FOREWARD
The City of Seal Beach Evacuation Plan (the Plan) is designed to provide the City of Seal Beach
with information on evacuation protocols.
The procedures in this Plan are intended to be flexible enough to account for a wide variety of
scenarios with varying responsibilities for emergency response personnel; at the same time, no
plan can provide a complete set of actions for every conceivable emergency situation. Officials
within the City of Seal Beach's emergency response organization (ERO) have the authority to
modify the procedures established in this Plan during an emergency situation to improve the
City's response, as needed.
The Plan is a living document and can be updated as needed by contacting the City of Seal
Beach's Emergency Services Coordinator.

City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
Introduction
Purpose
This Evacuation Plan provides guidance for the evacuation and relocation operations of an
affected population, typically involving SO individuals or more, within the City of Seal Beach
during an emergency event, including natural disasters, homeland security emergencies, and
technical fault incidents. The Plan addresses the City department roles and responsibilities as
well as the alert and warning systems that should be utilized to notify the affected population.
The Plan also outlines specific evacuation zones based on historical incidents and evacuation
routes. Temporary Evacuation Points (TEPs) and shelters for evacuated populations are
addressed as well as repopulation planning.
Objectives
The objectives of this Evacuation Plan are to provide the City of Seal Beach with a comprehensive
plan that expedites and guides:
• Movement of people out of the threatened areas to safe locations
• Control evacuation traffic to ensure the safety of evacuees and a rapid, smooth exit from
the threatened areas
• Provide transportation to individuals with limited mobility, including those with
disabilities and individuals lacking access to personal vehicles
• Perimeter control and security for the evacuated areas
• Procure, allocate, and use additional personnel and resources from mutual aid or other
sources to the extent needed
• Emergency alert and warning of affected population
• Public information
• Repopulation planning
• Establishment of a Temporary Evacuation Point (TEP) for evacuated population
Background & Assumptions
The largest evacuation within the City of Seal Beach would be due to flooding/coastline
disturbances, a major earthquake, or a tsunami. Any of these disaster events could require the
residents to evacuate due to life safety issues.
Flooding and Coastline Disturbances
As a coastal community, flooding and coastline disturbances are the hazards that may pose the
greatest risk to Seal Beach, particularly if a powerful storm occurs in conjunction with high tides.
Coastal flooding (coastline disturbances) occurs when water levels rise or are pushed high
enough to inundate areas that are normally dry. The coastal areas of Seal Beach may be
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
inundated immediately before or during a large storm due to storm surge (large waves pushed
ashore by strong winds). Storm surges are often associated with hurricanes, although any storm
event can generate them.
Coastal flooding events have happened in Seal Beach's recent history, such as coastal street
flooding in 2008 and caused minor damage to a building in 2014. FEMA flood maps indicate that
the areas in Seal Beach most vulnerable to 100 -year floods are areas adjacent to the San Gabriel
River and flood control channels, the main beach, the southeastern end of Electric Avenue, and
parts of the Old Ranch Golf Course.
The City of Seal Beach identifies a number of potential flooding areas in the community:
■ Several parts of downtown /Old Town Seal Beach, including the Pacific Coast Highway
near Seal Beach Blvd, the Pacific Coast Highway near 5th Street, 1st Street, Ocean
Avenue, Seal Way, Main Street, and Marina Drive
■ The area around Leisure World, including Westminster Blvd and Seal Beach Blvd
• The Pacific Coast Highway near the San Gabriel River
■ The College Park East neighborhood in northern Seal Beach, adjacent to the Joint Forces
Training Base in Los Alamitos, and including Interstate 405 and the northern parts of Seal
Beach Blvd
• The College Park West neighborhood near the San Gabriel River and Interstate 405
• The Bridgeport area
Earthquakes
Two strong earthquakes have struck Seal Beach in relatively recent memory: the 1933 Long
Beach earthquake (6.3 on the Richter scale) and the 1994 Northridge earthquake (6.8 on the
Richter scale). There are three faults within 60 miles of Seal Beach that are capable of producing
significant earthquakes:
• Newport- Inglewood Fault zone —the second -most active fault in California, is made up of
three distinct segments and several faults and fractures. It extends from the Santa
Monica Mountains to Newport Beach; one segment of the fault zone, the Seal Beach
Fault, runs through the southern portion of Seal Beach.
• Whittier - Elsinore Fault zone — runs from near the California- Mexico border to the Chino
Hills region. The Whittier Fault is the closest segment to Seal Beach, approximately 16
miles from the community, although the branches most likely to affect Seal Beach are the
Glen Ivy North and Glen Ivy South Faults, approximately 20 to 25 miles away.
• Palos Verdes Fault zone — extends from San Pedro to the Coronado Banks area off the
coast of San Diego, passing approximately 15 miles offshore from Seal Beach.
Major earthquakes along any of these faults could cause significant damage to Seal Beach. In
addition to the direct damage caused by the shaking of the ground, earthquakes can contribute
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
to a hazard called liquefaction. Seal Beach sits above a fairly high groundwater table, making
liquefaction an issue of concern, particularly as most of the buildings in the community are in
areas of elevated liquefaction potential and were built prior to 1970, increasing the risk that they
are structurally unsound. The Seal Beach General Plan Safety Element identifies the Seal Beach
Naval Weapons Station and the northern parts of the community as being at a heightened risk of
liquefaction.
Earthquakes can also result in landslides, either directly as a result of ground shaking or indirectly
when the soil acquires a more fluid consistency as a result of liquefaction. Although the Seal
Beach topography makes landslides unlikely throughout much of the community, it is an issue of
concern in the steep slope areas adjacent to Gum Grove Park and the "Hill" residential tract.
Tsunamis
Local earthquakes, as well as those in Alaska, Japan, and South America, may cause tsunamis
that affect Seal Beach. An analysis by the California Office of Emergency Services found that the
Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and the parts of the community below the Pacific Coast
Highway are at risk of inundation from tsunamis, including the downtown /Old Town area.
Although tsunamis do travel very fast, advance warning of one is likely unless the event
triggering the tsunami occurs extremely close to Seal Beach. If the tsunami is triggered by a local
source, the City's Tsunami Evacuation Playbook anticipates a 10- to 30- minute travel time and
identifies a wave height of 2 to 8 feet above sea level for various tsunami scenarios. A tsunami
triggered by a distant source could reach Seal Beach in as little as two hours and as much as 13
hours, and could generate waves of up to 14 feet.
Evacuation Planning
The amount of time to conduct an evacuation may vary considerably. In some instances, a
community may have multiple days of notice that an emergency situation may occur, such as
with a hurricane. In other instances, a community may only receive advance notification of a few
hours. Seal Beach should be prepared for both eventualities, so it is critical to plan for evacuation
activities before emergency conditions develop. When planning for an evacuation, consider the
following:
• Why is the evacuation needed (e.g., what is the risk to community members, and is the
risk sufficient that other options, such as sheltering in place, are not feasible)?
• What areas of the community may need to be evacuated, and how many people will
need to be evacuated in each instance?
• What are the best evacuation routes out of the community or impacted area?
• What personnel and resources (including transportation) are needed to safely and
effectively evacuate the impacted area(s)?
• How will access to the evacuated area(s) be controlled?

