ISSUE
Approve the purchase of resources as part of the City's Emergency Management Initiatives.
BACKGROUND
The City Council unanimously approved Phase One of the City's Emergency Management Initiatives on
May 21,2007. One of the items included in Phase One was for First Responder Support with a budget of
$100,000.00 for the purchase of a self-contained Disaster Emergency Response Trailer (DERT). The
intent was to provide shelter support for up to 100 emergency workers.
To support sustainable operations through the response, relief and recovery phases following an
emergency, the City must provide safe food, water and shelter to First Responders and emergency
workers. Additionally, the City must provide immediate emergency disaster supplies for staff should a
disaster occur while personnel are on the job. City staffwill need rapid access to food, water, personal
protective materials, First Aid supplies and accurate information alerting personnel on safe actions that
must be taken.
The American Red Cross has developed a DERT configuration that has proven very successful in
responding to shelter needs in the region. The American Red Cross also offers Disaster Supply Kits for
10 people that can be distributed to City owned facilities to provide immediate access following a
disaster and AM/FM NOAA radios with hand crank generators and cellular phone chargers which will be
essential during an emergency.
In order to provide water to emergency workers, the City must be able to draw water from the North Hill
Reservoir, fire hydrants or portable water blivets. An Emergency Water Distribution System can provide
safe drinking water from the sources listed above and includes a manifold system, a generator and single
use water bags.
Work continues on the development of a comprehensive plan for an Emergency Food Program. The
program will be finalized over the coming months.
