MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
FOREWORD
.
This Emergency Plan addresses the City of Dublin's planned response to extraordinary emergency situations
associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear defense operations. The plan does not
apply to normal day-to-day emergencies and the 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 should be considered as a preparedness document--intended to be read and understood before an
emergency. It is designed to include the City of Dublin as part of a statewide stamdardized emergency
management system.
The plan has been organized into three parts as follows:
Part One is the Basic Plan which provides overall organizational and operational concepts for responding
to various types of identified hazards that may impact the City of Dublin.
Part Two includes eleven functional Annexes which describe the emergency response organization. Each
Annex is supported by Appendices that provide Emergency Action Checklists for hazard-specific
responses.
Part Three contains operational data such as listings of resources, key personnel, essential facilities .
(lodging, feeding, fallout shelters, etc.), contacts, and other data needed for conducting emergency
operations.
Individuals and agencies assigned emergency responsibilities within this plan will prepare appropriate
supporting plans and related Standing Operating Procedures, periodically review and update alerting
procedures and resource listings, and maintain an acceptable level of preparedness to implement portions or
all of the plan.
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 the City of
Dublin.
o Automatically on the proclamation of a STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY as defmed 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.

Part One
BASIC PLAN
1.1 Purpose
The Basic Plan addresses the City of Dublin's planned response to extraordinary emergency
situations associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear defense operations.
It provides operational concepts relating to the various emergency situations, identifies components
of the City of Dublin's Emergency Management Organization, and describes the overall
responsibilities of the organization for protecting life and property and assuring the overall
well-being of the population. The plan also identifies the sources of outside support which might
be provided (through mutual aid and specific statutory authorities) by other jurisdictions, state and
federal agencies, and the private sector.
1.2 Authorities and References
.
Emergency operations will be conducted as outlined under 1.5, Concept of Operations, and in
accordance with the enabling legislation, plans, and agreements listed in Enclosure 1-1,
Authorities and References.
1.3 Preparedness Elements
In view of the City of Dublin's susceptibility and vulnerability to natural disasters, technological
incidents, and nuclear defense emergencies, continuing emphasis will be placed on: emergency
planning; training of full-time, auxiliary and reserve personnel; public awareness and education;
and assuring the adequacy and availability of sufficient resources to cope with such emergencies.
Emphasis will also be placed on mitigation measures to reduce losses from disasters, including the
development and enforcement of appropriate land use, design and construction regulations (see
Enclosure 1-2, Hazard Mitigation).
1.4 Situation
A hazard analysis has indicated that the City of Dublin may be at risk to numerous hazards
associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear defense situations. These
hazards are identified in Appendixes 1 thru 4, Hazard-Specific Situations, which also provides
general and specific information on their possible impact on the City of Dublin.
1.5 Concept of Operations
. 1.5.1 General
1
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Concepts presented for peacetime emergencies consider the full spectrum from a minor .
involvement to total involvement from a destructive impact, with the worst-case situation being one
associated with the occurrence of a major earthquake. The concepts for war emergencies progress
up to and include a nuclear detonation, particularly as they relate to attack, which can occur with or
without warning. There are a number of similarities in operational concepts for peacetime
emergencies and war emergencies. These are combined below as applicable.
Some emergencies will be preceded by a buildup period which, if recognized and utilized, can
provide advance warning to those areas and/or population groups which might be affected. Other
emergencies occur with little or no advance warning, thus requiring mobilization and commitment
of the City of Dublin's resources just prior to or after the onset of the emergency situation. All
agencies must be prepared to respond promptly and effectively to any foreseeable emergency to
include the provision and utilization of mutual aid (see Enclosure 1-3, Mutual Aid).
In consideration of all possible disaster situations, this plan will be implemented in three periods,
with related phases, as time and circumstances permit.
1.5.1.1 Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
.
Agencies and City resources having emergency responsibilities assigned in this plan will
prepare supporting plans, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and checklists detailing the
disposition of their resources in an emergency. Such plans and procedures will provide for
coordination and communication channels with counterpart agencies and organizations of
other jurisdictions. Resource listings will also be prepared and maintained current.
Increased Readiness Phase
This phase could begin upon the issuance of an accreditable long-term earthquake prediction,
the receipt of a flood advisory that could impact the City of Dublin, or a rapidly deteriorating
international situation that could lead to a possible attack upon the United States, or the
warning by a terrorist group of the proposed use of a nuclear weapon. Increased readiness
actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs and resource information,
increasing public information efforts, accelerating training programs, inspecting, dispensing
and/or relocating equipment, and taking other feasible measures. Available resources, to
include auxiliaries and reserves, will be mobilized.
1.5.1.2 Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
.

.
.
.
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Pre-Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during this phase would be precautionary and would be
centered around taking appropriate countermeasures to protect people. Response actions
could be based on developing situations associated with a:
o Slow-rise flood
o Hazardous materials incident
o War emergency
o Approaching wildland fire
o Short-term earthquake prediction.
o Nuclear terrorist threat
o Report of loss or damage of a nuclear weapon
Actions accomplished during this phase may be concentrated on the movement of people
from identified hazard areas to safer, lower risk areas, and on providing food, lodging, and
shelter for the people in the reception areas. The following would be applicable:
o Warning threatened elements of the population and initiating movement operations as
necessary .
o
Advising agencies to activate resources; advising the Alameda County Operational
Area when the Emergency Operating Center is activated; advising the Office of
Emergency Services (OES) Mutual Aid Region of emergencies; and preparing for the
receipt and application of mutual aid.
o If it is determined that state and possible federal aid will be needed, a LOCAL
EMERGENCY will be proclaimed as prescribed by local ordinance and a formal
request will be submitted through the Operational Area to the State OES requesting
that the Governor proclaim a STATE OF EMERGENCY.
o Should the possible or expected emergency not develop, all alerted agencies will be
promptly notified.
o As provided in the California Emergency Plan, state agencies will provide assistance
to threatened or stricken areas. State agency representatives will establish liaison with
their local counterparts to relay information and mutual aid requests. The OES
Regional Manager will coordinate intra-regional mutual aid and state assistance as
necessary .
o If a war appears imminent, the Governor may proclaim a STATE OF WAR
EMERGENCY.
Immediate Impact Phase
3
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrating on the well-being of people affected by
the occurrence of an event such as a major earthquake, the release of hazardous materials, a
large fire or explosion, a nuclear terrorist threat, or attack. The impact of the disaster agent
may be destructive or it may create an exposure hazard.
.
One of the following conditions will apply in the Immediate Impact Phase. The City of
Dublin is either:
o Damaged or exposed, and the situation can be controlled by in-place countermeasures.
o Damaged or exposed and evacuation of all or part of the area is required because
immediate and ensuing threats are uncontrollable;
o Close to the affected area and can be called upon to provide direct and immediate
support to emergency operations in the affected area; or
o Distant from the affected area and can be called upon to provide back-up support.
Each element of the Emergency Management Organization will operate according to the
provisions of the appropriate Annex in this plan and any pertinent SOPs. Priority will be
given to the following operations: .
o Disseminating warning, emergency public information, and other advice and action
instructions to the public.
o Surveying and evaluating the emergency situation.
o Mobilizing, allocating, and positioning personnel and equipment.
o Conducting evacuation and/or rescue operations as required.
o Providing for the care and treatment of casualties.
o Collecting, identifying, and disposing of dead persons.
o Providing for the mass care (food, lodging, etc.) needs of displaced persons.
o Enforcing police powers in controlling the locations and movement of people,
establishing access controls, erecting traffic barricades, etc.
o Implementing health and safety measures.
o
Protecting, controlling, and allocating vital resources.

MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
Advising industry, schools, and businesses of possible phased shutdowns.
o Restoring or activating essential facilities and systems.
When the City of Dublin's resources are committed to the maximum and additional material
and/or personnel are required to respond to the emergency, requests for mutual aid will be
initiated. Fire and law enforcement agencies will request or render mutual aid directly
through established channels. Requests for other types of mutual aid will be initiated through
the Operational Area.
Any action which involves financial outlay by the City of Dublin, or a request for military
assistance, must be authorized by the appropriate local official. If the situation dictates, State
OES will coordinate the establishment of one, or more, Disaster Support Areas (DSAs)
where resources and supplies can be received, stockpiled, allocated, and dispatched to
support operations in the affected area(s).
State OES may also activate and staff the State Operations Center (SOC) at the OES
Headquarters in Sacramento to coordinate and support operations in affected areas and
control the response efforts of state and federal agencies in supporting local governmental
operations. The SOC may be further supported by a State Coordination Center to be
activated by OES at the Mutual Aid Region Headquarters within the affected area or at a
DSA.
The State OES Director will assist the Governor with the direction and coordination of the
activities of the several departments and agencies of state government, and will coordinate
and support the emergency operations conducted by, and under the leadership of, local
governments.
If the situation so warrants, a LOCAL EMERGENCY will be proclaimed and the City of
Dublin's Emergency Operating Center (EOC) may be activated and staffed. The Alameda
County Operational Area will be advised accordingly, and they will advise the State
Regional OES.
If deemed appropriate, the State OES Director will recommend to the Governor that a
STATE OF EMERGENCY be proclaimed in affected areas and, as required, in areas from
which mutual aid might be needed. During this time, state agencies will, commensurate with
their capabilities, be expected to immediately respond to requests from affected areas for
assistance. These activities will be coordinated with the State OES Director.
If the Governor requests and receives a Presidential declaration of an EMERGENCY or a
MAJOR DISASTER under Public Law 93-288 (Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974), he will
appoint a State Coordinating Officer (SCO). A duly appointed Federal Coordinating Officer
(FCO) and the SCO will coordinate and control state and federal efforts in supporting local
operations.

CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Sustained Emergency Phase
As early lifesaving and property-protecting actions continue, attention can be given to other
priority activities. Emphasis should be on actions to help displaced persons and the securing
of dangerous areas. Activity during this phase includes: more definitive medical treatment;
operation of mass care facilities; registration of displaced persons; reuniting of family
members; and detailed damage assessment.
After the immediate needs (rescue, medical care, emergency shelter, food, and clothing) of
people have been met, governmental actions will be taken to fulfill their rehabilitation needs.
Through coordination between the FCO, the SCO, and local government representatives, an
adequate number of Disaster Assistance Centers (DACs) will be established and staffed by
representatives of federal, state, and local governmental agencies, private service
organizations, and representatives of the private sector. DACs will provide disaster victims a
"one-stop" service in meeting their emergency and/or rehabilitation needs.
1.5.1.3 Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
At the earliest feasible time, the State OES Director, operating through the designated SCO, will
bring together state agency representatives, and appropriate local, federal, and American Red Cross
officials to coordinate the implementing of state and federal assistance programs and establish
support priorities. Details, policies and procedures for rehabilitation and recovery activities are
provided in the State Disaster Assistance Procedural Manual (published and issued separately).
Each represented agency will take action to satisfy identified recovery needs. This action will
include broad dissemination, through all available media, of guidance to the affected public as to
where, when, and how they may receive assistance.
The Post-Emergency Period has major objectives which may be overlapping: 1) reinstatement of
family autonomy; 2) provision of essential public services; 3) permanent restoration of private and
public property; 4) reinstatement of public services; and 5) research to uncover residual hazards,
advance knowledge of disaster phenomena, and the improvement of future emergency operations.
1.5.2 Peacetime Emergencies
The City of Dublin's partial or total response to natural disasters or technological incidents will be
dictated by the type and magnitude of the emergency. Generally, response to a major peacetime
emergency situation will progress from local, to operational area, to regional, to state, to federal
involvement.
For planning purposes, State OES has established 3 levels of emergency response to peacetime
emergencies which are based on the severity of the situation and the availability of local resources.
Level I
7
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
A minor to moderate incident wherein local resources are adequate and available. A LOCAL .
EMERGENCY mayor may not be proclaimed.
Level II
A moderate to severe emergency wherein local resources are not adequate and mutual aid
may be required on a regional or even statewide basis. A LOCAL EMERGENCY will be
proclaimed and a STATE OF EMERGENCY might be proclaimed.
Level III
A major disaster wherein resources in or near the impacted area are overwhelmed and
extensive state and/or federal resources are required. A LOCAL EMERGENCY and a
STATE OF EMERGENCY will be proclaimed and a Presidential declaration of an
EMERGENCY or MAJOR DISASTER will be requested.
Specific operational concepts, to include the emergency response actions of the various elements of
the Emergency Management Organization, are reflected in Annexes to this plan.
1.5.3 War Emergencies
Because of the serious consequences of a nuclear terrorist detonation, or attack, whether nuclear or .
conventional, plans and procedures for war emergencies include provisions for:
o Identifying the best available shelter from direct weapons effects for those persons in
hazard areas.
o Improving the shelter capability in all areas by emergency upgrading of already
existing buildings and/or by emergency construction of expedient shelters.
o Notifying/advising people as to shelter location/necessary resources.
Population protection measures are desired in war or nuclear terrorist emergencies because of the
shortage of direct effects shelters. In such instances, people will need the best in-place protection
available.
Operations during nuclear weapons emergencies will be governed by essential actions relating to
increased readiness, and nuclear detonation (with or without warning). Specific operational
concepts are reflected in the Annexes to this plan.
1.6 Statewide Emergency Management System
In a peacetime emergency, as contrasted with a war emergency, governmental response is an .
extraordinary extension of responsibility and activity, coupled with normal day-to-day activity.
8
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
. Thus, to ensure continued overall effectiveness, normal governmental structures will be maintained
with emergency operations being limited to those agencies assigned specific emergency functions.
More importantly, a system, or systems, must come into being for the purpose of exercising overall
operational control (management) or coordination of emergency operations.
The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) is the system required by Government
Code, Sec. 8607(a), for managing response to multi-agency and multi-jurisdiction emergencies in
California. By standardizing key elements of the emergency management system, SEMS is
intended to :
. facilitate the flow of information within and between levels of the system,
. facilitate coordination among all responding agencies.
Use of SEMS will improve the mobilization, deployment, utilization, tracking, and demobilization
of needed mutual aid resources.
Fully activated, the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) consists of five
organizational levels which are activated as necessary:
.
. field response level
. local government
. operational area
. regional
. state
The City of Dublin would be responsible for directing and/or coordinating emergency operations at
the field response and local level, with the other levels being responsible for coordinating and/or
providing support. Specific details relative to the organization and responsibilities of the
Emergency Management staffs at each of the levels are provided in Annex A, Managing
Emergency Operations.
The utilization of all, or part, of each of the levels will be dictated by the situation. For example, if
an incident requires only fire or law enforcement mutual aid support, requests for support will be
submitted through established channels. (City of Dublin to the Operational Area Coordinator for
that service and, if required, to the Mutual Aid Regional Coordinator).
SEMS incorporates the use of the Incident Command System (ICS), the Master Mutual Aid
Agreement, existing mutual aid systems, the operational area concept, and multi-agency or inter-
agency coordination. Many of the ICS features are applicable to all SEMS levels.
.
SEMS has five essential functions adapted from ICS. The field response level uses the five primary
ICS functions: command, operations, planning/intelligence, logistics and finance/administration.
At the local government, operational area, regional and state levels, the term management is used
instead of command. The titles of the others functions remain the same at all levels.
9
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Many of the field response features of ICS can apply to all levels of response. These features .
applicable to all levels would include:
· management by objectives
. action planning
· organizational flexibility- modular organization
· organizational unity and hierarchy of command or management
. span of control
. personnel accountability
. common terminology
· resources management
. integrated communications
1.6.1 Local Emergency Management
1.6.1.1 Field Response Level Emergency Management System
Field Response Level Emergency Management Systems are designed to provide for the local
on-scene management of wildland fires, hazardous material incidents, transportation accidents, and
other natural or man-caused emergencies. Such systems provide a standardized organizational
structure and terminology and procedures. Such systems are very flexible and adaptable to any
kind of emergency management situation. .
One example of an Incident Emergency Management System is the Incident Command System
(ICS). The ICS organizational structure is based around five principal activities performed at any
incident. These are: command, operations, planning/intelligence, logistics, and
finance/administration. The ICS Organization allows for a modular and rapid expansion to meet
the needs imposed by the incident. The ICS can be used during any serious multi-disciplinary (e.g.,
fire, law, medical) emergency within a jurisdiction, and is particularly useful for any kind of
incident involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies.
Some incidents, particularly those involving hazardous materials, can escalate to area wide
emergencies requiring further activation of the emergency management system. In area wide
emergencies, one or more Incident Command Posts may be established to assist in managing
emergency operations. Field level response will provide for coordination between Incident
Command Posts and the City of Dublin's EOC.
ICS will be used at the field response as required by SEMS. The City of Dublin Incident
Emergency Management System is described in Enclosure A-I, Annex A.
1.6.1.2 Local Government Level Management
The local level of SEMS consists of the Emergency Management staff for the City of Dublin, .
which includes City departmental managers and private and volunteer organizations. The City
10
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
. Emergency Management Staff manages and coordinates the overall emergency response and
recovery activities within its jurisdictional boundaries, and the staff of Alameda County is
responsible for the unincorporated areas of the county.
The City of Dublin Emergency Management Organization and its policies and procedures will be
regulated by the Standardized Emergency Management system as stated in California Government
Code, Sec. 8607, and its implementing regulations, California Code of Regulations, Title 19,
Division 2, Office of Emergency Services Standardized Emergency Management System and
guidelines.
The City of Dublin will use SEMS when the EOC is activated or a local emergency is proclaimed
and may provide overall emergency management in three different modes:
(1) Decentralized coordination and direction (no EOC activation).
(2) Centralized coordination and decentralized direction (activation of EOC for
coordination purposes only).
(3) Centralized coordination and direction (all activities directed from the EOC).
.
Specific details about those modes are included in Annex A, Managing Emergency Operations.
1.6.2 Operational Area Emergency Management
Section 8605 of the Emergency Services Act designates each county as an Operational Area.
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) regulations establish the Operational Area
as one of the five SEMS levels for use in all emergencies and disasters involving multiple agencies
or multiple jurisdictions. The Operational Area will be used to coordinate emergency activities
within the geographic area of the county and to serve as a link in the system of communications
and coordination between the OES Regional EOC (REOC) and the EOC's of the political
subdivisions within the operational area. The Operational Area will be activated according to the
minimum requirements shown on the following page.
If an Operational Area is activated following a disaster, a county official, designated by County
Ordinance, will function as the Operational Area Coordinator and will have the overall
responsibility for coordinating and supporting emergency operations within the county. The
Operational Area Coordinator and supporting staff will constitute the Operational Area Emergency
Management Staff. The staff of the latter, along with representational members also functions as
Operational Area Emergency Management Staff.
1.6.3 Mutual Aid Region Emergency Management
.
The State of California is currently divided into six OES Mutual Aid Regions, as shown on the
previous page. Regional Managers and their staffs (designated state agency representatives) will

1.8 Emergency Resources Management
Emergency resources management is the effective management of those available resources
deemed most essential to survival and recovery operations, particularly following a major disaster
or an attack upon the United States.
The California Emergency Resources Management Plan (published and issued separately) presents
statewide policies and guidance to local governments on the conservation, distribution and use of
resources immediately available to them, and on arranging for resupply of goods and services to
meet local emergency needs. Urgent needs that cannot be met locally are to be reported to state
government. State officials will then arrange with industry and responsible public agencies for
delivery of goods or provision of services to meet these local shortages. These arrangements may
be done directly or through federal agencies which may be functioning within the state. Once
immediate supply processes are underway, the state will act to ensure that necessary resources are
available and efficiently used for the duration of the emergency situation.
Policies and procedures relative to emergency resources management organizational and
operational concepts are provided in the California Emergency Resources Management Plan
and in Annex K, Resources and Support Operations.
. 1.9 Continuity of Government
A major disaster or war could result in great loss of life and property, the death or injury of key
government officials, and/or the partial or complete destruction of established seats of government,
and public and private records essential to continued operations of government and industry. To
help preserve law and order and to continue/restore local services, it is essential that units of local
government continue to function during or following such situations.
Government at all levels is responsible for providing continuity of effective leadership, authority
and adequate direction of emergency and recovery operations. The California Government Code
and the State Constitution provide legal authority for the continuity and preservation of state and
local government. Enclosure 1-4, Continuity of Government, provides complete details on the
Continuity of Government Program in California. An attachment to the enclosure provides a listing
of the successors to each member of the City of Dublin City Council.
1.10 Public Awareness and Education
.
The public's response to any emergency is based on an understanding of the nature of the
emergency, the potential hazards, the likely response of emergency services, and knowledge of
what individuals and groups should do to increase their chances of survival and recovery.
19
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Upon the proclamation of a STATE OF EMERGENCY by the Governor, State OES will assign a .
State Public Information Officer to assist local public information efforts and to provide
information that originates from the state. Similarly, in a Presidential declaration, FEMA assigns
an appropriate number of Information Officers to assist state efforts and to provide federal
information. However, even the most efficient emergency information effort requires time to
initiate, during which, confusion and lack of information can contribute to a worsening of the
emergency situation and an increased burden for all areas of emergency response.
Public awareness and education prior to any emergency are crucial to successful public information
efforts during and after the emergency. The decision to initiate and support this function must be
made at the highest policy-making level. The pre-disaster awareness and education programs must
be viewed as equal in importance to all other preparations for emergencies and receive an adequate
level of planning. These programs must be coordinated among local, state and federal officials to
ensure their contribution to emergency preparedness and response operations. (Annex A,
Managing Emergency Operations, provides emergency public information procedures.)
1.11 Training, Tests, and Exercises
The objective of any Emergency Management Organization is efficient and timely response during
emergencies. A good plan is a first step toward that objective. However, planning alone will not
guarantee preparedness. Training and exercising is essential at all levels of government to make
emergency operations personnel operationally ready. All emergency plans should include
provision for training.
.
The best method of training a jurisdiction's staff to manage emergency operations is through
exercising. Exercises allow local personnel to become thoroughly familiar with the procedures,
facilities and systems which will actually be used in emergency situations.
Exercises can be accomplished in several forms. Table Top Exercises provide a convenient and
low cost method of introducing local officials to scenario related problem situations for discussion
and problem solving. Such exercises are a good way to see if policies and procedures exist to
handle certain issues.
Operations exercises simulate an actual emergency. They typically involve complete Emergency
Management Staffs and are designed not only to exercise procedures, but also to test the readiness
of personnel, communications, and facilities. Such exercises can be conducted at the EOC level or
as field exercises.

expanded on by appropriate local emergency ordinances.
The California Emergency Plan, which is promulgated by the Governor, is published in accordance
with the Act and provides overall statewide authorities and responsibilities, and describes the
functions and operations of government at all levels during extraordinary emergencies, including
war. Section 8568 of the Act states that "the State Emergency Plan shall be in effect in each
political subdivision of the state, and the governing body of each political subdivision shall take
such action as may be necessary to carry out the provisions thereof'. Local Emergency Plans are,
therefore, considered to be extensions of the California Emergency Plan.

conditions as air pollution, fIre, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, or earthquake, or other conditions,
including conditions resulting from war or imminent threat of war, but other than conditions
resulting from a labor controversy.
The proclamation of a Local Emergency provides legal authority to:
o Ifnecessary, request that the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency.
o Promulgate orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and

HAZARD MITIGATION
1. Purpose
This enclosure establishes actions, policies and procedures for implementing Section 406
(Minimum Standards for Public and Private Structures) of the Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974
(Public Law 93-288) following a Presidentially declared Emergency or Major Disaster. It also
assigns hazard mitigation responsibilities to various elements of federal, state, and local
governments in California.
2. Authorities and References
Activities enumerated in this enclosure will be conducted in accordance with the enabling
legislation, plans, and agreements listed in Enclosure 1-1, Authorities and References, Part One.
3. General
.
Section 406 of Public Law 93-288 (see Attachment 1-2-A) requires, as a condition to receiving
federal disaster aid, that repairs and reconstruction be done in accordance with applicable codes,
specifications, and standards. It also requires that the state or local government recipient of federal
aid evaluate the natural hazards of the area in which the aid is to be used, and take action to mitigate
them, including safe land use and construction practices.
To be effective, hazard mitigation actions must be taken in advance of a disaster. Whenever
possible, both planning and action should take place in advance. After disaster strikes, mitigation
opportunities exist only for the next disaster, and even those opportunities are often needlessly
limited by the absence of advance planning. Nevertheless, the immediate post-disaster period does
present special opportunities for mitigation.
Section 406 deals with the opportunities presented in a current emergency or major disaster
response effort to mitigate potential hardship and loss resulting from future disasters. Thus,
involvement with natural hazard mitigation under Section 406 is triggered in post-disaster
situations. Hazard mitigation includes such activities as:
o Minimizing the impact of future disasters on communities.
o
Improvement of structures and facilities at risk.
.4
32
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
Identification of hazard-prone areas and development of standards for prohibited or
restricted use.
o Loss recovery and relief (including insurance).
o Hazard warning and population protection.
4. Implementation
4.a Federal/State Agreement
Following each Presidentially declared Emergency or Major Disaster, the Regional Director of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Governor execute a document called the
Federal/State Agreement. This Agreement includes appropriate provisions for hazard mitigation.
Under the "typical paragraph" (see Attachment 1-2-B) set out to serve this purpose, the State
agrees to:
o Evaluate or have the applicant evaluate the natural hazards in the disaster area, and
make appropriate recommendations to mitigate them.
o
Follow up with applicants to ensure that the appropriate hazard mitigation actions are
taken.
o Follow up with applicants to ensure that the appropriate hazard mitigation plan or
plans are developed and submitted to the FEMA Regional Director for concurrence.
o Review and update as necessary disaster mitigation portions of emergency plans.
4.b Joint Federal/State/Local Hazard Mitigation Team
The FEMA Regional Director and the Governor appoint a Federal and State Hazard Mitigation
Coordinator (HMC), respectively; the local applicant designates a local HMC. These individuals
will constitute the Hazard Mitigation Team which will:
o Identify significant hazards in the affected areas giving priority to disaster-related
hazards.
o Evaluate impacts of these hazards and measures which will mitigate their impacts.
o Recommend appropriate hazard mitigation measures.
The Hazard Mitigation Team uses information from Damage Survey Reports (DSR), and through
visits to selected sites where significant damage has occurred. The state and local representatives
33
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
on the Hazard Mitigation Team are responsible for ensuring that there is adequate consultation
among interested federal, state, and local parties.
.1
4.c Hazard Mitigation Plans
The Hazard Mitigation Team also prepares a Hazard Mitigation Plan which is submitted to the
FEMA Regional Director through the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) within 180
days after a Presidential declaration. The objectives of the Plan are to:
o Recommend hazard mitigation measures for local, state, and federal agencies.
o Establish short-term and long-term planning frameworks for implementation of hazard
mitigation efforts.
5. Concept of Operations
5.a Objectives
The identification of hazards following an Emergency or Major Disaster and accomplishment of
appropriate hazard mitigation measures are the short-term planning objectives to be required by the
FederaVState Agreement. The FEMA Regional Director and the GAR shall ensure compliance
with these objectives as a condition for federal loans or grants. .
5.b Surveys
Each applicant is expected to use its resources and capabilities as necessary to perform emergency
work, such as debris removal or emergency measures to save lives, or to protect public health and
safety, or to protect property, before requesting assistance from state or federal government.
Local, state, and federal preliminary damage assessments may identify major hazards and
opportunities for hazard mitigation activities prior to a declaration of Major Disaster or Emergency.
Damage Survey Reports (DSR) shall include identification of hazards and shall recommend
mitigation measures to be incorporated into the repair work.
The Federal/State Hazard Mitigation Team shall review applicable land use regulations,
construction standards, and other appropriate hazard mitigation measures. Utilizing information
from preliminary damage assessments, DSRs, and all other readily available pertinent information,
the team shall visit the sites of significant damage and shall evaluate all hazards at those sites. For
each identified significant hazard the team shall include appropriate recommendations of hazard
mitigation measures in its final report.

CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
For each hazard-prone area, the Federal/State Hazard Mitigation Team shall review and evaluate
existing local and/or state emergency plans for hazard mitigation. In cases where no plans for
hazard mitigation exist or are inadequate, the team shall report its findings and recommendations
concerning specific needs to develop or improve, as required, and maintain hazard mitigation plans.
Existing local and state hazard mitigation plans shall be updated and new ones developed as
deemed necessary by the FEMA Regional Director in consultation with the GAR. In determining
whether to impose such a requirement on a local jurisdiction, consideration shall be given to the
opportunities for effective hazard mitigation, size and composition of the local jurisdiction, local
government's authority to regulate land use and constructive practices, and the local government's
exercise of such authority.
The GAR and/or the FEMA Regional Director may provide technical advice and assistance to state
agencies or to local governments in developing new plans or updating existing plans to mitigate
hazards identified as the result of the Major Disaster or Emergency within affected areas.
5.d Mapping

MUTUAL AID
.
1. Introduction
The foundation of California's emergency planning and response is a statewide mutual aid system
which is designed to ensure that adequate resources, facilities, and other support is provided to
jurisdictions whenever their own resources prove to be inadequate to cope with a given situation(s).
The basis for the system is the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement
(see Attachment 1-3-A), as provided for in the California Emergency Services Act. This
Agreement was developed in 1950 and adopted by California's incorporated cities and by all 58
counties. It created a formal structure within which each jurisdiction retains control of its own
personnel and facilities, but can give and receive help whenever it is needed. State government, on
the other hand, is obligated to provide available resources to assist local jurisdictions in
emergencIes.
To facilitate the coordination and flow of mutual aid, the state has been divided into six Office of
Emergency Services (OES) Mutual Aid Regions (see map in Basic Plan). Through this mutual aid
system, State OES can receive a constant flow of information from every geographic and
organizational area of the state. This includes direct notification from a state agency or department
or from a local government official that a disaster exists or is imminent. In some cases, it also
includes information that makes it possible to anticipate an emergency and mitigate its effects by . .
accelerated preparations, or perhaps prevent a situation from developing to disaster proportions.
To further facilitate the mutual aid process, particularly during day-to-day emergencies involving
public safety agencies, Fire and Rescue and Law Enforcement Coordinators have been selected and
function at the Operational Area (countywide), Mutual Aid Region (two or more counties), and at
the state (OES) level. It is expected that during a catastrophic event, such as an earthquake,
Coordinators will be assigned at all levels for other essential services (e.g., Medical, Care and
Shelter, Rescue, etc.).
2. Responsibilities

- Allocated on a priority basis.
o
Due to the incompatibility of radio communications equipment between most
agencies, local agencies should, where possible, provide incoming mutual aid forces
with portable radios using local frequencies.
o Requests for and coordination of mutual aid support will normally be accomplished
through established channels (City of Dublin to Operational Area to Mutual Aid
Region, to State). Requests should include, as applicable:
- Number of personnel needed.
- Type and amount of equipment.
- Reporting time and location.
- Authority to whom they are to report.
- Access routes.
- Estimated duration of operations.

CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
1. Introduction
A major disaster or an enemy attack could result in great loss of life and property, including the
death or injury of key government officials, the partial or complete destruction of established seats
of government, and the destruction of public and private records essential to continued operations
of government and industry.
In the aftermath of an enemy attack, during the reconstruction period, law and order must be
preserved and, so far as possible, government services must be maintained. This can best be done
by civil government. To this end, it is particularly essential that the local units of government
continue to function.
Applicable portions of the California Government Code and the State Constitution (listed in
Paragraph 6) provide authority for the continuity and preservation of state and local government.
2. Responsibilities
Government at all levels is responsible for providing continuity of effective leadership and
authority, direction of emergency operations, and management of recovery.

overall incident strategy and specific tactical action and supporting information for the next
operation period. Incident action plans are an essential and required element in achieving
objectives under ICS. At the other levels, action planning server to provide designated personnel
with knowledge of the objectives to be achieved and the steps required for achievement.
Aerial Reconnaissance
An aerial assessment of the damaged area which includes gathering information on the level and
extent of damage and identifying potential hazardous areas for on-site inspections.
Casualty Collection Point (CCP)
.
A location within a jurisdiction which is used for the assembly, triage (sorting), medical
stabilization, and subsequent evacuation of casualties. It may also be used for the receipt of
incoming medical resources (doctors, nurses, supplies, etc.). Preferably the site should include or
be adjacent to an open area suitable for use as a helicopter pad.

Missile Submarine Support Bases.
*
Federal defInitions are adapted from federal disaster relief laws, rules, and regulations. State
definitions are adapted from the California Emergency Services Act. All other definitions
are based on terms developed through new operational concepts and mutually agreed to,
where applicable, between the State Office of Emergency Services, various local, state, and
federal agencies, and the private sector.
Other Hazardous Materials
64
.
.
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Decontamination/Contamination Control
Radioactive Materials
The reduction (normally by removal) of contaminating radioactive material from a structure,
area, person, or object. Decontamination may be accomplished by treating (e.g., washing
down or sweeping) the surface so as to remove the contamination. Contamination control is
accomplished by isolating the area or object and letting the material stand so that the
radioactivitiy is decreased as a result of natural decay. Contaminated material may be
covered to prevent redistribution and/or to provide shielding.
Decontamination consists of physically removing contaminants and/or changing their
chemical nature to innocuous substances. How extensive decontamination must be depends
on a number of factors, the most important being the type of contaminants involved. The
more harmful the contaminant, the more extensive and thorough decontamination must be.
Less harmful contaminants may require less decontamination. Combining decontamination,
the correct method of doffmg personnel protective equipment, and the use of site work zones
minimizes cross-contamination from protective clothing to wearer, equipment to personnel,
and one area to another. Only general guidance can be given on methods and techniques for
decontamination. The exact procedure to use must be determined after evaluating a number
of factors specific to the incident.
Direction and Control (Emergency Management)
The provision of overall operational control and/or coordination of emergency operations at each
level of the Statewide Emergency Organization, whether it be the actual direction of field forces or
the coordination of joint efforts of governmental and private agencies in supporting such
operations.
Disaster Assistance Center (DAC)
A facility jointly established by the Federal and State Coordinating Officers within or adjacent to a
disaster impacted area to provide disaster victims a "one-stop" service in meeting their emergency
and/or rehabilitation needs. It will usually be staffed by representatives of local, state, and federal
governmental agencies, private service organizations and certain representatives of the private
sector.
Disaster Field Office (DFO)
A central facility established by the Federal Coordinating Officer within or immediately adjacent to
disaster impacted areas to be utilized as a point of coordination and control for state and federal
governmental efforts to support disaster relief and recovery operations.

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)
A large amount of energy is released by the detonation of a high altitude nuclear weapon. A small
proportion of this energy appears in the form of a high intensity, short duration, electromagnetic
pulse (EMP), somewhat similar to that generated by lightning. EMP can cause damage or
malfunction in unprotected electrical or electronic systems. When nuclear weapons are detonated
at high altitudes, EMP damage can occur essentially instantaneously over very large areas. All
unprotected communications equipment is susceptible to damage or destruction by EMP, including
broadcast stations, radios, televisions, car radios, and battery-operated portable transistor radios.

MAJOR EARTHQUAKE
1. General Situation
In the event of a major earthquake in the Bay Area, it is probable that the City of Dublin will
sustain a great number of casualties, extensive property damage, fires, flooding, and other ensuing
hazards. The effects could be aggravated by aftershocks and by the secondary effects of fire,
landslides, and dam failure. The time of day and season of the year would also have a profound
effect on the number of dead and injured and the amount of damage sustained. Such an earthquake
would be catastrophic in its effect on the population and could exceed the response capability of the
state and the City of Dublin. Damage control and disaster relief support would be required from
other local governmental and private organizations, and from the state and federal governments. .
Extensive search and rescue operations may be required to assist trapped or injured persons.
Emergency medical care, food and temporary shelter would be required by injured or displaced
persons. Identification and burial of many dead persons would pose difficult problems; public
health would be a major concern. Mass evacuation may be essential to save lives, particularly in .
areas below dams. Many families would be separated, particularly if the earthquake should occUr
during working hours, and a personal inquiry or locator system would be essential to maintain
morale. Emergency operations could be seriously hampered by the loss of communications and
damage to transportation routes within, and to and from, the disaster area and by the disruption of
public utilities and services.
Extensive federal assistance could be required and could continue for an extended period. These
efforts would be required to remove debris and clear roadways, demolish unsafe structures, assist in
reestablishing public services and utilities, and provide continuing care and welfare for the affected
population, including temporary housing for displaced persons.
2. Special Situation
An earthquake on either the San Andreas or Hayward Fault Zone poses a major threat to the Bay
Area. The Hayward Fault, a seismically active major element of the San Andreas Fault System
presents a greater risk to Alameda County and the City of Dublin (see Attachment 1). The
Hayward Fault experienced one of the largest earthquakes in California, with a Richter magnitude
of seven in 1868. This indicates a reasonable expectation that earthquakes of comparable
magnitude will probably occur in the future.
In addition, the Calaveras Fault, which traverses the parallel of Highway 680, enters the City of .
Dublin from the south and exits the City on the North. The ground shaking of a 7.5 magnitude
80
I.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
earthquake on the Northern Calaveras Fault (see Attachment 2) would result in serious damage in
Dublin. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (see Attachment 3) generally describes damage
resulting from the shaking.
The possible damages caused by a large quake on the San Anadreas Fault are well documented.
Recently more information has been published about the possible results of a major temblor on the
Hayward Fault. The following is a synopsis of potential damage from a Richter Magnitude 7.0
quake on the Hayward Fault.
2.A Casualties
Studies on casualties predict the total number of deaths and hospitalized injuries for the entire San
Francisco Bay Area. Estimates for specific jurisdictions are unavailable, but casualties can be
expected in Dublin. Estimated Bay Area casualties are:
Time
2:30 AM
2:00 PM
4:30 PM
Hospitalized/Iniuries
3,000
8,000
7,000
13,000
30,000
27,000
Deaths
Injuries not requiring hospitalization are estimated to be 15 to 30 times the number of deaths.
2.B Long-Term Homeless
The City of Dublin could expect many homeless due to the large area within the City expected to
experience intense shaking (see Attachment 3). A specific figure for the City is unavailable, but
Alameda County could expect as many as 5,000 long-term homeless people, a portion of which
would come from Dublin.
2.C Damage to Vital Public Services, Systems, and Facilities
2.C.1 Schools and Hospitals
Although most schools in the City and county are earthquake resistant, substantial damage to
several schools can be anticipated due to their proximity to faults.
2.C.2 Transportation
Interstate 680
Route 680 would be closed for the major portion of the distance from Sunol to Walnut Creek
and would not be reopened within 72 hours. Parallel arteries of San Ramon Road and
Village Parkway would probably be impassable due to movements. Lateral arteries of
Amador Valley Boulevard and Dublin Boulevard would also be affected by I -680 closures.
81
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Interstate 580
.
Interstate 580 would be closed due to major landslides caused by earth movement along the
Calaveras Fault and the Hayward Fault to the west of the city. All traffic interrupted by
severe damage to this artery may be anticipated.
Dougherty Road
Probable limited movement within 24 hours with some traffic to the east via Camp Parks and
Tassajara Road.
Bay Area Rapid Transit (B.A.R.T.)
(To be added)
2.C.3 Communications
Telephone Systems
Telephone communications will be adversely affected due to overloading resulting from
post-earthquake calls within the area and from the outside, and many instruments will be off
their hooks. This situation will be further complicated by physical damage to equipment due .
to ground shaking, loss of service due to loss of electrical power, and subsequent failure of
some auxiliary power sources.
Key system facilities are located in areas projected to experience intense ground shaking. It
is likely that the telephone systems in and to the city will have systemic failures not readily
bypassed by alternative traffic routing. It is also probable that the recovery effort will be
delayed because many telephone company employees will have difficulty getting access to
damaged areas to accomplish repairs.
Radio Systems
Public Safety radio systems (fire and law enforcement) will probably remain free of non-
critical communications from mobile units. In fact, mobile radios and hand-held portable
two-way radios will probably provide the most reliable internal city communications. Radio
Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES), operated by volunteer amateur ham radio
personnel, would be a valuable resource for mobile inter city communications.
Commercial Broadcasters
All radio and TV facilities are expected to be out of operation in Alameda County for 24
hours due to in-house problems, and/or power supply problems, and/or transmission line
problems. Elsewhere in the Bay Area, 1/3 of the facilities are also expected to be out of
service for 24 hours. After 24 hours, 50% of the entire Bay Area facilities are expected to be
in~~ .

CIlY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
2.C.4 Water Supply and Waste Disposal
Several of the major aqueducts will sustain damage, causing temporary interruptions in water
supply. The numerous major reservoirs in the area provide ample storage to meet demands during
the time required for repairs. However, damage to water transmission lines, local storage
reservoirs, and pumping plants, as well as local distribution systems, will affect water availability
and pressure. The absence of electrical power for extended periods will, in some areas, preclude
water deliveries where pumping is necessary, even though conveyance facilities may be intact.
Many areas could be dependent on tanker trucks to provide their basic needs.
Sewage collection systems will sustain widespread damage, particularly in the low-lying areas.
2.C.5 Electric Power
Damage to power plants and their ancillary facilities in affected areas can be expected to reduce
generating capacity by 50 percent. The potential impact of this reduction in local output is
lessened, however, by the availability of power from other sources outside the affected area and by
the obvious significant reduction in consumer demand that will occur. Immediate concerns will
focus on repairs necessary to restore power to areas of greatest need. Major restoration problems
include repairs necessary to route power through the major substations, restoration of damaged and
collapsed transmission line towers, reactivation of equipment at local substations, and replacement
of fallen poles, burned transformers, etc.
It is reasonable to assume that, during some portion of the fIrst 72-hour period following the
earthquake, virtually all areas would experience some temporary loss of power. All critical
facilities will require standby generating equipment and emergency fuel supplies. It is assumed that
all substations will be heavily damaged.
2.C.6 Natural Gas
Damage to natural gas facilities will consist primarily of (a) some isolated breaks in the major
transmission lines and (b) innumerable breaks in mains and individual service connections within
the distribution systems, particularly in the areas of intense ground shaking and/or poor. These
many leaks in the distribution system will affect a major portion of the areas within the city,
resulting in a loss of service for extended periods. Sporadically distributed fires should be expected
at the sites of a small percentage of ruptures both in the transmission lines and the distribution
system. Transmission pipelines are most vulnerable to damage.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INCIDENT
1. General Situation
The release of a hazardous material to the environment could cause a multitude of problems that
can be discussed in a general manner. The significance of the problems to the environment,
property, or human health is dependent on the type, location, and quantity of the material released.
Although hazardous material incidents can happen almost anywhere, certain areas of the state are at
higher risk. Jurisdictions near roadways that are frequently used for transporting hazardous
materials and jurisdictions with industrial facilities that use, store, or dispose of such materials all
have increased potential for major mishaps, as do jurisdictions crossed by certain railways,
waterways, airways, and pipelines.
Releases of explosive and highly flammable materials have caused fatalities and injuries,
necessitated large scale evacuations, and destroyed millions of dollars worth of property. Toxic
chemicals in gaseous form have caused injuries and fatalities among emergency response teams and
passersby. When toxic materials have entered either surface or ground water supplies, serious
health effects have resulted. Releases of hazardous chemicals have been especially damaging when
they have occurred in highly populated areas or along heavily traveled transportation routes.
2. Special Situation
The City of Dublin lies in a valley between two ridge lines. There are two major highspeed routes,
Interstate 580 and 680, which traverse the city. There are no large industrial facilities located in the
valley but the interstates have a significant amount of truck traffic which transports hazardous
materials.
It is possible that, in an event affecting more than just the City of Dublin, extensive County
assistance may not be available for one to two hours. Therefore, the burden of responding
immediately rests upon the City's resources.
3. Emergency Response Actions
Emergency response actions associated with the above situations are presented in Appendices A-2

Floods are generally classed as either slow-rise or flash floods. Slow-rise floods may be preceded
by a warning time lasting from hours, to days, or possibly weeks. Evacuation and sandbagging for
a slow-rise flood may lessen flood-related damage. Conversely, flash floods are the most difficult
to prepare for, due to the extremely short warning time, if any is given at all. Flash flood warnings
usually require immediate evacuation within the hour.
Once flooding begins, personnel will be needed to assist in rescuing persons trapped by flood
water, securing utilities, cordoning off flooded areas and controlling traffic. These actions may
overtax local agencies, and additional personnel and resources may be required. It is anticipated
that existing mutual aid resources would be used as necessary to augment local resources.
.
2. Special Situation
Flooding has not been a major problem in Dublin. In 1983, heavy storms carried debris down from
the western hills blocking drains and causing flooding of backyards and several homes in the
Silvergate area. Drains were cleaned and the situation was alleviated.
Areas subject to flooding in the City of Dublin are generally along the Alamo Creek area (see
Attachment 1). Flooding along these areas may be either slow-rise or flash. The only warning
available for high water levels will be provided by residents along the waterways, passersby, and
normal police patrol units.
3. Emergency Readiness Stages
A slow-rise flood situation will provide some opportunity for warning those areas expected to be
affected. Response actions will depend upon the water levels in the City's waterways during heavy
rain periods and storm predictions. All incoming water level reports to City departments will be
handled by the City's Public works Department. When the water level comes within 4 fee or less of
the embankments, the City of Dublin will be responsible to insure Alameda County Flood Control
is provided with current information.

CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
If high levels continue to rise, patrols will need to be established and take necessary action to insure
that residents and businesses in the potentially affected area are informed on the situation. Actions
should include the following:
o Notify residents of potential danger.
o Institute periodic checks of water levels.
o Inventory emergency resources.
If it appears that the water will top the embankments, the following actions should be taken:
o Evacuate families of emergency personnel in the area; return to work.
o Notify County Flood Control and the Office of Emergency Services about the
situation, keeping them updated on developments. Request any assistance necessary.
o Maintain a written log of actions taken and situation development.
o Evacuate citizens as necessary; open shelters.
4. Emergency Response Actions
Emergency response actions associated with the above situations are presented in Appendices A-3
through K-3 to the Annexes in Part Two of this Plan.

Appendix 1-4
NUCLEAR EMERGENCY
in
CITY OF DUBLIN
1. General Situation
A nuclear detonation in any region has the potential of tremendous destruction. Widespread death
and destruction in the detonation area would occur as a result of the blast, heat and nuclear
radiation. The immediate and long-term impact on the environment could be more devastating.
The threat of nuclear detonation exists from both attack on this country and from use by terrorist
groups.
Much study has taken place, and continues, concerning the effects of a nuclear detonation on life
and property. Immediate and long-term effects must be analyzed and considered for planning
. purposes. Responses to nuclear emergencies must show awareness to the initial and lasting results.
2. Special Situation
The location of such a nuclear detonation in Alameda County cannot be predicted with any degree
of assurance. There are many potential nuclear targets in and around Alameda County.
The effects of a nuclear detonation on the Dublin area would vary according to the strength of the
bomb and the altitude at which the detonation took place. Damage to persons and buildings would
vary according to distance from ground zero.
No effort has been made to predict the number of casualties which would result from thermal or
nuclear radiation because of the variable protection which would exist within the area. It can be
assumed that there would be a considerable number of immediate casualties from both thermal and
nuclear radiation as well as long term casualties for radiation sickness among persons exposed to
the nuclear radiation.
3. Emergency Response Actions
Emergency response actions associated with the above situation are presented in Appendices A-2
thru K-2 to the Annexes in Part Two of this Plan.

MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Annex A
MANAGING EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
A.I Introduction
This annex establishes policies and procedures and assigns responsibilities to ensure the effective
management of emergency operations during peacetime and war emergency situations. It provides
information on the dissemination of emergency public information, emergency communications,
alerting and warning procedures, and damage assessment and reporting. The annex describes the
organizational and operational concepts for managing emergency operations.
To ensure that emergency operations are conducted in a timely, effective, and efficient manner, this
annex is supported by a series of hazard-specific responses to different types of emergencies.
A.2 Objectives
The overall objective in managing emergency operations is to ensure the effective management of
emergency forces involved in preparing for and responding to situations associated with natural
disasters, technological incidents, or war emergencies. Specifically, this will include:
o Overall management and coordination of emergency operations to include, as required,
on-scene incident management using the Incident Command System.
o Coordinating or maintaining liaison with appropriate federal, state, and other local
governmental agencies and applicable segments of the private sector in accordance
with Standardized Emergency Management System concepts.
o Requesting and allocating resources and other support.
o Establishing priorities, and resolving any conflicting demands for support.
o Coordinating interjurisdictional mutual aid.
o Activating and using communications systems.
o Preparing and disseminating emergency public information.
o Disseminating warnings.
o
Managing the movement and reception and care of persons in the event an evacuation
is ordered.
A-3
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
Collecting, evaluating, and disseminating damage information and other essential data.
.
A.3 Concept of Operations
A.3.l Peacetime Emergencies
Local emergency operations will be managed in one of three modes, depending on the magnitude
of the emergency. As an aside, included herein are nuclear terrorist threats and nuclear weapons
accidents.
Decentralized Coordination and Direction
This management mode is similar to day-to-day operations and would be used for those
emergency situations for Level I response in which the City of Dublin's normal management
procedures and City resources are adequate. The City's public safety and emergency
function coordinators provide necessary support, as established by appropriate agreements
and ordinances. The City's Emergency Operating Center (EOC) is not activated, and
interagency coordination (e.g., fire, law) is accomplished via established telephone and radio
communications systems and procedures at the incident and agency dispatch facilities.
As desired and established, incident management systems can be used for on-scene .
management activities. These systems usually report through established twenty-four hour
dispatch facilities.
Centralized Coordination - Decentralized Direction
This mode of operation is used for Level II response to emergencies which involve several
departments or agencies from within the City of Dublin, and/or agencies from more than one
jurisdiction which require close coordination. In these situations, key management level
personnel from the principal involved agencies will collocate in a central location to provide
jurisdictional or multijurisdictional coordination for the emergency. Their activities can
include, but are not necessarily limited to:
o Establishing an areawide situation assessment function.
o Establishing an areawide public information function.
o Determining resource requirements for the affected area and coordinating resource
requests.
o
Establishing and coordinating the logistical systems necessary to support
multi-incident management.
.
o Establishing priorities for resource allocation.
A-4
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Note that these functions are supplementary to those which may be performed by a single
agency or within a single jurisdiction.
In this mode, a Coordination Group should meet at the EOC or, if the EOC is not activated,
meet at a 24 hour dispatch facility located in or immediately adjacent to the affected area.
Incident Command Systems established by the City of Dublin would continue to report
through established twenty-four hour dispatch facilities. Information would be provided to
the EOC (or other Coordination Center) by agency dispatch facilities and/or by liaison
personnel.
Centralized Coordination and Direction
This mode of operation would be utilized following a Level III (major) disaster which would
render it impossible for the City to effectively function in either of the other modes. In this
situation, the EOC would be activated and the Operational Area would be notified. All
coordination and direction activities (excluding public safety dispatch) would be
accomplished from the EOC. Incident Emergency Management Systems (to the extent
practicable) would report to and receive direction from the EOC. The following page depicts
the statewide emergency management structure in response to a major disaster.
A.3.2 War Emergencies
Operations during war emergencies include essential actions relating to increased readiness and
attack with or without warning. The statewide Standardized Emergency Management System
(SEMS) will be fully activated and centralized coordination and direction of emergency operations
will be established. The Operational Area EOC and City EOCs will be activated and staffed by the
designated Emergency Management Staff members.
A.3.3 General
Emergency management will generally be conducted during three periods as described below.
Detailed emergency actions for responding to peacetime and nuclear defense emergencies are
provided in Appendix A, Hazard-Specific Responses.

