Gordon, Director The Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management sincerely appreciates the cooperation and support from those agencies, departments, and local jurisdictions that 018 057 have contributed to the revision and publication of the 2015 Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). Coordination of the Plan represents a committed and concerted effort by county/city agencies and local jurisdictions to emergency management. The Plan demonstrates the ability of a large number of agencies to work together to achieve a common goal. KITSAP COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT The CEMP was revised through the synergistic effort of many agencies ies in Kitsap gg p COUNCIL - 2015 County. A major revision to the CEMP is the integration of the 4 Cities and County CEMPs into one document representing a common strategic plan to mitigate, prepare, Kitsap County respond and recover from disasters in Kitsap County. This represents a holistic Commissioner approach to a multi -agency and common picture response for the protection of the Edward E. Wolfe, Dist. 3 citizens of Kitsap. The Department of Emergency Management coordinated with Council Vice -Chair many groups to provide a forum for those with identified responsibilities in the CEMP. They participated in planning and coordinating emergency management City of Bainbridge activities in order to identify, develop, maintain, and enhance county emergency Island management capabilities. Representative Anne Blair The CEMP is one of the many efforts to prepare all people in Kitsap County for City of Bremerton emergencies or disasters.

It is designed to provide an overall approach to emergency response and recovery and the collaboration of County and City governments and support agencies to provide essential measures to preserve life and protect citizens from disasters. The plan is based on providing a well-rounded ongoing program for emergency prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery activities and to encourage citizens, governments, business, and other organizations to prepare for disasters. It is an all -hazards plan for all types of hazards and to cover the geographic area of Kitsap County. CEMP 2015 provides information for County/City Governments to prepare themselves to respond to disasters using a systematic response network and a comprehensive training and exercise program to insure local responders including City/County employees are prepared to respond to emergencies, support ongoing Emergency Operation Center (EOC) activities and provide a safe and secure environment for its citizens. CEMP 2015 is a product of the coordinated planning efforts between the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management, County Departments, emergency management representatives from selected political jurisdictions, and selected private and volunteer sector interests. It meets the requirements of RCW 38.52, WAC 118-30, FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide CPG-101 and the Washington State Emergency Management Division's Comprehensive Emergency Management Supplemental Planning Guide, and FEMA's guidance on the National Response Framework and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliance. The Kitsap County CEMP 2015 is organized in three parts: A. The Basic Plan and Appendices. The Basic Plan outlines the disaster missions and responsibilities of County and City Governments, branches and departments. It also incorporates the Direction and Control appendix from the previous Kitsap County CEMP in an effort to consolidate and streamline the critical information needed for an incident. The Appendices to the Basic Plan include a variety of topics such as terms and definitions, acronyms and abbreviations, legal authorities, and training requirements. B. Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) describe the policies, situation, planning assumptions, concept of operations, and responsibilities for each ESF for Kitsap County/City Governments and agencies. u Kitsap &ftar W@sQWJ§ Comprehensive Emergency Managefiiishi A Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo D. Support Annexes are plans that define strategies for planning and managing emergency management core functions and delineate specific instruction, roles and responsibilities, and concepts of operations for responsible agencies. The annexes are: A. Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan B. Emergency Operations Plans C. Terrorism Plan D. Disaster Recovery Plan E. Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan (under development) F. Animal Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan G. Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) for Hazardous Materials Events H. Vulnerable Population Plan These plans are revised and promulgated separately from this plan and play an important role in defining specific agencies and procedures for responding successfully to these important functional areas. The CEMP has been significantly revised in 2015 to consolidate the Kitsap County CEMP 2010 with the CEMPs of the cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Poulsbo, and Port Orchard. Kitsap Department of Emergency Management is governed by an Interlocal Agreement with each of these entities to provide day-to-day emergency management services as well as support mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery activities to the entire County. As such, one consolidated CEMP brought all jurisdictions under one Emergency Management umbrella designed to incorporate them into a collaborative process and streamline consistent approach to emergency management principles and services. To support strategic and tactical support of emergency management, along with this new CEMP, each jurisdiction will have an updated Emergency Operations Plan that will define details such as specific roles and responsibilities or facilities for emergency response based on strategies outlined in CEMP 2015. This CEMP includes numerous revisions: • Reformatted for consistency, new maps and other exhibits • Updated information based on revised Hazard Identification and Assessment 2015 • The incorporation of cities authority, roles and responsibilities • Revised information on the role and responsibility of Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management • Revised organizational charts for Emergency Management day -to day and EOC operations • Major revision to "Concept of Operations" • Revised "Roles and Responsibilities" • Revised "Training, Exercises and Credentialing" • New section on "Plan Maintenance" • Overhaul of all Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) vi Kitsap &fl a'rw@sQwlfi Comprehensive Emergency Manage&SNW A Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo CEMP 2015 will improve the capability of Kitsap County and its Cities to understand the holistic approach to a county -wide response using the same concepts and principles for successful in disaster response and recovery that will minimize loss of life, stabilize events quickly, and reduce long term recovery efforts. Pursuant to Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Poulsbo, and Port Orchard Codes and Ordinances for Emergency Management, and RCW 38.52, this CEMP is set forth and each Government and its departments and those agencies with roles outlined in the document, is directed to be knowledgeable of its contents and be prepared to respond and/or support response efforts when called upon. The Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management and at the direction of the Emergency Management Council, will annually test the plan through planned training and exercises, conduct period plan maintenance, and continue to coordinate revisions recommended by stakeholders. vii Kitsap Qdtjq'rw@sQ%t1fi Comprehensive Emergency Manage&FS$WA Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo This Page Left Blank Intentionally Kitsap (Qdfj?rW@sg%l§ Comprehensive Emergency ManageiE10 t1 t A Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) July 2015 Table of Contents PromulgationLetter................................................................................................. iii ExecutiveSummary...................................................................................................v Recordof Changes................................................................................................... xi Record of Distribution........................................................................................... xiii BasicPlan...................................................................................................................1 Section I: General Information.............................................................................................. 1 Section II: Planning Assumptions and Considerations........................................................ 11 Section III: Concept of Operations...................................................................................... 13 Section IV: Roles and Responsibilities................................................................................. 20 Section V: Emergency Response: An Overview................................................................. 26 Section VI: Emergency Preparedness: Training, Exercises, and Credentialing ................... 31 Section VII: Plan Maintenance............................................................................................. 36 Appendix1.............................................................................................................1-1 HIVA2015 Abstract...........................................................................................................1-1 Appendix2............................................................................................................. 2-1 Codes and Regulations References...................................................................................... 2-1 Kitsap County and City Codes and Ordinances...................................................................2-1 State Laws and Regulations.................................................................................................2-1 United States Governing Statutes........................................................................................ 2-2 Appendix3............................................................................................................. 3-1 PlanReferences....................................................................................................................3-1 KitsapCounty...................................................................................................................... 3-1 Stateof Washington.............................................................................................................3-1 Federal.................................................................................................................................. 3-2 ix Kitsap (90f�?RWgsQWI§ Comprehensive Emergency ManagefghiWtA Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Appendix4.............................................................................................................4-1 Directionand Control..........................................................................................................4-1 Appendix5............................................................................................................. 5-1 ACRONYMNS.................................................................................................................... 5-1 Appendix6............................................................................................................. 6-1 GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS........................................................................................... 6-1 EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION 91 .....................................................

It is designed to provide an overall approach to emergency response and recovery and the collaboration of County and City governments and support agencies to provide essential measures to preserve life and protect citizens from disasters. The plan is based on providing a well-rounded ongoing program for emergency prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery activities and to encourage citizens, governments, business, and other organizations to prepare for disasters. It is an all -hazards plan for all types of hazards and to cover the geographic area of Kitsap County. A. Mission It is the policy of the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) and its four incorporated cities, in order to protect lives, property, environment, and economic base of the community and in cooperation with other public and private organizations of the community, to endeavor to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from all natural, man-made, technological emergencies and disasters. To carry out the mission, the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) goals are to develop citizen awareness and self-sufficiency, develop responder capabilities, have procedures in an emergency or disaster, and create an atmosphere of interagency cooperation in emergency and disaster operations. DEM is responsible for developing and managing a framework for emergency preparedness, response and recovery of the County and incorporated Cities and minimize the effects of disasters. The framework includes the roles and responsibilities of Kitsap County Governments and other agencies to work together in a homogenous response for the good of the citizens of Kitsap. CEMP 2015 is now a document that brings County governments together under one plan with the same focus and strategy to protect the public from harm and provide a system for managing an emergency/disaster in Kitsap County. B. Purpose The purpose of the Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is to provide a framework for the emergency management principles and the function and responsibilities of DEM and County/City Governments. This plan considers the concept of emergency management functions of preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation strategies for the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of emergency services. It defines primary and secondary roles of Governments during Effective July 1, 2015 Ordinance 005-16 Kitsap Co ' Abington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo and after emergencies and the support roles of a variety of agencies, service groups, volunteers, and faith -based organizations, to provide assistance to the citizens of Kitsap. The CEMP is a strategic plan with many supporting plans, operating procedures and related documents. It is not the intent of this document to encompass all of these additional plans, but will provide reference information in support of emergency management. Throughout this plan, the term "City/County" refers to the four incorporated cities, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard, and Poulsbo; and unincorporated Kitsap County. Each of the cities and county retain their own jurisdictional rights imposed by city and county charters and Washington State law, but recognize a common approach to all phases of emergency management. Kitsap County Emergency Management, through an inter -local agreement, has established an Emergency Management Council, to provide direction, control and oversight of the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management. As noted below, each government will have an Emergency Operating Plan (EOP) specifically defining the role of their government in disaster response and recovery operations. C. Plan Design This plan is designed based on FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 and in accordance with Washington law referenced in this document. As such, an "Emergency Support Function Emergency Operating Plan" (EOP) format, with some exceptions, are used to meet the needs of Kitsap County. There are four main sections that compose the plan: the Base Plan and Appendices, the Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), and the Incident Annexes. Section VII provides additional information on plan development and maintenance. The Kitsap County CEMP is the umbrella document for all other plans associated with County Emergency Management. The Plan is broken down as follows: 1. Base Plan and Appendices The base plan delineates the application of emergency operations as it applies to incidents in Kitsap County, including the general role and responsibilities of the County and cities in disasters. It includes a synopsis of the hazards faced by citizens in the County; a discussion of the needs and capabilities in handling those hazards; and an overview of the county's emergency management structure. Appendices are added to expand on information, provide supporting data, or a glossary of definitions and acronyms. 2 Ordinance 005-16 Kitsap Co! Abington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 2. Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) The ESFs provide the structure for coordinating interagency support for local, then later, state and federal response to an incident. They are mechanisms for grouping functions most frequently used to provide support to responders and the citizens of Kitsap. The Incident Command System provides for the flexibility to assign ESFs and other stakeholder resources according to their capabilities, tasking, and requirements to augment and support local response systems. Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) break down fifteen individual functional areas of specific roles and responsibilities during emergencies. They also describe policies, procedures, responsibilities and other planning documents to support actions for functional area response and recovery. Kitsap County ESFs utilize those ESFs outlined in FEMA's National Response Network and others associated with Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. 3. Support Annexes Support Annexes are strategic plans that define specific requirements and actions necessary to respond to and manage specific core mitigation, response and recovery functions in Kitsap County. They include such plans for vulnerable populations, recovery, terrorism, and hazardous materials, to name a few. A comprehensive chart Exhibit I-1 is provided that delineates the relationships among plans and operating procedures for Kitsap County that fall under the umbrella of the CEMP and define the emergency management program . Kitsap County operates in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and is an all -hazards planner. NIMS provide the structure and mechanism for policy and operational coordination for incident management. Consistent with the model provided in the National Response Framework (NRF) and NIMS, the CEMP can be partially or fully implemented in the context of a threat, or anticipation of a response to a significant incident or event. Selective implementation through the activation of one or more of the Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) or Annexes allows maximum flexibility in responding to and recovering from an incident, meeting the unique operational and information -sharing requirements of the situation at hand, and enabling effective interaction between various county and non -county entities. This plan will facilitate restoration of basic county government operations and services following emergencies or disasters. lu j a6 CL At 5 N. .v, kA its -,j tA La I lip 4 -114 N m im m 43 Tu A 4N r u r -5 ; r- -v A call i 111 r IP R Fl11 "; it ir U, E-; A �r) Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Scope CEMP 2015 considers that emergencies and disasters are likely to occur as described and assessed in the Kitsap County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) 2015 and describes: Functions and activities necessary to implement the five phases of emergency management — prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Responsibilities in relation to Kitsap County Code title 2.104, Chapter RCW 38.52, Public Law 93-288, as amended and other applicable laws as appropriate. Appendix (1) of the Basic Plan provides an extract on hazard vulnerability and assessments for Kitsap County. Further information can be found in Kitsap's HIVA 2015. Organization Emergency Management in Kitsap County is organized as shown in Exhibit I-2, Emergency Management Organizational Chart, and operates in accordance with RCW 38.54 and WAC 118 for routine and operational Emergency Operations. Under Kitsap County Code, Chapter 2.104, Emergency Management is responsible for all emergency management functions; to prevent, to mitigate, to prepare, to respond, and to recover from emergencies and disasters resulting from natural and technological hazards and terrorism events. Emergency Management provides services to each of the incorporated cities in Kitsap as well as their citizens to prepare for and response to emergencies. RCW 38.52, the Washington Emergency Management Act and Kitsap County Code, Chapter 2.104, empower local governmental entities to establish a program to deal with emergencies and specifically authorizes two or more entities to join together to establish such a program. In 1989 the Kitsap County Emergency Management Council was formed. All city and county governments are represented on the council as follows: one elected county commissioner, the Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, of Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo, and 1 City Council member representing the City of Bainbridge Island. The EMC delegate's authority to the Director to make decisions to mobilize resources to save lives, stabilizes the incident, and protects property. DEM is designated a "department" of Kitsap County reporting administratively to the County for personnel, budgeting, and administrative support. DEM is staffed Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After hours incidents are handled by an assigned DEM Duty Officer who is available 24 hours per day, seven days a week. During an emergency or disaster, the office Effective: July 1, 2015 6 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo assumes enhanced operations under the Incident Management System. This could include opening the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and to coordinate the activation of City EOCs, each at a level dependent on the severity of the event. CEMP 2015 also employs an Emergency Support Function (ESF) approach. This approach identifies sources for direct assistance and operational support through the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) that the county and its cities may need in order to address response and recovery from an emergency or disaster. The County EOC serves as a coordinating center for all hazard activity in the County. ESF establishment is not expected at the city level and instead, City representatives will be incorporated into the County EOC when ESFs are activated. This is a new policy change associated with the merger of the City and County CEMPs.

All mutual aid agreements and compacts will be entered into by duly authorized officials and will be formalized in writing whenever possible. Kitsap County is currently a signee to the Washington State Intrastate Mutual Aid System. Collaboration through aid agreements is essential in pre-empting a disaster with a holistic response by all responders in Kitsap. Kitsap County also is also a member of the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Coalition for planning and responding through a regional collaborative plan during catastrophic events. 3. Consumer Protection Consumer complaints pertaining to alleged unfair or illegal business practices will be referred to the State Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. 4. Limitations It is the policy of Kitsap County and the cities of Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo and Port Orchard that no guarantee is implied by this Plan of a perfect response system. As Kitsap County assets and systems may be overwhelmed, Kitsap County can only endeavor to make every reasonable effort to respond based on the situation, information and resources available at the time. 5. Nondiscrimination It is the policy of Kitsap County and the Cities of Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo and Port Orchard that no services will be denied on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or disability and no special treatment will be extended to any person or group in an emergency or disaster over and above what normally would be expected in the way of county and city services. Local activities pursuant to the Federal/State Agreement for Major Disaster Recovery will be carried out in accordance with Title 44, CFR, and Section 205.16 - Non-discrimination. Federal disaster assistance is conditional on full compliance with this rule.

Disaster Conditions and Hazards The Kitsap County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA), updated July 2015, provide information on potential hazards threatening Kitsap County. Disasters have occurred in Kitsap County and will occur again, some with warning and others with no warning at all. The purpose of the HIVA is to provide an evaluation of potential hazards for mitigation and preparedness priorities as well as defining strategic planning for the Department of Emergency Management. The plan rates potential hazards and assigns weights based on a hazard predictability, potential damage and loss of live, and costs to individuals and County Governments. Appendix (1) is an extract from the HIVA 2015 which summarizes hazards in Kitsap County. Using NIMS and a multi -agency response to emergencies, a system is in place to quickly assess emergencies, small and large, and provide an adequate response and recovery plan. B. Planning Assumptions The follow is a list of planning assumptions essential to planning processes and response and recover actions: • Some emergencies or disasters will occur with enough warning that appropriate notification will be issued to ensure some level of preparation. Other situations will occur with no advanced warning. • Kitsap County may be unable to satisfy all emergency resource requests during a major emergency or disaster. • Citizens, businesses, county and city departments, and industries need to provide for their own resources for the first seven days after an emergency or disaster. • Kitsap County and its cities will comply with the intent of RCW 38.52 and WAC 118, and will: o Establish procedures for continuity of government. o Prepare plans and procedures and maintain a comprehensive Emergency Management program. Effective: July 1, 2015 11 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo o Communicate with the State Emergency Management Division (EMD) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on the status of activities during or following any emergency or disaster. o Issue local emergency proclamations and request state assistance when appropriate. o Preserve essential records. Comprehensive response and recovery operations are based on an effective training and exercise program and the essential element of communication, coordination and command and control. These elements and the management principle of ICS will help to focus response and guide responders with the same priorities: save live, stabilize the event, and protect the environment and economy. C. Provisions of Government The county will endeavor to maintain essential services as soon as and as long as possible. Conditions may be of such magnitude and severity that some or all county services may be lost. The county will be unable to fulfill all emergency requests under these conditions. Setting of priorities will be necessary. D. Emergency Management Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) is the organizational structure for emergency response and recovery in Kitsap County. The Director of Emergency Management reports to the Kitsap County Emergency Management Council. The Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is the focal point for emergency management activities. The EMC authorizes the Director of Emergency Management and their successor to take appropriate actions to preserve life and stabilize the emergency to include activation of the EOC, use of County resources, and Emergency Declaration. E. Citizen Preparedness Policy Because of the nature of an emergency or disaster, government may be limited in its response capabilities. Community preparedness is an essential element of preparing for the next disaster. Collaboration among organizations in the County as well as its citizens to prepare for disasters will save lives and provide a network to help those in need of assistance. It is the policy of Kitsap County and its Cities that citizens are encouraged to be self-sufficient for at least seven (7) days should an emergency or disaster occurs. Seven days is based on a worst case disaster Effective: July 1, 2015 12 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo assumption with limited available resources and competing for resources provided by outside State and Federal response agencies. Section III: Concept of Operations The Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is the focal point of the emergency management organization in Kitsap County governments. Prior to a disaster, mitigation and preparedness activities are the responsibility of each county/city department and supporting agency with DEM providing support in these activities. During emergencies, the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) includes county department representatives as needed and selected representatives of other support agencies within the County. Those support agencies consist of volunteer organizations like the American Red Cross; incorporated cities, fire, police, public works, and special purpose districts and utilities. During significant events, liaison personnel from affected cities, Washington State and Federal agencies may be in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to provide expertise, information and authority.

Effective: July 1, 2015 13 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo The Kitsap County EOC utilizes the Incident Command System (ICS) to manage emergencies in the County. The County EOC is the coordination hub of a multi -agency coordination system (MACS) made up of city EOCs, CenCom (911), fire district Area Commands, and other agency coordination centers. A. Emergency Management Concepts Protection of human life, public property, the economy and environment are the primary concerns of county/city governments. Local governments are mandated by law, and special purpose jurisdictions are advised, to perform emergency management functions within their jurisdictional boundaries. Local governments may conduct functions outside identified territorial limits as required pursuant to RCW 38.52 as amended, current resolutions, ordinances, and mutual aid agreements. Normal day-to-day organizational structures and chains -of -command will be maintained insofar as possible in government and supporting organizations. The governments of Kitsap County and its employees, augmented by trained reservist, volunteers and appointed emergency management officials, will take all possible action to respond to the effects of a disaster and expedite response and recovery. This is true for Kitsap Incorporated Cities that have a responsibility for the welfare of its citizens. Top priority is the preservation of human life. The elected and appointed county/city officials, departments and offices of County/city governments, and supporting organizations, agencies, or individuals, will retain their identity and autonomy, but will function under this plan as an emergency organization under the direction of the Kitsap County Commissioners and City Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, through the Department of Emergency Management. The essential activities of the emergency organization will be coordinated through the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or City EOCs as appropriate. Emergency operations are conducted on a 24-hour basis, as required. Each Chief office of County/city governments are responsible for providing qualified and trained personnel to their appropriate EOC as outlined in their Emergency Operations Plan to carry out essential assigned activities. Within County/City Governments, supervisors and employees will use department plans and procedures to carry out essential response activities during an emergency. This may include department/facility response activities for life safety and support for County/city response to include EOC operations. Other governmental entities within Kitsap County are responsible for ensuring effective operations and using all available resources including mutual aid to manage the Effective: July 1, 2015 14 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo emergency within their respective jurisdictions, prior to requesting assistance from county government. Any assistance or exhaustion of resources of Kitsap County Government will be managed through the Kitsap County EOC who will request assistance from State Government. When mutual aid is requested, the responsible requesting organization will be in charge unless the specific mutual aid agreements direct otherwise. When activated, Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) provide a means to bring responsible agencies and governments together to plan and resolve emergency issues in Kitsap as well as provide safety for citizens and recover from disasters. Exhibit III-2 provides a brief discussion of each ESF.

