., Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue, etc.) will be communicated to the OA EOC.

External Communications & Coordination
The City EOC will coordinate with external entities such as special districts, public utilities, volunteer organizations and/or private agencies as required. These entities will usually communicate directly with the City and may provide a representative to the City EOC. The level of involvement of special districts, public utilities, volunteer organizations, and private agencies will vary considerably depending upon the type of incident.

Requirements for Public Meetings (The Brown Act)
The Brown Act governs meeting access for local public bodies with the intent that legislative body actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly18. The Brown Act cannot be suspended by a local proclamation of emergency or by any other legislation, however, it does provide some flexibility with the noticing and agenda requirements in “emergency situations”, such as the following:
• In cases of “emergency,” the C ity Council may hold an emergency meeting without complying with the 24-hour notice requirement and/or posting requirement ordinarily necessary prior to the Council holding a special meeting. A telephone notice must be given to the media at least one hour before the emergency meeting is held.
• In cases of “dire emergency,” the one-hour notice of the meeting provided to the media can occur at the same time the presiding officer or designee is notifying the members of the City Council about the dire emergency meeting. In situations where the telephone service is not working, the notice requirements shall be deemed waived, and the City Council or designee of the City Council, shall notify the media of the emergency meeting, the purpose of the meeting, and any action taken at the meeting as soon after the meeting as possible.
• Where the City Council has conducted an emergency meeting or a dire emergency meeting pursuant to Government Code 54956.5(e), the City must post minutes of the meeting, a list of persons noti fied or attempted to be notified prior to the meeting, the actions taken by the Council and roll call vote, and any actions taken at the meeting shall be posted for a minimum of 10 days in a public place as soon after the meeting as possible.

Management Section
The Management Section coordinates overarching EOC operations and has overall responsibility for the coordination of emergency operations. The Management Section consists of the following staff:

Director of Emergency Services (DES) – has overall responsibility for the management and coordination of the emergency event. The DES works closely with the EOC Coordinator to assure that the EOC is staffed and operated at a level commensurate with the emergency and develops and issues rules, regulations, proclamations, and orders. The DE S also has overall responsibility for ensuring that the EMO Action Planning process is initiated among the Emergency Management Organization ( EMO) staff and delegates authority as appropriate throughout the management section.

Council Advisor – serves as a liaison and conduit of information between the DES and the City Council. The Council Advisor facilitates the Council’s ability to fulfill their leadership role and serve their constituents through collaborative activities such as working with the DES and Public Information Officer ( PIO) to prepare and disseminate emergency public information, adopt, or declare emergency proclamations, make policy decisions, and interface with important external stakeholders and outside government and elected officials.

EOC Coordinator – has overall responsibility and authority for the operation of the EOC. The EOC Coordinator will ensure that the EOC is adequately staffed and operate s at a level appropriate for the emergency and supports the policies, and objectives promulgated by the DES and the City Council.

Safety Officer – monitors and ensures that the work environment is free from hazards that could endanger persons working in the facility.

Public Information Officer (PIO) – is responsible for interfacing with the public and media or with other agencies with incident-related information requirements. They serve as the conduit for information to and from internal and external stakeholders, including the media or other organizations seeking information directly from the incident or event.

Legal Officer – provides advice to the DES in all legal matters relating to the emergency. The Legal officer also assists the DES in declaring a local emergency and implementation of emergency powers.

Liaison Officer – is the point of contact for all agency representatives and oversees all liaison activities within the EOC. The Liaison Officer ensures external agency representatives are provided appropriate situation information and maintains records of all agency representatives.

Operations Section
The Operations Section answers and coordinates requests for tactical support made by the individual DOCs or Incident Commander ( IC). The need to expand the Operations Section is generally dictated by the number of tactical resources involved in the incident response and is influenced by span-of-control considerations.

Assets from C ity departments and jurisdictional entities/authorities, such as police, fire, public works, etc. performing field emergency response operations may request assistance from the op erations section through the field operations authorized agent (i.e., Logistics Section or IC).

Planning and Intelligence Section
The Planning Section conducts planning activities f or the EOC and oversees all incident -related data gathering and analysis regarding incident operations and assigned resources. Under the direction of the Planning Section Chief, the Planning Section collects, evaluates, and processes situation and resource status information for use in developing EOC action plans. Dissemination of information can be accomplished through an EOC action plan, a situation report (SITREP), formal briefings, or through map and status board displays.

The Planning Section also contains the Documentation Unit, which is responsible for the main tenance of accurate, up -to-date incident files. Examples of incident documentation include: Incident Action Plan (IAP), incident reports, communication logs, injury claims, situation status reports, etc. Thorough documentation is critical to post-incident analysis and potential financial reimbursement during the recovery phase . Some of the documents may originate in other sections. This unit shall ensure each section is maintaining and providing appropriate documents. The Documentation Unit will provide dup lication and copying services for all other sections and will store incident files for legal, analytical, and historical purposes.

Logistics Section
The Logistics Section fulfills support requests both from the field and internally from other City Departments, DOCs, and support partners. The Logistics Section also supports the operational needs of the EOC and requests may include:
• Facilities
• Communications
• Supplies
• Equipment maintenance and fueling

City of Sunnyvale
Emergency Operations Plan Section II: Attachments
E-7
• Food services (for EOC staff and on-scene staff, if requested) • Medical services (for EOC staff and on-scene staff, if requested) • Other services as appropriate
The need for logistics considerations and planning exists at multiple levels. The City EOC must account for emergency power, food, water, communications , and other needs of the EOC. The DOCs and/or on -scene incident command posts must account for staffing to ensure the rotation of personnel through safe rest/work cycles; shelter, feeding, and restroom facilities for personnel; acquisition of proper equip ment for performing operations during the day and at night; etc. The coordination of resource requests must be funneled through a singular process to eliminate duplicative asset requests and account for payment of the resources requested.

Finance and Administration Section
The Finance/Administration Section manages the financial elements of a response or activation including daily recording of personnel time, all financial matters pertaining to vendor contracts, and cost analyses and estimates as requested. Not all incidents will require the activation of a Finance/Administration Section during response operations; however, appropriate documentation and payment to resource vendors will still be required. It is imperative that local ICs, the DOCs, and City EOC personnel are familiar with the resource request process and follow the proper procedures for requesting a resource.
