File Number: 12-320 <br />1. Self Introductions <br />Members of the Disaster Council introduced themselves and the agencies they represent. <br />2. Report on the March 16 EOC Exercise <br />Kathy Ornelas described the goals and intent of the March 16 Emergency Operations <br />Center (EOC) Exercise. It was not a fully functioning event and was a 'surprise' to City <br />staff when activated. In short, it was to be a reporting and set-up event to see if the <br />communication system was working and to verify the timing to set up an EOC. The <br />facilities staff was able to arrive within seven minutes and initiate. Overall, the exercise <br />was a success and staff learned some operational lessons for the future (e.g., the phones <br />may need to be re -booted). There was also a brief discussion on water supply and <br />distribution; East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) has developed a plan for mass <br />quantities of potable water. There was a good facilitation by Dave Rocha, Alameda <br />County Fire Department (ACFD). <br />The next exercise will be organized by the ACFD in 2013. It will be an active 'table top' <br />event. This event is part of the statewide Golden Guardian exercise. Marla Blagg, ACFD, <br />stated that it is still in the planning stages and that the event will be focused on the Bay <br />Area region. <br />The Committee members discussed the need for position training prior to the larger event <br />exercise and the need for staff to be updated with any new information. It was suggested <br />that a smaller staff training occur prior to this event; it was also suggested to have a <br />training that includes San Leandro Hospital and other related agencies to test <br />communication systems. It was also stated that an Urban Shield event will be held in <br />October of this year and will be using the San Leandro's Incident Command Center. Staff <br />stated that, as a reminder, Urban Shield is a public safety -based response event, not an <br />earthquake or EOC testing event for City staff and agencies. <br />3. Transition of EOC Management Duties to Alameda County Fire Department <br />ACFD Chief Sheldon Gilbert stated that the EOC responsibilities would now be with ACFD <br />and that they would be taking a greater role. This is due to the changes in staffing within <br />the City Manager's Office. Jacqui Diaz will serve as the liaison with ACFD. With regards <br />to contacts and lists, Marla Blagg mentioned that an emergency card for resources has <br />been developed and will be brought to a future meeting. <br />4. Goal Setting for 2012 Based on Brainstorming from January's Meeting <br />At the January 2012 Disaster Council meeting, a list of potential work projects had been <br />"brainstormed." A prioritizing exercise was done with that list; the results are attached. <br />There was some discussion to have the goals include a partial EOC exercise in 2013 and <br />a full EOC in 2014; the work plan developed from the prioritizing exercise could help <br />develop a calendar for the next three years. Staff will continue to coordinate the calendar <br />and exercises through ACFD. <br />City of San Leandro Page 2 Printed on 611212012 <br />