Direction and Control The Director of Emergency Management reports to the Kitsap County Emergency Management Council. The Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is the coordination point for emergency response activities. The EMC authorizes the Director of Emergency Management and their successor to take appropriate actions to preserve life and stabilize the emergency to include activation of the EOC, use of County resources, and Emergency Declaration. Appendix (4) provides "Direction and Control" for Governments in support of response and EOC activities. C. Emergency Operations Facilities The primary County EOC is located at 911 Carver Street, Bremerton, WA. City/County EOCs and alternates are noted in Appendix (4). Alternate EOC locations are utilized when necessary and are determined by the size, severity and damage levels of disaster events. The size and complexity of a disaster will determine the need to move operations to an alternate size large enough to accommodate responding State and Federal support agencies. All County and City EOCs use ICS structure for managing emergencies. The County EOC is designed to transition to ESFs dependent on the magnitude of the event. City EOCs have the option to decide the components of EOC management based on availability of employees to manage EOC operations. In the event a City is unable to activate their EOC, the County EOC will activate to respond and coordinate resources for the affected city. Noted also in Appendix (4), is the agencies that activate emergency operation or coordination centers as part of a multi - agency response network. D. Resource Prioritization Strategy and Concept Following a disaster, the County EOC will coordinate resources to support County and City response efforts. The resource prioritization concept is to "do the most good for the most people". Each jurisdiction is responsible for their own resource management internally and will coordinate with the County EOC for additional resources. Special purpose districts are responsible for their own emergency response plans and resources. If the disaster is multi - jurisdictional in nature, the County EOC will assist affected jurisdictions that have legally proclaimed an emergency. Assistance includes resource mobilization, mutual aid agreements and public and private sector resources to include local, state and federal assets (see ESF-7 Resource Management). When the County or City resources are exhausted as well as mutual aid agreements, that jurisdiction may declare an emergency and request resource support from Kitsap County, State or Federal agencies. Effective: July 1, 2015 17 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo E. Mitigation & Preparedness Activities Mitigation Kitsap County has an active mitigation program working with County, City, and special purpose districts to identify and mitigate hazards in Kitsap. An approved Hazard Mitigation Plan is in place to benchmark mitigation strategies and take advantage of mitigation funding or local resources to improve Kitsap's protection from hazards. Mitigation strategies are a standard in many county and city land use and management plans to make the best use of land vulnerable to hazards. All elements of Kitsap County and City governments will ensure that personnel, property and equipment are protected from the effects of disasters by complying with Paragraph IV.0 of this Basic Plan. Preparedness Kitsap County through the Department of Emergency Management has a comprehensive preparedness program for every tier of preparedness from the citizen to County and City Governments. The program core elements are presentation, training and exercises, and programs to enhance emergency response like Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) or school or neighborhood response team to enhance preparedness through collaboration. The primary goals of preparedness are to connect communities, like organizations, and first responders so they can rely on each others support during disasters. Kitsap also uses social media and other services to elicit preparedness programs and widen our audience. F. Response & Recovery Activities Response This plan as well as many other supporting plans provides comprehensive response processes for a variety of hazards. Coupled with NIMS standards and all -hazards approach, our response network allows Kitsap to maximize communications, coordination, and direction. Additional information on disaster response is provided throughout this document. Effective: July 1, 2015 18 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Recovery Short and long term recovery requires an all county approach to solving complex problems to bring the community back to normalcy. This requires the collaboration of governments, agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations to provide a safe and secure environment in the short term, and long term housing and support systems in the long term recovery process. The Kitsap County Recovery Plan coupled with ESF-14 and 22 provide the basic approach to manage recovery activities. Recovery has numerous goals including: • Defining short and long term goals • Damage assessments • State and Federal Public and private assistance process • Short and long term shelters and mass care support • Business and Government continuity • Identify recovery funding sources • Manage the Recovery process G. Public Information and Warning Basic warning systems for eminent danger (Emergency Alert System) or of a lesser priority, news and social media will be used to alert and keep the public informed of an emergency in Kitsap County. The Joint Information Center (JIC) is part of a comprehensive network in the Puget Sound Region to collect and disseminate warning and general information and instruction. All public information disseminated to the news media about Kitsap County government emergency operations and services by county departments, offices, and elected or appointed officials, will be released through the Joint Information Center (JIC) to ensure information is consistent. It is the role of the JIC to support County/City EOCs and provide timely and accurate information to the public. Effective: July 1, 2015 19 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Section IV: Roles and Responsibilities It is the role of each jurisdiction to support emergency operations at the extent defined in each of their Emergency Operation Plan (Annex B 1-5). This plan will provide an overview of County/City EOCs and their relationship to the County's EOC which, again, serves as the primary EOC for response and recovery coordination. Regardless, each jurisdiction has been trained to manage emergencies in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directives 5 and 8. As noted above, the County EOC, acting as the County's Coordination Center for emergencies will employ Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) as appropriate and include those individuals representing the Cities and County of Kitsap. Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) establish prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities. There is either one agency or joint agencies, with primary responsibility for each ESF. Other agencies and/or organizations may have ESF support roles. ESFs numbered 1-15 correspond to the Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and National Response Framework (NRF) numbering system. ESFs 20-22 are used by Kitsap County. Additionally, during recovery operations, the Kitsap County Recovery Plan is designed to complement the National Recovery Framework. Refer to Exhibit III-2 for a synopsis of ESFs used in Kitsap County. A. Role of the Federal Government The Federal government, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), shall provide assistance in a timely manner to save lives and to protect property, the economy, and the environment. The National Response Framework facilitates the delivery of all types of federal response assistance to states and helps them deal with the consequences of significant emergencies and disasters. Further responsibilities are detailed in ESF-22 State and Federal Support. Additionally, other Federal agencies will provide assistance in response to specific emergencies like terrorism (FBI lead), epidemics (CDC) and/or environmental (EPA) to name a few other possibilities. B. Role of Washington State Government Washington State, through its Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and Emergency Operations Center (EOC), coordinates all emergency management activities of the State, to protect lives and property, and preserve the environment. In addition, the State takes Effective: July 1, 2015 20 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo appropriate actions to mitigate the effects of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impacts of emergencies or disasters. State government departments are responsible for providing various services such as specialized skills, equipment, and resources in support of state and local government emergency operations. State Government will also work with the Regional FEMA Office and other Federal Agencies for interstate mutual aid, federal resources, and public and private assistance upon Presidential Declaration of a Disaster. There are two Tribal Reservations in Kitsap County that are not under this CEMP. They both have Emergency Management Programs and collaborate with Kitsap County to support response and recovery efforts during emergencies. During a emergency/disaster, at the request of the Tribe, Kitsap County and it Cities will support request for assistance and resources as needed to respond and recover from the event. C. Role of Kitsap County Governments The following are basic responsibilities for emergency management operations provided by and through Kitsap County government. Detailed responsibilities and essential activities are found in the appropriate Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) and Appendices to this document. Department -level operating procedures detail how individual departments shall perform their responsibilities as delineated in this Basic Plan, ESFs and Appendices as well as the operating plan for each of Kitsap's Cities. This section is a broad overview of the responsibility of government during emergencies. Each department in Kitsap County government has basic responsibilities in the four phases of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. The roles and responsibilities in each of these areas are outlined in CEMP Annex(s) that provide specific strategies in accomplishing these tasks. Through the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), Kitsap County also has a regional (county -wide) responsibility for coordination of response and recovery operations including warning, public information, damage assessment, resource coordination, and recovery guidance for individuals plus political and special purpose jurisdictions. All Kitsap County and City departments (including judicial and legislative organizations) shall: • Ensure that employee work areas are safe, clear of equipment and supplies that may compromise access/egress routes, and that no equipment or supplies can injure employees. Effective: July 1, 2015 21 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo • Participate in emergency management training, drills and exercises to test emergency plans and procedures. • Plan for ADA, elderly, children, people with English as a second language and all other vulnerabilities citizens' may experience in everyday life or encounter as the result of a disaster. • Conduct emergency companion animal evacuation and transportation as per the Pets and Evacuation and Sheltering Standards of 2006, PL. 109-308 • Train department employees on disaster plans and procedures to ensure operational capabilities and facilitate an effective response. • Ensure that equipment and tools are protected from seismic activity (computer and file server tie -downs, secure file cabinets, shelving, and storage areas, etc.). • Insure that adequate disaster supplies and equipment are available for department staff and assigned government response teams. • Develop mutual support agreements with other "like" departments or organizations in other jurisdictions, when appropriate. • Develop procedures to reestablish department operations, including notification of critical personnel, assessment of damage and resources, relocation of critical department functions, and estimated time to open for business. • Provide department resources (supplies, equipment, services, and personnel), as coordinated through the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). • Develop procedures to document all costs of disaster response and recovery. • Ensure compliance with federal and state requirements to protect the environment as much as deemed possible when responding during an emergency. Before a disaster occurs: it is the policy of Kitsap County and its Cities that the head of each county/city department (including elected officials) is responsible for the following: Establish policies and procedures for departmental chain of command and succession of authority. Effective: July 1, 2015 22 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo • Designate primary and alternate locations from which to establish direction and control of departmental activities during a disaster. • Identify and obtaining necessary equipment and supplies, which may be needed to manage departmental activities. • Identify the information needed to manage department activities including how it will be gathered, stored and accessed. • Decide how departmental management relates to the County or city EOCs, and who should report there when an emergency or disaster occurs. • Appoint a liaison and alternates to work with DEM in the development and maintenance of this plan and agency procedures. • Encourage the development of employee response teams from within their department. • Establish policy for 24-hour contact to activate department responsibilities. • Make staff available, when requested by DEM, for appropriate training and emergency assignments, such as EOC activities, damage assessment, and liaisons with other agencies and organizations. All costs for these activities shall be the responsibility of the respective county department. • Establish policies and procedures for documentation of disaster costs and developing administrative methods to keep accurate disaster expenditure records. • Keep an updated inventory of key departmental personnel, facilities and equipment resources. • Train County/City employee's response for emergency/disaster response in the National Incident Management System (NIMS). • Plan for ADA, elderly, children, people with English as a second language and all other vulnerabilities citizens' may experience in everyday life or encounter as the result of a disaster. Effective: July 1, 2015 23 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo It is the policy of Kitsap County that, upon the occurrence of an emergency or disaster, each county/city department is responsible for the following: Assess the impact of the event on departmental personnel, clients, facilities, equipment and capabilities. • Report assessment information through the respective department's chain of command, to DEM or the County or City EOC on a continuing basis, as appropriate. Keep complete records of costs, expenditures, overtime, repairs and other disaster related expenditures. City/County departmental management shall utilize the following guidelines as a basis for an action checklist to manage disaster response and operations. • Report to the pre -designated site to manage department operations. • Ascertain what happened, what can be done about it and what is needed. • Make contact with DEM upon activation of the Kitsap County Campus Command Post or City EOC. Department Management should report assessments to these locations. • Take appropriate actions per department capabilities to save lives and stabilize the emergency at their location (preserve life and injuries). • Keep good records, document actions, costs, overtime, etc. County/City departmental designated staff and agency liaisons will report to the County/city EOC, when activated, to coordinate response efforts and support field operations. A significant disaster (most like a catastrophic earthquake), may result in loss of communications throughout the County. Staff members assigned to County/City EOCs should assume their appropriate EOC is activated and should "self report" to support response activities. Effective: July 1, 2015 24 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo The Department of Emergency Management (DEM) is the lead agency for evaluating a situation to determine if the extraordinary authority of an Emergency Proclamation by the County Commissioners is necessary. Any jurisdiction or department and/or agency requiring an Emergency Proclamation pursuant to their respective authority, coordinates the process with DEM. If requested, DEM will assist cities in Kitsap County with preparing their own Emergency Proclamations. When a disaster occurs, it is anticipated that Kitsap County/city departments, other jurisdictions, first response agencies and organizations will break down their areas of responsibility into manageable units, assess what has happened, what can be done about it and what is needed. This information is sent by whatever means available to the EOC. When resources cannot meet the needs created by a disaster, additional assistance may be requested through normal mutual aid or through the EOC. Additional resources supporting county operations may be located at staging areas until a specific assignment is made (see ESF-7). If the situation is, or may become, beyond the capabilities of the resources of Kitsap County and those provided by mutual aid, the City Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, or Board of County Commissioners may request assistance from the Governor, or from the federal government, through the Governor. As the coordinating entity for resources, DEM through the EOC will request assistance from Washington State through State Emergency Management. Depending on the size and complexity of the emergency, the Governor may follow up with a State Proclamation of Emergency and request assistance from the Federal Government. If communication systems break down in a disaster, a remote site may act as a remote command center for its local area until coordination is established from the EOC. Each may serve as a command post, staging area, reception center, triage station, communications center or other functional capacity as appropriate. Additional information about the role of County and City government is provided Appendix (4) to this plan and Annex B1-B5, Kitsap County and City Emergency Operating Plans. Effective: July 1, 2015 25 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Section V: Emergency Response: An Overview This section provides an overview of Kitsap County's emergency/disaster response and recovery network and actions. Additional and specific actions are provided in each of the County/City Emergency Operating Plans Annex B 1 through 135. Each of the plans and procedures in Exhibit I-1 is a piece of the emergency response and recovery system guiding responders from a variety of organizations to act during an emergency. As part of a comprehensive preparedness program, planning for response to hazards provides an approved structured and defined response to maximize the communication, coordination, and control to save lives and minimize damage as a result of the event. This begins with a structured response network made up of responders from many agencies all trained and exercised within the system defined in Kitsap using the fundamentals of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS).

Exhibit V-1: Emergency Response Operational Chart Effective: July 1, 2015 26 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo When an emergency happens, the DEM Director is responsible for hazard assessment and how it affects the citizens of the Cities/County. Local first responders, generally fire and law, will respond as directed by Central Communications/911 to save lives and stabilize the event. Depending on the size and complexity of the emergency, the DEM Director will activate the EOC to a phase of operation commensurate with the magnitude of the emergency and bring in county employees and agency representatives into the EOC and provide resource coordination. Phases are noted in Exhibit V-1 earlier in this plan. Generally, the DEM Director or his/her successor will act as Disaster Manager and coordinate response and recovery actions. Staffing will be determined by the complexity of the event. The size and complexity of the emergency will also define the extent of response by the County's Multi -Agency Network made up of agencies that have a role in emergency response to include fire agencies, health and medical organizations, and non-profit organizations. Exhibit V-2 is a graphical view of the County multi -agency response network. It shows the numerous EOC/ECCs that represent major organizations in Kitsap during emergency response. Events begin with the DEM Duty Officer as noted in Exhibit 111-1 (Section 11I). The Duty Officer through concurrence of the DEM Director, activate the County EOC.

If needed, City EOCs may also activate to provide safety, security and resources to their citizens. As a coordinating EOC, the County EOC will house representatives from various agencies and work within the ICS system. If the event is large and requires increased span of control, the Disaster Manager may activate Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) to respond to key functional issues essential to life support and/or lifelines. Exhibit V-3 shows the EOC ICS structure and staff assignments. City EOCs, because of limited number of city employees will generally activate an EOC to support response actions. As the event is stabilized, the County EOC would active ESFs and assumes responsibility of short and long term recovery operations. There will be events which require multiple agencies with jurisdictional incident authority to work together to save lives and stabilize an emergency. These incidents may cross or involve separate political boundaries. The ICS concept of Unified Command is essential in defining those agencies or jurisdictions that have authority and essential to successful operations. Some may serve as qualified incident managers or field experts. In the EOC, a Multi -agency group (MAC) may be formed to provide direction and control to the EOC Disaster Manager for large and complex events than span the county. The Board of County Commissioners will take the lead with consultation of the Disaster Manager to determine those individuals/agencies that should make up this group. Large events may require coordination and decision making among key County leaders. As such, the Executive Group would form a Unified Structure to support key decisions that affect the citizens of Kitsap. The group size and members will be determined by the type of event and affected jurisdictions, but will begin with the members of the EMC. Disaster Recovery will consist of actions to provide short term safety and security of citizens to include sheltering, food and water, and coordinating State and Federal assistance. State and Federal agencies, upon State and Presidential Declaration of Disaster, will meld into locally activated ESFs and support response and recovery operations. As such, Kitsap County becomes part of the national response network as depicted in Exhibit V-4.

Purpose and Scope The purpose of this section is to outline the emergency management training, exercise, and credentialing program to include NIMS training. The training and exercise program serve to increase operational readiness by improving individual skills and increasing the readiness of Kitsap County to respond to emergencies. Planning Annually, Kitsap County Department of Taking Corrective Organizing Action Emergency Management (DEM) assesses the capacity of the County and its Cities to Preparedness respond to a wide range of emergencies as Evaluating Cycle Training outlined in HIVA 2015. Each year, DEM along with representatives from first responding agencies, assess capabilities Exercising J _Equipping using the Homeland Security's Threat Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process to determine gaps in the preparedness program. As gaps are identified, methods are examined to close gaps via planning, operations, equipment, training or exercises (POETE). Exhibit VI-1 shows the process for THIRA threat analysis. Gaps analysis is documented in DEM's goals and objectives which become the basis for annual training and exercise programs. DEM delivers a range of training classes to enhance the emergency planning and response capabilities of Kitsap County elected officials, department directors, managers, and employees, special purpose districts, businesses, schools, emergency workers, and the public. In addition to these local classes, DEM in alliance with Washington State Emergency Management, define statewide training and exercise goals and formal training courses offered by the State and FEMA. Kitsap County DEM is the focal point for exercises that test and evaluate Kitsap County's many emergency response plans. Kitsap County DEM develops and coordinates the exercise program to facilitate training that is necessary to orient Kitsap County agencies to the CEMP and other incident plans.

Effective: July 1, 2015 33 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 1. Training As noted earlier, annually DEM will develop a comprehensive training and exercise program based on preparedness needs, THIRA gaps, and training needs of EOC personnel and the various volunteer organization sponsored by DEM. Training may come from a variety of resources. The DEM staff, working with collaborative agencies will provide local training; DEM, working with Washington State Emergency Management Division, will provide State sponsored training; and finally, formal education sponsored by FEMA's Emergency Management Institute will be utilized to close THIRA gaps and increase skills and expertise of those responsible for emergency response and recovery. Training is made up of a variety of methods including formal and informal classroom training, online training, seminars, workshops, and qualification cards. DEM Community Preparedness program is designed for a variety of preparedness activities for numerous tiers of response including personal, business, government, and responders. Comprehensive community preparedness includes training, but also planning, exercises, and operational readiness. 2. Exercises The exercise program incorporates the results of gap analysis, but also to accommodate the many agency exercise needs in Kitsap. This includes individualized city exercises, exercises with military partners, and full scales exercises to evaluate collaboration with other Counties in the Puget Sound Region. Exercise programs will be developed and managed using the Homeland Security's Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). HSEEP provides a systematic approach to exercise development, evaluation, execution, and post -improvement planning. Every opportunity will be given to as many County agencies/organizations to participate in exercises and gain valuable lessons from the experience. Exercises can come in several forms, but mostly follow those defined by FEMA as a workshop, seminar, drill, and functional or full scale exercises. Each activity provides the opportunity to gain knowledge, exercise a skill or exercise teamwork to coordinate and resolve complex emergency situations. 3. Credentialing KCDEM is responsible for maintaining the County's credentialing program. As required under Homeland Security Directives, personnel as well as equipment will be "typed" to support a comprehensive inventory of resources in the County. The credentialing of personnel is designed to validate and document training and qualifications of personnel who serve to Effective: July 1, 2015 34 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo respond in any number of capacities based on their skills and expertise. This includes NIMS training requirements for responders and those who work in EOCs. Training and exercises at all levels in the County to include citizen preparedness is the foundation of successful emergency response to minimize loss of life and damages during a disaster. Effective: July 1, 2015 35 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Section VII: Plan Maintenance Once Approved, CEMP 2015 will be part of a typical plan maintenance cycle to ensure the plan remains current and up-to-date. Maintenance consists of • Reviewing the Plan each year as it moves toward the next required Revision (4 year Cycle). • Train on the plan to insure Governments and response agencies are familiar with its content. • Exercise the plan as much as possible, but specifically each functional and full scale exercise. • Evaluate the plan after each functional and full scale exercise or actual emergency. • Improved the plan based on lessons learned during real or exercised events. PI:3nn:r;. Assign Develops Monitor Feedback L --------------------------- Generally, revisions to this plan will be submitted to the Emergency Management for review and approval. If required for significant changes, the revised plan will be submitted before the Board of County Commissioners and each City Council for resolution. Minor changes that revise clarification of existing portion of the plan reflect changes in state or federal requirements, or other changes that do no change the integrity or responsibilities of Kitsap Government or establish or change City or County policy will be approved by the EMC only. Emergency support function annexes (ESFs) delineate the specific responsibilities of the CEMP. ESFs can be subject to frequent and significant change in response to new procedures, policies or technologies, to lessons learned, and to accommodate new organizations or organizational structures. Accordingly, they may be revised by the functional lead agency or agencies, with the concurrence of applicable support agencies, if they are consistent with the basic plan and neither change nor establish policy. Effective: July 1, 2015 36 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Appendix 1 HIVA 2015 Abstract "Executive Summary" Every four years, communities in Washington State must update their Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans (CEMP). To support this update, The Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) are reviewed concurrently with the CEMP to validate Earthquakes hazards in the community to include Terrorism Drought mnatural, manmade and technological. The Hazards HIVA has been reviewed and updated by the Kitsap County Emergency Fires Winter Storms Management Staff and any changes will Landsides be incorporated into the CEMP. Revisions Life Governments to the HIVA are noted below. Econom Risk First Responders y Since the last update in 2008 there has not Non -Profits been a major emergency in Kitsap County Vulnerability Preparedness and its incorporated Cities. There have been a number of winter -storm events that Infrastructure Schools Citizens have triggered the activation of the Environment Businesses Emergency Operations Center to support power outages, minor flooding, and minimal damage. These types of winter storms are the most common and through the years, Kitsap County and its Cities have made significant effort to mitigate these events through successful storm water systems, tree -trimming along roads, and community preparedness programs. Enhancement in GIS technologies has provided valuable information in accessing natural hazards in Kitsap. These enhancements provide mapping of USGS and Washington State hazard data for ongoing assessments at all levels of government. For example, since 2010, FEMA has been conducting mapping and analysis to provide better information on the affects of tides and tsunamis on Kitsap's shorelines. Installation of rain gages throughout Kitsap provides improved information on water tables, droughts, and rainfall data. Although severe winter storms continue to be our "bread and butter" events, our greatest risk continues to be earthquakes. As such, the Department of Emergency Management continues to prepare our staff, first responders, and the public for the next significant earthquake. Any earthquake of a "Nisqually" or greater event will have a significant impact on people, economy and the environment. Within reason, preparing for the greatest all -hazard event, will prepare us for events of lesser magnitude. The table below is a summary of the risk ratings applied to the hazards and threats assessed in this document. Information on how the assessment was determined can be found in Section I to this document.

THIRA allows Kitsap County to evaluate its capabilities to mitigation, prepare, respond and recover from disasters. Through annual assessments, THIRA will identify gaps in these areas to be used as future goals and objectives. • HIVA 2015 includes a discussion on climate change. The argument over whether global warming or evidence of climate change exists is not the purpose of this discussion, but rather a discussion on the potential affects and vulnerably associated the climatic change.

