2906 INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Public Safety Committee

BY: Raejean Kreel, Emergency Management Specialist

DATE: November 28, 2018
SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2018 Tukwila Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan
ISSUE
Adoption of the 2018 Tukwila Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)
BACKGROUND
Washington State law requires the local jurisdiction to submit their CEMP to the Washington
State Emergency Management Division every five years. Tukwila's last major update to the
CEMP was completed in 2013 and was submitted to the State Emergency Management
Division with subsequent approval on November 15, 2013. This was also required by the
Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 2.57. Due to staffing changes in the Tukwila office of
Emergency Management, the State Emergency Management Division contact, Jacob Rain, has
approved submitting the current Tukwila CEMP for review, to allow input from the State and a
more thorough revision in 2019. This will meet the letter of the law, and maintain eligibility for
federal grants, which Tukwila's Emergency Management Division relies on for the Emergency
Management Performance Grant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no funding requested in this resolution; however, adoption of a CEMP and submission
to the State Emergency Management Division every five years is required to maintain eligibility
for federal grants.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the December 10, 2018 Committee of the
Whole meeting and the Special Meeting to follow that same night.
