11 CITY OF SAN LEANDRO EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN • Functional Annexes: Published separately, functfonal annexes build on concepts from the EOP by detailing the responsibilitfes, tasks, and actfons related to implementfng a specific emergency functfon (e.g., sheltering, evacuatfon). • Hazard-Specific Annexes: Published separately, hazard-specific annexes build on concepts from the EOP by detailing the responsibilitfes, tasks, and actfons related to responding to a specific hazard or threat (e.g., wildfire, earthquake). • Standard Operating Procedures (SOP): Published separately, SOPs support the executfon of the EOP and associated annexes by providing step-by-step instructfons and details specific to the roles and responsibilitfes of individual departments. SOPs may include checklists, appendices, and resource guides as additfonal documentatfon. • Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP): Published separately, the LHMP identffies community-level policies and actfons to mitfgate and reduce the impacts of natural hazards. The LHMP forms the foundatfon for San Leandro’s long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses. The Alameda County Operatfonal Area (OA) EOP can be referenced for functfonal or hazard-specific annexes not included in San Leandro’s planning documents. 1.3. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS Certain planning assumptfons were considered during the development of the EOP. These assumptfons translate into basic principles associated with conductfng emergency management operatfons in preparatfon for, response to, and recovery from major emergencies. Assumptfons provide context, requirements, and situatfonal realitfes that must be addressed in plan development and emergency operatfons. The following assumptfons were considered when developing the City of San Leandro EOP: • A major disaster or significant incident can occur at any tfme or place. Disseminatfon of warning to the public and implementatfon of readiness measures may be possible. However, emergencies may develop with little or no warning. • All departments, agencies, and personnel responding to an incident will do so in a manner consistent with SEMS and NIMS, and all response actfvitfes will occur at the lowest possible level of government. • The City of San Leandro is primarily responsible for emergency actfons within the City boundaries and will commit all available resources to save lives, minimize injury to persons, and reduce property damage. • Large-scale incidents may overburden local resources and necessitate mutual aid from neighboring jurisdictfons, understanding that mutual aid resources may not be available. • The City of San Leandro will exhaust or expect to soon exhaust all local resources before requestfng outside assistance. • Large-scale incidents and the complex response organizatfonal structure required pose significant challenges regarding warning, logistfcs, and agency coordinatfon. • Strategic decisions when responding to large-scale or complex will consider long-term threats to public health, property, the environment, and the local economy. • Policies and plans can have unintended or adverse impacts. This EOP aims to limit these impacts and create a culture that allows for diversity, equity, and inclusion through all aspects of emergency management in the City of San Leandro.
