DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY23 Page 40 of 44 Everett, E24-278 <br />WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT <br />Coordinate development and <br />delivery of NIMS, ICS, and EOC <br />position-specific training to City of <br />Everett employees and community <br />partners. <br />The City's CEMP establishes that we <br />will use NIMS and ICS principles when <br />responding to disasters. New staff will <br />need to be trained and refresher or <br />new training is needed for existing <br />staff. <br />Increased NIMS, ICS, and EOC <br />position specific training will <br />improve the City's ability to <br />integrate all response resources, <br />maintain emergency responder <br />safety, and streamline incident <br />management processes. <br />Collaborate with City departments, <br />businesses, and other community <br />partners on joint emergency <br />preparedness, response, and <br />recovery training/exercise <br />opportunities. <br />The City's CEMP and HMP both <br />highlight the importance of <br />collaborative training and exercising to <br />identify capabilities and gaps when <br />responding together. <br />Joint training and exercising ensure <br />greater relationship building and <br />common communication. It leads to <br />entities being more familiar with <br />partner plans, procedures, <br />operations, and infrastructure. <br />Deliver, sustain, and update the <br />Community Emergency Response <br />Team (CERT) and Registered <br />Emergency Worker programs. <br />The City's CEMP explains the use of <br />CERT trained volunteers and <br />registered emergency workers to <br />support disaster and preparedness <br />operations. Trainings for new and <br />existing volunteers are necessary to <br />sustain the program. <br />Participants of the CERT and other <br />training programs will have <br />increased skills and abilities to take <br />care of themselves, their families, <br />and their communities. Registered <br />Emergency Workers can also be <br />included in preparedness, response, <br />and recovery activities. <br /> <br />Priority Area #5 4.5 Operational Planning and Procedures <br />Primary Core Capability Operational Coordination <br />Secondary Core Capability Planning <br />Build or Sustain Building <br />WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT <br />Continued integration of <br />Comprehensive Emergency <br />Management Plan (CEMP) plan <br />components with departmental and <br />jurisdictional stakeholders. <br />The CEMP will be shared and trained <br />on. For the next CEMP update cycle, <br />additional annexes may need to be <br />developed to address jurisdictional <br />impacts. <br />CEMP training and stakeholder <br />outreach will support resilience and <br />operational readiness. <br />Work with partner agencies to <br />update the Damage Assessment plan. <br />Prepare and exercise City, non-City <br />personnel, and volunteers to assess <br />post-earthquake building damage. <br />After a major earthquake, buildings in <br />Everett will have varying degrees of <br />damage. Those buildings will need to <br />be evaluated to determine if they are <br />safe for re-entry. Everett's Building <br />Department does not have enough <br />personnel to evaluate all buildings <br />quickly. The City’s CEMP points to <br />other City Department personnel to <br />play a role in at least initial damage <br />assessments. <br />Having more individuals properly <br />trained to assess buildings after an <br />earthquake may allow people to <br />reenter buildings sooner for <br />response and recovery efforts. Being <br />able to identify dangerous buildings <br />earlier could also help to prevent <br />injury.
