INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Haggerton
From: Director Emergency Managemend
Date: January 29, 2008
Subject: Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 2.57 Amendment
Issue:
Update TMC 2.57 to incorporate the requirements of the National Incident Management
System and to institutionalize the utilization of the Incident Command System for all
natural and manmade disasters.
Discussion:
In the past, government action was taken primarily only during a disaster and after a
disaster struck. Today, there is a need for a comprehensive emergency management
system to be in place at local, state, and federal levels that deals effectively with
emergency situations, not only during and after an emergency, but also before it occurs.
Dealing with disasters is a continuous and complex job. Through implementation of
measures aimed at preventing disasters or emergencies before they occur, timely and
adequate response during an actual occurrence, provision of both short and long -term
recovery assistance after the occurrence, lives can be saved and property damage
minimized.
This proposed amendment of TMC Chapter 2.57 incorporates the use of the Incident
Management System (ICS) per the National Incident Management System (NTIMS). It
directs that plans be developed and evaluated for the application of mitigation strategies,
preparation, response, and recovery mechanisms. It recognizes the Mayor's and
Council's establishment of the Emergency Management Coordinator position.
Recommendation:
Forward to Council of the Whole for discussion and the Regular Council for adoption.

Subject: The City of Tukwila Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan and Implementing Procedures
ISSUE:
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is being presented to the City
Council for adoption.
BACKGROUND:
Because of the existing and increasing possibility of disasters occurring which may be of
unprecedented size and destruction, RCW 38.52 provides for the creation of local
emergency management organizations.
City Ordnance No. 2018 dated May 28, 2003 established the City's Emergency
Management Program. As a result, the Director of Emergency Management was
empowered and directed to prepare an emergency management operating plan for the
City.
The City became a signatory to the King County Regional Disaster Plan in May of 2004.
With the advent of the National Incident Management System and the utilization of the
Incident Command System, Tukwila's CEMP needed to be updated to reflect the
incorporation of these principles.
PURPOSE:
The City's Emergency Management Program's purpose is to:
Provide an organization that meets or exceeds Federal, State, and County
requirements;
Provide resources to minimize loss of life; protect property and natural resources;
and restore the proper operation of the City of Tukwila in the event of a major
natural or manmade disaster;
Emulate the National Response Plan, Washington State CEMP, and King County
Regional Disaster Plan;
Establish the structure for an organized and effective response to emergencies;
Establish effective training and education efforts, both for City departments and
the public; and
Foster interagency cooperation with local jurisdictions, and with County, State,
and Federal agencies, school districts and private agencies.
PLAN HIGHLIGHTS
Please note that the plan itself is over 250 pages in length. A complete copy of the plan
is available for Council's review.
The following highlights are from the Plan
(See Accompanying Executive Summary and Table of Contents)
Establishes an Emergency Management Council (EMC). The Emergency
Management Council oversees, provides policy recommendations, and resolves
policy conflicts before, during, and after emergency periods, and provides
direction for the development and maintenance of the Emergency Management
Plan. The EMC is chaired by the Mayor and consists of Director of Emergency
Management, City Department Heads as needed, and City Council representation.
Establishes the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at the Parks and Golf
Maintenance Facility.
Describes roles and responsibilities.
Establishes the concept of operations.
Sets priorities for the response efforts.
Provides guidelines for the activation of the EOC. Activation occurs whenever
emergency conditions exist that normal day -to -day operations cannot handle or
be performed and immediate action is required. Addresses:
1. Who can activate the EOC and plan;
2. Who to notify.
Requires City departments to provide services in the areas of mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery to the best of their ability.
Provides for Continuity of Government Addresses the direction, control and
coordination of emergency management activities.
1. The day -to -day organizational structure of city departments shall be
maintained as much as practical during emergency and disaster operations.
2. Each city department shall provide personnel to staff the EOC.
3. On -scene management of emergencies will follow the Incident Command
System (ICS). WAC requires that the Incident Command System be used
in response to hazardous materials incidents.
4. The Mayor makes the Proclamation of Emergency. It is the legal method
that authorizes the use of extraordinary measures to accomplish tasks
associated with disaster response. In the absence of the Mayor,
proclamations may be made by the Tukwila City Council President, and in
the absence of the City Council President, an elected official would be
chosen by the City Council members present.
5. In the event a situation is beyond the capability of local and pre designated
mutual aid resources, the Director of Emergency Management will request
additional resources through the King County Office of Emergency
Management for county, state, and federal assistance.
RECOMMENDATION
Forward to the Council of the Whole for discussion and to the Regular Council for
adoption.

