The HMP identifies the <br />importance of outreach to the <br />community, including businesses, <br />residents, and other organizations to <br />increase community resilience and <br />preparedness for disasters. <br />Residents, businesses, and other <br />community groups will be better <br />prepared and self-sufficient <br />resulting in less immediate need <br />from responders following an <br />emergency. <br />Educate, plan for, and exercise on <br />tsunami threat and <br />alerting/evacuation related to AHAB <br />sirens being installed on the <br />waterfront. <br />Two AHAB sirens were installed in the <br />summer of 2021. The community as <br />well as partner organizations and City <br />departments will need to be educated <br />on what the tsunami threat is in our <br />City, the purpose of the siren and <br />actions that should be taken in a real <br />event. The City CEMP identifies the <br />need to coordinate activities and <br />communicate information related to <br />hazards. <br />By planning for a tsunami event and <br />offering training and public <br />education materials or exercises, the <br />community and responders will be <br />more prepared. <br /> <br />Priority Area #3 4.9 Facilities <br />Primary Core Capability Operational Coordination <br />Secondary Core Capability Operational Communications <br />Build or Sustain Building <br />WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT <br />Improve the operational readiness of <br />Everett's Emergency Operations <br />Center (EOC) and remote/ virtual <br />EOC-level coordination activities <br />through training and credentialing <br />framework development, and <br />improvements. <br />The City's CEMP identifies the EOC as <br />a key location for operational <br />coordination and resource <br />management. Staff need to be familiar <br />with the EOC and be able to <br />effectively operate within it. The EOC <br />(including remote/ virtual EOC <br />activations) must be able to support <br />the needs of the staff and field <br />operations. <br />Training and exercising will enable <br />staff to better function in the EOC. <br />More experienced staff and a more <br />efficient EOC will result in better <br />operational coordination and <br />resource management. Identify and <br />evaluate EOC staffing credentialing <br />criteria. <br /> <br />Priority Area #4 4.10 Training <br />Primary Core Capability Operational Coordination <br />Secondary Core Capability Community Resilience <br />Build or Sustain Sustaining/Maintaining
