political subdivision of the State, and the governing body of each such
political subdivision shall take the action as may be necessary to carry
out the provisions thereof; and
WHEREAS, Part II of the State of California Civil Defense

that local governments in each Operational Area should establish an
integrated emergency organization with a coordinator responsible for
coordinating the emergency operations of all the several governments
in an Operational Area; and
WHEREAS, the compelling need for an integrated county -wide
emergency organization is derived from the concept that the coordina-

unit of the State of California Civil Defense Organization for a WAR -
CAUSED STATE OF EXTREME EMERGENCY, consisting of a county
government and all the city governments in the county area, for the
purpose of coordinating emergency operations conducted by the several
local governments in the area and to serve as a wartime link in the system
of communication and coordination between the Statets regional operating
10 '' 13
center and the operating centers of the local governments comprising
the Operational Area; and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors,
at the request of the Los Angeles County and Cities Disaster and Civil
Defense Commission, has created, by County Ordinance No. 5582, a
Los Angeles County Operational Area Organization solely for the coordi-
nation of emergency operations on a county -wide basis, applying the
