2. Agenda • Introductions • Project Background • Plan of Attack • Action Item

3. Introductions • The Tetra Tech project team • Ross Berman (PM) • Strategic planning for natural disaster, terrorism and man-made threats related to local and statewide hazard mitigation plan development • Jerry Monier • Former Sheriff’s Lieutenant and State Public Health Emergency Preparedness Manager with experience in the emergency planning field; recent experience with Hurricane Katrina • Other project support staff and a pool of over 1,000 experienced Tetra Tech professionals

4. Planning and Mitigation 2004 Summer Olympics Security Support and Super Bowl Extensive local and multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation planning CBRNE assessment, protection, response, and recovery HLS grant administration and support Exercise and training solutions Critical infrastructure assessment, design, and system integration First responder planning and assessment Port of San Diego vulnerability assessment Development of multi-jurisdiction mutual aid agreements Response and Recovery World Trade Center (1993 and 2001) and Pentagon attack response 2001 U.S. Capital Building anthrax response Since 1995 first emergency responder for U.S. EPA in 8 of 10 Regions for man-made and natural disasters Space Shuttle Challenger disaster recovery Mobilizing dozens of people to Mississippi/Louisiana for Hurricane Katrina response Tetra Tech’s Emergency Response and Homeland Security Related Experience

5. Federal Emergency Preparedness Guidance “To engage Federal, State, local, and tribal entities, their private and nongovernmental partners, and the general public to achieve and sustain risk-based target levels of capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major events in order to minimize the impact on lives, property, and the economy. -- Interim National Preparedness Goal March 31, 2005

6. Project Background • Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Response Assessment • Strategic and Tactical Plan for Homeland Security

7. Project Vision • “What is the current level of preparedness?” • “How prepared does the Operational Area need to be?” • “How should the Operational Area prioritize efforts to close the gap between where they are and where they need to be?”

8. Scope of Study Area • Contra Costa Operational Area • Cooperative interagency and interdisciplinary effort led by public safety agencies to improve preparedness throughout the area. • Includes County agencies, 19 municipalities, and all special jurisdictions entitled to receive HLS grant funding

9. Interagency Effort • Gang of 5 – HLS grant approval authority • Administered by a five-person County Approval Authority consisting of the Sheriff, Health Services Director, the Contra Costa County Fire Chief, a municipal fire chief, and a municipal police chief • Gang of 10 – working group representatives appointed by G-5 members

10. Project Goals • Target and prioritize grant funding opportunities in a methodical and planned way • Avoid last minute scrambling for requests when grants are announced • Evaluate current HazMat response capabilities and emergency response assets to improve complementary structure, and response configurations • Ensure all departments, regions (west, central, and east) and jurisdictions have input as stakeholders and are vested in the outcome

11. Plan of Attack Hazardous Materials Response Assessment Phase 1 Assess Current Environment Phase 2 Data Collection Phase 4 Create Plans Phase 5 Formal Acceptance of Plans Phase 3 Identify / Create Vision for Issues, Direction, Goals, and Opportunities Strategic and Tactical Planning

12. Tracking Progress • Assess Current Environment (Phase 1) COMPLETED • Establish working groups by discipline • Review existing documents • Data Collection (Phase 2) • Develop survey questions and on-line, web-based survey tool – 70% COMPLETE • Identify survey participants – Week of October 24 • Complete survey – November • Compile results – December

13. Establish Response Discipline Committees and Work Groups 911

14. Web-based Data Collection Tool • Sample – Personnel and Training

15. Create HazMat Response Assessment and/or Strategic and Tactical Plans All-Hazards Planning Approach Establish and define credible scenarios Determine personnel, training, and equipment Evaluate existing response capabilities Recommend and prioritize funding allocation

16. Survey Tool • End Result = Capabilities Assessment on a Contra Costa Operational Area Level • Focus Areas • manpower assessment • communication capability • response preparedness capability • system wide approach to emergency response • equipment capabilities

17. Operational Area Results • Snapshot of Response Personnel • Snapshot of Dispatch Personnel • Snapshot of Available Equipment • Snapshot of Equipment Needs • Identification and Resource Typing of Specialized Units

18. Action Item • Identify survey respondent for your agency
