9.4.2 Community Preparedness and Awareness
The public's response to any emergency is based on an understanding of the nature of the emergency, the potential hazards, the likely response of emergency services and knowledge of what individuals and groups should do to increase their chances of survival and recovery.
Public awareness and education prior to an emergency or disaster will directly affect Yuba City emergency operations and recovery efforts. For this reason, the City of Yuba City will make emergency preparedness information from county, state and federal sources available to the member jurisdictions and our citizens upon request.
9.4.3 Preparedness Actions
In identifying general preparedness actions, city government works with community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, other local governments/special districts, private industry, preparedness groups, and other entities to provide information relating to individual and group preparedness.
Government is limited in its ability to provide endless services and support during times of disaster, so public preparedness is essential for ensuring individual and organizational safety and protection.

10.2 Exercise Program
It will be the intent and goal of the City of Yuba City to conduct an exercise, once every other year, to test and evaluate this Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and the city response to EOC or DOC activation. The city will seek coordinate with other agencies, organizations (nonprofit, for profit, and volunteer), neighboring jurisdictions and state and federal government resources to participate in joint exercises when deemed necessary and beneficial to the scope and nature of the exercise/training. These exercises can consist of a variety of tabletop exercises, drills, functional exercises and full-scale exercises. As appropriate, the city will use the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program procedures and tools to develop, conduct, and evaluate these exercises. Information about this program can be found at http://hseep.dhs.gov. The Emergency Services Coordinator(s) will work with other city/county departments and agencies to identify and implement corrective actions and mitigation measures, based on exercises conducted through Emergency Management.
10.3 Readiness Training
The Yuba City Fire Department Fire Chief will notify holders and participants, within this plan, of training opportunities associated with emergency management and operations. These training components will be targeted to ensure members are receiving proper training in components of ICS/NIMS/SEMS and individual roles associated with EOC positions, roles and responsibilities. of Yuba City to conduct an