INCIDENT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
An Incident Command System (ICS) can be used to provide a management structure and system
for conducting on-site multidisciplinary operations (for example, those incidents which involve
concurrent tactical field interactions between fire, law enforcement, and medical personnel).
The ICS, because of its standardized organizational structure and common organizational and
operational terminology, provides a useful and flexible management system that is particularly
adaptable to incidents involving multijurisdictional response. The ICS provides the flexibility to
rapidly activate and establish an organizational form around the functions that need to be
performed.
The ICS basic organizational structure will consist of five principal Sections, which normally
would be activated for a major incident. The Sections are:
Incident Command
Includes the Incident Commander, who has overall management responsibility for the
incident. A Command Staff element is provided for handling such matters as Public .
Information, Safety and interagency liaison. Multijurisdiction incidents will involve a
Unified Command element, which will bring together jurisdictional Incident Commanders
to develop a common and consistent action plan to make the best use of all available
resources.
Operations Section
This Section is headed by an Operations Section Chief, who is responsible for the
management of all incident tactical activities. On multidisciplinary incidents, the Operations
Section Chief may have deputies. The Operations Section can be subdivided into Branches,
e.g., Law Branch, Fire Branch, and Medical Branch, etc. Branches may be further divided
into divisions and smaller units. Staging areas for resources are also under the management
of this Section.
Planning Section
This Section is headed by the Planning Section Chief and is structured into several units,
depending upon the needs of the incident. Situation Assessment and Resources Status are
examples of the kinds of units which may be formed within this Section. The Planning
Section collects and analyzes all data regarding incident operations, develops alternatives for
tactical action plans, conducts planning meetings and prepares the incident action plan for .
incidents which will require extended operations.

MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Logistics Section
This Section is headed by the Logistics Section Chief, and is responsible for meeting the
logistical needs of the Operations Section. This can include procuring equipment and
supplies, providing food and medical support to incident assigned personnel, and meeting the
transportation requirements of the incident. The Logistics Section can be divided into
Branches and Units as the situation requires.
Finance Section
This Section will be activated at an incident when required for purposes of maintaining
records on personnel and equipment time, for providing payments to vendors for supplies
and equipment usage, an~ for determining the cost considerations or various alternative
strategies associated with incident planning.
The City of Dublin's field response will utilize the ICS as its emergency management system
during emergency response efforts..

STAFFING OF THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER
It is the responsibility of each Section Chief in the Emergency Operations Center to insure that
he/she has available the personnel and equipment required to perform that service function after the
Emergency Operations Center is activated. The City of Dublin's Emergency Management
Organization provides for the five essential SEMS functions: management, operations,
planning/intelligence, logistics and finance/administration (see chart on previous page).
PERSONNEL
It is expected that most of the personnel rquired to staff each section of the Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) will come from the Department primarily responsible for the
section, however, ongoing mission responsibilities and/or lack of personnel within a
department may make this impossible. Since all City employees become Disaster Service
Workers upon proclamation of a Local Emergency or declaration of a State of Emergency,
the following is a guide to other sources of available personnel to assit in the operation of the
EOC.

EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
1. General
Essential to all emergency organizations is an effective communications capability to support
emergency operations. The magnitude of a particular emergency situation will determine the
degree to which communications systems are utilized.
While a generally adequate communications capability exists between the various State Office of
Emergency Services (OES) facilities, the communications systems presently available between
OES and local facilities are inadequate. Several systems have access to agencies of local
jurisdictions, but few of them terminate in facilities, such as Emergency Operating Centers (EOC),
from which centralized emergency operations for large scale disasters could be directed by local
governments.
2. Situation
2.a Peacetime Emergencies
.
Telecommunications systems are composed of many subsystems, each interconnected and
interdependent. A radio network, for example, may use a combination of telephone lines,
microwave circuits, satellite interfaces, underground and overhead cables, and secondary radio
paths. The failure of anyone link in this electronic "chain" can effectively disable a large portion of
the system.
Communications systems may be overloaded or even rendered inoperable in an emergency.
Telephone communications may be overloaded by calls within or into affected areas. The situation
may be further complicated by physical damage to equipment, loss of electrical power and
subsequent failure of some auxiliary sources. Loss of emergency power has been the primary cause
of communications failure in past disasters. Poor installation practices and inadequate preventative
maintenance of backup power equipment contribute to a high failure rate. Scarcity of diesel and
gasoline, which are primary fuels for backup generators, may limit the viability of surviving
communications sites.
2.b War Emergencies
During the early phases of war emergencies (i.e., increased readiness), it can be assumed that the
existing communications systems used daily by most agencies, particularly public safety agencies, .
will be used for intrajurisdictional communications. Also, such agencies will be expected to
operate, at least initially, from their day-to-day offices and headquarters.
A-I8
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
. If the international situation worsens and attack becomes more likely, agencies would be expected
to operate and communicate from a protected EOC. Where interjurisdictional communications are
required, particularly between Operational Areas, it is expected that systems common to most
agencies will be utilized where applicable and available.
In the event of a nuclear attack, the destructive effects of blast, heat, and electromagnetic pulse
(EMP)* may cause numerous electronic components or systems to fail. All communications
personnel should be familiar with countermeasures which can be taken to protect and/or minimize
damage to communications equipment.
3. Facilities and Systems
Following is a listing of federal, state and local communications systems available for: direction
and/or coordination of emergency operations; alerting and warning governmental forces and the
general public during peacetime and nuclear defense emergencies; and providing advice and
instructions to the general public. .
3.a Emergency Alert System (EAS)
.
EBS is a network of public broadcast stations and interconnecting facilities which have been
authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate in a controlled manner
during a war, state of public peril or disaster, or other national emergency. The system is devised to
provide the President and federal government with a means of emergency communications with the
general public. It may be used on a voluntary basis during day-to-day situations posing a threat to
safety of life and property. Priority for use is:
o Presidential messages
o Local area programming
o State programming
o National programming and news.
*
A large amount of energy is released by the detonation of a high altitude nuclear weapon. A
small proportion of this energy appears in the form of a high intensity, short duration,
electromagnetic pulse (EMP). EMP can cause damage or malfunction in unprotected
electrical or electronic systems. EMP damage can occur instantaneously over very large
areas. All communications equipment is susceptible to damage or destruction by EMP,
including broadcast stations, radios, televisions, car radios, and battery-operated portable
transistor radios.

3.b State Radio Systems
.
California Law Enforcement Radio System
Serves all OES facilities and interconnects law enforcement agencies of all counties and
numerous cities. This system is microwave-intertied to provide statewide coverage. This
system is the State's radio backup to the National Warning System, discussed below.
California Emer2'ency Services Radio System
A Local Government (LG) System which serves all OES facilities, a number of state
agencies, and county-level civil defense agencies participating in the system. It is
microwave-interconnected for statewide coverage.
OES Fire Network
Serves all OES facilities and fire support equipment. Radio equipment on this network is
located with fue service agencies in 52 counties. The network employs mountain-top mobile
relays and interconnects to the State Microwave System to provide statewide coverage.
3.c Local Radio System
.
Details on local radio capabilities are provided in Attachment A-3-A, Local Radio Systems.
3.d Telephone
(1) Common carrier telephone service is available to support all emergency systems.
(2) The National Warning System (NA WAS) is a nationwide attack warning dedicated
landline system which provides two-way voice communica- tions between Federal,
State, and Local Warning Points. Details on the system are provided in Enclosure
A-4, Alerting and Warning.
3.e Teletype
The California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) has 900 terminals in
California and serves all cities and counties.
4. Communications Support
The following are sources of communications support to local emergency operations, with support
being dependent upon the type and magnitude of the emergency. .
A-20
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
4.a California Office of Emergency Services
OES has two mobile command complexes, each consisting of a communications van, an operations
van, a command van, and a generator to provide power. One complex is stored at Los Alamitos
and the other at the OES Headquarters in Sacramento. Their primary purpose is to provide initial
communications from the disaster area to OES Headquarters and act as a collection point for
damage assessment information until more sophisticated communications are established and/or
restored. These complexes are equipped for operation on each of the major state radio
communications systems, the satellite systems, various mutual aid radio systems and RACES.
Radio operators must be provided by the responsible agency.
4.b California National Guard (CNG)
The CNG has an assortment of communications capability, with limited day-to- day in-place
systems. Most communications serve their own operating forces. It has some reserve capability.
4.c Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES)
RACES operates on radio amateur frequencies by authority of the FCC in support of emergency
communications. RACES can augment existing systems, substitute for damaged or inoperable
systems, and establish communications links with otherwise inaccessible areas.
4.d Citizens Band Radio
Citizens Band Radio operators can participate in civil defense activities on a voluntary basis under
the direction of civil defense authorities.
5. Policies and Procedures
5.a Since there are few uncommitted communication resources, existing day-to-day systems
should be considered as all that will be available in an emergency. Emergency reserve equipment
is for increased operating requirements of the owner and cannot be readily diverted to other
agencies. Generally, even if made available, this would be impractical for technical reasons such as
frequency or antenna mismatch.
5.b During a STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY, privately owned radio systems, equipment, and
facilities, subject to approval by the licensee, will generally be used to support the emergency
activities of field forces not already linked to EOCs.
5.c Communications systems installed at or controlled from EOCs will normally be used to
support the field activities of the various emergency services which make up emergency
organizations. Other available communications systems will be used to provide links to nearby
jurisdictions or to higher levels of the Statewide Emergency Organization. Communications
systems in EOCs will include radio systems licensed to jurisdictions. Such radio systems are
A-2I
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
augmented in an emergency by radio systems licensed to other agencies of government, to private .
industry, and to individuals.
5.d Operators of communications equipment will be provided by those agencies regularly
using licensed systems. Communications Officers will provide operators for communications
equipment which augments regular capabilities, and will also provide personnel to service and
maintain communication equipment and facilities.
5.e The EAS will be used, to the maximum extent possible, for the dissemination of emergency
information, advice, and action instructions to the general public.
5.f RACES will be assigned to back up any of several services in case regular communications
paths become inoperative. Special consideration will be given to using RACES to support disaster
medical care and emergency public information operations.

LOCAL RADIO SYSTEMS
1. General
The City of Dublin Emergency Operations Radio System consists of those radios which are
necessary to gather information required to become and stay informed of the situation and to
control the activities of services within the City.
Those services which have the capability to control their operating elements by radio will continue
to exercise that control. The respective Service Chief will be kept informed, by radio, of ongoing
activities and the extent of commitment of available resources. This information will serve two
purposes at the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). It will provide the basis for
performing continuing situation analysis of conditions in the City and will serve as the basis for the
Service Chief to make decisions on use of limited resources. Service Chiefs will provide and train
the radio operators who staff the service radios in the EOC.
2. Specific Situation
. The following radio systems are (or will be) available within the EOC:
City EOC to Alameda County EOC: will operate for the initial period of the disaster on the
law enforcement channel (800 MHz) iftelephones are unavailable. This channel will be used
to provide status reports between the City EOC and the County EOC and to request
assistance.
Law Enforcement Network: operates on several channels. Channels are used for the
countywide dispatch and control of Law Enforcement service mobile units on an area basis.
City of Dublin Police Services wil continue to use its 800 MHZ frequencies. They will be
used by the Law Enforcement Service Chief to keep the EOC informed on developments
within his/her service. (NOTE: The main dispatch will remain with ALCO, the EOC will
have a radio set-up for transmission to the dispatch operator.)
Fire Service Network: will operate through ALCO dispatch between Dougherty Regional
Fire Authority and the County EOC. Dougherty Regional Fire Authority will continue to
use its 800mhz frequencies. They will be used by the Fire Service Chief to keep the EOC
informed on developments within his/her service. (NOTE: The main dispatch will remain
with ALCO, the EOC will have a radio set up for transmission to the dispatch operator.)
.
Radio Amateurs Civil Emergency Services (RACES): will provide a variety of
communication services in the bands covered by their radios. They will provide
communications from the cities to the county, to the state and regional offices as well as
A-23
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
communications to hospitals and other places as needed. This service will provide the .
communication flexibility not available with the established communications networks.
Operators will be requested to copy all messages to the EOC on standard message forms. In
addition, the operators will be required to monitor all traffic on their frequency and to extract
information which is needed to construct a picture of activities within the City even though the
message might not be sent specifically to the EOC. This information will be transcribed to message
forms and provided to the Situation Analysis Section.

ALERTING AND WARNING
I. General
Warning is the process of alerting governmental forces and warning the general public to the threat
of imminent extraordinary danger. Dependent upon the nature of the threat and the population
group at risk, warning can originate at any level of government.
Success in saving lives and property is dependent upon timely dissemination of warning and
emergency information to persons in threatened areas. The National Warning System (NA WAS) is
a nationwide attack warning system developed to accomplish this task in a war emergency. For
major peacetime emergencies, portions of the NA WAS system can be used, augmented by state and
local systems as appropriate.
2. Attack Warning System
2.a National Warning System (NA WAS)
NA WAS is a dedicated wire-line system which provides two-way voice communi- cations between
Federal Warning Centers, states' Warning Points, and local Warning Points. The system in
California consists of four elements:
(1) NA WAS, Federal-California link.
(2) NA WAS, State-County Warning Points circuits.
(3) County-City warning systems.
(4) Local community attack warning devices, such as sirens, horns, or whistles.
2.b NA WAS, Federal
The system may be activated nationally from two protected federal facilities:
(1) National Warning Center (North American Air Defense Command, Colorado Springs,
Colorado).
(2) Alternate National Warning Center (Olney, Maryland).
2.c NA WAS, State of California
California ties into the national system with a primary drop-out (State Warning Point) at the State
Office of Emergency Services (OES) Headquarters in Sacramento. Circuits then extend to 45
A-25
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
County Warning Points (see the figure on the following page for the California Portion, National .
Warning System). The California Highway Patrol Headquarters in Sacramento serves as the
Alternate State Warning Point.
Both federal and state circuits are monitored 24 hours a day at the OES Warning Center, the
Alternate State Warning Point, and each of the local Warning Points. The 13 counties not on this
system will receive warning via other means (normally over the California Law Enforcement
Telecommunications System (CLETS).
2.d County-City Warning Systems
In order to disseminate warning from the County Warning Points to the City of Dublin, local
communications channels are normally used. Although the State Warning Point will relay
warnings over the CLETS, it is usually more expeditious for cities to arrange with the county
Warning Points on NA WAS for further relay of the information within the county. This is
normally via local Public Safety communication channels or, in some instances, telephone. (See
Attachment A-5-A, Local Attack Warning System.)
2.e Warning Devices
The City of Dublin is responsible for warning the populace of the jurisdiction. This is normally .
accomplished through the use of warning devices, such as sirens, whistles, or horns, either
strategically located within the community or mounted on official vehicles. The warning devices
are normally activated from a point staffed 24 hours a day.
2.f Dissemination of Attack Warnings
The Federal Warning Centers disseminate warning information to State Warning Points over
NA WAS. State Warning Points disseminate the information they receive over NA WAS to the
local Warning Points. In addition, state agency radio systems, teletype, and telephone circuits are
used to ensure maximum dissemination. Each local Warning Point further disseminates the
warning over local Public Safety communications channels.
2.g Alerting and Warning Signals
(I) Attention or Alert Signal
The ATTENTION or ALERT signal is a 3 to 5 minute steady tone on sirens, horns, or
other devices. The ATTENTION or ALERT signal shall mean: "An emergency
situation exists or is imminent. Listen to your local or area radio or television station
for essential emergency information." Use of this signal is optional; it may be
authorized by local government to get public attention in times of emergency.
.
(2) Attack Warning Signal
A-26
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
.
The ATTACK WARNING signal is a 3 to 5 minute wavering tone on sirens, or a
series of short blasts on horns or other devices, repeated as often as indicated over the
National Warning System or as deemed necessary by local government authorities.
The ATTACK WARNING signal indicates that an actual attack against this country
has been detected. THIS SIGNAL WILL BE USED FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE
AND WILL HAVE NO OTHER MEANING. Everyone should take immediate
protective action and listen to the area Emergency Alert System radio station for
subsequent instructions.
This signal is appropriate for the initial attack warning and such subsequent attack
warnings as may be required.
(3) Testing Local Warning Systems
With prior public notice, local warning devices may be tested to assure that they are
operating properly and that the emergency warning signals will be recognized by the
public.
3. Peacetime Emergency Warning Systems
. 3.a Emergency Conditions and Warning Actions
Methods of warning state and local governments of specific emergency conditions are described
below:
(I) Seismic Sea Wave (Tsunami)
The NA WAS is an integral part of the Tsunami alerting system. Reports of major
earthquakes occurring at any point in the Pacific Basin, which may generate seismic
sea waves, are transmitted to the Honolulu Observatory for evaluation.
The Observatory Staff determines action to be taken and relays it over the NA WAS
circuits to inform and warn West Coast states. The State NA WAS circuit is used to
relay the information to local Warning Points in coastal counties. This same
information is also trans- mitted to local jurisdictions over appropriate radio systems,
teletype, and telephone circuits to ensure maximum dissemination.

A Tsunami Watch Bulletin is issued if an earthquake has occurred in the Pacific Basin
and could cause a tsunami. A Tsunami Warning Bulletin is issued when an earthquake
has occurred and a tsunami is spreading across the Pacific Ocean. When a threat no
longer exists, a Cancellation Bulletin is issued.
(2) Flood
A flood emergency is normally preceded by a buildup period which permits
marshalling of forces as required to combat the emergency. During the buildup period,
OES cooperates with the National Weather Service and the State Department of Water
Resources by relaying pertinent weather information and river bulletins to local
government officials in the affected areas.
OES receives this information over selected circuits and relays it to OES Regions via
the OES private line teletype system and to local governments via CLETS.
(3)
Fire
Initial warnings of major conflagrations are normally issued by the affected area
through the Operational Area and/or OES Regional Fire Coordinator, using whatever
means of communications are appropriate and available. Requests for mutual aid
follow the same channels.
(4)
Earthquake
Earthquakes occur without warning. OES could receive notification of an earthquake,
as well as subsequent information, including damage reports, from various sources,
such as:
(1) University of California Seismological Observatory, Berkeley
(2) OES Regional Offices
(3) Local Governments
(4) F ederaVState agencies
(5) Honolulu Observatory.
The information may be received via NA WAS, radio, teletype, and/or telephone, and
would be further disseminated as appropriate, using any or all of these means. The
State Warning Center has a seismic alarm system that activates during earthquakes,
prompting duty personnel to investigate the disturbance.

SITUATION ANALYSIS AND REPORTING
I. Introduction
A major problem following a disastrous event is collecting and analyzing information on the nature,
severity, and extent of damage, and reporting the results through established channels. The
information will provide officials a logical basis for their response decisions.
2. Concept of Operations
Following a disaster, local field units will promptly conduct a rapid reconnaissance of affected
areas to determine the extent of damage and will report the information to local officials. In large
scale multijurisdiction disasters (Level III), this information should first be collected at the City of
Dublin, Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and forwarded to Alameda County Operational Area
EOC. At the Operational Area it will be consolidated with other jurisdictional details. The
information will then be reported to the Regional Office of Emergency Services (OES) Mutual Aid
Region, or State Coordination Center, when activated, where it will be further consolidated and
reported to State OES Headquarters. Reports will be utilized to determine the distribution and
severity of damage and will provide the basis for initiating the emergency response and mutual aid .
support.
Where required, these actions will be followed by a detailed assessment of damage, of both the
public and private sector, with the estimates (in dollar amounts) serving as the basis for the
Governor's proclamation of a STATE OF EMERGENCY or the Governor's request to the President
for a declaration of an EMERGENCY or MAJOR DISASTER. As required, this same information
will serve as a basis for the allocation of state funds under the State Natural Disaster Assistance Act
and/or the application of Federal disaster relief programs, the latter of which would be appropriate
in the event of a Presidential declaration.
3. Policies and Procedures
3.a Disaster Intelligence
In a major disaster there are three kinds of disaster intelligence required:
(1 ) Information necessary to determine operational problems and immediate needs of the
victims. In the Immediate Impact Phase this information is the most important, and an
overriding priority will be given to its collection. Collection of category 2 and 3
information (discussed below) will not be allowed to interfere with the determination
of this category. .
A-34
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
(2) Specific information on dollar amounts, economic impact, etc., which is collected in
order to permit the Governor to request a declaration from the President under the
provisions of the Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-288). The
collection of this information is important but must not be accomplished until the
needs of 1 above have been satisfied.
(3) Information, in sufficient detail, which will be necessary to properly plan for both
short and long-range recovery. In the beginning, this item will have the lowest
priority; however, it will assume the greatest importance once priorities 1 and 2 have
been discharged.
3.b Reconnaissance
An immediate reconnaissance of the area will provide a description of the situation which can then
be evaluated and provide a determination as to general need and course(s) of action to be taken.
Such reconnaissance will normally be conducted as follows:
(I) Ground Surveys
Local damage reconnaissance will usually be accomplished through ground surveys
and will require the observation and reporting of damage, casualties, status of risk
areas, and other facts necessary for executive decision. This activity should include
the inspection and reporting of the status of key facilities (e.g., utility substations,
hospitals, etc.) which are essential to public welfare and safety. It should be followed
up by processing and forwarding applicable information through established channels.
(2)
Aerial Reconnaissance
Where capabilities exist and conditions permit, a rapid means of determining general
damage levels can be provided through aerial reconnaissance. The following
guidelines apply to the use of this method:
(a) Damage assessment efforts will be expedited with aerial reconnaissance
missions, using photographic and photogrammetric techniques where possible.
All information obtained by aerial reconnaissance should immediately be
provided to city and county governments. These actions are essential, since
relevant emergency operations cannot be effectively undertaken until damage
reports have been interpreted.
(b) Where possible, aerial reconnaissance missions will be initiated at the county
level, using locally available aircraft. Flights should be coordinated with the
OES Mutual Aid Region to avoid duplication of mission assignments. If local
aircraft are not available, a request will be submitted to the OES Mutual Aid
Region for support.

CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
(c) If no means of communication is available with known or suspected damaged .
areas, then the staff of the county will initiate aerial reconnaissance missions. If
this cannot be done, State OES will request such services from adjoining
counties or the State Departments of Transportation (Division of Aeronautics),
Fish and Game, and the California Highway Patrol, or the Civil Air Patrol.
3.c Situation Reporting
Following the initial area reconnaissance, a series of reports will be required in order to provide
detailed information to the various levels of government. Reports of damage concerning the City
of Dublin will be compiled at the City EOC. They will identify the area being reported on to
include observed damage. Where no damage is observed, negative reports will be submitted.
They will normally be submitted through channels and will consist of the following types of
reports:
(I) Flash Reports
The first series of reports to be submitted, through channels, to the OES Headquarters
in Sacramento will be Flash Reports. These will be verbal reports with the first being
submitted as quickly as possible following a disaster.
(2) Situation Reports
.
A more refined and detailed Situation Report will be prepared and submitted through
channels every two hours, or as requested. This report will define affected areas,
identify closed roads and highways, estimate the number of casualties, and provide
other essential information. Reports will provide, as a minimum, the information
contained in Attachment A-6-A, Situation Report Form.
(3) Detailed Reports
Following the Situation Reports, government at all levels will require more detailed
information, particularly that resulting from damage estimates and analysis. This type
of information would also materially assist the state and federal governments in
determining the exact situation. The information should include: the total numbers of
dead and injured; the amount of damage to both public and private facilities; and the
type and relative priority of needed assistance. This information will be provided,
along with a proclamation of a LOCAL EMERGENCY, if a request is made for the
Governor to proclaim a STATE OF EMERGENCY.
3.d Damage Assessment
(1) To support claims for public and private property losses under state and federal
disaster recovery programs, the jurisdiction will, as early as possible, conduct a
.
A-36
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
detailed assessment of damage to both the public and private sector and submit reports
to the OES Mutual Aid Regional Office. (NOTE: Requests for assistance under the
State Natural Disaster Assistance Act must be accompanied by damage assessment
information relative to public real property, excluding public property used solely for
recreational purposes.)
(2)
Damage assessment should be conducted through "at the scene" surveys by teams of
qualified local inspectors representing both the public and private sectors. Where
required, these local teams will be augmented by inspectors from appropriate state and
Federal agencies.
(NOTE:
Costs related to damage assessment are not reimbursable under existing
disaster relief laws.)
(3) Individual Assistance damage assessment relates to estimates of damage to the private
sector. Included are damages to homes, businesses, farms, possessions, and other
improvements. ~ Assistance damage assessment involves damage to public
facilities (public buildings, sewer facilities, bridges, roads, public schools, etc.).
Included in this category are costs associated with emergency actions related to search
and rescue, medical care, emergency shelter, feeding, relief, and rehabilitation.
(4) Complete details relative to the overall scope of damage assessment, to include forms,
procedures, etc., are included in the State Disaster Assistance Procedural Manual
(published and issued separately).