Introduction
Developing a Comprehensive Approach
Roles and Responsibilities
Conclusion
Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUALMARY
In the past, government action was taken primarily only during a disaster and after a disaster struck. Today, there
is a need for a comprehensive emergency management system to be in place at local, state and federal levels of
government that deals effectively with emergency situations not only during and after an emergency, but also
before, one occurs. This CEMP outlines actions be taken by the City of Tukwila to establish such an approach to
emergency management.
The development of this CEMP included an analysis of potential hazards that could affect Tukwila and an
assessment of the City's capabilities to deal with the potential problems. This updated CEMP incorporates the
Incident Command System (ICS) and has been designed to emulate the National Response Plan, Washington
State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and the King County Regional Disaster Plan.
Dealing with disasters is a continuous and complex job. Through implementation of measures aimed at preventing
disasters or emergencies before they occur, timely and adequate response during an actual occurrence, provision
of both short and long -teen recovery assistance after the occurrence of a disaster, lives can be saved and property
damage minimized. This total ongoing operation is called Comprehensive Emergency Management and it
emphasizes the interrelationship of activities, functions, and expertise necessary to deal with disasters. This
CEMP's defines common assumptions and policies, establishes a shared concept of operations, and pre assigns
functional responsibilities to appropriate disciplines, private and nonprofit organizations and government
agencies.
The City of Tukwila has the primary responsibility for disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery
activities within its jurisdiction. The City will plan for disasters, direct operations, mobilize and coordinate
resources, and mitigate the impact of disasters within the limits of available resources and capabilities. It is the
responsibility of residents to educate themselves on preparedness activities and ensure that they have the supplies
and resources to sustain themselves for at least three days; however, a week is recommended.
The City has institutionalized the utilization of the ICS per the National Incident Management System (NE IS) for
all natural and manmade disasters. The various elements of Tukwila's emergency management organization and
City departments shall endeavor to provide services in the areas of mitigation, preparedness, response, and
recovery from disasters to the best of their ability during all operational time phases.
In the event that Tukwila has fully committed its resources and is still unable to cope with any disaster, King
County will provide assistance. Similarly, the State of Washington is obligated to provide assistance to the county
after resources have been utilized and the county is unable to cope with the disaster and requests assistance. The
CEMP describes in detail how requests for assistance will be addressed among the various levels of government.
The CEMP is intended to provide an emergency management organization that meets or exceeds Federal, State,
and County requirements and to provide resources to minimize loss of life; protect property and natural resources;
and restore the proper operation of the City of Tukwila in the event of a major natural or manmade disaster.
iati
This plan provides:
Introduction
Guidance in preventing/mitigating, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies and
disasters threatening life or property within the City of Tukwila.
A framework that will guide organizational behavior (response) during emergencies or disasters.
A framework of city and county -wide cooperation to enhance disaster prevention/mitigation, preparedness,
response and recovery.
Each City Depal tnient is to become familiar with this plan to insure efficient and effective execution of
emergency responsibilities. Each Department must develop and maintain Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs).
By being prepared we can better serve the citizens of Tukwila.
This is a strategic document that will continue to be evaluated, updated, and refined to meet our changing needs.
Tukwila's Emergency Management Director will continue to coordinate input and updates to this plan and to
work with Departments, Organizations and Agencies in the continuing emergency planning process.

Date: January 29, 2008
Subject: Emergency Management Agency Integration
What is the relationship and responsibility of Tukwila, King County, State, and Federal
Government?
One of the major failings in New Orleans' response to Hurricane Katrina was the
complete breakdown of the relationship between the city, state, and federal government.
The State of Washington, King County, and local governments have spent a great deal of
time establishing the roles and responsibilities for each agency such that aid can be
requested and provided.
Attachment A shows the roles and actions that will be taken by each agency.
The response to an incident starts with the City. Once Tukwila has exhausted its
resources and response capability, including mutual aid, aid can be requested from King
County. The request would follow a Proclamation of Emergency by the Mayor.

1. If Tukwila's capabilities are exceeded, including mutual aid
assistance, and a local emergency has been declared, King County can
augment assistance to Tukwila to meet the emergency needs of
victims during declared emergencies /disasters. Requests for King
County assistance are processed through the Tukwila EOC and
coordinated with the King County Zone 3 representative.
2. The King County ECC receives and coordinates requests for county

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Director
Date: January 30, 2008
Subject: Emereencv Advisory AM Radio Signs
ISSUE
Select signage for the City's Emergency Advisory AM Radio Station.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila City Council recently approved the purchase of an Emergency Advisory AM Radio
Station from Tnformation Station Specialists. The radio system has been installed,
programmed, tested and is ready for operation as soon as the FCC approves the assigned
frequency (AM 1640).
After the City receives final FCC approval to use the 1640 KHz frequency, signs will be
procured strategically installed throughout the City (see Attachment 1) to inform residents,
businesses, and motorists about the Radio Station service. Each sign costs approximately $175
plus labor to fabricate and install.
Attachment 2 depicts two examples of signs that could be used to inform the public about the
Radio Station. Ideally, signs should be easily read and understood in a brief glance. Signs
should have white lettering and blue background and should be constructed in accordance with
the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards.
RECOMMENDATION
Present to the Finance and Safety Committee for discussion and selection of sign.
