HARE City Treasurer Craig Phillips, Administrative Assistant May 31, 1990 (City Council Meeting 6 -6 -90) Red Cross Request for a Grant to Purchase Equipment for the Moorpark Disaster Action Team The City Council continued this item in order to obtain clarification of several concerns. The primary concern was the use of City monies granted to the Red Cross for the San Francisco earthquake. Other concerns were the definition of "standard assistance" and the availability of a disaster trailer. Responses to these issues are attached for your information. At the May 29, 1990 Disaster Council Meeting, the Red Cross request was reconsidered. The Disaster Council unanimously recommended against the grant to the Red Cross for the purchase of equipment. It was felt that more equipment could be purchased at a lower cost by the City. Two members of the Disaster Council will price the equipment and report their findings to the Disaster Council at the August meeting. Staff Recommendation Defer action pending a report from the Disaster Council on alternate means of securing the equipment.

Box AR Ventura, C:alifornii 9iW1 (KU)) (,is -JNie 06-))6U May 9, 1990 The following information is presented in response to your question relative to the expenditure of funds in the American Red Goss disaster relief operations in Northern California resulting from the Loma Prieta Earthquake. 1. What is the definition of "Standardized Assistance "? Red Cross has established a "Standard" amount of financial assistance to be provided to any victim of disaster based upon any disaster- caused needs the family may have and upon how many members there are in the fanuly. The standard is used whether the disaster affects thousands of people in several states or just a few persons in a local fire. (A "Standardized Assistance Price Guide" is included herein.) Red Cross emergency assistance is not like an insurance policy; we don't replace everything a family may lose. We do provide assistance to meet immediate emergency needs, and we provide the assistance a family may need to return to a somewhat normal living situation. The types of assistance provided include food, clothing, shelter (paying temporary hotel or motel costs, assisting with payment of rent or security deposits, or making temporary home repairs), medical needs (such as assistance with prescriptions, eyeglasses, dentures, special dietary needs, and prostheses), essential household furnishings (including items essential to permit the family to return home, such as emergency furniture, cooking and eating utensils, linen.% and essential appliances) and _occupational supplies (including essential items such as tools, uniforms or safety items that would permit a wage earner to return to work). Also included in our relief services is the "Additional Assistance" program. When families need long term recovery assistance, trained caseworkers work with them to help them use family resources and all available community, state and federal disaster programs. If such programs are not available, or the family is not eligible for there and has inadequate personal resources, the Red Cross will provide the necessary assistance. Other services provided by lied Cross to disaster victims include Mass Care (food, shelter, cleaning supplies and toilci articles; Health Services and Disaster Welfare Inquiries. All of our cost projections are based upon the above services, and those are what I referred to as "Standardized Assistance ". The work in Northern California continues to this day and will go on until all victims' emergency, disaster- caused needs have been met. It is currently projected that total expenses for the above services to the victims of the Loma Prieta Earthquake will be $22,400,000. Of this amount, QA Unded Way M&YA)Pr Agency vtI'II!! 1:H H1 i ItL td0. U--b4 „_ ;1� May I iii J 1'j fdU approximately $12 million has been used during the emergency phase, and approximately $10 million is being used during the Additional Assistance phase. 2. The incredible - and unprecedented - outpouring of generosity by the American people resulted in a total donation of $55,300,000 that was designated by the donors to be used to assist the victims of the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Consequently, Red Cross has an opportunity to provide "extraordinary assistance” beyond the "Standardized Assistance" explained above. $32,900,000 is being allocated to agencies within the affected communities to deal with extraordinary needs. A committee of ten members of the affected communities was appointed to receive and evaluate proposals from the affected communities. (Details on the committee and their criteria are shown on the front page of the enclosed newsletter, "Crossroads'.

However, neither this quake, nor the public's response to it, was ordinary! When the ARC initially estimated provid- ing traditional ARC relief and nxnvery services to Northern California victims at $22.4 million, it expected this would pose a tremendous challenge. Yet, generous donors unexpectedly gave over t%ice tLtt amount. Not only were local chapters able to pr co- vide every one of the traditional services intended, but the ftulds raiscxl in excess of ARC needs in Northern California were allocated to provide additional ser- vices outside the traditional purview of Red Cfussdis aster recovery. W liat this means for future disasters rtmains to be seen, for die hawk- ing act of reserving funds for probable yet unk-nowtl disasters, and nearing ao- rtud but untraditional best needs, is no my trick. But it is clear that one of the many lessons learned frorn the Loma theta experience is that, because the American Red Coss is people and not Just policles, it is a vital eiuity, and as such, evolutionary.

The ERV has not yet been assigned to our Chapter yet but we are hopeful that it will be. We currently have a small high cube van that can be used to transport both supplies and food. In addition we have 3 small vans which can also be used for transportation of supplies. to the event of a disaster in the city of Moorpark we will respond with the most appropriate vehicle for the job. If that job indicates the use of the ERV we will respond with that vehicle. If the roads are not passable obviously we will not be able to respond to the incident with the ERV. We will however respond as soon as we can get through with the vehicles we have available. The vehicles are used on a first come first served basis. Therefore if the vehicle is in use on another disaster in the county, we will respond in the most appropriate vehicle we have available.
