city personnel. Each department will develop their own departmental alert
list, which will be used by the departments to alert departmental personnel.
The Sand City Offi ce of Emergency Services has overall responsibility for
coordinating the City's response to each identifi ed hazard and threat.
Departmental responsibilities are outlined in hazard/threat specifi
c
matrices. Typical activities/actions performed during a specifi c hazard/
threat are listed on the vertical axis (y-axis); and the fi ve NIMS/SEMS
functions are listed on the horizontal axis (x-axis). For each activity/action,
the departments' assigned responsibilities under this activity/action are
listed under the appropriate NIMS/SEMS function.
4. Hazard Mitigation
Sand City will prepare a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in accord with
new requirements from the Department of Homeland Security. Monterey
County has given a contract to a consulting fi rm to prepare an overall
hazard mitigation plan template suitable for all twelve cities in the county.
Sand City is participating in this project and contributing its fair share of
funding. Each city must then add local material appropriate to its location.
It is expected that the Sand City Local Hazard Mitigation Plan will be
completed and submitted to FEMA in 2006.
The City of Sand City's local hazard mitigation plan will be based
on hazard identification, risk assessment, impact analysis, historical
experiences, program assessment and cost-benefit analyses. Some
of the mitigation strategies may be as follows: 1. Applicable building
construction standards; 2. Appropriate land-use practices; 3. Relocation
of structures at risk; 4. Elimination of the hazard; 5. Reduction of the
size of the hazard; 6. Segregation of the hazard; 7. Modification of the
hazard; 8. Establishment of hazard warning systems and procedures;
9. Redundancy of personnel, systems, equipment, or materials.
5. Resource Management
The underlying concepts of resource management in this context are that:
there will be a uniform method of identifying, acquiring, allocating, and
tracking resources; it uses effective mutual-aid and donor assistance, and
is enabled by the standardized classifi cation of kinds and types of resources
required to support the incident management organization; it uses a
credentialing system tied to uniform training and certifi cation standards
to ensure that requested personnel resources are successfully integrated
