COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN

BASIC PLAN

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Mission

To provide guidance for comprehensive emergency management in the City of Kirkland that can:

? Minimize loss of life, protect property and the environment, and otherwise reduce community and government vulnerability to natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.

? Promote community, business, family, and individual disaster preparedness. ? Hasten the restoration of public services and provide for effective recovery in all

sectors of the community.

B. Purpose

The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) (hereafter the Plan or the CEMP) establishes a mutual understanding of authority, responsibilities, and functions within the City of Kirkland and provides a basis for incorporating essential governmental and nongovernmental agencies into the emergency management structure. The plan outlines the City's capability to handle a disaster and the organizational structure under which readiness, response and recovery activities will take place. It discusses guidelines on how City departments organize, direct, control, and coordinate their actions to continue to deliver essential functions during emergencies or disasters. The Plan uses the Incident Command System (ICS), a command and control structure implemented during an emergency or disaster.

This CEMP coordinates with the National Response Framework, the Washington State CEMP and the King County Regional Disaster Plan. It also establishes the structure for an organized and effective response to multi-agency emergencies and disasters that occur within the City. The plan defines common assumptions and policies, establishes a shared concept of operations, and pre-assigns functional responsibilities to appropriate city departments, community-based organizations, government agencies and the private sector. Through the implementation of this plan, the resources and capabilities of these various sectors can be more efficiently utilized to minimize the loss of life and property and to protect the environmental and economic health of the City.

C. Scope and Applicability

This plan outlines the capabilities and responsibilities of the City before, during, and after an incident has occurred and speaks to what City government and partner organizations can and cannot provide to the citizenry.

As a guide, and not a procedures document, the plan does not state exactly what to do from minute to minute once an emergency occurs. Rather, it provides guidelines for a well-devised system to prepare for, respond to and recovery from incidents involving all hazards.
