VF,� DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION C. Mgr. Subject: SAN DIEGO COUNTY REVIEW OF THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES Statement of the Matter The County Board of Supervisors previously ordered a review and study of the functions and organization of the'County Office of Emergency Services. The results of the directed study submitted in a report dated February 3, 1976, has been reviewed by the Board of Supervisors. 4 The report recommends: 1. The elimination or transfer of all. non -related or non -emergency preparadness functions now being performed by the Office of Emergency Services to appropriate operating departments for routine administration. E 2. A reduction in the staffing of the Office of Emergency Services in accordance with recommendations which are contained. in the report. The County Office of Emergency Services is an integral part of the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization. In light of this the County Board of Supervisors were interested in determining whether or not the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization enjoyed the support of elected policy makers of the member cities. The city staff was provided the opportunity of reviewing the report, making recommendations and generally commenting on the report prior to the time it was submitted to the Board of Supervisors. The city staff concurs in the findings and recommendations contained in the report. Accordingly, attached to this agenda bill is a resolution recommended for enactment by the City Council. This resolution asserts that the City Council does support the continuation of the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization.

California ..... 92101 " Telephone: (714) 236-3864 TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Asst. CAO-Community Services Agency SUBJECT: Review of County Office of Emergency Services On June 19, 1975(39) your Board directed this office to review the operations of the Office of Emergency Services (OES) and prepare, to the extent possible, a phase --out plan while permitting the County to retain such beneficial program aspects as the Sur- plus/Excess Property Program. Accordingly, this office has conducted an extensive review and analysis of applicable provisions of Federal and State Law, the responsibilities of the County as a member of the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization, the County's responsi- bilities for emergency preparedness planning and disaster response for the unincorporated areas, and Federal -State -Local interrela- tionships prior to, during, and after a disaster. This review and analysis has revealed that: 1. All political subdivisions of the State must be capable of implementing the provisions of the State Emergency Plan; 2. Federal regulations require local agencies to be State certi- fied disaster agencies in order to participate in the Sur- plus/Excess Property Programs and to maintain eligibility for (a) Annual matching fund grants to support local emergency preparedness planning costs, (b) Matching fund grants for construction of emergency communication facilities; 3. In order to obtain State certification, local agencies must establish disaster councils and agree to follow, and comply i I i 'Board of Supervisors -2- February 3, 1976 with, the State OES Rules and Regulations. These Rules and Regulations, in part, require local agencies to (a) employ personnel whose primary responsibility is emergency preparedness planning, and (b) demonstrate capability to implement the State Emergency Plan; and 4. The impact of most high risk disasters (fire, flood and earth- quake) in this County would be multijurisdictional in nature, requiring a high degree of emergency services coordination between local, State and Federal agencies. Thus, it appears that the unified approach to disaster prepared- ness and the OES presently utilized by the County and Cities is the most cost-effective method for providing both, an effective coordinated disaster response capability as well as maintaining eligibility for participation in such benefical programs as the Surplus/Excess Property Program and federal matching fund grants. However, our review of the functions and operation of the OES has revealed that program fragmentation, functional overlap and dupli- cation, as well as the performance of non -essential, non -emergency preparedness tasks, has diverted the OES from its primary role of developing a disaster response capacity for the County and the San Diego Region. While I support continuation of the OES in order to meet ,your Board's responsibilities to the unincorporated area for disaster preparedness, and to the Cities under the Unified Emergency Services Agreement, it is believed that a major reordering of priorities and the reassignment and/or elimination of non -essential tasks will result in significantly improved program efficiency and effectiveness coincident with a reduction in staffing and atten- dant costs. Therefore, it is my ! RECOMMENDATION: That your Board +� 1. Reaffirm the concept of a unified, coordinated disaster response capability in the County as recommended in i this report.