DWR Emergency Response Priorities
• Protect life, property, and infrastructure
• Protect water quality and water supply
• Protect the environment

Statewide Response
• Responsible for entire state
• Majority of responses within Central Valley
• Respond to any event that impacts our watersheds

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

Standardized EmergencyManagement System (SEMS)
• A framework for coordinating emergency response in California
• Utilizes the Incident Command System originally developed by fire agencies for managing wildfire response

FOC Program BackgroundDWR’s state-wide flood emergency responsibilities include:
• Coordinating with local, State, and federal agencies• Providing technical assistance during a flood
emergency• Requesting technical and/or flood fight assistance
from USACE on behalf of local agencies using PL 84-99
• Joint production and dissemination of flood forecasts and warnings in cooperation with the National Weather Service and the California-Nevada River Forecast Center
![Page 16: Department of Water Resources (DWR) Emergency Response/Services (ER/ES) GIS Unit](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070500/568168a6550346895ddf3f74/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FOC Program Background
• Emergency preparedness and response training• Flood fight training• A focal point for gathering, analyzing, and
disseminating forecasted meteorological and hydrological information to cooperating agencies, emergency managers, law enforcement, the news media, and the public.
• Development and maintenance of emergency response and business recovery plans, procedures, manuals, etc.
Year-round the FOC provides:

Flood Alerts and ActivationFlood 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
![Page 19: Department of Water Resources (DWR) Emergency Response/Services (ER/ES) GIS Unit](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070500/568168a6550346895ddf3f74/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Flood Alerts and Activation
Flood Mobilization is declared by the Flood Operations Branch Chief when the FOC needs additional:
•Personnel•Equipment•Material•Financial resources
