RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt the proposed Carlsbad Multi-Hazard Emergency Plan as the emergency plan of the Cit:
Carlsbad, and authorize the City Manager as the Director of Emergency Services to issue
administrative revisions to the plan as needed.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Carlsbad Emergency Management Administrative Team (CEMAT) recently completed a
evaluation of the City’s emergency plan and found that it is in need of updating to reflect the
current organizational structure, and the Standardized Emergency Management Guidelines (S
recently adopted by the State of California. In keeping with its mission, CEMAT has proposc
revisions to the plan that correct those deficiencies. The CEMAT staff is recommending no cl

Reconcile the emergency plan with the structure of the organization.
Install improvements in the plan based upon lessons learned during annual trainin
exercises and the Harmony Grove Fire.
Modi@ the plan as necessary to align it further with the state Standardized Emergl
Management System (SEMS).

concepts of the plan or obligations of the City. Any substantive changes contemplated woul
submitted to the City Council for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
No direct fiscal impact will result from council action on this matter. However the state’s SI
regulations require that counties and local agencies conform with SEMS to be eligible for
reimbursement of the state share of their emergency response costs.

1998 UPDATE OF THE CITY EMERGENCY PLAN
The purpose of this report is to explain proposed revisions to the city’s emergency plan.
In keeping with its mission, the Carlsbad Emergency Management Team (CEMAT) has
completed a review of the emergency plan and has prepared an updated 1998 edition.
Our current plan was approved by Council in 1989. Since then, the City organizational
structure has changed significantly, and new state emergency planning and operating
guidelines have been adopted. CEMAT’s objective in this process is to capture those
changes, incorporate staff upgrade recommendations, and where possible simplify the
layout and the language of the document for ease of use.
BACKGROUND
The emergency plan is designed to guide the City’s actions prior to, during and following
extraordinary emergency events such as earthquakes, floods, fires, and other threats to
life, property and the environment. Management of emergencies of this magnitude
requires a cooperative effort between numerous agencies and disciplines. Since these
entities seldom work in concert, it is imperative that their emergency response roles and
responsibilities are well defined and understood. The basic plan outlines actions required
and who is responsible to accomplish them. But the scope of the emergency plan is not
limited to actions required during the emergency or disaster. It also includes direction for
action in the three other major areas of emergency management, mitigation, preparedness,
and recovery.
Volume two of the plan consists of fifteen functional annexes which prescribe operating
procedures to be employed during major events to meet specific functional needs such as
law enforcement, mass casualty management, care and shelter management, etc. The
functional annexes are universally developed and applied throughout the Operational
Area (County). Changes to the annexes are approved by the County Unified Disaster
Council which is comprised of one representative from all cities in San Diego County.
The Plan is further supported by the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) developed
and maintained by each city department. These SOP are important to the overall city
response effort, as they lay out pre determined instructions for city staff to follow during
the initial stages of an emergency event. These instructions are designed to facilitate the
formation of the emergency response organization and prepare the staff for action.
PLAN REVISIONS
The review of the plan by CEMAT focused on discrepancies created by recent
organizational changes, suggestions from city management staff, and conflicts with the
0 0
Standardized Emergency Management System recently adopted by the State of
California. The update also provided an opportunity to rewrite certain sections for
purposes of clarity.
Organizational and operational changes
Since the plan assigns city personnel emergency management responsibility by their title
in the city organization, all of the functional organizational charts of the plan required
some form of editing to capture recent changes. Only functional positions in the City’s
Emergency Operating Center (EOC) were addressed, since no significant changes have
occurred among the ranks of field personnel that would impact their roles as emergency
responders. The revisions also reflect the following changes in staffing within the EOC
that are necessary to correct difficulties encountered during training exercises and the
Harmony Grove Fire.
Management Section The current plan calls for the attendance of a significant
number of department heads or Major Service Area Directors in the Management
Section. Following the Harmony Grove Fire and subsequent training exercises,
the Management Team suggested that the group was too large to operate
effectively and instructed CEMAT to develop other staffing options.
The proposed plan, in accordance with the SEMS guidelines, reduces the number
of Management Section positions to six. Each of the positions will be staffed by
a senior manager with specific responsibilities. It should be recognized that the
Director of Emergency Services (City Manager) may opt to further reduce or
increase management section staffing as needs dictate. This will free senior
managers with no routine assignment in the Management Section to supervise and
support their personnel involved in field operations.
Operations Section During the Harmony Grove Fire and subsequent training
exercises, it was found that a single Public Works position is not always
sufficient to manage service demands. For that reason, the position of
UtilitiedMaintenance Unit was eliminated in favor of three separate units,
WatedSanitation, Traffic, and Streets.
Planning Section Comments and suggestions from staff following training
events and the Harmony Grove Fire indicated there was no need for a position
dedicated strictly to “Documents.” After reviewing the responsibilities and
action checklists of the planning unit, it was decided that the responsibility for
document collection and preservation could be easily satisfied by combining the
Documents and Visual Display Units.
Logistics Section An Information Systems Unit was created to provide for the
word processing and electronic communication needs of the EOC. During the
arose. The demand for timely production of media releases, action plans, status
Harmony Grove Incident, special information and document processing needs
0 0
reports and other documents resulted in the temporary procurement of a word
processing equipment and personnel by the Logistics Chief. This revision will
formalize that position.
Standardized Emergency Management System
Following the 1991 East Bay Hills fire in Oakland, Senator Nicholas Petris successfully
sponsored legislation that requires all state emergency response agencies to organize and
Emergency Management System (SEMS). SEMS is designed around the concepts of the
Incident Command System (ICs), which was developed by the California Fire Service
over twenty years ago, as method of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling
emergency response actions and resources. It prescribes a “Modular” structure that can
be expanded or reduced as the complexities of the incident change.
SEMS also requires area, regional and state coordination of emergency response and
resource allocation. This resulted in the creation of the Operational Area concept that
recognizes county government as the intermediary between the local agencies (Cities and
districts) and state organizations. The purpose of the resulting hierarchy is to provide
efficient and orderly logistical support to local agencies during extraordinary emergency
events. The legislation does not require local or county organizations to follow SEMS
standards, however non-compliance could affect eligibility of local agencies for
reimbursement of the state share of emergency response costs following a disaster.
Carlsbad’s emergency plan as approved by the City Council in 1989 incorporates the
concepts of the Incident Command System as an operational structure, and has therefore
always been fundamentally compliant with SEMS requirements. The SEMS revisions
included in the 1998 edition of the plan are editorial in nature and are needed to reconcile
differences in nomenclature.
Editorial revisions
CEMAT has condensed the plan somewhat by removing redundant sections and
replacing others with more concise text. Care was exercised to ensure that these changes
would not impact the substance of the plan.
PLAN VALIDATION
Recently, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) invited Carlsbad to submit
the 1998 edition of the plan for certification review. CEMAT has conducted its own
state format. Upon adoption of the plan by Council, CEMAT will submit the plan for
formal review and audit. OES will report any areas of deficiency, and that report will
provide the basis of a portion of CEMAT’s 99-00 work plan.
operate in a coordinated fashion. This resulted in the development of the Standardized
review using OES standards and has found that the plan conforms substantially to the

Radioactive Materials
The reduction (normally by removal) of contaminated radioactive material from
structure, area, person or object. Decontamination may be accomplished by treatii
(e.g., washing down or sweeping) the surface to remove the contaminatia
Contamination control is accomplished by isolating the area or object and letting t
material stand so the radioactivity is decreased as a result of natural deca
shielding.
Other Hazardous Materials
Decontamination consists of physically removing contaminants and/or changing th
chemical nature to innocuous substances. How extensive decontamination must
depends on a number of factors, the most important being the type of contaminar
involved. The more harmful the contaminant, the more extensive and thorou
decontamination must be, combining decontamination, the correct method