• 2. Direct this office to accomplish the elimination or transfer of all unrelated and non -emergency prepared- ness functions to appropriate operating departments for routine administration. { 3. Direct a reduction in staffing for the OES as indi- cated in Alternative IV in Attachment It, commencing at once through normal attrition and completed by the end of Fiscal 75-76. Board of Supervisors -3- February 3, 1976 Discussion Summary As a result of compliance with State mandates through the Unified Emergency Services Organization and the OES, the County has received tangible benefits from the Surplus Property Program and emergency fac- ilities grants amounting to an average $337,035 per year over the 15 year history of the organization. The net County costs of the OES (one-fourth of total program cost) have averaged $41,490 per year during the same 15 year period. Staffing at the beginning of the Unified Organization dropped from 21 full-time personnel (10 City of San Diego, 10 County, one (1) E1 Cajon) to 19 in the OES and has since decreased to twelve (12). In those same years, perceptions regarding the mission of this organization have changed substantially from preparation for large scale warfare involving nuclear attack to a recognition that much higher probability exists that disasters requiring the activating of such an organization will be more localized and of a non-mili- tary nature (i.e. earthquakes, floods, fire, aircraft accidents, etc.) The shift of focus of activity of the organization, however, has not kept pace with this change in mission either locally or at higher levels of government other than to make statutory pro- vision for increased local focus on these high probability -type of disasters. In my judgment, some level of emergency preparedness is the proper responsibility of local government regardless of State mandates. Additionally, the local organization has accrued some functions over the years which do not necessarily need to be accomplished by that organization and can be absorbed elsewhere in the County with existing manpower. Certain other functions which relate more closely to disasters can be placed with existing County organizations which handle such functions, or very closely related functions, on a day-to-day basis. In the period of this study one simulation exercise involving all of the principle administrators and managers of County Govern- ment, including the CAO, has taken place. It was a simulation of an earthquake with consequential problems involving fire and floods from broken dams. The exercise showed substantial defi- ciency in concept as to how such an emergency would be handled. Further attention is given to this subject elsewhere in the text of this report. Summing up, the recommendations above were based on maintaining the Unified Organization. I firmly believe its continued exis- tence is clearly in the interest of the County and all of the Board of Supervisors -4- February-3, 1976 Cities in the County. Indeed, the Unified structure is a State- wide model in concept though functionally it may well be improved by reconsideration of methods of coordination in the event of a disaster, and the development of joint exercise simulations. If your Board adopts these recommendations, a'staff reduction of 3.00 man-years can and will be accomplished by transfer of assign- ment and improvement in efficiency of operations. An additional one (1) man-year reduction may be possible within Fiscal Year 1976-77 through reassignment of additional functions. Staff reductions can be accomplished without excessive hardship to present employees through attrition as well as an ample opportunity for transfer in the period before the start of the next fiscal year. During the conduct of the review of the OES consideration was given to consolidation of the several emergency related functions, i.e. the Offices.of Emergency Services, Fire Service Coordinator and Emergency Medical Services. Such a proposal has merit, however, since both the Fire Services and Emergency Medical Services pro- grams are still in their formative stages, a merg;r was considered inappropriate at this time.. As the. Fire Services and Emergency Medical Services Programs become more solidified, staff will under- take an evaluation of further program consolidation. STATUTORY FRAMEWORK Federal: The basis in law from which virtually all other law concerning disaster preparedness is derived is found in the Federal Disaster Act of 1950 and its subsequent amendments. The intent of the Act was originally directed toward disaster preparedness and response during wartime and/or nuclear attack. Over the years amendments have substantially redirected emphasis away from a wartime/nuclear posture toward developing a preparedness and response capability in natural disasters. The Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974 further emphasized development_ of planning and response capa- bilities for natural disasters, i.e. fire, earthquake, flood, etc. Essentially, the Federal role in disaster preparedness and response can be defined as providing direct anu indirect assistance and coordination of the emergency preparedness and disaster response activities of State and local governments. The Federal legislation contemplates, but does not specifically require, development of comprehensive disaster planning and assistance programs, organi- zations and response capabilities by State and Local Governments. State: State Statutes are more specific concerning local responsibilities in disaster preparedness. The California Emergency Services Act (Ch. 1454, 1970 Stat.) established the California Office of Emer- gency Services and imposed certain additional responsibilities upon counties and cities. Board of Supervisors -5- February 3, 1976 The Act, in part, requires that "The State Emergency Plan shall be in effect in each political subdivision of the State, and the governing body of each political subdivision