Legal Guidelines
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services established guidelines intended to clarify
and explain the legal authority that state and local political subdivisions and public safety
agencies may use to initiate, maintain, and enforce restrictions on the movement of persons and
property. The guidelines focus on issues local government officials may face when evaluating the
potential evacuation of their populations in the event of an emergency or disaster. As they face
this decision, questions will arise as to a local government's authority to issue an evacuation
order and the liabilities associated with such an order.
The guidelines provide background to these questions. The guidelines are not inclusive of all
legal issues that may arise during an emergency, and discuss only issues likely to arise during the
course of an evacuation, quarantine, or similar action during an emergency. Before ordering an
evacuation, quarantine, or other action, government officials or agencies should consult with
appropriate legal counsel.
Legal Authority to Order an Evacuation
A governing body may impose voluntary or mandatory evacuation orders pursuant to the
general police power with which government is imbued. The preferred practice is to order an
evacuation pursuant to statutory authority, e.g. the Emergency Services Act.
The authority to control the movement of persons and property arises from the police power of
the state. The police power enables governments to take action for the good of the public —
governing bodies may enact laws, ordinances, or regulations to protect the health, safety,
morals, or general welfare of the population. Of course, the police power is used every day for
building restrictions, licensing, and other similar activities. Similarly, the police power also
provides governing bodies with flexibility to meet emergency situations.
Basis for Police Power
Local governing bodies derive their basic powers from the state Constitution, just as the state
entities do. California's Constitution expressly authorizes counties and cities to make and enforce
all local, police, sanitary and other laws.
California Constitution Article XI, § 7
"A county or city may make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other
ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws."
Pursuant to the police power, the Legislature has enacted specific statutes pertaining to the
movement of persons and property. Even so, the police power does not require statutory
enactment for authorities related to exigent circumstances. The Courts of the United States and
California have provided rulings defining the limits of the police power. Essentially, the extent of
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
the police power is proportional to the extent of the emergency. Police powers flow from the
law of necessity, and "in an emergency, the scope of permissible regulation may increase."
Authority to Restrict Movement
The Governor, delegates of the Governor, local governing bodies and their designated
representatives, statutorily designated law enforcement agents, and statutorily authorized
government employees have the authority to restrict the movement of people and property in
an emergency situation. Local government may enact legislation under the authority of the
state's police power. Local law enforcement agencies may be used to enforce or assist in the
implementation of the legislation.
Law Enforcement Powers regarding Evacuation
There are six specific statutes, in addition to the California Emergency Services Act, that provide
methods for enforcing the restriction on movement of people and property.
Penal Code § 148.2 provides for punishment of persons interfering with firefighters or rescue
personnel during the discharge of their duties and makes it an offense to disobey orders given by
firefighters or other public officers.
Penal Code § 402 pertains to interfering with personnel at the scene of an emergency. Similar to
Penal Code § 148.2, it specifically broadens the conditions and types of personnel protected by
the statute.
Penal Code § 409 prohibits persons from remaining in the area of a riot or an unlawful assembly,
after being warned to disperse.
Penal Code § 409.3 provides that law enforcement has authority to control or manage an
accident scene except for patient care.
Penal Code § 409.5 allows specified law enforcement officers to close or restrict access to an
area.
Penal Code § 409.6 allows specified law enforcement officers to close or restrict access to an
avalanche area, and provides for forcible removal from the area.
Penal Code § 409.5
Penal Code § 409.5 provides that specified law enforcement officers may close or restrict access
to an area in the event of a disaster. The agencies and persons that have the authority to restrict
the movement of people and property under Penal Code § 409.5 are:
• California Highway Patrol,
• Sheriff's Office,
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 5
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
• Police Department,
■ Marshal's Office,
• Any officer or employee of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection designated a
peace officer by subdivision (g) of Cal. Penal Code § 830.2,
• Any officer or employee of the Department of Parks and Recreation designated a peace
officer by subdivisior (f) of Cal. Penal Code § 830.2,
• Any officer or employee of the Department of Fish and Game designated a peace officer
under subdivision (e) of Cal. Penal Code § 830.2,
• Any publicly employed full -time lifeguard or publicly employed full -time marine safety
officer while acting in a supervisory position in the performance of his or her official
duties.
Rather than relying on Penal Code § 409.5, the local governing body should consider issuing an
evacuation order that specifies the following:
• whether the order is for voluntary or mandatory evacuation;
■ who is going to enforce the order (Police, Sheriff, Director of Emergency Services, Fire
Department, etc.);
■ what they are authorized to do (evacuate, use reasonable force to remove someone
from an area);
■ the relevant time period; and
■ that the evacuation is issued under provisions of the Emergency Services Act, thereby
invoking the penalty provisions of the Act and affording the immunities accorded.
Refusal to Evacuate
Evacuation orders should be issued when there is a clear and immediate threat to the health and
safety of the population and it is determined that evacuation is the best option for protection.
Emergency responders shall make every effort to inform people that failure to evacuate may
result in serious physical injury or death and that future opportunities to evacuate may not exist.
Law enforcement will document the location of individuals that refuse to evacuate or, if
necessary, have these individuals sign waivers. Once a local jurisdiction orders an evacuation, it is
critical that public information dissemination, transportation, sheltering resources, and security
and protection of private property are provided to a level where the public feels evacuation is
more desirable than staying behind.

