STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution authorizing the City of San Bernardino to submit the updated City's Emergency
Operations Plan to the State of California Office of Emergency Services and the San
Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services.
BACKGROUND
On August 18, 1997, the Mayor and Common Council approved resolution #97-247 authorizing
the Executive Director, Director, and Assistant Director of Emergency Services plus the Disaster
Preparedness Coordinator to execute applications and documents for the purpose of obtaining
financial assistance under the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950. The first of the two attached
Resolutions updates that signature authority.
On January 14, 2003, the Grant Committee recommended that the Fire Department submit an
agenda item requesting authorization to accept a grant from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). This grant was to assist local governments in updating Emergency Operations
Plans for all hazards with special emphasis on Weapons of Mass Destruction terrorism
preparedness.
Although the City's Grant Committee recommended approval on January 14, 2003, the County's
appropriation authority for cities was contingent on State approval of the consolidated grant
application. The County did not receive State approval until April 16, 2003 and notified cities in
June 2003.
On August 18, 2003, the Mayor and Common Council approved resolution #2003-242
authorizing the acceptance of the FEMA grant funds to update the City's Emergency Operations
Plan (EOP). The EOP for the City of San Bernardino addresses the planned response to
extraordinary emergency situations associated with natural or human caused disasters,
technological incidents, and nuclear defense operations. The EOP does not apply to normal
day-to-day emergencies and the well-established and routine procedures used in coping with
such emergencies. Instead, the operational concepts reflected in the EOP focus on potential
large-scale disasters that can generate unique situations requiring unusual responses.
The EOP addresses concepts relating to the various emergency situations, identifies components
of the local Emergency Management Organization, and describes the responsibilities of the
organization for protecting life and property and assuring the overall well being of the
population. The EOP also identifies the sources of outside support, which might be provided
(through mutual aid and specific statutory authorities) by other jurisdictions, county, state and
federal agencies, and the private sector. The City's EOP was last revised and updated in January
1996.
FEMA's grant guidelines require that the City of San Bernardino produce to the State of
California Office of Emergency Services and the San Bernardino County Office of Emergency
Services an updated Emergency Operations Plan (attachment A) by February 13,2004.
In accordance with the FEMA grant guidelines for Emergency Operations Planning, the City's
EOP has been updated and is being submitted for your review and approval.
