CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET

City of Pleasanton Emergency Operations Plan 1 June 2025 BASIC PLAN 1.0. I NTRODUCTION The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is a foundational document for the City of Pleasanton’s emergency management activities. While resources may be called upon as needed, core responsibilities are outlined in the EOP Basic Plan and associated annexes. To ensure adequate preparedness, City departments should actively participate in preparedness and planning activities, including the development of departmental plans, policies, and procedures as necessary to fulfill assigned roles and obligations. This EOP embraces the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) “Whole Community” approach to emergency management as outlined in FEMA’s Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (FEMA 2021). This approach recognizes the role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBO), faith-based organizations (FBO), private sector businesses, educational institutions, and other stakeholders in emergency management, in addition to Pleasanton’s resources. The EOP reflects the wide variety of support that may be required by residents, visitors, and businesses, including people with disabilities and others with access or functional needs. Certain groups and organizations will need to interface with the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and among one another, including in circumstances where normal telecommunications may be impaired. Members of the community should be aware of the potential risks and hazards that are present and the responsibility to be prepared. By understanding the elements of this plan, the City and such organizations can facilitate that process. 1.1. Purpose The purpose of this EOP is to provide the framework, concepts, and protocols of the City’s emergency management operations to ensure effective coordination of the City’s response to emergencies and disasters. It identifies roles and responsibilities for various individuals and departments as they pertain to preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities. This plan serves as a foundational document for other City plans as well as a reference document for other government and non-government organizations and entities. It is intended to be used in concert with other related plans, such as hazard mitigation, recovery, and continuity of operations. This EOP complies with current Federal, State, and local laws and regulations and incorporates best practices. 1.2. Goals and Objectives The overall objective of emergency management is to ensure the effective coordination of response forces and resources in preparing for and responding to situations associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, and national security emergencies.
