The plan does not apply to normal day-to-day emergencies and well- established and routine procedures used in coping with such emergencies. Instead, the operational concepts reflected in this plan focus on potential large-scale disasters which can generate unique situations requiring unusual responses. Such disasters pose major threats to life and property and can impact the well-being of large numbers of people. The plan is considered a preparedness document--intended to be read and understood before an emergency. It is designed to include the City as part of a statewide emergency management system. As such, it follows the format required by the Governor of California's Office of Emergency Services. This plan shall be activated under any of the following conditions: o On the order of the official designated by local ordinance, provided the existence or threatened existence of a LOCAL EMERGENCY has been proclaimed in accordance with the appropriate emergency ordinance. o When the Governor has proclaimed a STATE OF EMERGENCY in an area including this jurisdiction. o Automatically on the proclamation of a STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY as defined by the California Emergency Services Act. o By a Presidential declaration of a National Emergency. o Automatically on receipt of an attack warning or the observation of a nuclear detonation. The plan is organized into three parts -- Basic Plan, Annexes and Emergency Operations Center manual. The Basic Plan provides overall organizational and operational concepts for responding to various types of identified hazards that may impact San Bernardino. The organizational concepts acknowledge that the City has primary responsibility to plan for and respond to local emergencies. However, if the magnitude of the emergency is such that outside resources are required, then county, region, state and federal resources may be provided through the organizational entities described. Operational concepts call for the plan to be implemented in three periods entitled pre-emergency, emergency and post-emergency or recovery. The Basic Plan describes each of these periods and provides guidance for responding to specific disasters during each period. Types of disasters include earthquakes, hazardous materials incidents, floods, nuclear attacks, transportation incidents and wildfires. The Basic Plan also describes the statewide and local emergency manage- ment systems and provides sections for inserting legal authority documents and references, hazard mitigation concepts and responsibilities, and mutual aid plus continuity of government concepts and documents. Of special importance in this area are authority documents that describe San Bernardino Disaster Council and City ordinances that implement or amend Disaster Council responsibilities. In accordance with these documents the Mayor is the chairperson of the City's Disaster Council. The chairperson has the authority to appoint, subject to the approval of the Common Council, the Executive Director (City Administrator) and the Director of Emergency Services. The chairperson also has the authority to request the Common Council to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency if the Common Council is in session, or to issue such proclamation if the Common Council is not in session. The Common Council must, however, take action to ratify the proclamation within seven days thereafter or the proclamation shall have no further force or effect. In addition, the Mayor, as Disaster Council chairperson, controls and directs the emergency organization of the City. The Executive Director and Director of Emergency Services, in turn, under the general supervision of the Mayor, and with the assistance of the various chiefs of emergency service depart- ments, develop emergency plans, manage emergency programs and direct emergency response operations. Part Two of the plan includes twelve functional Annexes which describe the emergency response organization. Each annex is supported by Appendices that provide emergency action checklists for specific disasters. Annexes are also supported by Enclosures and Attachments that provide specific localized information for implementing the Annexes. The following is a brief descrip- tion of each of the Annexes: Managing Emergency Operations (Annex A) Provides for the overall management and coordination of emergency operations, whether it be the actual management of forces in the field, or coordination of the joint efforts of governmental and and private agencies in supporting such operations. Fire and Rescue Operations (Annex B) Limits the loss of life and property from fires and other threats and provides emergency medical care and rescue of persons. Law Enforcement and Traffic Control Operations (Annex C) Provides for the protection of life and property; enforces applicable laws, orders, and regulations; and provides traffic control on desig- nated highways, streets, and roads. Medical Operations (Annex D) Provides care and treatment for the ill and injured during a disaster. Public Health Operations (Annex E) Provides public health and environmental sanitation services. Coroner Operations (Annex F) Identifies and provides appropriate disposition of human remains. Care and Shelter Operations (Annex G) Provides for the basic human needs of people in established shelters. Movement Operations (Annex H) Provides for the evacuation of persons from threatened or affected areas. Rescue Operations (Annex I) Carries out coordinated search and rescue operations for the location, provision of immediate care, and safe removal of endangered, entrapped, injured and/or isolated persons. Construction and Engineering Operations (Annex J) Provides for the procurement, distribution and use of construction and engineering resources. Resources and Support Operations (Annex K) Provides for the procurement, distribution and use of essential resources and services (including equipment, supplies, water, food, fuel, electric power, and transportation). Radiological Protection (Annex R) Provides basic operational concepts, responsibilities, and techniques to support governmental efforts to save lives and minimize radiation exposure in the event of an emergency involving radioactive materials. The matrix on the following page identifies the local agencies and private organizations responsible for accomplishing the above functions.

It provides resource listings, staffing requirements, message forms and formats for status boards. The Enclosure on staffing patterns notes three groups which function during large scale emergencies. These are the policy group, the operations group and the resources group. The policy group is chaired by the Mayor and includes as a minimum the City Administrator, Chief of Police, Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Services. Members of the Common Council may be present during policy group sessions. In conclusion, the City of San Bernardino Emergency Plan fulfills a requirement under the California Emergency Services Act. In addition it is considered an extension of the California Emergency Plan. The policies, principles, concepts and procedures contained in the City's plan conform to state requirements and provide the basis for incorporating the people and resources of the City into an effective emergency organi- zation capable of responding to large-scale disasters.
