specifi c appendices. The EOP includes pre-incident and post-incident
public awareness, education, and communications plans and protocols.
Sand City's Mitigation Plan
Sand City's local hazard mitigation plan will be developed in conjunction
with Monterey County's contract with a consulting fi rm to prepare the
county-wide template for mitigation plans. Sand City will then modify the
template to add specifi c Sand City hazards and appropriate mitigation
actions. It is expected that Sand City's local hazard mitigation plan will be
completed and submitted to FEMA as a separate document in 2006.
Sand City's Recovery Plan
Sand City will be involved in recovery operations as described in
Appendix B. In the aftermath of a disaster, many citizens will have specifi c
needs that must be met before they can pick up the thread of their pre-
disaster lives. Typically, there will be a need for such services as these:
assessment of the extent and severity of damages to homes and other
property; restoration of services generally available in communities - water,
food, and medical assistance; repair of damaged homes and property; and
professional counseling.
When the sudden changes resulting from the emergency have resulted
in mental anguish and inability to cope, the City will help individuals and
families recover by ensuring that these services are available and by
seeking additional resources for the community.
Recovery occurs in two phases: short-term and long-term. Short-term
recovery operations will begin during the response phase of the emergency.
The major objectives of short-term recovery operations include rapid debris
removal and clean-up, and orderly and coordinated restoration of essential
services (electricity, water, and sanitary systems). Short-term recovery
operations will include all the agencies participating in the City's disaster
response. The major objectives of long-term recovery operations include:
coordinated delivery of long-term social and health services; improved
land use planning; improving the Sand City Emergency Operations Plan; re-
establishing the local economy to pre-disaster levels; recovery of disaster
response costs; and the effective integration of mitigation strategies into
recovery planning and operations.
The City of Sand City will handle long-term recovery activities. Changes
to the Recovery Plan will be coordinated with all participating departments
