Adoption of Collaborative Systems and Standards <br />The City of Santa Ana recognizes that a large -scale emergency or disaster may have <br />the potential to overwhelm the commonly available resources and capabilities of the City <br />and may require the combined response of numerous agencies, jurisdictions and levels of <br />government. Therefore, the City participates in the Orange County Operational Area <br />response and recovery organization as provided by California Emergency Services Act <br />Section 8605 and is a signatory to the Orange County Operational Area Agreement. The <br />City adopts the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the <br />federal National Incident Management System (NIMS) as a basis for emergency plans and <br />response. The framework of these systems includes use of the Incident Command System <br />(ICS), multi- agency and interagency coordination, participation in the Master Mutual Aid <br />Agreement and Systems of the State of California, and the Operational Area concept. The <br />City of Santa Ana will comply with the provisions of the California Emergency Services Act. <br />Section 6.
