CITY OF RIDGECREST CITY EMERGENCY PLAN ATTACHMENT F -- EMERGENCY OPERATING CENTER _EMERGENCY OPERATING CENTER_ 1. _General_ Emergency Operating Centers (EOC) are facilities for the centeralized direction and control of the emergency organization and the general public. During an Increased Readiness Condition or an Alert Warning, all EOC facilities will be activated and manned to the extent required. 2. _Operational Consideraions_ The Chief of each unit of the emergency organization, or his designated representative, and such staff assistants as are assigned will direct and coordinate emergency operations from the _primary_ EOC. Other secondary EOC facilities are manned by personnel from appropriate emergency services or resources management divisions. 3. _Facilities_ The following facilities are scheduled for emergency use: Name of Facility user *Fallout **Fallout Communication Protected Protection Systems Capacity Factor Status _ _ City Hall Emergency 400 100 to 500 pf Limited (Secondary Organiza- Excellent EOC) tion Central Fire Fire Service 20 100 pf minimum Complete Station (good) Police Law Enforce- 75 100 pf minimum Complete Adminis- ment (good) trative Service Building (Primary EOC) *Estimated **Total capacity based on 24-hour occupacy Ridgecrest -72- CITY OF RIDGECREST CITY EMERGENCY PLAN ATTACHMENT G -- FALLOUT SHELTER SYSTEM _FALLOUT SHELTER SYSTEM_ 1. _General_ The fallout shelter system consists of existing facilities which, due to their construction features, will significantly reduce exposure to hazardous radiation in the event of fallout resulting from the detonation of nuclear weapons. Fallout shelters are a radiological defense countermeasure. Although the use of fallout shelters is the central countermeasure around which all WAR EMERGENCY civil defense operations are based, other Radef countermeasures must also be used to insure the minimum exposure of the population and the civil defense workers. 2. _Operational Considerations_ The effective use of falllout shelters, existing and expedient, requires the timely dissemination of information, advice, and action instructions to the public and the regulation of movements to public shelter. The location of fallout shelters within the county will require some interjurisdictional movements of people to shelter. The capacity of existing fallout shelters in this city is very limited with respect to total population. Therefore, the construction of expedient shelters and the upgrading and expansion of existing shelters is a Priority action in the event of a change in Readiness Condition. (See Attachment B.) Refer to the pre-attack operations schedule in the General Plan chapter. The Welfare-Shelter Service will provide staffs for the management of in-shelter activities. (See the Welfare/Shelter Annex to this Plan.) 3. _Expedient Shelter_ The Construction of expedient shelter (including uplgrading and expanding of existing shelters) is governed by the following factors: a. Designation of suitable sites. b. Mobilization of emergency construction teams. c. Mobilization of emergency construction equipment. d. Provision of survival supplies.
