Management should look at the current practices for addressing employee concerns that are effective in other areas of the Health and Human Services Department and-implement them in the Child Protective Services Department. RESPONSE: This recommendation will be implemented on an ongoing basis. Management will look into practices for addressing employee concerns in all divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services and appty them as appropriate. [n order to provide consistency among and between county departments, formal employee grievances will be addressed through tlie county,s grievance policy and procedure. However, management and administration will also continue io look at and share current practices in other areas to determine effective strategies for supporting %positive emtploy/ee m,ora*le, and implement them as we are able. /'I al/ncy O'Ha(a Director, Health & Human Services Attachment B The Operational Area (OA) EOC will monitor hazardous situations as they develop. The OA EOC will determine the area(s) most likely to be impacted and notify the Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC). The OA EOC will monitor the progress of the evacuation and exchange information with the REOC on an established time schedule to promote effective coordination by all involved jurisdictions. Through this procedure, the State and OA EOCs will coordinate the efficient deployment of resources when needed, utilization of available evacuee shelter capacity, and effectively address modifications to evacuation routes, if necessary. The Sutter County Operational Area makes use of two types of evacuations; Advisory and Mandatory Evacuations. Advisory Evacuation An Advisory Evacuation Notice is issued when conditions exist which indicate a Mandatory Evacuation order may be given in the near future. The threat to lives is not yet imminent, but due to the potential for rapidly changing conditions to develop into a serious threat, the public is advised to prepare for the issue of a Mandatory Evacuation order. Residents are advised to leave the area. (Those with special evacuation needs, such as care facilities or those with special transportation needs are particularly encouraged to leave as soon as possible after the Advisory Evacuation is issued.) Businesses are advised to take whatever precautions they deem necessary for protecting equipment and/or inventory. Access to the area under an Advisory Evacuation is unrestricted. Advisory Evacuations may also be issued when a Mandatory Evacuation order has been lifted in an area but the conditions in the area remain subject to rapid change and could again become serious. Mandatoly Evacuation A Mandatory Evacuation is ordered when conditions exist that seriously imperil or endanger the lives of those in a defined area. The danger is imminene All non-essential persons are ordered to immediately leave the area via the described evacuation routes. Generally, residents will not be forcibly removed from their own property; however, those found to be on the property of another, or on a public roadway, may be subject to arrest or removal from the area. Once out of the area, people (including residents) will not be permitted to retum until conditions permit.Any non-essential persons found by officials traveling through, or loitering in, the area will be escorted out and not permitted to re-enter the area. Those interfering with the disaster response are subject to arrest. The map on the next page shows the major highways in Sutter County. In the case of an actual evacuation, notification would be made as to which highway(s) to use.

The concern is that erosion at the head of the auxiliary spillway threatens to undermine the concrete weir and allow large, uncontrolled releases of water from Lake Oroville. Those potentia! flows could exceed the capacity of downstream channels. To avert more erosion at the top of the auxiliary spillway, DWR doubled the flow down its main spillway from 55,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 1OO,0O0 cfs. The next several hours will be crucial in determining whether the concrete structure at the head of the auxiliary spillway remains intact and prevents larger, uncontrolled flows. Current flows are contained with downstream channels. Flow over the auxiliary spillway weir began Saturday morning and has slowed considerably. DWR officials expect that flow to stop entirely soon, which will reduce the erosion on the downstream side of the structure. Oroville Dam itself is sound and is a separate structure from the auxitiary spillway.

This recommendation will be implemented to comply with state law (AB z3tt). In September of zo16, Governor Brown signed the following into law: of l7 Sutter County Board of Supervisors Response to2016-17 Grand Jury Report Article 6.5. Accessibility to Emergency Information and Seruices: SEC. z. Section 8SSS.S is added to the Gouernment Code, to read: 8SSS.S. @) A county, including a city and county, shall, upon the nert update fo its emergencA plan, integrate cccess and functional needs into its emergencA plan by addressing, at a minimum, how the access andfunctional needs population is serued by thefollouing: (il EmergencA communicahbns, including the integration of interpreters, translators, and assisfi u e technology. (z) EmergencA euacuation, including the identification of transportation resources and resources that are compliant with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of lggo (42 U.S.C. Sec. tztol et seq.) for indiuiduals who are dependent on public transportation. @) Emergency sheltering, including ensuring that designated. shelters are compliant u:ith the federal Americans urffh Disabilities Act of t99o (42 U.S.C. Sec. tztot et seq.) or can be made compliant through modification qnd that shousers and bathrooms are fully accessible to alloccupants. (b) For purposes of this section, the "access and functional needs population" consisfs of indiuiduals who haue deuelopmental or intellectual disabilirres, physical disabflirr:es, chronic conditions, injuries, limited English proficiencA or uho are non-English speaking, older adults, children, people liuing fn rnsfitufibnalized settings, or those uho are low income, homeless, or transportation disaduantaged, including, but not limited to, those uho are dependent on public transit or those uho are pregnant. Sutter County will be updating its Emergency Operations Plan in the coming year and anticipates this particular update will be completed by June 30, 2018. Key County staff have attended Access and Functional Needs Training and Sutter County Public Health conducts regular Access and Functional Needs meetings with key stakeholders. Ensuring the County is inclusive of access and functional needs concerns in its Emergency Operations Planning is a priority. Sutter County is researching, and plans to acquire, robust communications software that will allow it to, among many things, communicate with and poll by cell phone or landline, those who self-identifu as needing assistance in an emergency because of a disability or other issue. However, there is no single database of the access and functional needs population and no clear ability for local government emertency responders to assist every individual in a database in an emergency. Disability advocates recommend against a "registry" of those with access and functional needs because they feel the population with access and functional needs will not develop their own safety plans if they believe they will be rescued because their name is on a registry. Sutter County will identifu and work with agencies such as FREED Independent Living (which called 5oo clients in the evacuation area during the emergency), the Alta Regional Center, and other organizations which work with individuals with access and of17 Sutter County Board of Supervisors Response to2016-17 Grand Jury Report functional needs. Skilled Nursing Facilities and Long Term Care facilities are required to have their own emergency plans to take care of the people in their charge. In a slow rise flood scenario, they are among the first to be notified of conditions-five feet before a river reaches warning stage-so they are prepared for the possibility of a needed evacuation. During the "no-notice" February evacuation, more than 6oo individuals from these types of facilities were taken by ambulance to facilities outside the evacuation area, some as far away as four hours' drive. Sutter County will continue to work with these facilities to ensure they understand their responsibility for emergency plans, and to ensure they receive timely communications in an emergency.

This recommendation will be implemented to the extent possible by working with outside agencies to develop such a model. It is important to recognize that Sutter County does not have the resources nor expertise to develop such models on its own. Such models are developed by universities and other government agencies, some of which are available on the internet. These models differ greatly in their assumptions and timelines with limited ability to know which model is most accurate. (5: This recommendation has been implemented. Sutter Coun!y's Emergency Operations Plan already included an annex for the care of domestic pets and livestock. Essentially, pet owners are responsible for advance planning to identifu how they will care for their pets in an emergency, including identifying where to go when Red Cross shelters do not accept pets. Livestock, too, are the responsibility of the owner. The County can call in State assistance to help evacuate livestock, but the first priorities of the County are the safety of humans, property, and the environment.
