The City facilitates trainings and regularly communicates opportunities to City members. Additionally, the City prioritizes trainings that promote staff understanding and familiarity with the following concepts: • Incident Command System (ICS) • California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) • National Incident Management System (NIMS) • California DSW [CA Government Code 3101] • EOC Functions The City Manager or designee will ensure that staff members assigned to the EOC are adequately trained and competent to fulfill their designated responsibilities. Staff members are encouraged to engage in ongoing emergency management training to be familiar with current plans and guidance and capable of fulfilling the EOC role to which they are assigned. 3.1.4 Exercises Exercises are a primary tool for assessing preparedness and identifying areas for improvement. They are a valuable method to validate plans and train personnel. Pleasanton incorporates guidance from the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) in the development of its exercises. A variety of exercises and trainings are used to assess capabilities and prioritize future planning and training needs. By simulating potential response and recovery scenarios, Pleasanton is able to validate existing plans and determine where additional training might be needed. The City’s Disaster Preparedness Working Group will develop an Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) that incorporates a building block approach in the development of planned exercises to facilitate increasing awareness and knowledge. 3.1.5 Public Awareness & Education The Disaster Preparedness Working Group, City departments, and their partners promote public awareness and education to strengthen overall preparedness, awareness, and community resilience. By providing community education, outreach, training, and coordination, the City increases the ability of community members and organizations to adequately prepare for and meet their own needs. By promoting self-reliance and preparedness, the City reduces the overall burden on resources and competing needs that may arise during critical incidents. Page 214 of 264
