RESOLUTION NO.06-6499
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO ADOPT THE UPDATED
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
WHEREAS, the federal National Incident Management System (NIMS) and California's
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) legislation require the creation,
maintenance, training, and exercising of emergency response protocols by every local
government; and
WHEREAS, Emergency Response to critical incidents, whether natural or manmade,
requires integrated professional management, and Unified Command of such incidents is
recognized as the management model to maximize the public safety response; and
WHEREAS, The National Incident Management System, herein referred to as NIMS, has
been identified by the Federal Government as being the requisite emergency management system
for all political subdivisions, and that failure to adopt NIMS as the requisite emergency
management system may preclude reimbursement to the political subdivision for costs expended
during and after a declared emergency or disaster and for training and preparation for such
disasters or emergencies.
THEREFORE, it shall be the public policy of this City to adopt the NIMS concept of
emergency planning and unified command. It shall further be the policy of this City to train
public officials and emergency responders responsible for emergency management.
