To: Finance and Safety Committee From: Public Works Director/Emergency Manage Date: July 15, 2003 Subject: Regional Disaster Plan ISSUE Should the City of Tukwila participate and become a signatory to the King County Regional Disaster Plan? DISCUSSION INFORMATION MEMORANDUM King County is 2,134 square mile of diverse terrain with almost 1.7 million people, 39 cities, over 100 other taxing districts (fire, school, water /sewer, etc.), and over 500 elected officials. The City of Tukwila, like King County, faces periodic river valley and urban flooding events, earthquakes, severe weather, hazardous materials spills, transportation accidents, and has the potential to be adversely affected by volcanic and terrorist activity. State law requires that cities and counties have emergency programs, but provides only minimal guidance to special purpose districts, businesses, and non profits. State statutes provide minimal guidance on multi disciplinary or multi jurisdictional disaster responses. The population density, complex system of governance, and significant risks faced (both natural and technological disasters) by the City create the need to plan for a coordinated response among public and private entities in the county. The plan emphasizes collaborative response operations, capitalizing on geographical coordination within the County (Tukwila is in Zone 3) that is already utilized by fire and emergency medical services. The goal is to streamline the information necessary to assess countywide impacts of disaster and increase the speed and efficiency of the relief effort. The process for creating the plan has involved representatives from local government, specific emergency functions, schools, private sector, hospitals, and other stakeholders. To date there has been 108 signatories to the plan. Activation of the regional disaster plan may be for an intense, localized event, or a widespread regional or catastrophic event. It is to be activated in conjunction with other state and local emergency plans. Mutual Aid Agreements are still the "first line of defense" for plan participants. Because mutual aid (sharing with "like" agencies) may be unavailable during regional disasters, the plan defines the legal and financial ground rules (See Attachment A) for resource sharing among plan signatories. Key points contained in the Omnibus Legal and Financial Agreement are: 1. Participation is voluntary. No signatory shall be liable to another on account of any delay in or failure to perform any obligation under the agreement. 2. Tukwila's Emergency Manager, or designee can serve as a City representative to work out the language or implementation issues of this agreement. 3. Should Tukwila request the services of another signatory, Tukwila will be liable to pay the assistance costs within 60 days. Likewise, if Tukwila provides services, we may charge for those services. 4. Requests for emergency assistance shall be directed to the designated Emergency Contact Point. For Tukwila, it is the Director of Emergency Management. 5. The extent to which assistance is provided shall be at the sole discretion of the signatory providing the service. 6. Emergency assistance will be in the form of resources, such as equipment, supplies, and personnel or the direct provision of services. 7. A signatory shall not be held liable for failing to provide emergency assistance. 8. Signatories are held harmless and will defend each other. Attachment B provides the responses to frequently asked questions. RECOMMENDATION Forward to the Committee of the Whole for discussion.

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.

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.

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 "Reaional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organizations in Kina 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. May 24 Elected Officials Disaster Forum Regional Disaster Plan for Public and Private Organizations in King County What is the Plan? Elected officials from Seattle, Suburban Cities and King County, serving on the Regional Policy Committee of King County, passed a motion in October 1998 to initiate the development of a regional disaster plan for King County The plan provides the framework needed to inter -link the emergency response plans of a wide range of organizations The plan allows potentially hundreds of entities to behave in a coordinated manner following a severe disruption; "who is going to do what" Representatives from local government, specific emergency functions, schools, private sector, hospitals and other stakeholder groups have been involved in creating this plan The plan emphasizes collaborative response operations that capitalize on geographical coordination within the county that are already utilized by fire and emergency medical services This plan streamlines the information necessary to assess the county -wide impacts of disasters and increase the speed and efficiency of the relief effort It will also assist with larger scale emergencies such as large aircraft accidents or hazardous material incidents Your Role as an Elected Official As an elected official, who establishes public policy for your jurisdiction or agency, you have an obligation to ensure the safety of your,community and citizens State law (RCW 38.52) requires incorporated cities to have emergency management programs However, minimal guidelines exist for multi disciplinary or multi jurisdictional response involving municipalities, fire districts and private industry To ensure proper emergency response to the citizens of King County, regardless if they reside in a city, district or unincorporated area, the region needs tope prepared to work together Elected officials support for this regional planning is CRUCIAL to the success of these efforts Timeline Goals Some jurisdictions and agencies in the three different county zones are working on developing their collaborative response plans The current completed plan has been adopted and signed by close to 100 public, private and nonprofit organizations in King County How You. as an Elected Official.

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. Thc 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 thc 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 thc 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 thc 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 thc 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