CHAPTER 1
BASIC EMERGENCY PLAN 0
PURPOSE
The Basic Emergency Plan addresses the City of Carlsbad’s planned response
extraordinary emergency situations associated with natural disasters, technologic
incidents and nuclear defense operations. It defines operational concepts relating to tl
various emergency situations, identifies components of the City of Carlsbad Emergenc
Management Organization and describes the overall responsibilities of the organization f
protecting life and property. The plan also identifies the possible sources of outsic
support which might be provided by other jurisdictions, State and Federal agencies and tl
private sector through mutual aid and specific statutory authorities.
AUTHORITIES AND REFERENCES
Emergency operations will be conducted as outlined under Concept of Operations, page
3, and in accordance with enabling legislation, plans and agreements shown in Appendix i
Authorities and References.
PHASES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
A. MITIGATION
Mitigation activities are those that eliminate or reduce the probability of a disast
occurrence. . Also included are those long-term activities that lessen the undersirat
effects of unavoidable hazards. Some examples include establishment of buildir
codes, flood plain management, insurance, public education programs, vulnerabili
analysis updates, tax incentives or disincentives, zoning and land use managemer
building use regulations and safety codes, resource allocations and preventive heal
care.
0
B. PREPAREDNESS
Preparedness activities are necessary to the extent that mitigation measures hay
not, or cannot, prevent disaster, In the preparedness phase, governmenl
organizations, and individuals develop plans to save lives and minimize disast
damage. These activities serve to develop the response capabilities needed in tl
event of an emergency. Examples include preparedness plans, emergent
exercisedtraining, warning systems, emergency communication systems, eva
uation plans and training, resource inventories, emergency personnel/contact lis1
mutual aid agreements and public educationhformation.
e
1-1
Basic Emergency Plan w %+halard Emergency Pian
C. RESPONSE
Response activities follow the issuance of a pending disaster warning or the
occurrence of an actual disaster or emergency. These activities help to reduce
casualties and damage, and speed recovery. Response activities include public
warning, notification of public authorities, evacuation, rescue, assistance, activation
of emergency operations centers (EOC), declarations of disaster, search and rescue
and other similar operations addressed in this plan.
D. RECOVERY
Recovery continues until all systems return to normal and includes both short-term
and long-term activities.
Short-term operations restore critical services to the community, provide for the
basic needs of the community and return vital life-support systems to minimum
operating standards.
The beginning of a long-term recovery period is an opportune time to institute
mitigation measures, particularly those related to the recent emergency. Examples
of recovery actions would be temporary housing and food programs, restoration of
nonvital services, reconstruction of damaged areas, damage insurance, loans and
grants, long-term medical care, disaster unemployment insurance, public
information, health and safety education, counseling programs and economic impact
studies.
PREPARDNESS ELEMENTS
In view of the City of Carlsbad's susceptibility and vulnerability to natural disasters,
technological incidents, and nuclear defense emergencies, continuing emphasis will be
placed on: emergency planning; training of full-time auxiliary and reserve personnel; public
awareness and education; and assuring the adequacy and availability of sufficient
resources to cope with such emergencies. Emphasis will also be placed on mitigation
measures to reduce losses from disasters, including the development and enforcement of
appropriate land use, design and construction regulations (see Appendix F, Hazard
Mitigation).
SITUATION
A hazard analysis has indicated that the City of Carlsbad may be at risk to numerous
hazards associated with natural disaster, technological incidents, and nuclear defense
situations. These hazards are identified in Appendix H, Hazard Specific Situations, which
also provides general and specific information on their possible impact on this jurisdiction.

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. GENERAL
rn
The concept presented for peacetime emergencies covers the full spectrum
involvement of the emergency organization. Depending on the destructive impact
the emergency, this involvement ranges from minor to total, with the worst ca
situation being the occurrence of a major earthquake. The range of nuclear defen
emergencies progress up to and include a nuclear attack which can occur with
without warning. Because there are a number of similarities in operational concep
for peacetime emergencies and nuclear defense emergencies, they are combinl
below.
Some emergencies will be preceded by a buildup period which can provide warni
to those areas and/or population groups which might be affected. Ott
emergencies occur with little or no advance warning, thus requiring mobilization a
the situation.
All agencies must be prepared to respond promptly and effectively to a
emergency. (See Appendix E, Mutual Aid.)
In consideration of all possible disaster situations, this plan can be implemented
three periods, with related phases, as time and circumstances permit. These thr
periods are the Pre-Emergency Period, the Emergency Period and the PC
Emergenc y Period.

resources, including auxiliaries and reserves will be mobilized, Available
2. Emergency Period
The Emergency Period is divided into three phases as follows:
a. Pre-Impact Phase
Most actions to be accomplished during this phase would be centered
around taking appropriate counter measures to protect people.
Response actions could be based on developing situations associated
with a:
Slow-rise flood
Nuclear power plant incident
Hazardous materials incident
Possible dam failure
Approaching wildland fire
Short-term earthquake prediction
Actions accomplished during this phase may be concentrated on the
movement of people from identified hazard areas to safer, lower risk
areas and on providing food, lodging and shelter for the people in the
reception areas. The following would be applicable:
Warning threatened elements of the population and initiating
movement (evacuation operations) as necessary.
Advising agencies to activate resources; advising the
Operational Area Authority of emergencies; and preparing for
the application for receipt of mutual aid.
If it is determined that State and possibly Federal aid will be
needed, a LOCAL EMERGENCY will be proclaimed as described
by local ordinance and a formal request will be submitted
through Operational Area and State OES, requesting that the
Governor proclaim a STATE OF EMERGENCY.
Should the expected emergency not develop, all alerted
agencies will be promptly notified.
As provided in the California Emergency Plan, State agencies
will provide assistance to threatened or stricken areas. State
agency representatives will establish liaison with their
Operational Area counterparts to relay information and mutual
aid requests. The OES Regional Manager will coordinate intra-

b. Immediate Impact Phase
Actions taken during this phase will be concentrating on the we
being of people affected by the occurrence of an event such as
major earthquake, the release of hazardous materials, a large fire
exposure, or a nuclear attack.
One of the following conditions will apply during the lmmedia
Impact Phase. The City of Carlsbad is either:
Damaged or exposed, and the situation can be controlled by iI
place counter measures.
Damaged or exposed, and evacuation of all or part of the arc
is required because of immediate threat to public safety.
Close to the affected area, and can be called upon to provic
direct and immediate support to emergency operations in tt
affected area.
Distant from the affected area, and may be called upon '
provide back-up support. 0
Each element of the Emergency Management Organization vi
operate according to the provisions of the appropriate Chapter in tb
plan and any pertinent SOP. Priority will be given to the followir
operations:
Disseminating warning, emergency public information, ai
other advice and action instructions to the public.
Surveying and evaluating the emergency situation.
Mobilizing, allocating and positioning personnel and equipmenl
Conducting evacuation and/or rescue operations as required.
Enforcing police powers in controlling the locations ar
movement of people, establishing access controls, erectir
traffic barricades, etc.
Providing for the care and treatment of casualties.
Collecting, identifying and disposing of dead persons.
Implementing health and safety measures.