Introduction The purpose of the Direction and Control Appendix is to define the direction, control and coordination among Government employees and their relationship to emergency response and operational center activities to provide: • For the effective direction, control, and coordination of emergency management activities undertaken in accordance with the Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). • For continued operation and continuity of Kitsap County and City governments and its functions during and after emergencies or disasters. • For the assurance of preservation of public and private records essential to the continued operations of government and the private sector. This appendix will concentrate on County response and support of the County EOC. City Emergency Operation Plans (EOP) will include comprehensive direction and control for their employees in response to an emergency. B. Concept of Operations 1. General Direction, control, and coordination are conducted along the general guidelines shown in Exhibit V-3: Emergency Management Organizational Exhibit V-1: Emergency Management Operational Chart and the Organization and Responsibilities Matrix in this appendix. Continuity of government is ensured through leadership succession, backup communications systems, alternate operational locations, and preservation of essential records. 2. Direction and Control Emergency Management in Kitsap County is established by state law, RCW 38.52. Other state and county laws and ordinances provide guidance for how emergency management conducts business during emergencies and disasters (see Appendix 1, Authorizations and References). When the Board of County Commissioners or a City Mayor, or Chief Executive Officer for Bainbridge Island proclaims an emergency, direction and control is usually delegated to the Effective: July 1, 2015 4-1 Appendix 4 - Direction and Control Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Director of the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management in cooperation with local jurisdictions, volunteer organizations, and the private sector. Kitsap County or city services and facilities may be used during the time of an emergency or disaster. The Commissioner(s), City Mayor or their designee, or Chief Executive Officer for Bainbridge Island, directors of selected county departments and agencies or their designees, and other key individuals may operate during emergencies and disasters from the primary County/City Emergency Operations Center (EOC), or a designated alternate County/city EOC respectfully. Direction and control can be conducted using the existing communications systems that are part of emergency management or communications that have been specifically established for emergency management operations. See Emergency Support Function (ESF) 2, Telecommunications/ Information Systems and Warning. C. Coordination Emergency Management provides the means for coordinating resources and assets necessary to alleviate emergency or disaster impacts on residents and public entities. Coordination occurs with federal, state, and local jurisdictions, as well as other special purpose districts, volunteer agencies and private businesses. D. Continuity of Government 1. Unincorporated Kitsap County In the event that an emergency/disaster reduces the number of County Commissioners, the following applies: If there is one vacancy, the two remaining Commissioners fill it; if there are two vacancies, the Governor appoints one Commissioner and the two Commissioners appoint the third; if the two Commissioners are unable to agree on the third, the Governor makes the appointment, per RCW 36.32.070. The statute is based on Article II, Section 15 of the Washington State Constitution. (a) Commissioners Absence — Emergencies/Disaster In the event the Kitsap County Commissioners are all injured, isolated or deceased the following "succession of command" has been established: In order of succession: 1. Sheriff 2. Auditor 3. Assessor 4. Clerk Effective: July 1, 2015 4-2 Appendix 4 - Direction and Control Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 5. Treasurer (b) Elected and/or Appointed Department Head absence — Emergencies/Disaster Other executive heads of departments and agencies will appoint and identify temporary interim successors or designees in the event they are unable or unavailable to fulfill their duties and responsibilities due to an emergency/disaster. The temporary interim successor, in the order identified by the department head, will have the authority to act in the place of the department head until the department head resumes control or a new executive may be appointed. In the event the elected and/or appointed department head is injured, isolated or deceased the following "succession of command" has been established in order of succession for each department. See Figure 4 — Kitsap County Departments — Line of Succession on page 17. (c) Essential Records Preservation — Emergencies/Disaster All departments and agencies of Kitsap County shall identify records essential for continuity and preservation of government and provide for their protection according to the guidelines set by the State Archivist (Secretary of State's Office, RCW 40.10.010). 2. Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo According to the Continuity of Government section of the State of Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, cities are "charged with the responsibility for ensuring provisions are made for continuity of government during emergencies within their respective jurisdictions." The cities have independently determined their own orders of succession as noted below. a. Bainbridge Island Under the council - manager form of government, the members of the City Council choose a chair from among their number on a biennial basis. The chair has the title of mayor. He or she also continues to have all the rights, privileges, and immunities of a member of the Council. He or she has no regular administrative duties, but in time of public danger or emergency, if so authorized by ordinance, shall take command of the police, maintain law, and enforce order. The City Council also selects a mayor pro tem, to serve in the absence or temporary disability of the mayor. According to the Bainbridge Island Manual of City Governance Policies, Procedures and Guidelines, Adopted March 10, 2010, "In the event that the executive head of any city or town is unavailable by reason of enemy attack to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office, the provisions of RCW 42.14.050 shall apply. The same policy shall be applied in the case of a natural or man-made disaster." Effective: July 1, 2015 4-3 Appendix 4 - Direction and Control Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo RCW 42.14.050 states, "In the event that the executive head of any city or town is unavailable by reason of enemy attack to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office, then those members of the city or town council or commission available for duty shall by majority vote select one of their number to act as the executive head of such city or town. In the event enemy attack reduces the number of city or town councilmembers or commission members, then those members available for duty shall have full power to act by majority vote of those present." b. Bremerton Pursuant to Article W Section 19 of the City of Bremerton Charter, the Mayor," Shall be the official and ceremonial head of the City and shall represent the City, except that when illness or other duties prevent the Mayor's attendance at an official function and the Mayor Pro Tempore is unavailable, a member of Council or some other suitable person may be designated by the Mayor to represent the City on such occasion." Based on Article II Section 11 of the City of Bremerton Charter, the Mayor Pro Tempore will assume the Mayor's duties if the Mayor is incapacitated. The Mayor Pro Tempore being a position filled by majority vote of the city council, it is assumed that following the Mayor Pro Tempore in the line of succession will be the members of the City Council as voted on to assume the position of Mayor Pro Tempore. c. Port Orchard The Port Orchard Municipal Code provides for a Mayor Pro Tem in the case of the mayor being incapacitated. Beyond the Mayor Pro Tem, leadership would fall to the City Council members as appointed by majority vote of the council. d. Poulsbo According to the Poulsbo Municipal Code 2.60.010A, "The mayor has the power to impose, by written proclamation of emergency, any or all of the regulations listed in Sections 2.60.020 through 2.60.050 whenever any of the following conditions exist in the city of Poulsbo to such an extent as to require, in his or her judgment, extraordinary measures to protect the public peace, safety and welfare," which includes natural and man-made disasters. In the event that the mayor is incapacitated, Poulsbo City Code 2.60.050B states, "In the absence of the mayor, the deputy mayor shall have and be authorized to execute the powers provided in this section." Beyond the mayor and deputy mayor, there is also the position of alternate deputy mayor as established according to Poulsbo City Code 2.12. Other executive heads of departments and agencies will appoint and identify temporary interim successors or designees in the event they are unable or unavailable to fulfill their Effective: July 1, 2015 4-4 Appendix 4 - Direction and Control Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo duties and responsibilities due to an emergency/disaster. The temporary interim successor, in the order identified by the department head, will have the authority to act in the place of the department head until the department head resumes control or a new executive may be appointed. All departments and agencies of a City shall identify records essential for continuity and preservation of government and provide for their protection according to the guidelines set by the State Archivist (Secretary of State's Office, RCW 40.10.010). E. Emergency Operations Centers County/City governments will coordinate disaster activities from a central location, referred to as the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the County and designed EOCs for Cities. The County EOC has the capability to support effective communications response activities. The County EOC is located at the CenCom/Emergency Management Bldg. 911 Carver Street, Bremerton. Appendix (4) to the Basic Plan provides a list of primary and alternate EOCs for Kitsap County and its Cities. Emergency Operating and Support Procedures are maintained to ensure the facility is adequately staffed and equipped to be immediately available when needed. The County/City alternate EOC may be used if the primary facility is unable to accommodate the county's needs during a disaster or it is necessary to transition to a larger facility to accommodate a large and/or complex disaster in the County. The alternate Kitsap County facility is located at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds, but may be located at other facilities in the event the Pavilion is incapacitated. Cities and special purpose districts will coordinate activities impacting county resources with the County EOC. F. Roles and Responsibilities 1. General General responsibilities for county/city departments are identified in the Basic Plan under Section V, Responsibilities. Exhibit 3-1 Organization and Responsibilities Matrix, identifies primary and support responsibilities for county/city departments and agencies as they relate to Emergency Support Functions identified by this plan. Policy decisions affecting county government are made by the Board of County Commissioners or the respective Mayor of the affected city, or the Chief Executive Officer for Bainbridge Island. The Commissioners/City Mayor, or Chief Executive Officer for Bainbridge Island may choose to convene a group of advisors or may make decisions based Effective: July 1, 2015 4-5 Appendix 4 - Direction and Control Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo on information gathered by others. The EOC will be informed of all policy decisions. Regardless, final policy decisions of citizen's rest with the elected official of a Jurisdiction. Personnel in the County EOC handle coordination issues or operational decisions that significantly impact more than one department. The EOC Incident Manager informs the Commissioners of major events and decisions in regards to the emergency or disaster. In return, the Commissioners/Mayor, or Chief Executive Officer for Bainbridge Island or their designee informs the EOC of all policy decisions concerning the emergency. Major decisions made at the department level will be transmitted to the EOC. Other agencies or departments may be impacted or have similar issues to address. Because of the complexity of emergencies and disasters, county departments may be responsible for functions or operations that do not normally fall within their scope of responsibility, and will find that they must work closely with other public, volunteer and private agencies to ensure success. 2. Emergency Management The director of the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management subject to the direction and control of the Kitsap County Emergency Management Council shall be responsible to the Council for coordinating the emergency management program for the county. The director shall coordinate the activities of organizations for emergency management within the county, and shall maintain liaison with and cooperate with emergency management organizations of cities, the state and the federal government, and shall have such additional authority, duties, and responsibilities as prescribed by the Council. Direction and control is usually delegated to the director of DEM, in cooperation with county departments, agencies, local jurisdictions, volunteer organizations, and the private sector. 3.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose 1. ESF-1 assists local governmental agencies, voluntary organizations, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector in the effective coordination and utilization of transportation systems and infrastructure during emergencies and disasters. 2. ESF-1 provides guidance and direction for the coordinated evacuation of threatened populations away from high -risk area(s). Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 1 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo ESF-1 participates in prevention, preparedness, and response, recovery and mitigation activities. B. Scope Transportation systems and infrastructure include roadways, bridges, public and private transit, motor transport, rail lines, waterways, car and passenger ferries, airports and pipelines. ESF-1 provides transportation assistance during emergencies and disasters, including the following activities: Monitor and report status of and damage to the transportation system and infrastructure as a result of an emergency or disaster. Coordinating transportation activities and processing requests for transportation resources — particularly during the response phase of the emergency or disaster. Identify temporary alternative transportation solutions to be implemented by others locally when transportation systems or infrastructure are damaged, unavailable or overwhelmed. 4. Coordinate the restoration and recovery of critical transportation systems and infrastructure. Coordinate and support prevention, preparedness, and response, recovery and mitigation activities among public and private transportation stakeholders within the authority and resource limitations of ESF-1 agencies. II. RELATED POLICIES A. To the greatest extent possible, primary and secondary agencies will utilize day- to-day policies to support transportation systems and infrastructure operation during emergencies and disasters, except when the situation requires exceptional policy changes or modifications. B. Primary and secondary agencies will perform transportation -related tasks under their own authority, as applicable, in addition to tasks received under the authority of The Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. C. Rapid damage assessment of impacted areas will be made to determine response priorities and transportation demands. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 2 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo D. Primary and secondary agencies will support the coordinated collection of damage assessment reports affecting transportation systems and infrastructure. To the greatest extent possible, each primary and secondary agency is responsible for the inspection, repair and operation of its own resources and infrastructure. E. Primary and secondary agencies will ensure that an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) is in place to maintain essential transportation services. F. The successful activation and on -going operation of ESF-1 will rely heavily on the partnerships and collaborative efforts of each primary and secondary agency. All ESF-1 activities will follow National Incident Management System (NIMS) principles. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. Emergency and disaster conditions and hazards are identified in the Kitsap County HIVA. B. Initial response may be difficult to coordinate during the response phase immediately post emergency or disaster, but will gradually improve with the gradual restoration of transportation routes. C. The severity and scale of an emergency or disaster may damage transportation systems and infrastructure and limit the delivery of essential transportation services affecting people, equipment and supplies. D. The special needs population may be especially impacted due to their reliance upon transportation support on a day-to-day basis. E. The type and degree of damage to transportation systems and infrastructure may limit the effectiveness and efficiency of both the response to the emergency or disaster and the recovery from it. F. Within the Puget Sound Region, the restoration of transportation systems and infrastructure may be accomplished on a priority basis — meaning a transportation restoration project in Kitsap County may not have as high of a priority as one in an adjacent county. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 3 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo G. Repair of transportation systems and infrastructure may be delayed due to insufficient availability of engineering and construction services. H. The fact is understood that transportation systems do not end at a jurisdictional boundary and, thus, the integrity of transportation systems and infrastructure in adjacent counties impact resource acquisition and distribution in Kitsap County. I. The fact is understood that the existence of only one true land transportation route into Kitsap County from adjacent counties impacts the movement of people, equipment and supplies to and from Kitsap County, as well as response and recovery resources. An evacuation process may involve one or more jurisdictions and agencies; thus, no one official or agency may have the statutory authority and responsibility for carrying out an evacuation order. K. Some population may not follow official instructions to evacuate an area of risk. L. Some population may evacuate an area of risk prior to the issuance of official evacuation instructions. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Initial Actions 1. Monitor and report the status of and damage to the transportation systems and infrastructure. 2. Project traffic flow patterns. 3. Identify appropriate evacuation routes away from the incident. 4. Determine effective/efficient emergency responder routes into the incident. Receive, prioritize and coordinate transportation assistance requests based upon available transportation resources. Obtain additional transportation resources. Some of these resources may have a fee associated with its use. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 4 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 7. Identify temporary alternative transportation solutions to be implemented locally by others when primary systems or routes are unavailable or overwhelmed. 8. Coordinate the delivery of adopted alternative transportation solution(s). 9. Implement appropriate airspace management measures. B. Continuing/On-Going Actions Inspect damage to roadways, rail lines, bridges, marine terminals, waterways and related transportation system infrastructure. 2. Coordinate the restoration and recovery of the transportation systems and infrastructure. Coordinate and support prevention, preparedness, and mitigation activities among transportation stakeholders. 4. Gather and analyze vital information — such as status of evacuation routes, traffic patterns, problem areas, shelter and fuel availability and applicable emergency messages and instructions. 5. Advise on appropriate commodity staging locations. Return transit services to normal levels as soon as possible following the emergency or disaster. Provide alternative routing information to private -sector companies transporting vital commodities. C. Incident Scope/Complexity Change Actions I. Activation of ESF-1 may be for small, localized events or a widespread regional or catastrophic event. Because a wide range of emergencies or disasters may require ESF-1 activation, the lead agency or jurisdiction may shift depending on the particular emergency or disaster. 2. A change in the incident's scope and complexity may result in the need for assistance from State agencies. If so, any State resource response will be initiated and coordinated by the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and plans 3. If the incident's scope and complexity have exceeded local and State capabilities, tribal and Federal response resources may be utilized. If so, Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 5 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo any tribal or State resource response will be initiated and coordinated by the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and plans. V. DIRECTION AND CONTROL The Kitsap County Disaster Manager is responsible for direction and control of ESFs in the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. ESF #1 can selectively be activated based upon the emergency or disaster. Activation, assignment and responsibility of ESF #1 will be at the direction of the Kitsap County Disaster Manager with lines of authority through the Operations Section Chief. An ESF Coordinator will be assigned to manage the activities of ESF-1. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-1 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. VI. RESPONSIBILITIES A. General Responsibilities The Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) will serve as the ESF-1 Coordinator. KCDEM is responsible for planning and coordinating activities affecting transportation systems and infrastructure throughout prevention, preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. These activities include planning and coordination, maintaining ongoing contact with ESF-1 primary and support agencies, conducting periodic ESF-1 meetings and conference calls, coordinating efforts with local agencies and private -sector organizations and coordinating ESF # 1 activities relating to catastrophic incident and mass evacuation planning and critical infrastructure preparedness, as appropriate. 1. Mitigation Activities It is the responsibility of each transportation and utilities to mitigate, when possible to reduce disruption to their systems caused by hazards in the Puget Sound Region. Collaborating with Kitsap County Emergency Management on matters affecting transportation is essential to improved response measures. Other efforts to improve technology or remove barriers to restoration can help to mitigate losses and reduce restoration times which help the community to return to normalcy. Active participation in Kitsap County Mitigation Program and FEMA's Mitigation Grant Program can be beneficial in mitigating transportation hazards as a result of a catastrophic event. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 6 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 2.

ATTACHMNENTS Attachment IA: Evacuation of Citizens Attachment 113: Human Resource Initial Staging Areas Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 17 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Attachment 1A Evacuation of Citizens 1. General Information Kitsap County Emergency Management maintains a number of procedures involved with the local evacuation of citizens. These procedures are designed for a specific type of emergency, mostly hazardous materials events like a radiological event. There is no specific emergency that would warrant the entire evacuation of Kitsap County and because of limited major road structures, such an evacuation would result in chaos and beyond the capacity of Governments to manage such an event. In response to an emergency, local first responders will take action to evacuate areas to save lives and respond to the event. Local Public Health would work with local responders and ESF-1 to coordinate a plan to evacuate an area affected by hazardous materials or health event, like Ebola contamination and set up support systems to support the emergency. Upon activation, ESF-1 would be the primary unit that would support a planned evacuation of a specified area. The assessment of roads and coordination of traffic would be essential to managing a coordinated evacuation of a community and to keep citizens away from danger. 2. Concept of Operations a. Numerous agencies will work together to develop a plan for evacuation of citizens. This will include the use of law enforcement for traffic control and security, public works for road barriers and assessment of available roads, and Kitsap Transit for the movement of citizens from stricken areas. Specific operational concepts include: b. The Executive Director of Kitsap Transit and the Director of Public Works, or their designee shall serve as transportation supervisor in disasters. C. The recommendation for evacuation will be issued by the Board of County Commissioners for the County or City Mayor, or Chief Executive Officer for Bainbridge Island for their respective cities, the County Sheriff, Local Law Chiefs, Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Director, or local Fire Chiefs. The local incident commander will direct and control the evacuation in coordination with the City/County Emergency Operation Center (EOC). d. The relocation of people from their homes, schools and places of business is inter - and intra jurisdictional, with no one person or agency having the authority and Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 1 - 18 ESF 1 - Transportation Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo responsibility for carrying out an evacuation. However, emergency relocation of the population in Kitsap County from a risk area will be coordinated through DEM and the EOC or when activated, a City EOC. e. When transportation sources (e.g., buses or vans) are obtained, drivers will be assigned to drive those vehicles that they are familiar with, e.g., owner or assigned driver. f. Kitsap County will provide emergency transportation, within its capability, in an emergency/disaster. If transportation requirements exceed the capabilities of the county, private sources shall be utilized as a secondary transportation means. If local capabilities are exceeded in meeting transportation needs, Emergency Management may request assistance from Washington State. g. County and City governments, through its departments will direct, control, and coordinate the movement of people on the county road system and will support state and city government with crowd and traffic control on city streets, federal highways, and state roads as resource availability permits. h. Evacuation warning and instructions may be given by Local Law Enforcement and/or fire agencies with door-to-door contacts, mobile sirens, public address systems and the Emergency Alert System (EAS). i. Evacuation instructions and information for the public through the media will be coordinated through the DEM Public Information Coordinator. j. Some of the population may not follow instructions to evacuate a risk area, but choose to remain in homes or places of business. k. Some people can be expected to evacuate a risk area to places of their choice prior to receiving official evacuation instructions. Plan for ADA, elderly, children, people with English as a second language and all other vulnerabilities citizens' may experience in everyday life or encounter as the result of a disaster by referring to the Vulnerable Population Annex H. 3.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose 1. Communications To provide guidance and identify an interoperable communications system capable of providing communications as a result of an emergency or disaster. 2. Alert and Warning To provide guidance for the rapid alerting and warning to key officials, and dissemination of warning information to the public of an impending or occurring emergency or disaster. B. Scope This Emergency Support Function (ESF) applies to all communication and warning assets of Kitsap County organizations to include radio, E9-1-1, voice and data links, telephone and cellular systems, NAWAS, Emergency Alert System (EAS), NOAA Weather Alert Radio and amateur radio. Additionally, there are other supplemental systems such as social media, websites and rapid notification Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 1 ESF 2 — Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo through the County's PIER Program that also provide emergency information to key officials, responders, and the citizens of Kitsap County. II. RELATED POLICIES A. The county relies on the hazard warning capabilities of federal and state government, industry, and the media. Citizens are expected to be aware of a hazardous situation for which there is significant media attention, such as severe weather or flooding. When there is a demonstrated need, particularly if timeliness is crucial to protect life and property, the county may supplement existing warning systems. Supplemental measures will depend on the nature of the hazard, the quality and quantity of information available, resources available, media attention, and other situational factors. Supplemental measures will focus on enhancing or amplifying the information being provided through existing sources and, to the extent practicable, upon participatory systems activated at the neighborhood or community level. B. In accordance with RCW 38.52.110 (1), in responding to a disaster, or the threat of a disaster, the Board of County Commissioners is directed to utilize the services, equipment, supplies, and facilities of existing departments, offices, and agencies of the state, political subdivisions, and all other municipal corporations thereof including but not limited to districts and quasi municipal corporations organized under the laws of the state of Washington to the maximum extent practicable, and the officers and personnel of all such departments, offices, and agencies are directed to cooperate with and extend such services and facilities upon request notwithstanding any other provision of law. C. No guarantee of a perfect system is implied by this plan. As assets and personnel may be overwhelmed, Kitsap County can only endeavor to make every reasonable effort to respond to a hazardous event based on the situation and on information and resources available at the time. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. Reliable communication capabilities are necessary at all levels of government for day-to-day communication, warning of impending disasters, disaster response and recovery operations, search and rescue operations, and coordination between the state, local governments and response agencies. Routine day-to-day modes of communication will continue to be utilized to the degree that they survive the disaster. B. Disruption and damage to the telecommunications infrastructure will likely occur in the event of a natural disaster. The type and degree of damage will determine the effectiveness and availability of communications during the event. C. Local government may request state assistance when necessary by going through emergency management channels. Catastrophic disasters may require the County Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 2 ESF — 2: Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo to work with local, state and federal entities as telecommunications system restoration is done based on regional priorities. D. Kitsap County is subject to a variety of emergency or disastrous events requiring rapid dissemination of warning and/or other emergency information to local officials and/or the public. Emergency or disaster warning may originate from any level of government; however, most disaster forecasting resources are located within the Federal government. E. Notification of a threatening situation may also come from the National Weather Service, via NOAA Weather Radio or the media, the amateur communications community, or the public. F. Initially, Kitsap County will focus on coordinating lifesaving activities and reestablishing communications and control in the disaster area. G. Initial reports of damage will be fragmented and provide an incomplete picture of the extent of damage to telecommunication facilities. H. Weather, damage to roads and bridges, and other factors may restrict entry of emergency communications nodes into the area. I. Tests of local warning systems will be conducted periodically to familiarize government and the public with their use. In the event that public instructions need to be translated, the provision of interpreters will be coordinated through the EOC. Additionally, high risk populations may require a variety of warning systems using alternate communications methods for such items as auditory impairment, visual impairment, and limited English proficiency. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General Information 1. The Kitsap County Central Communications Center (CENCOM) is located in Bremerton. CENCOM functions as the countywide E9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), and provides dispatch services for various law enforcement, fire and emergency medical agencies. CENCOM also serves as the initial communications, alert, and warning point for Emergency Management. See Attachment 2, Kitsap County Communications Center for a description of the CENCOM organization and services. CENCOM coordinates with other PSAP points in Kitsap (Navy's Regional Dispatch Center and WSP Dispatch) during significant emergencies and disasters. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 3 ESF — 2: Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 2. Once activated, emergency communication is also provided through the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) operates through local radio stations and is intended to provide local officials with the means to disseminate prompt, reliable emergency information, instructions, and warning in the event of an emergency/disaster. 4. The communication capabilities presently available are: a. E9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) b. Commercial Telephone (regular, cellular, and wireless telephone) C. Two-way radio (see Attachment 1) d. National Warning System (NAWAS): land line -voice; intrastate land line voice; located in CENCOM. e. EAS relay network public safety radio and the broadcast industry. f. CEMNET: Washington State Emergency Communications Network g. NOAA Weather Alert Radio h. Kitsap County Alternate Communications System (KCACS) includes Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES), 2-way radio and/or teletype/packet system via ham frequency bands i. Social Media: provides supplemental communications that enhance two way communications with the public Communications is based on two important concepts of operations: a. Interoperable Communications Interoperability is essential to insure that first responders and EOCs can communicate across various jurisdictions and other responding agencies. Homeland Security Directive requires interoperability and over the years, Kitsap County responders have closed the gap on this concept. b. Redundancy Multiple means of communications ensures that as systems fail during a disaster, backup systems, although may be limited, can Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 4 ESF — 2: Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo continue to operate and provide essential life safety communications. B. Public Warning Whenever Kitsap County Emergency Management officials are alerted to the threat or occurrence of a hazardous event that could lead to or has resulted in a disaster, the Emergency Operations Center will be activated at the appropriate level and the situation monitored. Depending on the circumstances, monitoring could be a prolonged activity or result in the immediate activation of the local information and warning system. 2. Monitoring will consist of the accumulation, display, and evaluation of relevant information, release of appropriate public information advisories, and alerting response agencies and organizations of the situation. As soon as it is apparent that the public must take some action to prepare or protect itself, the local warning system will be activated, as appropriate and as time and resources allow. Warning could take the form of one or more of the following: • Activation of the NOAA Weather Alert Radio to alert citizens to turn on their radio or television and listen to instructions, • Activation of the Emergency Alert System to disseminate urgent information; • Activation of a telephone or web -based alerting system; • Fire District and Law Enforcement apparatus providing warnings along specific routes using public address systems and sirens; • Activation of volunteer resources; posting of signs; • Activating a call response center in the EOC; • Providing local warning information to regional television and radio stations; or other mechanisms, as appropriate. 4. The Emergency Alert System is the primary means for life-saving instruction to the public. The system should only be used for "eminent life-saving means" as instructed in the Kitsap County EAS Plan. "Amber Alerts" are also used within the EAS System as well as eminent weather threats, although the can only be accessed for use by Washington State Patrol and the National Weather Service respectively. 5. Public information, advisories and warnings will be updated as necessary until the hazard has subsided. Information will be posted to several web - based accounts as well as social media outlets to maximize to the greatest extent, information to the public. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 5 ESF — 2: Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo C. Public Information Public information will be managed through the County's Joint Information System with the central coordinating station at the County's Joint Information Center. The assigned Public Information Officer will coordinate the message to the public and monitor information and instruction provided to the public. D. Communication Systems during EOC Operations During EOC operations, there are several communication systems in place. Every effort should be made to maximize communications, essential to response and coordination. Each individual in the EOC has a responsibility to know what communications are available to them and use them effectively. The EOC Manager will keep the EOC up-to-date on the availability of systems. The systems include: The Incident Commands system designed to manage information through sections and leadership, forms and processing and briefings. Web -based systems designed to manage communication networks like WebEOC, inter/intranet communications, and visual information systems Communication networks to include radio, amateur radio, phone systems, and VTC. It is the role to work with local on -scene Incident Commanders to ensure that have the necessary communication systems to accomplish their mission. In the County EOC, A Communications Leader, under the Logistics Section, will be assigned to monitor and maintain EOC communications and to work with ICs to maintain communications at the scene. The Kitsap County EOC will establish communications with City EOCs, Fire Area Commands, and other coordination agencies to provide essential services to the public. The Alternate Communications System (ACS, Amateur Radio) will provide supplemental communications for multi -agency networking during emergencies. They will also monitor and communicate with other Counties and State agencies. Information on these systems is provided in Kitsap County Emergency Operations Plan and the EOC Technology Manual. V. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Mitigation Activities It is the responsibility of communication providers to mitigate, when possible to reduce disruption to their systems caused by hazards in the Puget Sound Region. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 6 ESF — 2: Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Collaborating with Kitsap County Emergency Management on matters affecting interoperable communications is essential to improved response measures. Other efforts to improve technology or remove barriers to restoration can help to mitigate losses and reduce a restoration time which helps the community to return to normalcy. Examples of mitigation activities include improvements to telecommunication towers hardened to withstand earthquakes; hardening of critical servers that provide web -based services in the County; and battery and generator backups for communications equipment in critical facilities and the field. B. Preparedness Activities Preparedness measures should include personal, family and facility preparedness to ensure employees can respond to emergencies. This includes: • Having a plan in place for response to emergencies • Participation in training and exercises • Understanding and participating in the National Incident Management System • Periodically testing emergency systems not routinely used on a daily basis. • Practice emergency communications to maintain proficiency • Maintain notification rosters for CenCom 911, Kitsap DEM and other agencies to support response efforts. • Include communication discussions during preparedness training or public outreach programs. C. Response Activities Primary response activities include those to minimize the loss of lives and property damage. Restoration of communication systems is paramount to the safety and security of citizens in Kitsap County. They include • Respond during emergencies and manage system capabilities and repairs if needed. • Work within task forces to support on -scene communication needs • Keep the EOC informed of system availability • Provide situational reports to local agencies regarding restoration activities • Activate a Joint Information System (JIS) to support public information and instruction. D. Recovery Activities Recovery activities are important to the restoration of services and the welfare of Kitsap. It helps to return the County to normalcy by getting businesses open, schools open, and folks back to work. Recovery of emergency and public communication systems is essential to providing accurate and timely information Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 7 ESF — 2: Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo and instructions to the public. Recovery will involve the collaboration with state and federal agencies and working to potentially restore the entire Puget Sound Region, and specifically essential facilities, like hospitals. Recovery activities include: • Document Damage assessment and restoration profiles • Coordinate with local agencies to identify critical communication needs • Manage any communication allocation and distribution programs • Coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies during the implementation of catastrophic response and recovery plans • Coordinate with other ESFs to support their communication needs during an emergency.

