Welcome to the Office of Emergency Services (OES) website. The City of Sunnyvale, Department of Public Safety, Office of Emergency Services provides services to the community and to City departments to prepare us for an effective response to all types of disasters.
Through City sponsored programs, well-trained volunteers stand ready to provide assistance to their neighborhoods and community in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
Sunnyvale Neighborhoods Actively Prepare (SNAP)
Following a disaster, emergency services personnel may be unavailable to meet the demands of its community. The emergency services that you have come to expect through 9-1-1 at a moments notice, such as police, fire, medical, etc. may be dispatched elsewhere. As we witnessed during previous disasters, initially people have to rely on each other for help in order to meet their immediate life saving and life sustaining needs. In an effort to prepare residents of Sunnyvale to protect family and property, the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Office of Emergency Services developed the SNAP Training Program. The purpose of SNAP is to provide Sunnyvale residents with tools to be self-sufficient for a minimum of 72 hours following a disaster.
The training program is on a volunteer basis, taught for seven consecutive weeks. As a SNAP participant, you will learn about disaster preparedness empowering you to help save lives while working with the City of Sunnyvale to do "The greatest good for the greatest number of people." For more information about the training, click on the SNAP brochure.