. Providing for the mass care (food, lodging, etc.) needs of
displaced persons.
Protecting, controlling and allocating vital resources.
Advising industry, school and business of possible phased
shutdowns.
Restoring or activating essential facilities and systems.
When local resources are unable to meet emergency demands, and
additional personnel, equipment or materials are needed to meet those
demands, requests for mutual aid will be initiated. Fire and law
enforcement agencies will request mutual aid through established
channels. Any action which would result in financial outlay by the
City, or a request for military assistance must be authorized by the
appropriate local official, i.e. Emergency Services Director or hidher
designee. Generally, such circumstances warrant a proclamation of
LOCAL EMERGENCY by the Emergency Services Director.
A local emergency proclamation usually results in the activation of the
local Emergency Operating Center (EOC). Appropriate positions in the
EOC will be staffed to provide support and/or direction to field
operations. Upon activation of the local EOC, the Operational Area
(County) EOC will activate for purposes of coordinating movement of
requested personnel, equipment and materials to the emergency area.
. The activation of the Operational Area EOC will cause the State to
activate the Regional Emergency Operating Center (REOC). Presently,
the REOC serving the Southern California Region is located in Los
Alamitos. The REOC will process and respond to requests for
assistance from the Operational Area by directing regional resources
to the area of the emergency.
When the REOC becomes involved in the emergency, the State
Emergency Operating Center in Sacramento is notified in the event
additional resources from other regions are needed. The Director of
the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) is notified of all
requests from local government for action by the Governor to declare
a State of Emergency. The Director advises the Governor as to the
ability of the State to provide resources to meet the demands of the
emergency or disaster. When appropriate, the Governor will act to
declare a State of Emergency and request the President of the United
States to issue an emergency or disaster declaration in order to
initiate a Federal response to the affected area.
C. Sustained Emergency Phase
As early life savings and property-protecting actions continue,
attention can be given to other priority activities. Emphasis should be
on actions to help displaced persons and secure dangerous areas.
1-6
Multi-hazard Emergency P I@ Basic Emergency PI
Activity during this phase in-cludes: more definitive medic
treatment; operation of mass care facilities; registration of displacl
persons; reuniting of family members; and detailed damal
assessment.
After the immediate needs (rescue, medical care, emergency sheltc
food and clothing) of people have been met, government actions v
be taken to fulfill their rehabilitation needs. Through coordinati
between the FCO, the SCO and the local government representativf
an adequate number of Disaster Assistance Centers (DAC) will
established and staffed by representatives of Federal, State and loc
government agencies, private organizations and representatives of t
private sector. DAC will provide disaster victims a "one-stop" servi
in meeting their emergency and/or rehabilitation needs.
e
3. Post-Emerqencv Period (Recovervl
At the earliest feasible time, the State OES Director, operating through t
designated SCO, will bring together State agency representatives, a
appropriate local, Federal, and American Red Cross officials to coordinate t
implementing of State and Federal assistance programs and establish suppl
priorities. Details, policies and procedures for rehabilitation and recovf
activities are provided in the State Disaster Assistance Procedural Man1
(published and issued separately).
Each represented agency will take action to satisfy identified recovery neec
This .action will include broad dissemination, through all available media,
guidance to the affected public as to where, when and how they may rece
assistance.
The Post-Emergency Period has major objectives which may be overlappii
(1 ) reinstatement of family autonomy; (2) provision of essential put
services; (3) permanent restoration of private and public property;
reinstatement of public services; and (5) research to uncover resid
hazards, advance knowledge of disaster phenomena and to improve ager
operations.
a
B. PEACETIME EM ERG ENCl ES
The City of Carlsbad's partial or total response to natural disasters
technology incidents will be dictated by the type and magnitude of '
emergency. Generally, response to a major peacetime emergency situat
will progress from local, to regional, to State, to Federal involvement.
For planning purposes, State OES has established three levels of emerger
response to peacetime emergencies which are based on the severity of
situation and availability of local resources: a
1-7
Basic Emergency Plan a %,ti-hazard Emergency Plar
Level I
A minor to moderate incident wherein local resources are adequate
and available. A LOCAL EMERGENCY may or may not be proclaimed.
Level II
A moderate to severe emergency wherein local resources are not
adequate and mutual aid may be required on a regional or even
statewide basis. A LOCAL EMERGENCY will be proclaimed and a
STATE OF EMERGENCY may be proclaimed.
Level Ill
A major disaster wherein resources in or near the impacted area are
overwhelmed and extensive State and/or Federal resources are
required. A LOCAL EMERGENCY and a STATE OF EMERGENCY will
be proclaimed and a Presidential Declaration of an EMERGENCY or
MAJOR DISASTER will be requested.
Specific operational concepts, including the emergency response actions of
the various elements of the Emergency Management Organization, are
reflected in Chapters in this plan.
C. NUCLEAR DEFENSE EMERGENCIES
Because of the expected serious consequences of a nuclear attack, Nuclear
Civil Protection (NCP) plans and planned responses to nuclear defense
emergencies include provisions for:
Relocating people form potential hazard areas to reception areas, if
time allows.
Identifying the best available shelter from direct weapon effects for
those people remaining in hazard areas.
Improving the fallout shelter capability in reception areas by
emergency upgrading of already existing buildings and/or by
construction of expedient emergency shelters.
Population relocation is the preferable option in a nuclear defense emergency
because of the shortage of direct effects shelters in hazard areas, but limited
warning time and other circumstances might preclude relocation to allow only
partial movement of people. In such instances, people remaining in or
authorized to commute to hazard areas will also need protection.
Operations during nuclear defense emergencies will be governed by essential
actions relating to increased readiness, relocation (if ordered and time
permits), and nuclear attack (with or without warning). Specific operational
concepts are reflected in the Annexes in this plan (Vol. 2).

STANDARDIZED -EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SEMSL
In a peace time emergency, as contrasted with a nuclear defense emergenc
governmental response is an extraordinary extension of responsibility and activi
coupled with normal day-to-day activity. To ensure continued overall effectivene
normal government structures will be maintained, with emergency operations bei
limited to those agencies assigned specific emergency functions. More important
a system, or systems, must come into being for the purpose of exercising ovei
operational control (management) or coordination of emergency operations.
Fully activated, the Standardized Emergency Management System consists of 1
Emergency Management staffs of all local jurisdictions, Operational Arc
(countywide), OES Mutual Aid Regions (two or more counties) and Stl
meet local needs. Specific staff requirements at each of the levels are indicated
Chapter 2, Managing Emergency Operations.
The utilization of all, or part, of each of the levels will be dictated by the situatii

Incident Emergency Management Systems are designed to provide
the local on-scene management of wildland fire, hazardous mate

emergencies. Such systems provide a standardized organizatio
structure of terminology and procedures. Such systems are v
flexible and adaptable to any kind of emergency managem

Basic Emergency Plan m %lti-hazard Emergency Plan
Some incidents, particularly those involving hazardous materials, can
escalate to area-wide emergencies requiring further activation of the
emergency management system. In area-wide emergencies, one or
more incident Command Posts may be established to assist in
managing emergency operations.
2. Jurisdiction Level Management
The local level of the emergency Management System consists of the
Emergency Management staffs of cities, which are responsible for
their respective jurisdictional areas, and the staffs of counties which
are responsible for the unincorporated areas of counties. Staffs of the
latter will function as staff to the Operational Area Emergency
Operating Center.
Local jurisdictions may provide overall emergency management in
three different modes:
Decentralized coordination and direction (no local EOC
activation).
Centralized coordination and decentralized direction (activation
of EOC for coordination purposes only).
Centralized coordination and direction (all activities directed
from the EOC).
Specific details about those modes are included in Chapter 2, Managing
Emergency Operations.
OPERATIONAL AREA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Section 8605 of the Emergency Services Act designates each county as an
Operational Area. Use of the Operational Area to coordinate emergency
activities and to serve as a link in the communications system is by SEMS.
When an Operational Area is activated following a disaster, a county official,
designated by county Ordinance, (CAO) will function as the Operational Area
Coordinator and will have the overall responsibility for coordinating and
supporting emergency operations within the county. The Area Coordinator
and supporting staff will constitute the Operational Area Emergency
Management Staff.
MUTUAL AID REGION EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The State of California is currently divided into three OES Mutual Aid
Regions, as shown on Figure 1 (page 1-12). Regional Managers and their

