NORMAN B. GOODRICH
MAYOR
LETTER OF PROMULGATION
To the Citi~ens of the City of Gilroy:
The preservation of life and property is an inherent responsibility
of the local, state, and federal governments. The City of Gilroy, 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 emergency.
We approve and subscribe to those provisions of the California Emergency
Plan and Emergency Resources Management Plan which apply to city government.
This city 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 city emergency organiza-
tion and emergency operations.
The objectives of this plan are to incorporate and coordinate all the
facilities and personnel of the city into an efficient organization capable of
reacting adequately in the face of any disaster, and to conduct such operations
as the nature of the disaster requires, whether it be to combat a local emergency
or to assist other jurisdictions, should they suffer an emergency.
I give my utmost support to this plan and urge each citizen of the city,
individually and collectively, to do his share in the total emergency effort of
the City of Gilroy.
Si ncere ly,
~
Norman B. Goodrich
Mayor of the City of Gilroy

D. PLANNING FACTORS
1. General
a.Description of Jurisdiction
The City of Gilroy with a growing-population of more than
20,000 people is located at the southern end of the Santa
Clara Valley. The city is served by prinCipal north-south
transportation routes, U.S. Highway 101 and the Southern
Pacific Railroad. East-west highways lead across the
bordering ranges by way of Pacheco and Hecker Passes. The
city government with its organized and trained police, fire
and public works forces, with active assistance of its citizens
can act forcefully to minimize losses of life and property.
Organized medical, transportation, manufacturing, distribution,
educational, utility and volunteer groups can augment city
forces.
b. Basic Requirement
The California Emergency Services Act, (Chapter 7 of Division
1 of Title 2 of the Government Code) in Article 3, Section 8568,
states, "The State Emergency Plan shall be in effect in each
political subdivision of the state, and the governing body of
each.political subdivision shall take such action as may be
necessary to carry out the provisi~ns thereof." This plan
is consistent and compatible with the State Emergency Plan.
c. The Emergency Response System
Civil government, augmented and reinforced during an emergency,
conducts emergency operations, provides or utilizes mutual aid,
and controls critical and essential resources. Civil govern-
ment also provides support to military forces engaged in re-
taliatory or defensive operations.

WARNING SYSTEMS
(
I. GENERAL
The warning system is the means for relaying notice of impending or
attack from various levels of government to the public. Regardless
effectiveness of the warning system, it can do no more than inform.
the response to warning by the total emergency organization and the
which is important. Appropriate responses and affective use of the
information may be limited by the amount of time available.
actual
of the
It is
pub lic
warning
Refer to the Warning Annex of this emergency plan, and to appropriate SOP's,
with respect to procedures for disseminating warning.
II. ACTIONS
Warning actions are characterized by high priority 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 activation of
the systelO on short notice, and readiness to repeat all actions in the
event of successive alert or attacks.
(
The National Warning System (NAWAS) feeds warning information to the State
Warning Point. (The statewide warning points also hear the NAWAS information
but do not take action from it.) After the State Warning Point transmits
the warning condition, the Santa Clara County Communications Center uses
radio, teletype and telephones to inform local governments, schools, and
industry. Local authorities then inform the public by means of outdoor
warning devices, mobile loudspeakers, and other devices.
Upon activation by the President, the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) will
provide warning information to the public. (See Attachment E - EBS)
III. FACILITIES
Warning information is received by the City of Gilroy at the Chestnut Fire
Station, by radio from the South County Communications Center. Similar
warning information is received simultaneously at the Police Department
and the Gilroy station of the South Santa Clara County Fire District.
A segment of the general public receives warning by means of an air horn
located at the Chestnut Fire Station, and the remaining population will
be notified by mobile sirens and other available means. In addition, the
Emergency Broadcast System is expected to provide coverage for a large
part of the population.
Notice of warning is also broadcast from the various county and city communi-
cations centers to special facilities (schools, hospitals, fire stations,
utility stations, etc.) Key workers of emergency organizations are alerted
,by means of monitor receivers or by telephone.