Mutual aid is enhanced by planned communications methods that allow emergency response resources to utilize common frequencies. This phase of the plan is intended to make best use of currently accessible communications resources while looking ahead to changing conditions. New technologies and opportunities must be sought or by developing hybrid systems that further support our primary mission of coordination and collaboration among the Region 2 jurisdictions in the years ahead. PURPOSE The purpose of this interoperability design is to provide for two-way on -scene tactical operations and strategic support during a multi -discipline response to an emergency or disaster in Homeland Security Region 2, and to maximize existing communications resources, the national Interoperability Channels, and other common channels, for this purpose. This frequency use plan is intended to support an emergency involving two or more local response functions, and where communication is needed for the purpose of unified command and/or coordination. "Interoperability" is defined as the ability to talk across disciplines and jurisdictions via radio communications systems (voice or data) in real time. This plan envisions the maximum use of conventional two-way radio systems currently available. The plan will be modified as interoperable communications resources are developed over time. An implementation plan and resource inventory will be developed to define how each of the participants should configure their communications equipment and protocols to assure compatibility.

Washington State Homeland Security Region 2 Interoperable Communications Memorandum of Agreement for Shared Frequency Use. POLICIES A. The provisions of the Federal Communications Commission with regard to the use of licensed frequencies under this plan will be adhered to without exception. This includes the use of certain frequencies within the Canadian restriction zone. B. This plan recognizes the additional rules established by the Washington State Military Department, Emergency Management, or other license holders where appropriate, with regard to the proper use of these frequencies. C. Region -wide interoperability means that all responders can communicate with each other using their own radios no matter where in the region they respond. D. Standardization of frequency lists in each county in Region 2 is essential to implementation of this interoperability plan. Frequency arrangements will be identified in such a way as to simplify assignments on the fly. Standard terminology and common names cross- referenced to numeric designations will be used where possible. E. The assignment of common tactical frequencies will be determined on a non-interference basis to reduce conflicts with simultaneous use by adjacent communities. The State Emergency Management Division, licensee of the VTAC and UTAC channels, will make the final determination as to their use on a case -by -case basis. F. Participation in the Region 2 Interoperability Plan is voluntary. However, there are two factors to consider in making that decision: 1. Interoperability (including communications connectivity) is the highest priority of this region. Lack of participation will reduce the effectiveness of interoperability, which is inconsistent with the strategy. 2. Further Homeland Security funding for those agencies/jurisdictions that decline participation may be denied by the Region 2 Homeland Security Council. G. This plan is intended to be concurred with, coordinated, and executed by the public safety communications service providers of the Washington State Homeland Security Region 2 jurisdictions on behalf of their constituent response agencies. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 2 - 15 ESF — 2: Communications Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo ORGANIZATION A. This plan covers the interoperable communications needs of Washington State Homeland Security Region 2 (the counties of Kitsap, Clallam, and Jefferson, their constituent incorporated cities and emergency response agencies). B. For the purpose of clarity, communications types in Region 2 have been identified in four "tiers" each with a distinct purpose within the interoperability scheme: (See Attachment A) 1. TIER 1-A: EOC to EOC strategic communications systems (including telephony). 2. TIER 1-13: PSAP to PSAP initial coordination communications between Region 2 dispatch centers. 3. TIER 2: First responder notification and deployment (PSAP dispatching and resource tracking services and facilities). 4. TIER 3: Interoperability among first response agencies on scene (tactical operations). TIER 4: Alternative communications resources (other communications resources). CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Tier 1-A interoperability will be carried out by conventional telephony, augmented by satellite phones, videoconferencing, and other alternative communications resources, including Tier 4 (alternative) methods. B. Tier 1-13 coordination will be carried out by the conventional means. C. Daily operational frequencies will be programmed according to a standardized list for each county. Dispatch centers will assign resources to an incident as requested by the incident command agency, and advise them of a reporting/staging or on -scene tactical frequency. A Region 2 list of common frequencies available for assignment should be numbered separately to facilitate identification. D. Tier 3 tactical interoperability will be accomplished by the incident command agency assigning working frequencies to requested resources chosen from a master list. These frequencies will be pre-programmed into responder radio equipment, and identified using common use names or other regionally identifiable nomenclature. The implementation plan will identify pre -established "banks" or identify communications resources by use of common names.

The department is staffed by a director and over 60 employees operating under a policy board made up of elected officials from the county and the four cities, three fire representatives and the sheriff. Funds for the services provided are derived from each political subdivision, from nonmember agencies and departments that receive services, from sales tax, and from E9-1-1 tax collections. The primary responsibilities of CENCOM are as follows: The planning, organizing, installation, maintenance, and administration of a central dispatch facility to provide efficient communications and dispatch services to law enforcement, fire, EMS, and other agencies. Provide citizen access and 24- hour answering of emergencies through the E9-1-1 reporting system for the safety of life and protection of property. 2. CENCOM also provides support dispatch and paging service to some county and city road districts, street and sewer departments, the Coroner, Emergency Management, and several others. Tapes and expert witness services are provided for user departments. Coordination assistance is provided to the various governmental agencies for the purchase, maintenance, and operation of their systems. 4. The department serves four cities, six fire districts and two tribes. All of the phone lines going in to CENCOM are enhanced E9-1-1 lines, serving approximately 240,000 persons residing in or passing through Kitsap County. All calls going in to CENCOM are tape recorded for use by the responding and investigating departments. All Central Communications Department personnel are trained in law enforcement and fire dispatch procedures, as well as emergency medical dispatching. They provide emergency medical pre -arrival instruction by telephone prior to the arrival of the EMT or paramedic units. There is direct access via the E9-1-1 emergency number for the speech and hearing -impaired using the teletype (TTY) for the deaf and hard of hearing.

PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. A major emergency or disaster may cause extensive damage to property and the infrastructure. Structures may be destroyed or severely weakened. Homes, public buildings, bridges, and other facilities may have to be reinforced or demolished to ensure safety. Debris may make streets and highways impassable. Public utilities may be damaged or be partially or fully inoperable. B. Access to the disaster areas may be dependent upon the re-establishment of ground routes. In many locations debris clearance and emergency road repairs will be given top priority to support immediate lifesaving emergency response activities. C. Rapid damage assessment of the disaster area will be required to determine potential workload. D. Assistance from the federal government may be needed to clear debris, perform damage assessments and/or structural evaluations, make emergency repairs to essential public facilities, reduce hazards by stabilizing or demolishing structures, and provide emergency water for human health needs and firefighting. E. Emergency environmental waivers and legal clearances may be needed for disposal of materials from debris clearance and demolition activities for the protection of threatened public and private improvements. F. Significant numbers of personnel with engineering and construction skills along with construction equipment and materials may be required from outside the disaster area. G. Aftershocks require re-evaluation of previously assessed structures and damages. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Local 1. Kitsap County Public Works and Department of Community Development (DCD) Directors or their designees will serve as the primary coordinators of the public works and engineering function for Kitsap County. When the EOC is activated, they will send assigned staff to coordinate activities. Other County departments may be contacted to provide manpower, equipment, or technical advice. 2. Communications to Public Works and DCD in the field will be accomplished by the most efficient means. 3. Supplemental public works assistance may be requested through normal mutual aid channels or through the EOC. County PW and DCD will Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 3 - 3 ESF — 3: Public Works and Engineering Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo coordinate efforts with City PWs and City Planners. 4. Kitsap County Public Works is the lead agency for coordinating emergency inspection and repair of roads, bridges, storm water and wastewater facilities in unincorporated Kitsap County. DCD is the lead agency for coordinating the inspection of building structures in unincorporated Kitsap County after a disaster to determine building safety and health issues. This will be a cooperative effort with other departments and jurisdictions, and with engineering experts from the private sector. 6. DCD is the lead agency for the Kitsap County permitting system in coordination with Public Health - Environmental Services. DCD responds to disasters in the following phases: Phase 1. Initial Damage Assessment Provide teams of inspectors to sweep affected areas and report to the EOC Phase 2. Emergency Permitting and Inspections Expedite Permitting Center and field operations for emergency operations to: a. Review damages and assist application process b. Issue permits C. Permit construction d. Provide inspections Phase 3. Abandoned Buildings a. Identification b. Inspection C. Coordinate demolition d. Legal process B. State 1. Washington State Emergency Management alerts appropriate state agencies of the possible requirement for emergency engineering services, coordinates state assets and requests federal assistance to support local emergency engineering efforts. State departments/agencies that support the emergency engineering effort are identified in ESF 3, Public Works Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 3 - 4 ESF — 3: Public Works and Engineering Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo and Engineering Services of the Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. . 2. State government will provide engineering services primarily to lands and facilities under its jurisdiction and will lend support to local government as requested and as circumstances allow. Supplemental assistance shall be requested through local and state emergency management channels. C. Federal 1. The National Response Framework, ESF #3 - Public Works and Engineering provides for the federal response and support to assist state and local government. The primary federal agencies are the Department of Defense (DOD) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for planning, preparedness, and response with assistance to be provided by other branches as needed. In the event of federal activation, Kitsap County will coordinate with other local, state, and federal agencies. 2. If direct federal assistance has been authorized by the President under an Emergency or Major Disaster Declaration, FEMA may issue a mission assignment to those federal agencies possessing the needed expertise or assets, only when it is verified to be beyond the capability of the affected state and local governments. D. Private Contract with engineers and contractors as needed. V. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Mitigation Activities It is the responsibility of County/City Governments to mitigate, when possible to reduce disruption to their systems caused by hazards in the Puget Sound Region. Collaborating with Kitsap County Emergency Management on matters affecting buildings and hazard vulnerabilities is essential to improved response measures. Other efforts to improve technology or remove barriers to restoration can help to mitigate losses and reduce restoration times which help the community to return to normalcy. B. Preparedness Activities Preparedness measures should include personal, family and facility preparedness to ensure employees can respond to emergencies. This includes: • Having a plan in place for response to emergencies • Participation in training and exercises Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 3 - 5 ESF — 3: Public Works and Engineering Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo • Train engineers in ATC 20/10 Pre and Post Evaluation of Structures Affected by Seismic Events • Understanding and participating in the National Incident Management System • Working with local emergency management prior to winter storm systems to improve response efforts. • Maintain notification rosters for CenCom 911, Kitsap DEM and other agencies to support response efforts. • Developing public awareness programs for pipeline safety for hazard identification, safety, and emergency notification to minimize life safety measures. C. Response Activities Primary response activities include those to minimize the loss of lives and property damage. Restoration of infrastructure and systems is paramount to the safety of security and citizens in Kitsap County. They include • Respond during emergencies as requested by 911 and local responders • Work within a task force with local responders to eliminate unsafe environments • Provide a liaison in the County or City Emergency Operations Center • Provide situational reports to local agencies regarding restoration activities D. Recovery Activities Recovery activities are important to the restoration of services and the welfare of Kitsap. It helps to return the County to normalcy by getting businesses open, schools open, and folks back to work. Recovery will involve the collaboration with state and federal agencies and working to potentially restore the entire Puget Sound Region, and specifically essential facilities, like hospitals. Recovery activities include: • Document Damage assessment and restoration profiles • Coordinate with local agencies to identify critical lifeline needs • Coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies during the implementation of catastrophic response and recovery plans • Coordinate with other ESFs in support of mass care, health and medical and long term community recovery.

Purpose To provide an organizational framework that will effectively utilize all available fire fighting apparatus and personnel within Kitsap County, control the dispatching of such equipment and manpower to localities where needed, and provide for effective operations at the scene during an emergency/disaster. B. Scope This Emergency Support Function (ESF) addresses all firefighting activities including the detection and suppression of wildland, rural, and urban fires occurring separately or coincidentally with a significant natural or technological disaster. The scope of this section will not attempt to address details regarding mutual aid and regional fire mobilization responsibilities and procedures that are contained in other documents. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 4 - 1 ESF — 4: Firefighting Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo II. RELATED POLICIES A. During emergency situations, local fire agencies mobilize all available apparatus and personnel required to mitigate the incident. Mutual Aid Agreements, as outlined in RCW 39.34.030, are activated when an agency's initial resources are inadequate to mitigate the incident. When mutual aid and organic resources are exhausted, then the provisions for regional/state fire mobilization apply. B. Each local, state or federal agency will assume the full cost of protection of the lands within its respective boundaries unless other arrangements are made. Fire protection agencies should not incur costs in jurisdictions outside their area without reimbursement unless there is a local mutual aid agreement between those jurisdictions. It is essential that the issue of financial limitation be clarified through proper official channels for efficient execution of fire support. C. Priority shall be given to saving lives, stabilizing the incident, and protecting property, in that order. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. Urban, rural, and wildland fires will occur within Kitsap County. In the event of an earthquake or other significant event, large, damaging fires could be common. B. In a disaster, some firefighting resources will become scarce or damaged. C. Wheeled -vehicle access may be hampered by bridge failures, landslides, etc., making conventional travel to the fire locations extremely difficult or impossible. Aerial attack by air tankers, helicopters, and smoke jumpers may be essential in these situations. Helicopters will be scarce resources and usable airports congested. D. Regional, State and other outside resources may be called upon to mitigate the incident. E. Efficient and effective mutual aid among the various local, county, state, and federal fire agencies requires the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) together with compatible firefighting equipment and communications. F. Many first responders in Kitsap County are volunteers and may not be available to assist during major disasters. Volunteers are not obligated to leave a family crisis or their workplace to assist with emergency efforts. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Fire suppression is divided into two distinct response categories: 1. Urban/Rural Fires Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 4 - 2 ESF — 4: Firefighting Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo a. Local fire protection districts and municipal fire departments have the primary responsibility for the suppression and control of fires within their respective fire protection jurisdictions. For those incidents requiring additional support, mutual aid agreements may be executed. b. In 1992 the State Legislature created of a State Fire Services Mobilization Plan (RCW 43.43.961) to deal with the growing problem of wild land/urban (WUI) interface fires. This action also called for the establishment of the State Fire Defense Board, made up of representatives from nine fire defense regions throughout the state. As part of the South Puget Sound Region, Kitsap County has developed a companion plan to the regional and state documents that address situations exceeding mutual aid agreements. C. Fire suppression and control assistance may, in some instances, be provided on a limited basis by federal agencies and the military by pre -established mutual aid agreements. (Reference Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.) d. If an urban fire threatens or is likely to become a fire of major magnitude, assistance may be available from the Federal Government under an emergency declaration by the President. Requests for such assistance are handled through normal Emergency Management channels. 2. Forest Fires a. The State Department of Natural Resources and all supporting agencies, per the Washington State Fire Plan, take action on all wildfires, regardless of land ownership, which jeopardize DNR protected lands outside incorporated cities and towns and on adjacent U.S. Forest Service and Department of the Interior protected areas. b. A fire protection district may take immediate action on DNR (State) protected lands outside of its jurisdictional boundaries per established agreements and/or contracts. C. Fire agencies, in addition to having 24-hour operational capability, have two-way radio communication links between their respective mobile units and the county Emergency Operations Center (EOC). D. Fire units, with the use of their sirens and public address systems, are a valuable resource for disseminating warning and emergency information, and will do so when requested by the county EOC, unless otherwise involved. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 4 - 3 ESF — 4: Firefighting Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsho E. All fire agencies within Kitsap County operate response vehicles which have the capability of Advanced Life Support (ALS) and/or Basic Life Support (BLS). In addition, all areas are supplemented by private ambulance service which provides Basic Life Support transport. F. The Incident Command System (ICS) is used by many first responders and local jurisdictions in the State of Washington to manage an emergency incident. ICS is required by SARA Title III and Washington State Law to manage any hazardous material incident. The purpose of ICS is to establish a command and control with a system, which is recognized by all responders, using the same organization, and the same nomenclature. The ranking member of the first arriving response unit assumes command until relieved. An Incident Command Post (ICP) is established as the focal point for all emergency operations. The ICS system will be used in Kitsap County by first responders. In a disaster, several ICS units may be established to manage the significant areas of need. When dictated by incident needs, Unified Command will be established between agencies with joint jurisdictional responsibilities. G. The Kitsap County Fire Chiefs Association will provide a fire representative to fulfill fire coordination responsibilities within the county EOC during an emergency/ disaster. H. Fire agencies may request activation of the DEM Communications Van (Com Van) through the EOC. The Corn Van will be available providing it is not committed in an alternate or forward emergency operations center role. I. Fire agencies may request activation of other local agency resources, such as Alternate Communication System (amateur radio), Search and Rescue units or Critical Incident Stress Management teams. These resources will be made available if not otherwise available. All non-traditional resource requests should be made to the County EOC. The Kitsap County Changing Gears Plan was designed to manage 911 priority requests during high volume events. As such, during emergencies, a request to "change gears" may be done through the 911 Center, Fire agency, or KCDEM. Once ordered, changing gears would realign 911 request and response to maximize priority 1 and 2 responses. Additionally, changing gears will also activate Fire District Area Command Centers to manage fire assets during emergencies. Fire agencies responsible for unincorporated cities may provide a fire representative to the city EOC if activated, or a city representative to the Fire ACC to maximize coordination among responding agencies. V. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Mitigation Activities Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 4 - 4 ESF — 4: Firefighting Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo It is the responsibility of all agencies to mitigate, when possible to improve their disaster resiliency and subsequently provide optimal response capabilities during an emergency/disaster in Kitsap County. Collaborating with Kitsap County Emergency Management on matters affecting fire mitigation opportunities is essential to improved response measures. Fire and other agencies mentioned in this ESF have been active members of the Kitsap County Mitigation program designed to identify opportunities to mitigate facilities, reduce the effects of hazards and increase restoration efforts. Finally, all fire agencies can mitigate fire hazards through ongoing fire prevention programs and outreach to the community. B.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose To define the emergency management roles and responsibilities of the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) during emergencies and disasters and to detail the facility, technology, personnel, communication and coordination systems critical to the response and recovery from events. B. Scope This Emergency Support Function (ESF-5) applies to the systematic approach of the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for assessing a disastrous or potentially disastrous situation and activating related response and planning efforts. ESF-5 is generally active upon any activation of the County EOC for emergency operations. This ESF-5 will be implemented in concert with other ESFs applicable to the emergency and particularly ESF-2, Communications, and ESF-14, Long -Term Community Recovery. The Emergency Management ESF-5 is responsible for supporting the overall activities of the incident, and maintains Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 1 ESF — 5: Emergency Management II. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo the core management, coordination and administrative functions to resolve and recover from the event. RELATED POLICIES The basic plan outlines the related policies associated with the establishment and functions of emergency management in accordance with RCW 38.52. Some essential points include: A. County Commissioners and City Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer„ or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, entrust the Director of Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management or in their absence, The Operations Coordinator to manage response operations and cooperate with local jurisdictions, volunteer's organizations and the private sector to responds and recover from an emergency. B. When a disaster occurs, the County/Cities shall have the power to enter into contracts and incur obligations necessary to combat such disaster, protecting the health and safety of persons and property, and providing emergency assistance to the victims of such disaster. C. The political subdivision is authorized to exercise the powers vested under this section in the light of the existence of an extreme emergency situation without regard to time-consuming procedures and formalities prescribed by law (excepting mandatory constitutional requirements), including, but not limited to, budget law limitations, requirements of competitive bidding and publication of notices, provisions pertaining to the performance of public work, entering into contracts, the incurring of obligations, the employment of temporary workers, the rental of equipment, the purchase of supplies and materials, the levying of taxes, and the appropriation and expenditures of public funds. D. The Board of County Commissioners and City Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer„ or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, are directed to utilize the services, equipment, supplies, and facilities of existing departments, offices, and agencies of the state, political subdivisions, and all other municipal corporations thereof, including, but not limited to, districts and quasi municipal corporations organized under the laws of the state of Washington to the maximum extent practicable, and the officers and personnel of all such departments, offices, and agencies are directed to cooperate with and extend such services and facilities upon request notwithstanding any other provision of law. E. The Board of County Commissioners and City Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer„ or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer„ in the event of a disaster, after proclamation by the governor of the existence of such disaster, shall have the power to command the service and equipment of as many citizens as considered necessary in the light of the disaster proclaimed, provided that citizens so commandeered shall be entitled during the period of such service Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 2 ESF — 5: Emergency Management Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo to all privileges, benefits and immunities as are provided by RCW 38.52 and federal and state emergency management regulations for registered emergency workers. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. To identify urgent response requirements during a disaster, or the threat of one, and to plan for continuing response, recovery and mitigation activities, there will be an immediate and continuing need to train and exercise personnel who can work effectively under adverse conditions in the EOC and collect, process and disseminate situational information and provide a coordinated effort to resolve or stabilize the emergency. B. The Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management will maintain an Emergency Operations Center as the central coordination center for all emergency activities in the County. It will communicate and coordinate with other support agencies to provide information and resources until the situation is resolved. Kitsap County EOC works within a Multi -Agency Coordination System (MACS) in support of disasters in the county and coordinates with other county emergency coordination centers and state and federal support organizations. C. The Kitsap County EOC is an all -hazards response organization. It utilizes the Incident Command Systems (ICS) to manage an event in the County. Although the 4 cities of Kitsap County have their own EOCs, Kitsap County supports their efforts through training, planning and supporting events localized in their jurisdictions. During EOC operations, when ESFs are activated, Cities may provide representatives to support ESF operations. D. All Kitsap County Government agencies, Cities, and supporting agencies have responsibility for ensuring that adequate disaster supplies and equipment are available for department staff (preparedness). E. Kitsap County residents, businesses, industry, tribes, and public sector may need to pursue their own resources and be self-sufficient following a disaster for a minimum of three days, possibly longer. F. The use of Memorandum of Understanding/Agreements will be utilized at the lowest level of response whenever possible. G. Lack of good information, communication outages, and damaged infrastructure could severely hamper response and coordination during serious disasters. H. Catastrophic events, either localized or regional, may require significant resource support and the activation of national inter -state response systems or the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Plan. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 3 ESF — 5: Emergency Management Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General Operations 1. Whenever any part of Kitsap County is threatened by a hazard that could lead to disaster, or when a disaster situation exists, the County EOC will be activated at the appropriate level to assess the situation. The activities and procedures to activate and operate the County EOC are provided in Annex B to CEMP 2015. Cities, based on the circumstances of the event, may activate their EOC per their Emergency Operations Plan. Attachment A provides a brief on Kitsap County response processes, roles and responsibilities and related references. 2. Under most circumstances, activation of the EOC will be at the discretion of the DEM Director or Operations Coordinator and based on the circumstances of the event. Should a City EOC activate, the County EOC will activate to support the City's response to the event. Circumstances of the event will also dictate the size of the activation. The Kitsap County Emergency Operating Plan (Annex B) outlines phases of activation, personnel assignments and the management of the EOC. 3. During normal day to day operations, the DEM Staff provides a 24/7 Duty Officer to support the initial actions necessary for coordination of single events like a hazardous materials spill, or the activation of the EOC for an earthquake. Those procedures are provided in Annex B to the Basic Plan. 4. Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management works closely with CenCom 911 and local fire. This relationship is important to the initial emergency response and continued effective communications and coordination of an event. As such, The County implements a Changing Gears Plan which under extraordinary events activates the County's Area Command Plan to decentralize communications and coordination to the 6 local fire districts. These districts help to support resource management of numerous incidents, damage assessments, and priority planning and work directly with the county EOC. 5. Once the EOC is activated, it will remain so and managed by the Incident Command Team (IMT) through recovery operations. Generally, as the event escalates, the Disaster Manager will determine the number of personnel required for the event and the phase response. The EOC may begin using ICS basic principles of management, but may transition to ESFs to accommodate significant functional response capabilities. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 4 ESF 5 — Emergency Management B. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo General EOC Response and Recovery Operations Response The Incident Command System has been implemented throughout the County for all agencies and organizations responsible for emergency response and recovery. This insures consistency among all responding agencies and the ability to meld into an existing incident command team. Those assigned to incident command teams or organizations must be trained and credentialed as required by the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 and 8 and Kitsap County DEM training and credentialing directives. 2. The incident command team will be made up of DEM staff, County Employees and trained volunteers who are authorized to manage county resources as necessary to stabilize and resolve the event. The EOC will be operated in accordance with the Kitsap County EOP and related standard operating procedures. These procedures include those for communications and warning, response to a variety of emergencies, use of EOC technology, and EOC staffing. 4. City EOCs will operate in the same fashion and in accordance with their City Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). Cites may combine with their local fire agency to support better communications and coordination within the City. Cities may not have the personnel resources to manage all EOC operations and as such are not expected to activate ESFs. As such, the City may provide a liaison to the County EOC or to an active ESFs and support cities policies, decisions and resources support during an event. The EOC will be staffed with DEM staff and IMT teams, county government employees, local agencies and jurisdictions, and liaisons from local, state, and federal agencies as necessary for the hazard. Attachment B provides typical positions for those who have a role or responsibility in the County EOC. Similar staffing guides are provided in each of the City EOPs. The Kitsap County EOP is the governing document for all tactical operations for response to disasters in Kitsap County. It includes numerous annexes that delineate the responsibilities of DEM Duty Officers, EOC operations, communications; ICS position checklists, unified command, and transitioning to the Alternate EOC. 7. In the event that the disaster is so complex or large and the current EOC is unable to manage the event effectively, the alternate EOC may be activated to support a much larger venue. The Alternate EOC is the Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 5 ESF 5 — Emergency Management Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Kitsap County Fairgrounds Pavilion located on Fairgrounds Rd, Bremerton, WA. The Kitsap County EOP provides procedures and responsibilities for all personnel responsible for the setup and transition to the alternate EOC. Cities will have similar plans for alternate an EOC in the event, the primary EOC is unavailable. 8. The EOC will plan for ADA, elderly, children, people with English as a second language and all other vulnerabilities citizens' may experience in everyday life or encounter as the result of a disaster by referring to the Vulnerable Population Annex H. 9. The EOC will conduct emergency companion animal evacuation and transportation as per the Pets and Evacuation and Sheltering Standards of 2006, PL. 109-308 Recovery 1. The Disaster Manager will determine when the recovery phase has begun and will transition the EOC accordingly. This may entail the activation of damage assessment centers for public and private damage, the continuation of mass care response, and the recovery of county infrastructure. 2. Recovery operations begin with the incident command system transitioning to recovery and the incorporation of any federal and state teams. When ready, the Incident Manager will activate the County's Recovery Plan (Annex D) and manage the plan from the EOC. Recovery Operations will continue until such time it can be transitioned to the DEM staff and the EOC is deactivated. V. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES A. Mitigation Activities Kitsap County mitigation activities are provided in Annex A of the CEMP, Kitsap County/City Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan. It is the responsibility of the County and Cities, when possible to reduce disruption to their systems caused by hazards in their jurisdictions. Mitigation principles are part of many County and City plans that manage lands, properties and processes to comply with local, state and federal regulations and provide a safe environment for its citizens. Efforts to remove barriers to restoration can help to mitigate losses and reduce restoration times which helps the community return to normalcy. B. Preparedness Activities Preparedness measures should include personal, family and facility preparedness to ensure employees can respond to emergencies. Homeland security initiatives Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 6 ESF — 5: Emergency Management Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo and RCW requirements outline the preparedness activities of Emergency Management.

