Therefore, effective resource management includes leveraging each jurisdiction's resources, engaging private sector resources, involving volunteer organizations, and encouraging further development of mutual aid agreements. Kittitas County holds contracts with the Kittitas County Event Center, 907 E. 7th Ave in Ellensburg, and the Upper Kittitas County Senior Centennial Center, 719 E.3'd St. in Cle Elum, as resources for shelters in case of emergency. A. Resource Typing Resource typing is defining and categorizing incident resources by capability. Resource typing definitions establish a common language for discussing resources by defining minimum capabilities for personnel, teams, facilities, equipment, and supplies. Resource typing enables communities to plan for, request, and have confidence that the resources they receive have the capabilities they requested. FEMA leads the development and maintenance of resource typing definitions for resources shared on a local, interstate, regional, or national scale. Jurisdictions can use these definitions to categorize local assets. 41.
