Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2019 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.
Body
SUMMARY:
The Board is being asked to adopt by resolution 2018 updates to the Santa Clara Valley Water District Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). This plan replaces the 2012 edition of the EOP and has been reviewed by local emergency services agencies as well as District staff.
The EOP presents the planning assumptions, policies and concept of operations that guide the responsibilities for emergency preparedness, prevention, response, recovery and mitigation against natural disasters and manmade emergency incidents for the Santa Clara Valley Water District.
The EOP supports and is supported by the 2017 State of California Emergency Plan. It will be reviewed and tested periodically and revised as necessary to meet changing conditions.
The Santa Clara Valley Water District EOP serves the following purposes:
• Guides the District emergency services program and is intended to comply with District Executive Limitation (EL) 6.3 which states “Prepare the organization to respond and recover from an emergency or disaster.”
• Communicates the operational concepts and framework to improve the managed response to emergencies and disasters that impact the District.
• Complies with requirements of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), Incident Command System (ICS), and the California State Emergency Plan (SEP) for managing response to multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional incidents; and to be consistent with other federal and state directives, emergency plans and guidance documents.
• Forms the basis for NIMS, SEMS and other emergency management training
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct financial impact from the approval of this plan.
