Sheltering RAMONA COMMUNITY PROTECTION & EVACUATION PLAN SECTION J – SHELTERING The first priority is the safety of the people in the community. Under the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization Annex G, Care and Shelter Operations, County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is responsible for providing food, clothing, shelter and immediate psychological needs and first aid care of people affected by a disaster.* Mass care and shelter is an organized way of providing safe havens for large numbers of people temporarily displaced from their dwellings by natural, technological or man-made emergencies or disasters. Annex G is specifically designed to address the need for temporary shelter during large-scale emergencies and/or major disasters. This plan does not apply to day-to-day emergencies. Typically, the American Red Cross Chapter is capable of responding to day-to-day emergencies that require sheltering, using their own resources. In disasters, most of the shelter facilities will be in schools (primarily middle and high schools), public buildings/parks and churches. It is not safe to pre-designate shelter sites. There are many kinds of disasters that may affect a community: a wind-driven fire, roads closed by flooding, a building damaged by an earthquake, or a weapons of mass destruction disaster. These events may render potential shelters in a community unsafe. Communities should be aware of the schools, public buildings and churches in their vicinity and in neighboring communities, with the understanding that their use as a shelter will be determined at the time of the disaster. Responsibility for notifying the Red Cross of an incident requiring shelter operations rests with the Incident Commander at the scene or by the Office of Emergency Services. Announcements of shelter openings are made through the Emergency Alert Systems, established public information channels (ex: KOGO), 858-309-1200 and the 2-1-1 information and referral toll-free number (effective July 2005). Residents should not proceed to shelters without notification/approval by law enforcement, emergency personnel or through media sources, as this could jeopardize their safety and/or impede the emergency responders. Red Cross administrative responsibility for mass care and financial control are inseparable. As noted in Annex G: “In assuming responsibility for relief, therefore, the Red Cross requires that all funds used by it in 1

Jurisdictions opening shelters or otherwise extending relief to victims of disaster without Red Cross concurrence will assume all financial responsibility for such relief.” *The American Red Cross (ARC) as mandated by Federal Law 36-USC-3 and reaffirmed in Public Law 93-288 (Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974), provides disaster relief in peacetime. 2