Roles and Responsibilities
These descriptions are outlines of each department's role and responsibilities. Checklists are
found in Attachment I.
Police Department
Seal Beach Police Department (SBPD) personnel are responsible for coordinating evacuation
efforts in Seal Beach, including drafting and issuing evacuation orders. SBPD personnel will
provide evacuation notifications, traffic control, and perimeter control, in coordination with
other City departments including Public Works. Once evacuations are complete, SBPD has the
exclusive responsibility for protecting private and public property in all areas that were
evacuated. Entry will be controlled by SBPD personnel. SBPD will assist with the Repopulation
Plan when requested by Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). SBPD personnel should be
equipped with visual aids or tools to communicate evacuation orders to the deaf and hard of
hearing, people with cognitive disabilities and non - English speakers.
City of Seal Beach City Council
The City of Seal Beach Council and the City Attorney comprise the Policy Unit. Collectively this
body sets direction on policies and direction, making recommendations to the Director of
Emergency Services. The City of Seal Beach EOP designates the City Manager as the Director of
Emergency Services. During a disaster response, the Director of Emergency Services is
responsible to request that the City of Seal Beach City Council proclaim a local emergency
condition and to issue emergency regulations to protect life and property as needed, which shall
be confirmed or repealed by the City Council at the earliest possible time.
City of Long Beach Animal Care Services
The City of Seal Beach contracts with City of Long Beach Animal Care Services for animal control
services. The Long Beach Animal Care Services, in coordination with Orange County Animal Care
Services and other organizations, will lead the evacuation of animals and the establishment of a
temporary animal shelter if necessary.
Orange County Fire Authority
The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) is the contract fire services provider for the City of Seal
Beach. The OCFA has two fire stations in Seal Beach: Station 44 located at 718 Central Avenue in
Old Town, and Station 48 located at 3131 N Gate Road north of Leisure World. OCFA personnel
will determine which zones must be evacuated and will relay that information to SBPD. OCFA will
also assist in the evacuation of those with Disability and Access or Functional Needs, as needed.
OCFA will be the lead on Repopulation Planning and will expect assistance from SBPD personnel,
the City Emergency Services Coordinator, American Red Cross, Public Information Officer, and
Public Works.

Notification & Warning
Evacuation Notices & Terminology
The City of Seal Beach will utilize the following evacuation terminology when issuing public
evacuation notices:
Pre - Evacuation Advisory:
• Typically issued 72 -hours prior to a known imminent event where evacuations may be
required.
• Seal Beach Police Department will alert the community of possible risk to life or property.
• Community members should immediately begin preparations to leave and closely
monitor the developing situation.
■ If at any time residents feel threatened, they should take immediate action. Do not wait
for notification.
Potential Evacuation Order:
■ Seal Beach Police Department strongly urges and recommends persons and their animals
in designated evacuation areas to relocate to safer locations for their own safety.
• High risk for loss of life and property exists.
• Personal discretion is allowed, but not advised. People with access and functional needs
and those with large animals should leave now.
• If at any time the public feels threatened, take immediate action. Do not wait for
notification.
Immediate Evacuation Order:
• Seal Beach Police Department orders all persons and their animals in designated
evacuation areas to relocate to safer locations for their own safety immediately, without
delay.
• Extreme risk for loss of life and property exists.
• A mandatory evacuation order will apply to the public in general.
• Persons who refuse to comply with a mandatory evacuation order will not be forcibly
removed from their homes. However, they should not expect rescue or other lifesaving
assistance after the onset of the emergency event.

press conference should have an American Sign Language interpreter and be conducted
in multiple languages. Interpreters can be requested through the Orange County Sheriff's
Department — Emergency Management Division.

Tsunami Notification Procedure
If a tsunami occurs with the potential to affect Seal Beach or other coastal Orange County
communities, or if there is an elevated risk of such a tsunami, Control One will immediately
broadcast a notification in accordance with established procedure. Control One will use radio,
telephone, and the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System to alert members of
the public, law enforcement, fire, lifeguards and marine safety, hospitals, and other public safety
agencies. This information will also be distributed through the EAS and National Weather
Service. Tsunami notifications for California originate at the National Tsunami Warning Center in
Palmer, Alaska. There are four types of tsunami notifications, as follows:
Tsunami Information Statement
The Tsunami Information Statement informs emergency management officials and members of
the public that an earthquake or other incident capable of generating a tsunami has occurred,
and that a tsunami watch, advisory, or warning has been issued for another coastal area. The
area covered by a tsunami information statement does not face any threat of destructive
tsunami events; this notification is for informative purposes and to prevent unnecessary
preparatory activities (e.g., evacuations).
Tsunami Watch
The Tsunami Watch informs emergency management individuals and members of the public that
an event has occurred which may create a tsunami capable of affecting the covered area. A
tsunami watch is used as a preliminary notification that dangerous conditions may develop. Local
communities may need to take preparatory activities or prepare for emergency response
operations.
Tsunami Advisory
The Tsunami Advisory informs emergency management individuals and members of the public
that a tsunami has occurred, or that such an event is imminent or expected. Areas under a
tsunami advisory are not expected to see significant inundation (maximum of 3.3 feet), but there
is a risk of strong currents or dangerous waves for those in and very near the water. Local
officials may close beaches and evacuate harbors if a tsunami advisory is issued.
Tsunami Warning
The Tsunami Warning informs emergency management individuals and members of the public
that a tsunami capable of creating widespread inundation has occurred, or that such an event is
imminent or expected. Local officials may choose to evacuate low -lying areas during a tsunami
warning.
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 12
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
Tsunami notifications may be upgraded, downgraded, or canceled as new information becomes
available. For example, a tsunami watch is generally upgraded to an advisory or warning if a
tsunami develops.
A cancellation is issued after an evaluation of water -level data confirms that a destructive
tsunami will not impact an area under a warning, advisory, or watch or that a tsunami has
diminished to a level where additional damage is not expected.

