PLAN APPROVAL AND PROMULGATION <br />LETTER OF PROMULGATION <br />To: Officials, Employees, Contract Staff and Whole Community of the City of Redwood City <br />Protection of life, property and natural resources is an inherent function of our government. The <br />City of Redwood City, California has prepared this Emergency Operations Plan (EOP or Plan) to <br />ensure the most efficient use of resources to protect our community and its property before, <br />during, and after a natural, technological, or man-made emergency. <br />Although a plan by itself cannot prevent disaster situations, actions carried out by <br />knowledgeable and well-trained personnel can and will minimize such disasters. This Plan <br />confirms our City's emergency organization, assigns tasks, presents policies and general <br />procedures, and coordinates planning within various emergency management functions utilizing <br />the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) in alignment with the National <br />Incident Management System (NIMS). The objective of this Plan is to integrate and coordinate <br />all Redwood City facilities and personnel into an effective team that can prevent, protect, <br />respond to and recover from emergencies. <br />This EOP is an extension of the State Emergency Plan and the San Mateo County Operational <br />Area Plan. It will be examined and exercised as needed and updated to meet changing conditions. <br />The City Council fully supports this Plan and encourages all agencies, employees and the whole <br />community to assist in emergency situations affecting the City of Redwood City. <br />This letter promulgates and adopts the City of Redwood City Emergency Operations Plan, and <br />formally adopts SEMS and NIMS by the City of Redwood City. This plan becomes effective on <br />approval by the City Council of the City of Redwood City. <br />City Manager <br />City of Redwood City <br />XIII RESO. NO. 15781 <br />MUFF NO. 205 <br />
