Diligent planning helps ensure the city can confidently deliver the services and capabilities most likely to be needed (i.e., core capabilities) during disaster response and recovery. This year OEM staff worked collaboratively with PFD and EPW to update the following annexes, in anticipation of state review and approval: Firefighting Search & Rescue Transportation Integrated Preparedness Plan F R S OEM, after collaborating with various city departments, convened an integrated preparedness workshop in February 2025 to socialize an updated multi-year preparedness training and exercise plan which establishes priorities for the forthcoming year.
