Page 14 November 10, 2016 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Disaster Preparedness from front page members of the City’s Disaster Council, which meets monthly (most recently on October 25) to review and plan for emergencies. The group additionally includes the City Manager; Emergency Manager Consultant; representatives from the Police, Fire and Public Works departments; El Segundo Unified School District officials; and a business community member (currently vacant). To build public awareness, the city hosted a Disaster Preparedness Fair on October 15 and also recently posted a new Disaster Preparedness Guide on its website home page (elsegundo.org) with a “collection of information, checklists and guides to help all community members get prepared.” The more than 40 pages of data lay out detailed steps for families to craft a disaster plan that includes escape routes, safe meeting and potential reunion places, supplies and documents to prioritize (including for pets), shelter locations, and communication methods. The Guide also covers plans for schools and workplaces. It goes on to outline recommended disaster supply kit items and tools for the home, workplace and car--with the assumption that public safety personnel will likely be so inundated in the wake of an emergency that local citizens will have to survive on their own for three days or more. Mayor Fuentes thought to figure that timeline as more like a week to 10 days. Several pages discuss the importance of stocking water reserves, the type of containers to use, decontamination/ treatment steps, and supply management. The Guide also considers food supply storage, management and preparation. The final 20 pages begin with how to react during an earthquake, along with evacuation plans and shelter options—and then delves into national security incidents such as terrorism, cyber attacks, building explosions, chemical and biological weapons, and nuclear/ radiological events. It wraps up with a list of important websites and phone numbers providing disaster planning information and assistance. “The Disaster Preparedness Guide is something every resident and business person in town should both print out and have ready-to-go on their phone, tablet or computer,” Fuentes said. “[Executive Assistant] Mickie Tagle did a great job assembling the book. This is the kind of information that will save lives when the time comes.” The Mayor made it a personal priority to re-establish a full-time Emergency Services Manager—a position that has been vacant for several years due to the City’s prior budget woes. She and her Council colleagues recently allocated $70,000 for the rest of the current fiscal year and $105,000 annually thereafter to fund the position with an in-house employee. Also on the docket is a recommitment to Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training—the 20-hour course spread over several sessions that covers light search and rescue, disaster medical (e.g. fixing broken bones), fire extinguisher training, general disaster preparedness, terrorism and disaster psychology. “Fire Chief Chris Donovan has been a great addition to the city and his department is going to reinvigorate CERT,” Fuentes, who took the course in 2011, said. On a related note, El Segundo Fire Department paramedics are now County-approved to medically treat victims onsite—a time-critical action that can improve mortality rates, while reducing hemorrhage shock and other lifethreating ailments. Boyles noted that the Disaster Council will track, measure and report the number of residents and employees trained for both CERT and school emergency readiness teams. “The more who are trained, the better off we will all be when a disaster occurs,” he said, adding that the City also plans to begin its own simulations and responses to disaster scenarios on a semi-monthly basis. “These will be graded and reported upon.” Almost 23 years have passed since the last major shaker in the Southland (Northridge in January 1994). “It’s unfortunate to say it, but the reality is we are overdue for another quake and so it behooves us to be ready for that as well as any other potential disaster,” Fuentes said. “I am proud of the steps El Segundo has taken to be one of the most prepared cities in the region.” • PUBLIC NOTICES Order to Show Cause for Change of Name Case No. NS032816 Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES Petition of: HENRY GOMEZ for Change of Name TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS: Petitioner HENRY GOMEZ filed a petition with this court for a decree changing names as follows: HENRY GOMEZ to HENRY TAVIRA The Court orders that all persons interested in this matter appear before this court at the hearing indicated below to show cause, if any, why the petition for change of name should not be granted.
