MOTION BY SUPERVISOR MICHAEL D. ANTONOVICH JANUARY 19, 1999

Emergency preparedness and disaster coordination plans must be maintained in a constant state of readiness. To best achieve this level of readiness, operational plans must be reviewed on a regular basis. The San Gabriel Valley cities are currently split between County Disaster Management Area C and Area D even though services are primarily provided by Area D. The geographical division of the County Disaster Management Areas should be reviewed as to possible re-alignment. Perhaps the entire San Gabriel Valley should be included in one area since the cities work together on a variety of issues. The Coalition of Governments could be helpful in arranging a meeting of San Gabriel Valley city managers to discuss a possible re-alignment with CAO Emergency Management staff.
I, THEREFORE, MOVE THAT the CAO review the potential for re-alignment of the County Disaster Management Areas including a meeting with the San Gabriel Valley City managers and report back to the Board of Supervisors in ninety days.