Enclosure A-7
EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION
I. Purpose
This enclosure establishes the Emergency Public Information (EPI) Organization and prescribes
procedures for:
o The rapid dissemination of accurate instructions and information to the public during
periods of emergency.
o Response to media inquiries and calls from the public.
o Establishment of a Media Center near the Emergency Operating Center (EOC) for use
by representatives of the print and electronic media.
o Establishment of an On-Scene Public Information Team at the site of the incident.
2. Assumptions
During emergency situations:
o The general public will demand information about the emergency situation and
instructions on proper survivaVresponse actions.
o The media will demand information about the emergency. The local media,
particularly radio, will perform an essential role in providing emergency instructions
and status information to the public. Depending on the severity of the emergency, or
the media's conception of the severity of the emergency, regional and national media
will also demand information and may play a role in reassuring (or alarming) distant
relatives of disaster victims.
o Depending on the severity of the emergency, telephone communication may be
sporadic or impossible. Local and regional radio/television stations without
emergency power may also be off the air.
o Demand for information will be overwhelming if sufficient staff is not provided and if
staff is not trained.
3. Concept of Operations
A-39
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
EPI activities during emergencies are summarized below for each period/phase. Actions to be .
taken by the City of Dublin Public Information Officer (PIO) and EPI Staff are provided in detail in
Attachment A-7-A, Public Information Officer Checklist.
3.a Pre-Emergency Period
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing and maintaining plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOPs), checklists and contact lists; developing sample news releases,
radiorrv messages, emergency instructions, periodic status reports, etc., requiring only the
particulars to be inserted; and on organizing and training EPI Staff.
Increased Readiness Phase
Increased readiness actions will include alerting staff and reviewing and updating plans,
SOPs, checklists and contact lists, as well as reviewing, updating, and completing
pre-prepared radiorrv messages, news releases, emergency instructions, etc. There may be a
need to respond to inquiries from the media and public.
3.b Emergency Period
During all emergency operations, the City of Dublin PIO will serve as the dissemination point for
all media releases. Other agencies wishing to release information to the public must coordinate
through the PIO.
.
Pre-Impact Phase
EPI functions during this phase will involve warning the public of an imminent hazard and
providing instructions on protective actions to take to avoid the hazard or reduce its impact.
EPI Staff will be fully mobilized, and emergency instructions/information will be
disseminated to the public in the following priorities (see Attachment A-7-B, Emergency
Public Information Priorities, for details):
(1) Lifesavinglhealth preservation instructions.
(2) Emergency status information.
(3) Other useful information.
Immediate Impact Phase
During this phase, the EPI Organization will be fully mobilized and emergency
instructions/information will be provided to the public in the above priorities. The Media
Center will be opened, and the On-Scene Public Information Team will be dispatched, if .
deemed appropriate.
A-40
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Sustained Emergency Phase
During this phase, applicable EPI will continue to be released, along with damage assessment
figures when available.
3.c Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
During this period, appropriate information will continue to be released, particularly on the
restoration of essential services, travel restrictions, and assistance programs available. When time
allows, actions taken during the emergency will be assessed and the EPI Plan and checklist will be
revised as necessary.
4. California Emergency Public Information System
The California Emergency Public Information System includes the City of Dublin, Alameda
County Office of Emergency Services (OES), OES Mutual Aid Region, State and Federal PIOs and
public information representatives from private agencies. The scope of the emergency will
determine how many levels of the system become actively involved in EPI release.
City and County PIOs will release EPI locally and will provide status information to PIOs at the
next higher level of government. They should coordinate in advance with the public information
representatives of local private agencies such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, and
utility companies, so that mutual needs may be fulfilled during emergencies.
When the OES Emergency Public Information Organization at the OES Headquarters in
Sacramento is activated, PIOs will be assigned to the affected OES Mutual Aid Region(s) to gather
status information from local jurisdictions and provide it to the State OES PIO. Mutual Aid Region
PIOs may reply to media calls, and will relay information from the state and federal levels to local
PIOs.
The State OES PIO will summarize the disaster situation for the media and report on state agency
response activities. The State OES PIO will also establish statewide Emergency Alert System
(EAS) programming, keep the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) PIO informed of
developments, and provide EPI Staff support to local jurisdictions on request. The State OES PIO
will coordinate news releases pertaining to a particular jurisdiction with that jurisdiction PIO
PRIOR to dissemination to the news media. When prior coordination is not feasible, the local PIO
will be informed at the earliest possible opportunity.
The FEMA PIO will provide information on federal response efforts and federal assistance
programs and may provide EPI Staff support to the state on request. The federal government
determines nationwide ABS programming.
5. EPIOrganization
A-4I
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
The Emergency Public Information Organization will be supervised by the PIO or alternate. The .
organization will function on a 24-hour basis during emergencies and will be divided into four
elements: Emergency Information/Rumor Control Section; Nonemergency Information/Visitor
Control Section; On-Scene Public Information Team; and Administrative Support Section. (See
details in Attachment A-7-C, Emergency Public Information Organization.)
6. Communications
The City of Dublin will rely on commercial telephone for dissemination of information to the
media and for responding to direct public inquiry. The PIO should ensure that sufficient telephone
circuits are installed in the Emergency Information/Rumor Control Section area to handle incoming
calls (at least three lines for media inquiry only) and in the Media Center to allow the media to relay
information. The PIO should arrange for at least one unlisted, outgoing line, not in rotary, for
his/her exclusive use during disasters. (The PIO may choose instead to request the telephone
company to institute line load control, i.e., switch certain lines to outgoing only, during disasters.)
The telephone/telecopier will be used to coordinate with PIOs in other affected jurisdictions and at
other government levels. Should telephones be out of service or unavailable (as will be the case of
the On-Scene PIO Team), the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) will be used for
communicating EPI messages. Provisions for this support will be made in advance and a list of
trained RACES operators maintained. The City of Dublin will request activation of local EAS
stations following established EAS procedures (see Attachment A-7-F). .
Local commercial radio is the most rapid means of communicating emergency information to the
public; however, EPI may need to be disseminated in a number of ways, including:
o Regional commercial radio stations whose signals reach the stricken area (if local
stations are off the air).
0 Television stations (including cable).
0 Newspapers.
0 Special EPI supplements to newspapers.
0 Leaflets distributed by volunteers.
0 Public safety loudhailer.
0 Personal contact.
7. Media Access Privileges
7.a Ground Access .
A-42
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
California Penal Code Section 409.5 (see extract in Attachment A-7-D, Media Access
Regulations) permits access by accredited reporters to areas which are closed to the public during
disasters. The California Peace Officers' Association suggests that "In general, authorized members
of the news media are to be permitted free movement in the area as long as they do not hamper,
deter, or interfere with the law enforcement or public safety functions". *
If access restrictions for the media are unavoidable in the opinion of the authority in charge of the
incident!disaster, a "pool" system may be established. Reporters on-scene should be permitted to
select one representative from each medium (radio, television, newspaper, wire service) and from
each level of coverage (local, regional, national, international) to be escorted into the area.
Reporters will then share information, photographs, and video/audio tape with other accredited
reporters. If access by the media must be denied or restricted for any reason, a complete
explanation must be given.
7.b Air Access
Federal Aviation Administration Regulation 91.91 (see extract in Attachment A-6-D) covers
temporary flight restrictions during incidents/disasters and sets forth procedures which pilots of
media and other aircraft must follow. Permission to fly over incident sites may be denied if such
flights will pose a significant safety hazard to the general public.

When EAS is activated all stations in the operational area will broadcast a common
program.
5.1.a Common Program Control Stations
A-75
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
The Federal Communicaitons Commission has identified each EAS operational area as a .
"common program" area and has designated "Common Program Control Stations"
(CPCS) in priority order within each EAS operational area.
CPCS stations in the Bay Counties EAS are:
CPCS #1 - KNBR 680 KHz (KYUU FM 99.7 MHz)
CPCS #2 - KCBS 740 KHz (KRQR FM 97.3 MHz)
CPCS #3 - LGP 810 KHz (KGO FM 103.7 MHz)
CPCS #1 will serve as the control stations. However, should CPCS #1 experience
transmission failure, CPCS #2 would assume control; should CPCS #2 fail, CPCS #3
would assume control.
6. EAS CHECKLIST FOR THE DESIGNATED LOCAL GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS:
6.1 In the event of a disaster, the Office of Emergency Services will request EAS
activation by contacting:
A.
CPCS #1 - KNBR 415-951-7041/443-1119
if unable to contact KNBR:
.
B. CPCS #2 - KCBS 415-765-4074 or

7. COMMON PROGRAM ENTRY POINT: The Alameda County Emergency
Operation Center (ALCO-EOC) has been designated as the common program entry point
for the Bay Counties EAS Operational Area. This facility is fallout protected, operational
24 hours per day, and has been provided with a two-way radio pick-up (RPU) unit to
transmit to CPCS stations. The RPU operates on 161.76 MHz.
1. If the emergency involves more than one county and the EAS common
program entry point (Alameda County EOC-ALCO-EOC) is operationa, all
EAS emergency messages will input through that facility (phone 510-557-
1603).
2. During periods when EAS has been activated to serve several counties and
emergency public information is being received at the CPCS from the several
counties and the message load reaches a level where priorities must be
established, the CPCS EAS station will not be responsible for message
prioritization. When this occurs, the CPCS EAS station management will
contact the common program entry point - Alameda County OES Emergency
Operating Center (EOC), which has been designated, - and request activation
of the common program entry point.
A.
ALCO-EOC ACTIVATION:
When requested to activate the common entry point, the Alameda County
OES ALCO-EOC Director will take immediate action to staff the facility
at a level to cope with the message load. He will request staff assistance
from participating jurisdictions. As soon as staff is available, all local
governments in the EAS operational area will be advised of the EOC
activation. At this point all input will be throught ALCO-EOC common

EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION CHECKLIST
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INCIDENT
The following Emergency Public Information (EPI) Checklist is specific to hazardous material
incidents and should be considered in addition to the basic EPI Checklist. EPI actions will
initially be taken by the On-Scene PIO Team using personnel assigned by the primary responding
agency (additional EPI Staff may be requested from the jurisdiction). The EPI Staff at the
Emergency Operating Center (EOC) will be mobilized depending on the extent of the hazard.
Media should be briefed periodically throughout the year on hazardous material incident
response procedures and related EPI procedures. All releases must be cleared through the
Incident Commander/Scene Manager and technical adviser at the scene or Emergency Marmger
at the EOC.
Unidentified Material
o If incident is in a heavy traffic area, and alternate routes are available, notify media
(radio) and request frequent announcements of instructions to avoid the area.
(Coordinate announcements with responding law agency.)
o
Notify media with full explanation as soon as material has been identified. (Clear
with Incident Commander/Scene Manager and technical adviser to avoid unduly
alarming or confusing the public.)
.
o If traffic will not impede response efforts, simply respond to media inquiry, as
necessary.
Low Hazard/Confmed Incident - No General Evacuation
o Notify media (primarily radio) that incident has occurred.
o Indicate alternate routes for traffic and request frequent announcements of
instructions to avoid the area.
o Indicate nature of incident, precautions for public.
o Release hotline number for public inquiries (if available and staffed).
o Indicate response agencies involved (coordinate with response agency PIOs),
clean-up efforts underway, time frame for resumption of normal traffic patterns, if
known.

MANAGING E:MERGENCY OPERATIONS
RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR E:MERGENCIES
1. California Readiness Conditions
The California Emergency Plan establishes four Readiness Conditions, numbered inversely from
Condition Four through Condition One, which will be used in planning for or responding to
nuclear emergencies. These readiness conditions provide the basis for an orderly transition from
normal peacetime activities to nuclear readiness at each level of the Statewide Emergency
Management Organization.
The California readiness conditions correspond to the Federal Increased Readiness Categories A
through D published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Civil Defense Guide
CPG 1-7, April 1979, which also includes guidelines on increased readiness actions.
Orders to make the transition from one readiness condition to another will be disseminated by the
Governor, or his designated representative, using the Department of Justice communications .
systems and followed. by official release to the news media. Simultaneous with the
announcement of either Condition Two or Condition One, the Governor may proclaim a State of
War Emergency to permit full mobilization of Emergency Management Organizations and
complete transition to wartime emergency status. A State of War Emergency will exist
automatically on receipt of attack warning or an actual attack.
l.a Readiness Condition Four - (Federal Guide Category A)
This readiness condition is in effect during a normal peacetime situation. Preparedness programs
are primarily concerned with developing and maintaining operational readiness to cope with
natural disasters and other peacetime emergencies and maintaining standby plans for responding
to possible, however unlikely, nuclear defense emergencies. State and local governments operate
in a normal manner, giving priority to their peacetime statutory responsibilities and obligations.
I.b Readiness Condition Three - (Federal Guide Category B)
This readiness condition will be announced by the Governor or his representative when, in his
opinion, it would be prudent for state and local governments to make internal preparations for
in-place sheltering in anticipation of, or in response to, a worsening international situation.
I.c Readiness Condition Two - (Federal Guide Category C)
.
A-I08
.
.
.
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
This readiness condition may be ordered during an international crisis created by actions on the
part of a potential enemy or the United States which may result in great risk of a general war.
The condition will be announced by the Governor or his representative when, in his opinion, the
Emergency Management Organizations of the state and local governments, including organized
volunteers, auxiliaries, and the public, should take additional specific precautionary measures in
preparation for a nuclear emergency.
I.d Readiness Condition One - (Federal Guide Category D)
This readiness condition will be announced if it is necessary to assume a complete state of war
readiness based on official notice from the Federal Government that enemy attack is considered
imminent and could occur with little or no warning.
2. Operations During War Emergencies
Managing emergency operations during nuclear emergencies will be governed by the following
essential actions relating to increased readiness and attack (with or without warning). Detailed
actions are provided in the Emergency Action Checklist, which is included as part of this
Appendix.
2.a Increased Readiness Operations
The general range of increased readiness operations to be conducted in response to a worsening
international situation is outlined below. Specific actions would be based on decisions by state
and local authorities with federal advice.
(I) Early Crisis
Initially, increased readiness operations will include reviewing and updating plans
and resource information, increasing public information efforts, accelerating training
programs, inspecting equipment, and taking other feasible measures.
(2)
Worsening Crisis
When, during a developing crisis, there is a general recognition that an attack is
possible, the local emergency organization will be activated, actions to increase
readiness and capability will be accelerated, and internal preparations will be made
to implement in-place protection. The number of shelters will be increased and
preparations will be made to establish Reception and Care Centers in designated
areas. Emergency Operating Centers (EOCs) will be activated and staffed to serve
as the focal point for coordinating increased readiness operations. Unusual changes
in traffic patterns; utility consumption rates, food and other retail sales, and
demands on public service organizations will be monitored to detect spontaneous
evacuations .
A-I09
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
(3) Mobilization
.
If the crisis worsens, a decision might be made by state or federal authorities to
mobilize fully, substantially expand civil preparedness funding, and devote all
available resources to prepare for an emergency. Shelter upgrading will commence
and final internal preparations will be made anticipating an attack warning.
If not already accomplished during the Increased Readiness Period, it will be
necessary to increase the number of shelter spaces by upgrading existing structures.
(See Annex J, Construction and Engineering Operations, for instructions relating to
shelter construction.) This will occupy all able-bodied persons, except those with
other emergency assignments.
In addition to food for immediate consumption, nonperishable foods requiring little
preparation should be accumulated for use in local shelters should the need arise.
Local governments are responsible for the stockpiling and security of these items.
The state will have the overall responsibility for the redirection and redistribution of
food as required.
The state has the responsibility for the redirection of in-state resources and for
directing transport of goods to local inventory control points one step removed from .
the consumer/user level. Local Emergency Management Staffs have the
responsibility for the redistribution of local retail inventories. Local officials should
be aware that they may be required to act as agents for the state in the
implementation of economic stabilization procedures, fiscal controls, resource
distribution, etc. State level resources control will be vested in a group of state
officials representing the State Resource Priorities Board and appropriate elements
from the community as described in the State Emergency Resources Management
Plan. Resource control will involve a system for initial automatic stoppage and
redirection of in-state food and fuel resources in quantities sufficient to meet local
short-term needs. Subsequently, local government resource organizations, having
assessed actual daily requirements, will submit changes to the automatic delivery.
See Annex K, Resources and Support Operations.
2.c Attack Operations
Should an attack occur, it is likely that communications will be disrupted and it will be necessary
to decentralize control of response actions to the local level. The main continuing threats
following an attack will be the resulting weapon-caused fIres and fallout radiation. The
emergency actions needed to protect survivors will be dictated by the weapon-caused fIre and
contamination threats in each jurisdiction. If a nuclear attack occurs, the Radiological Defense
Officer on the local Emergency Management Staff will be responsible for determining the local
basic operating situation, based on information obtained from monitoring stations, field units, .
and shelters; for advising the emergency operating organizations on measures to limit exposures
A-110
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
.
to radiation and other hazards; and for reporting changes in the local operating situation to higher
(Operational Area or Mutual Aid Region) EOCs.
Criteria for establishing monitoring and reporting stations and for assigning monitoring
equipment to shelters and to other elements of the local emergency organization are presented in
Annex R.
(I) Response to Attack Warning
If an attack warning is received, warning signals will be sounded, the public will be
directed to the best available shelter, and the Damage Monitoring and Reporting
System will be activated. When movement to shelters is completed, all outside
operations will be suspended, and law enforcement, fIre, and other emergency
forces will locate their equipment at designated staging areas, take their assigned
shelter, and assist in shelter management.
(2)
. Response to Nearby Weapon Detonation
.
If an attack occurs close enough to the jurisdiction to cause blast damage or fIres, all
available forces will be used to immediately check for possible life-threatening
damage and developing fIres, whether or not radiation is present. In the event of
nuclear attack all radiation dose controls will be suspended until actions to determine
. the local situation are completed. If radiation is present, the dose rates and total
dose to personnel will be monitored and reported.
(3)
Response to Weapon-Caused Damage and Fires
If the jurisdiction experiences direct weapons effects, emergency operations will be
focused on protecting the population from the immediate threat of fIres, whether or
not fallout radiation is present.
If fIres are judged to be uncontrollable, shelters in areas susceptible to mass fIres
will be evacuated immediately, and the threatened population will be moved to safer
shelters or to safer nearby jurisdictions, if feasible. Fire control efforts will be
centered on protecting people and preventing further fIre spread. Organized forces
and volunteer groups from outside the mass fIre area will assist in the remedial
movement and support of evacuees. After the threatened population has been
moved, the best available shelter posture will be maintained by the remaining
population and exposure control imposed on all out-of-shelter operations until
danger of attack is over and fallout radiation levels permit unsheltered operations.
(4) Response in Undamaged Areas
. If the jurisdiction is found to be clear of direct weapons effects, organized forces
will be made available to support operations in nearby, more seriously affected
A-HI
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
jurisdictions, and preparations will be made to receive, care for, and shelter
refugees. If fallout radiation is present, radiation dose controls will be imposed on
support operations as described below.
.
(5) Response in Contaminated Areas
(This section only applicable to Nuclear Weapons)
If the jurisdiction receives fallout, the objective of emergency operations will be to
minimize exposure to fallout radiation by maintaining the population in shelters until
danger of further attack is over and fallout is no longer a substantial hazard.
Initially, outside operations, except those required to complete movement to shelter
or to control fIres that threaten the immediate safety of people in shelters, will be
suspended until fallout deposition is complete.
If measured outside dose rates remain below 50 r/hr, unsheltered operations needed
to sustain the sheltered population may be authorized, in accordance with radiation
dose controls, and actions to support more seriously affected jurisdictions may be
initiated.
If outside dose rates exceed 50 r/hr, operations outside shelters will be prohibited
until the dose rate, having passed a peak value, has decreased to less than 50 rlhr. .
At that time, essential operations to sustain the population in shelters will be
undertaken under strict radiation controls, and plans will be developed for shelter
emergence.
(6) Response to Advice that Attack is Over
Preparations for shelter emergence will center on decontamination and mobilization
of predesignated staging areas. When the staging areas are operative, selected
emergence from shelter will be scheduled. Population groups will be transported to
another area of lesser hazard, if feasible and necessary, or to other shelter facilities
where they can be cared for. Radiation control and environmental health measures
will be continued until fallout radiation no longer presents a substantial hazard.

Annex B
FIRE AND RESCUE OPERATIONS
B.l Introduction
This annex addresses general procedures for fire suppression and related rescue operations during
natural disasters, technological incidents, and war emergencies. In addition, it identifies the
implementation procedures for mutual aid and other support depending on the magnitude of the
occurrence.
B.2 Objectives
The overall objectives of fire and rescue operations will be to:
o Mobilize and deploy fire resources and coordinate fire suppression and related
rescue operations.
o
Coordinate light rescue operations and fire department responses to medical
emergencIes.
o Coordinate and initiate fire safety measures appropriate to mitigation of fire hazards.
o Implement the Alameda County Hazardous Materials Response Plan associated with
hazardous material spills.
o If available assist in alerting and notifying the general public.
o Assist law enforcement, as needed, in traffic control activities.
o Assist law enforcement in perimeter access control.
o Assist law enforcement agencies, as needed, in search and rescue efforts.
o Coordinate heavy rescue operations with other agencies.
B.3 Concept of Operations
During either peacetime or war emergencies, fire and rescue operations will be conducted by:
county and city fire departments, fire districts, or agencies normally providing fire protection as a
secondary function (e.g., County Water District (CWD), Public Utility Districts (PUD),
B-3
..,
CIlY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Municipal Utility Districts (MUD) etc.), private fire services, California Department of Forestry,
and any federal agencies having firefighting capabilities and functions relevant to the situation.
.
To assure the maximum efficiency in the use of fire resources, the Incident Command System
(ICS) should be employed by the fire agencies for the on-scene management of facilities,
equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications.
Fire and rescue activities during peacetime and war emergencies will usually be associated with
the periods and phases indicated below. Detailed operational concepts and emergency response
actions associated with various types of emergencies are provided in Appendix B,
Hazard-Specific Responses.
B.3.l Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOP) and checklists detailing the disposition of resources in an
emergency. Such plans and procedures will provide for coordination and communication
channels with counterpart agencies and organizations of other jurisdictions. Resource
listings will also be prepared and maintained current. Auxiliaries and reserves should be .
trained.
Increased Readiness Phase
This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of
a flood which could impact Alameda County or a rapidly deteriorating international
situation which could lead to a possible enemy attack upon the United States. Increased
readiness actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs and resource
information, accelerating training programs, inspecting equipment, and taking other
feasible measures. Necessary actions will also be taken to mobilize available resources, to
include auxiliaries and reserves.
B.3.2 Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during this phase would be precautionary and would be
centered around taking appropriate countermeasures to protect people should the City of
Dublin be impacted by an event such as a slow-rise flood situation, a health-endangering .
B-4
.
.
.
..,
CIlY OF DUBLIN'
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
hazardous material incident, or enemy attack. Fire and rescue personnel could be involved
in assisting law enforcement personnel in moving persons from potentially hazardous areas
to safer reception areas, and assisting them, as required, in implementing access control
plans for vacated or threatened areas.
Immediate Impact Phase
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrated on the well-being of people impacted
by an event. Examples of such events are: a major earthquake, a flash flood, a large
explosion, a release of hazardous materials, or a enemy attack. Priority activities will
include fire suppression and rescue operations, performing any containment or cleanup of
hazardous materials, and assisting in any traffic or access control operations.
Sustained Emergency Phase
As early lifesaving and property-protecting actions continue, attention can be given to
other priority activities during this phase. This might include providing fire support to
established mass care facilities, and assisting in detailed damage assessment activities.
B.3.3 Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
Priorities during this period will be focused on continuing to provide essential fire services, and
assisting with recovery operations.
B.4 Organization and Responsibilities
B.4.l Local
The Fire Chief of Dougherty Regional Fire Authority will be the deisgnated Local Fire and
Rescue Coordinator for the City of Dublin. The Local Fire and Rescue Coordinator will serve
as a member of the Local Emergency Management Staff, and will be responsible for the
following activities:
o Coordinating the activities of personnel engaged in fire and rescue operations.
o Maintaining communications with field commands, including any established ICS
organizations.
o Evaluating status reports and determining priorities for commitment of fire and
rescue resources.
o
Determining the need for additional assistance and submitting appropriate requests
to the Operational Area Fire and Rescue Coordinator.