EMERGENCY RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Emergency resources management is the effective management of those available
resources deemed most essential to survival and recovery operations, particularly following
a major disaster or an attack upon the United States.
The California Emergency Resources Management Plan (published and issued separately)
presents statewide policies and guidance to local governments on the conservation,
distribution and use of resources immediately available to them, and on arranging for re-
supply of goods and services to meet local emergency needs. State officials will arrange
with industry and responsible public agencies for delivery of goods or provision of services
to meet these local shortages. These arrangements may be done directly or through
Federal agencies which may be functioning within the State. Once immediate supply
1-20

processes are underway, the State will act to assure that necessary resources are availal
and efficiently used for the duration of the emergency situation.
Poljcies and procedures relative to emergency resources management organizations\ and
operational concepts are provided in the California Emergency Management Plan and in
Annex K, Logistics.
CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
A major disaster or nuclear attack could result in great loss of life and property, the de;
or injury of key government officials, and/or the partial or complete destruction
established seats of government, and public and private records essential to contim
operations of government and industry. To help preserve law and order and
continue/restore local services, it is essential that units of local government continue
e
function during or following such situations
Government at all levels is responsible for providing continuity of effective leaderst
authority and adequate direction of emergency and recovery operations. The Califor
Government Code and the State Constitution provide legal authority for the continuity i
preservation of State and local government. Appendix C, Continuity of Governme
provides complete details on the Continuity of Government in California. A listing of *
successors to each member of the City of Carlsbad's governing body and key officials
included in Appendix C. (See page C-1.1.)
@ PUBLIC AWARENESS AND EDUCATION
The public's response to any emergency is based on an understanding of the nature of '
emergency, the potential hazards, the likely response of emergency services, :
knowledge of what individuals and groups should do to increase their chances of survi
and recovery.
Upon the proclamation of a STATE OF EMERGENCY by the Governor, State OES 1
assign a State Public Information Officer to assist in local public information efforts and
provide information that originates from the State. Similarly, in a Presidential declarati
FEMA assigns an appropriate number of Information Officers to assist State efforts and
provide Federal information. However, even the most efficient emergency informat
effort requires time to initiate, during which confusion and lack of information (
contribute to a worsening of the emergency situation and an increased burden for all arl
of emergency response.
Public awareness and education prior to any emergency are crucial to successful pu
information efforts during and after the emergency. The decision to initiate and sup^
this function must be made at the highest policy making level. The pre-disaster awaren
and education programs must be viewed as equal in importance to all other preparations
emergencies and must be well planned. These programs must be coordinated among lo
State and Federal officials to ensure their contribution to emergency preparedness
response operations. Annex L, Emergency Public Information (Vol. 21, provides emerge
'
@ public information procedures.

DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PLAN
CEMAT, the Carlsbad Emergency Management Administrative Team, is responsible for the
development and maintenance of the Multi-Hazard Emergency Plan,
The Plan is reviewed annually and revised as needed to reflect changes in legislation and/or
emergency procedufes. Copies of the Plan (and its revisions) are provided to each
department/division and kept in the EOC. When minor revisions are made, a revision list
accompanies the revised pages when distributed to the departmentsldivisions.
TRAINING, TESTS AND EXERCISES
The objective of any Emergency Management Organization is efficient and timely response
during emergencies. A good plan is a first step toward that objective. However, planning
alone will not guarantee preparedness.
Training and exercising are essential at all levels of government to ensure emergency opera-
tions personnel are prepared to handle emergencies efficiently. All emergency plans should
include provisions for training.
The best method of training a jurisdiction's staff to manage emergency operations is
through exercising. Exercises allow local personnel to become thoroughly familiar with the
procedures, facilities and systems which will actually be used in emergency situations.
Exercises can be accomplished in several forms. Table Top Exercises provide a convenient
and low cost method of introducing local officials to scenario-related problem situations for
discussion and problem solving. Such exercises are a good way to see if policies and
procedures exist to handle certain issues.
Functional exercises simulate an actual emergency. They typically involve complete
Emergency Management staffs and are designed not only to exercise procedures, but also
to test the readiness of personnel, communications, and facilities. Such exercises can be
operations.
CEMAT is responsible for the conduct of periodic exercises. The exercises consist of table
top, functional and/or full-scale and involve agencies pertinent to the disaster exercise.
Additional participants may include representatives from the local school districts, the Red
Cross, RACES, ODP, and the Coast Guard when an oil spill exercise is conducted.