C. Response Activities Primary response activities are outlined in Attachment A and Kitsap County and City EOPs designed to provide strategic and tactical response to emergencies. Regardless of the emergency, each entity will have the same initial priorities of 1) life safety, 2) stabilize the event, and 3) protect the economy and environment. Essentially, County/City response includes basic processes: • Notification of EOC personnel and County Leadership • Activating EOCs and if necessary the Multi -Agency Coordination Network depending on the size and complexity of the emergency. • Communicate and coordinate among agencies • Provide public information and instruction to the citizens of Kitsap • Integrate with responding local, state and federal personnel. D. Recovery Activities Recovery activities are important to the restoration of services and the welfare of Kitsap. It helps to return the County to normalcy by getting businesses open, schools open, and folks back to work. Recovery will involve collaboration with state and federal agencies and working to potentially restore the entire Puget Sound Region, and specifically, essential facilities, like hospitals. Recovery activities include: • Document Damage assessment and restoration profiles • Coordinate with local agencies to identify critical resource needs • Restore critical lifelines Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 7 ESF 5 — Emergency Management Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies during the implementation of catastrophic response and recovery plans Coordinate with other ESFs in support of mass care, health and medical and long term community recovery.

Annex B to the CEMP, Kitsap County Emergency Operations Plan provides specific details on EOC operations from general policy to individualized checklists. General Information Each of the numerous plans and procedures in Attachment C is a piece of the emergency response and recovery system guiding responders from a variety of organizations to act during an emergency. As part of a comprehensive preparedness program, planning for response to hazards requires an approved structured and defined response to maximize the communication, coordination, and control to save lives and minimize damage as a result of the event. This begins with a structured response network made up of responders from many agencies all trained and exercised within the system defined in Kitsap County using the fundamentals of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS). When a disaster occurs, it is anticipated that Kitsap County/City departments, other jurisdictions, first response agencies and organizations will break down their areas of responsibility into manageable units, assess what has happened, what can be done about it and what is needed. This information is sent by whatever means available to the EOC. When resources cannot meet the needs created by a disaster, additional assistance may be requested through normal mutual aid or through the EOC. Additional resources supporting county operations may be located at staging areas until a specific assignment is made (see ESF-7). If the situation is, or may become, beyond the capabilities of the resources of Kitsap County and those provided through mutual aid, the City Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, or Board of County Commissioners may request assistance from the Governor, or from the federal government, through the Governor. As the coordinating entity for resources, DEM through the EOC will request assistance from Washington State through State Emergency Management Division. Depending on the size and complexity of the emergency, the Governor may follow up with a State Proclamation of Emergency and request assistance from the Federal Government. The DEM Director is responsible for hazard assessment and how it affects the citizens of the Cities/County. Local first responders, generally fire and law, will respond as directed by Central Communications/911 to save lives and stabilize the event. Depending on the size and complexity of the emergency, the DEM Director will activate the EOC to a phase of operation commensurate with the magnitude of the emergency and bring in county employees and agency representatives into the EOC and provide resource coordination. Phases are noted in Exhibit A-1 summarizing increasing resource needs and advanced response based on increasing emergency complexity and size.

The DEM Director of his/her successor will determine the need to activate the EOC and what "phase" is appropriate to meet the needs of the County. EOC activation is generally done if: • There is a emergency that warrants activation of the EOC • A City activates their EOC • CenCom 911 Fire Area Commands activate Phase II of the Changing Gears Plan • An adjourning County has an emergency and may need assistance from Kitsap County • Any other event that may warrant a need to provide assistance to another agency in Kitsap County Once the decision is made to activate, DEM staff will take the following actions using the EOC Startup Kit located in the EOC. This kit provides a series of actions necessary to prioritize activation of the EOC as follows: • Notifying EOC personnel --Conduct notification of EOC staff including updating the EOC hotline Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 13 ESF 5 — Emergency Management Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Setting up the EOC--set up the EOC for incoming personnel. Capturing Event Information --Work with affected jurisdictions and 911 to capture information regarding the event. Check -in, assignment and briefings --check in arriving personnel, assign to EOC positions, and brief on the emergency. Generally, the DEM Director or his/her successor will act as Disaster Manager and coordinate response and recovery actions. Under these circumstances the DEM staff/IMT will provide initial staffing until it has been determined that additional personnel with unique expertise or representatives of affected agencies are requested to support the EOC. Staffing will be determined by the complexity of the event based on the concept of "scaling" to allow EOC resources to increase or decrease based on the needs of the event. Exhibit A-2 is an organizational chart for the County EOC. Similar charts are structured for each city EOC based on their capabilities and designed EOC format. Additional information is provided in Attachment 3 to this ESF. Exhibit A-3 shows the organizational relationship among entities that support activation of the County EOC. The organizational chart depicts the relationship of primary ICS functions in the EOC and organizations that support EOC operations in Kitsap.

Exhibit A-4 is a graphical view of the County multi -agency response network. It shows the numerous EOC/ECCs that represent major organizations in Kitsap during emergency response. Designing the network before an emergency is critical to effective communication, coordination and command and control. In the preparedness phase of emergency management principles, training, exercising, and collaborating among network entities establishes relationships early on and before the disaster. Under no circumstances does the Kitsap County EOC or any component within the EOC have over-riding authority of the on -scene incident or area commander. Once activated, Kitsap County EOC becomes the coordinating center for support from state and federal responding organizations. As a coordinating EOC, the County EOC will house representatives from various agencies who provide expertise, decision making, and improved communications with support agencies and organizations. If the event is large and requires increased span of control, the Disaster Manager may activate Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) to respond to key functional issues essential to life support and/or lifelines. City EOCs, because of limited number of city employees will generally activate an EOC to support response actions. As the event stabilizes, the County EOC may activate certain ESFs and assumes responsibility of short and long term recovery operations.

Catastrophic events will require intense resource needs and subsequently resource management will be critical to providing basic needs to citizens affected by the event. As such, ongoing catastrophic planning like the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Plan will help coordinate critical resources to minimize competition and conflicts between affected jurisdictions. As noted in the basic ESF-5, a series of proclamations of emergency beginning at the local level, allows for greater capabilities to respond to emergencies. Once the President declares a disaster, The Stafford Act of 1986 will provide for public and private assistance for disaster affected communities. A Presidential declaration of Disaster and activation of the Federal National Response and Recovery Network, will establish an expansion of the existing response and recovery system as noted in Exhibit A-5. State and Federal responders will integrate into Kitsap's activated ESFs including ESF-15 Recovery, to support ongoing short and long term recovery services.

Essential services like shelter, food and water will require ESF-6 and 8 to continue operations, the need for search and rescue ESF-9, or security and protection ESF-13 may define the ongoing operations in the EOC. The EOC manager will demobilize assets not required and plan for long term operations beginning with damage assessments of infrastructure, private homes and businesses. As other State and Federal agencies arrive in Kitsap, it may be necessary to move operations to the County Fairgrounds and establish operation in the Kitsap Pavilion. ESF-5 will continue to operate out of the primary EOC. Recovery operations will continue to such a time that operations can be demobilized and continued by the DEM staff. Summary Response to disasters is the responsibility of all government entities. It requires all agencies to focus on life saving priorities until such a time the citizens are safe and have essential resources to maintain life and feel secure in their environment. Only through ongoing planning efforts, training and exercising together can we achieve adequate standards of response to achieve these goals. Working within National Incident Management standards and understanding the capabilities of Kitsap County, can we successfully respond and recover from hazardous events. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 5 - 17 ESF 5 — Emergency Management Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo ESF-5 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Attachment B: EOC Organization and Staffing Organizational Structure The Kitsap County EOC is designed to support the Incident Command Structure. It is co -located with the County 911 Center complementing the coordination to emergency response activities. As noted in Attachment A, the DEM Director will determine, based on the size and complexity of the disaster, the need for activation and bring in appropriate personnel to support EOC operations. The Incident Command System provides the necessary structure to define resource requirements in the EOC. Personnel who are assigned to EOC operations are trained and credentialed by KCDEM to work in the EOC. Standard ICS practice begins with the DEM Staff notified through the 911 Center of an ongoing event or the need to pre-empt an event by preparing for it. Regardless, the DEM Director or on -call duty officer would receive notification and enough information to make a decision on EOC activation. Exhibit 13-1 and B-2 are layouts of the EOC and JIC noting its ICS components. There is some room for expansion for the activation of ESFs. In addition to the EOC, the 91 I/DEM facility provides space for the Joint Information Center. This center will be managed by the Public Information Officer (PIO) and members of the County's PIO Taskforce, again based on the seriousness of the event. EOC Staffing Exhibit B-2 shows a relationship of staffing based on Phase activation of the EOC. EOC operations will transition from basic ICS principles to the activation of ESFs followed by large and complex operations with numerous stakeholders at various governmental levels. Exhibit B-3 is the EOC Organizational Chart. The Chart, is based on ICS with exceptions to accommodate special circumstances in EOC operations. For example, an EOC Manager is assigned to manage EOC processes, including incident action plans, briefings, and technology. Exhibit B-3 also shows the expected assignment of County employees. County employees have essential roles bringing their expertise from their day-to-day job into the EOC. Some play roles based on the emergency and response like Law enforcement or Public Works. Others have responsibilities as part of an ESF or recovery operations. Summary EOC staffing can be complex and overwhelming and in large event, quickly exhausted. A major event will require a minimum of 1 week of 24 hour EOC operations. Identification and assignment of personnel to the EOC is an important aspect of disaster preparedness. Every effort should be made to have a continuing program of training and exercising of EOC personnel.

Each County and City EOC begins with the Emergency Operation Plan. It provides specific information on operational systems, staffing, protocols and other essential functions like communications to respond to events. It is generally broken down by functional areas to support a myriad of procedures and checklists for each individual who has a function in the EOC. Exhibit I-1 of the Basic Plan provides a menu of many plans that fall under the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Most of the plans listed in the exhibit are associated with emergency operations before, during, and after an event. The plans include: Response Plans County/City EOP and Annexes Standard Operating Procedures for specific hazards response Special plans for Emergency Alerting Systems and Amber Alerts Technology Instructions: operating the EOC Joint Information Center Manual ICS Position Checklists Elected and Senior Official Operating Guide Recovery Plans Kitsap County Recovery Plan Debris Management Plan Damage Assessment Plan Continuity of Operations Plan Many other plans all have a place in disaster response and each written to provide guidance or procedures in response to specific hazards in Kitsap. As these plans are written or revised, they are designed to mirror or complement other local agency, State or Federal response plans and the National Response and Recovery Network.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose To coordinate efforts to provide mass care services of sheltering, feeding, the distribution of emergency supplies and the assistance in family reunification following a major emergency or disaster to persons unable to provide for themselves. B. Scope This Emergency Support Function (ESF) addresses basic sheltering and feeding needs in Kitsap County and city jurisdictions during a major emergency or disaster and the coordination of opening of shelters and the provision of other mass care services through the county Emergency Operations Center (EOC). II. POLICIES A. It is the policy of the government of Kitsap County to provide emergency management functions and resources to minimize the loss of life, protect property and the environment with the assistance of the four cities as designated by RCW 38.52.

The American Red Cross will provide staff, shelters, and supplies as resources allow in accordance with the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-288, as amended by the Stafford Act). C. Family Reunification is provided by the American Red Cross through the Safe and Well website. D. All mass care shelters and services will attempt (without guarantee) to meet current requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and revised ADA regulation Implementing Title II and Title III. E. The Kitsap County Animal Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan describes those actions that will provide services for pets and series animal (to the best of its ability) to accommodate the sheltering of people with pets after a disaster as per the National Pets Evacuation and Transportations Standards Act of 2006. F. Functional Assessment Support Team (FAST) Notification/Mobilization Procedures will activate the team as requested by the lead or support agency to provide assistance at the shelters. III. SITUATION A. Emergency/Disaster Conditions and Hazards Although severe winter storms continue to be our major events, our greatest risk continues to be earthquakes. As such, the Department of Emergency Management continues to prepare our staff and public for the next significant earthquake. 2. Except for isolated incidents (fire, hazardous material incident) there is no hazard identified that would require an entire evacuation of Kitsap County and its four cities including terrorist events. Kitsap County plans for all -hazards response utilizing the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) and by training all response personnel utilizing the Incident Command System. 4. There are some events that may require temporary shelter and citizen support for stranded citizens. KCDEM along with the ARC and other partners have established a system of temporary shelters and services for winter storms or hazardous materials events to provide temporary "warming" or "severe winter" sheltering. B. Planning Assumptions Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 6 - 2 ESF — 6: Mass Care, Emergency Assistance, Temp Housing and Human Services Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 1. Mass care requirements during an emergency or disaster may overwhelm and impact local social service and support agencies. 2. Depending on the hazard and the severity of its effects, Kitsap County may have limited numbers of shelters or resources to manage shelters. The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility guidelines will be adhered to as the disaster situation allows. Accommodations may have to be altered temporarily until the situation can be rectified. The American Red Cross will coordinate mass care sheltering during an emergency or disaster. If the Red Cross cannot provide all of the services needed, victims will be referred to community, church, or other social service shelters that may be opened. State and federal resource assistance will be requested. 4. Available shelter locations will be identified through local media and social media resources. The opening of American Red Cross shelters for all jurisdictions will be coordinated through the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General Identify and describe the action that will be taken to identify, open, and staff shelters to support the dislocated citizens. B. Organization 1. During small disasters the Red Cross in partnership with the affected jurisdiction or the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) will provide shelter and mass care service coordination through the chapter headquarters, in accordance with their Chapter Disaster Response Plan, as appropriate to their operational capacity. 2. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-6 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. 3. When larger -scale disasters impact and overwhelm the community, the local jurisdictions will open their EOC's in coordination with the activation of KCDEM's EOC.

Mass care includes such basic human needs as emergency shelter; emergency provisions of food, water, first aid supplies, and other essential needs and will be provided to all citizens without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability. 5. The ESF-6 Coordinator at the EOC has primary responsibility for maintaining situational awareness of mass care services needed during an incident and activating the Functional Assessment Service Team (FAST) if the need arise. This will include tracking the status of mass care activities, filling mission assignments and resource requests as needed. 6. KCDEM and the American Red Cross (ARC) will share information and coordinate identifying those impacted by the disaster, and disaster assistance inquiries, and act together as one voice for public releases. 7. With the cooperation of the Kitsap County Humane Society, a jurisdictional pet plan found in Annex H of the CEMP will define pet sheltering and the handling of pets without owners. In cooperation with the American Red Cross, Kitsap County government will coordinate with local cities, agencies, churches, institutions, commercial facilities, and volunteer organizations for mass care resources and facility support and mutual aid. 9. Post disaster interim housing will be determined in coordination with ESF- 14, Long -Term Community Recovery and Mitigation 10. Community Points of Distribution will be established, if needed, in the EOC coordinating with the following ESF's (1, 5, 7, 13, and 15) C. Procedures Checklists, position descriptions, and standard operating procedures can be found on the EOC server or as hard copy in the EOC. D. Prevention and Mitigation Activities The American Red Cross maintains a list of assessed facilities that could serve the community in times of need. The Kitsap Peninsula and Bainbridge Island is host to warming stations that can be used after a major disaster during daylight hours only before dormitory shelters are established. Caches of cots, food, utensils, etc. are maintained in strategic locations throughout the county. Emergency Management has two trailers equipped to provide power, lighting and heat in ad hoc shelters as needed. See the Hazard Mitigation Plan for more information.

