CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET

City of Pleasanton Emergency Operations Plan iii June 2025 E XECUTIVE S UMMARY The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) outlines how the City of Pleasanton—its government, stakeholder agencies, community groups, business community, and residents—coordinates its response to major emergencies and disasters. The EOP is regularly reviewed and updated by staff and approved by the City Council. The EOP identifies operational strategies and plans for managing complex and potentially catastrophic events, including the Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation phases of emergency management. This document facilitates emergency response and short-term recovery functions for emergencies and disasters that are outside the scope of normal City operations. City assets, resources, and departments may become overwhelmed. A primary goal of the EOP is to promote flexibility whenever possible based on good judgment and common sense. Pleasanton has officially adopted and integrated the following emergency management, response, and coordination systems: • Incident Command System • Standardized Emergency Management System • National Incident Management System • National Response Framework The City has adopted a “whole community” approach that actively promotes the inclusion of community partners, neighbors, residents, people with disabilities, access and functional needs, people with language or cultural differences, and other stakeholders in all phases of emergency management planning. Through such collaboration, the City will be better prepared to meet the needs of both its residents and daytime population (visitors, employees, among others). The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) provides a centralized location where emergency management coordination and decision-making can be supported during a critical incident, major emergency, disaster, or significant event. During such events, the EOC may be activated and provides support for critical tasks related to communications, coordination, resource management, and executive leadership. If the City determines that the effects of an emergency are beyond the capability of local resources or may become so, a local emergency can be proclaimed. A local proclamation of emergency allows the City Executive Officer to serve as the Director of Emergency Services to take measures necessary to protect and preserve public health and safety and support requests for County, State, and Federal assistance. A proclamation also provides City staff with additional powers and authorities to increase the speed and effectiveness of City response activities. The EOP is organized and defined as follows: • Basic Plan (also referred to as EOP in this document)—Presents the planning assumptions, policies, and concept of operations that guide the responsibilities for emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation for Pleasanton • Appendixes—Additional information on the Emergency Action Plan and a profile of Pleasanton Page 200 of 264
