Resource Gaps <br />Comprehensive and integrated planning can help other levels of government plan their <br />response to an incident within a jurisdiction. By knowing the extent of the jurisdiction's <br />capability, supporting planners can pre-identify shortfalls and develop pre-scripted resource <br />requests. <br />ln a major event the resources within the county will be ovenruhelmed and outside assistance <br />will need to be requested. Such requests will be made through the County EOC to the SEOC <br />(WA State Emergency Operations Center). <br />XI. DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE <br />A. Core Ptanning and DevelopmentTeam <br />This Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is required by law and is the basis for an <br />integrated system of emergency management in Kittitas County, in accordance with the <br />requirements of RCW 38.52 and WAC 118. This plan is the documentation of the planning <br />process and as such needs to be a product of that process, and it is essential this be <br />accomplished with the input and cooperation of all participants. <br />41. Ptanning Process <br />Planning is a continuous process that does not stop when the plan is published. The <br />planning team develops a rough draft of the basic plan or annexes. As the planning <br />team works through successive drafts, they add necessary tables, charts, and other <br />graphics. The team prepares a final draft and circulates it for comment to organizations <br />that have responsibilities for implementing the plan. The written plan should be checked <br />for its conformity to applicable regulatory requirements and the standards of Federal or <br />state agencies and for its usefulness in practice. Once validated, the planning team <br />presents the plan to the appropriate officials for signature and promulgation. The <br />promulgation process should be based on specific statute, law, or ordinance. Once <br />approved, the planner should arrange to distribute the plan to stakeholders who have <br />roles in implementing the plan. <br />42. Review Process <br />Commonly used criteria can help decision makers determine the effectiveness and <br />efficiency of plans. These measures include adequacy, feasibility, and acceptability. <br />Decision makers directly involved in planning can employ these criteria, along with their <br />understanding of plan requirements, not only to determine a plan's effectiveness and <br />efficiency but also to assess risks and define costs. <br />November 2024 | BASIC PLAN Page 55 of 63