Tsunami Evacuation Playbook
The City models its tsunami evacuation plan on the State of California "Tsunami Evacuation
Playbook" which was developed by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the California Geological Survey. This
playbook provides guidelines for evacuation in the event of a tsunami event. While this playbook
will inform decision makers and policy makers, it is not a binding document. The City also has a
"tsunami evacuation playbook" which provides additional detail about the potential tsunami
scenarios that may affect Seal Beach, including the areas that should be evacuated in the event
of different heights of tsunamis.
The Seal Beach tsunami evacuation playbook provides generalized evacuation information for
varying types of tsunamis, based on the size of the event that creates the tsunami and the travel
time between the event location and the city. The localized playbook includes protocols for
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 13
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan

obtaining and recording information on tsunamis, and identifies potential tsunami heights and
travel times based on different types of events.
The evacuation playbook identifies four types of scenarios:
Phase 1— A tsunami advisory has been issued: Beaches, piers, and harbors (including boats in the
harbors) should be evacuated. Be prepared for strong currents and potential scouring of coastal
channels.
Phase 2 — A tsunami warning has been issued, with a height of no more than 5 feet. Evacuate
the portion of downtown bordered by Electric Avenue on the south, 12th Street to the west, the
Pacific Coast Highway to the north, and Seal Beach Blvd. to the east. Also, evacuate the
Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, beaches, piers, and harbors. Prepare for strong currents and
potential scouring of coastal channels.
Phase 3 — A tsunami warning has been issued, with a height between 5 feet and 11.5 feet.
Evacuate all areas south of the Pacific Coast Highway, the neighborhood south of Marlin Avenue,
and the shopping center at the intersection of Bolsa Avenue and Balboa Drive.
Maximum Phase — A tsunami warning has been issued for a tsunami greater than 113 feet.
Evacuate all areas south of the Pacific Coast Highway, the neighborhood south of Marlin Avenue,
and the shopping center at the intersection of Bolsa Avenue and Balboa Drive.

Traffic Movement & Control
Evacuation Routes
When a voluntary or mandatory evacuation notification is issued, the Law Enforcement Branch
and Public Works Branch will select the best routes from the threatened area to safe locations,
ideally to evacuation centers or other shelter and care facilities. These routes shall be chosen
based on the number of people to be evacuated, the road capacity, and which roads may be
blocked or have their capacity reduced by disaster conditions. To the extent possible, evacuation
routes should be selected before emergency conditions develop.
For areas not covered by site - specific plans, the best evacuation routes will have to be selected
at the time of the hazard event. As the emergency situation progresses, the Law Enforcement
Branch and Public Works Branch will receive regular updates on the condition of the road
network from field personnel, adjusting the designated evacuation routes accordingly. All
changes in evacuation routes must be clearly and immediately communicated to traffic control
staff, transportation staff, access control personnel, and the Public Information Officer.
When evacuation activities begin, the appropriate personnel will evacuate community members
away from the threatened areas. Ideally, evacuations should use major freeways to the extent
possible, and major surface streets to supplement evacuation activities as needed. Evacuation
personnel may convert two -way roadways into a one -way route, doubling capacity; such
operations may require consultation with Caltrans. The number of routes and roadway capacity
needed to accommodate evacuating community members will depend on the on the time and
day of the evacuation activities, and the number of people evacuating. Possible evacuation
routes include:
• Interstate 405— providing access to communities northwest and southeast of Seal Beach.
It is among the busiest and most congested freeways in the United States.
• Interstate 605 — providing access to communities to the north of Seal Beach.
• State Route 22 — providing access to communities east of Seal Beach. It also provides
access to the City of Long Beach to the west, albeit as a surface road rather than a limited
access freeway.
• State Route 1— an arterial surface road providing access to communities northwest and
southeast of Seal Beach (roughly paralleling Interstate 405, but closer to the coast).
• Westminster Blvd. — a major arterial road running east -west across Seal Beach.
• Seal Beach Blvd. — a major arterial road running north -south across Seal Beach.
Evacuation routes themselves may be affected by an emergency situation, which can reduce
their capacity or render them impassable (for example, State Route 1 lies near the coast, and
may be blocked during coastal flooding events). Police officers will patrol evacuation routes to
ensure that they are safe for community members. Additionally, because many possible
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 15
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan

evacuation routes are regional highways and roads that run through surrounding communities,
the capacities of these routes are likely to be impacted if the communities surrounding Seal
Beach are also compelled to evacuate. The Law Enforcement Branch shall coordinate with
representatives of other communities to minimize congestion on these routes.
The College Park West community is accessed by only one entry point. The College Park East,
Leisure World, and Surfside communities_ have only two access points, adjacent respectively to
Lampson Avenue, Seal Beach Blvd., and the Pacific Coast Highway, which could result in access
difficulties in a major earthquake or flooding situation.
For planning purposes, as a general rule, each lane of traffic can accommodate 1,900 vehicles
per hour. Atypical Reporting District (RD) in Seal Beach contains 775 single - family homes. The US
Census Bureau reports that the average household in Seal Beach contains 1.84 people with
approximately 1.5 cars per household. As a result, each RD in Seal Beach contains an average of
1,426 people and 1,163 cars to be evacuated.
Evacuation Routes have been pre - planned and approved by Seal Beach Police Department. Each
route has been outlined on the evacuation management zone maps in Attachment IV. Orange
County Fire Authority, in collaboration with Seal Beach Police and Emergency Management, will
determine which zones will be evacuated. Seal Beach Police will then determine which
evacuation routes will be utilized.
Evacuation routes can be changed during an incident as necessary to ensure the safety of life,
property, and the environment.
In general, the following evacuation routes exist for each of the areas of the City:
Old Town
South of the Pacific Coast Highway, between 1st Street and Seal Beach Blvd
■ West of 4th Street — Direct civilian evacuation toward Marina Drive to northbound N.
Marina Drive toward Long Beach. If the Marina Bridge is closed, traffic may need to be