Preparedness Activities Support Strategies for High -Risk Populations are outlined in the Vulnerable Population Annex J of the CEMP. 2. Regular shelter training and shelter list maintenance are in the Chapter Disaster Sheltering Plan. KCDEM will provide EOC training for all 4 cities and the county on an annual basis. 4. KCDEM will facilitate collaboration and MOU's with non-profit agencies to provide a variety of services such as housing, job hunting assistance or disaster assistance. F. Response Activities After a rapid assessment of the county is performed under the direction of the EOC, strategic priorities will be established and shelters will be established according to the areas of greatest concern. The use of the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan will identify means and methods for the most robust and efficient response. G. Recovery Activities Recovery begins before response is completed. The Kitsap County Recovery Plan identifies the steps taken to begin the process of short term improvement to life, property and the environment. Long-term recovery will involve investigation, documentation, and a coordinated and concerted effort between state/local/and federal agencies. V. RESPONSIBILITIES A.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose The purpose of this Emergency Support Function (ESF) is to provide logistical management and resource support functions following an emergency, disaster event, or the threat of an emergency or disaster event. B. Scope 1. This Emergency Support Function (ESF) primarily applies to operations during major events that would have a widespread and complex impact on the county and its citizens. However, any incident has the potential to require specific resource management activities with the operation. 2. Resource support includes providing services, personnel, commodities, and facilities to the county and cities within the county during the response and recovery phases of an emergency or disaster. This includes emergency relief supplies, office space, office equipment and supplies, contracting Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 7 - 1 ESF — 7: Logistics Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo services, transportation services, and personnel as needed to support emergency activities. 3. The Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) coordinates resources and support agencies and organizations including the county and cities resources, volunteer groups, businesses, and community service organizations. II. RELATED POLICIES The priorities for providing resources shall be for the protection of life, property, and the environment as well as for providing continuity of government services. A. In accordance with Section 7 of Article VIII of the Washington State Constitution, no county, city, town or other municipal corporation shall give any money, or property, or loan its money, or credit to or in aid of any individual, association, company or corporation. B. In accordance with RCW 38.52.070 (2), a political subdivision in which a disaster occurs shall have the power to enter into contracts and incur obligations necessary to combat such disaster, protecting the health and safety of persons and property, and providing emergency assistance to the victims of such disaster. The political subdivision is authorized to exercise the powers vested under this section in the light of the exigencies of an extreme emergency situation without regard to time- consuming procedures and formalities prescribed by law (excepting mandatory constitutional requirements), including, but not limited to, budget law limitations, requirements of competitive bidding and publication of notices, provisions pertaining to the performance of public work, entering into contracts, the incurring of obligations, the employment of temporary workers, the rental of equipment, the purchase of supplies and materials, the levying of taxes, and the appropriation and expenditures of public funds. C. In accordance with RCW 38.52.110 (1), in responding to a disaster, the Board of County Commissioners is directed to utilize the services, equipment, supplies, and facilities of existing departments, offices, and agencies of the state, political subdivisions, and all other municipal corporations thereof, including, but not limited to, districts and quasi municipal corporations organized under the laws of the state of Washington to the maximum extent practicable, and the officers and personnel of all such departments, offices, and agencies are directed to cooperate with and extend such services and facilities upon request notwithstanding any other provision of law. D. In accordance with RCW 38.52.110 (2), the Board of County Commissioners, in the event of a disaster, after proclamation by the governor of the existence of such disaster, shall have the power to command the service and equipment of as many citizens as considered necessary in the light of the disaster proclaimed, provided Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 7 - 2 ESF — 7: Logistics Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo that citizens so commandeered shall be entitled during the period of such service to all privileges, benefits and immunities as are provided by RCW 38.52 and federal and state emergency management regulations for registered emergency workers. III. SITUATION A. Emergency/Disaster Conditions and Hazards A significant emergency or disaster will severely damage, or limit access to the local resource infrastructure. 2. Several emergency and disaster scenarios, such as earthquakes, floods or wildfires could require extensive resource management and coordination. Potential situations could occur during a disaster situation that would isolate the county or specific areas of the county and restrict available resource support. Any situation that causes a lack of specific resources necessary for emergency response activities. B. Planning Assumptions Kitsap County will not have all of the resources, either in type or quantity that may be required to combat the effects of all potential hazards. 2. Support agencies will perform tasks and expend resources under their own authorities, including implementation of mutual aid agreements, as applicable, in addition to tasking received under the authority of the Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Resource requirements beyond the capacity of support agencies will be coordinated from the county Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Requests will be handled on a case -by -case basis and allocation will depend on availability of both the resource and a means of delivery. 4. Weather conditions, damage to transportation routes, or other factors may restrict access to a disaster site or to a storage area and hence affect the availability and distribution of resources. 5. The initial response to a hazardous event will focus on lifesaving and injury reduction activities followed by protection of public property. The protection of private property will be the responsibility of the landowner or tenant unless directed otherwise by the Board of County Commissioners. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 7 - 3 ESF — 7: Logistics Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 6. The EOC will have available or immediate access to, resource and vendor lists for the most commonly used or anticipated resources to combat a given hazard. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General This ESF will be implemented upon notification of a potential or actual major emergency or disaster. Implementing this ESF will be the mechanism for providing support activity to other ESFs. Actions undertaken by this ESF will be coordinated by personnel in the EOC. 2. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-7 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. 3. During initial emergency operations, each entity will be responsible for managing its own resources. Local resources will be utilized before requesting assistance from the state. 4. Multi -agency response will use the ICS. 5. DEM/EOC will manage resource coordination activities. 6. The elected officials of the political subdivisions are empowered to establish controls on resources and resource allocation priorities during a state of emergency, once it has been declared. 7. Voluntary controls are the preferred method of resource management, although mandatory controls may be required, when feasible, as a temporary measure. The public will be encouraged to voluntarily cooperate with emergency measures through the public information program. 8. The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners and the respective Mayors/City Councils, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, has the responsibility and authority to manage resources and invoke economic and other controls, if the situation warrants. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 7 - 4 ESF — 7: Logistics Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 9. When appropriate, private agricultural, industrial, commercial, financial, or other services may assist local government in an advisory capacity with emergency resource distribution and mobilization policies or control programs. 10. Local community service organizations, with the Salvation Army being the lead agency, will manage donated goods and services. The Salvation Army Lead will work with ESF 7 Coordinator to determine receiving and distribution points for donated goods. B. Organization The County EOC, in coordination with the Commissioners and Mayors, or the Bainbridge Island Chief Executive Officer, will establish overall resource management priorities and strategies as appropriate and necessary. 2. If the size of the incident warrants it, the group of individuals within the EOC designated as the Support Group will coordinate resource support and management. 3. Authorization for expenditures, entering into contracts, and other administrative issues will come from the Emergency Management Director or Disaster Manager. C. Procedures 1. The management of initial emergency response will be the responsibility of the Incident Commander(s). 2. Resource requests will be received, coordinated and processed through the EOC. Requests will be evaluated by the EOC, and assigned to the appropriate section or branch for completion of the task. EOC may request additional outside resources; these requests will be coordinated through the state EMD/EOC. 3. If the EOC is activated and the need for resource management activities requires additional assistance, the EOC Manager will designate a participating member as the Resource Coordinator. 4. Incoming resources will usually be processed through a staging area operation which will be determined by the situation.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose To coordinate the mobilization and management of medical, public health, mental health, ministerial, and mortuary resources within Kitsap County during an emergency/disaster using the Incident Command System/National Incident Management System (ICS/NIMS). B. Scope Emergency Support Function ESF- 8 involves identifying and meeting the health, medical, mental health and mortuary response needs that will arise when a major emergency or disaster strikes Kitsap County. The response may require any of the following: • Assessment of medical/health needs Health surveillance/communicable disease response Health care personnel acquisition Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 8 -1 ESF — 8: Public Health and Medical Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo • Medical/health equipment and supplies acquisition, deployment, and competency assurance • Patient evacuation • Patient care • Mental health services and/or interventions • Public health information • Vector control (rats, pests, etc.) • Potable water provision • Food safety inspections • Wastewater and sanitation interventions • Solid waste disposal • Mortuary services and victim identification • Hazardous substances, spills/releases response II. RELATED POLICIES A. Kitsap County and Navy Region NW Fire Agencies will provide Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) under the Northwest Region EMS Protocols and will operate within the guidelines established in the Kitsap County Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Plan. B. During a MCI, patient transport is directed through the Disaster Medical Control Center (DMCC) and area hospitals will receive MCI patients, unless incapacitated. Harrison Medical Center is the DMCC for Kitsap County. The Naval Hospital Bremerton is the backup. All Kitsap County mutual -aid emergency medical responders who provide emergency medical assistance in Kitsap County should operate under Kitsap County procedures and protocols. C. The Kitsap Public Health District provides guidance to the county, agencies, and individuals on basic public health principles involving safe drinking water, food, sanitation, personal hygiene, and proper disposal of human waste, garbage, infectious or hazardous waste, communicable disease and biological agents. D. The Kitsap County Health Officer is authorized to implement measures as necessary to control communicable disease exposure or contamination of food, water and environmental resources (RCW 70.05). E. Kitsap Mental Health Services, after meeting its responsibilities to patients, will, to the extent of its ability and upon request, work with the EOC to provide mental health support (i.e. crisis outpatient, inpatient, 211) as needed including those identified to be experiencing mental health needs. F. The Kitsap County Coroner has the responsibility for determining the Cause and Manner of Death of all persons who pass within the jurisdictional boundaries of Kitsap County. The Coroner or his/her Deputies are required to adhere to the Revised Code of Washington (RCW Titles 36.24 & 68.50) for determining if a Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 8 - 2 ESF — 8: Public Health and Medical Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsho case is a jurisdictional death that would require a more thorough and in-depth investigation. G. Washington Veterans Home Retsil MOU will provide temporary shelter to individuals with medical special needs and others in danger of life threatening emergencies during time of extreme emergencies/disasters as established by County declaration. III. SITUATION A. Emergency/Disaster Conditions and Hazards Although severe winter storms continue to be our major events, our greatest risk continues to be earthquakes. As such, the Department of Emergency Management continues to prepare responders and the public for the next significant earthquake. 2. Earthquakes can substantially increase mortality and morbidity. Secondary events resulting from earthquakes, such as aftershocks, fires, and hazardous material spills/releases, all also have health effects. Deaths and injuries (especially lacerations and contusions) are largely the result of being crushed by falling building materials. Major medical complications resulting from earthquakes include hypothermia, wound infections, gangrene, sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and crush syndrome. The potential also exists for an increase in waterborne, food borne, or vector borne illnesses and impeded access to life-saving and other medical services as well as clean food and water due to impacts to critical infrastructure. 3. Severe weather storms and flooding events in general, can lead to increased mortality and morbidity due to the potential for: drowning, transmission of water -borne disease and vector -borne illness, exposure to hazardous chemical and biological agents, and impeded access to healthcare facilities for treatment or for life-saving procedures or to food or clean water supplies. 4. There can also be significant short-term and long-term mental health effects that result from any emergency or natural disaster. 5. Kitsap County plans for an all -hazards response using the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) and training all response personnel to use the Incident Command System. B. Planning Assumptions Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 8 - 3 ESF — 8: Public Health and Medical IV. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo A significant natural, pandemic or technological disaster or terrorism event could overwhelm Kitsap County medical facilities and services requiring emergency coordination of casualties. 2. Kitsap County hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, pharmacies, and other medical and health care facilities may be severely structurally damaged, destroyed, or rendered unusable. A disaster could also pose public health threats to food, water, and personal health. 4. Damaged manufacturing facilities, waste processing and disposal facilities, sewer lines, and water distribution systems and secondary hazards such as fires could result in toxic environmental and public health hazards to the surviving population and response personnel. The damage and destruction of a catastrophic disaster will produce urgent needs for mental health crisis counseling for disaster victims and response personnel. Disruption of sanitation services and facilities, loss of power, and surge of people may significantly impact the public's health. 7. Representative form Kitsap Public Health District, EMS, hospitals and /or Coroner's Office will jointly perform the county EOC function of coordinating medical, health, and mortuary resources which will be beyond the scope of their agencies. 8. If the threat to public health is of such magnitude that supplemental assistance is necessary, the State and Federal Governments may provide assistance. Requests may be made through normal Emergency Management channels with the activation of the Puget Sound- Regional Catastrophic Coordination Plan. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General 1. ESF-8 primary and support agencies are accessible 24/7 through their after- hours programs (pagers, answering service, etc.). During an emergency with significant health and medical impacts, the agencies would activate their own emergency response plans (which may include activating their own command or coordination centers) and, as staffing allows, send representatives to the County EOC to assist with ESF-8 coordination. The command and coordination centers of the ESF 8 lead and support agencies would coordinate their activities with the EOC. Agencies with command centers are listed in the Basic Plan as part of Kitsap Multi -Agency Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 8 - 4 ESF — 8: Public Health and Medical B. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Coordination Network. Agencies will coordinate per their response plans with available communication networks including WebEOC. 2. When ESF-8 agencies are activated; they will coordinate public information through the Joint Information Center (JIC) or through the Joint Information System (JIS). 3. Each primary and support agency will be notified using the County Alert and Warning program. Some will activate their agency operations center but most will report to the EOC for coordination purposes. Organization 1. Kitsap Public Health District is the ESF-8 Coordinator. It maintains a database containing contact information for various healthcare agencies and facilities, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, labs, long-term care agencies, and veterinarians. When the EOC is activated, the ESF 8 primary agencies will send personnel, as resources allow, assisting with (1) public health operations or coordination and (2) ESF-8 coordination. Both the public health liaison and the ESF-8 coordinator will report to the EOC Planning Section Chief unless assigned elsewhere. If an emergency is confined to one of the Cities in Kitsap, at the direction of the County EOC, ESF-8 may be activated at a City EOC for more direct support during an emergency. 2. If Kitsap Public Health District is unable to send a staff person to the EOC to assist with ESF-8 coordination, a healthcare facility or ESF-8 support agency representative or someone with healthcare expertise at the EOC will act as the ESF-8 coordinator. The role of the ESF-8 coordinator will be to: • Collect and compile data on the impacts of the emergency to Kitsap's healthcare system to inform the EOC's situational awareness • Assess the health and medical needs during an emergency and track the status of ESF-8 activities • Advise the EOC Planning and Operations Sections on existing healthcare and public health plans • Advise the EOC Logistics Section, if needed, on available healthcare resources inside or outside Kitsap County A representative of the Kitsap Coroner's Office will report to the EOC, as resources allow, assisting with the coordination of mass fatality response as described in the Kitsap County Mass Fatality Plan. 4. Healthcare facilities will strive to remain operational during an emergency to assist with patient care. Most have emergency plans and continuity of operations plan. Harrison Medical Center has MOUs with other hospitals Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 8 - 5 ESF — 8: Public Health and Medical Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo to assist with emergency resources. Long-term care facilities also have an MOU to assist each other during an emergency. Several local healthcare facilities have been trained as "triage and treatment centers" so they can medically address a surge of patients who may show up at their sites during an emergency. 5. The Kitsap Medical Surge Plan, which is appended to this Annex, describes how the County would address a surge in patients that requires activating alternate care facilities. DEM also has a medically fragile needs shelter agreement with the Washington Veterans Home to assist with specific surge issues. The first fire agency responding to a scene that involves multiple injuries will evaluate the situation and make the decision whether to request additional assistance. When the decision is made to activate the Kitsap County Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Plan, the first agency on the scene will serve as the on -scene commander until another fire department arrives and the commander transfers command. Other agencies responding to the incident will report to the designated staging area. 7. Kitsap Public Health District's Emergency Response Plan addresses the activation of mass vaccination or medical distribution sites to respond to a bioterrorism incident or communicable disease outbreak. Kitsap County maintains its own Chapter of the Medical Reserve Corps, a group of volunteers dedicated to assist during medical or health emergencies. DEM maintains the volunteer database and works with Kitsap Public Health District on the training of these volunteers. The MRC will work under the direction of the Kitsap Public Health District and/or the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management using the NIMS/ICS structure. The county EOC will activate the Medical Reserve Corps as necessary in times of disaster. 9. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-8 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. C. Procedures ESF-8 Checklists, position descriptions, and standard operating procedures can be found on the EOC server or as hard copy in the EOC. Kitsap Public Health District will compile these documents with the assistance of the other ESF-8 lead and Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 8 - 6 ESF — 8: Public Health and Medical La E. F. G. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo support agencies. Electronic and hard copies of these documents will also be housed with all of the ESF 8 lead agencies. Prevention and Mitigation Activities A primary goal of the Kitsap Public Health District (KPHD) is to prevent the occurrence of injuries and to prevent the occurrence and spread of disease. KPHD achieves these goals through its everyday work, which includes providing public information, services, and technical assistance to healthcare, sanitation, and other facilities. Healthcare facilities also contribute to the prevention of injuries and limiting the spread of disease through the direct services they provide to their clients. Refer to the Kitsap County and City Hazard Mitigation Plan for more information. Preparedness Activities Healthcare facilities and other health and medical agencies in Kitsap County conduct their own preparedness activities such as response training, plan development, MOU development, and emergency exercises. They also participate in joint planning in venues such as the Kitsap Healthcare Coalition, which is chaired by the Kitsap Public Health District. EMS agencies work with local hospitals and other agencies on the county mass casualty plan and on mass casualty exercises. The Kitsap County Coroner's Office works with funeral homes and other partners on a regular basis and maintains the Kitsap County Mass Fatality Plan. Response Activities After a rapid assessment of the county is performed by the EOC, strategic priorities will be established. The Plans Section would activate ESF-8 coordination along with other ESFs as the situation requires. Specific responder/agency response plans would be activated depending on the strategic priorities. The EOC will coordinate response activities with the City EOCs, other agency command or coordination centers, tribal coordination centers, and the State EOC. Recovery Activities Recovery begins before response is completed. The Kitsap County Recovery Plan identifies the steps taken to begin the process of short-term improvement to life, property and the environment. Long-term recovery will involve investigation, documentation, and a coordinated and concerted effort among state/local/and federal agencies. V.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose To provide for the effective utilization of search and rescue resources and for the control and coordination of various types of search and rescue operations involving persons in distress resulting from an emergency/disaster. B. Scope This Emergency Support Function addresses wilderness search and rescue operations, suburban and structural search and rescue, and includes search and rescue on the ground, in the air, or in the water. This ESF will discuss day-to-day SAR operations as well as during major emergencies in Kitsap County. II. RELATED POLICIES A. "Search and Rescue " (SAR) means the act of searching for, rescuing or recovering by means of ground, marine, or air activity any person who becomes lost, injured, or is killed while outdoors or as a result of a natural, human caused or technological disaster, including instances involving searches for downed aircraft when ground personnel are used. Nothing in this section shall affect appropriate activity by the department of transportation under Chapter 47.68 RCV. (RCW 38.52.010[7]) Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 9 -1 ESF — 9: Search and Rescue Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo B. "The chief law enforcement officer of each political subdivision shall be responsible for local SAR activities". (RCW 38.52.400[l]) The Kitsap County Sheriff's office is responsible for SAR operations in unincorporated Kitsap County. The Sheriff will appoint one or more deputies within the agency as SAR Coordinator(s) to work with the Department of Emergency Management and the Kitsap County SAR volunteer organizations. The Chiefs of Police in the incorporated cities are responsible for SAR within their jurisdictions. However, the Sheriff's Office may coordinate search operations within these jurisdictions at the request of a police department supervisor. C. Operations of SAR activities shall be per state and local operation plans adopted by the elected governing body of each local political subdivision. (RCW 38.52.400) D. The Kitsap County DEM coordinates direct support to all SAR activities and registers emergency (SAR) workers. (RCW 38.52.400) E. Kitsap County DEM has the responsibility to establish criteria and standards for emergency workers whom they register. This may include the demonstrated proficiency of the worker to perform emergency activities as indicated by assignment and personnel class. (WAC 118-04) F. SAR personnel will be trained and qualified in accordance with WA. State SAR standards and credentialed by KC DEM. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. People will become lost, injured, or killed while outdoors, requiring search and rescue activities in Kitsap County. B. An emergency or disaster may cause building collapse, leaving persons in life - threatening situations requiring prompt urban search and rescue (USAR) and medical care. Homeland Security Region 2 Technical Rescue Team may also be dispatched to provide immediate response to a collapsed structure. This may be referred to as structural search and rescue. C. Large numbers of local residents and emergent volunteers may initiate activities to help in the rescue effort and will require coordination and direction. D. Catastrophic events may have several incident scenes requesting SAR response. Kitsap County EOC and if activated, ESF-9 coordinator will prioritize SAR resources where there skilled is needed for priority life saving. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. The Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be activated to provide coordination, technical and administrative support to SAR operations. Similar Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 9 -2 ESF — 9: Search and Rescue Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo provisions may be made from the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to support local efforts. B. Coordination from the incident scene or from the county EOC to the state EOC will be through the normal radio and telephone capabilities, augmented by back-up direction and control systems. Local SAR field operations will utilize whatever communications means necessary to carry out effective SAR operations. C. The Kitsap County Sheriffs Office (SAR Coordinator) or Department of Emergency Management, upon request from the SAR Coordinator, will obtain a mission number from State Emergency Management for SAR missions. D. An adequate number of volunteers can be recruited for general SAR purposes from within the SAR volunteer organizations. However, neither the County nor the volunteers can provide all necessary equipment or manpower to cope with all types of SAR missions. Mobile support units must be available upon request from adjoining political subdivisions, or from the State Division of Emergency Management, to ensure and support maximum SAR efforts. All requests for outside resources will be made through normal emergency management channels. E. SAR operations will be managed per the National Incident Management System. SAR Emergency Workers will be trained in a level of ICS to meet their role and responsibility in the Incident Command structure. F. Ground Search and Rescue 1. State Emergency Management, upon receiving requests for assistance from appropriate local authorities, will coordinate the resources of other political subdivisions and/or state and federal agencies in support of the requesting agency. Activation, call -out and other processes will be per DEM's standard operating procedures for SAR events. 2. Air support or reconnaissance may be requested through State Emergency Management to assist the ground teams, as needed. 3. SAR operations may require the use of canine to support missions for lost or trapped personnel, alive or deceased. 4. State Emergency Management will issue mission numbers to local authorities in response to downed or missing aircraft for ground search only, and will coordinate these missions with the Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics. G. Marine Search and Rescue Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 9 -3 ESF — 9: Search and Rescue Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 1.

Upon notification of a possible boating accident or possible drowning, CENCOM will notify: a. Appropriate Law Enforcement Agency b. Local Fire Agency C. Coast Guard - if in salt water. Underwater evidence searches will be coordinated by the SAR Coordinator who will obtain an evidence mission number using the proper procedures. H. Air Search and Rescue The United States Air Force directs search operations for downed scheduled aircraft, downed or missing military aircraft, aircraft carrying people or things of national significance, or aircraft of international origin. 2. Air SAR for missing or downed civil aircraft is the responsibility of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Division of Aeronautics. Local law enforcement may participate in a search for downed or missing aircraft when there is a reasonable likelihood that craft is located within their jurisdiction. These activities will be coordinated with the Washington State D.O.T. Division of Aeronautics. Upon location of the downed aircraft, the incident becomes a ground SAR operation under the direction and control of the chief local law enforcement officer. 4. Upon notification of the possibility of a downed aircraft in Kitsap County, CENCOM will notify the SAR Coordinator and DEM Duty Officer who will: a. Request a SAR mission number from State Emergency Management using proper procedures. b. Activate other SAR units, as appropriate. V.

