BACKGROUND:
The City of Tustin Emergency Preparedness plan has been under preparation this
past year and is currently 65% complete. During this preparation period the
staff position working on this plan has been vacated twice. The most recent
position has been vacant since October 12, 1990 and it is anticipated that it
will be filled during the latter part of January 1991. It is anticipated that
the plan will be completed in approximately 120 days once staff is available to
resume work on the plan.
The Emergency Preparedness Plan will be organized in three parts as follows:
1. Basic plan which provides the overall organizational and operational
concepts relative to response and recovery, as well as an overview of
potential hazards.
2. Functional annexes which describe the emergency response organization.
3. Resources lists which includes available resources, contacts and other
information essential to responding to emergencies.
The plan is similar to the plan previously adopted by the City of Irvine and is
designed to be a preparedness document, to be read, understood, and exercised
prior to an emergency. Additionally, it is designed to include the City of
Tustin as part of the statewide emergency management system.
The City Emergency Services Coordinator will be the responsible party for
coordination and scheduling of training in and exercising of this plan. Regular
exercises of this plan will be held to train all necessary City Staff in proper
response to emergency situations. Exercises should be held on a biennial basis
and will provide a simulation of a series of emergencies for identified hazards
that could affect the City.
Staff will return with a status update on this plan in March after work has
resumed on the plan.
