Attend to the immediate physical safety of your- self and those immediately around you; 2.) Contact or see to the safety of your immediate family; develop a Family Plan and establish a family call-in phone contact in advance, preferably with a relative out of State or out of the region, or through the City; then, 3.) Report to work when directed to do so after trying to call-in or when called-back to work, or report in immediately if unable to contact your Depart- ment or the City; if unable to get to the City, report to the nearest City or County government agency as a volunteer employee paid by Redwood City. In the event of a partial or full activation of the Emergency Operations Organization, City Employees are expected to call-in and report to work when so directed. Those reporting late in an emergency may be granted a reasonable grace period by the Human Resources Director due to travel difficulties.. Those unable to report to work or otherwise remaining away from work may be allowed to use vacation/leave or will be on no pay status as established by the City Personnel Rules and applicable Memorandum of Understanding. In an emergency situation, employees may be assigned to a variety of duties other than their normal assignments but generally related to their knowledge, skills and abilities under their job class description.
