CHAPTER 9. FIRE DISTRICT #51 ANNEX <br />3 <br />– Federal and state occupational safety and labor-and-industry mandates <br />– Firewise programs within the County supported by Kittitas County Conservation District, <br />Washington Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Forest Service, and the fire districts. <br />– Kittitas County Community Wildfire Protection Plan <br />9.6. CLASSIFICATION IN HAZARD MITIGATION PROGRAMS <br />The jurisdiction’s classifications under various hazard mitigation programs are presented in Table 9-3. <br />9.7. HAZARD MITIGATION ACTION PLAN AND EVALUATION OF <br />RECOMMENDED INITIATIVES <br />Table 9-4 lists the initiatives that make up the jurisdiction’s hazard mitigation plan. Table 9-5 identifies the <br />priority for each initiative. Table 9-6 summarizes the mitigation initiatives by hazard of concern and the six <br />mitigation types. <br />9.8. FUTURE NEEDS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND <br />RISK/VULNERABILITY <br />The District’s service area is extremely vulnerable to avalanche events that could isolate the area or cause <br />a large population to become trapped in the area. The other major concern is failure of the dam on either <br />Lake Keechelus or Lake Kachess, which would cause a major flooding event and potentially isolate portions <br />of the district. There there is only one facilities within the District that could serve as a command post or <br />emergency shelter if a major hazard incident were to occur. Station 291 has an emergency diesel generator <br />and can serve as an incident command post, EOC and an emergency shelter. <br /> <br />
