2025 Emergency Preparedness Ad Hoc Committee
During his tenure as Mayor, Councilmember Corey Calaycay created an Ad Hoc Committee to review the City's Emergency Management policies and practices and make recommendations for future emergency preparedness measures.
The Emergency Preparedness Ad Hoc Committee approved a draft Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for City Council consideration. The Committee also directed staff to share the EOP with each City Commission during a regular meeting, after the EOP has been approved by City Council.
Based on this direction, staff:
- Finalized formatting/structure of draft EOP document.
- Provided a report on the work of the Emergency Preparedness Ad Hoc Committee during the joint City Council/CUSD Board of Education meeting on November 13, 2025.
- Will present a formal staff report and EOP for City Council during its regular meeting on January 13, 2026.
- Will present the formally adopted EOP to each City Commission in 2026.
- Will coordinate future “tabletop exercises” (larger-scale emergency drills) with some of our partner agencies who presented to the Emergency Preparedness Ad Hoc Committee.
