    2. King County Today 2,100 square miles 1.7 million people 39 cities Over 120 special purpose districts (fire, school, water, etc.) 2 Federally Recognized Tribes The National Response Plan seeks to incorporate federal, tribal, public, private and nonprofit sectors

    3. Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) HSPD-5: Management of Domestic Incidents Enhances the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system (NIMS). HSPD-8: National Preparedness Establishes policies to strengthen the preparedness of the US to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies by requiring a national domestic all-hazards preparedness goal, establishing mechanisms for improved delivery of Federal preparedness assistance to State and local governments, and outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of Federal, State, and local entities. HSPD-5 identifies steps for improved coordination in response to incidents. HSPD-8 describes the way Federal departments and agencies will prepare for a response, including prevention activities during the early stages of a terrorism incident.

    4. Chapter 38.52 RCW - Emergency Management Covers most of the requirements for executive heads of “political subdivisions,” (mayors, city councils, and boards of commissioners). A “political subdivision” is a county, city or town, for this chapter. Directs each political subdivision to establish or be a member of a joint local organization for emergency management Submit its plan and program to the state director for consistency and coordination with state emergency management programs Emergency Management involves: Hazard Awareness Risk Management Prevention and Mitigation Preparedness Response Recovery All departments and disciplines have a role in Emergency Management

    8.

In Zone 1 the various cities (Woodinville, Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, Issaquah, Duvall, Kenmore, Clyde Hill, Snoqualmie, Lake Forest Park, Medina, Shoreline, Mercer Island, North Bend) within that particular zone have chosen to have a “Zone Coordination Center.” That center will coordinate the resources from all the different cities within the zone.

    18. Zone 5’s organization is straight forward. Basically there is one jurisdiction (Seattle) along with their respective agencies. The coordination of their resources would occur in City of Seattle’s Emergency Operations Center. They will in turn communicate and coordinate with the King County Emergency Operations Center.
