The Operational Area (OA) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activated a
total of five times in the reporting period of July 1, 2014 to the same date
in 2015. A flood and a fire event served as EOC Activation bookends.
December, a large scale power outage in the City of San Bernardino stood up
the OA EOC in anticipation of mutual aid requests and calls for alternate power
sources from the City of San Bernardino.
In August, when it rained, it poured. The OA EOC Activated to Level I in
support of “August Severe Weather”, which involved a swift water rescue,
flood and debris flow activities in the San Bernardino Mountains causing
over $6 million in initial damage estimates. The Forest Falls Community
Center housed nearly 100 campers and staff that sheltered in place
overnight. In the morning, a front end loader transported meals and
hygiene kits provided by the American Red Cross to the Center. Less than
a week later, straight line winds in excess of 80 mph, torrential rains and
lightning caused an estimated $2 Million in damage to the community of
Needles. The EOC was activated for a total of 8 days with a lion’s share of the
activities supporting the collection of initial damage estimates from county
departments and local jurisdictions.
To wrap up 2014, the EOC was activated on New Year’s Eve for the “Highway
138 Incident” in support of the communities of Crestline and Mount Baldy.
Overzealous snow-players were stranded in the San Bernardino Mountains
when they ignored CalTrans and CHP warnings to race to local ski resorts
during the short but intense overnight snow fall. The EOC helped to coordinate
the efforts of County Sheriff, the American Red Cross, Cal Trans and County
Fire to provide snow plows, snow cats and shelter sites. Approximately 100
stranded motorists rang in the New Year at one of two shelters where they
remained until they could safely retrieve their vehicles.
Three of six activations occurred in the month of December – setting a new
record for the number of activations in any given month. In early December
the OA EOC was activated for 4 days to coordinate transportation needs with
Inland Counties Emergency Medical Association (ICEMA). The Arrowhead
Regional Medical Center Patient Relocation utilized 24 ambulance strike teams
to transport patients to alternate hospitals and medical facilities. In midDID YOU KNOW?
