Attachment D <br />WORK PLAN <br />FY 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant <br />The purpose of this attachment is to identify the activities planned by the Subrecipient under this Grant <br />Agreement, funded by EMPG and required match funding, and subsequently approved as allowable under <br />EMPG by the EMPG Program Manager. <br />AEmergency Management Organization I<ittitas County Sheriff's Office <br />PROJECT #1 TITLE FLevel 3 dfire Evacuation Road Barriers with Signs WilT <br />PROJECT' DESCRIPTION <br />_ . _ _.._ - _ _ ___.._ _ _ ...__ _.._ .._. -- <br />This project will fund the purchase and deployment of durable, high -visibility Level 3 wildfire evacuation road closure <br />barriers with signage that can be quickly deployed at strategic roadway access points during wildfire incidents to halt <br />pedestrian or vehicle -borne traffic. The signs and barriers will clearly indicate that a roadway is closed due to Level 3 <br />evacuation orders and active fire operations, helping prevent unauthorized entry into hazardous areas. The signs and <br />barriers will be designed to be easily readable from a distance, reflective for nighttime visibility, and portable so that <br />first responders can rapidly install them as evacuation zones expand or shift. <br />OUTCOME <br />e desired outcome of the project is to increase public awareness and compliance with evacuation orders, reducing <br />the likelihood of residents or visitors attempting to travel into active fire zones. By clearly marking closed roads, these <br />barriers with signs will also enhance first responder safety, allowing firefighters, law enforcement, and emergency <br />personnel to focus on evacuation operations and fire suppression rather than repeatedly redirecting traffic. <br />DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 41 of 44 Kittitas County, E25-254 <br />
