The Sausalito Disaster Preparedness/Emergency Operations Program has the major responsibility of preparing the City of Sausalito for disasters, and has provided disaster preparedness information and training to all City departments as well as citizens’ groups that have requested assistance.
The Director of Emergency Services and the Emergency Services Manager are the main contacts and conduit for Emergency Management information to other city, county and state agencies.
The program provides representatives to the Office of Emergency Services Coordinators and the Marin County Emergency Service Mangers/Coordinators meetings.
The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated during extraordinary emergencies and disasters.
The Emergency Staff is made up of City personnel who act as section chiefs and are supported by City staff.
The primary duties are to plan and coordinate all response and recovery operations utilizing the Incident Command System.
Meetings are held monthly in the EOC room at Fire Station 1.
