STATUS REPORT:
The Emergency Program Planning Committee (EPPC) has been formed and consists of
key persons from each Department specifically chosen by the respective
Department~ Head. Participating with the eleven City staff members are
representatives from the State Office of Emergency Services (OES), County
Emergency Management Division (EM/)), Tustin Unified School District, County
Fire Department, the City Attorney's office and joining at the next meeting the
American Red Cross.
The committee was formed to set up a desk top simulation of an earthquake with
response geared specifically to the City of Tustin. The simulation preparation
is the foundation for writing Tustin's Multi-Hazard Functional Plan (MFHP).
The committee has developed a basic scenario for the desk top simulation.
Based on this scenario, the committee has: assessed structural damage to
governmental facilities; assessed the work force available; determined
availability of equipment for operations during the emergency; outlined major
functional responsibilities by department and is in the process of assessing
major policy issues for consideration and implementation by the City Manager
and Department Heads as well as development of outside resources for continued
functional capabilities during an emergency.
Due to the holiday season, coordination of twenty people was impractical;
therefore, individual committee members worked independently on departmental
responsibilities and the next meeting will be scheduled in late January.
The desk top simulation will be broken down into segments the first being the
opening of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and establishing City policy.
This first session should occur in March, 1989.
