A RESOLUTION PROVIDING RECOGNITION OF THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY OPERATIONAL AREA ORGANIZATION
BY THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY.
WHEREAS Chapter 1, Division 7, California Military and
Veterans Code (California Disaster Act) provides that the State
of California Civil Defense and Disaster Plan shall be in effect
in each political subdivision of the State, and the governing
body of each such political subdivision shall take the action as
may be necessary to carry out the provisions thereof; and
WHEREAS, Part 11 of the State of California Civil Defense
and Disaster Plan designates each of the fifty -eight county areas
of California as an extreme emergency Operational Area and pro-
vides that local governments in each Operational Area should
establish an integrated emergency organization with a coordinator
responsible for coordinating the emergency operations of all the
several governments in an Operational Area; and
WHEREAS, the compelling need for an integrated county -wide
emergency organization is derived from the concept that the
coordination of emergency operations on a county -wide basis is

ing with conditions caused by an attack or warning of impending
attack; and

State of California Civil Defense and Disaster Plan as an inter-
mediate unit of the State of California Civil Defense Organization
for a WAR- CAUSED STATE OF EXTREME EMERGENCY, consisting of a
county government and all the city governments in the county
area, for the purpose of coordinating emergency operations con-
ducted by the several local governments in the area and to serve
as a wartime link in the system of communication and coordination
between the State's regional operating center and the operating
centers of the local governments comprising the Operational Area;
and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, at
the request of the Los Angeles County and Cities Disaster and
Civil Defense Commission, has created, by County Ordinance
No. 5582, a Los Angeles County Operational Area Organization
solely for the coordination of emergency operations on a county-
wide basis, applying the available resources of local governments

and disaster organization and the emergency services of this City
