202.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The City has prepared an Emergency Management Plan for use by all employees in the event
of a major disaster or other emergency event. The plan provides for a strategic response by all
employees and assigns specific responsibilities in the event that the plan is activated (Government
Code § 8610).
202.2 ACTIVATING THE EMERGENCY PLAN
The Emergency Management Plan can be activated on the order of the official designated by
local ordinance.
202.2.1 RECALL OF PERSONNEL
In the event that the Emergency Management Plan is activated, all employees of the San Luis
Obispo Police Department are subject to immediate recall. Employees may also be subject to
recall during extraordinary circumstances as deemed necessary by the Chief of Police or the
authorized designee.
Failure to promptly respond to an order to report for duty may result in discipline.
202.3 LOCATION OF THE PLAN
The Emergency Management Plan is available in Administration and the Watch Commander's
office. All supervisors should familiarize themselves with the Emergency Management Plan. The
Administration supervisor should ensure that department personnel are familiar with the roles
police personnel will play when the plan is implemented.
202.4 UPDATING OF MANUALS
The Chief of Police or designee shall review the Emergency Management Plan Manual at least
once every two years to ensure that the manual conforms to any revisions made by the National
Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System
(SEMS) and should appropriately address any needed revisions.
