<br /> There are 8 categories of concern,each with multiple action items.
<br /> One completely new category was added in this update:Economic Mitigation.When there is a natural disaster, a
<br /> separate and equally devastating economic disaster can occur. Historically, businesses have been ill-equipped to
<br /> handle these types of post-disaster changes.While not required by FEMA,the Office of Emergency Management
<br /> took the first steps in understanding the economic vulnerabilities faced in Everett, as well as planning for the next
<br /> steps--by including an Economic Mitigation Plan Annex.This Annex is intended to determine the assets and
<br /> vulnerabilities of the Everett economy and suggest items specifically designed to mitigate economic damages that
<br /> a disaster could cause.