BA.2 Operational Area
The Operational Area Fire and Rescue Coordinator, who is selected by the Fire Chiefs within the
Operational Area, is the next level of mutual aid responsibility and is responsible for countywide
fire and rescue resources.
Mobilization of Operational Area fire resources is activated by the Operational Area Fire and
Rescue Coordinator, or his representative, in response to a request for assistance from an
authorized fire official of the participating agency in need. The Operational Area Fire and
Rescue Coordinator must notify the Regional Fire and Rescue Coordinator of area resources
committed.
B.4.3 Mutual Aid Region
Each Office of Emergency Services (OES) Mutual Aid Region has a Regional Fire and Rescue
Coordinator who is selected by the Operational Area Fire and Rescue Coordinators within their
respective regions. They in turn appoint two or more alternate Regional Fire and Rescue
Coordinators. The Regional Coordinators, or their alternates, serve on the staff of the OES
Regional Manager during a State of War Emergency or State of Emergency proclaimed by the .
Governor.
Should a present or anticipated emergency be so great as to require the resources of one or more
Operational Areas, the Regional Fire and Rescue Coordinator will organize and dispatch the
requested resources from those available to the requesting jurisdiction.
Regional Fire and Rescue Coordinators, upon dispatch of mutual aid resources from within the
region, must inform the Chief, OES Fire and Rescue Division of the resources committed.
BAA State
Office of Emergency Services (OES)
Responsible for the coordination and application of state resources in support of

FIRE AND RESCUE
RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES
Fire and rescue operations during Nuclear Emergencies will be governed by the following
essential actions relating to increased readiness, in-place sheltering, nucear attack (with or
without warning), and evacuation. Detailed actions are provided in the Emergency Action
Checklist, which is included as a part of this Appendix.
Increased Readiness Operations
During an international crisis which poses a threat of war, all fue agencies will prepare for
the possibility of in-place sheltering, attack, and evacuation. Agencies should review and
update plans, alert personnel, and maintain equipment, including warning systems, in a
state of readiness. If time permits, agencies should place emphasis on recruiting and
training volunteers to expand capabilities. Fire prevention efforts should be concentrated
on facilities which will be used extensively during in-place sheltering or evacuation
operations.
.
Crisis Relocation Operations
If crisis relocation is ordered, increased and extraordinary demands will be placed on the
fire agencies. A large increase in the incidence of fires is not expected; however, medical
emergency responses may increase substantially in reception areas due to the relocated
population. The inspection of lodging and food service facilities, monitoring of shelter
upgrading, and educating people in fire safety will require a large number of trained
personnel. Consequently, reception areas must be augmented by fire resources from
hazard areas if these individual missions are to be accomplished. With regard to
operations in hazard areas, some changes in firefighting tactics may be required and if
major firefighting problems arise, it is expected that forces can be recalled from the
reception areas. Fire agencies in hazard areas will dispatch liaison teams to designated
reception areas at the beginning of crisis relocation operations to assist in coordinating the
movement of fire resources into reception areas and the assignment of responsibilities to
relocating personnel, who will come under the operational responsibility of the Fire Chiefs
in the reception areas.
Crisis relocation operations will be conducted in the
following phases:
Alert (Mobilization) Phase
.
B-18
.
.
.
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
In response to the alert to prepare for crisis relocation, all fire agencies should recall
off-duty personnel, and reserves and auxiliaries should be mobilized and assigned
emergency missions. Preparations should then be made to conduct movement
operations in accordance with Annex H, Movement Operations. Reception areas
should make preparations to receive persons being relocated from hazard areas.
Movement Phase
During this phase, any required augmentation support will be dispatched to
designated reception areas. While moving along designated relocation
routes,relocatees may require emergency medical care, and such care may be
provided by qualified fire personnel. To be most effective, units should be
positioned near major access routes. During movement operations, routine fire
prevention and suppression activities must be continued in both hazard and reception
areas.
Sustaining Phase
Once relocatees have been registered and assigned to lodging, feeding, and fallout
facilities, fire agencies in reception areas my be expected to perform numerous
duties other than normal daily operations. The most noteworthy are those associated
with the assignment of personnel to fue safety inspection of lodging and feeding
facilities and fallout shleter upgrading operations.
Attack Operations
If an attack warning is received at any time during the crisis, the fire agencies will assist in
disseminating the warning to the general public. When the population has completed the
movement to shelter, fire and rescue personnel should station mobile units at designated
locations and then take shelter and assist Shelter Managers in fire prevention, and, in the
event of use of nuclear weapons, radiological monitoring.

(1 ) The law enforcement officer responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the
City of Dublin shall be in command of these operations. He shall meet and confer
with the Alameda County Sheriff about any problems. If an agreement cannot be
reached to resolve necessary decisions, the fmal responsibility shall rest with the
Sheriff.
(2) Security patrols will be maintained in evacuated areas when feasible. Appropriate
precautions will be taken to protect personnel from potential hazards.
(3) Priority for movement in impacted areas will be given to essential activities such as
public safety, medical and health services, and the delivery of essential provisions and
other resources.
(4) If evacuation is ordered, attention should be directed to relocating detainees from
facilities in the hazard area to similar facilities nearby.
.
(5) If an emergency situation dictates the movement of persons from areas that might be,
or have been, impacted, movement operations will be conducted in accordance with
Annex H, Movement Operations.
(6) If access control has to be established to facilitate ingress into and egress from
impacted areas, or hazardous or potentially hazardous areas, such operations will be
conducted in accordance with the procedures outlined in Enclosure C-2, Access
Control. Control points will be established to assure that only authorized personnel
are permitted to enter, pass through, or remain within controlled areas.
(7) Auxiliary and reserve personnel should be utilized for low risk duties, such as security
and traffic control.
(8) Shifts and patrol areas should be reconfigured, as necessary, to meet the demands of
the situation.
(9) Due to the incompatibility of radio communications equipment between most law
enforcement agencies, local agencies should, where possible, provide incoming mutual
aid forces with portable radios using local frequencies.

Coordination of mutual aid support will be accomplished through established channels
(cities to Operational Areas, to Mutual Aid Regions, to State). Request should
include, as applicable:
o Number of personnel needed.
o Type and amount of equipment.
o Reporting time and location.
o Authority to whom they are to report.
o Access routes.
o Estimated duration of operations.
All law enforcement mutual aid support will, to the maximum extent possible, be
provided in accordance with the California Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Plan.
(11) Whenever a STATE OF EMERGENCY exists within a region or area, the following
personnel within the region or area, or who may be assigned to duty therein, have full
peace officer powers and duties as provided by Section 830.1 of the Penal Code:
o All members of the California Highway Patrol.
o
All deputies of the Department of Fish and Game who have been appointed to
enforce the provisions of the Fish and Game Code.
o The State Forester and the classes of the Department of Forestry who are
designated by the State Forester as having the powers of peace officers.
o All members of the California State Police.
o Peace officers who are State employees within the provisions of Section 830.5
of the Penal Code.
(Note: The above personnel also have statewide peace officer powers and duties in the
event of a STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY.)
(12)
California Highway Patrol (CHP) support of mutual aid operations is normally
provided after local and adjacent governmental resources within a given Operational
Area have been reasonably committed. Such support may also be provided earlier if
the Governor determines it to be in the best interest of the public. CHP personnel
committed to the support of local authorities shall remain under the command and
control of their department. Commanders and designated supervisors may accept
missions from the responsible local authorities. Requests for support by the CHP will
be submitted to the appropriate Area Commander who may commit half of the Area's
on-duty forces.
C-9

CIlY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
(Note: All local law enforcement resources do not necessarily have to be committed
prior to requesting such support.)
(13) State Military Forces (National Guard) in support of local law enforcement will accept
and execute broad mission-type orders from the civil officer in charge, but will at all
times remain under the military chain of command. The provisions of Section 365 of
the Military and Veteran's Code place, solely on the military commander, all decisions
as to tactical direction and troops, kind and extent of force to be used, and particular
means to be employed to accomplish the objective specified by the civil officer in
charge.
(Note: The Department of the Army has issued certain regulations regarding
temporary loan of federal military resources to National Guard Units and
local civil authorities.)
(14) When the State has committed all of its available forces, including State Military
Forces, and when such forces are unable to control the emergency, only the Governor
may request that the President assign federal troops to assist in restoring or
maintaining law and order.

ACCESS CONTROL
1. Introduction
In the event of a pending or existing natural disaster, technological incident or a war emergency, it
may be necessary to evacuate persons from a hazard area. During and following an evacuation,
perimeter access controls will be necessary to eliminate any re-entry of the hazard area by
unauthorized persons.
2. Objectives
The overall objectives of access control operations will be to:
o Provide a controlled area from which evacuation will take place, and prevent entry by
unauthorized persons.
o Protect lives by controlling entry into extreme hazard areas, thus reducing public
exposure to the current or pending hazard agent.
o
Maintain law and order in the hazard area as well as the normal areas of responsibility.
3. Situation
A hazard or potential hazard situation could justify the need for evacuation for a short period of a
few hours to several days or weeks, depending on the hazard and its severity. In order to limit
access to the hazard area, various personnel and devices will be required, such as the following:
o Personnel to direct traffic and man control points.
o Signs to control or restrict traffic.
o Two-way radios to communicate to personnel within and outside the secured area.
o Control point(s).
o Adjacent highway markers indicating closure of area.
o Markers on surface roads leading into the secured area.
o Patrols within and outside the secured areas.

5. Policies and Procedures
5.a Criteria for allowing entry into closed areas will be established for each incident. Two basic
. options are available:
o No access - Prohibits public from entering the closed area. Authorized personnel, i.e.,
local, state, and federal emergency personnel will be allowed entry to perform
emergency work as necessary. Media representatives will be allowed access on a
controlled basis.
o Limited Access - Allows persons into closed area according to criteria established by
the E.O.C. Manager. Entry criteria should defme the persons who will be allowed
entry and whether motor vehicles are allowed. Persons allowed entry might include
residents with valid identification, and owners, managers, and employees of businesses
located in closed area. All persons allowed access will be required to sign a waiver of
liability and complete an entry permit (see Attachment C 2-A, Entry Permit).
5.b Penal Code Section 409.5 (Authority of Peace Officers to Close Areas in Emergencies)
indicates that any unauthorized person who willfully and knowingly enters an area closed by
a peace officer and who willfully remains within such area, after receiving notice to evacuate
or leave, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
Nothing in Penal Code Section 409.5 prevents a duly authorized representative of any news
service, newspaper, radio or television station or network from entering a closed area.
.
5.c A record will be maintained of all vehicles and personnel who enter a closed area.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TRAFFIC CONTROL
RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES
Law enforcement and traffic control operations during nuclear emergencies will be governed by the
following essential actions relating to increased readiness, in-place sheltering, and enemy attack
(with or without warning). Detailed actions are provided in the Emergency Action Checklist, which
is included as a part of this Appendix.
Increased Readiness Operations
During an international crisis which poses a threat of war, all law enforcement agencies
should prepare for the possibility of in-place sheltering, and attack. Agencies should review
and update plans, alert personnel, and maintain equipment, including warning systems, in a
state of readiness. Time permitting, agencies should place emphasis on the recruitment,
training, and assignment of emergency missions to reserves and auxiliaries. Security efforts
should be concentrated on facilities having the greatest operational significance during
evacuation operations. Most importantly, warning systems should be tested.
.
Attack operations
If an attack warning is received at any time during the crisis, law enforcement agencies will
assist in the dissemination of warning information and will provide crowd and traffic
direction and control during the movement of people to shelter. When the general population
has completed the movement to shelter, law enforcement personnel should station mobile
units at assigned locations and then take shelter. If the area experiences any weapons effects,
personnel will assist the fue agencies in suppression activities and, as necessary, in remedial
movement.

Annex D
MEDICAL OPERATIONS
Dol Introduction
This annex describes the basic concepts, policies and procedures for providing disaster medical care
to persons during major natural disasters, technological incidents, and war emergencies. The annex
defines the Disaster Medical Care Organization and its responsibilities. This annex applies
primarily to major area-wide disasters creating sufficient casualties to overwhelm local disaster
medical response capabilities. Medical response plans for "point-type" emergencies, such as
transportation accidents involving multiple casualties will be made in accordance with the
guidelines in Enclosure D-I, Multicasualty Incident Plan.
Do2 Objectives
The overall objectives of disaster medical care operations will be to:
o Minimize loss of life, subsequent disability, and human suffering by ensuring timely
and coordinated medical assistance, to include evacuation of severely ill and injured
patients.
o
Coordinate the application of medical facilities and the procurement, allocation, and
distribution of medical personnel, supplies, communications, and other resources.
o Provide a system for receipt and dissemination of information required for effective
response to and recovery from the effects of a major disaster.
Do3 Concept of Operations
Disaster medical care activities during peacetime and war emergencies will usually be associated
with the periods and phases indicated below. Guidance for plans detailing operational concepts and
emergency response actions associated with various types of emergencies are provided in Appendix
D, Hazard-Specific Responses.
Do301 Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOP) and checklists detailing the disposition of public and private
medical resources in an emergency. Such plans and procedures will provide for coordination
D-3
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
and communication channels with public and private agencies and individuals that normally .
operate independently. Resource listings will also be prepared and maintained current.
Increased Readiness Phase
This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of a
flood which could impact the City of Dublin, or a rapidly deteriorating international situation
which could lead to a possible enemy attack upon the United States. Increased readiness
actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs and resource information, ensuring
that facilities and equipment are in a state of readiness, alerting of resource suppliers and
emergency personnel, and other measures to increase capabilities to accomplish emergency
missions.
Do302 Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre-Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during this phase would be precautionary and would be
centered around taking appropriate countermeasures to protect people should the jurisdiction
be impacted by an event such as a slow-rise flood situation, a health-endangering hazardous
material incident, or an enemy attack. If local plans for moving persons from threatened
areas are placed into effect, medical personnel will implement plans for moving patients in
hospitals and nursing homes within the threatened area to facilities in reception areas.
Hospitals will consider discharging ambulatory patients to facilitate an evacuation of the
facility and will seek to ensure the safety of patients whose illnesses and injuries preclude
evacuation.
.
Immediate Impact Phase
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrated on the well-being of people impacted by
an event. Examples of such events are: a major earthquake, volcanic eruption, a release of
hazardous materials, or an enemy attack. Priority activities will include providing disaster
medical care to injured persons and/or continuing medical care to patients moved to facilities
in evacuation areas.
Persons requiring medical assistance will be treated at local facilities insofar as possible.
Medical personnel and supplies will be transported to the affected area as rapidly as feasible
to provide assistance. If local facilities are unable to adequately accommodate patients due to
the large number of casualties or damage to local facilities, it will be necessary to move
patients to suitable facilities elsewhere.
.
D-4
.
.
.
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Casualties will be treated and transported in accordance with the guidelines outlined in
Enclosure D-2, Disaster Triage Procedures.
Sustained Emergency Phase
As early lifesaving and property-protecting actions continue, attention can be given to other
priority activities during this phase, such as assuring that hospital and nursing home patients
receive continuing care, that other persons moved to congregate care facilities receive
medical care, and that continuing day-to-day medical emergencies are met.
Do303 Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
Priorities during this period will be focused on continuing to provide essential medical care
services, and assisting in recovery operations and restoration of the area's medical care delivery
capacity.
D.4 Organization and Responsibilities
D.401 Local
To enhance response to and coordination with the Local Emergency Management Staffs of each
city in the county, the City of Dublin has appointed the Dougherty Regional Fire Authority to be
the Local Medical Coordinator. This Local Emergency Management staff member will be
responsible for maintaining communications with the Countywide Disaster Medical Coordinator.
City needs and county operations of medical care centers, casualty collection points, distribution
of medical resources, transportation of casualties and other related medical care information will
be relayed between the Local and County Coordinators.
Do402 Countywide
During all emergency phases, the Alameda County Health Department is responsible for
providing Countywide Disaster Medical Operations. The Health Department's responsibilities
will include medical operations for all municipal jurisdictions within the county, as well as the
unincorporated areas. A representative of the County Health Department will be designated as
the Countywide Disaster Medical Coordinator. The Countywide Coordinator will respond to any
disaster affecting one or more jurisdictions in the county.
Countywide Disaster Medical Coordinator
The Countywide Disaster Medical Coordinator, who shall be the County Health Officer or
his designee, shall be responsible for:

Federal agencies operating under their own statutory authority may render direct assistance; .
however, following a Presidential Declaration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) will coordinate the federal response system supporting emergency medical needs
resulting from disasters. FEMA will be supported by the Sixth U.S. Army Headquarters, the
Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense.
As state shortfalls occur, federal agencies will make their resources available to support
state/local medical response efforts.
D.4o 7 Business and Industry
Businesses and industries with personnel and resources needed to meet emergency medical
requirements will be incorporated into the local emergency organization.
D.5 Policies and Procedures
D.501 Managing Disaster Medical Care Operations
Overall management of the Countywide disaster medical care operations will be the re-
sponsibility of the County Public Health Officer who will be supported by: Local Disaster
Medical Coordinators; local rescue teams; field rescue and transport services provided by local
fire forces and local paramedics; and emergency medical services personnel. Expedient medical
care and first aid services for injured persons will be provided through a network of CCPs and
first aid stations operated by County Public Health and supported by local medical personnel.
Intracounty hospital services will be coordinated by the County Public Health Officer, with
intercounty hospital services being coordinated by the duly appointed RDMHC.
.
In the event local medical resources are unable to meet the medical needs of disaster victims, the
County Health Officer may request assistance from neighboring jurisdictions through the
RDMHC or OES Regional Office. The RDMHC will coordinate the provision of medical
resources to the affected county and the distribution of casualties to unaffected areas as
conditions permit. If a state response is indicated, the functions of the affected Region's
RDMHC will be subsumed under the overall state medical response.
D.5.2 Reconnaissance and Information
The following information will be required for managing disaster medical operations:
o The number, by triage category, and location of casualties.
o The location and helicopter accessibility of CCPs.
o
Land route information to determine which CCPs may be evacuated by ground
transportation.
.....

.
.
.
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
The resource needs of affected areas.
o Location, capabilities, and patient evacuation needs of operational medical facilities
in and around the affected area.
Information will be consolidated at the Alameda County Emergency Operating Center
(Operational Area) level and provided to the RDMHC who will transmit it to the EMSA Staff at
the State Operations Center (SOC). In the event the RDMHC is unable to function, the EMSA
will coordinate directly with County Health Officers.
D.5.3 Transportation of Casualties
Transportation of the injured to local medical facilities, CCPs, and from damaged to operational
medical facilities, will primarily be the responsibility of the Alameda County Health Department.
In the event that available ambulances are not sufficient, expedient means of transporting
minimally injured casualties may be required including the use of buses, trucks, and automobiles.
To the extent feasible and consistent with triage priorities, patients requiring immediate
transportation will have priority for ambulance transportation with other transportation used for
less seriously injured.
Mutual aid channels will be used for requesting additional medical transportation resources if
local resources are insufficient.
Casualty transportation resources will be in great demand; therefore, it is vital that casualties be
transported on the basis of medical triage priorities.
D.5.4 Special Disaster Medical Operations and Procedures
A major areawide disaster creating mass casualties that overwhelm local capabilities (Level III
disaster) will require activation of disaster medical operations not normally used in emergency
medical care. These special operations include Casualty Collection Points and Disaster Support
Areas. Predesignated sites for these operations are provided in Part Three, Operation Data.
Policies and procedures are provided in the following enclosures:
Enclosure D-4, Casualty Collection Point Operations

Services Office and at the Sheriffs Department Communication Center. The plan may be
activated by the first arriving law enforcement, fire or ambulance units at an emergency incident
involving any number of injured persons which may exhaust the rescue and medical resources of
the responsible agencies within a portion of the county.
The Multi-Casualty Incident Plan includes methods and procedures for:
o Alerting of appropriate public safety agencies.
o Dispatching sufficient emergency transport vehicles and personnel to meet the
medical care and transport needs of the victims.
o
Distribution of casualties to appropriate medical facilities based on the severity of
patient injury and the capacity of the facility to provide definitive medical care.
o Overall scene management and command post organization.
o Management of the medical response including designation of medical command
and assignment team leaders for triage, treatment, transportation, etc.

DISASTER TRIAGE PROCEDURES
Field triage should be carried out in accordance with procedures set forth in the Multi-Casualty
Incident Plan. Physician directed disaster medical care triage procedures should be initiated at
disaster sites and disaster medical care facilities in accordance with the following guidelines:
1. Priority I - Immediate transport. First priority casualties are those that have
life-threatening injuries that are readily correctable. For purposes of priority for
dispatch to hospital, however, a second sorting or review may be necessary so only
those "transportable" cases are taken early. Some will require extensive stabilization
at the scene before transport may be safely undertaken.
2.
Priority II - Delayed transport casualties are all those whose therapy may' be delayed
without significant threat to life or limb and those for whom extensive or highly
sophisticated procedures are necessary to sustain life (this latter group are likely to
have a poor chance for survival even with the best of care). (Note: The delayed
category now includes those classified delayed and those classified expectant or
pending in the army triage system and on the Department of Health and Human
Services Triage Card.)
3. Casualties requiring minimal care will not be tagged, or registered. They will not be
given professional level care and will not be admitted to hospitals. They will be sent
from the incident scene in order to reduce confusion unless they are needed to assist
as litter bearers or first aiders.
4. The dead will be identified by an "X" on the forehead or covered with marked
material. Professional opinion will be sought where needed. They will be
completely covered with a sheet, blanket or other available opaque material. They
should be moved out of the immediate casualty sorting area by the County Coroner
as soon as practicable.
5. Panic-stricken persons, or those psychologically disturbed, who might interfere with
casualty handling, should be isolated from the incident scene as soon as possible.
Sedation and/or restraints may be used as indicated.

CASUAL TY COLLECTION POINT OPERATIONS
1. Purpose
The Purpose of this section is to provide guidance to local authorities for the designation,
activation, and operation of Casualty Collection Points (CCPs). Since CCPs will be the principal
statellocal operational response to a catastrophe, interjurisdictional consistency in CCP
operations is important.
2. General
CCPs are sites predesignated by county officials for the congregation, triage, austere medical
treatment, and stabilization for evacuation of casualties during a major disaster. They will be
utilized to provide only the most . austere medical treatment directed primarily to the
moderately/severely injured or ill who will require later definitive care and who have a
substantial probability of surviving until they are evacuated to other medical facilities. CCPs
should not be viewed as first aid stations for the minimally injured, although provisions may be
made to refer them to a nearby site for first aid. Nor should CCPs be viewed as only short term
staging areas because evacuation of casualties from the CCP may be delayed due to limited
availability of transportation. Given the uncertainty of the flow of casualties, the availability of
supplies and personnel, and the timeliness and rate of casualty evacuation, managers of CCPs
must be cautious in the allocation of resources (especially during the first twenty-four hours of
operation).
.
3. Designation of CCPs
The designation, establishment, organization, and operation of CCPs is the responsibilities of
Alameda County officials. Regional and state resources will be available to resupply and
augment CCP operations, but are generally unavailable to activate a CCP during the initial
response phase. Counties should designate two categories of CCPs:
o Category A CCPs are those the county is reasonably sure it will activate in case of a
major disaster involving mass casualties. The locations of Category A CCPs should
be publicized before a disaster occurs.
o Category B CCPs are those which may be activated depending on the number and
location of casualties, the resources available, and their accessibility. The location
of Category B CCPs should be publicized only after they have been activated.
.
D-16
.
.
.
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
If a large number of casualties occur in an area distant from any CCP, the Countywide Medical
Coordinator may designate additional CCPs, as appropriate and so notify the local and state
responders and the public of its location.
In selecting CCP locations, consideration should be given to: proximity to areas which are most
likely to have large numbers of casualties; distribution of locations in potential high-risk areas
throughout the affected area; ease of access for staff, supplies and casualties; ease of evacuation
by air or land; and the ability to secure the area.
4. Medical Care
Medical resources at CCPs should be oriented towards stabilization for transport and relieving
suffering. Supplies, personnel, and conditions will not usually allow definitive care of even
minor or moderate injuries. Care should ordinarily be limited to:
o Arrest of significant bleeding
o Splinting of fractures
o Maintenance or improvement of hemodynamic conditions by intravenous solution
o Treatment of severe respiratory conditions
o Pain relief
5.
CCP Operations
The flow of casualties into a CCP is unpredictable depending on its distance from casualties, the
success of public information efforts, its accessibility, and the pace of search and rescue
operations.
o If delay is lengthy, reconsideration of triage of the seriously injured and a higher
level of pre-hospital care at CCPs may be needed.
o Supplies from outside the disaster area to the CCPs may be delayed.
o Water, power, and other resources may be scarce, limiting the type of medical
treatment feasible at a CCP.
o Inclement weather and other atmospheric conditions may hinder helicopter delivery
of personnel and supplies and evacuation of casualties.
The public, fire, and police agencies will be notified by county officials of the location of
functioning CCPs.
Status reports will be made by each CCP to the County Health Officer or Operational Area
Disaster Medical Coordinator, describing: numbers and triage category of casualties; medical

Patient tracking will begin at CCPs, using a Patient Tracking Tag which will be attached to the
patient during triage operations. This tag will remain with the patient until the final medical
treatment facility is reached.

DISASTER SUPPORT AREA (DSA) MEDICAL OPERATIONS
1. Medical Staging Area
The DSA will serve as a medical staging area through which casualties requiring hospitalization
for substantial care are transported for dispersal to medical facilities in uninvolved areas. A
"Leap Frog" concept will be used in evacuating casualties and providing mutual aid resources.
Under this concept, casualties will be evacuated from Casualty Collection Points (CCPs) in the
affected area to the DSA, then to a more distant medical facility for definitive care. Human and
material resources will then be transported from the DSA to the affected area on the return trip.
The movement of casualties and resources will be coordinated with all appropriate levels of
government, and medical response and emergency medical agencies in the affected area, by the
State Disaster Medical Coordinator (Director, EMSA). In general, only minimal medical
stabilization services aimed at preserving life will be performed at the DSA.
2. Medical Functions
Medical function responsibilities at the DSA include:
o Planning the organization and layout of the medical section of the DSA.
o Establishing procedures for patient flow.
o Directing the establishment of the medical site and implementation of patient care
procedures.
o Providing orientation for personnel staffing the DSA medical function.
The DSA will also serve as the site for the receipt, storage, and disbursement of medical
resources into unaffected areas.
3. Satellite Medical Operations
Medical DSAs may be created by the Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) at other
locations depending on the location of large pockets of casualties and the amount of responding
resources available.