ALERTING AND WARNING *
GENERAL
Warning is the process of alerting governmental forces and warning the general public
the threat of imminent extraordinary danger. Dependent upon the nature of the threat E
the population group at risk, warning can originate at any level of government.
Success in saving lives and property is dependent upon timely dissemination of warn
and emergency information to persons in threatened area. The National Warning Syst
(NAWAS) is a nationwide attack warning system developed to accomplish this task ir
war emergency. For major peacetime emergencies, portions of the NAWAS system can
used, augmented by State and local systems as appropriate. For specific information
Federal, State and Operational Area warning systems, see Volume 2, Annex A, Attachmi
C.
ATTACK WARNING SYSTEM
A. NATIONAL WARNING SYSTEM (NAWAS)
NAWAS is a dedicated wire-line system which provides two-way vo
communications between Federal Warning Centers, State Warning Points, and Lo
Warning Points. The system in California consists of four elements:
1.
2.
3. County-City warning systems.
4.
N AWAS, Fede ral-Ca lif or nia link.
NAWAS, State-County Warning Points circuits.
Local community attack warning devices, such as sirens, horns or whistles
e
B. NAWAS, FEDERAL
The system may be activated nationally from two protected Federal facilities:
1. National Warning Center (North American Air Defense Command, Color;
Springs, Colorado),
2. Alternate National Warning Center (Olney, Maryland).
C. NAWAS, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
California ties into the national system with a primary drop-out (State Warning Po
at the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) Headquarters in Sacramer
Circuits then extend to 45 County Warning Points. The California Highway Pa
Headquarters in Sacramento serves as the Alternate State Warning Point. *
Appendix D, Page 1
Multi-hazard Emergency Plan 0 Alerting and Warnin4
Both Federal and- State circuits are monitored 24 hours a day at the OES Warninc
Center, the Alternate State Warning Point and each of the local Warning Points
The 13 counties not on this system will receive warning via other means (normall)
over the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System [CLETSI).
D. COUNTY-CITY WARNING SYSTEMS
In order to disseminate warning from the County Warning Points to cities, locar
communications channels are normally used. Although the State Warning Point will
relay warnings over the CLETS, it is usually more expeditious for cities to arrange
with the County Warning Points on NAWAS for further relay of the information
within the County. This is normally via local public safety communication channels
or, in some instances, telephone.
E. WARNING DEVICES
Local government is responsible for warning the populace in the jurisdiction. This is
normally accomplished through the use of warning devices, such as sirens, whistles,
or horns, either strategically located within the community or mounted on official
vehicles. The warning devices are normally activated from a point staffed 24 hours
a day.
F, DISSEMINATION OF ATTACK WARNINGS
The Federal Warning Centers disseminate warning information to State Warning
Points over NAWAS. State Warning Points disseminate the information they receive
over NAWAS to the Local Warning Points. In addition, State agency radio systems,
teletype, and telephone circuits are used to ensure maximum dissemination. Each
Local Warning Point further disseminates the warning over local public safety
communication channels.
1. Attention or Alert Siqnal
The ATTENTION or ALERT signal is a 3 to 5 minute steady tone on sirens,
horns or other devices. The ATTENTION or ALERT signal shall mean: "An
emergency situation exists or is imminent. Listen to your local area radio or
television station for essential emergency information."
Use of this signal is optional; it may be authorized by local government to get
public attention in times of emergency.
2. Attack Warninq Siqnal
The ATTACK WARNING signal is a 3 to 5 minute wavering tone on sirens or
a series of short blasts on horns or other devices, repeated as often as
indicated over the National Warning System or as deemed necessary by local
government authorities.
Appendix D, Page 2
Multi-hazard Emergency P l? Alerting and Warn
The ATTACK WARNING signal indicates that an actual attack against t
country has been detected. THIS SIGNAL WILL BE USED FOR NO OTH
PURPOSE AND WILL HAVE NO OTHER MEANING. Everyone should t:
immediate action and listen to the area Emergency Broadcast System ra
station for subsequent instructions.
The signal is appropriate for the initial attack warning and such subsequi
attack warnings as may be required.
e
3. Testinq Local Warninq Systems
With prior public notice, local warning devices may be tested to assure tt
are operating properly and that the emergency warning signals will
recognized by the public.
PEACETIME EMERGENCY WARNING SIGNALS
A. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS AND WARNING ATTACKS
Methods of warning State and local governments of specific emergency conditic
are described below:
1. Seismic Sea Wave (Tsunami)
The NAWAS is an integral part of the tsunami altering system. Reports
major earthquakes occurring at any point in the Pacific Basin, which n
generate seismic sea waves, are transmitted to the Honolulu Observatory
evaluation.
The Observatory staff determines action to be taken and relays it over
NAWAS circuits to inform and warn West Coast states. The State NAW
circuit is used to relay the information to local Warning Points in coa:
counties. This same information is also transmitted to local jurisdictions o
appropriate radio systems, teletype and telephone circuits to ens
maximum dissemination.
A Tsunami Watch Bulletin is issued if an earthquake has occurred in
Pacific Basin and could cause a tsunami. A Tsunami Warning Bulletir
issued when an earthquake has occurred and a tsunami is smeading acr
the Pacific Ocean. When a threat no longer exists, a Cancellation Bulletii
issued.
ab
2. Flood
A flood emergency is normally preceded by a buildup period which perr
marshaling of forces as required to combat the emergency. During
buildup period, OES cooperates with the National Weather Service and
State Department of Water Resources by relaying pertinent weal
areas.
information and river bulletins to local government officials in the affec a
Appendix D, Page 3
Multi-hazard Emergency Plan Alerting and Warning
OES receives this information over selected circuits and relays it to OES
Regions via the OES private line teletype system and to local governments
via CLETS.
3. - Fire
Initial warnings of major conflagrations are normally issued by the affected
area through the Operational Area and/or OES Regional Fire Coordinator,
using whatever means of communications are appropriate and available.
Requests for mutual aid follow the same channels.
4. Eart haua ke
Earthquakes occur without warning. OES could receive notification of an
earthquake, as well as subsequent information, including damage reports
from various sources, such as:
1 .
3. Loca I Governments
4. FederalEtate agencies
5. Honolulu Observatory
The information may be received via NAWAS, radio, teletype and/or
telephone and would be further disseminated as appropriate using any or all
of these means. The State Warning Center has a seismic alarm system that
activ.ates during earthquakes prompting duty personnel to investigate the
disturbance.
5. Other Emergencies

MUTUAL AID
e
INTRODUCTION
The foundation of California's emergency planning and response is a statewide mutual
system which is designed to ensure that adequate resources, facilities and other suppor
provided to jurisdictions whenever their own resources prove to be inadequate to cope v\
a given situation(s). The basis for the system is the California Disaster and Civil Defei
Master Mutual Aid Agreement (see Attachment E-I), as provided for in the Califori
California's incorporated cities and by all 58 counties. It created a formal structure wit
which each jurisdiction retains control of its own personnel and facilities but can give E
receive help whenever it is needed. State government, on the other hand, is obligated
provide available resources to assist local jurisdictions in emergencies.
To facilitate the coordination and flow of mutual aid, the State has been divided into th
Office of Emergency Services (OES) Mutual Aid Regions (see map in Basic Plan, pages
12). Through this mutual aid system, State OES can receive a constant flow of informat
from every geographic and organizational area of the State. This includes dir
notification from a State agency or department or from a local government official tha
disaster exists or is imminent. In some cases, it also includes information that make:
possible to anticipate an emergency and mitigate its effects by accelerated preparations
perhaps prevent a situation from developing to disaster proportions.
To further facilitate the mutual aid process, particularly during day-to-day emergenc
involving public safety agencies, Fire and Rescue and Law Enforcement Coordinators he
been selected and function at the Operational Area (countywide), Mutual Aid Region (t!
or more counties), and at the State (OESI level. It is expected that during a catastrop'
event, such as an earthquake, Coordinators will be assigned at all levels for other esseni
services (e.g., Medical, Care and Shelter, Rescue, etc.).

HAZARD MITIGATION
a
PURPOSE
This section establishes actions, policies and procedures for implementing Section 4
(Minimum Standards for Public and Private Structures) of the Federal Disaster Relief Acl
1974 (Public Law 93-288) following a Presidentially declared Emergency or a Mi
Disaster. It also assigns hazard mitigation responsibilities to various elements of Fede
State and local governments in California.
AUTHORITIES AND REFERENCES
Activities enumerated in this document will be conducted in accordance with the enabl
legislation, plans, and agreements listed in Appendix A Authorities and References.
GENERAL
Section 406 of Public Law 93-288 (see Attachment F-I) requires, as a condition
receiving Federal disaster aid, that repairs and reconstruction be done in accordance VI
applicable codes, specifications and standards. It also requires that the State or IC
government recipient of Federal aid evaluate the natural hazards of the area in which
aid is to be used, and take action to mitigate them, including safe land use i
construction practices.
To be effective, hazard mitigation actions must be taken in advance of a disast
strikes, mitigation opportunities exist only for the next disaster, and even thc
opportunities are often needlessly limited by the absence of advance plannii
Nevertheless, the immediate post-disaster period does not present special opportunities