shall take such actions as may be necessary to carry out the provisions thereof" (Sec. 8568 G.C.). Other sections require the Governor to coordinate the emergency planning of local agencies in order to ensure com- patibility with the State Emergency Plan. While State legislation does not attempt to prescribe a local agency's internal organizational arrangements pertaining to emergency preparedness the Statutes infer development of an organi- zed disaster response capability by local agencies. Through the interaction of Federal and State regulations, require- ments for emergency preparedness staff and demonstrated disaster response capability become more specific. Federal regulations require counties and cities to become State certified disaster agencies if they desire to participate in the Surplus/Excess Property Program and/or become eligible for fedetal matching funds for personnel and administrative costs and grants to construct emergency communications facilities. In order to be so certified, State legislation and regulations require counties and cities to form disaster councils and specify the provision of staff whose primary responsibility is emergency preparedness. In San Diego County the Unified Emergency Services Organization and the OES staff meet the Federal -State requirements and provide the umbrella under which the County, Cities and Special Districts oaintain eligibility for participation in the programs. Without County certification Special Districts in the unincorporated area, as well as the County i-later Authority could not avail themselves of the Surplus/Excess Property Program. County: Section 31.010 et. seq. of the County Code establishes: 1. The Unified Emergency Services Organization and Coordinator of Emergency Services (CAO) as well as prescribing its powers and duties to be exercised during a countywide or statewide emergency. 2. The Emergency Services Organization for the unincorporated areas and Director of Emergency Services (CAO) its powers ,and duties to be exercised in a less than countywide disaster affecting the unincorporated areas. Board of Supervisors -6- February 3, 1976 3. The Office of Emergency Services and its staff, duties and responsibilities, in support of the Unified Organi- zation and the Emergency Organization for the unincor- porated area. (See Attachment 3) The Emergency Services Agreement is the document that implements the Unified Emergency Services Organization, specifies the duties and responsibilities of the OES and sets forth the funding formula which supports the OES. The County and all of the Cities are signatories to the Emergency Services Agreement. (See Attachment 3). If the County were to determine to terminate the Emergency Services Agreement your Board would have to act by March 1, 1976. (Not recommended). Present OES Organizational Profile: Based on the report of a consultant (Harry Stoopes, 1959) retained by the County, with the concurrence of the Cities, the present Unified Emergency Services Organization and the OES was established in 1961. As noted above, prior to the formation of the Unified con- cept twenty-one (21) full time personnel were responsible for emer- gency preparedness planning.- Upon formation of the OES, fourteen (14) positions were authorized and filled. At the beginning of the fiscal year OES was authorized twelve (12) positions: One Chief Deputy Director, six Deputy Directors, one Storekeeper, one Stockclerk, one Senior Clerk and two Intermediate Clerks. The position of one vacant Deputy Director has since been removed and reclassified to accommodate the Cable Television Review Commission function recently transferred to the Community Services Agency .and approved by your Board on November 12, 1975 (55). The remaining staff is presently responsible for the following functions: 1. Development of regional emergency service plans for use during countywide disasters. 2. Development of the unincorporated area emergency service plan for use by County Government during local emergencies. 3. Emergency planning technical advice and assistance to cities. 4. Contingency planning for dam evacuation, oil spills, mutual aid, nuclear power plant, radiation incidents, fire season evacuation, heavy rainfall, etc. 5. Biennial revision and updating of all unincorporated areas and regional plans and annexes (technical assistance to cities). Board of Supervisors -7- February 3f 1176 6. Freparation and maintenance of regional resource inventories. 7. Negctiate agreements with private industry for use of their resources during disasters, e.g. food service industry, AGC, Bus companies. 8. Preparation of federal matching fund grants for the County and i Cities for construction of emergency communications facilities. 9. Acquisition of Surplus/Excess Pkoperty for County, Cities and Special Districts. 10. Coordination of post disaster recovery assistance program of State and Federal Government. 11. Preparation of application.for Federal reimbursement of costs incurred by the County, Cities and Special Districts in com- bating a disaster. 12. Radiological safety and training for the region. 13. Public information and education. 14. Energy conservation and management. 