SEMS NIMS REVIEW
Standardized EmergencyManagement System (SEMS)
• A framework for coordinating emergency response in California
• Utilizes the Incident Command System originally developed by fire agencies for managing wildfire response
SEMS Organization
MANAGEMENT
OPERATIONSPLANNING /
INTELLIGENCELOGISTICS FINANCE /
ADMINISTRATION
Planning / Intelligence Functions
• Collect/analyze information• Develop situation reports• Action Planning• Advance Planning• Technical Specialists• Demobilization
Agency Roles & Responsibilities
DWR’S ROLE
DWR’s Role: Emergencies
• Emergencies are declared by local, county (OA) or the State (Governor), not DWR or NWS
• DWR and NWS do not order evacuations• The FOC provides public warnings & technical
assessments for emergency managers, law enforcement and government agencies
• The FOC provides public information to the media and citizens
DWR Emergency Response Priorities
Protect life, property, and infrastructure
Protect water quality and water supply
Protect the environment
Flood Operations Organizational Concept
Flood Alerts and Activation
Flood Alert is declared by the Flood Operations Branch Chief due to:• Forecasts of sustained storm patterns and
resulting flood potentials• Need for coordinated field operations• Technical assistance requests from local
agencies• Activation of local / regional emergency
operations centersA Flood Alert is what “activates” the FOC under SEMS up to 24 hour operation
Flood Alerts and Activation
Flood Mobilization is declared by the Flood Operations Branch Chief when the FOC needs additional:
Personnel
Equipment
Material
Financial resources
Nothing Ever Happens
• Fall 2007 – Southern California wildfires• July 2008 – Mud/debris flows – Inyo County
Mud Flow• January 2009 – Medford Island Levee repair• August 2009 – Ship soft grounding – Bradford
Island • October 12-13, 2009 – Columbus Day Storms• Golden Guardian Exercise 2010/2011• F-CO Exercise 2009/2010/2011
