COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
2009 REVISION
LETTER OF PROMULGATION
This is the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for Jefferson County and the City of Port
Townsend consistent with the requirements of the Revised Code of Washington, Chapter 38.52.
This Strategic Plan, and the subordinate plans and procedures as may from time to time be implemented,
is the recognized and adopted strategy for overall direction and coordination of resources in time of
emergency. This plan is the baseline for further development of the procedures necessary for carrying
out the responsibilities defined herein.
Collaboration is the vital theme of this effort. A common management system, close inter-jurisdictional
coordination, the sharing of essential resources, and full engagement of the community, is critical to
meeting crisis needs.
We strongly urge each office and department of Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend, and the
many partner organizations identified in this plan; to become familiar with its contents and be prepared to
discharge their special duties; and, in time of emergency, to coordinate their respective resources
according to plan.
The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is a working document, and will be regularly updated
to meet changing needs. The Department of Emergency Management will continue to coordinate
ongoing planning, training, drills, and exercises necessary to assure effective implementation in time of
disaster.

Jefferson County - City of Port Townsend
COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Part 1: Basic Plan
Section 1
Introduction and Strategy
April 15, 2009
MISSION AND STRATEGIC VISION - This emergency management plan and program defines
how we will carry out the duties of the governments of Jefferson County and the City of Port
Townsend to meet the needs of our geographically unique community in the event of a major
emergency or disaster.
Our vision is to affect an agenda of preparedness and collaboration among government and non-
government entities, the private sector, and our citizens to restore critical services and re-
establish public health and order following a disaster. It is through this process of joint effort that
we can reduce the impact of the emergency, and make the best use of our strengths, resources,
and will.
NATIONAL PLANNING ENVIRONMENT - The Nationai Response Framework (NRF), approved
by the President, explains a common discipline for managing incidents at the local, state, or
national level. With this unified strategy comes the duty of local government to plan for effective
shared response.
The common discipline and structures of disaster response recommended by the NRF are based
on best practices for managing incidents at all levels of complexity. Local planning will be
consistent with this national initiative.
REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW - Chapter 38.52 Revised Code of Washington, requires each
political subdivision of the State of Washington to establish and maintain a program of disaster
mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery to deal with the hazards identified in the
community.
The emergency management program, established by resolution and defined by an approved
plan, must be consistent with State and Federal expectations and best practices to assure the
maximum coordination and use of resources at all levels.
SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY - This plan addresses the disaster responsibilities of the
personnel, services, equipment, supplies, and facilities of the offices and departments of
Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend, as well as the emergency roles of those special
purpose districts, quasi municipal corporations, private sector organizations and commercial
resources that participate in the overall program by agreement or understanding.
PHASES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT - Expectations are different in the four phases of
emergency management - Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. This plan, and
the sub-elements included by reference, addresses all phases.
JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT - The Department of
Emergency Management (OEM) is established to administer the program and coordinate
activities according to the plan. Administrative offices of the department are located at the
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Port Hadlock. The EOC is also the primary location for
overall implementation of the CEMP.

THE COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN - The Jefferson County-Port
Townsend Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) meets the requirements of the
law by defining how a program for emergency management will be implemented. The CEMP, in
its various component parts, identifies the hazard or threat, establishes the strategy, guides
operations, and organizes resources to meet the emergency response and recovery needs of the
community.
JOINT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION - The law allows a joint organizatitm of
emergency management between jurisdictions. An agreement between Jefferson County and
the City of Port Townsend defines how the multi-jurisdictional program will be achieved, and how
collaborative disaster planning, training and coordination of operations makes the best use of
limited locai resources.
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AS A BASIS FOR PLANNING - A Hazard Identification and
Vulnerability Analysis (HIVA) enumerates the hazards this community may face, the potential
impact of these hazards, and the overall probability of occurrence. The HIVA is the foundation for
emergency planning and therefore establishes the context in which a disaster plan and program
is developed and executed.
UNIQUE PLANNING CHALLENGES - The North Olympic Peninsula presents some special
challenges to emergency planning. With our desirable rural character comes a shortfall in
response and recovery resources (surge capacity) necessary to meet all emergency needs.
Isolation from timely outside aid, caused by the damage to just a few roads or bridges, extends
our self-sufficiency target to a minimum of five to seven days. In the event of a larger event
impacting the Western Washington region, we are a lower priority relative to the larger population
centers, requiring even more capacity for self-sufficiency. These unique challenges highlight the
necessity for planning, coordination, and organized sharing of response and recovery resources.
PLANNING OBJECTIVES - This is an all-hazards plan covering the full range of natural or man-
made/technological disasters (including the consequences of terrorism) in a single flexible
concept of operations. The execution of the plan is based on the universal coordination methods
defined in the National Response Framework to assure consistency and seamless collaboration.
The National Incident Management System is recognized throughout the plan as the basis for
organization and management of resources.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK - The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide
to how the nation conducts all-hazards response and recovery. NRF gives a clear view of how
joint responsibilities for disaster response and recovery will be carried out. It organizes federal
resources for support of state and local disaster response and recovery. The National Response
Framework establishes a universal, standardized method of coordination known as the National
Incident Management System.
NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS) - NIMS provides a nationwide template
to enable Federal, State, local, and tribal governments, the private sector and non-governmental
organizations to work together. NIMS represents a core set of doctrine, concept, principles,
terminology, and organizational processes to foster collaboration at all levels.
The Jefferson County CEMP is based on NIMS throughout the entire spectrum of planning,
training, exercises, and operations coordination. This approach is in harmony with State and
Federal expectations.
The Incident Command System (ICS), the resource coordination and management module of the
National Incident Management System, is recognized and employed by all local emergency
management partner agencies involved in complex multi-agency and multi-jurisdiction operations.

