LETTER OF PROMULGATION
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF SANTA lVI0NICA:
The preservatlOn of life and property is an inherent responsibihty of the local,
state, and federal governments. The Clty of Santa Monica, therefore, has prepared
this plan in an effort to ensure the most effective and economical use of all resources
(material and manpower) for the maXImum benefit and protection of the civilian
population in time of erner gency.
Vve approve and subscribe to those provislOns of the California Emergency Plan and
Emergency Resources Management Plan which apply to county government. This
plan conforms to the State's plans and is an extension of those plans.
The basic tenets of emergency preparedness/civil defense are self-help and mutual
aid. The polICIes, prinCIples, concepts, and procedures contained in this plan are
designed to provide the basis for the county emergency organization and emergency
operations.
The obj ectives of this plan are to Incorporate and coordinate all the facilities and
personnel of the CIty into an efficient organization capable of reactlng adequately in
the face of any dIsaster; and to conduct such operations as the nature of the disaster
deems necessary, whether It be to combat a local emergency or to assist other juris-
dictions should they suffer an emergency.
I gIve my utmost support to thIS plan and urge each citlzen of the county, Individually
and collectively, to do hlS share in the total emergency effort of the City of Santa
!Vronlca.
SIncerely,
Mayo.r
CIty of Santa Monica, Cahfornia

ATTACHMENT C -- WARNING SYSTEMS
WARNING SYSTEM
1. General
The warning system is the means for relaying notIce of Impending or actual
attack from the Federal Government to the public. Regardless of the effectIve-
ness of the warning system, It can do no more than Inform. It is the response
to warn~ng by the total emergency orgamzation and the pubhc which is important.
Approp=iate responses and effectIve use of the warning Information may be limIted
by the amount of hme available.
Refer to the Warning SectlOu1 Direction and Control Annex. of this emergency
plan an::: to appropriate SOPs, with respect to procedures for disseminabng warn-
ing. P'..lbl::.c responses to various WarnIng Conditions are given in the General
Plan chapter.
2. Actions
Warning actions are charactenzed by hIgh pnority for a short period of time, the
use of mass medIa systems for passIng warning to the public, a small number of
workers to man the system, a need for fast achvationof the system on short notice.
and readiness to repeat all actions in the event of succeSSIve alerts or attacks.
The National Viarmng System (NAWAS) feeds warmng informatlOn to the State
Warmng POInt. (The stateWIde Warning Points also hear the NA WAS InformatIOn
but do not take action from it.) After the State Warning Pomt transmits the
warnIng conditlOn~ the Warning Points actIvate the Bell and LIghts warning system
to inform local govermnents, schools, and industry. Local authorities then Inform
the publIc by means of outdoor warnIng devlCes, mobile loudspeakers~ and other
devic es.
Upon activation by the President, the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) will
also provide warnIng mformation to the public. {See Attachment E - EBS.}
3. Facilities
Warning informatIOn is receIved at the CIty'S F~re Station No.1, VIa the Bell and
Lights system. Alternate means of receIpt are via the Cal1forula Law Enforcement
TelecommUnICatIOns System (CLETS) and PublIc Safety radio systems.
The general public receives warning by means of SIrens and horns whIch are
located to provIde coverage for an estimated 100% of the peak nighttime population
of this City. (See 1vlap of Warning Coverage.) To the extent possible, the re-
maInIng population WIll be notIfIed by other available means, In addItIon, the
5/74
.
e
27
Emergency Broadcast System is expected to provide coverage for a large part
of the populahon.
Notice of warning is also 1sbued from the county and city communication centers
to special facIlities (schools, hospitals, fire stations, utIhty statlOns, etc.).
Key workers of emergency organizatIons are alerted by means of monItor re-
ceIvers or by telephone.
4. Types of Warning
a. Attack warning:
A CIVll defense warning that an actual attack against this country has been
detected.
b. Fallout Warning:
A \va-ruing of radloLtIon hazards resulhng from nuclear detonatlOn.
c. N3.!:t:.ral Disaster Warning: (NADW ARN)
A -.varning concernlng tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, fIres, and other
c3..rl5ers such as t;jl.inamis (seismic sea waves).
5. War:::.ng Signals
a. Two standard \Varnlng signals have been established:
{l} The Attack Warning signal:
3- to 5-minute waverIng zone on SIrens, or short blasts on horns or
whistles, repeated as often as deemed necessary (see 6 below).
(2) The Attention or AJ.ert signal:
3- to 5-mlnute &-teady tone on si rens, horns or whistles, repeated as
often as deemed necessary. This signal may be used at the option and
on the authority of local governments to provide warnIngs of an impend-
Ing peacetune emergency (see 7 below).
6. Warning Signals - War Emergency
Outdoor warning devices, the EBS, and other communicatIons medIa will

