City of Santa Ana Emergency Operations Plan <br />Part I Basic Plan <br />o Local Government - Local governments include cities, counties and special districts. Local governments <br />manage and coordinate the overall emergency response and recovery activities within their jurisdiction <br />and includes bringing additional staff and departments into the response to provide support and <br />coordination to field responders. The local government level is where this Plan and the City of Santa Ana <br />Emergency Operations Center (EOC) sit. <br />o Operational Area - The Operational Area is the intermediate level of the State's emergency organization. <br />Operational Areas are arranged by county and consist of all political subdivisions within a county, <br />including County government, all cities, all districts and all other public agencies authorized by law within <br />that county. County government is responsible for appointing a lead Operational Area agency, and in <br />Orange County, the Orange County Sheriff's Department Emergency Management Division is the lead <br />agency. The Operational Area is responsible for: <br />■ Coordination of emergency activities, information, resources and priorities within the geographic area <br />of the county, <br />■ Serving as a coordination link between the political subdivisions of the county and the regional level <br />activities of the State. <br />O Region - California is divided into three California Office of Emergency Services Administrative Regions <br />- Inland, Coastal and Southern - which are further divided into specific mutual aid regions. The Regional <br />Level manages and coordinates information and resources among all Operational Areas within the region, <br />and between each Operational Area and the State Level, and also coordinates state agency support for <br />emergency response activities within the region. Orange County is within the Southern Region, whose <br />Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC) is also located in Orange County. <br />Figure 118 California Office of Emergency Services Administrative Regions <br />Coasta <br />Regio <br />118 <br />