STATE COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN - The State of Washington
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan mirrors the NRF by defining how state, local, and
tribal entities will coordinate under the overall national scheme.
LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING MODEL - Jefferson County has developed a planning model
that reflects our local concept of operations. The plan's major elements are consistent with the
requirements of the law and best practices, and are centered on the standards and expectations
of the State of Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
The following six parts collectively make up the Jefferson County-Port Townsend Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan. Each component is designed to add incrementally to the overall
view.
Part 1 - Emergency Management Strategic Plan (EMSP). The EMSP (this document-
also known as the Basic Plan) defines the overall strategy for development and delivery
of a program of disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Part 2 - Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Analysis (HIVA) '. This is an inventory ot
conditions in the community that have a potential for larger impact and can adversely
affect people, property, the environment, and the economy.
Part 3 - Emergency Operations Guide (EOG)'. The EOG provides details by which the
plan is implemented. The EOG serves as a training manual, and the associated
Emergency Action Checkiists support rapid implementation, Part 3 consists of:
. Part 3.1 - Hazard-Specific Annexes
. Part 3.2 - Functional Annexes
. Part 3.3 - Special Subjects
Part 4 - Supporting Emergency Plans and Procedures3. This is a compendium of plans
and procedures developed by partner agencies for specific response and recovery
scenarios.
Part 5 - Resource Manual'. This frequently changing component contains the data
necessary to support operations. It includes contact information, resource inventories,
and the information needed to obtain, deploy and account for essential resources.
Part 6 - Quick Reference Manual. This segment provides for rapid access to the key
information needed to implement the system in an emergency.
PURPOSE OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT BASIC PLAN - The Emergency
Management Basic Plan is the central defining element of the Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan required by law. It is a macro-view of how the authority and responsibility for
emergency management will be implemented. The EMSP is adopted by individual resolution of
the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners and the Port Townsend City Council.
The supporting elements of the CEMP, (subjectto frequent modifications to assure currency), are
consistent with the EMSP and are included in the overall strategy by reference.

STRUCTURE OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN - The EMSP (Basic Plan) is divided into seven
sections:
S 1.1 -Introduction and Strategic Vision. An overview of the emergency management
plan and program and an outline of the concept of operations (this document).
S 1.2- Emergency Management and Multi-Agency Coordination. This section defines
the mechanism for coordination of multiple agencies and organizations involved in the
emergency or disaster, and explains the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency
Operations Center and the Incident Management Team.
S 1.3 - Emergency Services and Support Agencies. This section discusses
how the first line response agencies and their support services will conduct emergency
operations under the overall coordination schematic.
S 1.4 - Engineering and Utilities. Section 1.4 covers issues relating to public works,
utilities restoration, and public facilities.
S 1.5 - Resource Management. Discussion of acquisition and distribution of essential
material support.
S 1.6 - Community Operations. This section provides for coordination of community
partners in delivering essential services to special needs populations. It also includes
provisions for neighborhood preparedness groups, animal welfare services, shelter and
assistance (mass care), and discusses the conduit for communication with community
groups and private business. Schools are included in the Community Operations
segment. A major component of Community Operations is a process for dissemination of
emergency public information.
S 1.7- Government Operations, Administration and Finance. This element addresses
policy-level support, financial issues and procurement, damage assessment, and
coordination of short term and long term recovery. Declaration of emergency, the
enactment of emergency powers, and continuity of government are also outlined here.
S 1.8 - Addenda. This section includes a matrix of roles and responsibilities, a
compendium of legal references and other documents that support the strategic concept
of operations.
SUPPORTING PLANS AND PROCEDURES - Local emergency response and recovery partners
develop internal plans and procedures that support the overall concept of operations. Local
agency plans identify how they will conduct and coordinate their activities to support collaboration
with all the partners under a single overarching concept of operation. The major supporting plans
are included in the CEMP by reference.
These partner agencies recognize the necessity for overall coordination in accordance with this
plan, but retain their full authority and responsibility for direction and control of their own assets
and execution of their individual agency plans and procedures.
IMPLEMENTATION TRAINING AND EXERCISES - The Department of Emergency
Management will coordinate training aimed at implementation of the plan according to agency
roles and responsibilities.
DISASTER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES - Overall coordination is implemented by a multi-
agencylmulti-jurisdiction Incident Management Team at the Emergency Operations Center
(EOC). The Incident Management Team (IMT) is structured according to the Incident Command
System.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITIES - The success of the plan is based on the assumption that our
citizens will take some personal accountability for their own preparedness. A number of
neighborhood disaster preparedness organizations have taken up this important challenge.
Individual and family self-sufficiency for a minimum of five to seven days is the objective.
Neighborhood Preparedness Groups (NPGs) will be discussed in detail in S 1.5 - Community
Operations.
Public education and disaster preparedness outreach materials will be made available from a
number of sources to encourage and support individual and family preparedness.
SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS - Persons with disabilities or other special needs are an
important priority in our emergency planning. These already vulnerable citizens become even
more so in an emergency or disaster. All associated emergency plans will include a special
needs component to assure this segment of the population is included at every level.
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS - Not all emergency/disaster situations can be foreseen,
and it would not be possible to define all scenarios that might occur. Some limitations should be
noted:
. Local resources may be overwhelmed, damaged, or otherwise limited in their ability to
respond as planned. It may not be possible to meet all needs under extreme
circumstances.
. The lack of funds or a shortage of resources may limit the ability to conduct emergency
operations as planned.
. The inability to disseminate local warnings may result in some citizens not receiving
emergency information. This plan relies heavily on the capabilities of the State and
Federal governments and the news media.
. Geographic isolation or impaired access may limit or prevent timely delivery of outside
aid.
PARTICIPATION IN THE PLANNING PROCESS - Development of emergency plans and
procedures, the design and conduct of drills and exercises, and the ongoing training necessary to
keep the program current is facilitated by Emergency Planning Work Groups. The Emergency
Planning Work Groups are the core of the planning process, and provide valuable insight into
how community assets can be maximized.
Collectively the Emergency Planning Works Group makes up the Jefferson County - Port
Townsend Regional Emergency Planning Council (JPREP).
PLAN REVIEW AND REVISION - The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is revised
as necessary every four calendar years. Components of the CEMP are reviewed annually and
updated as needed to assure currency with best practices.
PLAN DISTRIBUTION - The adopted Emergency Management Strategic Plan (Basic Plan) will
be distributed in paper version to all partner agencies. An electronic version in .pdf format will
also be available for distribution.
Additional copies of this plan can be obtained by contacting the Department of Emergency
Management, 81 Elkins Road, Port Hadlock, WA 98339 or by calling our business line at 360-
385-9368. Our e-mail addressisicdem@coJefferson.wa.us. Reference to important parts of this

