<br />Emergency Operations Plan
<br /> 31 June 2025
<br />all participating agencies should collocate at the
<br />JIC.
<br />Joint Information System (JIS): Integrates
<br />incident information and public affairs into a
<br />cohesive organization designed to provide
<br />consistent, coordinated, timely information
<br />during crisis or incident operations. The mission
<br />of the JIS is to provide a structure and system
<br />for developing and delivering coordinated
<br />interagency messages; developing,
<br />recommending, and executing public
<br />information plans and strategies on behalf of
<br />the IC; advising the IC concerning public affairs
<br />issues that could affect a response effort; and
<br />controlling rumors and inaccurate information
<br />that could undermine public confidence in the
<br />emergency response effort.
<br />Jurisdiction: The range or sphere of authority.
<br />Public agencies have authority at an incident
<br />related to their legal responsibilities and
<br />authority for incident mitigation. Jurisdictional
<br />authority at an incident can be political/
<br />geographical (e.g., Special District, City, County,
<br />State, or Federal boundary lines), or functional
<br />(e.g., Police Department, Health Department,
<br />etc.)
<br />Local Emergency: The duly proclaimed
<br />existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme
<br />peril to the safety of persons and property
<br />within the territorial limits of a County, City and
<br />County, or City, caused by such conditions as air
<br />pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, or
<br />earthquake or other conditions, other than
<br />conditions resulting from a labor controversy,
<br />which conditions are or are likely to be beyond
<br />the control of the services, personnel,
<br />equipment, and facilities of that political
<br />subdivision and required the combined forces
<br />of political subdivisions to combat.
<br />Logistics: Providing resources and other
<br />services to support incident management.
<br />LPFD: Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department
<br />Mitigation: Pre-event planning and actions that
<br />aim to lessen the effects of potential disaster.
<br />Mutual Aid Agreement: Written agreement
<br />between agencies and/or jurisdictions in which
<br />they agree to assist one another upon request,
<br />by furnishing personnel and equipment.
<br />Mutual Aid Region: A subdivision of the
<br />Governor’s Office of Emergency Services
<br />established to assist in the coordination of
<br />mutual aid and other emergency operations
<br />within a geographic area of the State, consisting
<br />of two or more County Operational Areas.
<br />Sonoma County is in Mutual Aid Region II.
<br />National Incident Management System (NIMS):
<br />A system mandated by HSPD-5 that provides a
<br />consistent nationwide approach for Federal,
<br />State, local, and tribal governments; the private
<br />sector, and nongovernmental organizations to
<br />work effectively and efficiently together to
<br />prepare for, respond to, and recover from
<br />domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or
<br />complexity. To provide for interoperability and
<br />compatibility among Federal, State, tribal, and
<br />local capabilities, the NIMS includes a core set
<br />of concepts, principles, and terminology. HSPD-
<br />5 identifies these as the ICS; Multi-agency
<br />Coordination Systems; training; identification
<br />and management of resources (including
<br />systems for classifying types of resources);
<br />qualification and certification; and the
<br />collection, tracking, and reporting of incident
<br />information and incident resources.
<br />National Response Framework (NRF): A plan
<br />mandated by HSPD-5 that integrates Federal
<br />domestic prevention, preparedness, response,
<br />and recovery plans into one all- discipline, all-
<br />hazards plan.
<br />NWS: National Weather Service
<br />Nongovernmental Organization (NGO): An
<br />entity with an association that is based on
<br />interests of its members, individuals, or
