DATE*. June 1 , 1988 Ca.*
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Senate Bill 2525 (Garamendi)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 2525 by Senator Garamendi
which requires the State Office of Emergency Services to survey
local agencies to determine the map needs of local emergency
response systems, giving special attention to the map needs of
counties with urban or suburban populations and a high exposure
to natural or technological risks.
BACKGROUND:
SB 2525 has been introduced by Senator Garamendi because at this
point State and local agencies do not use any common maps, and
the State Office of Emergency Services does not have a full set
of maps which provide rapid access to correct map information for
every part of the State. SB 2525 establishes a State emergency
planning and response map repository within the State Office of
Emergency Services which is required to contain copies of maps of
every geographic region in the State.
In addition, the State Office of Emergency Services is required
to survey local agencies to determine their map needs. Finally,
the Interagency Computer Mapping Coordinating Committee is
required to evaluate the capabilities of State agencies to create
maps using standard digital data bases which include information
critical for emergency responders. They are required to submit a
report to the Legislature by June 30, 1989 . This report will
have to include the results of the survey of local agencies ' map
needs and recommendations for meeting those local needs.
SB 2525 appropriates $200,000 from the State General Fund for all
of the above actions.
The Director of the Office of Emergency Services recommends that
the Board of Supervisors support SB 2525 on the basis that it
will go a long ways toward helping local agencies meet their
