- California Office of Emergency Services
The state’s Office of Emergency Services coordinates overall state agency response to major disasters in support of local government. The office is responsible for assuring the state’s readiness to respond to and recover from both natural and man-made disasters, and for assisting local governments in their emergency preparedness, response and recovery efforts.

- Emergency Operations Plans
Emergency Operations Plans (EOP’s) are guidance documents for handling and managing incidents, greater than day-to-day scale, including large or complex emergency events and disasters. The EOP’s are written from an “all risk” perspective, addressing traditional threat areas, including fire, law enforcement and the Emergency Medical System (EMS), but also including agriculture terrorism, public health threats, cyber terrorism, etc. EOP’s are developed around the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as well as the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). The plans of the county and cities not only meet the State of California approval criteria, but are developed on a similar framework and content to enhance inter-jurisdictional operations and mutual aid programs. Although all EOP’s in the Stanislaus Operational Area are quite similar in design, each is developed and written specifically for the jurisdiction. Each EOP is reviewed and adopted by the jurisdiction’s governing body and maintained by the local Emergency Manager. Stanislaus County’s EOP is available at the Stanislaus County Library and at the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.
- Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan [PDF]
Stanislaus County developed its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to its citizens and property from natural hazards. By planning to reduce the impacts of hazards, we are better able to prevent injury, loss of life, and damage to our homes, businesses, and neighborhoods. The elements of the Hazard Mitigation Plan include review of existing plans, risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities, development, description and implementation of strategies to minimize vulnerabilities, monitoring and updating the plan, and adoption of the plan by local governing bodies. Local agencies, businesses and community members participated in the processes that resulted in the development and adoption of the Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Citizens can volunteer to support local emergency responders, disaster relief, and community safety through the Citizen Corps, which provides appropriate training to volunteers.
- Disaster Planning for Animals
Effective coordination when a disaster affects animals enhances ability of emergency personnel to protect both human and animal health & safety. It is more efficient, effective, and inexpensive to develop plans prior to an incident that affects animals than during one.
