designate more than one site, in order to be prepared for more than one
eventuality. The following summerizes the advantages and disadvantages
of each of the recommended sites:

1. CITY HALL -

ADVANTAGES Under City control, central location, earthquake
proof, wheelchair accessible, current phone system available if no
power failure. With power failure due to declared emer gency
existing system would have two lines available from the Hall, and
one in the Parks and Recreation office. Radio available to public
works crews unless there is power failure, when the Coordinator's
or City Engineer's truck radios would be used. Close to Fire
Dept., doctors’ offices, restaurants, grocery and drug stores,
health unit, and highway to hospitals. All records immediately
available, Council and staff familiar with facility, have keys for
access etc. With advance arrangements, Leigh Square building
(once it becomes City property) the Elks Hall, the Legion and the
Masonic Hall would provide reasonable emergency accomodation for
displaced persons, in addition to space available in City Hall.

The emergency radio should be installed in a place where it is
immediately available to the Coordinator. City Hall would ensure
this. Emergency power for the radio would initially be provided
by a car battery, and then by a portable generator from the Works
Yard specially designated for that purpose .

DISADVANTAGES Flooding or a toxic gas spill disaster at CPR
could make this facility unavailable.

2. HYDE CREEK -

ADVANTAGES Already set up, City owned facility with large open
area available for emergency accomodation, close to George Pearkes
School for more emergency accomodation, relatively close to
doctors offices, some restaurants, grocery and drug stores, Fire
Hall #2, and highway access. Has three emergency phone lines
available, and an emergency generator installed as part of the
building system.

DISADVANTAGES Could be innundated in the event of flooding.
Prevailing winds make it vulnerable in the event of any type of
toxic gas spill at the CPR yards No access to City records.
Isolated from radie to vnublic works crews, if no power failure,
Coordinator's or City Engineer's truck radios would be used.
Emergency radio tco far from Coordinator's present office.
Building not earthquake proof.
