• Operational Area or other warning center messaging that City residents are in danger of being impacted by an emergency • NWS warnings of severe weather conditions that are predicted to cause significant damage to infrastructure or potentially injure residents • Disruption of critical infrastructure that threatens the life or health of City residents, or severely disrupt normal City services • Credible terrorist threat against City infrastructure or population • County Department of Public Health warning of a harmful disease outbreak • Any event that is judged by the Director to warrant a Respond Level activation Deactivation The EOC will operate until a determination is made by the EOC Director to return to normal operations. EOC operations may be downgraded from a full or partial activation to a reduced level. When the EOC is deactivated or the activation level is downgraded, all internal and external contacts informed of the initial activation will be notified. Appropriate contact phone number(s) will be provided to external partners upon deactivation to ensure continuity of access, as additional support or informational needs may arise. For incidents that require recovery operations, the EOC may transition to a recovery operations center which is likely to operate during normal business hours. Additional information on recovery operations is contained in Appendix G. Disaster Service Workers According to Section 3100 of the California Government Code, all public employees are hereby declared to be disaster service workers (DSWs), subject to such disaster service activities as may be assigned to them by their superiors or by law. In the event of a local emergency, under Chapter 10 of the City Municipal Code, the Director of Emergency Services may require the emergency services of any City officer or employee and may requisition necessary personnel or materials of any City department or agency. During a disaster, City employees may be unable to report to work due to injury, imminent danger to themselves or family, road closures, collapsed bridges, or other structural damage. The City expects DSWs to make every reasonable effort to report as requested without jeopardizing themselves or their families. Although all City staff are DSWs, it is not advised that City employees report to another jurisdiction to work during a disaster. Memoranda of understanding/agreements have not yet been developed that would allow for City employees to receive compensation for working at other cities or local governments unless assigned as mutual aid. Emergency Reporting Procedures If a disaster occurs during the regular work day, all staff should contact their immediate supervisor for instructions or return to the office and await further instructions. It is the responsibility of each City department to develop specific procedures for notifying employees when they are to report for work following a disaster according to the guidelines contained in this plan. Before an emergency occurs, employees should be informed of when and where they should report for duty following a disaster. I •