IMPLEMENTATION
A. FEDERALETATE AGREEMENT
Following each Presidentially declared Emergency or Major Disaster, the Regional
Director of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Governor's
Authorized Representative (GAR) execute a document called the FederaVState
Agreement. This Agreement includes appropriate provisions for hazard mitigation.
Under the "typical paragraph" (See Attachment F-2) set out to serve this purpose,
the State agrees to:
Evaluate or have the applicant evaluate the natural hazards in the disaster
area, and make appropriate recommendations to mitigate them.
Follow up with applicants to ensure that the appropriate hazard mitigation
actions are taken.
Follow up with applicants to ensure that the appropriate hazard mitigation
plan or plans are developed and submitted to the FEMA Regional Director for
concurrence.
Review and update as necessary disaster mitigation portions of emergency
plans.
B. JOINT FEDERALETATELOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION TEAM
The FEMA-Regional Director and the GAR appoint a Federal and State Hazard
Mitigation Coordinator (HMC), respectively; the local applicant designates a local
HMC. These individuals will constitute the Hazard Mitigation Team which will:
Identify significant hazards in the affected areas giving priority to disaster-
related hazards.
Evaluate impacts of these hazards and measures which will mitigate their
impacts.
Recommend appropriate hazard mitigation measures.
Appendix F, Page 2
Multi-hazard Emergency PLI Hazard Mitigation
C. HAZARD MITIGATION PLANS
The Hazard Mitigation Team also prepares a Hazard Mitigation Plan which is
submitted to the FEMA Regional Director through the GAR within 180 days after a
Presidential declaration. The objectives of the Plan are to:
Recommend hazard mitigation measures for local, State and Federal agencies.
Establish short and long term planning frameworks for implementation of hazard
mitigation efforts.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. OBJECTIVES
The identification of hazards following an Emergency or Major Disaster and
accomplishment of appropriate hazard mitigation measures are the short-term
planning objectives to be required by the FederaKtate Agreement. The FEMA
Regional Director and the GAR shall ensure compliance with these objectives as
conditions for Federal loans or grants.
B. SURVEYS
Each applicant is expected to use its resources and capabilities as necessary to
perform emergency work such as debris removal or emergency measures to save
lives, to protect public health and safety or to protect property, before requesting
assistance from State or Federal government.
Local, State and Federal preliminary damage assessments may identify major
hazards and opportunities for hazard mitigation activities prior to a declaration of
Major Disaster or Emergency.
Damage Survey Reports (DSR) shall include identification of hazards and shall
recommend mitigation measures to be incorporated into the repair work.
The FederaVState Hazard Mitigation Team shall review applicable land use
regulations, construction standards, and other appropriate hazard mitigation
measures. Utilizing information from preliminary damage assessments, DSRs and all
other readily available pertinent information, the team shall visit the sites. For each
identified significant hazard the team shall include appropriate recommendations of
hazard mitigation measures in its final report.
Appendix F, Page 3
Hazard Mitigation w wulti-hazard Emergency Plan
C. PLANS
For each hazard-prone area, the FederaVState Hazard Mitigation Team shall review
and evaluate existing local and/or State emergency plans for hazard mitigation. In
cases where no plans for hazard mitigation exist or are inadequate, the team shall
report its findings and recommendations concerning specific needs to develop or
improve, as required, and maintain hazard mitigation plans.
Existing local and State hazard mitigation plans shall be updated and new ones
developed as deemed necessary by the FEMA Regional Director in consultation with
the GAR. In determining whether to impose such a requirement on a local
jurisdiction, consideration shall be given to the opportunities for effective hazard
mitigation, size and composition of the local jurisdiction, local government's
authority to regulate land use and constructive practices and the local government's
exercise of such authority.
The GAR and/or FEMA Regional Director may provide technical advice and
assistance to State agencies or to local governments in developing new plans or
updating existing plans to mitigate hazards identified as the result of the Major
Disaster or Emergency within affected areas.
D. MAPPING
The FederaEtate Hazard Mitigation Team shall verify the impact of the major
disaster on disaster frequencies computed prior to the Major Disaster and shall
consider the advisability of redefining boundaries of high hazard areas as a result of
their findings. The team shall make recommendations to the FEMA Regional Director
and the GAR on any needs for new mapping or re-mapping of high hazard areas.

INTRODUCTION
This enclosure establishes the basic operational concepts, responsibilities and techniques
support governmental efforts to save lives and minimize radiation effects in the event of
emergency involving radioactive materials associated with nuclear power plant accider
hazardous materials incidents and fallout following a nuclear attack. It describes a syst
which consists of radiation monitoring to detect, measure and report radiation intensit
and the related staff actions to receive, analyze and evaluate the information which co
be used by decision-making officials in determining appropriate countermeasures
minimize personal exposure.
SITUATION
A. NUCLEAR DEFENSE EMERGENCIES
Any area of the State could experience the effects of fallout following a nucll
attack. The extent and intensity of fallout will depend on the number of weapc
used; their distribution, yield and altitude of detonation; the composition of buildir
or surface under the burst: surrounding topography; and the weather.
Fallout emits ionizing radiation which could cause numerous casualties, reduce 1
vigor of exposed persons, prevent andlor delay post-attack emergency operatic
and deny use of some areas and vital facilities.
Reduction of these consequences will depend on government's capability to dete
measure and report levels of fallout radiation; and the capability to receive, evalu
and disseminate this information to those in jeopardy.
a
B. PEACETIME EMERGENCIES
The widespread and rapidly increasing industrial and commercial use a
transportation of radioactive materials have increased the possibility of radiologil
accidents. Accidents may occur in facilities where radioactive materials are ust
processed or stored and during transportation. An accident at a commercial nuclf
power reactor would, for example, represent a threat to public health and safety
people residing near these facilities. The transportation of radioactive materials
many of the nation's highways and railroads extends this hazard to ma
communities. Peacetime accidents involving radiological materials are likely to
confined to a relatively small area, and local officials can reasonably expect
receive State and Federal assistance after the accident.

