1.5 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS/REFERENCES The EOP is the primary document used by the City to describe the conduct of emergency management activities. The EOP addresses how emergency response and recovery operations will be conducted and how resource support will be requested and coordinated. The EOP is not a stand-alone document. Its purpose is to coordinate emergency operations while supporting the emergency plans and procedures of all City departments. The EOP is designed to be flexible enough to adapt to a changing response environment while meeting the needs of supporting and requesting organizations. Other plans and guidelines the EOP may support/complement include: • State of California Emergency Plan 2017 • State of California Emergency Management Mutual Aid Plan 2012 • California Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Plan 2016 • California Fire Service and Rescue Emergency Mutual Aid Plan 2014 • California Public Health and Medical Emergency Operations Manual 2011 • Bay Area Earthquake Plan 2016 • The San Mateo Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan, May 22, 2015 • Sam Mateo County Multi -Jurisdiction Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2011 • Other City Department Emergency Operations Plans and Standard Operating Procedures 1.6 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES/GUIDES (SOPS/SOGS) Additional organizational and/or functional Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or Standard Operating Guides (SOGs) are used by City Departments and other agencies and organizations that have responsibilities in this plan. Appendix C of this EOP serves as the SOP for the City EOC. City emergency operations staff should be acquainted with this and other relevant SOPs/SOGs and receive periodic training on the policies and procedures contained within them. 1.7 SPECIAL DISTRICTS, PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS, AND NON-PROFIT AGENCIES Many private organizations have established mutual aid systems to assist each other within their functional area. Electric and gas utilities have mutual aid agreements within their industry and established procedures for coordinating with governmental EOCs. In some functional areas, such as treated water, services are provided by a mix of special districts, municipal utilities and private agencies. Mutual aid arrangements may include both governmental and private agencies. A liaison should be established between the City EOC and private industry involved in a response. Where there is a need for extensive coordination and information exchange, private agencies should be represented in activated EOCs at the appropriate SEMS level. This is typically at the Operational Area level. Two excellent resources for volunteer involvement are: • They Will Come - Post Disaster Volunteers and Local Governments.