Jefferson County - City of Port Townsend
COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Part 1: Basic Plan
Section 2
Emergency Management and Coordination
April 15, 2009
LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION - The Jefferson County Board of
County Commissioners established the Department of Emergency Management by resolution
and assigned overall supervision of the department to the County Administrator. The Interlocal
Agreement for Emergency Management assigns that duty to the City Administrator for city-only
operations.
A Program Manager, appointed by the County Administrator, is responsible for day-to-day
operation of the program, supervision of Emergency Management staff, and coordination of
planning, training, drills, and exercises to assure readiness to implement the plan in an
emergency.
The Program Manager and the department staff are County employees and operate under the
personnel rules of the county. The City provides designated personnel to the program as a part
of their support obligation under the Agreement. The existing departments, offices, and agencies
of the City and County, including municipal corporations and special districts, shall be utilized to
the extent possible in carrying out the responsibilities for emergency management.
Nongovernmental organizations and the private sector entities cooperate and coordinate with the
Emergency Management program through various formal and informal mechanisms.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) - The EOC is a dedicated facility for the joint
agency coordination of overall response and recovery according to this plan, and was established
at the Public Safety Complex in Port Hadlock. Interoperability and communications are enhanced
by proximity to Jeffcom, the county Public Safety Answering Point.
An Alternate Emergency Operations Center (A-EOC) is established at Fire Station 1-6 in the City
of Port Townsend. The A-EOC also serves as the primary Command Center for city-only
incidents and for coordination of City assets.
Continuity of operations under a wide range of conditions requires robustness of the physical
plant. Backup (alternate) communications, emergency power, extended operations support, and
immediate access to public safety radio (Jeffcom) are important design components of the EOC.
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAM - An EOC Incident Management Team (EOC IMT) is
established to provide overall coordination and support. It is a combination of Emergency
Management staff, agency representatives, and trained volunteers. The team is organized
according to the Incident Command System (ICS) consistent with the NIMS compliance
requirement.'
The EOC IMT acts as a coordinating body to aid and assist Unified Command by providing
central coordination for regional incidents, and while acting in support for site-specific events.

The EOC Manager leads the Incident Management Team. The EOC IMT may be expanded to
meet the nature and scope of the incident.
PARTNER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS - Response to an emergency or disaster under
this plan employs a partnership approach for bringing to bear all the available assets and
capabilities needed to reduce injury and mitigate damage. The community partners, by
agreement, support the emergency response agencies as needed to provide critical services to
our citizens.
Contact with those partnerships is provided by the EOC incident Management Team utilizing a
wide variety of communications tools. Each stakeholder is afforded unique connectivity to the
team for development of plans, training, exercises, and emergency operations coordination.
These partnerships are multilateral, and coordinated through a central point to assure the best
use of resources.
INTERNAL CONTROL RETAINED - Each partner organization retains its own identity and
internal control. There is no intent in this plan to subordinate any entity. Coordination and
support through the Incident Management Team in the Emergency Operations Center is
voluntary and undertaken by agreement in the best interest of the community,
The EOC Incident Management Team is structured to provide an identifiable point of contact for
each partner discipline. Participating emergency response agencies maintain their incident
command status, while recognizing overall coordination of the Emergency Operations Center.
Active !:No-way communication is essential to ensure optimum efficiency. timeliness, and
effective ness,
Nothing in this plan is intended to interfere with the existing chain-of-command of any
participating agency or organization.
AGENCY REPRESENTATIVES. Coordination is supported by the assignment of representatives
from each partner agency to the EOC Incident Management Team. Some agencies require direct
representation while others recognize surrogates based on the Incident Command System
structure.
Agency representatives to the EOC Incident Management Team are authorized to speak for their
parent agency regarding coordination of emergency operations.
OPERATIONAL AREAS - Span of control is maintained by segmenting Jefferson County into
Operational Areas (OA)'. These OAs, roughly approximating the five existing Fire Districts and
West Jefferson County, apportion the community by geography and common resources. The
basic facilities of an Operational Area are:
. Coordination Center (for primary direction and control point)
. Point of Distribution (for distribution of critical supplies). More than one POD may be
identified to cover geographic separation
. Air transportation capabilities (landing strips or suitable LZ's)
. Marine transportation capabilities (for movement of goods and people by water)
. Communications capabilities (development of a communications plan or each OA
consistent with the overall communications ne!:Norks)
. Critical facilities inventory (identification of vulnerable facilities)
. Shelter facilities (community points of refuge and mass care shelters)

CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND LIAISON - Coordination between the Emergency Operations
Center and the City of Port Townsend response and recovery resources will be facilitated by
assignment of a Liaison to the EOC Incident Management Team. The duty of the PT Liaison is to
assure the exchange of communication with the City Command Center when activated jointly with
the EOC.
CITY COMMAND CENTER (CCC) - For incidents only involving the city, the City Command
Center will act as the primary direction and control point for city resources. The Emergency
Operations Center may be activated in support as needed, or members of the EOC Incident
Management Team assigned to the CCC to assist where needed.

COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Part 1: Basic Plan
Section 3
Emergency Services
April 15, 2009
EMERGENCY SERVICES - This section describes emergency response agencies (fire,
emergency medical, law enforcement, coroner, search and rescue, and public safety
communications), how they plan to augment local capabilities with outside help (surge capacity),
and how they will coordinate overali response.
Surge capacity is the ability of the agency or organization to obtain, coordinate, deploy and
communicate with like resources when local assets are exhausted or overwhelmed.
ORGANIZATION AND DELIVERY OF FIRE/EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES - Fire and
Emergency Medical (pre-hospital) Services (EMS) are organized into six Rural Fire Protection
Districts (Fire Districts) encompassing the populated areas of East Jefferson County and a
segment of West Jefferson County. Fire Districts are municipal corporations and considered
political subdivisions of the state.
The Fire Districts are organized and equipped to deliver both fire suppression and EMS. Career
personnel make up about 20% of the workforce, the remainder being qualified volunteers.
FIRE/EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES SURGE CAPACITY - The Fire Districts maintain
formal and informal agreements with adjacent fire agencies for augmentation of local forces as
need. Some of these agreements call for automatic response to certain kinds of calls.
Formalized mutual aid understandings address cost recovery and other administrative issues
relating to sharing resources.
When immediate Jefferson County mutual aid resources are exhausted, and the incident is not
resolved, the Incident Commander may request activation of the Olympic Region Fire Defense
Plan, mobilizing requested resources from Clallam County. Should additional resources be
needed, the State Fire Mobilization Plan can be implemented to provide assistance from
throughout the state.
Fire Districts have the option of establishment of Area Command. Area Command means they
assume direct control and prioritization of their own assets within their individual areas of
operation. Area Command protocols provide for the prioritization of limited resources at the
district level.
Overall coordination of Fire/Emergency Medical Services is accomplished by representation on
the EOC Incident Management Team in the Operations Section. Fire/EMS may also be assigned
to Unified Command in some circumstances.
ORGANIZATION AND DELIVERY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT - The Jefferson County Sheriffs
Office and the Port Townsend Police Department comprise the local law enforcement agencies.
The Sheriff is an elected Constitutional Officer of the County; the Chief of Police is appointed by
the City Manager.

The Sheriff's Office performs law enforcement duties in the unincorporated portions of the county,
and executes Civil Process in both the County and the City. The Sheriff also provides jail
services. The Port Townsend Police Department provides law enforcement duties within the
boundaries of the City.
The Police Department is headquartered in Port Townsend, and the Sheriff's Office is located at
Port Hadlock, Sheriff's Office annexes are located in the Quilcene and Clearwater areas to
provide additional outreach. Both the Sheriff's Office and the Police Department maintain a small
force of volunteer reserve personnel available for limited duties as needed.
LAW ENFORCEMENT SURGE CAPACITY - Sheriff's Office and the Police Department
personnel frequently interact on an informal, mutual aid basis. This temporary arrangement is
also supported by local troopers from the Washington State Patrol when available. More formal
mutual aid understandings are in place between the Sheriff and law enforcement agencies in
adjacent jurisdictions.
When local and immediate mutual aid resources are exhausted, including assistance from
Clallam County, the State Law Enforcement Mobilization Plan can be implemented to provide
requested assistance from throughout the state.
Law Enforcement representation in the EOC is assigned to the Operations Section.
ORGANIZATION AND DELIVERY OF PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES - Jefferson County Public
Health (JCPH) provides programs and services to help protect and improve the health of the
community. JCPH serves both the County and the City. They coordinate several programs
essential to disaster response and recovery including food safety, water quality, immunizations
and control of communicable diseases. Critical services aiso include family support and
developmental disabilities programs.
The Jefferson County Health Officer has overall responsibility for direction of the program under
the law. The Jefferson County Board of Health defines overall policy. A Department Director and
professional staff carry out their duties on a daily basis.

A Public Health Emergency Response Plan defines how the JCPH plans to deal with a health
emergency, and how their activities will be coordinated with the Emergency Operations Center.
PUBLIC HEALTH SURGE CAPACITY - Jefferson County Public Health is a partner in the
Homeland Security Region 2 Health Emergency plan. This partnership augments local resources
by mutual aid with both Clallam and Kitsap Counties health organizations. Additional resources
are available in an emergency from the State Department of Health.
The Health Department is assigned to the Operations Section, Health Unit in the EOC. A Health
Command Center may be established to carry out detailed deployment according to internal
plans.
HOSPITAL SERVICES - Jefferson County Hospital District NO.2 operates Jefferson Healthcare
(previously Jefferson General Hospital) in Port Townsend. It is the only hospital serving East
Jefferson County. Hospital services in West Jefferson County are provided by the Forks
Community Hospital (West Clallam County) serving West Jefferson County as Hospital District
NO.1. Jefferson Healthcare is a municipal corporation, operating under a five member elected
commission.
Jefferson Healthcare is an integrated rural health care system that includes the single hospital,
physicians' clinics, home health and hospice, outpatient diagnostic services, and rehabilitation
services. Limited emergency room facilities are provided. It is not a certified trauma center.

