A Subscribing Organization has the absolute discretion to decline to provide any requested Emergency Assistance and to withdraw resources it has provided at any time without incurring any liability. Resources are "borrowed" with reimbursement and terms of exchange varying with the type of resource as defined in Articles X through XII.

See Article XII for terms and conditions applicable to use of borrowed personnel. 2. Loaned equipment shall be returned to the Lender upon release by the Borrower, or immediately upon the Borrower's receipt of an oral or written notice from the Lender for the return of the equipment. When notified to return equipment to a Lender, the Borrower shall make every effort to return the equipment to the Lender's possession within 24 hours following notification. 3. Borrower shall, at its own expense, supply all fuel, lubrication and maintenance for loaned equipment. The Borrower will take proper precaution in its operation, storage and maintenance of Lender's equipment. Equipment shall be used only by properly trained and supervised operators. Lender shall endeavor to provide equipment in good working order. All equipment is provided "as is", with no representations or warranties as to its fitness for particular purpose.

Lender shall provide copies of invoices for such charges where provided by outside sources and shall provide hourly accounting of charges for Lender's employees who perform such services. 5. Without prejudice to a Lender's right to indemnification under Article XIV herein, in the event loaned equipment is lost or damaged while being dispatched to Borrower, or while in the custody and use of the Borrower, or while being returned to the Lender, Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for the reasonable cost of rep.airing said damaged equipment. If the equipment cannot be repaired within a time period indicated by the Lender, -- then Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of replacing such equipment with equipment, which is of equal condition and capability. Any determinations of what constitutes "equal condition and capability" shall be at the discretion of the Lender. If Lender must lease or rent a piece of equipment while the Lender's equipment is being repaired or replaced, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for such costs. Borrower shall have the right of subrogation for all claims against persons other than parties to this Omnibus Agreement who may be responsible in whole or in part for damage to the equipment. Borrower shall not be liable for damage caused by the sole negligence of Lender's operator(s). Article XI - EXCHANGE OF MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES.

Lender shall not be liable for cessation or slowdown of work if Lender's employees decline or are reluctant to perform any assigned tasks if said employees judge such task to be unsafe. A request for loaned personnel to direct the activities of others during a particular response operation does not relieve the Borrower of any responsibility or create any liability on the part of the Lender for decisions and/or consequences of the response operation. Loaned personnel may refuse to direct the activities-s)f others without creating any liability on the part of the Lender. Any valid licenses Issued to Lender personnel by Lender or Lender's state, relating to the skills required for the emergency work, may be recognized by the Borrower during the period of emergency and for purposes related to the emergency. When notified to return personnel to a Lender, the Borrower shall make every effort to return the personnel to the Lender's possession immediately after notification. Article XIII - RECORD KEEPING.

If no personnel are loaned, the Lender will provide shipping records for materials and equipment, and the Borrower is responsible for any required documentation of use of material and equipment for state or federal reimbursement. The documentation will be presented to the Administration/Finance Section of the Incident Management structure. Under all circumstances, the Borrower remains responsible for ensuring that the amount and quality of all documentation is adequate to enable disaster reimbursement.

