Review and promulgate the following Annexes: Access and Functional Needs, Animal Services, Transportation, Debris management, Food and Agriculture, Public Works and Engineering, Utilities and Volunteer and Donation Management.

The Board requested that the updated Emergency Support Function (ESF) Annexes to the County of Yolo Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) be reviewed and promulgated. Staff will present the ESF Annexes to the Board of Supervisors during several meetings, and in recent meetings the Board has promulgated several annexes.

The ESF Annexes detail Yolo County's strategic approach to managing emergency incidents and disasters, encompassing mitigation, preparedness, response, and restoration efforts. The updated operations plan provides clear guidance on how assigned primary and support agencies should execute their responsibilities, including developing and maintaining standard operating procedures and implementing necessary training and exercises. The ESF Annexes are integral to Yolo County's comprehensive emergency management strategy. Developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Comprehensive Planning Guide 101 (version 3) and California's Emergency Planning Guidance documents, these annexes outline specific roles and tasks for various agencies during emergencies. The revised ESF Annexes, designed to replace previous versions, ensure all involved agencies operate under the most current and effective procedures, enhancing their preparedness and response capabilities. Upon review and approval, the updated ESF plan will be disseminated digitally to all primary and support agencies with designated responsibilities.

Aligning all parties with the latest guidelines is crucial to ensuring they are equipped to handle their roles efficiently during emergencies. By implementing these annexes, the Board of Supervisors will enhance the County's preparedness and response capabilities and foster a coordinated and effective approach to managing crises and disasters in
Yolo County.

Documents for the following ESF Annexes are attached to the staff report.

County operational area partners include fire agencies, law agencies, reclamation districts, special districts, health and human services, county department heads, and other private-public partners.
