Fire Departments emergency preparedness manager will manage the DC. Support of activities stemming from the DC's planning activities will come from the member agencies. The member agencies will produce their respective plans and exercises that will tie into the City of Pleasanton's evolving emergency plans to meet our collective and collaborative groups overall goal of creating a disaster resilient community. The Citizen Corps Council (CCC) is comprised of those City program managers of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Neighborhood Watch, Volunteers -in- Police Services (VIPS) programs who oversee their respective organization's volunteers. In addition, with the City of Pleasanton's City Council approval of this body, the City Manager will be enabled to designate a City representative to the CCC. During planning and exercise development by the DC, adjunct members may attend CCC planning meetings. It is anticipated that the January 2010 will be the initial meeting of this body. The volunteer program managers will be supported by members of their volunteer group. Overall, emergency preparedness begins with the individual and expands to their family, neighborhood, and community. The CCC will enable coordination in disseminating existing emergency preparedness information and outreach programs developed through our CERT program to our Neighborhood Watch and VIPS community. In addition, the outreach activities will result in the CCC growing its cadre of volunteers who can be available to assist the City of Pleasanton when emergencies /disasters occur in staffing points of dispensing sites (PODS).

When activated to respond, the ACPHD will deliver PODS to locations designated by the city. Concurrently, the city will activate its pandemic plan and make available personnel to staff the PODS. Affiliated volunteers may be called upon to assist city staff to operate the PODS. The PODS may be in operation during normal business hours and will provide needed /available medications /vaccinations to our citizens and public.