An internal disaster plan defines how the hospital will coordinate resources in an emergency.
HOSPITAL SURGE CAPACITY - The ability of Jefferson Healthcare to staff up to meet
extraordinary need is provided by implementation of a Surge Capacity Plan. This plan makes
maximum use of hospital-related clinics, local retired medical professionals (Medical Reserve
Corps) and volunteer resources to augment existing personnel and capabilities. The Jefferson
County Healthcare Coalition, a component of Homeiand Security Region 2 Healthcare Coalition,
coordinates planning and emergency preparedness.
Communication with Jefferson Healthcare is through the Operations Section in the EOC.
DUTIES OF THE CORONER AND DISPOSITION OF HUMAN REMAINS - The Jefferson County
Prosecutor is the Coroner. The death of all persons, with certain limited exceptions, falls within
the jurisdiction of the County Coroner. The Coroner is responsible for identification,
determination of cause of death, notification of next of kin, and disposition of unclaimed bodies.
Deputy Prosecutors assume the duty of Deputy Coroner. The Coroner is not a medical examiner,
and outside ME services are used when an autopsy is required.
A single funeral home in Port Townsend assists with removal and temporary storage of human
remains. A Multiple Fatality Plan defines surge capacity for disposition of human remains above
local capabilities. Law enforcement personnel can be authorized by the Coroner to act as Deputy
Coroner in emergency circumstances.
The Coroner is represented on the EOC Incident Management Team by the Law Enforcement
Unit in the Operations Section.
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES - A Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
and dispatch center was established jointly by the law enforcement and fire agencies. Jeffcom is
the 9-1-1 center and public safety dispatching service for all of Jefferson County. Jeffcom
receives 9-1-1 cails, communicates with law enforcement and fire/EMS assets, tracks the status
of resources, and acts as the primary point of contact for mutual aid services requested by the
incident command agency.
Jeffcom is also the 24-hour warning point for larger incidents impacting Jefferson County.
Dispatchers monitor the National Warning System (NAWAS) for this purpose, and have internal
procedures for timely notification of key personnel.
In the event of the need to evacuate the primary dispatch center at Port Hadlock, Jeffcom
maintains an Alternate Public Safety Answering Point (A-PSAP) at Port Townsend. The A-PSAP
provides much the same services as the primary location, and is co-located with the Alternate
Emergency Operations Center.
Jeffcom maintains internal procedures for rapid expansion of capability should emergency
overload occur. The Jeffcom Director coordinates all public safety communications services,
including support services, in an emergency.
SUPPORT COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES - AMATEUR (HAM) RADIO - Supporting
communications services are provided by the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES)
organization within the Amateur Radio (HAM) community. An extensive communications network
has been established to -augment existing capabilities when needed, under the coordination of the
Emergency Operations Center.
RACES utilizes the existing personnel and facilities of the HAM community, organized to provide
back-up communications between several critical facilities and the Emergency Operations
Center.

The RACES Plan is CEMP Part 3, Section 3.2.03, Attachment 8, and it defines how Amateur
Radio resources will be utilized to the best advantage.
Amateur Radio resources are coordinated by the Logistics Section (Service Branch) of the
EQC Incident Management Team.
SEARCH AND RESCUE - A Search and Rescue (SAR) capability has been established by the
Jefferson County Sheriff. The SAR organization is focused on wilderness and rough county
search and rescue, and operates under the program standards established by the State of
Washington.
Local SAR capabilities are augmented by mutual aid arrangements with adjacent jurisdictions.
Additional resources, when needed (including specialty services, aviation support, etc.), are
requested through the State Emergency Management Duty Officer.
Urban SAR (collapsed buildings, buming structures, etc.) is performed by certified fire/EMS
personnel. JCSO SAR resources are available to support fire/EMS efforts when appropriate.
Search and Rescue is coordinated through the Law Enforcement Unit of the Operations Section
in the EOC.

COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMeNT PLAN
Part 1: 8asic Plan
Section 5
Resource Management
April 15, 2009
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY - The resource management objective is to identify
unmet community emergency needs, establish strategic priorities for meeting those needs,
acquire the essential resources, and coordinate the best application of those resources toward
the overali incident objectives. In addition, the emergency management system provides
coordination of materiel support to the emergency response and recovery partners.
RESOURCES - The general term "resource", as used here, means personnel, supplies,
equipment, services, or funds. Such resources, vital to the execution of this plan, may be drawn
from existing government agencies, rented, leased, purchased, loaned, conscripted, or donated.
STATUS OF ORGANIC (INTERNAL) RESOURCES - Local emergency response organizations
have existing plans and procedures for augmenting their capabilities (surge capacity). This
includes agreements with adjacent agencies and jurisdictions, regional mutual aid agreements,
state mobilization plans, and similar instruments of coliaboration. For purposes of this plan these
are "organic" resources, and considered for direct coordination by the emergency management
system only where there is a critical scarcity. An organic resource is coordinated by the recipient
agency according to a pre-arranged command structure.
INFORMATION SHARING AND COORDINATION - Although many organic resources may be
obtained, assigned and applied without direct involvement of the Emergency Operations Center,
coordination of that information with the EOC is important to understand the scope of the
response, reduce the possibility of duplication, and flli in the big-picture information necessary to
grasp the scope of the response. That process is particularly important when local and mutual
aid resources are about to become exhausted or depleted and may need to be replaced with
outside help.
IDENTIFICATION OF UNMET NEEDS" Unmet needs are those critical life and safety elements
associated with the incident for which there are no apparent and timely solutions. Meeting those
needs may require re-prioritization of local capabilities. acquisition of external resources, or some
other combination of efforts to mitigate the hardship.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESOURCES AS FIRST PRIORITY - It is the responsibility of local
government to aid persons suffering from injury or damage. Jefferson County and the City of Port
Townsend are required to utilize their personnel, faciiities, services and equipment (resources) to
the extent possible to mitigate the emergency.' This is the first level in the cost assignment
hierarchy. Externai resources are utilized in support of local efforts,
SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE LAW - EMERGENCY POWERS - In carrying out response to
an emergency within this plan, when a Declaration of Emergency has been made, the County
and the City have the power to enter into contracts and incur the obligations necessary to protect
health and safety of persons and property and provide emergency assistance to victims. These