4.
Organization and Support of Personnel
.
Physicians and other licensed medical personnel arriving at the DSA shall sign a log sheet listing
their name, specialty, and license number. Medical personnel shall carry some proof of licensure
with them. This information will be used by the Disaster Medical Coordinator to organize
medical assistance teams with appropriate skills. Each team will triage and provide austere
treatment to an average of 200 casualties per eight hour shift at CCPs (if needed) or at the DSA.
Each team shall consist of:
o Two physicians with specialties in emergency medicine, surgery, orthopedics,
family practice, internal medicine, or gynecology.
o Four registered nurses.
o Two physician's assistants or nurse practitioners. (May substitute RNs or
paramedical personnel, if necessary.)
o One medical assistance personnel (dentist, veterinarian, etc.).
o Four L VNs or aides.
o
Two clerks.
.
As soon as medical personnel arrive at the DSA, they will be provided with orientation material
e.g., disaster tags, triage and austere medical care guidelines, DSA and CCP organization and
operations material (currently under
development).
Private sector medical personnel will be integrated with CNG Medical Brigade operations at the
DSA.
5. Movement of Resources
Written agreements should be established with commercial airlines to provide transportation of
medical personnel from throughout the state to the DSA.
Other transportation for personnel and equipment from other areas of the State to the DSA will
be requested of private air and surface carriers, the military, and state and federal agencies
through the State Office of Emergency Services.
Most medical supplies and support equipment supplied by the federal government will probably
originate from Department of Defense Logistic Supply Depots and the Veterans Administration.
Initial transport of supplies will be accomplished by the military; later transport may be .
supplemented by the private sector.

CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Open market purchased resources will be delivered by the supplier. If the supplier is unable to
transport, transportation will be requested through the DSA.
If land routes are open between CCPs and the DSA (or other sites of definitive or intermediate
care), trucks and buses will be used to transport large numbers of casualties requiring evacuation.
However, ambulances from unaffected areas will be primarily needed for the transport of
casualties from the receiving sites in reception areas to definitive care facilities. Regional
Disaster Medical Coordinators (RDMCs) will request assistance through County Health Officers
(Operational Area Disaster Medical Coordinators) and will coordinate ambulance activity.
Transportation resources options include:
o Commercial fixed-wing aircraft, trucks, and buses.
o CNG and U.S. Armed Forces fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and trucks.
o Private and public ambulance companies.
o Water transport.

RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES
Medical operations during nuclear emergencies will be governed by the following essential
actions relating to increased readiness, in-place sheltering, and attack operations (with or without
warning). Detailed actions are provided in the Emergency Action Checklist, which is included as
a part of this Appendix.
Increased Readiness Operations
Should a threatening international crisis develop, all public and private medical service
providers will be mobilized, and a Disaster Medical Care Organization will be established.
This organization will require participation by a large number of public and private
agencies and individuals that normally operate independently. During a worsening crisis,
measures to increase readiness and capability for in-place shelter and evacuation and attack
operations will be undertaken by all elements of the organization. This will include
reviewing and updating plans and resource information, alerting personnel, training and
assigning additional personnel, ensuring that facilities and equipment are in a state of
readiness, and other measures to increase capabilities to accomplish emergency missions.
Crisis Relocation Operations
If crisis relocation is ordered, the large number of persons moving into evacuation areas
will substantially increase the demand for medical resources. All elements in evacuation
areas will be required to augment their capabilities with personnel, equipment, and
supplies relocated from hazard areas. Hospitals in evacuation areas will be required to
discharge certain patients and be prepared to receive and care for patients arriving from
hazard areas, and all hospital staffs should be prepared to work 12-hour shifts. These staffs
will be augmented by relocated professional medical personnel.
Crisis relocation operations will be conducted in the following phases:
Alert (Mobilization) Phase
In response to the alert to prepare for crisis relocation, all personnel associated with the
Disaster Medical Care Organization at the various levels should be mobilized and assigned
emergency missions. Necessary actions will be taken to discharge hospital patients whose
D-31
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
conditions permit such action to move patients from hazard to reception areas, and to staff .
all medical facilities accordingly. Reception areas will make preparations to receive
persons being relocated from hazard areas.
Movement Phase
During this phase, required augmentation support will be dispatched from hazard to
reception areas.
Sustaining Phase
Once evacuees have been registered and assigned to lodging, feeding, and fallout shelter
facilities, and patients from hazard areas have been moved to medical facilities in
evacuation areas, the demands for medical resources will be altered considerably.
One or more Medical Aid Stations will be needed in evacuation areas and at each
Reception and Care Center. One physician and two nurses should be on duty at all times
at each Lodging Section. In sections with large populations, additional Aid Stations may
be established as required. Ambulance and paramedic services in evacuation areas will be
augmented by support from the hazard areas.
In the partially vacated hazard areas, the demands for medical services will be substantially
reduced. However, a minimum level of service must be maintained to support essential
workers and other persons.
.
Attack Operations
If an attack warning is received, all service providers will take shelter in designated
facilities and provide services to the sheltered population as available resources and
conditions permit.

MEDICAL SERVICES IN EVACUATION AREAS
DURING NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES
If evacuation is ordered during a nuclear emergency, it will be necessary to expand medical
services in evacuation areas. A tiered system of providing such services is one effective means.
Tier I
The first tier in the medical care delivery system will consist of first aid units, supervised by
infIrmaries. Essentially, the first aid units will act as a screen to prevent the overuse of the
infirmaries. The units will be responsible for servicing the medical needs of the general
population who are afflicted with:
o Minor injuries.
o
Illnesses needing limited medical attention/treatment.
.
o Emergency conditions requiring quick transportation to a hospital or infirmary.
Depending on the medical needs that arise, the first aid units may be either mobile or stationary.
Each infirmary should decide whether mobile or stationary units are most practical for its area.
In most cases, some combination of mobile and stationary units will be desired. Some general
criteria for first aid unit organization are set out below:
o One unit should be available for every 1,000 persons.
o Each unit should be composed of six nurses.
o All units should operate on a 24-hour basis, with the staff scheduled for 12-hour
shifts.
o Staff members should report to the infirmaries before their shift begins.
o Supplies should be distributed to the nursing staff when they report for duty.
o
Each staff team should have at least one driver and one vehicle to handle emergency
transportation.
..
D-34
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
.
Records will not be required at this level of health care. Each unit, however, should be
responsible for ordering all the supplies it needs for each day.
Tier 2
The second tier of medical care will consist of infirmary facilities. These infirmaries would be
responsible for the treatment of the most critical conditions. They will function as clinics for the
seriously ill and as dispatchers for the second tier of medical care.
Each Reception and Care (R&C) Center should have an infirmary within its area of
responsibility. Its size will be dependent on the total post-evacuation population of the area. The
staff of the R&C Center should determine the number of people within its area after evacuation.
The following guidelines for staffmg have been developed and should prove helpful in the
organization of infirmaries. An estimate of required staffing; provided below, has been
calculated based on an expected daily patient load of approximately 500 persons per 100,000
population in the infirmary area.

..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
The figures presented above may, of course, underestimate the actual case load. Increased
numbers of patients requiring medical aid may result from stress-induced complications brought
on by evacuation or from the outbreak of communicable diseases. If more staffing is needed,
licensed persons in the health field who are not being utilized can be drawn on.
.
Although every infirmary should establish a reception desk to greet patients and begin record
flow, each will be responsible for its own internal station organization. The records which are
begun by the receptionist are necessary and should be organized in an efficient and logical
manner. For each patient treated, the following information must be recorded:
o Infirmary address
o Patient name
o Facility address or number
o Predisaster address
o Physician referred to
o Diagnosis
o Treatment
o Signature of physician or nurse.
Based on the expected daily patient loads and staff observations of patient needs, the
requisitionary personnel should be able to process orders for specific medical supplies. A store
of pharmaceuticals should always be present in the infirmary facilities. Prescription
pharmaceuticals should be made available only through the infirmary stations.
.
Infirmary staffs are responsible for dispensing critical supplies and prescription drugs to the first
aid units of Tier 1.

Annex E
PUBLIC HEALTH OPERATIONS
E.I Introduction
This annex describes public health operations, assigns responsibilities, and provides suggested
actions and responses to public health problems associated with natural disasters, technological
incidents, and war emergencies.
E.2 Objectives
The overall objectives of disaster public health operations will be to:
o Provide preventive health services.
o Provide food handling and mass feeding sanitation service in emergency facilities.
o Inspect and advise on general sanitation matters.
o
Coordinate health-related activities among other local public and private response
agencIes or groups.
E.3 Concept of Operations
Disaster public health activities during peacetime and nuclear defense emergencies will usually be
associated with the periods and phases indicated below. Detailed operational concepts and
emergency response actions associated with various types of emergencies are provided in
Appendix E, Hazard Specific Responses.
E.3.1 Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOP) and checklists detailing the disposition of disaster public health
resources in an emergency. Such plans and procedures will provide for coordination and
communication channels with public and private agencies and organizations of other
jurisdictions. Resource listings will also be prepared and maintained current.
E-3
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Increased Readiness Phase
.
This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of a
flood which could impact the City of Dublin, or a rapidly deteriorating international situation
which could lead to a possible enemy attack upon the United States. Increased readiness
actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs and resource information, training
and assigning additional personnel, and taking other feasible measures. Available resources
will be mobilized.
E.3.2 Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre-Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during this phase would be precautionary and would be
centered around taking appropriate countermeasures to protect people should the City of
Dublin be impacted by an event such as a slow-rise flood situation, a health-endangering
hazardous material incident, or enemy attack.
Immediate Impact Phase
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrated on the well-being of people impacted .
by an event. Examples of such events are: a major earthquake, a flash flood, a large
explosion, a release of hazardous materials, or an enemy attack. Priority activities will be
concentrated on responding to potential or actual public health problems.
Sustained Emergency Phase
As early lifesaving and property-protecting actions continue, attention can be given to
other priority activities during this phase. This might require a concentration of efforts on
sanitation and vector control in and around established mass care facilities, and other
public health related activities.
E.3.3 Post-Emegency Period (Recovery)
Priorities during this period will be focused on continuing to provide essential public health
services and assisting in recovery operations.

MAJOR DISASTER PUBLIC HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
This enclosure outlines considerations which may be necessary following a major disaster to
ensure a level of sanitation adequate to prevent the spread of disease. Vectors and the main
diseases they spread are discussed so that they can be kept in check before their numbers become
hard to control.
1. Water Supply
If no restrictions have been placed on the supply of water, an estimate of 100 liters/person/day
for all uses of water except construction should be provided. A breakdown by facility can be
assessed as follows:
o First aid stations, 40-60 liters/person/day
o Mass feeding center, 20-30 liters/person/day
o Housing and shelter, 15-20 liters/person/day
Once the actual water requirements of an area have been estimated, sources to meet the needs
will have to be located. The municipal system, the private systems of industry and agriculture,
springs and wells, and surface waters are potential sources that might be tapped. If these sources
are determined to be insufficient to meet demands, rationing will have to be initiated.
.
While potable water from the sources already identified will be used first, methods of treatment
of nonpotable water should also be established. The following two methods are recommended:
(1) Disinfection - This method should be used on all water. It is accomplished by
Tincture ofIodine, chlorination or boiling.
(2) Coagulation - This method should be employed along with disinfection in the
treatment of surface waters, and is accomplished by chemical addition or chemical
filtration.
To make sure that water quality is maintained at a safe level for consumption, four tests of
quality should be performed, as follows:
(1) The residual chlorine test
(2) The coliform bacteria test
(3) The H-ion concentration test
(4) The type of alkilinity test
.
E-12
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Procedures for all these tests are found in Standard Methods of Water Quality, American Public
Health Association (APHA), 13th edition, New York, New York, 1971.
2. Waste Disposal
To accommodate the increased population in evacuation areas, human waste disposal units may
have to be built. Sanitarians should inspect and supervise the construction of these units for the
following three reasons: 1) these sites are fly-breeding areas, 2) the incidence of disease caused
by enteric and helminthic organisms could increase at these sites, and 3) soil or water might be
contaminated if the units are poorly constructed.
Four different types of excreta disposal units can be installed. They include 1) deep trench
latrines, 2) pet privies, 3) mobile latrines or chemical toilets, and 4) urinals or borehole latrines.
3. Solid Waste Disposal
Most solid waste will accrue" at the mass feeding facilities, with organic wastes being of
particular concern to public health officials. At all facilities, organic and inorganic wastes should
be collected and stored separately. Organic wastes will require heavier, washable watertight
containers with tight-fitting lids. When deciding upon types of containers and upon methods of
collection, the following should be considered:
o
F our containers will be needed per 100 people at mass feeding facilities.
o Containers should always be stored outside buildings.
o Plastic bags may be used for storage but only for short periods.
o Garbage collection from mass feeding centers should take place daily.
o Garbage trucks with a 10 cubic meter capacity, manned by one driver and two
helpers, can serve 6,000 people if three trips are made to the disposal area daily.
F our methods of disposal are presented; they will have to be expanded to take care of the
increased volume. The methods include sanitary landfills, burial, incineration, and open
dumping.
(1 ) Sanitary landfills - These are the best option. In the case of landfills, refuse should
be compacted, covered with earth, and then compacted again.
(2) Burial - This is the next best option. Like the sanitary landfill, it involves covering
the refuse at the end of the day.
E-13
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
(3) Incineration - This method can be used if the first two options are impractical or .
inadequate for the existing volume of garbage (pathogenic materials from hospitals
or infirmaries must be burned).
(4) Open dumping - This method is to be discouraged and will be allowed only in
extreme cases. Open dumping refuse should be hauled to the dump sites, burned,
and covered where possible to deter rodents and flies. Cans should be crushed
because they provide excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
4. Mass Feeding Services
Several aspects of the food delivery system will need supervision to prevent the spread of disease
and the spoilage or waste of food. Some of the most important aspects are:
o Quality control of incoming foods in order to detect spoilage or contamination.
o Quality control of water supplied to food preparation centers.
o Provision for proper storage and cooking of food.
o Provision for proper disposal of solid and liquid wastes.
o
Provision for proper washing and sanitizing of utensils.
.
o Supervision of food preparation and serving.
o Supervision of cleaning of all food handling and serving areas.
o Control of insects and rodents in food stores, kitchens, and eating areas.
o Management of personnel, including training, health checks, and assignment at
sanitary facilities.
Due to the increase of population in evacuation areas, feeding facilities will be in great demand.
Those facilities in existence will have to be used to their maximum capacity, and additional mass
feeding centers may even have to be created. Maintaining cleanliness and sanitation standards
will be of the utmost importance. All sections should be kept clean and disinfected and only
potable water should be used in the feeding centers. In addition to this, three separate basins
(one for personal use, one for the cleansing of cooking utensils and dishes, and one for the
washing of fruits and vegetables) should be set up. All sinks should be provided with detergents,
access to boiling water, and organic waste containers where grease and food scraps can be
deposited. Dishes should be immersed in boiling water for five minutes.
.
E-14
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Food handlers must practice good hygiene and be without boils, sores, or any communicable
disease. To ensure this, medical examinations should be conducted for all handlers. Food
handlers should also attend a brief training session which stresses personal cleanliness and which
emphasizes the washing of hands and the wearing of special garments for food service and
preparation. Food handlers should be instructed not to sneeze or cough near food.
With the exception of foods being used the same day, all foods should be kept in fly-proof
containers. If there is inadequate refrigeration, perishables must be brought to the center daily.
Raw vegetables or soft-skinned fruit should not be served at the centers.
5. Vectors
Control of vectors is particularly important. Although vectors are currently present in virtually
every environment, they can become a serious spreader of diseases under crowded, less sanitary
conditions. Common vectors that transmit disease through biting, skin infection, or food or
water pollution are listed in the table below:
Vector
Main Diseases
Cockroaches
diarrhea, dysentery, salmonellosis
Cone-nosed bugs
Chagas' disease
Bedbugs
severe skin inflammation
Houseflies
conjunctivitis, diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid fever
Lice
skin irritation, pediculosis, endemic typhus, relapsing fever,
trench fever
Mosquitoes
malaria, yellow fever, dengue, dilariasis, viral encephalitis
Ticks
rickettsial fever, tularemia, relapsing fever, viral encephalitis
Rodents
salmonellosis, rat bite fever, leptospirosis, melidosis
Rodent fleas
endemic typhus, bubonic plague
Rodent mites
richettsial pox, scrup typhus
Mapping rodent harborages will help determine the extent and location of infestations. It is also
useful in estimating the probability of disease, the possibility of people being bitten, and the
E-15
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
possibility of property or food being damaged. Mapping is one preventive measure that allows .
sanitarians to begin control measures before disease outbreak occurs.
If allowed to flourish, mosquitoes can also create health problems. They are often found near
water supplies and in tin cans that have been discarded. Examples of fly-breeding areas which
should be mapped are disposal sites, surface toilets, and dumps. It should be noted that
temperatures greater than 2000 C are conducive to rapid population increases of flies.
Strategies for rodent control will vary, depending upon whether or not the danger of disease is
imminent. If disease is probable, rat runs should be dusted with a rodenticide that eliminates
ectoparasites. The dusting should be extended to other areas where rats are found and mass
poisonings at dumps and harborages should be conducted. Where no present danger of disease
exists, sections where rat control is needed should be mapped. Crews and equipment for dusting
and poisoning should be prepared so that rat populations can be kept in check. Rats should be
deprived of food by intensifying its rapid storage and disposal, by increasing garbage collections,
and by ensuring adequate waste burial.
Flies may be controlled by applying chemicals in resting and breeding areas, by ensuring
sanitation through the proper disposal of organic wastes, and by making use of such mechanical
means as screening, etc. Cockroaches and ants will be kept in control primarily by cleanliness,
although chemical dusting of shelves, garbage cans, and latrines will help. Individuals infested
with lice, fleas, or mites should be dusted weekly with insecticides, inside and outside of
clothing, in the hair, and in their living quarters.
.
It should be noted at this point that precautions should always be used in the handling of
pesticides, especially where people will be directly exposed. Supervision by sanitarians or other
qualified personnel is essential.
6. Disinfection
For those who have been exposed to contagious diseases that are life threatening, it is imperative
to destroy germs, insects, larvae, and eggs. Special facilities will be designated where showers
and laundry sections offer complete disinfection. Steam or a 5% formaldehyde solution can be
used to disinfect clothing.

PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY ACTION CHECKLIST
RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES
Public health operations during nuclear emergencies will be governed by the following essential
actions relating to increased readiness, in-place sheltering, and attack operations (with or without
warning). Detailed actions are provided in the Emergency Action Checklist, which is included as a
part of this Appendix.
Increased Readiness Operations
Should a threatening international crisis develop, all health service providers will be
mobilized and a Disaster Public Health Organization will be established. This organization
will require participation by a large number of public and private agencies and individuals
that normally operate independently. During a worsening crisis, measures to increase
readiness and capability for in-place sheltering, and attack operations will be undertaken by
all elements of the organization. This will include reviewing and updating plans and
resource information, alerting personnel, training and assigning additional personnel,
ensuring that facilities and equipment are in a state of readiness, and other measures to
increase capabilities to accomplish emergency missions.
Crisis Relocation Operations
If crisis relocation is ordered, the large number of persons moving into evacuation areas will
substantially increase the demand for health resources. All elements in evacuation areas will
be required to augment their capabilities with personnel, equipment, and supplies evacuated
from the hazard areas.
Crisis relocation operations will be conducted in the following phases:
Alert (Mobilization) Phase
In response to the alert to prepare for crisis relocation, all personnel associated with the
Disaster Public Health Organization at the various levels should be mobilized and
assigned emergency missions. Reception aeas wil make preparations to receive
persons being relocated from hazard areas.
Movement Phase
During this phase, required augmentation support will be dispatched from hazard to
reception areas.
E-25
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Sustaining Phase .
Once evacuees have been registered and assigned to lodging, feeding, and shelter
facilities thedemands for health resources will be altered considerably.
Because the evacuated population will generate an increased amount of garbage and
refuse which could provide a breeding ground for disease carrying insects and
rodents, there will be a need to increase the frequency of refuse collection in
reception areas. Public health and environmental sanitation personnel will need to
concentrate their efforts on sanitation and vector control in and around lodging and
food service facilities.
In the partially vacated hazard areas, the demands for health services will be
substantially reduced. However, a minimum level of service must be maintained to
support essential workers and other persons.
Attack Operations
If an attack warning is received, all service providers will take shelter in designated
facilities and provide services to the sheltered population as available resources and
conditions permit.

Annex F
CORONER OPERATIONS
F.1 Introduction
This annex establishes Policies and Procedures for the collection, identification, and disposition
of dead persons during extraordinary emergencies, particularly following major natural disasters,
technological incidents, or war.
F.2 Objectives
The overall objectives of coroner operations will be to:
o Identify human remains and provide adequate care (storage, posthumous
examination, etc.) as required by law.
o Determine the cause and manner of death.
o
Inventory and protect personal effects.
o Locate and notify next of kin.
F.3 Concept of Operations
Coroner activities during peacetime and war emergencies will usually be associated with the
periods and phases indicated below. Detailed operational concepts and emergency response
actions associated with various types of emergencies are provided in Appendix F,
Hazard-Specific Responses.
F.3.1 Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOP), and checklists associated with the collection, identification,
and disposal of a large number of dead persons resulting from a disaster. Resource listings
(body bags, temporary morgues, etc.) will also be prepared and maintained current.
Deputy Coroners should also be identified and be provided any additional training.
F- 3
..,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Increased Readiness Phase
.
This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of
a flood which could impact the jurisdiction, or a rapidly deteriorating international
situation which could lead to a possible enemy attack upon the United States. Increased
readiness actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs and resource
information, accelerating training, inspecting temporary morgue facilities, and taking other
feasible measures.
F.3.2 Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre-Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during this phase would be precautionary and would be
centered around taking appropriate countermeasures to protect people should the
jurisdiction be impacted by an event such as a slow-rise flood situation, a
health-endangering hazardous material incident, or enemy attack. Personnel assigned
coroner duties will be prepared to collect and identify any dead persons resulting from the
impact.
.
Immediate Impact Phase
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrated on the areas impacted by an event.
Examples of such events are: a major earthquake, a flash flood, a large explosion, a release
of hazardous materials, or an enemy attack. Priority activities will be concentrated on the
collection, identification, and disposition of dead persons.
Sustained Emergency Phase
During this phase, continued emphasis will be placed on completing any identification and
disposition activities.
F.3.3 Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
Priorities during this period will be focused on the continued provision of essential coroner
servIces.
F.4 Organization and Responsibilities
FA.1 Local
.
F- 4
.

.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
To enhance response to and coordination with the local emergency management staffs of each
city in the county, the City of Dublin has appointed the Chief of Police, who is a deputy coroner,
to be the local coordinator of coroner's duties should the Countywide Coroner not be available.
This local emergency management staff member will be responsible for maintaining
communications with the Countywide Coroner. City needs will be relayed between local and
county coordinators.
F.4.2 Operational Area
County Coroners/Medical Examiners
The Alameda County Coroners/Medical Examiners have statutory responsibility and
authority, under the State Health and Safety Code, for identifying dead persons and human
tissue; determining and recording the cause, circumstances, and manner of death; and
disposing of unclaimed and/or indigent deceased persons. When disasters result in large
numbers of deceased persons, Coroners will normally be responsible for:
o Coordinating local resources utilized for the collection, identification, and
disposition of deceased persons and human tissue.
o Selecting an adequate number of qualified personnel to staff temporary morgue sites.
o
Establishing collection points to facilitate recovery operations.
o Coordinating with search and rescue teams.
o Designating an adequate number of persons to perform the duties of Deputy
Coroners.
o Identifying mass burial sites.
o Protecting the property and personal effects of the deceased.
o Notifying relatives.
o Establishing and maintaining a comprehensive recordkeeping system for continuous
updating and recording of fatality numbers.
o
Submitting requests for mutual aid assistance, if required, in accordance with the
Coroners Mutual Aid System.
Coordinating services of: funeral directors, ambulances, and morticians; the
American Red Cross for location and notification of relatives; dentists and x-ray
technicians for purposes of identification; law enforcement agencies for security,
property protection, and evidence collection; and mutual aid provision to other

The Office of Emergency Services (OES) Regional Coroners Mutual Aid Coordinator
(designated by the California State Coroners Association) receives and responds to requests from .
County Coroners/Medical Examiners for mutual aid assistance from other jurisdictions and/or
private sources. Should a present or anticipated emergency be of such a magnitude as to require
the commitment of the resources of one or more counties, it is the responsibility of the Regional
Coroners Mutual Aid Coordinator to organize and coordinate the dispatch of resources within the
Region to the emergency area. The Regional Coroners Mutual Aid Coordinator shall advise
appropriate officials at State OES of the situation; If the Region's resources are overtaxed, the
Regional Coroners Mutual Aid Coordinator will request assistance from the state level.

