4 Environmental Analysis 4.18 Wildfire 2022 CAL FIRE Santa Clara Unit Strategic Fire Plan The CAL FIRE Santa Clara Unit prepares an annual Strategic Fire Management Plan (SCU SFP) for each coming fire season. The 2022 SCU SFP documents an assessment of the fire situation in the Unit, includes stakeholder contributions and priorities, and identifies strategic targets for pre-fire solutions within the five counties (Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus) of the CAL FIRE Santa Clara Unit. The SCU SFP is developed to achieve the goals and objectives of the greater 2022 CAL FIRE Strategic Fire Plan for California. As part of development of the SCU SFP, Pre-fire Engineering includes GIS mapping of values at risk, wildland fuel belts, and the maintenance of various other GIS data layers to assess the existing levels of wildland protection services, identify high-risk and high-value areas that are potential locations for costly and damaging wildfires, rank these areas in terms of priority needs, and prescribe what can be done to reduce future costs and losses. The SCU SFP provides planning information on a Unit-wide scale and recognizes the variation in fuels, weather, topography, and community/agency priorities present in each county. It is intended to be a dynamic planning tool for promoting wildfire protection efforts in the Unit (CAL FIRE 2022c). San Joaquin County Emergency Operations Plan The San Joaquin County Emergency Operations Plan (SJC EOP) establishes the central role of the San Joaquin County Emergency Operations Center(EOC) in the overall incident management of emergencies and major disasters, while emphasizing coordination with incident command(s) in the field as well as other emergency operations/coordination centers. Under this plan, the SJC EOC is responsible for collecting and disseminating information; fulfilling or forwarding resource requests; and setting priorities or policies specific to an incident. The SJC EOP establishes a systematic and synchronized process to facilitate emergency preparedness, promote hazard mitigation, and coordinate emergency response and disaster recovery activities and actions. The SJC EOP identifies the primary responsibilities of San Joaquin County government before, during, and after emergencies and major disasters, while recognizing the significant roles of federal, tribal, state, and other local government agencies, as well as the private sector, and non-governmental organizations/private nonprofits (NGO/PNP). The primary objective of the SJC EOP is to coordinate the personnel, facilities, and other resources of the County into an efficient organization capable of responding to any emergency, disaster, or planned event. The SJC EOP defines the emergency management organization and details the method by which the County will coordinate emergency response both internally within their jurisdiction and externally with outside response organizations. The SJC EOP further details the EOC, including activation, responsibilities, and operational procedures. The SJC EOP was last updated in February 2022 (San Joaquin County 2022c). Alameda County Emergency Operations Plan The purpose of the Alameda County Emergency Operations Plan (AC EOP) is to establish the foundational policies and procedures that define how Alameda County will effectively prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against natural or human-caused disasters. It provides a description of the emergency management organization and how it is activated. The AC EOP, adopted in December 2012, establishes policies and procedures, in addition to assigning Griffith Energy Storage Project 4.18-11 Tetra Tech/SCH 2022120675 Draft Environmental Impact Report August 2023
