This Appendix is developed in cooperation and with input from the City departments that have primary response or support responsibilities, as well as input from appropriate non-City agencies with identified activities related to a dam/reservoir failure event. This Appendix is developed to describe the overall citywide response function and capabilities, and is to be used by each department identified within this Appendix to develop their own standardized operating procedures (SOPs) specifically for their department to direct tactical operations. When developing SOPs, each department is to take into consideration how all of the responsibilities identified in this document directly relate to their own department, as well as how those activities interact with, support, or require support from other departments identified within this plan. Departments must ensure that their SOPs are inclusive of planning for people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs. If, at any time, any department identifies a conflict in how their field response or support activities are performed in comparison to what is described in this Appendix or identifies a conflict between their listed activities and/or responsibilities within this Appendix and how they relate to or support another department’s listed activities, such conflict is to be immediately reported to the Emergency Management Department– Planning Division. If, at any time, a department, agency, or stakeholder to this document changes, develops, or amends any policy, procedure, or operation that will change or affect the contents of this document, that entity is to immediately notify the Emergency Management Department– Planning Division. This Appendix is to be corrected immediately upon notification or observation of any operational errors or conflicts. Such corrections are to be reflected within the Record of Changes. Every other year, a formal review of this Appendix will be conducted by departments and agencies that are identified within the Appendix, as well as any other departments or agencies that may need to be part of the review process.

Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.

  • Mandatory Moratorium on Non-Renewals After Recent Wildfire Activity
    RICARDO LARA CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER BULLETIN PURSUANT TO INSURANCE CODE SECTION 675.1(b) AMENDED* TO: All Admitted and Non-Admitted1 Insurers Writing Residential Property Insurance in California FROM: Commissioner Ricardo Lara DATE: December 18, 2019 RE: Mandatory Moratorium on Non-Renewals After Recent Wildfire Activity *This bulletin supplements the bulletin of the same title issued on December 5, 2019 to provide additional information regarding ZIP Codes within or adjacent to the fire perimeters for the fires identified in the Governor’s various Emergency Declarations discussed herein. Recent insurer actions in California have created considerable disruption for California’s residents; particularly those who live in or near regions of the state potentially threatened by wildfires. The Commissioner continues to receive information from Californians who have struggled to obtain residential property insurance coverage in the voluntary market. In August of this year, the Department of Insurance published data, which shows an increasing trend of non-renewals for people at risk of wildfires.2 California’s property insurers are retreating from areas they identify as having higher wildfire risk. In many communities across the state, finding affordable comprehensive fire insurance has become difficult. So difficult that real estate transactions have stalled or been cancelled. If this trend is allowed to continue, it could further disrupt local real estate markets and cause property values to decline, reducing tax revenue available for vital services to residents such as fire protection, community fire mitigation, law enforcement, road repairs, and hospitals in these communities. Commissioner Lara has met with many of these affected communities and policyholders over the last year who are facing non-renewals and rising premiums.

  • Letter Re SB 50 (Senate Rules Cmtee)
    P ACIFIC P ALISADES C OMMUNITY C OUNCIL January 18, 2020 California State Senate Rules Committee: Hon. Toni G. Atkins, Chair & Senate President pro Tempore [email protected] Hon. Scott Wilk, Vice-Chair [email protected] Hon. Patricia C. Bates [email protected] Hon. Bill Monning [email protected] Hon. Richard D. Roth [email protected] Re: Senate Bill 50 (Wiener); (tentative) hearing date January 22, 2020; OPPOSE as worded; request for amendment to include unambiguous exemption for all parcels in the VHFHSZ. Dear Committee Chair Atkins, Vice-Chair Wilk and members Bates, Monning and Roth: Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) since 1973 has been the voice of the community and the most- based organization in Pacific Palisades – a community of about 25,000 located in the wildland-urban interface between the coast and the Santa Monica mountains within the City of Los Angeles (City). The community of Brentwood (also in the wildland-urban interface within the City) is adjacent and located to our east. PPCC is on record as strongly opposing SB 50. At the same time, we agree with the general goal of addressing the state’s affordable housing and climate challenges as well as the suggestion that lawmakers should “continue conversations” about how best to achieve this goal (as Senator Atkins recently expressed). However, the new amendments to SB 50 highlight one area of immediate and significant concern for Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, additional hillside areas of the City and other similarly-situated areas of the state (including many fire-prone communities within each of your own districts): Lack of VHFHSZ Exemption Pacific Palisades is located entirely within the Cal Fire Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ), as is most of Brentwood.

As was the case with the catastrophic Woolsey Fire in November 2018, the massive Palisades Fire in May 2021 and the multi-jurisdictional hillside/encampment task force initiative in June 2021, we understand that the WRSB parking lot was used by fire agencies for staging and command during the recent Tuna Canyon fire. Water-dropping helicopters could be heard by residents of Pacific Palisades, including some of the undersigned, throughout the incident. The entire region – including the communities of Malibu, Topanga Canyon and Pacific Palisades, the larger Las Virgenes area and extensive, sensitive state and federal parkland (within the MRCA and SMMNRA) in the Santa Monica Mountains – was under potential threat. The use of the WRSB lot was critical during all of these events and remains critical due to the continuous threat of devastating wildfires.

Background Since being granted party status in March 2019, RCRC has been involved with the CPUC proceedings to determine how IOUs conduct de-energization of their power lines during extreme weather conditions and elevated threats of wildfire. These de-energization, or PSPS, protocols will be incorporated within future utility Wildfire Mitigation Plans. On November 13th, RCRC was also granted party status for the Order Instituting Rulemaking Regarding Emergency Disaster Relief Program, which opened on March 22, 2018 to establish comprehensive post-disaster consumer protection measures for all electric, gas, telephone, water and sewer utilities customers in areas subject to a gubernatorially declared state of emergency.

  • Evacuation Guidelines Strive for Consistency
    Evacuation guidelines strive for consistency CITIES and counties are weighing standard evacuation terminology to use in an emergency. Above, the Thomas fire burns in the hills above La Conchita in 2017. (Wally Skalij Los Angeles Times) BY HANNAH FRY When the Cedar fire broke out near a populated area in Kern County in August 2016, fire officials issued a recommended evacuation order in an effort to get residents to quickly leave their homes. The fire, which would eventually grow to more than 29,000 acres, continued on its path of destruction through the Sequoia National Forest over several days, eventually forcing people in neighboring Tulare County to flee. When the call came for those residents to leave, officials termed the order a “mandatory evacuation.” The evacuations in both areas were immediately necessary, but the agencies used different language to communicate those requirements to residents, causing confusion among both the public and first responders, said Brian Marshall, a fire and rescue chief with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. Marshall was the fire chief in Kern County during the blaze. “You could just imagine how flustered people were starting out using Kern’s terminology and then, all of a sudden, the news is reporting mandatory evacuations,” Marshall said. “When you’re evacuating the public, that’s a high-stress time in their life. The last thing you want to do is confuse them with terminology.” Similar scenarios unfolded across California in 2017 and 2018 as the state was ravaged by deadly debris flows and wildfires — disasters that frequently straddled multiple jurisdictions and sent first responders from various regions scrambling across the Golden State to lend a hand.
