STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY
A. General.
The magnitude and uniQue nature of the survival problems associated with
nuclear war deserve special attention. The probability that much of the
nation would be affected in a similar manner and at the same time reQuires
that the responses planned to cope with such an event be as uniform as
possible.
Since there are a number of possible variations on the situation which
could occur, it is necessary to plan in terms of the remedial response
appropriate to each. Such planning lends itself to time/phase
considerations. Therefore, attention is given to those actions to be
taken before, during and after the onset of a State of War emergency.
B. Assumptions.
1. National policy considers nuclear attack to be the primary threat.
2. There is also the possibility of an attack with conventional,
incendiary, chemical or biological weapons.
3. Locations in Cal ifornia might be attacked with 1 itt1e or no advance
warning by aircraft, missiles, aerospace weapon systems,
clandestinely introduced weapons, or by sabotage.
4. There is no way of knowing the exact nature of potential enemy
intentions or precise capabilities for attack.
5.. Radioactive fallout poses the greatest threat to the largest number
of people.
6. Although control and recovery tasks are similar in many respects,
there are major differences. These differences must be recognized,
identified, and planned for.
7. Significant departures from routine operations can be anticipated.
8. The overall resource reQuirements are much greater than those of any
other emergency.
9. Interjurisdictiona1 mutual aid may be unavailable or delayed.
If -/t?9/7,;f
a. Strategic Warning: Enemy initiated hostilities are imminent.
Warning time may vary from several hours to several days and
would be the basis for initiated readiness conditions.
b. Tactical Warning. An actual attack against the country has been
detected. The attack warning signal is sounded and public
announcements made.
c. Attack (no warning). A weapon has been detonated.
2. Operational Time Periods. Operational reQuirements vary with the
time and circumstances. For planning purposes, emergency operational
phases are identified by the activity appropriate to each period.
a. Increased readiness: the period during the bui ldup to and the
onset of an emergency. During this time, emphasis is on
attaining the highest level of readiness.
b. Remedial operations: a period during and after an attack.
Emphasis is on survival and organized remedial actions.
c. Recovery operations: a priod during which the emergency
organization conducts priority operations to restore essential
services and supply systems. Emphasis is on sustaining the
surviving population.
d. Final recovery: an extended period (which may last for months
or years) during which emergency operations are phased out and
nationwide resources management operations become paramount.
Emphasis is on reestablishing and maintaining the economy.
3. Readiness conditions.
a. General.
1) An increase in international tension may reQuire
precautionary actions by the federal, state and local

EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM (EBS)
AND
LIFESAVING INFORMATION FOR EMERGENCIES (LIFE)
I. Emergency Broadcast System (EBS)
A. General
The State of California has been segmented into "EBS Operational
Areas" for the purpose of disseminating emergency information.
The San Oi ego EBS operat i ona 1 area encompasses the ent i re County.
Two EBS radio stations, KOGO and KCBQ, have been provided will
fallout-protected facilities. Other unprotected, but authorized, EBS
stations continue to operate as conditions permit.
All authorized stations in each EBS operational area broadcast a
common program. A "program entry poi ntH has been estab 1 i shed for
each EBS area. Emergency services authorities for each jurisdiction
wi 11 prepare emergency i nformat i on and act i Qn instructions pertinent
to the people of their respectiv.e jurisdictions, which will be routed
to the designated program entry point for broadcast.
B. Operational Considerations
Authorized stations continue to broadcast on regular assigned
frequencies during a war emergency. They broadcast their call letter
identification and the area identification, and listeners are advised
to monitor those stations which serve the area in which they are
located, since EBS announcements may vary according to the area
served.
C. Faci 1 ities
The Program Entry Point for the San Diego EBS operational area is the
County EOC. Emergency information will be routed to the program
entry point via RACES radio or telephone. EBS stations serving the

The Office of Disaster Preparedness has developed the LIFE
system for the purpose of disseminating emergency information
and warnings in times of emergencies.
2. System Operation.
The LIFE system uses the EBS radio facilities at the ECC and the
sub-carrier frequency of KPBS-FM. This station has a
transmitter on Mt. Mi gue 1. The LIFE messages of public
information can be received at participating broadcast stations
and public/private facilities on special monitor receivers.
3. System Access.
The LIFE system is available to a jurisdiction (Mayor, City
Manager, etc.) and can be accessed when the operational area ECC
is activated via the telephone (565-3490). When the operational
area ECC is not staffed, the request for access is to be made to
ODP (565-3490.
If telephone service is not available, programming requests
should be passed over the RACES radio system to the County ECC.
Specific access instructions wi 11 be received from County ODP

DISASTER ASSISTANCE CENTERS
"
Di saster Ass i stance Centers (DAC) are a cooperative effort between several
levels of government and the Red Cross. They are opened when a disaste~ has
. occurred and there has been a presidential declaration which makes federal
disaster relief available and provides information and assistance for disaster
relief programs. This means that disaster victims c.an receive all of the
information they need and make all necessary applications at one facility.
The DAC facilitates coordination of the various programs, on-the-spot, between
the representatives.
The responsibilities of the various levels of government and the Red Cross are
as follows:

ECC PERSONNEL RESPONSE PLAN
A. Introduction
In the event of a disaster or threatened major emergency, it is imperative
that ECC staff personnel report to the ECC promptly so that emergency
services may be activated. Delay in activating the emergency response
could cost many lives and a tremendous dollar value in lost property.
B.personnel Considerations
Personnel cannot be realistically expected to abandon their own families
in order to provide emergency services for others. Any response plan must
recognize that personal and, family safety considerations will take
precedence over a sense of duty. Once the fami ly members are safe and
their needs cared for (food, shelter, etc.), ECC personnel may respond to
perform their duties.
C. Disaster Care Centers
The Parks and Recreation Department will establish and maintain a
contingency plan to'accomplish the following:
1. Furnish staff to provide essential care for the ECC families and
their own families.
2. Coordinate needed supplies (food, blankets, etc.) through the
Medical/Health, Coordinator at the ECC (Director of Parks &
Recreation) who may obtain such items from the American Red Cross.
The ECC telephone number for that service is 575-5210.
3. Arrange for staffing relief from within the Parks ~nd Recreation
Department.
4. In order to avoid overcrowding, refer all other citizens to Disaster
Aid Centers established by the Red Cross. Telephone 575-5210 to
determine those locations.
5. ~ocation:
a. Lorna Verde Center; primary site.
b. Rohr Park Manor; alternate site.
(Norman Park Center will be used by the Red Cross)
Ii -1()96~
D. Procedures for Reporting for Duty
1. Stand-by
a. Stand-by
1) The Director of Emergency Services will notify the Police
Department desk sergeant that the ECC personnel should be
placed on stand-by, ready to respond to a callout.
2) The desk sergeant wi 11 telephone each of the ECC staff
officers (attachment 1) and relay the message. If primary
staff officers cannot be contacted, the sergeant will call

and relay the message. If primary staff officers cannot be
contacted, he will notify the alternate. He will keep a
log of persons contacted and those that are not available.
3) Staff officers may elect to transport their families to the
Disaster Care Center or allow them to remain at home. If
families are delivered to the care center, the staff will
then immediately report to the ECC. If not, staff officers
will report directly to the ECC.
4) Parks & Recreation Department will immediately activate
their contingency plan for the care center.
