At its Regular meeting on February 24, 2020, the City Council adopted the Mass Evacuation Plan as an update to the City’s Emergency Operations Plan, previously adopted in 2018. The Mass Evacuation Plan was one of the findings of a working group assembled after the 2018 Woolsey Fire to improve disaster coordination, communication, and evacuation among all of the public agencies that might provide mutual response to the City in the event of a disaster, including Los Angeles County Fire, Sheriff’s, Public Works, and Beaches and Harbors Departments, the County Supervisor’s office, Caltrans, Southern California Edison, California State Parks, CHP, City of Santa Monica, and other agencies.
