CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET

City of Pleasanton Emergency Operations Plan 12 June 2025 3.3. Recovery Phase The Recovery Phase includes short- and long-term activities focused on returning the community to pre- incident or improved conditions. In some situations, when a disaster declaration has been made, recovery activities may include the critical task of identifying, documenting, and quantifying response and recovery costs eligible for reimbursement. The Recovery Phase may begin during the Response Phase or as directed by the EOC Director. Depending on the incident, the recovery process may be short or be a sustained operation lasting several years. A comprehensive Recovery Plan may provide more detailed actions for a prolonged recovery period. A separate and detailed Recovery Plan would contain specific procedures and protocols, roles, and responsibilities. The EOP is intended to be used mostly during the Response Phase of an incident; it is not intended to be a comprehensive Recovery Plan. The City may set priorities and secure resources. The following actions may assist and facilitate recovery efforts: • Conducting damage assessments • Assessing housing needs – both support and solutions • Issuing permits for repairs and demolition • Debris removal • Opening roadways and transportation routes • Restoring utilities – water, electricity, gas, communications, sewer, internet, cable • Opening Local Assistance Centers (LACs) • Restart government functions • Coordinating efforts with Alameda County OES • Working with local businesses to restore operations • Coordinating with County, State, and Federal officials regarding financial recovery for the City • Coordinate with County Public Health efforts for disasters that include health issues • Identify and prioritize essential functions and services 3.3.1 Short-term Recovery Short-term recovery operations begin during the Response Phase and may include activities such as the restoration of essential services, rapid debris removal, and the re-establishment of City services. 3.3.2 Long-term Recovery Long-term recovery operations are often required to address extensive damage to infrastructure or widespread devastation. Activities include the restoration and reconstruction of public facilities and disaster response cost recovery.
