S.F. has declared all public employees are DISASTER SERVICE WORKERS!! Help

[laugle]

My husband works for the City of San Francisco. All public employees of the City were notified today that pursuant to; California Government Code Section 3.100et.seq, all public employees are considered DISASTER SERVICE WORKERS.

The memo came from the Executive Director, City and County of S.F., Office of emergency services and Homeland Securtity.

Memo states that at any time during a catastrophic event, which places life or property in jeopardy, you could be assigned to disaster service activity that promotes the protection of public health and safety.

PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN YOUR CITY. IT'S VERY DISTURBING.

It sounds like, because of what happened in NOLA, i.e., not enough national guard, etc., they are seeking to draft public employees to handle disasters.

I would appreciate your info or comments on this. Thank you DUers.