Appendix G, Page 1
Radiological Protection m multi-hazard Emergency Plai
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. NUCLEAR DEFENSE EMERGENCIES
Radiological protection operations will incorporate fallout shelters as a surviva
countermeasure to be employed during and after an attack. Radiological protectior
system preparations required for support operations during nuclear defensf
emergencies include provisions for:
0 Relocating trained Radiological Monitors (RM) and,resources.
Accelerating RM training during the crisis. 0
* Procuring and redistributing radiological monitoring system.
0 Developing a State aerial monitoring and reporting system.
Transferring direction of related State monitoring resources temporarily to loca
government at time of attack.
Preparing detailed procedures for short and long-term recovery.
0
0
During and immediately following an attack, it will be necessary to adopt new
radiological protection system operating procedures. Since electromagnetic pulse
(EMP) will disable and/or seriously disrupt a major portion of existing
communications systems, State government may not be able to maintain a State-
wide fixed station RM reporting network. To overcome this problem, State and
local radiological monitoring procedures must provide for transferring direction of all
relocated State monitoring resources, except aerial, to local emergency
organizations.
Immediately following an attack, Office .of Emergency Services (OES) Mutual Aid
Region EOC will initiate aerial monitoring of all populated areas and transportation
corridors connecting those areas; staff in the State Emergency Operation Center
(EOC) will coordinate this program. When communications are restored, the State's
ground monitoring system will be reestablished to provide more detailed radiological
information to permit the State to direct recovery operations. When able, the State
will resume management of the State Monitoring Network.
To meet a continuing requirement, RM training will continue during the recovery
period. Personnel will be recruited and trained to implement a radiological
environment survey and assessment program. State government will direct this
program with local assistance.
Appendix G, Page 2
Multi-hazard Emergency P @ Radiologiwal Protect
B. PEACETIME EMERGENCIES
Peacetime radiological accident response requires local jurisdictions provide a
minimum:
0
0 Arranging for medical assistance.
0
e
Training for first response personnel.
Arranging or providing technical assistance.
ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Since response to an emergency involving radiation imposes unique requirements
government agencies and the private sector, it will be necessary to employ: all avail?
trained manpower with emergency capability or potential; a functional organizatio
structure consolidating several independent agencies under a single chief; and spec
purpose units to perform unique functions.
The Local Emergency Management Organization will have an appropriately trair
Radiological Officer (RO), and any required assistants, on the staff. These personnel \
coordinate and/or direct all monitoring operations within the jurisdiction.
A. LOCAL
The local RO will be responsible for: e
1, Receiving and evaluating reports from monitoring stations,
2. Analyzing radiological information.
3.
4.
5. Providing, through coordination with the Jurisdiction Public lnformat
Officer (PIO), inputs for emergency radiation protection advice, informat
and instructions to the public.
Recommending effective countermeasures to the EOC staff.
Compiling and transmitting radiological data to the Operational Area RO.
B. OPERATIONAL AREA
The Operational Area RO will be responsible for:
1. Compiling and transmitting operational information and situation intelligenc
summaries (including radiological information) to the OES Mutual Aid Reg
and Jurisdiction.
Coordinating with the Operational Area PI0 to advise the public about
radiological situation.
2. a
Appendix G, Page 3
Radiological Protection %lti-hazard Emergency Plan
C. OES MUTUAL AID REGION
The OES Mutual Aid Region will function as an intermediate coordinating level
between the Operational Areas and the State EOC. The Mutual Aid Region RO will
be responsible for compiling and transmitting operational information and situation
intelligence summaries (including radiological information) to the State RO and to
Operational Areas within the Region.
D. STATE
Radiological protection operations will be accomplished under the direction of the
State RO (State Office of Emergency Services) as described below:
1. Provides for RO and RM training for State and local jurisdictions,
2. Provides monitor equipment maintenance support to State agencies and local
jurisdictions.
Manages the State Monitoring Network.
Evaluates monitor data and advises those concerned with damage
assessment and fallout agencies.
3.
4.
5. Disseminates radiological intelligence.
6.
7. Coordinates radiological recovery operations.
Provides technical guidance on radiological countermeasures.
RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Should a nuclear attack occur, systems for monitoring, reporting and assessing fallout
radiation and other effects of the attack (fires, damage, etc.) will be required to support all
levels. The radiological protection systems will provide local authorities the information
needed to select and direct actions to respond to the threats posed by the local situation,
and will provide higher levels of control with the information needed to coordinate response
actions throughout larger areas. Components of these systems, with some variation, can
be used during peacetime emergencies. The major components and functions of the
planned systems for monitoring, reporting and assessing radiation are summarized below:
A. RADIOLOGICAL OFFICERS (RO)
Trained RO will be required on the staff of every EOC. Their function will be to
obtain, analyze and evaluate reports of radiation, assess the threats associated with
the local situation and recommend appropriate actions to limit exposures to radiation
and other reported threats.
Appendix G, Page 4
Multi-hazard Emergency P @ Radiological Protect
B. MONITORING AND REPORTING
Radiological monitoring and reporting are an integral part of radiological protectit
authorities for use in selecting countermeasures to minimize exposure to individua
1. Monitoring Stations
e
The primary purpose is to detect, measure and report radiation intensities
Monitoring stations are manned by trained personnel with radiation detect
equipment and have, in most cases, communication with the EOC.
2. Aerial Monitorinq
Following a nuclear attack, aerial monitoring will be used to survey fall
deposited over wide areas and on transportation routes.
Surface or Area MonitorinQ (Mobile Monitorinql
This method is suitable only when intensities are low enough to per1
sufficient unsheltered stay times to obtain detailed radiological measuremei
to augment and refine data from monitor stations and aerial monitoring.
3.
4. Fallout Shelter Monitorinq
Following a nuclear attack, an in-shelter radiological survey capability give
Fallout Shelter Manager information about a fallout shelter facility, i
adjacent areas, needed to control exposure and make the best use of she1
space. Such monitoring data can also be used to augment monitor stat
reports. Development of a shelter monitoring capability is the responsibi
of local jurisdictions.
0
5. Self-SuDDort (Self-Protection) Monitorinq
Monitoring for use in protecting personnel performing vital emergen
functions in EOCs, hospitals, power plants, water works and radio stations
termed self-support monitoring. This monitoring permits control of radiati
exposures of operating personnel and indicates protected areas to be used
off-shift personnel. Training these RM is the responsibility of lo
jurisdictions and/or the agencies involved.
6. EmerGencv Workers
Personnel engaged in emergency traffic control, debris clearance, decc
tamination, and RM supporting these operations need dosimeters to rea
and control their exposure doses. Emergency worker dosimeters have be
distributed; care and maintenance thereof is the responsibility of lo e jurisdictions.
Appendix G, Page 5
Radiological Protection w %lti-hazard Emergency Plan
Responsible officials must make appropriate decisions prior to permitting RM
or emergency workers (fire, police, etc.) to conduct emergency operations
under conditions where radiation is present. The following criteria, which is
presented in terms of accumulated radiation (r) for the length of time
indicated may be utilized to determine the maximum exposure permitted for
such personnel:
50r - Any one day
150r - Any one week
200r - Any one month
300r - Any four months.
C. SITU AT1 0 N I NTELLl G EN C E
EOC at each level of government must have adequate facilities and be staffed with
trained RO to receive, analyze, evaluate and display radiation data and to
recommend countermeasures to heads of government.
ENV I R 0 N M ENTAL HEALTH
It is of paramount importance that the biological effects of radiation on the
population be minimized. In addition to emergency measures to control radiation
exposure, a radiation health program to protect people from long-term effects of
ingested radio-nuclides will be established by the State Department of Health
Services.
D.
E. TRAINING
Technical training in radiological protection principles and techniques is necessary to
supply personnel for the monitoring and reporting system, situation intelligence staff
(including RO) and environmental health programs. Training is a cooperative effort
between OES and local governments.
RESOURCES AND SUPPORTING SYSTEMS
A. RADIOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT
OES procures radiation detection and measuring instruments from the Federal
government and distributes them in various combinations (kits) to State agencies
and local governments having trained personnel. OES also maintains and calibrates
this equipment.
Radiation detection instruments have been issued to qualified State and local
agencies for ground monitoring stations, fallout shelters, key facilities and aerial
are stockpiled for emergency workers. Equipment - such as remote reading survey
meters for use in protected locations and for mobile surface monitoring or aerial
monitoring - is available to qualified applicants.
COM M U Nl CAT1 ONS
The collection and dissemination of radiological data and advisories are high priority
messages. All available surviving communications systems will be used, including

SAN DIEGO COUNTY SEISMIC HAZARD
The following information is paraphrased from a report entitled "Forecast Modified Merc
Shaking intensity Maps - Their Generation and Uses with Application to the Two Postula
Earthquakes - San Diego Area", June, 1984. This report was written by Michael Reic
and James Kahle and sponsored by the California Department of Conservation, Divisior
Mines and Geology.
Historically, the San Diego County area has been relatively free of damage produc
earthquakes. Moderate to large events which have occurred along faults in eastern !
Diego and Imperial Counties and in Baja California Norte have inflicted only minor daml
to metropolitan San Diego and Tijuana. In this century, only minor earthquakes h,
occurred along the faults which pass through, or near, the greater San Diego ar
including the Rose Canyon and Coronado Bank Fault Zones (Figure 5). These fau
however, are the closest to the Carlsbad area, and are the most likely to cause mi
damage should a significant seismic event occur.

The earliest recorded damaging earthquake in the San Diego area was an earthquake of
estimated >6.5 on the Richter Scale, on November 22, 1800, which damaged both 1
San Diego and San Juan Capistrano missions. Obviously, epicenters and the causat
faults will never be accurately known. From the damage reports, however, the epicenti
and magnitudes for many pre- instrumental earthquakes can be approximated. Table 1 Ii

appear to have occurred along or west of the Elsinore fault. Included in this list are sew
events from Baja California and from offshore faults.

