HOME PAGE Rossmoor Walnut Creek (RWC) Emergency Response Emergency Preparedness Emergency Information form - The information requested is for each unit/manor. In case of an emergency, to assist you or to notify the proper person (for Rossmoor Member Records) . It is the goal of the Foundation to facilitate resident self-preparation and to utilize available Foundation resources to benefit the community when disaster strikes. The following outlines ways in which the Foundation plans to achieve this goal. The Foundation takes an active role in emergency preparation, and is in a unique position to provide residents with access to vital information, and the skills needed to prepare before disaster strikes. The Foundation commits to assist residents’ self-preparation efforts by: Distributing and making available an emergency preparation guide for residents Using Channel 28, the Rossmoor News, and Nixle as appropriate for public service announcements Supporting and assisting resident-driven response and training groups such as CERT, EPO, Coordinators, Map Your Neighborhood, and others. Coordinating with the local government and other non-governmental organizations (Red Cross) as appropriate in disaster planning RWC’s Limited Role in Emergency Response The Foundation’s ability to respond following a disaster may be very limited in the initial days following an event. To the extent possible under the circumstances, the Foundation will: Establish an Emergency Operations Center at the Gateway Clubhouse that will direct the Foundation’s response efforts Coordinate with the Foundation’s Public Safety provider Aid in the cooperation between the Foundation, the Rossmoor Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), the other resident emergency preparedness groups, and the Mutuals Evacuate trust properties if necessary Evaluate trust properties including clubhouses, and as appropriate open them for use Control and coordinate gate access Facilitate entrance of emergency response personnel and evacuation of residents if necessary Golden Rain Foundation Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) - NEW (2024 Rev.5) The purpose of the Golden Rain Foundation Emergency Operations Plan is to establish a system for coordinating preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation of disasters and emergencies in Rossmoor. This plan will enhance the Foundation’s ability to prepare for and respond to “all-hazards” events.

HOME PAGE 2026 ZOOM MEETINGS and WEBINARS EPO ZOOM Meetings & Webinars HISTORY OF ROSSMOOR EPO 2026 EPO Feb 2, 2026 Meeting - Becoming a Resilient ‘Rossmoor Prepper - Unit 2’ Description and Table of Contents Join the Rossmoor Emergency Preparedness Organization (EPO) for a presentation by Ron Halog, emergency preparedness coordinator for Independent Living Resources of Solano and Contra Costa counties, at 10 a.m. Monday, February 2, 2026. The Emergency Preparedness Unit 2 training builds on the first training presented at the November 3, 2025 EPO meeting. Halog will give a quick overview of the 1st training, which was about "what you can do to get prepared". The second training will focus on "what your house can do for you to get prepared". There are 3 objectives for the 2.0 training: 1). Making your home safe - non-structural mitigation; 2). Fire Safety; and 3.) Vial of life. Halog uses humor, critical information, contests and prizes to engage folks who may be uncomfortable with the dreaded “d” word (“disasters”) and who may feel apathetic – even “frozen” – to actively get engaged in preparing themselves and their households with the critical supplies needed to survive and thrive following an area-wide disaster or emergency. Halog has many years of experience helping seniors and people with disabilities and functional limitations get themselves fully prepared so they can remain independent during and following disasters and emergencies. His goal is to teach Rossmoor residents to get prepared simply and easily one small step at a time. During the Rossmoor EPO presentation in Peacock Hall, Halog offered several games and contests, and there were donated prizes for the winners of the contests. There were several Go Bag Backpacks, and other valuable emergency supplies. There was something for everyone, including those attending on Zoom.

When we think about preparing for disasters, our minds often jump to physical necessities: emergency kits packed with food, water, flashlights and first aid supplies. These are the primary elements needed for our physical survival. However, one of the most crucial aspects of preparedness is often overlooked – the state of our minds and emotions. Just as we assemble a physical “go bag” to help us survive a disaster, it is equally important to create an “emotional go bag” to support our mental and emotional well-being during challenging times. The presentation included: • Understanding the importance of emotional support • Core items and elements of an Emotional Support Kit • Actions to take now to be better prepared Table of Contents Time Stamp (hh:mm:ss) Topic 00:00:00 Ken Jonah - Opening remarks 00:00:37 Tom Cashion - The 4/15/26 launch of the Resident Portal of Dwelling Live 00:04:16 Ken Jonah - Introduces Bill Coy 00:06:27 Bill Coy - Emotional Go Bag 00:45:52 Bill Coy - Questions & Answers 00:56:09 Ken Jonah - Upcoming EPO Events 00:57:22 Closing Slide with Contact Information Here is the LINK to the UNLISTED YouTube video .

One of the most frequently asked quesEon that EPO is asked is “In the event that we need to evacuate Rossmoor, do all 10,000 residents have to exit out the Main Gate on Rossmoor Parkway?” The answer to that question is “No”, and Tom Cashion explained why that was the case. He described “How and When to Evacuate Rossmoor.” He covered how evacuations can be staged by Evacuation Zones, and also discussed potential Alternate Evacuation Routes. Captain Jeff Slater (Walnut Creek Police Department OperaEons Captain) focused on evacuation checklists, including having one or two planned destinations, a backup plan and how the Police Department works with the County OES (Office of Emergency Services). Joe Carozza (Assistant to the Walnut Creek City Manager) provided an overview of the City EOC (Emergency Operation Center), and explained how to subscribe to City & County Alert systems. He provided an overview of how the City of Walnut Creek trains and responds to emergency situations. Gina Eicher (Public Works Manager for the City of Walnut Creek ) provided an overview of the Public Works, and the MDOC (Maintenance Division Operation Center) – How Public Works responds to infrastructure repair (damaged streets, flooded areas, downed trees, etc.) Kira Raman (Crime Prevention Specialist for the Walnut Creek Police Department) focused on Emergency Kit preparation, and how to properly pack and store a “go-bag” with items for a 72- hour or a 96-hour evacuations.
