3. Concept of Operations <br />3.1 ASSUMPTIONS <br />The EOP is based upon a number of planning assumptions: <br />• City staff will take immediate actions to address threats to life -safety or property damage, <br />within the constraints of their abilities and resources. <br />• The EOC Director will mobilize required resources and task City staff to fulfill the response/recovery <br />objectives. <br />• More than one EOC position may be filled by the same person. Some or all of the EOC team may <br />perform their duties remotely. <br />• City owned and contracted resources will act as one entity to conduct emergency response <br />and recovery operations. <br />• The EOC will work with private industry and government agencies in the incident impact area <br />to support provide essential services during the response and recovery periods of an emergency. <br />PHASES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT <br />In California, emergency management activities are associated with the five phases indicated below. Not <br />every disaster will necessarily include all the phases. All City Departments have responsibilities in one or <br />more of the emergency management phases: <br />• Prevention Phase <br />• Mitigation Phase <br />• Preparedness Phase <br />• Response Phase <br />• Recovery Phase <br />19 <br />