F.5 Policies and Procedures
F.5.1 Emergency Responses
Level I
If the Coroner's Office is equipped to handle the number of dead resulting from a
disaster, the normal routine of examining, performing autopsies, fingerprinting,
identifying, photographing and recording personal property of the deceased may be
undertaken. If the number of fatalities overtax the Coroner's Office, then a
temporary staging or collection area can be manned by funeral directors in the area.
Level II
The normal functioning of the Coroner's Central Morgue is likely to be disrupted.
To facilitate the process of carrying out normal procedures, the establishment of
F- 7
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
multiple staging areas or morgue sites may be necessary. Collection areas in
districts may be manned by Coroner's Staff, funeral directors, and volunteers. These
personnel may handle the operational details of the Coroner's facility for their
district. It will also be necessary to establish fatality collection areas for persons
who die while in the hospital or enroute to treatment areas. To avoid additional
trauma to surviving victims, it will be important to establish the fatality collection
areas away from hospitals or treatment facilities.
.
Level III
Due to the anticipated number of fatalities, identification of the deceased can be
expected to pose a significant problem. This problem may not be immediately
resolved; therefore, storage facilities for an extended period, or mass burial, may be
necessary .
It will be imperative to have the bodies and possessions tagged and labeled as to the
location found, as well as recording any other vital information that may lead to a
future identification. Embalming of the bodies may be necessary for preservation as
well as disease prevention. X-rays and dental charts may be used for making an
identification.
It is conceivable that some bodies will not be identifiable before burial. Therefore, it
is imperative that records be kept of grave sites, (unidentified person) numbers, case
numbers and burial orders. Each body should have attached to it a tag, preferably
metal or plastic, which contains the identification information.
.
F.5.2 Communications
Deputy Coroners in the field shall establish, as soon as possible, communication with the
Coroner and with other agencies at the disaster site or within the area, possibly through the law
enforcement communications system. (Telephone communications, in many disaster situations,
have been demonstrated to be potentially vulnerable to damage and extremely high usage by the
public. Radio-based systems not requiring commercial power exhibit the highest degree of
reliability. )
F.5.3 Fatality Collection Areas (FCAs)
Should the number of dead exceed the resources of the Coroner's Office, the Coroner will
organize and operate a FCA at the disaster site. The facilities, located as near as possible to areas
with heavy death toll, should have, if feasible, showers, hot and cold water, electricity, parking
areas, and communications. They should be fenced or locked for the security of bodies and
personal property, be removed from public view and have sufficient space. Facilities of potential .
use are existing mortuaries, cemeteries, National Guard Armories, etc. Once FCAs are
established, the Coroner's Organization should obtain refrigerated trailers as deemed necessary.
The trailers can be moved to whatever location designated by the Coroner. If refrigerated trailers
F- 8
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
are not available, the Coroner's Office can arrange for railroad refrigeration cars or ocean
container vans to aid in the preservation of bodies.
The functions to be performed at the FCAs are:
o Receive the dead brought in from the disaster area.
o Identify the dead, record the identification, or collect and record evidence that may
lead to later identification of the bodies that may have to be buried in an unidentified
state.
o Receive, label, and impound property of the dead. Use the property as necessary in
identification of the dead, and hold the property for the next of kin or the Public
Administrator.
o Keep records of names and numbers of dead. It is essential to maintain a
postmortem board containing all known information regarding all remains or parts
of remains which may be identifiable.
o
Receive telephone inquiries from or solicit relatives and friends of the dead or
missing persons to assist in the identification. This function may be handled by
American Red Cross personnel or volunteers who have been trained to provide relief
for survivors in times of disaster. Members ofthe clergy within an area may provide
assistance in dealing with relatives and friends, as well as assisting in notification of
death.
o File and record emergency death certificates.
o Photograph, x-ray and chart teeth, determine the cause of death.
o Embalm bodies for preservation and disease prevention.
o Release bodies to mortuaries or a transportation service for transport to burial sites.
o Obtain all the necessary equipment, supplies, and personnel to accomplish these
tasks.
F.5.4 Locating, Retrieving and Tagging of Bodies at the Disaster Site
Personnel from the Coroner's Office, with the aid of other disaster team members, will aid in the
recovery and identification process, as follows:
o
Security arrangements at the disaster site must be made. Admission to the disaster
area should be restricted to only authorized personnel, equipment, and supplies.
F- 9
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
A method of indicating the location of bodies at the disaster site may be needed. A
format whereby the disaster site is marked off in grids and each is designated in
alphabetical sequence has been found to be effective. Bodies within each grid are
designated in sequence and prefixed with prearranged letters and numbers.
Locations within the grid are fixed by street numbers, streets, intersections, etc.
.
o Parts of bodies are identified and tagged using these numbers as the prefix, followed
by the designation "P" for part. Parts will not be assigned to bodies at the scene.
o If time, security, and safety allow, photographs of bodies, body parts, and property
will be taken at the scene.
o Bodies should not be searched or identified at the scene.
o Bodies will be removed from debris, tagged, put into body bags or wrapped in
plastic sheeting, and readied for transport to the FCA.
o Personal property will be tagged and sent with the body.
o Property and clothing not actually on a body will not be assigned to a body.
F.5.5 Transport of Bodies to Fatality Collection Areas
.
Transportation of bodies from disaster sites to FCAs will be coordinated by the Alameda County
Coroner/Medical Examiners in conjunction with Transportation Coordinators (when required).
Transportation sources could include coroners vehicles, vehicles supplied from local mortuaries,
or other sources.
F .5.6 Mass Burial
Mass burial may become necessary when the number of victims become a public health hazard
and the dead cannot be:
o Adequately refrigerated or embalmed to prevent decomposition.
o Processed and identified.
o Released to the next of kin.
o Transported to and/or cared for by cemeteries, mausoleums, crematoriums, etc.
The decision to begin mass burial must be made by the Alameda County Coroner and County
Health Officer in conjunction with the State Department of Health Services. Coordination .
should also be achieved with State OES, the County Emergency Services Office, and the various
city officials and religious leaders within the community.
F- 10
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
The site of mass burial must also be agreed upon by the above agencies, taking into consideration
the number and location of dead to be buried. Ideally, an existing cemetery would be the most
logical location of mass burial. However, that may not be possible because of the numbers to be
buried and the area available, its proximity to the disaster site, and the damage the cemetery
received during the disaster.
The next consideration should be given to federal- state- county or city-owned property or
right-of-way, such as:
o Parks and recreational areas.
o Flood control basins (weather permitting).
o Sides of freeways and river beds.
o Areas beneath high power lines.
o Rail yards and areas along rail lines.
The final consideration should be given to privately owned property (except cemeteries),
preferably large open fields such as are found in industrial or agricultural areas, etc. Access and
egress are also important factors along with the type of terrain and the need to facilitate later
exhumations. These exhumations will be ordered to attempt to identify unknown bodies and for
the reinterment of those identified by the next of kin in the cemetery of their choice. Bodies
remaining unidentified must still be reinterred in a designated cemetery.
Those bodies designated for mass burial should be processed to ensure that:
o Body has been rechecked for any type of jewelry or other item that may assist in
identification.
o Postmortem information has been properly documented, especially scars, tattoos,
deformities, and other physical descriptions.
o Fingerprints have been taken, if not, fingers should be rechecked and prints taken if
possible.
o Mandible and maxillary have been removed and placed into a properly marked
container.
o An additional body tag has been attached, properly filled out and placed into a small,
sealed plastic bag.
o
If remains are not arterially embalmed, the body has been wrapped in celu-cotton or
other absorbent material.
Embalming fluid (2 to 3 gallons cavity fluid or 10% formalin) has been poured over
remaIns.
o
o Body has been wrapped in plastic sheeting or disaster pouch and tied/zipped to
prevent leakage.
F- 11
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
A tag has been attached to the pouch containing the body.
o If possible, body has been placed in a wooden or metal container for burial; that
container has been marked (spray painted) with corresponding identification
numbers.
Exact location of each body buried must be recorded on grid maps including dates, times and
other information necessary for exhumations at a later time. Each burial site also must be marked
(staked) with the correct corresponding identification numbers.
F.5.7 Counseling Service
An information and/or counseling service staffed by American Red Cross workers, mental health
workers, clergy and others experienced in Coroner activities should be established for relatives
and friends of missing or deceased persons.
F.5.8 Mutual Aid
In accordance with the Coroners Mutual Aid System, local requests for mutual aid assistance will
be submitted to the appropriate Regional Coroners Mutual Aid Coordinator.

Annex G
CARE AND SHELTER OPERATIONS
G.l Introduction
This annex describes the organizational and operational policies and procedures required to meet
the food, clothing and shelter needs of people on a mass care basis during major natural disasters,
technological incidents, and war emergencies. It also cites authorities and specifies the public
and private organizations responsible for providing mass care and welfare inquiry services.
G.2 Objectives
The overall objectives of care and shelter operations are to:
o Provide food, clothing, shelter, and other basic necessities of life, on a mass care
basis, to persons unable to provide for themselves as a result of a disaster.
o
Provide an inquiry service to reunite separated families or respond to inquiries
from relatives and friends outside the affected areas.
o Assure an orderly transition from mass care, to separate family living, to
post-disaster recovery.
o Prepare for occupancy and operation of shelters in the event of an enemy attack.
o Organize and manage shelters during enemy attack.
G.3 American Red Cross
The American Red Cross, as mandated by Federal Law 36-USC-3 and reaffirmed in Public Law
93-288 (Federal Disaster Relief Act of1974), provides disaster relief in peacetime.
At the state level, the Statement of Operational Relationships between the American Red Cross
and California Office of Emergency Services (DES) and the Memorandum of Understanding
between the American Red Cross and the California Department of Social Services establish the
operating relationships between these agencies. The major care and shelter responsibilities of the
Red Cross in the emergency period are included in the Statement of Operational Relationships
and reiterated below.
Emergency mass care includes providing:
G-3
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
Emergency lodging for disaster victims in public or private buildings.
.
o Food and clothing for persons in emergency mass care facilities.
o Food for disaster workers if normal commercial feeding facilities are not
available.
o Registration and inquiry service.
The Red Cross acts cooperatively with state and local governments and other private relief
organizations to provide emergency mass care to persons affected by disasters in peacetime.
There is no legal mandate for Red Cross involvement in a State of War Emergency. However,
by decision of Chapter Boards of Directors, the Red Cross Chapter Disaster Committees in
California may, if incorporated into the civil defense (war emergency) plans of political
subdivisions, serve as a component of civil defense to assist with emergency mass care
operations.
GA Concept of operations
G.4.1 General
Care and shelter operations during peacetime and war emergencies will usually be associated
with the periods and phases indicated below. Detailed operational concepts and emergency
response actions associated with the various types of emergencies are provided in Appendix G,
Hazard-Specific Responses.
.
GA. 1. I Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOP), call-out lists of professional and volunteer personnel, and
resource lists. Plans and procedures will provide for coordination and communication
channels with counterpart agencies and organizations of other jurisdictions. Volunteers
will be trained, and disaster plans will be exercised.
Because the onset of some disasters can occur with little or no warning, possible sites for
shelter and mass feeding should be preselected, and listings should be included in Part
Three, Operational Data, of this Plan. Agreements should be concluded with appropriate
persons, such as managers or owners of hotels or restaurants. Arrangements and
agreements for provision of required resources and supplies should also be made in this .
period.
G-4
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Increased Readiness Phase
This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast
of a flood, or a rapidly deteriorating international situation that could lead to a possible
nuclear attack upon the United States. Increased readiness actions will include reviewing
and updating plans, SOPs, call-out and resource lists, and accelerating training. Available
resources will be mobilized and volunteers alerted.
GA.1.2Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre-Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during the pre-impact phase would be precautionary and
would be centered around taking appropriate counter- measures to protect people should
the jurisdiction be impacted by an event such as a slow-rising flood, a health-endangering
hazardous material incident, or war. If it is the type of disaster that requires mass care,
shelters and feeding facilities will be opened, manned, and supplied. The Local Care and
Shelter Coordinator, alternate or other designee, and a representative of the Red Cross
will report either to a 24-hour dispatch facility located in or immediately adjacent to the
affected area or to the local Emergency Operating Center (EOC) if it has been activated.
Detailed information on shelter and feeding facilities will be disseminated to the public
through the City of Dublin's Public Information Officer (PIO).
Immediate Impact Phase
If there has been ample warning, shelter, feeding, and other care services will have begun
outside the threatened area. However, should an area that was perceived to be safe be
impacted, some evacuees may have to be transported to another lodging facility, and
feeding operations may have to be transferred to another site.
If the disaster occurs without warning, local officials and the Local Care and Shelter
Coordinator, in conjunction with the Red Cross, need to assess the requirements for
shelter and mass feeding. They must also determine which of the preselected facilities
may have become inaccessible, damaged, or destroyed, and which are still available for
mass care. As normal communications facilities may not be functioning, other means
(such as amateur radio operators or person-to-person contact) may have to be used to
communicate with shelter managers and other mass care personnel. Most emergency
personnel, however, will be expected to report to preassigned duty stations. Obtaining
appropriate supplies and resources and distributing them to the specified sites may require
improvising solutions and deviating somewhat from the original plan. In the case of a
major disaster, shelter may be required outside the local area and provided through
G-5
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
mutual aid channels. In addition, temporary feeding services may be requested to be .
provided by state agencies and the military.
Sustained Emergency Phase
In the Sustained Emergency Phase, it may be possible for some displaced persons to be
moved to improved quarters, such as hotels, or even to return to their homes. However,
shelter, mass feeding, and welfare inquiry services will continue until they are no longer
required.
GA.1.3Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
In the Post-Emergency Period, most of the basic needs of the population will have been
provided, and, if the disaster was large, the federal and state governments will have become
heavily involved in providing financial aid to victims. Disaster Assistance Centers (DACs) will
be set up to coordinate the delivery of these services. Local officials and private agencies still
have responsibility for phasing out the mass care facilities and assisting displaced persons in
obtaining temporary housing and other aid.
GA.2 Peacetime Emergencies
.
Peacetime emergency operations differ from possible war emergencies in that the level of
magnitude of even a catastrophic disaster (Level III) would be much less than in a war
emergency. In almost all peacetime disasters, the Red Cross will provide the bulk, if not all, of
the mass care services, and schools and churches will fulfill the need for shelter. Usually,
persons will be able to evacuate in their private automobiles, so that transportation would be
available between the shelters and one or more central feeding facilities. Also, since the majority
of evacuees in peacetime disasters choose to stay with relatives, friends, or in hotels or motels,
the percentage of persons going to public shelter will vary from next to nothing up to possibly 25
percent.
GA.3 Nuclear Emergencies
If nuclear attack is thought likely, it is expected provisions will be made for many persons in the
state to be lodged in mass care facilities of either a public or private nature. The concept is that
persons will move to shelter if there is an attack warning. In actuality, most lodging facilities
must be upgraded to provide protection. In war emergencies, the Red Cross does not have a
mandate to participate in providing care and shelter. However, at the local level, the Red Cross
may be incorporated into the Local Emergency Management Organization and may assist in
providing such services.
.
G-6
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Because of the magnitude of the care and shelter task in war emergencies, the Local Care and
Shelter Organization will be somewhat different from, more complex than, and greatly expanded
over its peacetime counterpart. The limited number of persons in local areas with relevant skills
must be greatly augmented by others including many individuals who have been displaced by the
emergency situation. Consequently, during war emergencies, State and County Social
ServiceslW elfare Departments, the American Red Cross, and other service organizations must
provide the nucleus of a Care and Shelter Organization. This nucleus will be augmented by
evacuated personnel with relevant skills, and evacuation area organizations and residents not
otherwise involved in essential activities and functions.
G.5 Organization and Responsibilities
Table G-l below gives an overview of the statewide care and shelter organization down to the
Care and Shelter Coordinator for the City of Dublin and shows the source of management
personnel for both peacetime and war emergencies. The responsibilities of Care and Shelter
Coordinators at the Local, Operational Area, and Mutual Aid Region levels, the State Care and
Shelter Director, supporting state agencies, and the private sector are discussed below.

MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
G.5.1 Local
.
The City of Dublin's Parks and Community Services Director is the City's Care and Shelter
Coordinator and will have overall responsibility for coordinating care and shelter operations
within the city's jurisdiction. The City of Dublin Care and Shelter Coordinator will contact the
Operational Area Care and Shelter Coordinator for requests. The Operational Area Coordinator
will submit requests for support to the Mutual Aid Region Care and Shelter Coordinator if the
Operational Area cannot support the city's mutual aid request.
G.5.2 Operational Area
The Alameda County Director of Social Services (or similar agency) is the Operational Area
Care and Shelter Coordinator and will have the overall responsibility for coordinating care and
shelter operations within the county. The Coordinator will submit requests for support to the
Mutual Aid Region Care and Shelter Coordinator.
G.5.3 Mutual Aid Region
The OES Mutual Aid Region Care and Shelter Coordinator (representative of the State
Department of Social Services) will coordinate care and shelter operations within the Region and
will submit requests for support to the State Director of Care and Shelter.
.
G.5.4 State
The Director of the State Department of Social Services will serve as the State Director of Care
and Shelter and will have the overall responsibility for coordinating statewide care and shelter
operations and support requirements.
The Department of Social Services is responsible for:
o Serving as the lead agency in coordinating state agency care and shelter response
to support local operations.
o Providing departmental personnel and other resources to function in Disaster
Assistance Centers upon request of the Director ofOES.
o Coordinating the capabilities of County Social Services Departments (or similar
agencies) to respond to the disaster.
The following discussion cites other state agencies with varied capabilities and responsibilities
for providing support to such operations. All support will be dependent upon availability and, in

some instances, the proximity of the supporting agency's facilities to a given jurisdiction or
jurisdictions.
Five state agencies have facilities where they can provide lodging or food or both in disaster
situations. These agencies are:
o California Maritime Academy (Vallejo).
o Department of Corrections.
o Department of Parks and Recreation.
o Department of Rehabilitation.
o Department of Youth Authority.
Two state departments have the capability of providing feeding equipment and prepared food to
locations throughout the state. They are:
o Department of Forestry.
o Military Department (California National Guard).
Upon request, information to support the identification and location of persons by the Welfare
Inquiry Services will be provided by:
.
o
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Assistance with welfare inquiry and arrangement for food to be delivered in the affected areas
can be provided by:
o Department of Aging.
G.5.5 Federal
Federal support for care and shelter operations will be provided by those federal agencies, such
as the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Defense, whose statutory
responsibilities include disaster response prior to a Presidential Declaration. Additional
assistance following a Presidential Declaration will be coordinated by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
G.5.6 Business and Industry
Business and industry with personnel and resources needed to meet emergency requirements will
be identified and utilized by local emergency organizations. In the case of care and shelter,
voluntary agreements may be made with hotel, motel, or restaurant owners to use their personnel
and facilities.
. G.6 Policies and Procedures
G-9
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
G.6.1 Mutual Aid
.
If City of Dublin resources (both public and private) are inadequate to cope with the situation,
support will be requested through the Alameda County Operational Area. If the Operational
Area resources are inadequate, support will be requested through the appropriate OES Mutual
Aid Regional Office. If the requirement cannot be met through resources available within the
counties in the region, the Regional Office will request assistance from the State OES in
Sacramento. State OES will then forward the request to the State Department of Social Services
for final action.
G.6.2 Registration and Inquiry Operations
In peacetime, the Red Cross has responsibility for Registration and Inquiry (Disaster Welfare
Inquiry) operations. The Red Cross has trained Disaster Welfare Inquiry cadres, a system to
recruit volunteer workers, and a tested program to handle mass inquiries. During most disasters,
a Registration and Inquiry Center is established in the Red Cross Chapter office located near the
disaster or in an office nearby. However, in large-scale disasters where the Red Cross has
established a Headquarters for Disaster Operations, the Center will be located there or nearby. In
the event of a war emergency, Registration and Information Coordinators in Reception and Care
Centers have responsibility for registration as indicated in Appendix G, Response to Nuclear
Emergencies.
There is often a delay between the onset of a disaster, the time that a Registration and Inquiry .
Center can be set up and staffed, and the time that it takes to identify residences that may have
been damaged or destroyed. A temporary moratorium on inquiries may be declared until the
system becomes operational.
Communications are established between the Center and shelters, hospitals, and coroners. offices
or morgues. Registration lists and location changes are sent to the Center daily, if possible, or
more often if practical and necessary. Most inquiry and response information is sent by
teletypewriter exchange (TWX) in order to provide a written record of the communications.
Although every effort is made to locate all victims, some persons whose homes may have been
damaged will evacuate but not register. For this reason, records will seldom, if ever be complete.
Public information broadcasts advising people to register and to notify relatives of their location,
however, will assist inquiry operations.
G.6.3 Lodging Operations
o In large disasters, all suitable buildings, other than those being used for other
emergency functions, may be used for lodging.
.
G-10
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
Schools are the most preferred facilities for lodging, as they are public facilities
and can accommodate a large number of persons. Churches are also appropriate,
as they are often large and often have feeding facilities on the premises.
o Arrangements should be made in advance with owners or managers of many
facilities-- for use in large disasters and after small disasters that require a number
of different sites. Arrangements should also be made during a disaster, if
possible, for backup shelter should the threat change location (for example, a wind
shift after a hazardous material spill).
o In large disasters, commercial lodging facilities such as motels and hotels should
be reserved for the infIrm who require above average comforts and conveniences.
o It is imperative that the list of lodging facilities be kept up-to-date.
o When possible, most of the lodging operations will be performed by personnel
normally associated with the" facility. In large disasters, the evacuees themselves,
under the supervision of the facility manager, are expected to assist with many, if
not most, of the operations.
o
Pets will not be allowed in lodging facilities but will be cared for in animal
shelters or veterinarians' facilities.
o Only minimal health needs will be attended to in lodging facilities. If possible,
sick persons will be transferred to medical facilities.
G.6.4 Feeding Operations
o In peacetime emergencies, plans will be made for mobile feeding, to include
feeding at the scene of the disaster; providing refreshment services at hospital
waiting rooms, morgues, and places where disaster victims and emergency
workers congregate; and delivering food to persons in isolated areas.
o In most disasters, it is expected that a central facility will be set up for mass
feeding and that most of the feeding operations will be performed by personnel
associated with that facility. Where possible, the owners or managers of feeding
establishments will manage the mass feeding operations.
o Mass feeding schedules will be provided to Lodging Facility Managers.
o Special diets will be provided as required.
o
Arrangements will be made with 24-hour restaurants and fast food outlets to
provide supplies of food initially, until mass feeding operations can be organized.
G-ll
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
o
Government-provided food will be obtained, if possible, and food supplies
donated in bulk should be used to the extent possible.
G.6.5 Fallout Shelter Operations
o Where possible, and if lodging facilities have been designated for use as shelters,
Lodging Facility Managers will also function as Shelter Managers.
o Persons assigned to lodging facilities will constitute the basic labor force for
shelter upgrading operations.
o Law enforcement personnel will maintain peace and order at feeding facilities,
and fire personnel will perform fire safety inspection and surveillance of the
feeding facilities.
o Operational control of emergency service personnel (fire, law, etc.) assigned to
shelters will remain with their respective Local Coordinators.
o Reception and Care Centers will function as Shelter Complex Headquarters after
movement to shelters has been accomplished.
o
Contact will be maintained with the local EOC, which will serve as the source of
emergency information and guidance. If communications to the EOC have been
severed, the Emergency Broadcast System will be constantly monitored.

