BACKGROUND <br /> The American National Red Cross (Red Cross), a non-profit corporation chartered by <br /> the United States Congress, provides services to individuals, families and communities <br /> when disasters strike. The disaster relief activities of the Red Cross are made possible <br /> by the American public who support the Red Cross with generous donations. The Red <br /> Cross's disaster services are also supported by facility owners who permit the Red <br /> Cross to use their building as shelters and other service delivery sites for disaster <br /> victims. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The City of Pleasanton and the Red Cross have had a long-standing partnership in <br /> efforts related to disaster preparedness, response and recovery. In addition to <br /> providing the framework of cooperation and support, the MOU provides the descriptions <br /> of readiness and response activities, such as planning, training, exercising and <br /> resourcing. It also provides the clarification of roles and responsibilities of the Red <br /> Cross and Pleasanton to the community and other agencies. The MOU provides for <br /> mutually beneficial and coordinated disaster preparedness services. <br /> Su•mitted by: Fiscal view: Approv by: <br /> /'uben Torres Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Fire Chief Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: 1.