Mitigation Activities Mitigation activities may include any program that provides outreach to those who enjoy parks and recreation in the Pacific Northwest outdoors. These programs may include improved signage, special technology, or presentations to make citizens aware of techniques to minimize getting lost in wooded areas. Structural collapses can not be avoided during an earthquake unless the structure is old and not properly retrofitted to improve it ability to withstand an earthquake or high winds. Evaluation of structures and retrofits may provide a better chance of survival for occupants. B. Preparedness Activities Preparedness measures should include personal, family and facility preparedness to ensure employees can respond to emergencies and survive a collapsed structure. This includes: • Having a plan in place for response to emergencies to include standard procedures for earthquake and evacuations • Participation in training and exercises • Understanding and participating in the National Incident Management System • SAR organizations should have effective training and qualification programs to keep members sharp and physically ready for SAR call -outs. • Maintain notification rosters for CenCom 911, Kitsap DEM and other agencies to support response efforts. C. Response Activities Primary response activities include those to minimize the loss of lives and property damage. SAR team will mobilize without notification after an earthquake. Otherwise, missions will be assigned either in County or another jurisdiction via DEM and SAR Standard Operating Procedures • Respond during emergencies as requested by 911 and local responders • Work within a task force with local responders to eliminate unsafe environments. Monitor SAR members and volunteers for fatigue. • Provide a liaison in the County or City Emergency Operations Center • Provide situational reports to the County EOC about SAR Operations • Work within an assigned scene Incident Command structure.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose To provide for the effective utilization of hazardous material incident response and mitigation resources, as required, to meet essential needs in Kitsap County during incidents involving hazardous substances or materials, which, when uncontrolled, can be harmful to persons or the environment of Kitsap County? B. Scope The scope of this Emergency Support Function (ESF) includes: Assess the risk for potential discharges and/or releases of hazardous material within unincorporated Kitsap County. 2. Facilitate the coordination of Kitsap County departments and other agencies responding to the actual release of hazardous material within unincorporated Kitsap County. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 10 - 1 ESF — 10: Oil and Hazardous Materials Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 3. Support Kitsap County departments and other agencies in acquiring the technical assistance, specialized equipment, and resource support needed to prevent, minimize, or mitigate a threat to public health and welfare, property, or the environment. This plan is strictly in support of conditions and/or events within Kitsap County. It is understandable that agencies and resources providing service within Kitsap may also be called upon to provide service in other affected communities within the Puget Sound region. As such, the distribution of response and mitigation resources will require prioritization of critical infrastructure. II. RELATED POLICIES A. Kitsap County's priority will be to protect lives and property and the environment. B. The party suspected of generating the hazardous waste incident will be responsible for restoring their own facilities. C. Emergency service providers and City/County governments will be prepared to respond to hazardous materials related emergencies within Kitsap County. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS Emergency/disaster conditions and hazards are outlined in the HIVA 2015. A. A natural or technological disaster could result in a single or numerous situations in which hazardous materials are released into the environment. In this case, life safety priorities may have depleted the availability of resources and therefore, may preclude the ability to support an immediate response. B. Fixed facilities (e.g., chemical plants, tank farms, laboratories, operating hazardous waste sites which produce, generate, use, store, or dispose of hazardous materials) could be damaged so that existing spill control apparatus and containment measures are not effective. C. Hazardous materials that are transported may be involved in railroad accidents, highway collisions, water way, or airline mishaps. D. Damage to, or rupture of, pipelines transporting materials that are hazardous if improperly released will present serious problems. E. Emergency exemptions may be needed for disposal of contaminated material. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 10 - 2 ESF —10: Oil and Hazardous Materials IV. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo F. Kitsap County departments, under Emergency Proclamation, may need the authority to access private property to evaluate and/or mitigate hazards that threaten to jeopardize public health and welfare, property, or the environment. G. No Kitsap County Fire Agency either individually or collectively maintain a Type 1 or Type II hazardous materials emergency response Team (HMERT) capable of operating within hazardous environments. Only U.S. Navy (Navy Region Northwest) Fire and Emergency Services maintain such a capability. Kitsap County maintains local MOUs for hazardous materials support from the Navy in the event of a hazardous materials event. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General Concepts 1. In accordance with RCW 70.136, unless otherwise assumed by another local agency, incident command responsibility for managing hazardous materials incidents, defaults to the Washington State Patrol (WSP). See Attachment 2 for Incident Command designations. Local fire agencies are typically the initial responding agency and are responsible for maintaining their own response plans and procedures. 2. Local emergency responders provide services such as, but not limited to, rescue and medical treatment of the injured, evacuation of persons at risk, initial isolation of an area, and identification of involved materials. The Incident Commander will ensure that the Kitsap DEM is notified. The Kitsap DEM will facilitate assuring the State Emergency Management Division and other local, state and federal agencies are notified as per local, state and federal laws, regulations and plans. Wherever possible, mutual aid agreements among local emergency agencies and the private sector should be developed to promote and facilitate the sharing of resources and expertise. 4. Each agency that has assumed IC responsibilities will ensure that there is trained staff, notification and activation capability, and appropriate resources to carry out respective hazardous materials responsibilities. Routine vs. Emergency: The nature and urgency for response will vary based on the degree of threat the incident poses. Many incidents can be effectively managed within the scope of local agency capabilities and DEM's standard operating procedures. When the incident's scope and complexity exceed what can be reasonably managed under routine procedures, DEM staff or the Duty Officer will initiate activating the EOC along with the applicable ESF guidelines.

LEPC: A Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) shall be established to facilitate the process of developing and maintaining coordinated response plans. These plans shall address risk assessment, Right -to -Know obligations, and response coordination. Reference: Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) was signed into federal law in 1986. Title III of SARA B. Local Agencies 1. Notifications a. Kitsap County's 911 dispatch center (CENCOM) shall serve as the local public -safety answering point for reporting hazardous materials incidents; dispatching local first responders; and initiating local agency notifications. b. The on -scene Incident Commander shall determine if: ■ WSP needs to be notified if they are to assume incident command responsibility or if they are to be requested to provide assistance. ■ The Kitsap DEM Duty Officer needs to be notified for consultation or to initiate their coordination assistance. d. As necessary, the Kitsap County EOC shall be activated to the extent its services are needed to support the on -scene Incident Commander. On -Scene Incident Management a. The on -scene Incident Commander will be the sole individual responsible for coordinating and managing all the on -scene incident activities. In the case where multiple agencies share response jurisdiction and duties, they shall all operate in collaboration under the coordination of a Unified Command structure. b. A lead person from each assisting and/or supporting agency shall liaison with the Incident Commander to ensure their agency's activities fall within the incident objectives and are appropriately coordinated within the incident action plan. c. The Incident Commander will also coordinate with the appropriate federal and state agencies, and the private sector, as appropriate. C. State Agencies As the incident's scope and complexity dictates, the assistance of State agencies may be required. If so, their response will be initiated and coordinated by Kitsap DEM in accordance with the appropriate state laws, regulations, and agency plans. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 10 - 4 ESF —10: Oil and Hazardous Materials V. VI. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo D. Federal Agencies If local and state capabilities have been exceeded, Federal agencies and resources may be utilized. If federal response is required, their response will be initiated and coordinated by Kitsap DEM in accordance with the appropriate federal laws, regulations, and plans. DIRECTION AND CONTROL Routine incidents may only require consultation with the DEM Duty Officer for assistance in obtaining technical assistance and/or for coordination with securing specialized resources. The DEM Duty Officer shall determine when EOC activation is warranted and to what degree. DEM staff is responsible for local reporting and ensuring the incident has been reported to the National Response Center (NRC). When the EOC is activated, the Kitsap County Disaster Manager assumes responsibility for providing direction and control of ESFs in the County Emergency Operations Center. Activation, assignment and responsibility of ESF-10 will be at the direction of the Disaster Manager with lines of authority through the Operations Section Chief. An ESF Coordinator will be assigned to manage the activities of ESF-10. In cases of minor emergencies, for example a minor hazardous materials release, the function of supporting response and mitigation efforts will be under the Operations Section Chief. During incidents involving one of Kitsap's Cities, ESF-10 may be activated at the City EOC for better coordination and control of the event. This will be accomplished with the cooperation of the County EOC. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Mitigation Activities It is the obligation of the party suspected of being responsible for generating a hazardous materials incident to mitigate the threats caused by the incident. The suspected party (the generator) must collaborate with Kitsap DEM on matters affecting mitigation and recovery. Other efforts to improve technology or remove barriers to restoration can help to mitigate losses and reduce restoration times which help the community to return to normalcy. B. Preparedness Activities Preparedness measures should include personal, family and facility preparedness to ensure employees can respond to emergencies.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose This ESF supports county, local and tribal authorities to address: 1. Emergency provision of food assistance 2. Coordinate to control and eradicate an outbreak of a highly contagious or economically devastating animal/zoonotic disease, highly infective exotic plant disease, or economically devastating plant pest infestation 3. Assurance of food safety and food security 4. Protection of natural and cultural resources 5. Providing for Safety and Well -Being of Household Pets B. Scope This ESF provides for the management, safe handling and distribution of food stocks, water and donated goods for the needs in Kitsap County and its cities during a major emergency or disaster. 2. This ESF is in the context of emergency or disaster situations. Although there are numerous support State and Federal agencies that would integrate into Kitsap's ESF-11, the scope of this ESF is the activation of County resources necessary for the coordination of food, water and donated goods following a disaster. 3. ESF-11 mentions numerous support agencies. Some of these agencies may not be specifically called out in this ESF because they maybe providing similar roles as other ESFs particularly ESF-6 and ESF-8 and ESF-15 are active. As such, their assignment to this ESF will be dependent on other priorities in Kitsap County. II. RELATED POLICIES A. General Actions in ESF-I I are coordinated and conducted cooperatively with Federal, State, tribal, and local incident management officials and with private entities, in coordination within the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. The County EOC will coordinate efforts in Kitsap's incorporated Cities through representatives from City agencies. 2. Each supporting agency is responsible for managing their assets and resources after receiving direction from the primary agency for the incident. Agency assets on -scene will be coordinated and employed by the Incident Commander for the incident or event. Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 11 -2 ESF —11: Agriculture and Natural Resources B. C. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 3. The primary agency for each incident coordinates with other ESFs and annexes to ensure appropriate use of volunteers and their health and safety and to ensure appropriate measures are in place to protect the health and safety of all worker. 4. It is anticipated that numerous non-profit and commercial agencies will come to the aid to support local response as well as providing for Kitsap's vulnerable population. Emergency Provisions Food Assistance. Food supplies secured and delivered under ESF 11 are suitable either for household distribution or for mass meal service as appropriate. Transportation and distribution of food supplies within the affected area are arranged by Federal, State, County, local and voluntary organizations. 3. ESF 11 agencies coordinate with, and support as appropriate, agencies responsible for ESF 6, involved in mass feeding. ESF 11 agencies encourage the use of mass feeding arrangements as the primary outlet for disaster food supplies. Community Points of Distribution (CPODs) may be used to distribute disaster food and water to critical areas. ESF 11 agencies, upon notification that commercial channels of trade have been restored, may authorize the use of disaster food stamp program procedures. Animal and Plant Disease and Pest Response Polices Animal and plant disease and pest responses are conducted in collaboration and cooperation with State, County, city and tribal authorities and private industries to ensure continued human and animal nutrition and environmental security, and to support the economy and trade. 2. When addressing animal diseases, all animal depopulation and disposal activities are conducted in accordance with Washington State Department of Agriculture policy based on the type of incident and reason for depopulations. 3. In connection with an emergency in which a pest or disease of livestock threatens any segment of agricultural production in the County. The Was Department of Health Department with the support of Kitsap County Public Health will work with the State to aid the transfer from other appropriations or funds available to the agencies or corporations of USDA. The Secretary then determines which are necessary for the arrest, control, Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 11 -3 ESF — 11: Agriculture and Natural Resources C. 0 Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo eradication, or prevention of the spread of the pest or disease of livestock and for related expenses including indemnity for producers. 4. Under a declaration of extraordinary emergency, the Secretary of Agriculture may use Federal authorities to take action within a State if the affected State is unable to take appropriate action to control and eradicate the disease or pest. Actions taken during an animal or plant emergency are guided by and coordinated with State, local, and tribal emergency preparedness and response officials, homeland security officials, and existing USDA internal policies and procedures. In responding to an emergency that requires a coordinated response through the National Response Framework, Animal and Plant Health Inspection coordinates with agencies affiliated with appropriate ESFs and other annexes, including the coordinating agency for the Worker Safety and Health Support Annex, to ensure appropriate measures are in place to protect the health and safety of all workers, including volunteers. Assurance of Food Safety and Security Actions are guided by and coordinated with State, County, local, and tribal emergency preparedness and response officials, homeland security officials, and existing USDA internal policies and procedures. 2. Chapter 246-290-415 (2) (d) WAC, requires public water systems in Washington to have an emergency response plan. This WAC also requires that systems employ reasonable security measures to protect the raw water intake facilities, water treatment processes, storage facilities, pump -houses and distribution systems from possible damage or intruders. A cooperative effort among water purveyors in Kitsap and Health departments is paramount to providing this essential service to the public. Protection of Natural and Cultural Resources 1. Kitsap County Parks & Recreation working with City Parks and Recreation agencies and Kitsap's Tribal partners are the primary agencies for protection and restoration of natural and cultural resources. 2. Actions taken under ESF 11 to protect, conserve, rehabilitate, recover, and restore natural and cultural sources are guided by the existing internal policies and procedures of the primary agency for each incident. The primary agency for each incident coordinates with appropriate ESFs and other annexes, including the coordinating agency for the Worker Safety and Health Support Annex, to ensure appropriate use of volunteers and Effective: July 1, 2015 ESF 11 - 4 ESF — 11: Agriculture and Natural Resources E. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo their health and safety and to ensure appropriate measures are in place to protect the health and safety of all workers. 4. Each support agency is responsible for managing its respective assets and resources after receiving direction from the primary agency. Providing for Safety and Well -Being of Household Pets Animal evacuation and sheltering should be conducted in conjunction with human evacuation and sheltering efforts. Animals should be sheltered near their owners to the extent possible. Owners should be expected to provide food, water, husbandry, and exercise for their pets during the time they are in emergency shelters. ESF-I I partners should work closely with ESF-6 to coordinate shelters locations and supporting household pets. Other livestock will be coordinated through ESF- I I along with support from non- profit and other businesses that can the resources to accommodate large animal services. 2. Businesses where animals are integral to operations (e.g., pet shops and veterinary hospitals) should be encouraged to have contingency plans in place for those animals in the event of an emergency. During emergencies, these businesses may also be asked to support emergency response efforts for preserving animal life and other critical services. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. Under emergency/disaster conditions the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army are the agencies that have the ability to coordinate mass care. K CDEM will work with all community, humanitarian, and social service organizations to assist in the coordination of this activity. C. Kitsap County Health District will provide guidance to the County, agencies and individuals to ensure the safety of food, water, and donated goods to the public. D. The distribution of food, water and donated goods needs to be a community -wide effort to include Kitsap County and City governments. E. Distribution of food, water and donated goods will tax government, humanitarian and social service agencies. CPODs may be established for area distribution. F. If not handled properly, food, water and other goods can become vehicles for illness and disease transmission, which must be avoided. Safety is paramount in food handling and distribution.

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General DEM will coordinate with local agencies, churches, institutions, commercial facilities, volunteer organizations and water purveyors for the management of food, water and donated goods. 2. Kitsap County Health Department and the County Extension Agent (agricultural agent) will provide information on preventative measures to be taken to reduce contamination of foodstuffs, water, crops, and livestock, as well as information/recommendations for the safe storage and distribution of emergency foodstuffs. Information will be disseminated as described in Appendix 2, Public Information. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-11 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. 3. In the event of a localized response, ESF-I I may be located at one of the City EOCs affected by the event. For example, loss of Agate Pass Bridge may warrant a City ESF-11 to mobilize on Bainbridge Island to support specialized support and logistics to provide commodities to Islanders. B. Food Assistance In the event of a countywide disaster, the cooperation of the food sector is essential to execute emergency plans for allocation of food resources to meet emergency demands. 2. The Logistics Group Food Unit in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will coordinate county food resources. 3. Emergency food stocks will be purchased or procured under the provisions of RCW 38.52.070. C. Water 1. Kitsap County residents obtain their drinking water from either individual water sources or public water supplies. 2. The Logistic Group in the EOC will coordinate county water resources.

Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 3. Water supplies may be severely impacted during flooding, severe winter storms (frozen and ruptured pipes) and earthquakes (total disruption, cracks, pipeline failures, etc.). 4. Most water purveyors are not prepared to deal with severely impacted water systems after a major emergency/disaster. Following an earthquake, water must be considered contaminated because of pipeline breaks. D. Pets 1. Pet care will be provided under the provision of ESF 6 and under the governance of the Kitsap Animal Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan Local Veterinarians will provide monitoring of pet centers associated with open mass care shelters and provide support to pet owners when available.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose To provide for the effective utilization of available electric power, water resources, natural gas, and petroleum products, as required, to meet essential needs in Kitsap County during emergency/disaster situations, and to provide for the restoration of utilities affected by an emergency/disaster. B. Scope The scope of this Emergency Support Function (ESF) includes: Assessing energy systems and utilities damage, supply, demand, and requirements to restore such systems. 2. Helping Kitsap County departments and agencies obtain fuel for transportation, communications, emergency operations, and other critical facilities. 3. Helping Kitsap County energy suppliers and utilities obtain equipment, specialized labor, and transportation to repair or restore service to pre - disaster levels. Effective July 1, 2015 ESF 12- 1 ESF #12 — Energy Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo This plan is strictly in support of restoration in Kitsap County. It is understandable that utility companies providing service in Kitsap, also provides service in other Puget Sound communities affected by the disaster. As such, restoration of services will require prioritization of critical infrastructure. II. RELATED POLICIES A. Kitsap County's priority will be to protect lives and property including critical energy, utility lifelines and the environment. B. Energy providers will be responsible for restoring their own facilities. C. Energy providers and City/County utility districts will be prepared to respond to energy related emergencies in Kitsap County. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS Emergency/disaster conditions and hazards are outlined in the HIVA 2015. A. A severe natural disaster or other significant event can sever key energy and utility lifelines, constraining supply in impacted areas, or in areas with supply links to impacted areas, and also affect fire fighting, transportation, communication, and other lifelines needed for public health and safety. B. There may be widespread and/or prolonged electric power failure. With no electric power, communications, water, wastewater, and solid waste disposal systems will be affected. C. There may be extensive pipeline failure in water, wastewater, and gas utilities. These may take hours, days, or even weeks to repair. D. There may be panic hoarding of fuel in some areas served by severed pipelines or by individuals from neighboring jurisdictions where shortages have occurred. E. Natural gas lines may fracture, creating a hazardous, volatile environment. F. Water pressure may be low, hampering firefighting and impairing sewer system function. G. Kitsap County departments, under Emergency Proclamation, may need the authority to go on private property to evaluate and repair utilities that jeopardize public and private property or threaten public health or the environment. Effective July 1, 2015 ESF 12- 2 ESF #12 — Energy Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. The occurrence of a major disaster could destroy or disrupt all or a portion of the county's energy and utility systems. The electrical power industry within Washington is organized into a network of public and private generation and distribution facilities which form the Northwest Power Pool. Through such networks, the electrical power industry has developed a capability to provide power under even the most extreme circumstances. 2. Water supply systems within the county are either publicly or privately owned and are organized at municipal or local private levels. Since these systems are not normally interconnected, emergency planning for water and utilities is concerned with restoration efforts. 3. Within Kitsap County, natural gas is supplied by major energy corporations through common pipelines originating from the Western United States and Canada. 4. The Department of Transportation (WSDOT) can access local petroleum suppliers and major oil companies to facilitate the delivery of adequate amounts of emergency petroleum fuel supplies and may be requested through local emergency management channels. B. To the maximum extent possible during a disaster, utility and energy systems will continue to provide services through their normal means. C. Energy and utility resources will be used to meet immediate local needs. If shortages exist, requests to meet needs will be submitted through normal emergency management channels. Actions may be taken to curtail use of energy, water or other utilities until normal levels of service can be restored or supplemented. These resources, when curtailed, will be used to meet immediate and essential emergency needs (e.g. hospitals, etc.). D. Energy and utility information will be furnished to emergency government officials at all levels to inform the public on proper use of services. E. As needed or requested, energy and utility representatives will compile post - emergency damage assessment reports and transmit them to DEM. F. The Governor may direct any state or local governmental agency to implement programs relating to the consumption of energy, as deemed necessary to preserve and protect public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize to the fullest extent possible the injurious economic, social and environmental consequences of such energy supply alert.

" (RCW 43.21 G.050) G. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-12 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. V. DIRECTION AND CONTROL The Kitsap County Disaster Manager is responsible for direction and control of ESFs in the County Emergency Operations Center. Activation, assignment and responsibility of ESF-12 will be at the direction of the Disaster Manager with lines of authority through the Plans Section Chief. An ESF Coordinator will be assigned to manage the activities of ESF-12. In cases of minor emergencies, for example a winter storm, the function of energy and utility restoration will be under the Operations Section Chief. During emergencies that may involve one of Kitsap's Cities, ESF-12 may be activated at the City EOC for better coordination and control of the event. This will be accomplished with the cooperation of the County EOC. VI. RESPONSIBILITIES The following responsibility assignments per jurisdiction are noted on page 6 of this ESF. A.

RELATED POLICIES A. Kitsap County Sheriff's Office will coordinate with other federal, tribal, state and local law enforcement agencies to support essential law enforcement operations during a disaster. B. Kitsap County Sheriff's Office will maintain normal policies and procedures whenever possible, but may make adjustments when necessary to protect life, property and the environment. C. In most situations, local jurisdictions have primary authority and responsibility for law enforcement activities. Additionally, federal military police have jurisdiction on the numerous military facilities located in Kitsap County. These organizations through public law and local memorandums of understanding or agreements, coordinate law enforcement activities. In large scale incidents requiring additional resources, in some cases, specific functions not available in the County, mutual aid with other law agencies will provide those skills if needed. Regardless, All local, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies will utilize NIMS/ICS as their core structure for emergency response and recovery activities. D. Coordination and communications are particularly important during large scale emergencies in Kitsap County. Law agencies in Kitsap County participate in integration of communication systems and improved interoperability for optimal coordination of resources during response. E. ESF-13 does not supersede plans, procedures, and protocols implemented by public safety agencies or law that address scene management and emergency operations. For large scale events and County/city activation of EOCs, law representatives will be in the EOC to support priorities, objectives and law resources. III. SITUATION A. Emergency / Disaster Conditions and Hazards: Kitsap County will periodically experience emergency situations that may overwhelm current law enforcement capabilities. Equipment and personnel may be damaged or unavailable at times when they are most needed. The Kitsap County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA), and the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Basic Plan describe situations and planning assumptions that affect our area that may impact resource availability.

Planning Assumptions 1. The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office maintains a 24 hour operational capability. 2. The Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention maintains a 24 hour operational capability to provide jail services for police agencies and courts. Municipal law enforcement agencies will exhaust local resources before requesting help from county resources. 4. Assistance between law enforcement agencies is facilitated by mutual aid agreements in effect for all law enforcement agencies, which operate in Kitsap County and neighboring jurisdictions. There may be little or no warning before the onset of an event or incident. 6. The Chief Executive of the affected jurisdiction has sufficient legislative authority to act during public emergencies to preserve public peace, health and safety of citizens. In the event that the jurisdiction cannot effectively control the situation, he/she can request county assistance. 7. County agency personnel and resources will provide assistance as available during an emergency. 8. In a public emergency, law enforcement and security resources may be directly impacted and potentially degraded. Regional and local relationships among emergency responder partners positively impact interagency cooperation and operational capability. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General In times of an emergency or disaster, law enforcement agencies are called upon to perform a wide variety of functions. These include, but are not limited to, rapid damage assessment, warning and evacuation, search and rescue, access control, enforcement of traffic regulations, investigation crime and criminal activity, and responding with other types of services to unusual events. 2. Distribution of personnel and equipment will be determined by the event.

Mutual aid agreements will be activated once Kitsap County Sheriff's Office resources are exhausted. 3. During a county wide event, coordination of law enforcement resources will be managed by the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office with assistance from other agencies as needed. Law enforcement agencies requested via mutual aid will remain under the control of their parent agency. 4. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-13 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. Organization The operational structure of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office may be modified during emergency operations by using the Incident Command System (ICS). When necessary, a field command post may be activated and staffed as outlined in the department manual and standard operating procedures. It may be necessary for the command structure to incorporate into an Incident Management System with other response agencies such as fire, medical, transportation, public works and emergency management. Any established field command posts will relay information, either by phone, radio or liaison, to the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office Coordination Center or the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center when it is activated. Procedures 1. When circumstances dictate emergency or disaster operations, law enforcement agencies will follow guidelines identified in procedure manuals for their organizations. 2. When the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center is activated, a representative of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office may respond, when requested, to coordinate and exchange information with field units and other county departments as needed. 3. Upon receipt of mobilization authorization, law enforcement supervisors will alert the appropriate personnel assigned to them on mobilization rosters.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose This ESF is intended to provide an overview of the short- and long-term disaster recovery process. The ESF provides guidance for county agencies in concert with other jurisdictions, citizens, non -governmental organizations and businesses to expedite recovery of the greater community to a nominal pre -disaster condition. ESF-15 is a transitional document to gather primary and support agencies to being activation of Kitsap County Recovery Plan. B. Scope This ESF forms the foundation for the county and its external partners in overcoming the difficulties inherent in post -disaster recovery. This ESF covers both short-term and long-term recovery issues. The plan is intended to form a foundation that can be used to guide the county's recovery from any of the myriad disasters that may begin with the restoration of critical functions, services, vital resources, facilities, programs and infrastructure and continuing through long-term recovery. For catastrophic disasters, it would work along with the Puget Sound Catastrophic Plan to reduce competing conflicts for resources and allow jurisdictions to work together and do the best good for citizens affected by the event.