ATTACHMENT D -- EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
,
1. General
The communications systems 1nstalled at or controlled from the EOG will
support the field activities of the various emergency services which make up
the emergency organlzation. Other communications systems provide links to
nearby jurisdictions (cities and counties), or to hlgher levels of the statewide
emergency organ1zation. The communications systems at EOC include radlO
systems hcensed to this jurisdiction. Such radio systems are augmented in an
emergency by radio systems licensed to other agencies of government, to
private L."'1.dustry, and to individuals.
During a STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY, privately owned radio systems, equip-
ment and facuities, subject to approval by the licensee, will generally be used
to support the f1eld activities of emergency services not already linked directly
to the EOG.
Refer to the Communications Section, Direction and Control Annex of this
operatio:l.s plan for speciflc informatlon on achon, organization, and available
systems. All radio equlpment will be operated in compliance with FCC Rules
and RegulatIOns.
2. Operational Considerations
a. The Communications Section is one of several staff sections which are
organized and assigned at the EOG to provide communications for the
direction and control of emergency operations. Messages outside of the
EOC are handled by communlcatlOns operators in thls staff sectJ.on.
The Message Center processes and distributes lnessages within the EOG.
The EOG communications and message staff is supervised by the Communica-
tions Off1cer, who also has technical supervislOn of emergency service
technicians who service or operate communication equipment in the held.
Operators to man the EOG communications equipment will be provided by
those agencies regularly using these systems. The Communlcations Offlcer
will provide for operators of other comrnunicatlOns equlpment which augments
regular capabihhes, and will also provide for personnel to service and
maintain communlcation equipment and facllitites.
b. Allocation of RadlO Systems
RadlO systems subject to county control wlll be used for message transactions
of emergency services according to the following table, subject to such

c. Emergency Public Information MedIa
Emergency informatIon, advice, and action instructions are announced to the
public by vanous media. The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) and out-
door \VarnIng devices (sirens and horns) are the pnmary media. Other media
are the mobile loudspeakers, bulletins, handbIlls, and the press. The
Emergency Information OffIcer will release all emergency public Information

EMERGENCY BROApCAST SYSTEM (EBS)
1. General
The state has been segmented into JlEBS Operational Areasll for the purpose of
dis seminating emergency information via regular AM broadcast stations.
Each lIEBS Operational Area" encompasses one or more county areas. Selected
EBS stations have been provided with fallout-protected facilities. Other unpro-
tected but authorized EBS stations will continue to operate as conditions permit.
All aut..~orized statlOns:m each II EBS Operational Arearr will broadcast a common
progra..~. A "program entry pointll has been established for each EBS area.
Civil c.efense authorities for each jurisdichon will prepare emergency information
and act:.on instructions pertinent to the people in their respective jUrlsdictions,
which will be routed to the designated program entry point for broadcast. (Refer
to the .'S...--ner gency Public InformatlOn Section. Direction and Control Annex of
this Ope::-ations Plan.)
2. Operat~ona1 Considerations
Authorized stations will conhnue to broadcast on regular assigned frequencies
during a "\Y AR EMERGENCY. but the use of call letter ldentification will cease
wlth the activation of EBS. Instead. stations will broadcast area identiflcation.
Listeners wlll be advised to monitor those stations which serve the area ln which
they are located. since EBS announcements may vary according to area served.

ATTACHMENT G --Fi\LLOUT SHELTER SYSTEM
FALLOUT SHELTER SYSTEM
1. General
The fallout shelter system cons~sts of exishng facilities which, due to their
construction features, will significantly reduce exposure to hazardous radiation
In the event of fallout resultmg 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 Wd.r emergency civil
deiense operations are based, other Radef countermeasures must also be used
to ins::=e the mIllimUln exposure of the population and the CIVll defense workers.
2. Opera.::.o:ta.l ConsideratlOns
The E:::':~ctive use of fallout shelters, existing and expedient, requues the tlmely
disse.:::1.:~atlOn of lnlo::-mation, advice, and action Instructions to the public and the
regul2.L.::.Q:1. of moveme-:lts to public shelter. The location of fallout shelters withIn
the C~-..A,..,.-:ty will reqU1.Te ::>omeinterJurisdictional movements of people to shelter.
(s ee App e:ldix No.1. F aliont ProtectIon Plan)
The ca?acity of exis::ing fallout shelters in this City IS lirruted with respect to
total population. Therefore, the constructlOll of expedlent shelters and the up-
granlng and expanslOn of existIng shelters is a priority action in the event of a
change in Readlness Condihon. (see Attachment B) Refer to the preattack opera-
tions schedule In the General Plan chapter.

ATTAc;.HMENT H -- EMERGENCY RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
,"",
1.
General
/'
In;!. war emergency, the federal government contemplates that both direct and
}-ndirect mandatory controls will be imposed throughout the nation to conserve
critlcal resources and to stabilize the economy. To this end, guidance has been
provIded to state and local governments in order that these controls may be
accomplished In a generally uniform manner nationwide. This guidance led to
the formalization of the State Emergency Resources Management Plan which
was promulgated by the Governor in January 1968.
The State Emergency Resources Management Plan establishes a state-level
resour-::es management organization which requires the support of county and
city governments if the surviving resources are to be equitably allocated to meet
the total requirements of the nation.
2. _OperatlOr..al Considerations
a. ?vla.ny of the cntical resources needed to sustain survivors and the defense
eI:o=t WIll be cestroyed.
b. Damage to transportatIon facilities, eqUIpment, and supplies will seriously
restrict distnbution of surviving resources.
c. State and local governments, in cooperation WIth the federal government, will
control allocation and dispersal of remainIng resources. (The procedures for
such controls are outlined In the State Emergency Resources Management
Plan, 1968.)
d. Local governments must be prepared to implement the Governor's Orders and
RegulatIons for a War Emergency (as amended in 1971).
3. ActIons
a. The Resources l\1anagement LIaison will coordinate the management of
resources under CIty control as delegated by the State Resources Management
Agency.
b. The Support ServIc es of the CIty emergency organization will constitute this
City. s Emergency Resources lv1anagement Divisions and will maIntain Halson
with and support the state and federal resources management effort.
