11. DWR’S ROLE

12. DWR’s Role: Emergencies Emergencies are declared by local, county (OA) or the State (Governor), not DWR or NWS DWR and NWS do not order evacuations The FOC provides public warnings & technical assessments for emergency managers, law enforcement and government agencies The FOC provides public information to the media and citizens

14. Flood Operations Organizational Concept

15. Flood Alerts and Activation Flood Alert is declared by the Flood Operations Branch Chief due to: Forecasts of sustained storm patterns and resulting flood potentials Need for coordinated field operations Technical assistance requests from local agencies Activation of local / regional emergency operations centers A Flood Alert is what “activates” the FOC under SEMS up to 24 hour operation

16. Flood Alerts and Activation Flood Mobilization is declared by the Flood Operations Branch Chief when the FOC needs additional: Personnel Equipment Material Financial resources
