CIVIL DEFENSE "DIRECTOR" CITY OF SAN JOSE SAN JOSE, CALIF Vol, 1, No. 9 October 1959 Page 1 PRESERVATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT In a war, or at the start of a war, many- areas widely scattered in California are prime targets for enemy attack. Some or all of these areas could be severely damaged in the first or the repeated attacks. Injured persons would be fleeing the areas hardest hit and secondary target areas would be evacuating to the less damaged or undamaged parts of the State. While such attacks are continuing and in the reconstruction period following such attacks, law and order must be preserved; and so far as possible, government services continued or restored. This can best be done by civil government. To help to preserve law and order and to continue or restore local services, it is essential that the local units of government continue to function. The Federal Government and the State of California have already provided legislation for Continuity of Government, however, each political jurisdiction must provide their own legislation. The legan department of the City of San Jose is now preparing legislation for Council adoption which will comply with the California Oisaster Act, and which will provide for the continuance of the legislative and executive departments of the City of San Jose in case o€ a disaster, the legislative body thereof shall have the power to appoint the following stand-by officers: (a) 3 for each member of the legislative body; (b) 3 for the elected Chief Executive, if said Executive is not a member of the legislative body. In case a stand-by office becomes vacant because of the removal, death, resignation, or other cause, the legislative body shall have the power to appoint another person to fill said office. Stand-by officers shall be designated number 1,2, and 3 as the case may EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS Fire Dept. CY 4-4664 Police Dept. CY 7-3565 Civil Defense Business CY 4-3952 All Dept. CY 2-3141 be. The qualifications of each stand-by officer shall be carefully investigated and a summary of the qualifications of each such officer shall be entered on the minutes when he is appointed. Each prospective appointee to a post of stand-by officer shall be examined as to his qualifications under oath. Stand-by officers shall not be officers or employees of the local agency. Should said stand-by officers become employees or officers of the local agency, their post of stand-by office shall become vacant. Consideration shall be givon to places of residence and work, so that for each office for which stand-by officers are appointed, there shall be the greatest probability of survivorship. Each stand-by officer shall take the oath of office required for the officer occupying the office for which he stands by. Persons appointed as stand-by officers shall serve in their posts as stand-by officers at the pleasure of tho legislative body appointing them and may be removed and replaced at any time with or without cause.
