SUBJECT: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE ALAME DA COUNTY
OPERATIONAL AREA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ORG ANIZATION
Dear Board Members:
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an agreement with cities, special districts, and nonprofit corporations to participate in the
Alameda County Operational Area Emergency Management Organization, establishing a unified
framework for disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation, effective upon
execution by all parties through December 31, 2035, with no monetary compensation required
except for reimbursement of direct costs under mutual aid agreements.
DISCUSSION/SUMMARY:
On May 10, 2016 (File No. 29782, Item No. 44), your Board approved an agreement that allows
the County of Alameda and other local public entities to work together by sharing resources and
information to protect the public.
The protection of life, property, and the environment is a shared responsibility of local, state, and
federal governments. To support this responsibility, Alameda County, in collaboration with the
cities of Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark,
Oakland, Piedmont, Pleasanton, San Leandro, and Union City, along with special districts and
nonprofit corporations, has elected to enter into an agreement to promote .a unified and
coordinated approach among state and local agencies, facilitate mutual aid, and ensure the
efficient and effective use of regional and local resources during a catastrophic event. The
Alameda County Operational Area is an intermediate level of the state emergency services
organization, consisting of a county and all political subdivisions within the County area.
The agreement integrates and coordinates the County's available facilities and personnel into an
efficient and effective organizational structure by defining roles, policies, and general procedures
in accordance with the Standardized Emergency Management System. This approach ensures
the most effective and cost-efficient allocation of resources. This provides a framework for
collaboration and covers essential areas including communications, equipment, medical services,
financial matters, and environmental and economic resources.
This agreement has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
