Notification Protocols Clause Samples

Notification Protocols. The Public Notification System is activated by the Director of Emergency Services of Yuba County to provide public instructions to local TV and radio stations before activating sirens. All media outlets must be notified of the emergency such that they are providing public alert announcements. The actual verbal or written messages that will be given – whether through the media or other messaging systems – are the responsibility of the Public Information Officer, the EOC, and the Joint Information Center when it is open. Sample notices are contained in Appendix D. In case of an evacuation, Yuba County OES will notify the area’s special needs care providers of the emergency. These providers will be asked to notify their clients in the affected area and give instructions to their clients. {NOTE: Service providers will need ongoing training that the Yuba County OES would provide as to how this evacuation coordination will occur, and as to how combined resources can work together to affect a successful evacuation of the special needs clients. Currently, only some of the service providers are prepared to offer this notification support, or may only provide client notification during work hours.}
