RE: Briefing - Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: A Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is a
requirement of all local emergency management programs as defined by RCW 38.52.070. In
order to remain eligible for grant funding, a current plan must be developed according to the
National Response Framework and the National Incident Management System and submitted
for review every four years. The 2013 CEMP replaces the 2009 version.
ANALYSIS: The CEMP was reviewed by the State Emergency Management Division as
required. According to the state plan review criterion, the Jefferson County CEMP meets the
standards in most areas and exceeds in others.
The 2013 CEMP is a joint plan with the City of Port Townsend. This plan was adopted by the
City Council in November 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT: Neutral (an ongoing requirement of the program)
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption
DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Bob Hamlin, Dept of Emergency Management
