City of Tukwila <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Public Safety Committee <br />FROM: Jay Wittwer, Fire Chief <br />BY: Raejean Kreel, Emergency Management Specialist <br />CC: Mayor Ekberg <br />DATE: November 28, 2018 <br />SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2018 Tukwila Comprehensive Emergency Management <br />Plan <br />ISSUE <br />Adoption of the 2018 Tukwila Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) <br />BACKGROUND <br />Washington State law requires the local jurisdiction to submit their CEMP to the Washington <br />State Emergency Management Division every five years. Tukwila's last major update to the <br />CEMP was completed in 2013 and was submitted to the State Emergency Management <br />Division with subsequent approval on November 15, 2013. This was also required by the <br />Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 2.57. Due to staffing changes in the Tukwila office of <br />Emergency Management, the State Emergency Management Division contact, Jacob Rain, has <br />approved submitting the current Tukwila CEMP for review, to allow input from the State and a <br />more thorough revision in 2019. This will meet the letter of the law, and maintain eligibility for <br />federal grants, which Tukwila's Emergency Management Division relies on for the Emergency <br />Management Performance Grant. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />There is no funding requested in this resolution; however, adoption of a CEMP and submission <br />to the State Emergency Management Division every five years is required to maintain eligibility <br />for federal grants. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Council is being asked to consider this item at the December 10, 2018 Committee of the <br />Whole meeting and the Special Meeting to follow that same night. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />-Draft Resolution <br />-The 174 page attachment adopted in 2014 is available in the Digital Records Center <br />89 <br />