Street at the Pacific Ocean (Seal Beach). On the eastside of the San Gabriel River at the
intersection with College Park Drive, there is single vehicle access onto the trail via a
chain link gate.
Access Control
Once an area has been evacuated, the Seal Beach Police Department is responsible for providing
security and controlling access for the evacuated area(s), Access control helps to reduce
exposure to hazardous conditions that are present in the impacted area(s), and also helps
protect personal property and buildings that are unattended. Security activities will be carried
out with manned access control points and barricades at key locations around the perimeter of
the area, such as main roads into the evacuated area. Barricades should be established at all
entry points, regardless of whether they are manned or unmanned, and all unmanned areas of
the perimeter shall be patrolled periodically. The Police Department will issue special entry
passes allowing authorized personnel access to evacuated areas if necessary, in accordance with
established policies.

Temporary Evacuation Points
Temporary Evacuation Points (TEP) are short -term in nature and give evacuated populations a
place to go after being evacuated, but before a shelter is open. Seal Beach Police will determine
the location of the TEP based on the incident. TEPs can be changed during an incident as
necessary to ensure the safety of life, property, and the environment. The Community Services
Department is responsible for setting up and managing a TEP.
The city has pre- identified a list of potential TEP locations within the City of Seal Beach and in
surrounding jurisdictions. The determination of the TEP location will be based on numerous
factors including the safety of the location and availability. The suggested Temporary Evacuation

Transportation
The US Census Bureau also reports that 10.3% of households in Seal Beach do not have access to
a private vehicle, and even households with access to a private vehicle may require evacuation
assistance. Seal Beach shall provide vehicles as needed to assist individuals who are unable to
evacuate on their own. It is the responsibility of the Law Enforcement Branch to determine how
many vehicles the City must provide and of what type. This information will be passed to the
Logistics Section, which will locate and request the vehicles and their operators through mutual
aid or other methods. Public and private vehicles may both be used as needed, including vehicles
in the City fleet, although private vehicles are preferred so that public vehicles may be free to
carry out emergency response activities. Orange County Transportation Authority and local
school districts may be able to provide buses. When the City is providing transportation, it may
be necessary to establish evacuation assembly points, where individuals needing transportation
can gather in centralized locations.
Long Beach Transit
Buses and paratransit vehicles can be requested via Long Beach Transit Dispatch at (562) 591-
4863.
• Provide details: any special needs, how many individuals need transport etc.
■ Long Beach Transit paratransit services, "Dial -A- Lift ", runs from 7:00 a.m, to 10:30 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday and from 7:OOAM to 11:30 PM Friday and Saturday.
■ Vehicles will most likely be coming from the central facility located at 1963 Anaheim
Street, Long Beach; or the satellite maintenance facility located at 6860 Cherry Street in
North Long Beach.
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
Buses and paratransit vehicles can be requested via OCTA Central Communications / Dispatch at
(714) 530 -6060. If phone lines are down, send requests dispatch to dispatch via Station 12

service from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a. m.
• Vehicles will most likely becoming from the Sand Canyon yard in Irvine.
Transportation Assembly Points
Transportation Assembly Points (TAPs) can serve as transportation hubs where evacuees can be
picked up by family, friends or be transported to reception centers and /or shelters by public
transportation. Evacuees may arrive at TAPs by foot, bicycle, public transit, paratransit, or private
vehicles.

• Availability of parking
• Ease of ingress and egress for the public (e.g., easy to get to without getting lost,
sufficient parking available)
• Ease of ingress and egress for transit and paratransit vehicles (e.g., appropriate and
accessible passenger loading areas, turning radius greater than 50 feet), as well as
pedestrian traffic
• Covered area in case of rain or other inclement weather
• Accessible to individuals with disabilities and those with access and /or functional needs
• Restroom facilities, nighttime lighting and water supply
• Back -up power supply to serve the needs of people who may need power to sustain
operation of essential equipment
• Space for holding pets or livestock awaiting evacuation
TAP sites should be selected based on local hazards present as well as available resources. In
some cases it may be helpful to use one of the following methods:
■ Number of TAPS may be designated through the use of a population formula (i.e. 1 TAP
for every X residents in a city, cities in the former SONGS Emergency Planning Zone have
used 1 TAP for about every 3,000 residents)

• TAP locations may be selected based on the availability of suitable sites (Transit hubs,
shopping centers, etc.)
• TAP locations may be distributed based upon natural geographic boundaries of a
jurisdiction
Traffic Control Points
Traffic controls will be established at key intersection and access points for evacuation routes, to
help ensure a smooth flow of traffic. In some situations, traffic control personnel may need to
control vehicle flow outside of the hazard area in order to minimize conflicts with evacuating
traffic. Traffic control points (TCP) have been established at main intersections within the City to
assist in expedited evacuation. These preselected points will be adjusted during the evacuation
as needed. Each TCP has been outlined in Attachment VI.
Traffic control personnel will monitor the progress of evacuation activities and implement any
changes in traffic control strategies. The City should have towing services on standby to assist
disabled vehicles and ensure that they do not impede the flow of traffic. The Public Works
Branch can help provide barricades and signs as needed.

