Overview
This bill aims to standardize emergency management procedures across California by requiring the Office of Emergency Services to create and maintain a consistent system for responding to disasters. It mandates after-action reports following declared disasters, both for statewide emergencies and local emergencies, and requires annual updates on recovery efforts. Local agencies are also required to conduct and share their own after-action reports, incorporating the standardized system. The bill also establishes a framework for training emergency response personnel and ensures funding is available for response-related costs.
Key provisions
- Requires the Office of Emergency Services to complete two after-action reports following a declared disaster (one within 180 days of declaration, another 180 days after the state of emergency ends).
- Mandates annual written updates on recovery activities to be shared with relevant agencies.
- Requires local agencies (cities, counties, and city-counties) to conduct and share after-action reports after a local emergency declaration.
- Requires after-action reports to include information on the application of the standardized emergency management system.
- Establishes a course of instruction for training emergency response personnel using the standardized system.
- Requires state agencies to use the standardized system for coordinating emergency operations.
- Specifies that local agencies are eligible for funding for response-related costs under disaster assistance programs if they utilize the standardized system.
