(A) A summary of the city’s emergency responsibility assignment, by function, is shown in the table below. Heads of the various city government departments and agencies will be responsible for carrying out the assignments shown in this table. Lastly, city departments and agencies are expected to develop whatever standard operating guidelines they may need in order to carry out these responsibilities.
(B) Responsibilities have been assigned by a code letter: “P”, “S”, and “C”.
(1) “P” indicates PRIMARY operational responsibility, which means the official or agency is in charge of, and responsible to make provisions for, that function. As a rule, only city government officials can be assigned primary responsibility for carrying out a function.
(2) “S” indicates SUPPORT responsibility, which means the agency so assigned will, if possible, support and assist the official or agency designated primarily responsible.
(3). “C” indicates COORDINATION responsibility, and is assigned when several agencies have support capability but no specific official or agency has obvious primary responsibility. This will be especially true when non-government agencies are involved.