, actions can be taken without regard to time-consuming procedures. This includes such
fonnalities as budget law limitations, competitive bidding, etc.'
BORROWING SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT FROM CITIZENS - In the event of a disaster. after
proclamation by the governor, the County and the City shall have the power to command services
and equipment of private citizens, PROVIDED, that they are entitled to the privileges, benefits,
and immunities identified in the law.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROCESS - The Emergency Operations Center Incident
Management Team will establish a resource ordering and tracking process to assist with the
acquisition and coordination of requested resources. This system will provide the tracking
procedures necessary to document the request, ordering, receiving and delivery of ordered
resources. Resource management is the responsibility of the Logistics Section of the EOC
Incident Management Team.
CENTRAL RECEIVING AND DISTRIBUTION - Consistent with state and federal requirements, a
central material staging depot may be identified to serve Jefferson County, with additional points
of distribution planned for each of the Operational Areas.
CONTROL OF A TRANSFERRED RESOURCE - When requested resources, processed through
the resource management system, are received and assigned to a requesting agency they will be
considered transferred to the direct management control of the requestor until released. When a
transferred resource has an internai command/supervision structure, that structure will remain
intact within the overall organization of the requesting agency.
RESOURCES REQUESTED BY OTHER AGENCIES - Where essential resources are being
acquired through the emergency management system at the request of other response agencies,
the cost of those resources will be assigned to the requesting agency. Whenever possible, the
costs will be pre-identified.
RESOURCES NOT OFFICIALLY REQUESTED - There is a prescribed resource ordering
process in place through the Emergency Operations Center. The cost for resources that are not
requested through this resource management process (including those that respond
spontaneously) may not be eligibie for reimbursement should it become available.
Unrequested/unplanned resources are seldom used, and may interfere with the resource
management system.
REIMBURSEMENT ELIGIBILITY - Some incident related costs may become reimbursable (or
partially reimbursable) under state or federal law. An example of reimbursable expenses is those
extraordinary costs associated with emergency action of a certain qualified nature under the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act.
Reimbursement eligibility, if any, will require detailed records. No emergency action should be
undertaken with the advanced expectation of reimbursement. Some reimbursement may require
local matching funds (either direct or indirect).
DONA TED GOODS AND SERVICES - Procedures are in place, within the resource
management system, to receive and process donated goods and services. To the extent
possible, the spontaneous donation of goods and services will be directed to one of the several
non-profit relief organizations for use in their disaster related activities. Where special resources
are needed, there may be a direct appeal.
The Logistics Section of the EOC Incident Management Team will be responsible for overall
coordination of donated goods and services.

VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT - Every citizen who wishes to volunteer their services in an
emergency should have the opportunity to do s6 where possible. There are many essential
functions that can be perfonned by trained or untrained volunteers consistent wtth their abilities.
The resource management system will include provisions for their recruitment, screening,
processing, assignment and tracking. To the extent possible, the administration of volunteer
management will be assigned to the existing non-profit relief agencies.
I
When volunteers are utilized by private agencies, assumption of liability will be in accordance with
their internai policies. Other volunteers, assigned outside of existing groups, will be provided the
special protections defined by the law for emergency workers.3

COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Part 1: Basic Plan
Section 6
Public Affairs and Community Outreach
April 15, 2009
CITIZEN PREPAREDNESS - Disaster preparedness of our citizens is a key component of our
emergency management strategy. The promotion and support of local family and business
readiness will result in a reduction of demand for limited resources in an emergency and
accelerate community recovery. A comprehensive emphasis on responsibility and collaboration,
along with a four-way communication scheme, is the basis of our community outreach.
PUBLIC EDUCATION - The emergency management system strongly supports preparedness
education at the family and neighborhood level. Jefferson County Emergency Management fully
utilizes a wide variety of pre-planned events in the community as well as traditional media outlets
to promote awareness and preparedness education. Additionally, through the department's web
page, links can be found to assist the community in better understanding the potential for various
weather and non-weather related events or disasters.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIP - The promotion of preparedness activities neighborhood-by-
neighborhood is a way to increase partnership. Self-sustaining neighborhoods, with internal
plans for initial response to disasters at the block level, provide a support base that
accommodates both our scarcity of assets as well as our sense of community.
Organized neighborhoods are an emergency preparedness core value. Prepared neighborhoods
share resources, expertise, and communications, relieving emergency responders to concentrate
on broader priorities.
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE A COMPONENT OF THE WARNING NETWORK - Whenever
possible, the use of organized neighborhood communications networks will be employed as an
adjunct to the traditional warning and emergency information dissemination processes.
Leveraging these relationships reinforces saturation of information.
EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION. The timely dissemination of public information following
a major emergency expands the warning component by filling in the details. The demand for
information exceeds most other emergency elements. The regional and national media provide
some elements of this information, but localization best fulfills the need. Our emergency public
information strategy is to augment traditional outlets with details essential to our community using
methods known to work in our community.
LIMITATIONS TO EMERGENCY INFORMATION DISSEMINATION - A single local broadcast
outlet (KPTZ), with partial coverage of the Northern part of our operational area, limits local
control over emergency public information. Outside of the Port Townsend/KPTZ coverage area
we rely on regional media (large Puget Sound area radio and television stations) to carry
important local information to the majority of our population. This is sometimes problematic due
to prioritization of information aimed at the large market areas of those commercial outlets. Our
local print media, while limited in an emergency as well, plan to support our information
dissemination efforts in protracted events.

