Committee Focus• Compliance with General Order 103-A’s safety standards• Compliance with Assembly Bill 1650’s emergency preparedness
requirements• Preparation and updating of utility emergency preparedness plans
on file with the California Department of Public Health• Inter-company communications and support on actual disasters• Ongoing interface with Cal EMA, particularly through the Golden
Guardian Exercise Program: California’s annual statewide emergency operations exercise series; coordination between NorCal and SoCal water utilities
• Leveraging the California Water/Waste Water Agency Response Network (CalWARN) with CWA member companies
• Statistical reports, surveys, etc. on safety-related issues for regulated water companies
Productive Paranoia Paranoid behavior is enormously functional if fear is
channeled into extensive preparation and calm,
clear headed action. ~Jim Collins, Great by Choice
Productive Paranoia. Collins categorized successful leaders as "paranoid, neurotic freaks." They are always preparing for when, not if, the next big disruption is going to happen. They may be preparing for the worst -- one company he studied prided itself on predicting the majority of the recessions in the past several
decades -- but their pessimism pays off.
