City of Pleasanton <br />Emergency Operations Plan <br /> 13 June 2025 <br />• Plans to mitigate future hazards <br />• Recovery of costs associated with response and recovery efforts <br />• Coordination of State and Federal government, private, and public assistance <br /> <br />As the immediate threat to life, property, and environment subsides, the rebuilding of Pleasanton will <br />begin through various recovery activities. Long-term planning efforts, including public safety and <br />infrastructure sustainability, are included in the Pleasanton General Plan. Recovery activities involve the <br />restoration of services to the public and rebuilding the affected area(s). Examples of recovery activities <br />may include: <br />• Restoring all utilities <br />• Establishing and staffing LACs and Disaster Assistance Centers (DACs) <br />• Applying for State and Federal assistance programs <br />• Conducting hazard mitigation analysis <br />• Identifying residual hazards <br />• Determining recovery costs associated with response and recovery <br />3.3.3 Damage Assessment <br />Damage Assessment activities involve identifying, recording, compiling, and analyzing damage <br />information to determine the type of recovery assistance needed. Following major disasters, a process <br />known as Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) is employed to determine preliminary eligibility for <br />certain State and Federal financial assistance and reimbursement programs. <br />3.3.4 Disaster Assistance Programs <br />If the disaster is significant enough to warrant a gubernatorial and a presidential disaster declaration, <br />additional State and Federal assistance may become available. A local disaster proclamation does not <br />automatically warrant the provisions of State or Federal assistance. The City will have to qualify for these <br />additional resources. If determined to be eligible, the City and its residents may be able to participate in <br />State and Federal disaster assistance programs for the following: <br />• Individuals: May be eligible for loans and grants for housing assistance programs (for <br />homeowners and renters), and uninsured disaster-related necessities (including personal <br />property, medical, dental, and transportation expenses). Other Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief <br />and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) programs include crisis counseling, disaster <br />unemployment assistance, and legal services. <br />• Businesses: May be eligible for low-interest loans to assist with uninsured physical damaged <br />through the United States Small Business Administration (SBA). <br />• Government: Assistance may be available through State assistance under the California Disaster <br />Assistance Act (CDAA), as well as several Federal programs, including the FEMA Public Assistance <br />(PA) Grant Program and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). <br />• Nonprofit Organizations: Assistance may be available through the State CDAA as well as several <br />Federal programs, including the FEMA PA Grant Program for eligible nonprofit organizations. <br />Page 217 of 264