ATTACHMENT D
( EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
I. GENERAL
The communications systems installed at or controlled from the EOC will support
the field activities of elements of the emergency organization. Other communi-
cations systems provide links to nearby jurisdictions (cities and counties),
or to higher levels of the statewide emergency organization. Radio systems
are augmented in an emergency by radio systems licensed to other agencies of
government, to private industry, and to individuals.
During a STATE OF WAR EMERGENCY, privately owned radio systems, equipment, and
facili ties, subject to approval by the licensee, wi 11 generally be used to
support the field activities of emergency services not already linked directly
to the EOC.
Routine dispatching of Police, Fire, and Ambulance forces which serve the
City of Gilroy is handled by the South County Communications Center in Gilroy
(includes the "911" emergency call system).
When it is prepared, additional information on communications actions, organi-
~ations, and systems may be found in a separate annex to this plan. All radio
equipment will be operated in compliance with FCC rules and regulations.
II. OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Communications Section
The Communications Section, which is one of several staff sections organized
and assigned to the EOC,is responsible for basic communications for the
direction and control of emergency operations. This section handles
messages directed outside the EOC and processes and distributes messages
within the EOC.
It is expected that the South County Communications Center will continue
to be the city's primary dispatch center_ for most emergency forces even
in the event of a major disaster. The ch~ef of the Communications Section
will, nevertheless, be responsible for supplementing these county services
should the need arise.
The city has certain communications equipment of its own at the EOC, and
operators for this equipment will be provided by those agencies regularly
using these systems. The communications chief will also arrange for
personnel to service and maintain emergency communications systems under
city control.

the public by various media. The EBS and outdoor warning devices (sirens
and horns) are the primary media. Other media are the mobile loudspeakers,
bulletins, handbills, and the press. The Emergency Public Information
Officer will release all emergency public information originated by this
city.
D. Message Priorities
General classifications of messages and their priorities are as follows:
Emergency messages
Operational priority
Priori.ty messages
Routine messages
Highest priority
Second priority
Third priority
Lowest priority
Each message should be classified by its originator, and specific priorities
will be assigned in accordance with rules issued by the Emergency Services
Director or the Communications Section Chief.

The various emergency services will estimate their communications require-
ments and deficiencies and advise the communications chief. The Procurement
and Manpower Section will assist in acqui~ing needed items.

EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM (EBS)
I. GENE RAL
The state has been segmented into "EBS Operational Areas" for the purpose
of disseminating emergency information.
Each "EBS Operational Area" encompasses one or more county areas. Selected
EBS stations have been provided with fallout-protected facilities. Other
unprotected but authorized EBS stations will continue to operate as conditions
permit. The County of Santa Clara is designated as a separate EBS Operational
Area.
All authorized stations in each "EBS Operational Area" will broadcast a common
program. A "program entry point" has been established for each EBS area.
Emergency Services authorities for each jurisdiction will prepare emergency
information and action instructions pertinent to the people in the respective
jurisdictions, which will be routed to the designated program entry point for
broadcas to
II. OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Authorized stations will continue to broadcast on regular assigned frequencies
during a WAR EMERGENCY, but the use of call letter identification will cease
with the activation of EBS. Instead, stations will broadcast area identifica-
tion. Listeners will be advised to monitor those stations which serve the area
in which they are located, since EBS announcements may vary according to area
served.
III. FACILITIES
Emergency information input, for this city, will be forwarded to the Santa

EMERGENCY RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
I. GENERAL
In a war emergency, the federal government contemplates that both direct and
indirect mandatory controls will be impos~d throughout the nation to conserve
critical 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 genera'lly 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
resources 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.
II. OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Many of the critical resources needed to sustain survivors and the defense
effort will be destroyed.
B. Damage to transportation facilities, equipment, and supplies will seriously
restrict distribution of surviving resources.
C. State and local governments, in cooperation with the federal government,
will control a llocation and dispersa I of remaining resources. (The pro-
cedure for such controls is 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).
II!. ACTIONS
A. The Resources Management Coordinator, appo.inted by the Direc tor of Emergency
Services, will coordinate the management of resources under city control
as delegated by the county and state resources management agencies.
B. The assigned staff of the Administrative Services, Law Enforcement, and
Mass Care Services sections of the city emergency organization will
constitute this city's Emergency Resources Management Divisions and will
maintain liaison with and support the county, state, and federal resources
management effort. (See Chart A in Basic Plan)
