California Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency launch Southern California catastrophic earthquake plan, called OPLAN, in a December 14 at the Pasadena signing ceremony. The plan outlines the response and recovery of a major earthquake in Southern California. The two organizations signed a San Francisco Bay Area catastrophic earthquake in last year's plan.
FEMA region IX response from the Director of the Division Justin Dombrowski and Cal AMS Secretary Matthew Bettenhausen participated in the signing, which was attended by first responders, emergency managers, planners, and others. Planning efforts started a year ago with a focus on the highest issue, the most critical consequences more widespread: mass of victims, a shelter and housing, lack of infrastructure and needs enormous economic disruption. In "the unthinkable" resulted in a realistic, flexible plan according to the agencies.
"We know that it is not a question of 'if', but 'when' the next big earthquake goes to shake the California to its core," said Bettenhausen. "Our number one priority is to ensure that we do all our best to be prepared and a carefully designed comprehensive plan in place to allow the maximum of coordination among federal agencies, State and.... This plan is not the end, but another crucial step in our ongoing planning process.
"Much time, effort and resources were spent by all those involved in this plan, and we are very confident in our ability to execute, said Dombrowski." Completion is possible provided the leadership and the presence of these organizations. »
