DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FFY 15 Page 25 of 30 Kittitas, County of, E16-157 Program Area #3 Infrastructure hardening, security system upgrade OBJECTIVE The Kittitas County has installed 58 cameras throughout the courthouse and other county government buildings. The video capacity has slowed down the server system through the county. New equipment will move the 58 cameras and the video recording and house it on its own server. This will allow a standalone system that is better equipped to handle the massive contents of the video cameras and recording information. This project will increase the safety and security of critical government buildings, employees and private citizens conducting government business. The system will allow quicker response to threats in county buildings, which is of benefit to everyone using the county courthouse. Emergency Management Function: Facilities Performance Measure(s) that will be used to evaluate the program area Target (intended outcome) Measurement (how to tell if success has been achieved) Update County surveillance system by installing a new video server allowing for faster reaction and response to threats from the courthouse security personnel that monitor the cameras. This will better protect civilians conducting government business and county employees from threats. Update the surveillance security server. Quicker camera refresh rate, better viewing for courthouse security.

This assessment will be attached to the CEMP to help with future incidents or events. The process will also identify potential mitigation projects and training needs to better prepare the citizens of Kittitas County to become more resilient. Emergency Management Function: Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Consequence Analysis Performance Measure(s) that will be used to evaluate the program area Target (intended outcome) Measurement (how to tell if success has been achieved) KCEM will update the county CEMP to include a new THIRA.

This exercise will simulate a plane crash that produces a mass casualty incident (MCI). This will take place on April 22, 2016, and will be combined with the Hospital Region 7 Alternative Care Facility (ACF) exercise. We will evaluate first responder's response to an MCI at the airport, the Kittitas Valley Hospital on their response to the MCI, and the county coroner's office (new county coroner) on mass fatality.
