P~V~EWAND APPROVAL OF CIVIL DEFENSE AND DISASTER PLAN
On April 20, 1970 Council adopted Ordf~ance NS 1010 (S.A.M.C. 2-400
et seq.). This ordinance requires subsequent review and approval
by the City Council of a basic Civil Defense and Disaster Emergency
Operations Plan (Section 2-406). Our Coordinator of Disaster Ser-
vices, Roy Ingalls, has prepared this plan under my supervision,
and it has now received final approval from the California Disaster
Office in Sacramento.
After Council ratification, this plan will be published and dis-
tributed to Staff Directors and those involved in training of City ·
employees. Further, it will be used as a guide for staff personnel
in preparing their division annexes and operating procedures in
support of the plan. State acceptance of this plan will now make
the City eligible for reimbursement from the Federal ~overnment for
some of our disaster planning expense.
I recommend approval of this plan as written.

C I TY OF SANTA ANA
CIVIL DEFENSE AND DISASTER EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
BASIC PLAN
PLAN
(This plan supersedes the previous Emergency Operations Plan of
the City of Santa Aha dated May 17, 1951 and its revisions.)
me
iiii.
PURPOSE
A fundamental responsibility of civil government is the protection
of life and property and the alleviation of suffering and hardship
when disasters occur. This plan, based upon appropriate legal
authority, outlines how the City of Santa Aha prepares, mobilizes,
and employs public and private resources to cope with serious
emergencies and disasters.
II. ACTIVATION
The organization, planning and readiness portions of this plan
are a continuing activity and are now in effect.
The emergency operation portions of the plan will become effective:
1. Immediately and completely when a war-caused state of
extreme emergency exists in the State of California.
2. Immediately and to the extent necessary:
When a state of disaster or non-war state of
extreme emergency affecting this City is de-
clared by the Governor of the State of Cali-
fornia.
b. In case of serious local emergency or local
disaster, by action of the City Government.
OBJECTIVES
When a state of extreme emergency is declared or when an attack on
the United States is probable, imminent or actual the City of Santa
Aha will direct its complete and immediate effort to the following
objectives:
-1-
e
e
To minimize loss of life, damage to property, and hard-
ships resulting from disaster.
To preserve law and order.
To initiate, coordinate and conduct necessary recovery
operations of rescue, evacuation, care of survivors,
control of fires and looting.
To conduct such controls as appropriate in the best public
interest toward the conservation and utilization of food,
petroleum, medical supplies, drugs and other essential
commodities as may be available within the City.
To bring about the normal function of the City as soon as
possible.
TO provide mutual aid and assistance to other jurisdic-
tions affected by disaster.
IV. SITUATION
Santa Aha is a rapidly growing city with a current population of
155,000 people, encompassing an area of 26.70 square miles. Its
topography is flat and subject to inundation and sheet overflow in
the event of heavy rains. The City is located 37 miles southeast
of Los Angeles Civic Center and 85 miles north of San Diego. Its
industry is varied and principal plants in the area are engaged in
electronics research. It is possible for a disaster to strike this
area at any time with little or no warning. A disaster may result
from natural causes such as fire, storm, flood or earthquake.
Man-made disasters include but are not limited to peace time nuclear
accidents, falling aircraft, industrial mishaps, civil disturbances,
bomb threats and enemy attack using chemical, biological, conventional
and/or nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons attack is a primary threat
because a potential enemy has a current capability of delivering a
nuclear weapon to any location in California, and Santa Ana and
surrounding communities lie in an area vulnerable to enemy attack.
Serious loss of life and property could result from any of the
above mentioned disasters and they will severely tax available
resources. All of the above mentioned disasters could be disabling
but none (less enemy attack) could be expected to prostrate the cities'
activities over a prolonged period.
-2-
/?
Travel conditions for dispersal are very unfavorable. Routes north-
ward lead into the Los Angeles Metropolitan area and routes southward
lead into the San Diego area. Routes eastward pass through heavily
populated areas and into or through the San Jacinto-Santa ~msa
Mountain passes. With adequate warning and under favorable conditions
of weather, limited sea evacuation operations westward could possibly
be undertaken. However, this is not a primary measure.
The primary defense measure against direct or indirect effects of
nuclear attack is shelter. It is estimated that less than 1% of the
population of the City have, or could be provided shelter having a
protection factor of 100 or greater. Disregarding the direct or
indirect effects, since it is impossible to predict enemy targets
and resultant fallout patterns, the City would be faced with other
major problems. Under such circumstances the City could be expected
to provide mass feeding and medical care for people evacuated from
stricken areas, as well as mobile support to these areas. Food
stocks in retail stores and warehouses located within the City could
be expected to sustain the normal population for ten days. These
stocks would be subject to rationing by the Director of Disaster
Services in accordance with State guidelines.
Warning of possible nuclear attack would be received by radio and
teletype from Orange County Con~nunications Center, Control One, Orange,
California. The dispatch would be received by the Fire Department
Dispatcher, where dispatching personnel are on duty 24 hours a day.
