89 KCPHD would need to provide a source of power to keep vaccines refrigerated in the event of a power outage, or if vaccines needed to move offsite because of an emergency incident. If KCPHD does not have power or equipment failure, vaccine will be stored at Kittitas Valley Healthcare via an interlocal agreement. V. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS: KCPHD will be notified of an alternate work location via EM or BOCC In the event that electronic capabilities are unavailable, hard copies of records will be taken and uploaded at a later date when electronic capabilities have been restored. Hard copies are already kept and stored for essential services provided by the Kittitas County Public Health Department. If electronic capabilities are available either by VPN or through regular means, financial transactions will be conducted as usual. If electronic capabilities are not available, cash and check may be accepted, and hand written receipts will be issued. Vaccines can be transported via portable plug-in refrigeration units that can be powered by an external battery. To-go kits or “Go Box” items will consist of necessary paperwork to conduct essential services, pens, pencils, highlighters, rubber bands, rubber gloves, bungee cords, stapler, post-it notes, tape, binder clips, printer paper, power inverter, size D batteries, rubber stamp, and phone and message books. They are located at the front desk area of the KCPHD office. VI. SUCCESION PLAN: In the absence of the KCPHD Administrator, delegation of authority within KCPHD has been determined below specific to function and assigned personnel in order to continue the performance of critical functions. Ultimate delegation of authority resides with the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). If BOCC is absent, then delegation of authority would follow the Kittitas County plan via Emergency Management.
