c. Restoration and Recovery Capability: The City of Everett has <br /> adequate resources to restore government services and recover <br /> the economic base during routine emergencies and limited scope <br /> major disasters. A large scale or catastrophic emergency or major <br /> disaster will normally require external and federal assistance. Most <br /> emergencies and major disasters will qualify for recovery <br /> assistance from the Stafford Act. Restoration or recovery from an <br /> emergency or major disaster will be coordinated using available <br /> resources including mutual aid. The Plan does not imply any <br /> specific restoration priority or recovery from an emergency or major <br /> disaster incident. <br /> 3. Mitigation Overview: The City of Everett has an approved Hazard <br /> Mitigation Plan (HMP)that addresses strategies to improve collective <br /> hazard resilience. The HMP addresses hazards identified in the <br /> Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment. The HMP will be <br /> regularly updated and available on-line at: <br /> http://www.everettwa.orp/pdf/Fire/Everett HMP Final3.pdf. <br /> D. Planning Assumptions <br /> 1. Disaster planning cannot predict all potential emergencies or major <br /> disasters nor can it predict all potential vulnerabilities or impact. <br /> 2. Priority of response will be to protect life, public property, the <br /> environment and the economy. <br /> 3. Delivery of routine city services to citizens will likely be impacted by an <br /> emergency or major disaster and may be reduced or cease for an <br /> undetermined period of time. Continuation and restoration of services <br /> will be prioritized by the impact to citizens and resources available. <br /> 4. Some emergencies or major disasters will give enough warning for <br /> appropriate notifications to be issued allowing for some level of <br /> preparation including possible evacuation or relocation, as appropriate. <br /> Other emergencies or major disasters will occur with no advance <br /> warning. <br /> 5. In the event of a major widespread disaster, outside assistance from <br /> local, county, state or federal agencies may be limited or non-existent <br /> for an extended period of time. <br /> 6. City residents and businesses will need to utilize their own resources <br /> and be self-sufficient following an emergency or major disaster for at <br /> least three-days. <br /> II.