The public will be alerted by siren, radio, telephone, and messengers.
Radio Station KWIZ in Santa Ana and KEZY in Anaheim of the Emergency
Broadcast System (EBS) will broadcast official emergency information
to the public throughout the area.
There are three community hospitals within the City of Santa Ana:
Santa Ana Community, Riverview and Doctors Hospital. One emergency
200-bed Packaged Hospital is stored at the Orange County Courthouse,
and five emergency first aid stations are located in close proximity
to the Industrial Complex and the hospitals. Authority for their
use would come from Orange County Civil Defense Headquarters after
being requested. The Santa Ana Parks and Schools could be used as
mass care centers for people forced to evacuate their homes.
V. ORGANIZATION
The plan provides for total mobilization of all available resources
to meet any disaster situation which may arise in the City of Santa
Aha. TO the maximum extent possible this plan, with annexes, will
be based on existing organizations, standing operating procedures,
facilities and resources. Disaster services not existing per se
-3-
/?
within the City of Santa Aha government structure will be organized,
wherever possible, from such city resources as can be modified or
adapted to the special disaster mission. Where city resources are
not adaptable or appropriate, necessary volunteer emergency services
will be solicited, organized and included in this plan. In all cases
subsidiary plans and standard operating procedures will be kept as
simple as possible and deviations from normal operating procedures
and organization will be kept to the absolute minimum necessary to
accomplish the stated objectives. Since disasters occur in many
forms and frequently without warning, the success of this plan depends
upon how well people are trained and ready to act as well as the con-
tinuous support and cooperation of City employees and the public.
The City Manager, as operating executive of the City Council and
by City Ordinance, is Director of Disaster Services and of Civil
Defense. As such he is responsible for implementing this plan
as well as periodically reviewing and revising it as appropriate.
B. The Assistant City Manager is the Deputy Director of Disaster
Services and Civil Defense.
The City Department Heads continue as normal operating heads of
their respective departments with additional mission assignments
as indicated in Paragraph VI below. They serve as chiefs of
their respective emergency services under this plan.
All City E~ployees are, by State Law, members of the
Santa Aha Disaster Organization and will perform
their assigned tasks under their respective depart-
mental Standard Operating Procedures or as otherwise
directed by competent authority.
Department Heads will coordinate with the Personnel
Department to recruit Disaster workers needed to
augment their work force in an emergency.
De
The Director will organize or obtain such volunteer emergency
services as are necessary to perform functions not covered by
City Departments. Registered volunteer disaster service
workers are entitled to all privileges, benefits and immunities
provided by State law.
All supervisory personnel in the Santa Ana Disaster Organization
will designate by name, three qualified alternates, in priority,
as their successors in the event of their own disability or
nonavailability. These designations will be kept current at
all times and be maintained as Appendix 5 to Annex A.

VII. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
As a general principle, centralized control with decentralized
operations will be utilized wherever possible and feasible.
(See Annex A-l).
Priorities will be established during planning even though later
developments may require changes in priorities to meet the
immediate situation.
Flexibility in planning is mandatory as it is impossible to pre-
dict the degree of any disaster prior to its occurrence. Plans
should be sufficiently flexible to take care of any foreseeable
emergency without major disruption of operations.
Inter-service coordination and cooperation must be insured and all
services should constantly bear in mind the effect their actions may
have on other services. Coordination will be accomplished during
planning as well as during emergency operations and is a responsi-
bility of all services and at all levels.
Department responsible for preparation of each annex included in
this plan is shown in parenthesis in the appended annex list.
Annexes will contain, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Mission.
2. Assumptions and facts bearing on plan.
3. Organization and control (including organization chart as
an appendix).
Operations (include applicable Standard operating procedures
as appendices). Variations from or exceptions to normal
procedures will be covered in detail.
Ke
5. Resources available (appendix).
6. Additional resources required, with possible sources
(appendix).
If any plan is to be valid and oflvalue it must be kept
current. All Department Heads are responsible for periodic
and timely revision as required but not less frequent than
annually. All proposed changes will be promptly forwarded
through the Coordinator of Disaster Services to the Director
for approval. Certification of annual (or more frequent)
review, as of January 1, will be forwarded to the Director
not later than December 20, of each year.
If additional resources are required, the City of Santa
Ana Disaster Organization shall request them from the County
and neighboring communities under the provisions of the
California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid
Agreement to which Santa Aha is signatory. Annex A,
appendix 6.
Limiting factors will be considered, weighed and evaluated
in subsidiary plans.
Ail services will have contingency plans to cover foresee-
able or predictable interference with their basic plan.
Operational concepts are set forth in Annex A~g~---Limited
distribution will be made of this Annex to those individuals
requiring same.
Alert Warning Instructions are set forth in Annex B and
Attachment A to Annex A-5.
Information and concepts concerning the Emergency Operating
Center are set forth in Appendix 3 to Annex 5. These will
