PART ONE i April 2005 CITY OF SACRAMENTO, CA PART ONE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN BASIC PLAN
Letter of Promulgation
April 2005
To: Officials and Employees of the City of Sacramento
The preservation of life and property is an inherent responsibility of all levels of government. Since disasters in many devastating forms may strike at any time, the City of Sacramento must provide safeguards, which will save lives and minimize property damage through prior planning, preparedness measures and training. Sound emergency plans carried out by knowledgeable and well-trained personnel can and will minimize losses.
The City of Sacramento Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) establishes an Emergency Management Organization and assigns functions and tasks consistent with California’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). It provides for the integration and coordination of planning efforts of multiple jurisdictions. This plan was reviewed and approved by representatives from each City of Sacramento department, local special districts with emergency services responsibilities in the city, and the Sacramento Operational Area Office of Emergency Services. The content is based upon guidance approved and provided by the State of California and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The intent of the EOP is to provide direction on how to respond to an emergency from the initial onset, through an extended response, and into the cost recovery process.
Once adopted, this plan is an extension of the Sacramento Operational Area and California Emergency Plan. It will be reviewed and tested periodically and revised as necessary to meet changing conditions.
The City of Sacramento City Council gives its full support to this Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), and urges all public employees and individuals to prepare for times of emergency before they occur.
