<br />Klttitas County Sherilf s Olfice
<br />AMOUNT 9it5,0tl3
<br />il nvestment,#1 : WA SHSP Sustalnment
<br />The State is divided into 9 Homeland Security Regions, made up of 39 counties, which differ in many respects lncluding geography (from
<br />marine to desert), major lndustry (from large business to agricuhural), and population (from dense urban settings to rural areasl. Each
<br />Reglon develops prdects to address thelr speclflc rlsks and hazards whlch sustaln prevlously built capabllltles or close ldentifled gaps.
<br />Whlle the communltles may dlffer, emergency managemenl prioritles are slmllar across the state and most lnltlatives can be tled back to
<br />building regional capabillty to respond and recover, and be in a state of readinecs thrcugh plannin6, training, equlpping, and exercising,
<br />should a natural or human-caused catastrophic irrident occur. As communicated in the 2018 and confirmed in the 2019 THIRA"
<br />Capabilities Estimation, ard SPR, gaps have been identified in the following core capabilities.
<br />Alt iurisdictions have targeted efforts related to Operational Coordination. The foremost gaps are:
<br />1) PLANNING: Plans lack horirontal and rrcrtical integration and need adjusting to be scalable for use during a catasirophic incident.
<br />Recovery needs to be incorporated.
<br />2l ORGANIZATION: Response and recovery to catastrophlc incidents will require additional trained personnel to support either large.scale
<br />or long-term activations.
<br />3) EQUIPMENT: There is a lack of integration and interoperability of tools to form a Common Operating picture for all stakeholders.
<br />Addltlonally, equlpment contlnues to ate, wlth subsequent degradatlon occurrlng wlth routine usage, and there ls a lack of fundlng to
<br />rnaintain and/or replace,
<br />Resilienry is still an evolving concept without a formalized statewide, whole cornmunity approach to focus efforts. While the State is
<br />lntroduclng lnltlatives to combat that reallty, localJurisdlctlons still struggle wlth gaps related to Communlty Reslllence:
<br />1!TRAINING: lndividuals and businesses need to move from awareness to action,
<br />2) EXERCISE; Communities are dependent on volunteers to exercise this capabllity and do not have the tools or expertise to engage
<br />stakeholders.
<br />Related to Resilience, iurisdictlons recognire the need to communicate with all stakeholders and continue to expand the reach of their
<br />messaginS. lnitiatives are ongoing to address the ldentified Public rnformation and Warning gap related to
<br />1f PtANNING: Plans do not fully address communicating with non-tnglish speaking populations, irnmlgrant groups, and individuals with
<br />dlsabllltles.
<br />PROJECT#1 Reglon 7 Homeland Secudtl prclecr. (lnvestment 1, proJea 7)
<br />Reglon 7 wlll address prlorities based on reglonally ldentified gaps. The reglon ls chaltenged by the lack of fundlng to adequately plan, traln
<br />and exercise for a terrorist attack. Specifically, fre region will focus on sustaining and enhancing capabilities, which include: Comrnunity
<br />Resillence to rnaintain the ability to communlcate with citizens during an ernergent terrorist threa! Operational Communications due to
<br />lack of EOC coordination, lack of up to date equipment and coordination with firsl responders, lnterdiction and Disruption to train and
<br />equlp special teams, Planning to coordinate response, Risk Managernent for Protection Prograrns and Activities to enhance screening and
<br />surveillance during events, Access ControulD Verification to enhance security at critical facilirles, publlc Alert and Warning due to lack of
<br />fundlng for alert and warnlng system, Operatlonal Coordlnatlon to enhance EOC speclfic tralnlng, and Screenlng, Search and Detection to
<br />enhance public safety during large public events. To address capability gaps and sustain current capabilities the region will be investing in
<br />ortanitation, planning, equipmen! lraining, and exercise. Activities will include: Community Resilience: Enhance whole community
<br />preparedness, conduct public education Operational Communications: Purchase equipment to enhance EOC and mobile incident
<br />command, coordlnate wlth llrst responders durlng iarge gatherlngs/events, provlde EOC speclfic tralnlng Publlc lnformation and Warnlng:
<br />Renew alert and warning systems contracts to tnaintain publc outreach and communications, updale outdated communications equiprnent
<br />to maintain lnteroperability lnterdiction and Disruption: Purchase equipment for speclal teams, continue to provide updated training ard
<br />equipment for special teams Planning: Review and update emergency plans Risk Management for Protectlon programs and Astivities:
<br />Sponsor annual rlsk management and communlty protecllon trainlng Access Control/lD Verlflcatlon: Provlde a safe envlronment for those
<br />accessing critical infrastructure lacilities Screening, Search, and Detection: Enhance public safety during events rhror,rgh screening
<br />surveillance and detectlon for large groups The fundir6 priorities will support the region in their effort to focus on addressing identified
<br />capability gaps related to emergent terrorist related risks wh:ch will enhance capabrlities to bolster terrorism recognition and awareness by
<br />detectlng, ldentlfylng, lnterdlctlng and recovering from a terrortst attack.
