3 Emergency Activation The County EOC will activate when: A City activates its EOC and requests support from the Operational Area Two or more cities have proclaimed a local emergency The County proclaims a local emergency Size - 4,083 sq mi Population ~12m Terrain & climate: 9 feet below sea level to 10,080 feet. Coastal plain, valleys, mountains, high desert. Flat land - 1,741 square miles. Annual mean temperature 66 degrees F. Annual average precipitation inches. Standard Systems Because California commonly experiences disasters where we need assistance from other jurisdictions, it was only logical that the State was the first in the nation to develop a comprehensive and standard approach to emergency response and relief. Incident Command System Standardized Emergency Management System Mutual Aid Agreement 3

4 LA Operational Area Cities 88 Unincorporated Areas 137+ School Districts 100+ Special Districts 200+ Non-Governmental Organizations Non-profits Businesses County Only Services Jails Social Services Child Protective Services Health Services Public Health Services (except Long Beach & Pasadena) District Attorney Coroner Mental Health Assessor Courts * Unique to LA County Disaster Management Areas Once called Civil Defense Areas the concept has existed since the 1940 s Each of the eight Areas (A-H) has a full or part-time professional emergency manager who coordinates emergency planning, preparedness and recovery efforts on behalf of their cities. 4

5 Mutual Aid in California Based on the Master Mutual Aid Agreement. Agreement was signed in 1950 by the State, all counties and most cities; now part of State law. Specially written agreements for assistance are not necessary. Called for developing plans to mobilize both public and private resources. No party is required to unreasonably deplete its own resources. Before you ask for resources you have to reasonably commit your own. Free to the requesting agency. * California is now part of state-to-state assistance compact that allows us to assist other states, and accept assistance from other states.
