  10. Situational Awareness The sooner we are able to gain a picture of the situation the sooner we can request resources. There will be competing entities. One point of contact with each community for concise and vetted information.

  11. How the State is set up to respond Each City declares a state of emergency with the County when their resources are overwhelmed. The County declares to the State a state of emergency when their resources are overwhelmed. Once the State has exhausted their resources they declare a state of emergency with the Federal Government. Resources don’t actually have to be spent to declare an emergency (earthquake).

  12. What is the role of an Emergency Preparedness Leader? Promote self-reliance and individual and family responsibility in times of disaster. These concepts can be found in the Your Personal Disaster Preparedness Planner. Attend Emergency Preparedness training or exercises offered by the City on behalf of the community. Report the ongoing status of emergency preparedness efforts to the Community Coordinator. Report and/or assist the Community Coordinator in communicating situational updates in a disaster.

The Personal Preparedness Planner • Provides advice and planning sheet on the basic supplies • One Gallon of water per person per day • Food • Shelter and warmth advice • Light • First Aid • Morale boosters • Pets • You don’t have to do it all at once- every little bit helps you be more prepared.

  17. There is no plan for the communities We don’t have a city-wide plan for the communities. Our emphasis is on personal and family preparedness and responsibility. We ask that you focus on the basic guidelines set forth in Your Personal Disaster Preparedness Planner. In addition to the above two points, we encourage communities to prepare for what will work in their communities. What works well in Community 5 may not work in 27.

  18. Information we want from the Community The number of individuals that are injured The number of individuals that are deceased The number of homes that are damaged The immediate needs of the community OTHER