Whole Community Approach
The City of Seal Beach strives to incorporate the Whole Community perspective in their
emergency planning. By planning for the Whole Community, complexities in the diversity of
Orange County are assimilated into the City's planning strategy. Additionally, and most
importantly, the Whole Community approach is an incorporation of participatory planning
processes that strongly encourages the whole community to own the risk and participate in the
solutions.
The US Census Bureau estimated that in 2010, approximately 4,490 individuals in the community
(18.5% of Seal Beach's population) had some form of disability, including 37.7/0 of individuals
who were at least 65 years of age. The most common disability in Seal Beach is an ambulatory
difficulty, but other forms of disabilities may include hearing or vision challenges, cognitive
difficulties, or difficulties with self -care and independent living. Some community members may
have multiple disabilities, while others may not be officially recognized as having a disability but
may still have special care needs.
As a community that places a high importance on inclusion and meeting the needs of all
individuals, Seal Beach is committed to ensuring that disaster planning and emergency response
and recovery operations take into consideration the needs of the city's disabled population.
Furthermore, the City of Seal Beach is committed to maximizing compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) and providing the best service to our residents and visitors. As such,
the City of Seal Beach adheres to the guidelines outlined below:
• Disabilities will not prevent access to services or facilities provided by the City of Seal
Beach.
■ The City of Seal Beach will not exclude or deny benefits of any type based on a disability
or access or functional need.
• The City of Seal Beach will work to accommodate people with disabilities and those with
access and /or functional needs in the most integrated setting possible.
• During all phases of disaster response, the City of Seal Beach will make reasonable
modifications to policies, practices and procedures, if necessary, to ensure programmatic
and architectural access to all.
■ The City of Seal Beach will shelter people with disabilities and those with access and /or
functional needs with their families, friends and /or neighbors when feasible in the most
integrated setting possible.
Disabilities and Access and /or Functional Needs
Evacuation of people with disabilities and those with access and /or functional needs takes more
time than the general population, so early evacuation triggers are an important aspect of
effectively evacuating these residents.
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 24
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
People with disabilities are not necessarily among the portion of the population that may
need evacuation assistance. Many people with disabilities live independently, are fully
self- sufficient and will self- evacuate.
• People with disabilities can lose their support system and become dependent on
assistance if separated from their mobility device or durable medical equipment. Such
equipment is essential to maintaining independence and will be evacuated with the user
whenever possible.
• Situations may arise where attempting to transport certain types of medical equipment
or devices with an individual is impractical due to the physical size or volume of the
equipment and the space available on the evacuation vehicle. In these cases, responders
should be prepared with additional vehicles specifically for the transport of such
equipment. Those vehicles should closely follow the evacuation vehicle of the affected
individual(s).
• Many people who are ordinarily self- sufficient may have functional needs due to physical
or emotional trauma or temporary lack of resources or accommodations.
• Transit - dependent populations (e.g. people with disabilities and those with access and /or
functional needs and households without a vehicle) will require public transportation to
evacuate.
• Transportation capable and equipped to accommodate people in wheelchairs, scooters,
or other mobility aids must be made available. Mobility devices and durable medical
equipment should be transported with the evacuee. Evacuee will only be separated from
their mobility device(s) and durable medical equipment under the most life- threatening
conditions. If these conditions exist, appropriate plans will be in place to ensure durable
medical equipment and mobility devices are available at the destination. A coordinated
equipment labeling and tracking system will be necessary to ensure individuals are not
separated from their mobility devices. Service animals will always be transported with
their owner.
• People who are blind or have low vision will need additional assistance during transport
because they cannot rely on their traditional orientation and navigation methods.
Evacuees with cognitive disabilities, as well as people with dementia, should be
transported with their caregivers or other mental health professional when possible for
their own safety.
• Buses and paratransit vehicles will most likely be the primary resources used to evacuate
people with critical transportation needs. Medical transportation should be reserved for
those with injuries and acute medical issues.
Evacuation of Animals
Ensuring for the transportation, care, and sheltering of animals is an important factor in
evacuation planning. Some pet owners may refuse to evacuate unless allowances are made for
their household pets or other animals. Evacuees forced to leave animals behind may also
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 25
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
attempt to prematurely re -enter evacuated areas to rescue their animals.
Service animals are essential to the continued independence of persons with access and
functional needs and should be evacuated with the person. The Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) requires service animals be permitted in any area accessible to the general public. This
includes public transportation, shelters, and any other location where evacuees may be present.
The Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act of 2006 was established and
amends the Stafford Act. PETS require evacuation plans take into account the needs of
individuals with household pets (specifically small animals such as dogs and cats) and service
animals, prior to, during, and following a major disaster or emergency. Livestock, exotic pets and
other large animals are not covered by the PETS Act.
OCTA rules state service animals (e.g., seeing -eye dogs) are permitted onboard at all times.
Household pets are permitted onboard during emergency evacuations if contained within a
protective carrier that prevents the animal from interacting with other passengers.
In the event pets are not properly caged, or the pet carrier is too large to fit on the transit trailer,
Long Beach Animal Care Services may be able to provide trailers and cages to support the
movement of animals. In such cases, the agency will take the animals to the animal shelters,
allowing owners to collect their pet once the emergency situation has passed.
The SoCal Animal Response Team (SCART) is a Southern California (Huntington Beach) based
volunteer animal disaster response team with the mission to respond to animal needs and assist
other agencies during a disaster or crisis, and to offer assistance to cities with animal sheltering,
pet response and disaster recovery as needed and requested. They can be contacted via email
at info @scart.us or by visiting the website scart.us.
Movement of restricted animals and exotics is the responsibility of the license holder. The
California Department of Fish & Wildlife coordinates with nongovernmental organizations to
address wildlife and exotic animal shelter and rescue in the event of an emergency.
When local resources become insufficient, the EOC will request assistance through the OA EOC
and /or the Regional EOC from the California Department of Food and Agriculture, which is the
lead agency for California Animal Response Emergency System.
Evacuation of Schools
Public schools and school districts are required to have safe school and emergency plans in place
to safeguard students, staff and visitors. Public schools may or may not have adequate
resources, including transportation, to support their students and staff during an evacuation
order. Public schools may evacuate or relocate to another school site during an emergency.
Parent and student reunification orders are the responsibility of the school district and must be

obtained and communicated to others in an expeditious and inclusive way.
Private schools may need additional assistance in a large -scale evacuation due to the limited
number of transportation resources available during an emergency. Institutions without pre-
existing plans and transportation resources may be dependent on Transportation Assembly
Points and public transportation for evacuation.
Child Care Centers are required to communicate with the California Department of Social
Services Community Care Licensing Division in the event of a facility evacuation or other unusual
incident. Child Care Centers should coordinate with their local jurisdiction to ensure they are
included in local evacuation plans. Some Child Care Centers may require additional
transportation support.

administration in consultation with public safety agencies.
Critical care facilities typically have plans to evacuate their patients to another facility
within their network. Evacuating residents to similar facilities via pre- existing agreements
can ensure residents maintain a similar level of care.
Hospitals
Each hospital in Orange County is required to develop and implement a hospital evacuation plan
as part of their Emergency Operations Plan, Hospitals are responsible for coordinating with EMS
and receiving facilities to provide on -going medical care for evacuated patients and contacting
their contracted ambulance providers to assist in transportation of evacuated patients.

