<br /> Honorable Board of Supervisors

<br /> SUBJECT: APPROVE AN AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE ALAMEDA COUNTY
<br /> OPERATIONAL AREA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION
<br /> Dear Board Members:
<br /> RECOMMENDATION:
<br /> Approve an agreement with cities, special districts, and nonprofit corporations to participate in the
<br /> Alameda County Operational Area Emergency Management Organization, establishing a unified
<br /> framework for disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation, effective upon
<br /> execution by all parties through December 31, 2035, with no monetary compensation required
<br /> except for reimbursement of direct costs under mutual aid agreements.
<br /> DISCUSSION/SUMMARY:
<br /> On May 10, 2016 (File No. 29782, Item No. 44), your Board approved an agreement that allows
<br /> the County of Alameda and other local public entities to work together by sharing resources and
<br /> information to protect the public.
<br /> The protection of life, property, and the environment is a shared responsibility of local, state, and
<br /> federal governments. To support this responsibility, Alameda County, in collaboration with the
<br /> cities of Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark,
<br /> Oakland, Piedmont, Pleasanton, San Leandro, and Union City, along with special districts and
<br /> nonprofit corporations, has elected to enter into an agreement to promote a unified and
<br /> coordinated approach among state and local agencies, facilitate mutual aid, and ensure the
<br /> efficient and effective use of regional and local resources during a catastrophic event. The
<br /> Alameda County Operational Area is an intermediate level of the state emergency services
<br /> organization, consisting of a county and all political subdivisions within the County area.
<br /> The agreement integrates and coordinates the County's available facilities and personnel into an
<br /> efficient and effective organizational structure by defining roles, policies, and general procedures
<br /> in accordance with the Standardized Emergency Management System. This approach ensures
<br /> the most effective and cost-efficient allocation of resources. This provides a framework for
<br /> collaboration and covers essential areas including communications, equipment, medical services,
<br /> financial matters, and environmental and economic resources.
<br /> This agreement has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
