Findings and Recommendations 11 findings

F1
Because of their proximity, residents of Avila Beach are understandably most concerned about limited emergency evacuation routes. . The county has been successful in working cooperatively with the private property owner of the Avila Beach Resort and Golf Course. For residents on the south side of Avila Beach, the Cave Landing to Bluff Drive route, originally considered as a possible exit, seems like an obvious alternative. The existing dirt road should be upgraded and designated as another alternative evacuation route from Avila Beach.

R1
The Office of Emergency Services should work with private owners San Miguelito Partners to explore the addition of Cave Landing to Bluff Drive as an alternative emergency exit from Avila Beach. (Finding 1)
F2
Emergency responders repeatedly stress the need for all residents to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. As one Emergency Services Coordinator put it, “Planning starts at the individual level and moves out from there.” However there is limited information about what people need to do to prepare to be self-sufficient.

R2
Information about self-sufficiency, how to prepare a 72 hour emergency kit, and how to obtain potassium iodide as an individual should be developed and mailed directly to county households annually. As part of this mailing, information about CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) should also be included. This could be included in the annual Disabled Registration card mailer or sent as a separate mailer to all county residents. (Finding 2)
F3
The very successful meeting on emergency planning for people with special needs was specifically for providers in licensed county facilities. It did not include special needs residents who are living on their own with family or professional assistance.

R3
Using the Disabled Registration cards, OES should organize meetings with independent special needs residents and their caretakers to discuss emergency response and self- sufficiency. (Finding 3)
F4
Liquid potassium iodide especially prepared for infants and children, the most vulnerable population to radiation, is not readily available. The information in the AT&T telephone book about potassium iodide is insufficient and outdated. Currently the State of California does not stock liquid KI. 2006-2007 San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury

R4
An information sheet about potassium iodide should be prepared for distribution to county obstetricians and pediatricians. OES should review all information in the AT&T telephone book headed “Nuclear Emergency Information” for currency, accuracy and clarity. Particular attention should be paid to the section on potassium iodide. (Finding 4) 2006-2007 San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury

COUNTY JAIL FINDING Overcrowding, especially in the women’s section, continues to be the number one problem at the San Luis Obispo County Jail. Increases in county population, coupled with increases in drug abuse in the county, means that overcrowding will only get worse in the future. If the situation is not addressed soon, the jail population could be capped judicially, as has occurred in other jurisdictions.
