Attachment D WORK PLAN FY 2021 Emergency Management Performance Grant- American Rescue Plan Act Emergency Maniagement Organization: Kittitas County Sheriffs Office The purpose of EMPG-ABPA is to assist with the enhancement, sustainment and improvement of state, local, and tribal emergency management programs. Activities conducted using EMPG-ARPA funding should relate directly to the five elements of emergency management- prevention, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. Washington State does not require a specific number of activities to receive EMPG-ARPA funding. However, there are required capabilities that must be sustained in order to remain eligible for EMPG ARPA funding, including but not limited to the ability to communicate and warn, educate the public, plan, train, exercise, and be NIMS compliant. The Work Plan delineates the Emergency Management Organization's emergency management program planning and priority focus for this grant cycle (to include EMPG grant and local funds). 4.5 Incident Management Primary Core Capability Environmental Response/Health and Safety Secondary Core Capability Mass Search and Rescue Operations Build or Sustain Building WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED Purchase Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and system (AEL 030E-07�SUAS) Purchase a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) trailer (AEL 12TR-00-TECIP) The UAVs will be used in training, response to Search and Rescue Operations, Tactical Operations, and Natural Hazard response to include flooding and wildland fires. This program will be continuing throughout the years to better respond to Emergency Management (EM) incidents or events. The county identified a gap in response times and needs a UTV trailer for quicker response to remote areas or areas where normal vehicles can't operate (e.g., where flooding has occurred). A UTV cannot legally be driven from the office to a crisis site and the county does not currently have a trailer to haul the UTV to response sites. ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT The establishment of the EM M drone program will greatly enhance response to hazards and threats in a quicker more efficient and effective manner. EM will be able to assess and allocate resources more effectively. The county will be able to use the trailer to haul/deploy the UTV to crisis sites, allowing for quicker response. • • 4.7 Communications and Warning Primary Core Capability Operational Communications Build or Sustain Sustaining/Maintaining WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT - Purchase portable radio The AAR from Cascadia realized the need Strengthen communication equipment and batteries. for RACES teams to be able to send capabilities in the command posts - Purchase RACES radio equipment "packet" information.