Seal Beach Police Detention Center
The Seal Beach Police Department Detention Center is a type 1 facility with 30 beds. The
Detention Center houses three different types of inmates:
1. Street arrests from the Seal Beach and Los Alamitos Police Departments: All local
arrestees are processed and held, if necessary, at the facility.
2. Pay to Stay /Work Furlough program: for people who are allowed by a judge to carry out
their sentence in a city /private jail instead of a county jail.
3. United States Marshals Service contract: temporary housing of federal prisoners,
generally those involved with the US government's prosecution of federal cases.
Onsite (out -of- buildings) Evacuation
• Immediately cease all operations and secure all non - affected inmates and arrestees in a
cell or a designated area outside the facility.
• Detention Officer shall attempt to retrieve booking reports and facility log books
necessary to ascertain the exact inmate and arrestee population at the time of the event.
At no time will personal safety be compromised in the pursuit of records.
• After security arrangements have been made, inmates and arrestees will be evacuated to
a safer area outside the jail facility. The manner and direction of the evacuation shall be
determined by the circumstances at the time.
• If conditions permit, inmates and arrestees will be placed in restraints before leaving the
facility. If that is not possible, inmates and arrestees will be placed in restraints as soon
as practical.
Depending upon the location and extent of the event and the inmate/ population, one of the
following plans will be used:
Plan A
Evacuate all inmates and arrestees through jail office secure door, to outside recreation yard. All
inmates and arrestees will be directed to assemble in the southwest portion of the yard. Inmates
and arrestees are to be detained under armed guard in this location until further arrangements
are approved by the Watch Commander, or the EOC.
Plan B
Evacuate the inmates and arrestees via the jail booking office, through the hallway exit that leads
to the secure parking lot. The inmates and arrestees will be directed to assemble at the chain
link fence surrounding the Spectrum utilities, to the immediate west of the Seal Beach Police
Department building. Inmates and arrestees are to be detained under armed guard in this
location until further arrangements are approved by the Watch Commander, or the EOC.
After the emergency has passed, the Detention Services Coordinator or Watch Commander shall

Coordinator or Watch Commander and the OCFA approve, the inmates and arrestees will be
returned to the facility.
Offsite (out -of- compound) Evacuation
■ If the jail facility is not usable, the Watch Commander or the EOC will contact the Orange
County Sheriff's Department and arrange transportation of inmates and arrestees to the
Orange County Jail.
■ All inmates who are detained for misdemeanor warrants or crimes shall be issued
citations and released.
• All inmates in custody for violent felony crimes shall be handcuffed and moved to a
transport vehicle.
• The Detention Services Coordinator, the Watch Commander, or the EOC will contact the
United States Marshals Service to arrange transportation of all federal inmates to either
the Santa Ana or Los Angeles office.
■ If any IGA (intergovernmental agreements) inmates are involved, those agencies will be
notified, and arrangements for transfer will be conducted by the Detention Services
Coordinator, the Watch Commander, or the EOC.

Shelters
In the event that community members are displaced by emergency situations, shelters will be
established to provide a temporary place to stay. These shelters are usually operated by the
American Red Cross or various nongovernmental organizations; with support from the Shelter
Services Branch of the Seal Beach local -level ERO (this branch can temporarily operate shelters if
no other agency is available to do so).

