Gardena Disaster Communications' Service
Disasters large and small can occur at any time and strike without warning. The City of Gardena has prepared a Disaster Plan that complies with the State of California's Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and is complying with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
As we have witnessed in other areas, local, country, state, and federal government resources will be deployed in the event of a disaster. Depending on the nature and severity of disaster, assistance may take up to three days to reach some individuals. Lessons learned from the Katrina Hurricane tell us that in a large scale disaster, help may take up to one week before it arrives.