MOVEMENT OPERATIONS
H.1 Introduction
This annex provides policies and procedures for the evacuation, dispersal, or evacuation of persons
from threatened or hazardous areas to less threatened areas during natural disasters, technological
incidents, and war emergencies. It also describes the organization and responsibilities for
conducting movement operations.
H.2 Objectives
The overall objectives of emergency movement operations are to:
o Expedite the movement of persons from hazardous areas.
o Control evacuation traffic.
o
Provide adequate means of transportation for disabled persons, the elderly, and
persons without vehicles.
o Institute access control measures to prevent unauthorized persons from entering
vacated, or partially vacated, areas.
o Provide for the procurement, allocation, and use of necessary transportation
resources and law enforcement resources by means of mutual aid or other
agreements.
H.3 Concept of Operations
H.3.1 General
Movement operations during peacetime and nuclear war emergencies will usually be associated
with the periods and phases indicated below. Detailed operational concepts and emergency
response actions associated with the various types of emergencies are provided in Appendix H,
Hazard-Specific Responses.
H.3.1.1 Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
H-3
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Normal Preparedness Phase .
During this phase, site-specific movement plans will be prepared and maintained for
identified potentially hazardous areas. Data will be collected for use in directing movement
operations, such as information about population, special facilities, transportation resources,
and population requiring transportation assistance. For general movement purposes, it will
be useful to have data available for small sub-areas of the jurisdiction. Exercises and
meetings should be conducted to facilitate coordination between staff personnel.
Increased Readiness Phase
During this phase, orientation sessions will be held to brief appropriate officials regarding
movement plans. To the extent possible, Traffic Control Posts (TCP), assembly points, and
movement routes will be reconfirmed. Emergency Public Information (EPI) material and
transportation resource lists will be updated. Agreements with providers of transportation
resources will be reviewed and reconfirmed.
H.3.1.2Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre-Impact Phase
During this phase, movement operations will become the highest priority if a decision is
made to evacuate a threatened area. The area to be evacuated will be determined based on
pre-identified hazard areas or by estimates of the threatened area made at the time.
Projections of the threatened area may change as conditions change, thus changing the
evacuation strategy. For some hazards, uncertainty regarding the potential impact may
require the evacuation of a larger area than is eventually affected by the hazard.
.
Immediate Impact Phase
Remedial movement may be required due to conditions created by the impact of the disaster
agent or event. The affected area will be determined from reports by field teams on actual
hazard conditions. The selection of movement routes will require information on the
condition of the road network. Movement operations may be hindered by the effects of the
event and by other high priority demands for personnel and resources. Special procedures
may be required to limit exposure if the area has been contaminated.
Sustained Emergency Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on providing security and access control of the
evacuated areas, and accomplishing additional remedial movement, as required.
.
H-4
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
. H.3.1.3 Post Emergency Period (Recovery)
As soon as conditions permit, persons will be allowed to return to the evacuated areas. Traffic and
access controls will be continued as required to ensure the orderly and safe return of evacuees.
H.3.2 Peacetime Emergencies
Site-Specific Evacuation Plans
Site-specific evacuation plans, which have been developed for certain known hazards, are
included in Appendix H. These plans describe the potential impact area(s) for known
hazards, the number of people in the threatened area, and any special facilities affected.
They also include preplanned traffic and access control points, evacuation routes, warning
assignments, transportation requirements, evacuation assembly points, and predesignated
mass care facility locations. These plans will be used as guides for identifying the
threatened areas and evacuating the affected population.
.
If a decision is made to evacuate, the public will be warned by designated mobile units,
local radio and TV, and other predetermined means. Law enforcement and traffic control
personnel will be dispatched to designated traffic and access control points. Transportation
providers will be contacted to dispatch vehicles to designated evacuation assembly points.
Predesignated mass care facilities will be activated.
General Evacuation Procedures
An event may occur that requires an evacuation not covered by a site- specific evacuation
plan. For such an event, it will be necessary to determine the area to be evacuated and the
number of persons involved, based on information obtained at the time of the incident. The
best available means will be used to warn and instruct the public. Evacuations involving
only a small number of people can generally be handled without elaborate measures by
on-scene public safety personnel. Evacuations involving a larger number of people will
require the determination and establishment of traffic and access control points, evacuation
routes, and evacuation assembly points. Mass care facilities will be selected from the
available facilities listed in Part Three, Operational Data, considering the number of people
evacuated, safety of evacuation routes, and distance from the hazard area.
If the area to be evacuated is large, it may be necessary to divide it into sub-areas in order to
expedite and prioritize movement. Persons closest to the hazard would generally be warned
and evacuated first. The evacuation area would be expanded until all of the threatened
population is evacuated.
H.3.3 Nuclear Emergencies
.
H-5
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
During an international situation which poses a threat of war, all transportation and traffic control .
agencies will prepare for the possibility of in-place sheltering and evacuation. Agencies will review
and update plans, accelerate training, assure that equipment is maintained in a state of readiness,
alert personnel, and stockpile materials and equipment needed for evacuation. Transportation
resource requirements and their availabilities will be determined and arrangements made for their
use.
It is expected that local jurisdictions and state agencies will be alerted prior to a public
announcement of evacuation. All agencies responsible for implementing the plan will recall
off-duty personnel, mobilize reserves and auxiliaries, and assign emergency missions. Traffic
control personnel will be deployed to duty stations, and resources needed for traffic control will be
positioned. In low risk areas, preparations will be made to receive evacuees.
When evacuation is announced to the public, traffic controls will be instituted through hazard and
low risk areas as well as on designated movement routes. Evacuees arriving in a low risk area will
be directed off the movement routes to designated Reception and Care Centers. Evacuees who
have their own personal destination (i.e., homes of friends or relatives) will be accommodated to
the maximum extent possible, since this will lessen the burden placed on reception area facilities.
The primary mode of transportation will be by private auto. Bus, rail or air transportation will be
provided for persons requiring transportation.
Once evacuees have been registered and assigned to lodging, movement by private auto will be
curtailed. Movement operations will focus on transportation of critical resources and on the
commuting of essential workers between hazard and reception areas. Access controls will be
established to prevent unauthorized access to the hazard areas.
.
If an attack warning is received, local traffic control personnel will assist in directing people to
available fallout shelter. When the general population has completed movement to shelter or if an
attack occurs, all transportation and traffic control personnel will take shelter. When the post-attack
situation has been evaluated and conditions permit, transportation assistance will be provided for
remedial movement of people to better shelter or to less contaminated areas.
Detailed information relating to movement operations during nuclear defense emergencIes IS
provided in Appendix H.
H.4 Organization and Responsibilities
H.4.1 Local
The official responsible for population movement in the City of Dublin shall be the Chief of Police,
or his designee. He will be considered the Movement Coordinator within the City of Dublin. The
City of Dublin Movement Coordinator, who is a member of the Emergency Management Staff, will
be responsible for coordinating the movement of persons from hazardous areas to lower risk areas.
.

.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
The Movement Coordinator will be assisted by the Law Enforcement and Transportation
Coordinators.
Movement operations will be conducted by law enforcement agencies, highway/road/street
departments, and public and private transportation providers. Procurement, regulation, and
allocation of resources will be accomplished by the Local Transportation Coordinator.
The size of the City of Dublin's Movement Organization to be activated and the location from
which movement operations will be directed must be based on the size and complexity of the
evacuation effort. Organizations locally available to support movement operations are denoted in
Enclosure H-l, Supporting Organizations and Responsibilities.
Evacuations dealing with site-specific hazards may be conducted as a part of any established single
or multiple Incident Emergency Management System Organizations. Larger, area-wide
evacuations should be directed from the Jurisdictions EOC or from a 24-hour dispatch facility.
H.4.2 Operational Area
The Alameda County Sheriff, or a designee, will function as the Operational Area Movement
Coordinator. In large-scale evacuation operations, the Operational Area Law Enforcement
Coordinator is responsible for countywide traffic control operations and will be assisted by the
California Highway Patrol (CHP). The Operational Area Transportation Coordinator will be
responsible for coordinating transportation resources and operations on a countywide basis. These
Coordinators will function as the Operational Area Movement Operations Group. Requests for
support, and other relevant information, will be submitted to the Mutual Aid Region Movement
Operations Group.
H.4.3 Mutual Aid Region
A designated member of the CHP will function as the Office of Emergency Services (OES) Mutual
Aid Region Movement Coordinator. and will coordinate traffic control operations on a regionwide
basis. The Movement Coordinator will be assisted by a representative of the State Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) who will function as the Mutual Aid Region Transportation Coordinator.
These Coordinators will constitute the Mutual Aid Region Movement Operations Group. They will
refer requests for assistance from other regions, and other relevant information, to the State
Movement Operations Group.

H.5 Policies and Procedures
H.S.1 Warning the Public and Providing Movement Instructions
Once the decision to evacuate is made, the public will be alerted and given evacuation instructions
by various means, including school alert/monitor receivers, AM/FM radio announcements, TV
announcements, mobile loud speakers, hailers, and personal contact. Whenever feasible, mobile
units will be dispatched to the areas to be evacuated to warn the public. Special facilities will be
given warning by telephone, radio, or by direct contact by a mobile warning unit.
If an event has not occurred, but is imminent, warning and public information operations will take
place under extreme time pressure. General and site- specific warning messages and EPI material
prepared during the Pre-Emergency Period will be used to the extent possible to accelerate these
operations. Movement information provided to the public will include the following (for a
complete list of information to be provided to the public, see Annex A, Attachment A-6-B,
. Enclosure A-6):
o Why they must evacuate.
o Routes to take, including conditions of roads, bridges, and freeway overpasses.
o What to do if vehicle breaks down.
o The locations of assembly points for those without access to automobiles.
o Where to go for mass care until the emergency situation has passed.
Close coordination must be established with the news media to assist in providing timely
evacuation announcements to the public.
H.5.2 Identifying the Area and Population to be Evacuated
.
Site-specific plans which identify areas at risk for the known hazards which could threaten the
jurisdiction are included in Appendix H. These plans provide guidance for making decisions about
the area to be evacuated. For areas not covered by specific plans, expert opinion and data gathered
at the time of the threat will determine the hazard area. Additional data gathered during the
Pre-Emergency Period will provide information on the number of persons to be evacuated.
H-9
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Throughout the Emergency Period, it will be necessary to continuously reevaluate the size and .
location of the danger area and, if necessary, advise the evacuation of additional areas.
H.S.3 Identifying Evacuation Routes
The Movement Coordinator will select the best routes from the endangered area to mass care
facilities, considering the size of the population to be moved, road capacity and the roads which
could become impassable if the hazard event occurred. Evacuation routes relating to site-specific
plans are contained in Appendix H.
For areas not covered by site-specific plans, the best evacuation routes will have to be selected at
the time of the hazard event. As the emergency situation progresses, the Movement Coordinator
will request regular updates from law enforcement and other field personnel on the condition of the
road network and will adjust the selection of evacuation routes accordingly. Changes in evacuation
routes will be communicated to traffic control personnel, transportation resource coordinators,
access control personnel, Reception and Care Center Directors, and Public Information Officers.
H.S.4 Evacuating Special Facilities
Facilities which are expected to require special plans and resources to carry out evacuations include
hospitals, prisons, institutions for the handicapped or disabled, and nursing homes. All facilities of
this type within the area to be evacuated will be warned of the emergency situation. Site-specific
plans will identify the names, addresses, phone numbers, and contact persons for all of these
facilities located in predetermined hazard areas.
.<.
Some of the special facilities may have their own evacuation plans which include provisions for
procuring necessary transportation resources. Facilities without transportation resources will be
told to request assistance from the Transportation Coordinator.
H.S.S Providing Transportation Assistance
Some people will not have access to a motor vehicle, including households without motor vehicles,
persons who commute to work by public transit, or persons who are left at home without an
automobile while others are away. Some people with disabilities, infirmities, or illnesses may
require special transportation assistance. The number of persons requiring transportation assistance
will vary substantially from area to area and by time of day and day of week. Buses, vans,
ambulances, and other transport vehicles will be requested from transportation providers. Initial
requests will be based on estimates of the number of persons requiring assistance. Units will be
dispatched to public assembly points, special facilities, or to designated pickup routes. The public
will be told where to go to obtain transportation. A telephone number will be provided for persons
who require special assistance.
Evacuation assembly points, where persons requiring transportation will go to be picked up, will be
selected with consideration given to walking distance, accessibility for buses and safety of
.

MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
evacuees. The assembly points will generally be schools, public buildings, or other readily
identifiable points.
H.S.6 Controlling Traffic
Traffic controls will be established at key intersections and at access points to major evacuation
routes as needed to expedite the flow of traffic. In some cases it may be necessary to control traffic
on routes outside the hazard area to minimize conflicts with evacuation traffic.
For areas covered by site-specific plans, predesignated Traffic Control Points (TCPs) will be used,
with adjustments being made during the emergency, as necessary. For other areas, TCPs will be
selected at the time of the emergency, considering the amount of evacuation traffic expected and
the configuration of the road network. Communications will be maintained with traffic control
personnel to monitor the progress of the evacuation, to coordinate traffic controls, and to implement
any changes in evacuation strategy that may be required.
For a very large-scale evacuation in a nuclear emergency, highly complex and organized traffic
control plans and procedures described in Appendix H would be used.
H.S.7 Controlling Access to Hazard Area
As an area is being evacuated, access controls must be established. Controlling reentry both
protects the public from exposure and injuries and protects unattended property within the vacated
area.
Security of the vacated area will be obtained by establishing manned Access Control Posts and
barricades at key locations around the perimeter. Any unmanned barricades will be patrolled
periodically. Special entry passes will be issued at the manned control posts in accordance with
established policies. Policies and procedures for access control are provided in Annex C,
Enclosure C-2.

MOVEMENT
RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES
Movement operations during nuclear emergencies will be governed by the following essential
actions relating to increased readiness, in-place sheltering and attack operations (with or without
warning). Detailed actions are provided in the Emergency Action Checklist, which is included as a
part of this Appendix.
Increased Readiness operations
During an international situation which poses a threat of war, all transportation and traffic
control agencies will prepare for the possible implementation of in-place sheltering.
Agencies will review and update plans, accelerate training, assure that equipment is
maintained in a state of readiness, alert personnel, and stockpile materials and equipment
needed. Transportation requirements will be determined and arrangements made for use of
available transportation resources.
.
It is expected that local jurisdictions and state agencies will be alerted prior to a public
announcement of any action. All agencies responsible for implementing the plan will recall
off-duty personnel, mobilize reserves and auxiliaries, and assign emergency missions.
Traffic control forces will be deployed to duty stations, and resources needed for traffic
control will be brought into position. Final arrangements will be made for providing needed
transportation. Preparations will be made in low risk areas to receive evacuees from hazard
areas.
Evacuation Operations
When evacuation is announced to the public, traffic controls will be instituted throughout
hazard and low risk areas as well as on designated movement routes. Traffic control and
transportation operations will focus on assisting and expediting the movement of evacuees.
Constraints will be employed only when needed to protect individuals and to facilitate
movement. Evacuees arriving in a low risk area will be directed off the movement routes to
Reception and Care Centers. Evacuees with personal destinations (i.e., homes of friends or
relatives) will be accommodated to the maximum extent possible, since this will lessen the
burden placed on facilities in the low risk area.
.
H-22
.
.
.
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Once evacuees have been registered and assigned to lodging, movement by private auto
will be curtailed. Movement operations will then focus on transportation of critical
resources and on transporting essential workers to and from hazard and low risk areas.
Wherever possible, essential workers will be organized into groups and transported by
local transit agencies. Buses used to transport essential workers will remain in the hazard
area throughout the work shift so that essential workers can be transported to assigned
shelters near their place of work or to a nearby low risk area. Access controls will be
established to prevent unauthorized access to the hazard areas.
Attack Operations
If an attack warning is received, local traffic control personnel will assist in directing
people to available shelter. When the general population has completed: "movement to
shelter or if an attack occurs, all transportation and traffic control personnel will take
shelter. When conditions permit, transportation assistance will be provided for remedial
movement.

Annex I
RESCUE OPERATIONS
1.1 Introduction
This annex describes the general policies and procedures and organizations and systems for the
location of, provision of immediate care to, and safe removal of endangered, trapped, injured,
and/or isolated persons. Both the fire and law enforcement disciplines bear responsibility for rescue
operations, and they commonly interact during emergency response. This annex is written to
reflect and encourage such interaction in pre-event planning as well.
1.2 Objectives
The overall objectives of rescue operations are to:
o Locate endangered, trapped, disabled and/or isolated persons.
o Gain access to persons in need of assistance/rescue.
o
Administer first aid.
o Extricate trapped and injured persons.
o Move persons to safety.
o Perform initial triage of injured persons.
o Transport nonambulatory injured to Casualty Collection Points or medical care
facilities.
o Remove dead as incidental to rescue efforts.
o Tag injured and deceased.
o Report conditions, needs, observations of damage, resource status, and progress to
proper authorities.
o Provide food, lodging, equipment, materials, and supplies to rescue personnel.
o
Mark premises which have been searched.

MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
1.3 Concept of operations
.
When a natural disaster or technological incident occurs, rescue efforts will be undertaken to search
for trapped and injured persons and to extricate them safely and quickly. Rescue operations might
well require personnel and equipment from fire, law enforcement and public works agencies, and
from the private sector. Operations associated with this situation may require the total spectrum of
rescue operations, from evacuation, to debris tunneling, shoring and stabilization of structures. In
such situations, Fire Chiefs in incorporated areas and the County Sheriff in unincorporated areas are
the normally designated responsible officials.
For overall efficiency of the rescue function, and to make maximum use of personnel and
resources, an Incident Emergency Management System, such as an Incident Command System
(ICS), should be established. The ICS provides functional organization for on-scene management
of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures and communications.
Rescue activities during peacetime and war emergencies will usually be associated with the periods
and phases indicated below. Detailed operational concepts and emergency response actions
associated with various types of emergencies are provided in Appendix I, Hazard-Specific
Responses.
1.3.1 Pre-Emergency Period
.
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklists describing the rescue function in an emergency.
Such plans and procedures will provide for coordination and communication channels with
all appropriate agencies and organizations with rescue capabilities and/or responsibilities.
Training should be conducted, with emphasis on rescue techniques. Resource listings and
alert lists will also be prepared and maintained.
Increased Readiness Phase
This phase could begin upon receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of a
flood which could impact the City of Dublin, or a rapidly deteriorating international situation
which could lead to a possible enemy attack upon the United States. Increased readiness
actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs, resource information, and alert
lists; accelerating training programs; inspecting equipment; and taking other feasible
preparedness measures.
1.3.2 Emergency Period

CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre-Impact Phase
Actions to be taken during this phase are precautionary. Appropriate countermeasures will
be taken to protect people should the City of Dublin be impacted by an event such as a
slow-rise flood situation, a health endangering hazardous material incident, or an imminent
enemy attack. Preparations will be made to conduct rescue operations in affected areas.
Immediate Impact Phase
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrated on the well-being of people affected by
an event. Examples of such events are a major earthquake, a flash flood, a large explosion, a
release of hazardous materials, or a enemy attack. Priority activities will include rescue
operations for endangered or trapped persons.
Sustained Emergency Phase
As early lifesaving and property-protecting actions continue, attention will be given to
assuring that all searched areas have been definitely cleared and that all persons are
accounted for and safe from ensuing hazards.
1.3.3 Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
Priorities during this period will be focused on continuing to provide essential services and assisting
with recovery operations.

Annex K
RESOURCES AND SUPPORT OPERATIONS
K.1 Introduction
This annex addresses policies and procedures for providing or coordinating the provision of
services, equipment and supplies to support operations associated with natural disasters,
technological incidents, and war emergencies. It describes the governmental organization
responsible for providing resources and support (supply/procurement, personnel, transportation,
and utilities) and the elements of the private sector that normally provide commodities and
services. These activities may be subject to special orders and regulations promulgated by the
Governor during a State of Emergency or a State of War Emergency (see Enclosure 1-1,
Authorities and References, Part o~e.)
K.2 Objectives
The overall objectives of resources and support operations will be to:
o
Procure and allocate essential resources (personnel and material) to support
emergency operations.
o Oversee the distribution of food and other essential supplies.
o Procure and allocate required transportation resources.
o Maintain water, electrical, sanitation, and other utility systems and services. If
required, coordinate the emergency restoration of disrupted services.
o Provide supplies for mass care facilities, Multipurpose Staging Areas and medical
facilities.
o Establish pre-attack control over the use of resources in a manner basically
compatible with the post-attack oriented California Emergency Resources
Management Plan.
K.3 Concept of Operations
Resources and support activities during peacetime and nuclear defense emergencies will usually
be associated with the periods and phases indicated below. Detailed operational concepts and
emergency response actions associated with various types of emergencies are provided in
K-3
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Appendix K, Hazard-Specific Responses. Listings of local suppliers/providers of resources, .
support and services are provided in Part Three, Operational Data.
K.3.1 Pre-Emergency Period
The Pre-Emergency Period is divided into two phases as follows:
Normal Preparedness Phase
During this phase, emphasis will be placed on preparing supporting plans, Standing
Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklists detailing the disposition of resources in an
emergency. Such plans and procedures will provide for coordination and communication
channels with governmental agencies and elements of the private sector that normally
provide commodities and services. Resource listings will also be prepared and maintained
current.
Increased Readiness Phase
This phase could begin on receipt of an accredited earthquake prediction, the forecast of a
flood, or a rapidly deteriorating international situation which could lead to an enemy
attack. Increased readiness actions will include reviewing and updating plans, SOPs, and
resource information, and assuring that personnel, facilities, and equipment are
operationally ready and available for emergency use. If there is a possibility that a large
number of persons will be required to take shelter from potentially hazardous areas (e.g.,
in-place sheltering), preparations will be made to reconfigure distribution systems (food,
fuel, etc.).
.
K.3.2 Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
Pre-Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during this phase would be precautionary and would be
centered around taking appropriate countermeasures to protect people should the
jurisdiction be impacted by an event such as a slow-rise flood situation, a
health-endangering hazardous material incident, or enemy attack. If movement is ordered,
buses and other transportation will be used to move people to shelter areas. Transportation
resources must also be organized to provide for the delivery of supplies to shelter areas and
to sustain the resident and displaced population.
Immediate Impact Phase
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrated on the well-being of people impacted
by an event. Examples of such events are: a major earthquake, a flash flood, a large
explosion, a release of hazardous materials, or an enemy attack. Priority activities will
include restoring essential services and assessing damage.
.

CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
Sustained Emergency Phase
As early lifesaving and property-protecting actions continue, attention can be given to
sustaining populations in both hazard and reception areas, and the continued delivery of
essential equipment and supplies.
K.3.3 Post-Emergency Period (Recovery)
Priorities during this period will be focused on continuing to provide essential services and
assisting in recovery operations.
K.4 Organization and Responsibilities

Coordinator. (Individuals at the Mutual Aid Region and state levels are referred to as Resource
Coordinators. )
K.4.3 Mutual Aid Region
The Mutual Aid Region Resource Coordinators, who will function under the direction of the
California Office of Emergency Services (OES) Regional Manager, will be selected by
representatives of the designated state agencies and will be responsible for coordinating
appropriate resources and/or support activities. (Assignments will depend on regional
availability of State agency representatives.) The Coordinators will have the overall
responsibility for coordinating operations within their respective areas of interest. All relevant.
information and requests for support will be submitted to the appropriate State Resource
Coordinators.
.
K.4.4 State

K.4.5 Federal
During peacetime emergencies, certain federal agencies can provide resources and support to
state and local governments under separate statutory authorities. Following a Presidential
declaration of an Emergency or Major Disaster, assistance provided by fe~eral agencies will be
coordinated by the designated Federal Coordinating Officer.
During nuclear defense emergencies, particularly following a nuclear attack, the Federal
Government would direct and control production, distribution, acquisition, and use of critical
resources to meet essential civilian, military, atomic energy, civil defense, emergency
government, and foreign requirements when warranted by emergency conditions. To the extent
possible, the Federal Government would identify those activities essential to national security
and those resources needed to support essential activities, and provide guidance to all producers,
distributors, suppliers, and consumers of goods and services.

RESOURCES AND SUPPORT
RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES
Resources and support operations during nuclear emergencies will be governed by the following
concepts and essential actions relating to increased readiness, in-place sheltering, and enemy attack
(with or without warning). Special policies and procedures relative to the procurement and
distribution of essential resources are provided in Attachment K-5-A, Policies and Procedures
for Procurement and Distribution of Essential Resources During Nuclear Emergencies.
Detailed actions are provided in the Emergency Action Checklist, which is included as a part of this
Appendix.
Increased Readiness Operations
During an international crisis which poses a threat of war, all agencies charged with the
responsibilities of providing and/or controlling essential resources and support services will
prepare for the possibility of in-place sheltering or an attack. Agencies will review and
update plans and take necessary action to ensure that sufficient resources and support will
be available to support emergency operations. Resource data and operating procedures will .
be reviewed and all information updated to reflect current capabilities and needs. Resources
and Support Coordinators will ensure that service and resource providers and operating
units are aware of their responsibilities and assignments. Providers will take action to
ensure that personnel, facilities, and equipment are operationally ready and available for
emergency use. This should include accelerating and expanding inventories where
appropriate. If the crisis worsens, preparations will be made to reconfigure distribution
systems (food, fuel, etc.) to support possible in-place sheltering movement and sustaining
operations.
In-Place Sheltering Operations
If in-place sheltering is ordered, initial heavy demands will be placed on the Resources and
Support Organization in hazard areas. Buses and other transportation resources must be
organized to move people without private transportation to shelter areas in accordance with
appropriate movement plans. Transportation resources must also be organized to provide
for the delivery of supplies to reception areas and to sustain the resident and displaced
populations.
In-place sheltering operations will be conducted in the following phases:
.
K-20
.,
CITY OF DUBLIN
MULTI-HAZARD FUNCTIONAL PLAN
. Alert (Mobilization) Phase
In response to the alert to prepare for in-place sheltering, buses and other forms of
transportation will be organized and prepared to move persons without private
transportation from hazard to reception areas. All Resources and Support Organizations
will be fully mobilized and all essential elements of the private sector (transportation, food
and fuel suppliers, and others) will be informed to be prepared for in-place sheltering.
Movement Phase
During this phase a full mobilization of all Resources and Support Organizations (if not
already accomplished)will be required to support essential movement operations and to
sustain populations in shelters. The redirection of essential resources (food, fuel, equipment,
etc.) will be initiated.
Sustaining Phase
During this phase efforts will be concentrated on sustaining both non-residents and
residents in shelter areas. Because demand for fuel for private vehicles will be substantially
reduced after people arrive in shelter areas, fuel supplies will be restricted and maintained
for emergency operations, and for the delivery of essential equipment and supplies. The
provision of food for both the non-residents and residents in shelter areas will require major
changes in the statewide distribution system.
.
Attack Operations
If an attack warning is received at any time during the crisis, service providers will assist in
the movement to shelters, move mobile equipment to designated locations, take shelter, and
assist in shelter management. The Resources and Support Organizations will have a major
role in post-attack operations, including the restoration of essential services, providing
transportation for remedial movement and assessing damage.
