206 - Emergency Operations Plan 1 POLICY 206 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
206.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The City of Tustin has prepared an all hazards Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that provides
the organizational framework and procedures to plan and direct an appropriate response by City
forces in the event of a major emergency (Government Code § 8610). The operational concepts
reflected in the Plan concentrate on extraordinary emergencies and disasters, which can
generate unique situations requiring a significant and/or sustained emergenc y response and use
of resources. Such disasters may pose major threats to life, property, the local economy and the
environment.
The implementation of the Incident Command System (ICS) organization and associated
concepts is an essential first step to ens ure an organized first response by field personnel at a
critical or major incident (See G.O. 207). When a major emergency or disaster strikes, a more
centralized emergency management structure is necessary to support field operations, prioritize
response a ctivities , enhance communications and to procure and allocate resources.
Implementation of the City’s EOP and the activation of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
is warranted in these situations.

206.2 LEGAL RATIONALE
The City of Tustin has adopted the Standardi zed Emergency Management System (SEMS) (SB
1841 as described and required by Government Code § 8607(a)) for managing response to multi -
agency and multi -jurisdiction emergencies in California. The City has also adopted the National
Incident Management Syste m (NIMS), which is the Federal counterpart to SEMS. SEMS
incorporates the use of the Incident Command System, the Master Mutual Aid Agreement,
existing law , fire, and public works mutual aid systems, Operational Area concepts, and multi -
agency or inter -agency coordination.
The Police Department is responsible for the development and maintenance of the City of Tustin
Emergency Operations Plan, which provides for the effective mobilization of all resources of this
City, both public and private, to meet any c ondition constituting a Local Emergency, State of
Emergency or State of War Emergency, and provides for the organization, powers and duties,
services and staff of the emergency organization. The current plan took effect upon adoption of
Resolution 11 -14 by the Tustin City Council on March 1, 2011 and is periodically updated by the
Emergency Management Coordinator.
SEMS and the City’s EOP require that the City notify and coordinate all EOC activity with the
Orange County Operational Area. As such, the Count y of Orange Emergency Operations Plan
and its annexes are to be considered as supplemental references to the City’s EOP.