POSTULATED EARTHQUAKES
To assist local disaster preparedness planners and to emphasize the need for individu:
preparedness, the California Division of Mines and Geology has forecast the intensit
distribution in San Diego County which could result from a postulated earthquake assume
to occur along either of two prominent faults within the San Diego area; the Rose Canyo
and the offshore Coronado Bank fault. Each scenario earthquake is near the maximur
credible magnitude for the particular fault zone which is estimated to be 7 on the Richte
Scale of magnitude. The predicated intensities as measured by the Modified Mercalli Scale
Table 10, are intended for emergency planning purposes only and should not be used fo
land-use decisions. They do, however, assist in identifying areas of particular vulnerabilitf
to these, or to smaller earthquakes. Predicted intensities based on various scenaric
earthquakes will help identify vulnerable lifelines and areas susceptible to high levels o
structural damage from ground shaking or ground failure.
The report by Reichle and Kahle continues with analyses of two postulated "worst case
earthquakes - one the Rose Canyon fault zone and another along the Coronado Bank faul
zone. The magnitudes of these events, 6.9 and 7.2 respectively, are assumed to producc
damage similar to the most damaging historical California earthquakes of similar size
Figure 3 shows a simplified version of the ground shaking intensity map for the Rost
Canyon fault zone postulated earthquake. Intensity IX's may be experienced in westerr
Mission Valley, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, coastal La Jolla, Soledad (Sorrento Valley) anc
coastal North County from Del Mar to Cardiff-by-the-Sea. The remainder of coasta
metropolitan San Dieao plus the alluvial areas of El Cajon, Santee, Poway, Escondido anc
San Marcos experience Intensity Vlll. The intensity estimates should not be taken as the
"end product" of a vulnerability analysis. They should, instead, be combined witi-
demographic data such as the distributions of population and building types to produce
estimates of maximum damage distribution. This along with evaluation of lifeline
performances, would be used to generate emergency response plans and training scenarios.
A more probable earthquake rather than a "worst case", should be used in land use and
earthquake recovery planning.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INCIDENT 0
A. GENERAL SITUATION
The release of a hazardous material to the environment could cause a multitude of proble
that can be discussed in a general manner. The significance of the problems to .
environment, property or human health is dependent on the type, location and quantity
material released, Although hazardous material incidents can happen almost anywhf
certain areas of the State are at higher risk. Jurisdictions near roadways that are frequer
used for transporting hazardous materials and jurisdictions with industrial facilities that u
store or dispose of such materials all have increased potential for major mishaps as
jurisdictions crossed by certain railways, waterways, airways and pipelines.
Releases of explosive and highly flammable materials have caused fatalities and injuri
necessitated large scale evacuations and destroyed millions of dollars worth of propel
response teams and passersby. When toxic materials have entered either surface or grot
water supplies, serious health effects have resulted. Releases of hazardous chemicals ht
been especially damaging when they have occurred in highly populated areas or alc
heavily traveled transportation routes.
B. CITY OF CARLSBAD RISK
There has been a sharp increase in the reported number of hazardous material incident:
the City of Carlsbad. This is mainly due to greater governmental controls and an enhanc
awareness on the part of both the general public and the local community emergei
services.
The potential for accidents involving hazardous materials exists primarily throi
transportation accidents of surface and rail vehicles. Accidents may also involve airci
carrying hazardous materials in general over flights or when landing or taking off
McClellan-Palomar Airport. An incident could occur while spraying with agriculti
material incidents. Additionally, the illegal storage and dumping of hazardous materials
continue to present problems for the City of Carlsbad.
In most cases, these incidents will be local in nature and will not create widespread efff
However, hazardous materials can enter rivers, creeks, streams, lakes, storm and sew
drains or the atmosphere affecting several jurisdictions.
A gasoline spill that once was regarded as a simple washdown is now a hazardous mat€
incident that may require the coordinated efforts of several City departments or agencie:
abate and control the emergency. The City of Carlsbad departments primarily involve(
the response to these incidents are the Fire Department, Police Department and Streets.
From a simple gasoline spill to a major disaster, the needed interaction on the part of IC
agencies is best done by incident analysis of designated responsibilities. For example
gasoline spill may require diking for containment, controlling the source of the le

applying a foam blanket over the gasoline to prevent ignition, neutralizing or absorbing thc
product, controlling crowds and traffic, evacuating endangered areas and cleaning up an(
decontaminating all equipment used. Other actions might include the rendering of first ai(
if the spill were the result of a vehicle accident; the extinguishing of a fire if the fuel werc
ionited: the rerouting of traffic: and, the eventual disposing of the neutralized or absorbec
product. A major incident would necessitate the use of County, State, Federal and privatc
sector resources and could involve as many as twenty different agencies to safely anc
properly handle a large scale incident.
Other than the minor incident (such as a small gasoline spill), all hazardous materia
incidents should be handled as if the potential for personal injury were at its rnaximur
level. The decision whether or not to risk the lives of any personnel should be made onlj
after proper identification of the material involved and analysis of the total situation. The
Incident Commander should always keep in mind that what might outwardly appear to be z
stable incident can rapidly deteriorate into serious proportions and thereafter into a ful
scale disaster.

APPENDIX H- PART 3 a FLOODING
A. GENERAL SITUATION
Floods are generally classed as either slow-rise or flash floods. Slow-rise floods may
preceded by a warning time lasting from hours to days, or possibly weeks. Evacuation a
sandbagging for a slow-rise flood may lessen flood related damage, Conversely, fla
floods are the most difficult to prepare for, due to the extremely short warning time, if a
is given at all. Flash flood warnings usually require immediate evacuation within the hour
Once flooding begins, personnel will be needed to assist in rescuing persons trapped
flood water, securing utilities, cordoning off flooded areas and controlling traffic. The
actions may overtax local agencies requiring additional personnel and resources. It
anticipated that existing mutual aid resources would be used as necessary to augment lo1
resources.
B. CITY OF CARLSBAD RISK
During the past several years, winter storm activity has resulted in some property dam:
along Carlsbad's coastline. Should a large storm combine with a period of high t
activity, the potential for severe property damage and, perhaps, some loss of life
possible.
Normal storm activity, and even heavy storm activity, has not resulted in major flood
over any other significant areas in Carlsbad in recent years.
The sections of the City of Carlsbad that are most prone to flooding are illustrated on N

Southern California is known to have the fastest burning ground cover in the
world. Add to this the weather condition known as "Santa Ana" which
causes high temperatures and low humidity, and all of the elements for a
disastrous wildfire are present.
History has shown that many destructive wildfires have occurred throughout
the Western United States. In particular, many in the Southern California
area which have resulted in huge property loss, and in some cases, death.
As the wildland-urban interface increases, so does the potential for other
destructive wildfires.
CARLSBAD'S SITUATION
Due to the growth of the central part of the City over the past years, many
of the once potentially hazardous areas of natural growth have been
eliminated. There remain, however, some areas in the various parts of the
City that must be considered at risk under the right weather conditions,
particularly older residential areas bordering on canyons or slopes which bear
a moderate to heavy fuel load, including those structures which are in close
proximity to natural fuels.
Carlsbad's on-going weed abatement program and non-combustible roof
ordinance have done much to reduce the risk. Under extreme weather
conditions, the potential for a disastrous wildfire exists.
