All jurisdictions have targeted efforts related to Operational Coordination. The foremost gaps are: <br />1) PLANNING: Plans lack horizontal and vertical integration and need adjusting to be <br />scalable for use during a catastrophic incident. Recovery needs to be incorporated. <br />2) ORGANIZATION: Response and recovery to catastrophic incidents will require additional trained personnel to <br />support either large-scale 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 <br />stakeholders. Additionally, equipment continues to age, with subsequent degradation occurring with routine usage, <br />and there is a lack of funding to sustain and/or replace. <br />Resiliency is still an evolving concept without a formalized statewide, whole community approach to focus efforts. <br />While the State is introducing initiatives to combat that reality, local jurisdictions still struggle with gaps related to <br />Community Resilience: <br />1) TRAINING: Individuals and businesses need to move from awareness to action. <br />2) EXERCISE: Communities are dependent on volunteers to exercise this capability and do not have the tools or <br />expertise to engage stakeholders. <br />Related to Resilience, jurisdictions recognize the need to communicate with all stakeholders and continue to expand <br />the reach of their messaging. Initiatives are ongoing to address the identified Public Information and Warning gap <br />related to: <br />1) PLANNING: Plans do not fully address communicating with non-English speaking populations, Immigrant groups, and <br />Individuals with disabilities. <br />Regional Hazards and Risks - Reasons for the Work <br />Terrorlsttarpe s Include: <br />• Hydroelectric fadllttes — <br />• Transportation <br />• Public Events <br />• Industry <br />Odmaru all -hazard eklm Includar <br />• Wlldlend Fires <br />• Landslides <br />• Floods <br />• Winter Storms <br />• Wind Storms <br />• Earthquakes _- <br />• Pandemic dxidents-•-•- <br />DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FFY18 Page 34 of 37 Kittitas, County of, E22-187 <br />
