Risk Management & Safety
Risk Management administers Employee Relations, Workers’
Compensation and General Liability issues, Emergency Preparedness;
Special Programs, such as the Summer Employment Opportunities
Program (SEOP) and "Take Our Daughters To Work Day."
In simplest terms, the goal of the risk management division
is to minimize the adverse effects of accidental and business
losses at reasonable cost. An integral component of risk management
is safety and emergency preparedness.
In recent years, the City of Pico Rivera has placed an increased
emphasis on emergency preparedness by participating and conducting
annual functional exercises designed to simulate emergency
situations. Annual functional exercises conducted at the City’s
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) provide an opportunity for
all members of the disaster response team to practice and
test the City’s Emergency Operations Plan and help identify
and correct any problems before a real emergency occurs. The
response team is comprised of key City, Fire, Sheriff and
Health Departments, the El Rancho Unified School District,
Pico Water District and the American Red Cross staff.
In early 2004, the 26 Neighborhood Watch participants completed CERT (Community/Citizen Emergency Response Team) aimed at preparing residents to be more self-reliant in response to a disaster/emergency situation.
For information on what you can do to be better prepared
for a disaster or emergency, visit the L.A. County Emergency
Survival Program's website.