This voluntary plan is intended for participating organizations, within King County, to assist each other in disaster situations when their response capabilities have been overloaded. For 2003, three new Emergency Support Function (ESFs) documents are completed and ready for adoption and inclusion to the Plan. They are as follows: • Appendix 2: Public Information • Appendix 6: Training & Exercises • ESF-2: Telecommunications & Warning This "2003 Signatory Documentation Sheet" is requested because there was one change to the legal document, the Omnibus Legal and Financial Agreement (specifically Article XVIII), from the 2002 Open Comment Period. Participating organizations are requested to approve and adopt, through signature to this form, the revised Omnibus. New partners are also requested to use this signatory sheet. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Subscribing Organization hereto has caused this Regional Disaster Plan for Emergency Assistance to be executed by duly authorized representatives as of the date of their signature: ORGANIZATION: ADDRESS: PHONE #: AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE: DATE: 03/24/03 • • Page 1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Regional Disaster Planning in King County 1. Why do we need a Regional Disaster Plan? King County is 2,134 square miles of diverse terrain with over 1.7 million people, 39 cities, over 120 special districts (fire, school, water/sewer, etc.) and over 600 elected officials. The county faces many natural (flooding, earthquakes, severe weather) and technological disasters (hazardous materials releases, transportation accidents, civil unrest). RCW 38.52.070 requires cities and counties to have emergency management programs, but minimal or no guidance is provided to special purpose districts, businesses and non -profits. With the dense population and complex system of governance and significant risks, disasters present the need to plan for a coordinated response among governments, non -profits and businesses. Potentially hundreds of entities would behave in a coordinated manner during a severe regional disruption. This plan focuses exclusively on disaster response and may be applied to any event that concurrently challenges multiple jurisdictions or multiple disciplines. 2. What makes this plan different? This agreement pioneers new territory as a cooperative endeavor, in that any private business, nonprofit organization, government agency or special purpose district can choose to be a signatory and participate with this plan. Any regional response in geographic King County will not be "perfect." This plan is an attempt to create a shared concept for how individual, autonomous private and nonprofit organizations, and government agencies and jurisdictions will work together in times of extreme emergency or disaster. It supplements — NOT replaces — the local emergency plans required by state statute. 3. Why is the private sector involved in this plan? Disasters don't respect jurisdictional boundaries, let alone economic environments. The citizens expect that public, private and non-profit entities know how to work together to effectively respond to and recover from a disaster. Whether we represent a public, private or non-profit, we are all stakeholders and interconnected to the continued viability of our communities. The private and non-profit sectors provide services and have resources that are critical during regional response efforts, and their availability and use can be coordinated through this regional plan. 4. Don't we already have mutual aid agreements that exist for this purpose? Very few official mutual aid agreements exit within King County. A number of sewer and water districts participate in the "Washington's Water & Sewer Agencies Mutual Aid Agreement." For the fire service, the "King County Fire Resource Plan" exists. A number of public works departments have also signed on the "Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement." Hazardous material response teams have an existing mutual aid agreement within Zone 4 (between Federal Way and Port of Seattle). Mutual aid is a pre -agreed sharing of resources between entities to support response activities. This plan will go beyond just a mutual aid that provides assistance within a discipline. This plan will facilitate cross -zone and cross -discipline sharing of resources. The typical sort of emergency for which this framework plan is designed will overwhelm the mutual aid systems available on a daily basis. May 24 Elected Officials Disaster Forum Page 2 5. Does this plan put King County government in charge? This is a voluntary and cooperative agreement. In no way is King County government in charge. The key is coordination rather than control, and the Appendix One to this plan reflects that... "Direction and Coordination." No participating organization has "control" or authority over another except where stated in federal, state or local laws. The "Regional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organizations in King County" may only be initiated by a chief elected official (or their designated representative) of a public jurisdiction or agency. An example of an appropriate use of the Regional Plan may be by: (1) A jurisdiction's formal proclamation of a disaster; (2) A jurisdiction in anticipation of exhausting all normal capabilities, resources and zone mutual aid available to the jurisdiction(s). 6. How can we be sure our personal interests will be protected? All participating organizations, agencies and districts will commit all their available resources to address their internal challenges BEFORE supporting a wider regional response. Participation in this plan does in no way impose any partnership obligation or liability upon any participating organization. Signatory entities that offer available resources and services do so voluntarily, but in the context of working within a coordinated response system. All regional coordination activities will NOT supercede the authority of, or take over the resources, assets, or personnel of those public, private and non-profit organizations. 7. If we don't like the plan, what do we do? Help draft it. We are still in the development process and all participation is influential and welcomed. 8. What will this cost my jurisdiction, district or agency? An "Omnibus Legal and Financial Agreement" has been developed to provide the legal platform for resource sharing among participating organizations. The ground rules encourage a sense of security to those with available resources so they feel safe in offering assistance without risking excessive losses or liabilities, as well as establishing an accounting /billing process that is congruent with FEMA polices to -encourage appropriate financial recovery. Resources and services that are loaned to other participating organizations will remain under the operational control of the borrowing entity until recalled or replaced by the lending entity. 9. When will the plan be implemented? The "Basic Plan Package" (consisting of the Plan, Omnibus Legal & Financial Agreement, Appendix One, Emergency Support Function (ESF) 1 -Transportation, 2 -Communications, 7 - Resource Support, and 8 -Health and Medical Services), at the first step, will be sent out to all participating jurisdictions for "formal" coordination and review. From there the Regional Disaster Planning Task Force (RDPTF) will revise, forward to the Emergency Management Advisory Committee (EMAC), then send to the Regional Policy Committee and on to the King County Council for final approval. This planning process does take time. It took Washington State Emergency Management over ten years to develop their state-wide comprehensive emergency management plan.

