SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
Under supervision of the Social Services Agency’s Director of Public Affairs, the vendor will develop
an integrated Agency Disaster Communications Plan, analyzing the Agency’s existing plans, while
identifying gaps in the Children’s Annex and County Emergency Operations Plan. The vendor will
recommend solutions to solidify and strengthen the Agency’s emergency mutual-aid responses, in the
event of a widespread disaster.
SSA is mandated by the State of California to be the lead agency for Mass Care and Shelter for
Alameda County in a disaster or major emergency. In the event of a disaster, SSA will provide trained
employees to staff the Mass Care and Shelter Branch of the County Emergency Operations Center, as
well as support the field operation of Red Cross designated mass shelter sites for both people and pets.
In addition, SSA will help provide County disaster mutual-aid resources to citizens and families
impacted by disaster.
In light of these responsibilities, SSA sought the assistance of professional disaster response planners to
provide national expertise in assessing emergency operations, coordinated service integrations and
disaster plan synergy.
