3 The Emergency Management Program of San BERNARDINO COUNTY , hereafter referred to as (the COUNTY ) is governed by a wide range of laws, regulations, plans, and policies. The program is administered and coordinated by the San BERNARDINO COUNTY Fire Department, Office of Emergency Services. The National Response Framework (NRF), National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the State of California Emergency Operations plan provide planning and policy guidance to counties and local entities. Collectively, these documents support the foundation for the COUNTY 's Emergency Operations plan (EOP). The EOP is an all-hazard plan describing how the COUNTY will organize and respond to incidents. It is based on and is compatible with the laws, regulations, plans, and policies listed above. The EOP describes how various agencies and organizations in the COUNTY will coordinate resources and activities with other Federal, State, COUNTY , local, and private-sector partners.

4 It is recognized that response to Emergency or disaster conditions to maximize the safety of the public and to minimize property damage is a primary responsibility of government. It is the goal of San BERNARDINO COUNTY that responses to such conditions are done in the most organized, efficient, and effective manner possible. To aid in accomplishing this goal, the COUNTY has adopted the principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), the National Response Framework (NRF), and the Incident Command System (ICS). Public officials, departments, employees, and volunteers that perform Emergency and/or first response functions must be properly prepared. Department heads and elected officials shall, to the extent possible, ensure that necessary training is provided to themselves and their employees to further prepare them to successfully carry out assigned Emergency response roles.

5 To the extent possible, procurement and maintenance of essential response equipment will also be accomplished in support of this goal. All Emergency response personnel and essential support staff must be familiar with this EOP and the supporting procedures and documents. RECENT TRENDS IN Emergency MANAGEMENT. Since 1996, a variety of emerging trends have influenced Emergency management, including an increasing diversity of California's population, greater vulnerability to floods and wildland fires as development expands, and the need for more emphasis on disaster recovery and hazard mitigation efforts to reduce disaster impact. At the national level, significant events such as Hurricane Katrina captured the world's attention and have widely influenced Emergency management today. 1. SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY . Section 1: Emergency Operations plan Part I Basic plan Forward According to a 2011 report issued by FEMA's Strategic Foresight Initiative (SFI); the Emergency management community faces a future with challenges likely to be far different from those we confront today with increasing complexity and decreasing predictability in its operating environment.

6 Complexity will take the form of more incidents, new and unfamiliar threats, more information to analyze (possibly with less time to process it), new players and participants, sophisticated technologies, and exceedingly high public expectations. Emergency services in San BERNARDINO COUNTY are provided without regard to race, gender, color, national origin, socioeconomic status, age, disability, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. OES MISSION STATEMENT. Through leadership and guidance, strengthen COUNTY -wide Emergency management capabilities to ensure the protection of life and property before, during and after disasters . 2.