Phil Lyons, Sally Blake, Lucy Lauterbach; Laurel Nelson and Eric Holdeman-KC Emergency Management 1. Regional Disaster Plan Tukwila has had an emergency disaster plan for some time. Jim has rewritten portions of it, and will bring it to the Council soon. Laurel and Eric explained that King County started developing a Regional Disaster Plan in 1998, when they looked at all the city, state, non -profits, special districts, and businesses that had emergency plans, and decided to work to coordinate all their work. They now have a voluntary plan that provides a framework for agencies and governments to work together in an emergency. The county plan is divided into Seattle, north and east, and south. It doesn't cost anything, and 111 signatories now have adopted it. They include 30 of the 39 KC cities; 17 of the 35 fire districts, 12 school districts, 22 sewer and water districts, and numerous hospitals and businesses. The plan uses existing resources, and plans for cross -disciplinary interaction. No one will be charged money unless and until an emergency happens and someone who provides machinery or special expertise charges for their time and expenses. Jim suggested a practice emergency based on a train derailment. With 80 trains a day mixing passenger trains and cargo and hazardous waste trains, it could be a realistic training exercise. Recommend plan presentation and adoption to COW. 2. Emergency Radio Replacement Plan Jim M used the opportunity to inform the committee about the radios used by staff. The basic system is an 800 Mhtz Motorola radio system. Replacing our 150 radios would cost $600,000. Motorola is the only provider, and they have made their new radios dependent on a new battery and charger system. Replacement units will cost $3,000-3,500 a piece. Replacing 15 units yearly will keep the system updated. The city is trying to consolidate phones, pagers and radios into one unit. Jim M said the new bandwidth the government has released is for data transmission, not public safety. Staff will research whether other cities or the state are also buying this equipment to see if they can get a discount. Information. 3. Rescue Tool Purchase Phil went through the functions of the fire department. He talked about the "golden hour" which is the first hour after a serious health event when the patient has the best chance of survival if they receive critical care. Auto extrication can take a lot of time at a highway crash, using valuable minutes of that hour. Any tool, which helps the department rescue, someone more quickly, is valuable. NW Auto Wrecking has been very good to provide practice cars to the department. Phil researched several auto opener tools. The City has two auto extrication tools already, though they are aging and aged. The Homaltro openers were the best of the four tools researched. The system can be used independently, which is important if the rescue is down a cliff or high up. They are light and ergonomically designed. They are a little expensive, but Fire has $16,000 left of a grant. They want to buy a $23,612 Homaltro. They may buy part of it this year and the rest next year, or this year if they can find the funds in their department. Information. Committee chair approval /1G o3-18 Regional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organizations in King County 2003 Signatory Documentation Sheet In January 2002 the Regional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organizations in King County, Washington, consisting of five core documents, was sent out for adoption and signature. This voluntary plan is intended for participating organizations, within King County, to assist each other in disaster situations when their response capabilities have been overloaded. For 2003, three new Emergency Support Function (ESFs) documents are completed and ready for adoption and inclusion to the Plan. They are as follows: • Appendix 2: Public Information • Appendix 6: Training & Exercises • ESF-2: Telecommunications & Warning This "2003 Signatory Documentation Sheet" is requested because there was one change to the legal document, the Omnibus Legal and Financial Agreement (specifically Article XVIII), from the 2002 Open Comment Period. Participating organizations are requested to approve and adopt, through signature to this form, the revised Omnibus. New partners are also requested to use this signatory sheet. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Subscribing Organization hereto has caused this Regional Disaster Plan for Emergency Assistance to be executed by duly authorized representatives as of the date of their signature: ORGANIZATION: City of Tukwila AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE: ADDRESS: 6200 SnuthrpntPr Blvd Tukwila, WA 98188 PHONE #: 206-433-1800 DATE: R/5/03 lff486 ORIGINALS ENT'D AUG 0 6 2003
