FORWARD <br />To: Officials, Employees, and Contract Staff of the City of Redwood City <br />The preservation of life, property, and the environment is an inherent responsibility of local, state, and <br />federal governments. The City of Redwood City (City) has prepared this Emergency Operations Plan (EOP <br />or Plan) to integrate and coordinate all Redwood City facilities and personnel into an effective team that <br />can prevent, protect, respond to and recover from emergencies. The purpose of this Plan is to incorporate <br />and coordinate all the facilities and personnel of the City into an efficient organization capable of <br />responding effectively to any emergency. <br />This Plan is designed as a reference and guidance document and is the foundation for disaster response <br />and recovery operations for the City. The EOP provides guidance to City staff to promote effective response <br />and recovery operations when any emergency affects City operations or the community. The scope of the <br />EOP includes the City's population, personnel, property, and facilities, and it is applicable to any incident <br />resulting from any hazard or threat. It establishes the emergency organization and concept of operations, <br />as well as specifies policies, general procedures and processes for coordination of the City's responsibilities <br />as a member of the San Mateo Operational Area with other Operational Area organizations. This plan <br />includes the critical elements of the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), the National <br />Incident Management System (NIMS), the National Response Framework and the Incident Command <br />System (ICS). <br />All City staff will become familiar with this plan and their role in the event of an activation where they will <br />be called upon to assist and support the emergency operations. <br />Sincerely, <br />V <br />RESO.