15. Maintenance and upkeep of stored emergency preparedness equip- ment (First Aid stations, packaged hospitals, etc.) Federal grants provide funds annually in an amount equivalent to 48% of total program costs. Fifty percent of the non-federal costs (26% of total program costs) is apportioned to the cities based on a formula using population and assessed value. The remaining costs (26% of total program costs) are assumed by the County. The funding formula is provided for in the Emergency Services Agreement between the County and Cities. (See Attachment 1 for cost recovery infor- mation.) Review of Present OES In summary, this review has revealed that the OES is performing functions not related to their primary role and performing organi- zational maintenance tasks more appropriate for routine administra- tion by other departments,.as well as directly providing certain services that should be handled more effectively. It is also apparent that the Mobilization Designee Program (MOBDES) in which military reserve officers from the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force are assigned to federal, state and local emergency pre- paredness organizations, has not been adequately utilized. The 30 Board of Supervisors -8- February 3, 1976 MOBDES personnel assigned serve approximately 2 hours each per week as well as their annual two week active duty tour with OES,. With proper scheduling, this pool of federally funded personnel could perform many useful tasks thereby freeing OES staff for the more important emergency preparedness function. On September 26, 1975 a disaster exercise was conducted in which all County agencies participated. At the conclusion of this exercise it was evident to all those participating that deficiencies existed in both disaster response capability and planning. The nature of the deficiencies noted were: Departmental unfamiliarity with existing emergency plans; lack of emergency plans in some -cases-and the lack of a well-defined role for the OES.during emergencies. It is my assessment that the obsolescent philosophy which requires department heads to leave their normal working environment and assemble in a central place in order to make decisions and allocate resources to combat the disaster was, to a great extent, responsible for departmental ineffectiveness during the exercise. Department heads, with their staff immediately available, can more adequately respond to disasters from their normal working environment. It is my intention that this concept be implemented in the proposed reorganization of the OES. Recommended OES Organizational Profile For comparative purposes, the emergency preparedness efforts of other urban counties were examined (Los Angeles, Alameda, Ventura, San Mateo and Santa Clara). The efforts of these counties range from assigning emergency preparedness functions to existing County officers as collateral responsibilities to staff persons assigned full time responsibility for emergency preparedness. While certain agencies (Los Angeles County) have had some success obtaining State certification and federal funding without a formal organization like OES, such approvals are rare, require considerable annual effort to justify federal funding and result in significant duplication of effort between cities and the county. Attempts by other agencies to receive State approval of similar organizational arrangements have not been successful and continued approval of Los Angeles County's system has met with greater State resistance. The Unified Emergency Services concept and the OES, pioneered by San Diego County, appears to be the most cost effective method to maintain a disaster response capability for the region and ensure continued certification by the State. Without certification there appears to be no method of retaining County and Special District eligibility to participate in the Surplus/Excess Property Program and other beneficial program aspects. (See Attachment #1 for description. It should also be noted here that the Unified Emergency Services Organization of San Diego County and the OES are internationally recognized as a model organizational concept for disaster preparedness and response. Board of Supervisors -9- February 3, 1976 In consideration of the above circumstances and consistent with your Board's objectives to the extent possible, I am proposing that this office accomplish the following actions regarding the functions and operations of the OES, subject to your Board's approval: 1.' Transfer the Energy Conservation and Public Information and Education functions to the appropriate County depart- ments for routine administration. 2. Transfer all emergency medical services, preparedness planning and equipment (packaged disaster hospitals, first aid stations) and the medical self-help training function and materials to the Health Care Agency - Emergency Medical Services. 3. Transfer. all other tasks not related to or necessary to' support the primary emergency preparedness function, e.g. inventory; printir.n; shipping, receiving and storage of emergency supplies and equpment; billing, etc. to the appro- priate departments fcr administration. 4. Discontinue the training of radiological monitoring personnel directly and utilize existing training officers in the various fire departments and law enforcement agencies. 5. Affect an effective utilization of assigned MOBDES personnel. 6. Accomplish a restructuring of the OES internal organizational structure and emergency preparedness planning priorities. 