BACKGROUND: The Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) - 5, Management of Domestic Incidents, dated September 8, 2004, requires the City of Tukwila to officially adopt NIMS in order to be eligible for Homeland Security Grants. NIMS establishes standardized incident management processes, protocols, and procedures that all responders - Federal, state, tribal, and local - will use to coordinate and conduct response actions. With responders using the same standardized procedures, they will all share a common focus, and will be able to place full emphasis on incident management when a homeland security incident occurs - whether terrorism or natural disaster. NIMS establishes the Incident Command System (ICS) as a standard incident management organization with five functional areas - command, operations, planning, logistics, and finance/administration - for management of all major incidents. To ensure further coordination, and during incidents involving multiple jurisdictions or agencies, the principle of unified command has been universally incorporated into NIMS. The minimum NIMS compliance activities that the City is to achieve are: . Formally recognize NIMS and adopt NIMS principles and policies. . Complete NIMS Awareness Courses - First responders (Fire, Police, and PW) will complete a more detailed training program. . Establish a baseline by determining which NIMS requirements Tukwila already meets - Tukwila's Emergency Operation Plan is based upon ICS. . Establish a timeframe and develop a strategy for full NIMS implementation. Deadline is October 1,2006. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Formally adopt NIMS through the attached resolution.

As VNET's fiscal year ends June 30, the actual turnover will occur m July. Recommend resolution-to Regular Meeting. .~ 2. Resolution Adoptimr National Incident Management System (NIlVIS) Nick explained '" the City needs to adopt the National Incident Management System (NIMS) model to become qualified to apply for Homeland Secunty grants. Jim M said the NIMS system includes the Incident Command System (rCS). The Police, Fire, and Public 'Narks staffs have all been working toward getting their NIMS certification. The system was adopted by the federal government in September 2004, and they wanted to have states and local government adopt it by 2005, though they have now moved compliance to October, 2006. People who go through the NIMS training and pass the test are put on a national register. JIm M said communications wIll still be a major issue in planning to meet emergencies. Until emergencies get their own phone channel, it will be a problem. Jim also noted the police radios are bemg replaced in this second year of rotation. Pam asked ifNIMS would help us communicate with other cities, and was told all cities should have this system in place soon. Recommend resolution to COW and Regular Meeting. r.-'\.