JOINT INFORMATION PROCESS - The multiple emergency response and recovery partners
represented on the EOC Incident Management Team understand and support the need for
coordinated community message. The concept of a Joint Information Center will be used to
make sure all stakeholders have message saturation in an emergency, and speak with a
common, unified voice.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MASS CARE, SHELTER, AND ASSISTANCE - Coordination of a
program ". . . to aid victims suffering from injury or damage resulting from disasters caused by all
hazards. . . " is an essentiai responsibility of emergency management. The strategy for this
essential function is to make the best coordinated use of resources from the many non-profit relief
agencies and community organizations.'
COMMUNITY OPERATIONS - To assure coordination of disaster relief, a Community
Operations Branch (COB) has been established in the EOC Incident Management Team. The
COB is responsible for coordination of:
. Special needs populations (uniquely vulnerable citizens)
. Expedient shelter and temporary housing
. Food programs (mass feeding and bulk food/water distribution)
. Short term assistance to individuals
. Neighborhood preparedness groups
. Disaster animal welfare
SPECIAL NEEDS IDENTIFIED - Vulnerable citizens include those who may need additional
assistance in an emergency because of reduced mobility, dependency on medical technology,
impaired vision or hearing, or fragile age.
INDIVIDUAUFAMIL Y RESPONSIBILITY TO PREPARE - Our strategy for meeting emergency
needs of vulnerable persons is to support individual/family responsibility for preparedness as the
primary level, adding progressive layers of neighborhood collaboration, care agencies, and
assistance groups. Should the need overwhelm our local capabilities, assistance can be
marshaled from the larger community.
SPECIAL NEEDS COORDINATION - A Special Needs Task Force of health care agencies,
service providers, adult care facilities, support groups, and individuals is established in the EOC
Community Operations Branch to coordinate emergency services to vulnerable persons.
THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BUSINESS COMMUNITY - Economic stability and recovery
following a major emergency depends largely on the level of preparedness of the business
community. Continuity of critical business functions, the protection of essential data, protection of
inventory, the welfare of the workforce, and partnership in the response and recovery effort, are
the objectives of our business and industry component.
COORDINATION OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY RECOVERY - A long term recovery group
will be established jointly by County and City leadership. Constituents of the recovery group will
be determined by the nature and scope of the impact.
SCHOOL EMERGENCY PLANS - There are four East Jefferson County public school districts
(Port Townsend District 50, Chimacum District 49, Quilcene District 48, and Brinnon District 46).
West Jefferson elementary students attend Queets-Clearwater School, other grades travel to
Forks schools (Quillayute Valley School District). All schools have Safe Schools Plans in

accordance with the requirements of the law2 There are some private independent and faith-
based schools that have varying degrees of emergency preparedness.
COORDINATION WITH SCHOOLS - Schools do not have an individual representative in the
Emergency Operations Center. Coordination with the school districts (a designated point of
contact) depends on the nature and scope of the incident. Default communication with local
schools is through EOC Liaison.
NON-GOVERNMENTAL AND VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS - The resources of NGO's are
an important part of the community response and recovery capability. They will be integrated
with the emergency management system to the extent possible.
ANIMAL EMERGENCY PLANS - Pets and iivestock can become victims of disaster. Although it
is an individual/family responsibility for having animal emergency plans, the emergency
management system takes an organized approach to support this. Procedures are in place for
animal rescue evacuation, expedient shelter and veterinary services, and mortality
management." The Jefferson County Disaster Animal Welfare Group (DAWG) is eslabiished as
the central coordinating organization, coordinated through the Community Operations Branch in
the EOC.
UNMET NEEDS - It is challenging to foresee all the possible needs of our citizens impacted by a
disaster. For this purpose an Unmet Needs capability can be activated in the EOC Community
Operations Branch to identify and consider solutions for unique emergency needs for which there
is no obvious solution. The Unmet Needs Unit will make maximum use of private sector
community resources as well as non-traditional services.

Government Operations and Administration
April 15, 2009
GovERNMENT LEADERSHIP - The continuation of essential government operations under
emergency conditions is expected by our citizens. Some elements of services -law
enforcement, fire/EMS, emergency management, public health, etc. - become even more
essential. Sustained government services are vital to economic stability and recovery. Some
constitutional requirements - for instance some responsibilities of the criminal court system -
cannot be suspended.
Rallying community response, marshaling resources, meeting emergency needs, and reacting to
the crisis at hand, while sustaining or restoring critical government operations, is a major
leadership challenge,
COUNTY ORGANIZATION - Legislative responsibility for county government is vested in the
three-person Board of Jefferson County Commissioners. Constitutional offices consist of Clerk of
the Court, Prosecutor, Sheriff, and the Judiciary. The Statutory offices are Assessor, Treasurer,
and Auditor.
The Jefferson County Administrator is an appointed official who serves as the Chief Executive
Officer for the County, and is responsible for carrying out all decisions, directives, policies,
ordinances and resolutions made by the Board of County Commissioners. Administrative
departments, under the County Administrator, include Central Services, Public Health, Public
Works, Community Development, WSU Cooperative Extension, and Emergency Management.
CITY ORGANIZATION - The legislative responsibility for city government is assigned to a seven-
member City Council. The executive authority is vested in the City Manager (appointed by the
City Council). City departments are: Administration (City Attorney, City Clerk), Development
Services, Finance, Library, Public Works (Engineering, Parks, Streets and Utilities), and Police.
The City Manager is responsible for Emergency Management in the City, and executes that duty
through the interlocal agreement for Emergency Management.
ESTABLISHMENT OF AN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT - The requirements of Chapter 38.52,
Revised Code of Washington. are fulfilled by the establishment of a Department of Emergency
Management in the County and an interlocal agreement for Emergency Management services by
that department to the City of Port Townsend. This plan is a part of that requirement.
USE OF COUNTY AND CITY PERSONNEL AND SERVICES IN AN EMERGENCY - County
and City personnel, services, and equipment are a part of the local emergency management
system. Washington State law directs the heads of governments to utilize those assets, along
with those of the other municipal corporations and special districts, to the "maximum extent
practicable". \ It is the responsibility of the Department of Emergency Management t6 assist them
in developing the internal procedures necessary for execution of their emergency duties as
identified in this plan.

LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT - The City Council and the Board
of County Commissioners provide emergency legislative support to the Emergency Management
program in an emergency. Such support includes declarations of emergency and special
emergency measures needed to meet emergency needs.
EMERGENCY POWERS - The law provides certain unique powers to the heads of local
government in the event of an emergency. Such powers may be enacted when an emergency or
disaster occurs that demands immediate action to preserve public health, protect life and public
property. and provide relief to the stricken community'> In carrying out this plan the Board of
County Commissioners and/or the City Council may exercise those powers without regard to the
time-consuming procedures and formalities prescribed by law (except mandatory constitutional
requirements) including (but not limited to)3:
. Budget law limitations
. Requirements of competitive bidding
. Publication of notices
. Provisions pertaining to the performance of public works
. Entering into contracts
. Incurring obligations
. Employment of temporary workers
. Rental of equipment
. Purchase of supplies and materials
. Levying of taxes
. Appropriation and expenditure of public funds
The activation of these emergency powers is contingent upon a formal Declaration of Emergency
by a majority vote of the Board of County Commissioners or the City Council (for City-only
emergencies). In all cases, the test of prudence and best value in the execution of emergency
procurement will be observed whenever such diligence does not interfere with the immediate
response to life safety.
DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY - A local declaration of emergency activates the emergency
powers described above. and is the prerequisite for requesting state and federal assistance in a
major emergency. Such declaration is made by the county or city legislative body by adoption of
an ordinance or resolution. A city declaration/resolution is made under RCW 35.33,081 whereas
a county declaration is covered by RCW 36.40.180. A joint resolution can be made under RCW
38.52,070(2)4 For regional emergencies, a Declaration of Emergency made by the Board of
County Commissioners covers both the County and the City for purposes of activation of this
plan.
ALTERNATE LOCATION FOR THE CONDUCT OF PUBLIC BUSINESS - The emergency
affairs of the county or city can be conducted in an alternate place for the duration of the
emergency provided reasonable effort is made to notify the public of the emergency relocation,

RESPONSIBILITY FOR COST TRACKING - All county and city offices and departments, along
with municipal and quasi-municipal corporations. special districts organized under the laws of the
state of Washington, are responsible for tracking incident-related costs. Cost recuperation, if any,
will hinge on the type and detail of extraordinary expenditures directly related to the execution of
this plan. Should the Stafford Act, or any other similar reimbursement mechanism, be
implemented, each entity is responsible for filing for cost recovery.
CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT - The law provides the authority for identification of a
succession of powers in an emergency5 The Board of County Commissioners and the City
Council have adopted resolutions defining how their powers and duties will be uninterrupted. In
addition, each department or office will designate a line of succession for the discharge of
emergency actions in the event the incumbent office holder or department head is unavailable.
The available responsible person shall have full authority of the incurnbent office holder or

Attachment 1.8.3
Disaster Roles of County/City offices and departments, and public
sector and private sector partner agencies and organizations
All county and city government personnel, services, equipment and facilities become part of the
emergency management system as needed in carrying out the requirements of this plan according to the
law. Most assignments mirror daily operations; some require a local declaration of emergency to
expedite.
Emergency activities of local government offices and departments are coordinated by the EOC
Incident Management Team until demobilized when the emergency is over. Post disaster activities are
coordinated by the Joint County - City Long Term Recovery Group.
Numerous other government agencies, special districts, quasi-municipal corporations, non-
governmental organizations. and private sector entities cooperate and coordinate with the Emergency
Management program through various formal and informal mechanisms. Each of these partners retains
their internal structure and responsibilities, while collaborating where possible with the community
response effort.
State and federal agencies with local ties may opt to coordinate locally to the extent possible,
while remaining within the overall responsibility of their parent organization. Many of our other partners
cooperate where they can, while focusing on their individual responsibilities.

Attachment 1.8.4
Coordinating Agency
A lead coordinating agency is identified for each hazard category.' The support
agencies are those most likely to have a major role, but does not exclude other participation.
Strategy and overall coordination of larger scope incidents (earthquake, storms, etc.) is
typically the role of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Specific hazards have clear lead
agencies, and the EOC will provide support if requested.
All jurisdictions and agencies retain their internal command authority, and recognize the
coordination role of the EOC Incident Management Team. Each participating agency has
representation or a designated point of contact in the EOC.
Unified Command may be established at the EOC when the command function affects
multiple jurisdictions. Some hazards are best handled by the designated command
agency/Unified Command at the scene.

Cross Reference to
State and Federal Plans (ESF Format)
The National Response Framework uses the Emergency Support Function (ESF)
format. State plans are also keyed to ESFs. Smaller jurisdictions with limited resources can
adopt other formats, provided there is a cross reference to the ESF scheme.
The ESF arrangement in the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is