7. Reassign the Surplus/Excess Property acquisition function to the Purchasing Department. In addition to the position recently converted for the Cable Tele- vision Review function, the reduction in staffing related to the above proposal would amount to net reduction of 3.00 man-years. Reassignment of the Surplus/Excess Property acquisition function to the Purchasing Department may result in a reduction of one (1) additional man-year within the 76-77 fiscal year. in view of the importance of the Surplus/Excess Property Program, particularly in the Fire Protection Program, the reduction of this additional man-year was not deemed advisable at this time. Personnel affected would be absorbed and should any of the positions become vacant, they would be eliminated. An attempt will be made to obtain federal funding for any position/ functions transferred out of the OES, recognizing that, with the exception of those functions transferred to 11CA-Emergency Medical Services, the probability of State and Federal approval is very low. ft��, Board of Supervisors =10- February 3, 1976 It should be noted by your Board that any changes in the staffing and functions of the OES may have an impact on the contracting 13 Cities. In accepting the recommendations in this report, or any other changes your Board may direct, consideration should be given to providing for the Cities' input. The Cities were informed of this review of the OES and provided a copy of this report. Verbal comments received concerning the recommended organizational profile have been favorable. The advantages/disadvantages and fiscal implications related to the recommended alternative (IV) and other alternatives considered are summarized in Attachment II. B. ILS A, Asst. CAO Community Services Agency (Acting) GBW:RA:jn Attachments FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT: Program: Emergency Services Remarks: Adoption of the recommended proposal will result in a net County cost reduction of $2,200 for Fiscal Year 1975-76 and approximately $8,450 in Fiscal Year 1976-77 as indicated in Alternate IV, Attachment II. These cost reductions are in addition to the $25,000 removed from the 1975-76 Budget of the Office of Emergency Services by the Board of Super- visors 6-19-75(34). cc: City Managers, 13 Cities Health Care Agency Emergency Medical Services Fiscal & Justice Agency Purchasing Agent Sheriff Dept. of General Services Public Information Office CSA Advisory Board Members I A • _ A7TACN?IENf I 'COSTS Unified Shared Budget (Est •) o FY 71-72 FY 72-73 FY 73-74 FY 74-75 FY 75-76 i County share (25%) 50,029 55,279 63,140 69,897 622687 Cities' share (25%) 50,028 55,278 63,140 69,898 62,688 Federal shay, (50%) 95,427 92,938 89,661 101,963 107,248 Total share budget 195,484 203,495 215,941 241,758 232,623 NOTE: The federal government pays 50% of all "eligible" expenses for the annual operation of the local disaster organization.

Five categories of beneficial programs include: I. Personnel and Administrative Expenses Program 1 _ . This program allows federal funding (up to 50$ of all costs) for the support of emergency services personnel and equipment at the local level. For San Diego County $1,127,664 has been received during the last 13 fiscal years in support of the Office of Emergency Services operating costs. 2. Surplus Federal Personal Property Aside from the disaster preparedness activities, the function performed by'OES which is of greatest concern to participants in the Unified Disaster Council and other County public juris- dictions receiving service thereby is the Federal Surplus/ Excess Property Program. The authority to participate in this program is governed by Federal CD Guide,.July 1971, Part F, Chapter 5, Appendix 3 "Surplus Property." This guide estab- lishes the eligibility requirements for participation in the program and states under Section 2.3A. Statutory Requirements: "A donee must be a civil defense organization of a State, or political subdivision or instrumentality thereof, established by or pursuant to State law." Further subsections indicate that a "...donee must have a State approved civil defense program;" and that the "...State Civil Defense Director (i.e. Director, Officer of Emergency Services) must certify that a donee has met all State and OCD (i:e., Office of Civil Defense) eligibility requirements." Prior to sale to the general public or other disposal of federal surplus personal property, the material is made available to such certified public agencies as OES. This property ranges from hardware, safety equipment and building materials to heavy equipment such as fire trucks, bulldozers, cranes, and buildings. In Fiscal Year 1974-75 the value of surplus property received by San Diego County was $567,046. The following is a list by function of major surplus equipment received by the County., FUNCTION FY 1974/75 Fire Protection $ 28,925 Law Enforcement 393,997 Water Authorities 21,976 Misc.

Would require assigning emergency preparedness function to the Chief Administrative Officer and/or other existing County offices as a concurrent responsibility. A reduction in annual County cost of. approximately $62,988 might be expected; havever, since the State continues to mandate certain emergency pre- paredness planning respcnsibilities, the County could expect to expend an unknavn amount annually...

GC). These statutes also require the Board to provide sufficient operating funds to the Sheriff for the emergency pre- paredness function, should your Board elect to assign the function to the Sheriff. This particular organizational placement has some definite advantages and disadvantages, and has been used by some counties with varying degrees of success. There is no evi- dence that the success of failure of the emergency preparedness function has been related to this organizational placement, rather, success or failure is Mre closely associated with a high or low.level of interest in emergency preparedness shared by the responsible officials.
