Dear Mr. Grisham:
Thank you for submitting the 2013 City of Tukwila Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan for Washington State Emergency Management Division (EMD) review, required of
emergency management organizations, as defined by RCW 38.52.070.
Our local jurisdiction plan review criteria measures a plan's consistency with the National
Response Framework, the National Incident Management System, and the Washington State
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, while complying with the content requirements
of Chapter 118 -30 -060 WAC and Chapter 38.52.070 RCW. Our evaluation also takes into
consideration the unique needs and circumstances of your jurisdiction. Based on these review
factors, your plan meets the standards in most areas and exceeds in others. In addition to these
requirements, we recommend using the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101,
Version 2; November 2010 as guidance for your next update.
To ensure that your jurisdiction remains eligible for the Emergency Management Performance
Grant (EMPG) funding program, please submit your maintenance schedule (in accordance with
Chapter 118 -09 -030 WAC) as part of your annual EMPG application for funding. You will need
to submit your updated Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan to EMD again in four
years.
Congratulations on this significant endeavor. My point of contact for plan review and any
emergency management planning assistance you may need is Karen Ferreira, (253) 512 -7057.

to understand, and provides necessary information to help guide the City's administration of the
program and coordination of emergency operations. It is consistent with the Washington

are listed below, are for consideration to incorporate into the plan for the next formal review.
The comments are divided into General and Specific sections.