Procedures for Establishing Care or Shelter Facilities
When establishing a care or shelter facility, the Shelter Services Branch shall follow this
established set of procedures and considerations:
• Identify the type of facility that is needed: a care facility to meet needs for periods of less
than twelve hours, or a shelter facility for overnight periods or time periods of twelve
hours or more.
• Determine where the facility should be located, based on the conditions of the potential
sites and the needs the facility must meet.
• Ensure that the facility has been fully inspected and cleared by the Building Safety
Branch. If the facility has not been inspected, request an inspection immediately from the
Building Safety Branch.
• Request any canteen services through the American Red Cross.
• If the facility is not owned by the City, contact the owners to request that it be used as a
care or shelter facility. Either Seal Beach or the American Red Cross shall do this.
■ Contact the American Red Cross and request that a shelter be activated. Provide the
American Red Cross with the nature of the emergency, a recommendation for where the
shelter should be located, and how many people will need to be sheltered.
When the American Red Cross is to establish a shelter, it shall have the ultimate responsibility in
selecting the facility. In such instances, the Shelter Services Branch shall follow this established
set of procedures and considerations, in addition to those at the beginning of this section:
■ If the facility is not owned by the City (e.g., a school or house of worship), coordinate with
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 34
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
the American Red Cross to request that the owners send a contact person to the site with
knowledge of the facility and the ability to make it operational, including access to keys,
familiarity with the building layout, and knowledge of the building systems (energy,
HVAC, water, etc.).
• If the City owns the facility, ensure that the appropriate staff have been mobilized and
deployed to the site as necessary to make it operational.
• Request that the American Red Cross send a representative to the shelter site, and to the
Seal Beach and Orange County OA EOCs (if activated).
• Notify the EOC Director, the Operations Section Coordinator, the Liaison Officer, and the
PIO that the shelter will be activated, and provide the location and time of activation.
• Post relevant information about the shelter clearly in the Seal Beach EOC and on the
WebEOC service.
When a shelter must be established but the American Red Cross is unable to activate or maintain
the facility, the Shelter Services Branch must assume primary responsibility for the shelter
activities. In such instances, the Shelter Services Branch shall follow this established set of
procedures and considerations, in addition to those at the beginning of this section:
• Work with City agencies to identify the facility to be used as a shelter.
• Request that the American Red Cross officially sanction the shelter, noting the time and
date that the sanction was granted, and the American Red Cross representative granting
the sanction.
• If the City does not own the facility (e.g., a school or house of worship), contact the
owners with information about the nature of the disaster and the number of people to
be sheltered. Be aware that if the owner owns multiple eligible facilities there may be
some negotiations with the owners over which facility serves as the shelter.
• If the facility is not owned by the City, request that the owners send a contact person to
the site with knowledge of the facility and the ability to make it operational, including
access to keys, familiarity with the building layout, and knowledge of the building systems
(energy, HVAC, water, etc.).
• If the City owns the facility, mobilize the appropriate staff and deploy them to the site as
necessary to make it operational.
• Request that the American Red Cross send a shelter manager and a nurse to the facility.
If the American Red Cross cannot meet this request, mobilize staff in the Seal Beach ERO
who can meet these needs, or request staff capable of filling these needs through mutual
aid.
• Contact the Human Resources Unit (Logistics Section) to request shelter workers among
volunteers and Seal Beach personnel.
• Establish a shelter manager to oversee the operations of each shelter. If the City does not
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 35
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
own the facility, the shelter manager shall liaise with a representative of the facility
owner.
• Arrange to have any necessary supplies moved to the shelter site.
• Contact the Communications Unit (Logistics Section) to request that the shelter site be
equipped with communications systems sufficient to contact the City EOC and the
American Red Cross.
• Notify the EOC Director, the Operations Section Coordinator, the Liaison Officer, and the
PIO that the shelter will be activated, and provide the location and time of activation.
• Conduct an initial shelter survey with the shelter manager (and, if applicable, a
representative of the facility owner), to note. any existing damage.
• Post relevant information about the shelter clearly in the Seal Beach EOC and on the
WebEOC service.
• Provide and coordinate any support needed for the shelter.
■ Remain in contact with the American Red Cross to turn shelter operations over to the
American Red Cross as soon as possible.
In order to be eligible to receive cost recovery for shelter services, any shelter must be
designated as an American Red Cross shelter. A shelter can be designated as such by being
opened and operated by the American Red Cross, or if the American Red Cross officially
sanctions a shelter operated by the City of Seal Beach or another organization. If the American
Red Cross officially sanctions a shelter, the Shelter Services Branch shall keep a record of the
representative sanctioning the shelter, and the time and date the City receives the sanction.

Evacuation Plan
December 2018
Repopulation Planning
OCFA will be the lead agency on repopulation planning and will expect assistance from Seal
Beach Police personnel, ESC, American Red Cross, P10, and Public Works.
Repopulation criteria shall take into account emergency worker safety and the community
needs. Control of repopulation to an evacuated area shall be accomplished during planning
meetings with command and general staff and coordinated with media releases and incident
action plan instructions. Local residents may be allowed to repopulate with escorts or while
mop -up operations and infrastructure repair continue if the situation allows.
Coordination with assisting and cooperating agencies is critical to the success of repopulation
planning. Ultimately it is a law enforcement decision based on OCFA input to approve
repopulation of citizens back into an area previously closed or evacuated.
Site Safety Assessments
The impacted areas must be thoroughly inspected by building inspectors to ensure essential
infrastructure services have been restored and it is safe for residents to return to their homes.
When the Incident Commander determines the incident risk has passed, he or she will
coordinate with affected jurisdictions and the EOC to conduct a safety assessment of the
evacuated area including:
• Structural integrity of buildings, roads and trees
• Integrity of gas lines, water lines, and sewer lines
• Assessment of debris and contaminant hazards
• Assessment of drinking water quality
• Assessment of accessibility of travel paths for people with disabilities, including residents
and recovery personnel
Phased Re -entry
Re -entry may be phased to manage the number of people entering the disaster area, and
prioritized for public safety purposes.
Phase I
Allows the re -entry of personnel playing key roles in restoring normal services and ensuring
public safety in the impacted area following a disaster. Phase I agencies and groups may include:
■ Law Enforcement and security agencies (including private security for facilities and
residential communities)
• Fire /Emergency Medical Services (EMS) /Search and Rescue Teams
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 37
City of Seal Beach
Evacuation Plan
December 2018
• Animal Care Officers
■ Official damage assessment teams
■ Infrastructure and utilities repair personnel
■ Facility /industry emergency response teams
■ Debris clearing and removal crews
■ Non- profit partners with a direct service responsibility
• Other personnel at the direction of the EOC
Phase II
Allows for the re -entry of residents and business owners who can prove they live, own, rent,
lease, or otherwise need access to the restricted areas. In some cases, re -entry during this phase
may be temporary as safety and security issues warrant.
Phase III
Allows for the re -entry of additional groups that are critical to long term recovery. These groups
may include, but are not limited to the following:
■ Relief workers
• Health and Human Services
• Insurance agents or adjusters
■ Retail Store Management and Staff
■ Hotel /Motel Staff (to prepare for receiving of State and Federal relief agencies)
Phase IV
Allows for the resuming of normal access for residents and the demobilization of checkpoints
and emergency personnel.
The public will be notified of the re -entry status through emergency broadcast radio, television,
press releases, AlertOC, Internet, informational phone lines such as 211, community briefings,
and informational updates at shelters.
Checkpoints and Routes
Law enforcement will establish /maintain Traffic Control Points along access routes to facilitate
re -entry and maintain the security of evacuated areas.
Transportation resources will have to be coordinated to return evacuees requiring
transportation assistance from evacuation points or shelters back to their communities.
Identification will be required of anyone wishing to re -enter evacuation zones. If possible, a
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 38

mobile credentialing system for all evacuees and emergency workers will be implemented. To
expedite the identification process while maintaining security, credentials should identify the
individual, agency (if applicable), specific level of access, and the timeframe of allowed access.
Displaced individuals should have proper identification, such as a driver's license, voter's
registration, utility bills, property tax receipts, or another official document that proves they
reside within the affected area.
Relief workers should have an identification card from their organization and be able to prove
they are fulfilling an assigned role or mission.
