GENERAL BACKGROUND The City of Palm Springs recognizes that protecting our citizens and visitors is the primary responsibility of local government officials. The ability to fulfill this responsibility depends on the skills and abilities of the City Employees. To that end, all city departments have been actively participating in the exercise planning to ensure that their department is adequately trained and equipped to deal with any large-scale emergency in a timely and proficient manner. 2. CONCEPT, PURPOSE, SCOPE, AND OBJECTIVES A. CONCEPT On Wednesday, March 19, 2003, at 1000, A Richter Magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck the Coachella Valley, approximately 4 miles southeast of Desert Hot Springs near the I-10 Corridor and Date Palm. Cities affected are Coachella, Indio, Palm Desert, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, Aquinas, Patin Springs and Cathedral City. Unincorporated areas of eastern Riverside County have also experienced major damage. The alternate EOC in Indio has been activated in support of the exercise. • The City of Palm Springs, the Patin Springs International Airport, Palm Springs Unified School District, Desert Regional Medical Center, American Red Cross, AMR Ambulance, St Theresa School, the Media, and other Palm Springs agencies and businesses are participating in this full scale exercise. The City of Palm Springs Emergency Operations Center(EOC) will be activated. B. PURPOSE This earthquake exercise is being conducted to improve the readiness and capabilities of the City in responding to, and managing a large-scale "disaster" such as a 7.4 earthquake. C. SCOPE General. The basic goal of this exercise, as defined by the Coachella Valley Emergency Managers Association, is to test the comrnunications, information flow and feedback systems as relate to a catastrophic disaster event within the Coachella Valley. Resulting information will be utilized to improve the functional systems that exist, and identify areas for • improvement. • Key Participants. The key participants for the Palm Springs earthquake exercise will be all city departments including the City Council, the Palm Springs hiternational Airport, Desert Regional Medical Center and St Theresa School. D. OBJECTIVES Primary objectives for this exercise are to: 1. Assess notification and activation procedures. 2. Evaluate internal communications systems. 3. Assess procedures for damage assessment. 4. Assess individual department activities and procedures. 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of the "Disaster Council" as outlined in Ordinance 2.20 6. Simulate the Declaration of a local emergency as prescribed in Ordinance 2.20 3. REFERENCES • A. Palm Springs Disaster Ordinance 2.20 B. California Goverment Code 8607 C. Senate Bill 1841, Standardized Emergency Management System D. The Federal Response Plan 4. EXERCISE EVALUATION All participants involved in the exercise will conduct a departmental evaluation of their activities after the exercise. Each department director will participate in an overall evaluation of the city exercise approximately one week after the exercise. From this meeting, an After Action Report will be developed to document the strengths and weaknesses of the City's response and incident management system. A list of recommendations will be developed for implementation to strengthen the City's response to a major emergency. • EXERCISE NARRATIVE This scenario is based on modeling studies performed by James D. Goltz, from the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, Seismological Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, March 10, 2003. A 7.4 magnitude earthquake centered in the Coachella Valley is a"worse case scenario". There is a 20%+ chance of this earthquake happening in the next 30 years. The shaking intensity of this earthquake could reach a Mercalli Scale Index Rating of X(extreme), with significant structural damage to buildings beginning at shaking intensities of VII to VIII (very strong and severe). Through out the Coachella Valley there would likely be over 79,000 damaged buildings, 300 fatalities, 12,000 injuries, 18,000 displaced households, and 3.5 Billion in economic losses. The effects of an earthquake of this magnitude are staggering. Most hospitals and medical facilities would suffer moderate to major damage, most schools would be damaged in varying degrees, public safety facilities such as police stations and fire stations would sustain major to moderate damage, and the airport would sustain moderate damage. Bridges and major roadways would be damaged which would isolate Palm Springs fiom outside assistance for several days. The water system would be impacted by lack of a delivery system (water mains), but water would be stored in the above ground reservoirs for manual delivery. Response from city employees would be limited to those employees on duty, and those that live within an 8-mile distance from City Hall. It is likely that some city owned buildings would sustain structural damage and numerous employees would be injured. Those employees who are on duty would have desire to check the welfare of their family • members before focusing on the recovery efforts of the City. Outside assistance could be expected within 3 days and the recovery process would last years. -- Earthquake Planning Scenario-- Rapid Instrumental Intensity Map for San Andreas southern rupture Scenario Scenario Date:Wed Nov 14,2001 04:00:00 AM PST M 7.4 N33.92 W11 6.47 35' %21 F. _EtYWAFjfi AFB- - - LM HFS I - - � � - _,•♦• ' ",.PALVALE, VCTO�`fVILLE Poo Ti y 1 34 5 -.r alofa� = ec EARLES - f • i 34' RIVEgSIDE r s NG EACH I L.PV _ A _. rIR1 JE S fIT�ENr9i w � _ ,_-_'_ =I_ _- _ fr _ _ _ r, 60, PA fy 61 _ f.. �Rl- _ ND .