POLICIES A. Coordination Kitsap County (EOC) will act as the coordinator for county -wide recovery operations in the aftermath of emergencies or disasters that impact the county. Based on the size and complexity of the event, Kitsap County (EOC) will: 1. Form joint partnerships with other jurisdictions, governmental agencies, and private -sector organizations to form a cohesive response to the community's needs. 2. Coordinate with other entities that housing, feeding, and support needs for individuals and families affected by the incident. 3. Collect preliminary damage assessment (PDA) information from all jurisdictions to assist with a Stafford Act disaster declaration. 4. Set up the "applicant agent" meeting for all jurisdictions in the County. 5. Set up disaster recovery centers (DRCs) in conjunction with the Washington State Emergency Management Division (WA EMD) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 6. Support mitigation measures to ensure that future emergencies will not have the same ill effects as the immediate one. B. Planning Assumptions 1. Recovery will not recreate the same community that was in existence prior to the disaster. 2. Substantial federal assistance will be made available to Kitsap County in the event of a Presidential Disaster Declaration. 3. Many organizations and businesses, such as utility companies, have their own recovery plans that will assist them in their recovery and that of the community. County Government will also activate "Continuity of Government" plans to restore vital services. 4. Normal operations by law enforcement, fire departments, medical providers, and other emergency personnel may be delayed or hindered for a period of time. 5. With just -in -time inventories, many businesses will not be able to supply basic necessities for a period of time after some disasters and many of them could go out of business due to lost revenue.

III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Overview This ESF defines the roles of government, private sector and non -governmental organizations in promoting recovery. Its intent is to reinforce the principle that short- and long-term recovery activities quickly emerge from initial response operations. It assumes emergent recovery will take place during the response phase to open lifelines. Decisions and considerations during the response phase that support recovery operations include: • Status of critical functions and service • Status of citizen safety and security • Influences on economic recovery • Factors affecting a return to normalcy: open schools, businesses and return to work options • Damage assessment and execution of disaster assistance funds B. Short Term Recovery Short-term recovery begins early in the response phase and is focused on restoring critical services and infrastructure such as utilities, government operations, medical services, transportation routes, cleanup, debris removal, abatement of dangerous buildings and providing support to residents and businesses. In most minor events, like a wind storm and no emergency declaration by the County, recovery is accomplished during the response phase and generally is a matter of energy restoration and minor debris removal. As Kitsap County and Cities activate and assess damages to critical facilities, they will work quickly to restore critical functions, programs and services as well as critical infrastructure. If necessary, ESF-21, Damage Assessment will be activated to capture information on public and private damages to determine criteria for requests for federal assistance and assess areas mostly affected by the event. Information is sent to GIS for analysis and evaluates critically affected areas in the County and affected citizens. 3. Preliminary damage assessment teams from City and County Community Development will assess the hardest hit areas (homes and businesses) for safe occupancy. Later, these teams will coordinate with incoming state and local teams for more accurate evaluation of facilities and infrastructure. Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 14 - 3 ESF #14 — Long Term Recovery Ci. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 4. County and City Public Works and Utilities Departments are lead agency for public works emergencies involving sewers, solid waste, water, roads, dikes and levees, and ferries and traffic operations. They will work with numerous special purpose districts to evaluate systems and map availability of resources and necessary emergency repairs. Kitsap DEM and the EOC will assist all county departments, contracted cities and towns, public safety stakeholders, outside agencies, and relevant non-profit organizations in the initial requirements to assist the state in obtaining a Presidential Disaster Declaration and subsequently receive the aid that comes with it. 6. Kitsap Joint Information Center will work with the PIO Taskforce and other agencies and organizations to provide the best means possible to continue information and instruction to the public on disaster recovery operations. 7. ESF-7 will support short term recovery will critical resources like commodities, shelter, and safety and security measures. Kitsap County DEM with the FEMA and the Washington State Emergency Management Division, the opening of Disaster Centers in Kitsap County and its cities. Long Term Recovery Long -Term Recovery is focused in a larger sense on establishing a "new normal" for an economically sustainable Kitsap County. Components include rebuilding public infrastructure, ensuring adequate housing stock, coordinating delivery of social and health care including mental health services, refined land -use planning to include mitigation goals and lessons learned from the disaster, support for business to help the economy rebound and maximal utilization of federal and state aid to recover disaster costs. Because long-term recovery is a partnership among all segments of the community, ESF-14 Coordinator and primary agencies will work through this ESF and commence a transition to the County Recovery Plan. Based on the disaster, this will include the appropriate partnerships with cities, major businesses, and non -governmental organizations to defining the recovery priorities. A catastrophic disaster will require vision to incorporate possibly a change of life and system and incorporate mitigation projects that will reduce the same vulnerabilities in the future. Many of the processes included in Short -Term Recovery continue under Long -Term Recovery, albeit with different priorities and emphasis. For example, emergency road repairs made during or immediately after the Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 14 - 4 ESF #14 — Long Term Recovery Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo response phase might suffice for a time, but will ultimately need to be brought up to normal road standards during the Long -Term Recovery phase. 2. Leaders will have to weigh in on economic as well as environmental priorities and work closely with Department of Defense leaders to support mission critical services and get bases running again and citizens back to work. Other processes include: • Analyze post -disaster conditions and opportunities for restoring the community to pre -disaster conditions or better • Initiate hazard abatement and mitigation • Initiate housing recovery • Identify methodology for local business recovery and temporary business resumption • Provide support for essential economic facility recovery (military bases, transit, highways) • Maximize available state and federal assistance. 4. The process of recovery will include community groups and governments defining recovery processes to include: • Strategies to plan for recovery of hardest high areas while allowing "normal" functions to continue in unaffected areas. • Strategies for community participation and investment of stakeholders. • How to reorganize and reduce "red tape" and policy -adoption process for recovery. 5. The Kitsap Hazard Mitigation Committee will meet to discuss strategies and recommend projects for available mitigation funds. IV. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Mitigation Activities It is the responsibility of the Cities, County, and other agencies to mitigate, when possible to reduce disruption to their systems caused by hazards in the Puget Sound Region. Collaborating with Kitsap County Emergency Management on matters affecting hazard vulnerabilities is essential to improved response measures. Other efforts to remove barriers to restoration can help to mitigate losses and reduce restoration times which help the community to return to normalcy. An ongoing Mitigation Program can reduce the effects of catastrophic events and strengthen recovery activities. Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 14 - 5 ESF #14 — Long Term Recovery B. C.

Coordinate with other jurisdictions for support and resources VII. ACTION The County EOC is the central coordination center for ESF actions. During an emergency, County officials, using ICS principles and situational assessment, will determine the extent of response to an emergency in Kitsap County. Upon Activation of the County EOC, the Disaster Manager will coordinate response efforts based on the size and complexity of the emergency as well as coordinate and order resources to conduct emergency restoration. Should the need arise; ESF-14 will be activated to support short and long term recovery and County/City Restoration. A. Joint Primary Agencies Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (EOC) There are numerous agencies, beginning with Kitsap DEM (EOC) that will begin the process of recovery. For Kitsap DEM, this begins with a situational assessment and estimation of life, buildings, economic and environmental losses associated with the event and exhaustion of County/City Resources. This will results in requests to the Governor for help and eventually an need for a national response. DEM will begin with: • Activation of ESFs to respond and recovery from the event. This includes ESF-21 Damage Assessment. • Coordination of emergency repairs to support critical response efforts • Provision of shelter and other essentials for displaced citizens • Transition of activities to the Kitsap County Recovery Plan • Ongoing coordination of short and long term recovery operations. • Coordinate meetings among local public jurisdictions, Washington EMD, and FEMA to fulfill the documentation requirements for obtaining federal recovery program assistance. The EOC is the focal point for triage and prioritization decisions regarding the restoration of critical services and infrastructure such as utilities, government operations, medical services, transportation routes, cleanup, debris removal, abatement of dangerous buildings and providing emergent support to residents and businesses. 2.

Non -Profit and Non -Government Organizations There are various organizations during the Recovery phase of a disaster that will provide program assistance to meet the needs of the public. They include the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and other non-profit or non -government organizations that will stand up and provide assistance to the citizens of Kitsap. Kitsap County has various Memorandum of Understandings with local agencies to support collaboration among groups that provide assistance during disasters. The MOUs would be activated during the response and recovery phase to activate resources and come to the aid of citizens to include vulnerable populations. Representative of these groups should become part of ESF-6, Mass Care and Housing in order to assign responsibilities and coordinate efforts. Representative may be called upon during long term recovery phase to provide ongoing support to the public. For example, donations management, defining affordable housing, provides meals and clothing, home care providers, to name a few. Washington State Emergency Management Division and FEMA Washington State and FEMA are responsible for activating State and Federal Resources to support short and long term recovery efforts. Washington State and FEMA will work together to conduct preliminary assessments of damage from the event and coordinate recovery efforts with affected communities. Washington State administers federally funded recovery programs. Some programs may be available without a presidential declaration of a disaster. Following a presidentially declared disaster, the state and federal government will jointly establish a Joint Field Office (JFO) from which they will temporarily operate to finish the response to a disaster and direct recovery efforts.

There are numerous federal programs that are available during emergencies or disasters. Some programs require a Presidential Disaster Declaration, other programs, such as the Small Business Administration and the Department of Agriculture, may make declarations under certain conditions. VIII. CATASTROPHIC DISASTERS In the event of a catastrophic disaster beyond the capabilities of local and state resources, the County may be subject to the prioritization and response outlined in the Puget Sound Catastrophic plan when activated. This may hinder response in Kitsap County for other life saving priorities in the Puget Sound Region. In any event, Kitsap County will work with the State to support life safety prioritization and restoration efforts. IX.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose To establish consistent policies and procedures within Kitsap County to ensure the effective dissemination of emergency information and instructions to the public before, during, and after a natural, technological or human -caused emergency or disaster. The overall goal is to protect lives and property in this jurisdiction Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 15 - 1 ESF #15 — External Affairs Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo B. Scope Emergency Support Function 15 (ESF-15) — External Affairs details the responsibilities for, and relationships that, enhance the processing, coordinating, and disseminating of emergency public information. The level of public information activity will be prioritized by the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) according to the severity of an emergency or disaster and the response will involve multiple county departments; county and city officials; state, tribal, and federal agencies; local businesses and non -profits; and the media, other regional partners, as well as the public. Processes described here are complimentary to state emergency plans and the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan. II. POLICIES A. When the Kitsap County EOC is activated for an emergency or disasters, it is essential information will be generated rapidly from multiple operational sources and must then be consolidated. To ensure its effectiveness, the gathering, coordination and dissemination of information will be consolidated in the Kitsap County Joint Information Center (JIC). B. The Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) Public Information Officer (PIO) Task Force is made up of professional PIOs and other trained personnel. All public and private organizations from Kitsap County are welcome to participate. C. During normal operations and emergencies, Task Force PIOs coordinate information from their respective locations in a process known as a Joint Information System (JIS). Depending on the severity of an emergency or disaster, members of the Task Force may be requested to support the Kitsap County JIC by working in the JIC or by coordinating through the JIS. D. In addition, the JIC will be responsible for sharing information regarding Kitsap County Government's continuity of operations and general activities to all employees during the disaster and recovery periods. E. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) has the broadest means to give an initial warning to the public. It will be used where time -sensitive, life -threatening situations may impact the public, and immediate action is needed for their safety. F. The Joint Information Center will usually be located at the County EOC but may operate virtually or remotely dependent upon circumstances.

The Vulnerable Population Plan Annex H will address ADA, elderly, children, people with English as a second language and all other vulnerabilities citizens' may experience in everyday life or encounter as the result of a disaster for the JIC to abide by. III. SITUATION A. Emergency/Disaster Conditions and Hazards 1. Kitsap County is subject to many hazards that may disrupt normal everyday operations by impacting schools, transportation, utilities, naval base activities etc. which may have widespread affect. 2. The hazards addressed in the basic plan and in the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Analysis includes: Severe Weather, Urban Flooding, Pandemic, Drought, Tsunami and Seiche, Earthquake, Dam Failure, Wildland Fire, Landslide, Hazardous Materials Release, Terrorism, Cyber Terrorism, Civil Disorder, and Transportation Incident. 3. Except for isolated, low -probability incidents, no hazard has been identified that would require the entire population of the county and its four cities to evacuate. Due to the nature, transportation corridors and layout of the county, a full scale evacuation would be highly improbable. B. Planning Assumptions In an emergency or disaster, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) will be available for use. Normal methods of communication in areas affected by an emergency may be damaged or destroyed resulting in limited and incomplete information from that area until communications are restored. The most appropriate tools will be used such as billboards, flyers, social media, website, door to door, broadcast (TV and radio), cable, GovDelivery, and newsprint. 3. In most emergencies and disasters, sufficient support from the KCDEM PIO Task Force will be available to coordinate public information between agencies and respond to media inquiries. 4. Demands for information from media outside the county will increase significantly. In a major disaster, Kitsap County, the state's Emergency Management Division (EMD) of the Washington Military Department, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other response agencies Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 15 - 3 ESF #15 —External Affairs Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo will coordinate their information with the Kitsap County JIC, either at the JIC or by working in JIS. 6. If a major disaster imposes demands that may exceed the public information efforts of the KCDEM PIO Task Force and Kitsap County JIC, the Kitsap County PIO may seek outside support. Such requests will be coordinated through the Logistics Units of the Kitsap County EOC and State EOC. Potential sources of support include the Washington Emergency Public Information Network (WEPIN), EMD, FEMA, and other agencies and organizations. This effort will follow the guidance in the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Coordination Plan. KCDEM uses the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) in planning for an all -hazards response to an emergency or disaster; and trains all emergency personnel to follow the Incident Command System in a response. Regardless of the nature of the emergency or disaster, the dissemination of accurate, timely, and coordinated information will be critical to ensure public safety and health. Rumors and misinformation may cause unnecessary distress. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General 1. The severity of an emergency or disaster, and the accompanying activation level of the Kitsap County EOC, will define the trigger point for activating the Kitsap County JIC to rapidly gather, coordinate and disseminate essential information. Public Information includes rumor control, informing vulnerable populations, public instructions to avoid hazards, shelter advisories, and coordination with local media outlets and regional partners. 3. The Joint Information System and the Joint Information Center may both include the efforts of cities; special purpose districts; nonprofit organizations (e.g. American Red Cross, Salvation Army); other counties; state, federal, and international representatives; tribal representatives; and businesses. 4. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-15 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center.

The PIO Task Force is made up of the Kitsap support agencies that reside in the county and are willing to support a Joint Information Center. A list of member agencies is kept by the DEM PIO. Activation is determined by the DEM Public Information Officer through the KCDEM Alert and Warning Program. Response will depend on availability and nature of the emergency. B. Organization During Phase 1 and Phase 2 EOC activations, the Kitsap County PIO will manage public information needs in consultation with the Kitsap County EOC Incident Manager. The Kitsap County PIO will coordinate information with PIOs from city and county agencies if that support is required. The Kitsap County PIO may activate the Joint Information System and request additional support from the KCDEM PIO Task Force, as appropriate. 2. During Phase 3 and Phase 4, the Kitsap County PIO in consultation with the Kitsap County EOC Disaster Manager will activate the Kitsap County JIC. 3. The JIC Manager will be in charge of JIC operations as outlined in the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management Joint Information Center Operations Manual. The Kitsap County PIO will assume the position of JIC Manager until additional staff from the KCDEM PIO Task Force and other sources arrive to assist. The JIC Manager will report to the Lead PIO or Unified Lead PIOs for the response. 4. When the response to an emergency or disaster involves multiple jurisdictions, a JIC may be established remote from the Kitsap County EOC at a location determined by Incident Commander/Unified Command. This JIC will maintain direct contact with the EOC and Incident Command Post, and may be staffed by PIOs from responding jurisdictions. Whether or not it is co -located with state/federal information efforts, this JIC will coordinate the release of information with those agencies. C. Procedures 1. Checklists, position descriptions, and standard operating procedures can be found in the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management Joint Information Center Operations Manual on the EOC server or as hard copy in the EOC. 2. All messaging developed by the JIC will be reviewed by the Lead PIO/Unified PIOs and approved by the Incident Commander/Unified Commanders. Public warnings, notification messages and other information products will be produced Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 15 - 5 ESF #15 — External Affairs Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo by the JIC from operational information it gathers about response activities, protective actions and recovery services. 3. Depending on the emergency situation and available technology, the methods for disseminating emergency public information and instructions will be determined by the JIC Manager in consultation with the Lead PIO/Unified PIOs. 4. The JIC may use multiple outlets for dissemination, including traditional media (radio, television, and newspapers); KCDEM's PIER website system; social media (Twitter, Facebook, and other applications); a telephone hot line or citizen call center; door-to-door alerting and mobile public address systems; and community meetings. The JIC will manage rumor control during the response and recovery. The JIC may produce special instructions and provisions for hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and other vulnerable groups, as needed. If the JIC needs to communicate with non-English speaking communities, translation services will be coordinated through the Kitsap County EOC. D. Prevention and Mitigation Activities Public education is the primary prevention and mitigation activity of the public information system. Maintaining the JIC equipment is done during yearly inventory. E. Preparedness Activities The Kitsap County PIO and KCDEM PIO Task Force will provide PIO and JIC training for all four cities and the county on an annual basis. Preparedness activities involving the PIOs from multiple agencies in planning, training, and exercises. Undertakings include, key messaging, drafting releases, tabletop exercises, PIER trainings and reviewing procedures annually. 2. After major exercises the Kitsap County PIO will review the AAR Improvement plans and integrate changes as needed. Evaluations by participants are also used to update and refine procedures and plans. F. Response Activities 1. Response activities are based on the needs of the stakeholders and priorities within the EOC. 2. Activities could include media briefings, phone banks, more EAS notifications social media and website posts, updating the dashboard, Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 15 - 6 ESF #15 —External Affairs Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo maintaining an adequate staffing levels, video posting, TV/radio interviews, press releases and community meetings. All these efforts are coordinated with the logistics, planning and operations sections within the EOC and the ESFs that are actively engaged in response activities. 4. Once response actions are in place recovery activities will need to be addressed. These actions could include damage assessment, unmet needs of the community and any type of temporary housing requests such as shelters. Citizens need to be informed of these events sooner than later. Many of these functions, because they are of a regional nature, are identified in the Puget Sound Regional Catastrophic Disaster Plan. G. Recovery Activities 1. The Kitsap County Recovery Plan identifies steps to begin making short- term improvements as part of returning the public lives back to normal. Communication processes are an important part in the recovery efforts as well as the response and warning. 2. Within 72 hours Preliminary Damage Assessment documentation is being collected. Public Assistance and Individual Assistance from the federal government is also beginning and is a vital step towards a quick recovery. Public information has to make sure the population knows and understands what is expected from these activities. After a few days a Disaster Recovery Center will be established to assist the public in assessing their needs. 4. Debris disposal along with Points of Distribution Center information will come from the JIC. Unmet needs are addressed at this time and will include future housing prospects, if needed. Public information will keep the public, media and stakeholders up to date with the short- and long-term recovery process. Achieving full recovery may take months, even years, as it will involve the investigation and documentation of damages to, and destruction of, lives, property and the environment, and require coordinated and concerted efforts by multiple local, state, and federal agencies. 6. Community meetings may need to be held as a means of sharing and gathering information. V. RESPONSIBILITIES A.

INTRODUCTION A. General During complex or catastrophic emergencies, it may be necessary to call upon local Department of Defense organizations and the Washington State National Guard to save human life, prevent human suffering or minimize property damage. In Kitsap County, has 5 military bases all of which may experience the same issues imposed on the County. Only cooperation among all installations and County/City agencies is paramount to preserving human life and recovery efforts. Ongoing collaborative training, planning and exercising is paramount to a successful response. When a Presidential declaration is signed, regional Military installations will provide support to all affected through the Nation's Defense Support for Civilian Authorities doctrine. B. Purpose To describe the circumstances and conditions under which units of the Washington State National Guard (WSNG)and the Department of Defense (DOD) can provide Defense Support to Civilian Authorities (DSCA). Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 20 - ESFW20 — Defense Support Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo 2. To describe the procedures used to obtain military support. To provide for the effective coordination and use of Department of Defense assets during an emergency or disaster. C. Scope This Emergency Support Function (ESF) addresses all requests for military support originated by Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) following a Proclamation of a Local Emergency. Specific actions under this ESF to be taken following an emergency will be determined by the level of resources needed to support response to the incident. II. POLICIES A. State and federal military forces remain under the direct control of their respective military chains of command. WSNG personnel and equipment will remain under the operational control of the designated military task force commander or the state emergency operations center (SEOC). B. In the event of a Presidential Declaration, The Adjutant General (TAG) will deploy resources of the WSNG in a federally -funded status in response to an emergency involving imminent loss of life, to prevent great suffering and/or to mitigate great destruction of property, in accordance with federal regulations and statutes. As soon as the emergency situation is stabilized, the WSNG will begin to withdraw support unless the Governor directs the TAG to order the WSNG into state active duty. C. Without a Presidential Declaration of Emergency, WSNG deployment comes with an expense with the requester being responsible for payment. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. A serious incident will require the activation of the WNG and/or Department of Defense military branches to support emergency operations in Kitsap County or one of its Cities. B. Kitsap County and its Cities have exhausted all resources or required specialized forces or equipment and have requested assistance through the State Emergency Management Division. Military assistance is considered supplemental to local efforts and will not be requested unless and until applicable local responses have been, or will imminently be, exhausted. C. Depending on the scope of the event, Kitsap County officials are empowered to directly request assistance or active appropriate agreements with local military agencies. Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 20 - ESF120 — Defense Support Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo D. The military is capable of providing a wide range of support to local governments during an emergency or disaster. E. All requests for military assistance, except requests during imminently serious situations as described herein, will be submitted to the Washington State Emergency Management Division (EMD) through Kitsap County DEM. F. Military support may be delayed until a state of emergency is proclaimed by the Governor or a Presidential Disaster Declaration has been issued. G. When deployed to provide DSCA, military forces will work under the direction of local authority, but will retain their unit integrity and military chain of command. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General 1. State and Federal Military branches are well represented in Kitsap County. The Navy has five military bases including the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and the WNG, several units stationed in the County. The U.S. Coast Guard also has a presence in the County providing immediate support to incidents on the water when they occur. Kitsap County DEM has always maintained a excellent relationship with these organizations acknowledging that any emergency will require all of us to protect the citizens in Kitsap. 2. It will be up to the State to determine the appropriate means of meeting the County's request, including the use of military assets. 3. Defense support to civil authorities is normally executed as a military operation where federal military forces remain under Department of Defense command and control. Although, like all response agencies, Federal military installations and personnel have be trained in NIMS/ICS. State resources will be managed in accordance with NIMS/ICS requirements until officially declared as a federal force. 4. Kitsap County will request military support through the Governor via the Director of State Emergency Management. Under RCW 38.08.040, Kitsap County DEM will request WNG support through the Washington State Emergency Operations Center or Duty Officer. The request may be as simple as a WNG liaison officer to support a coordination effort between the County and State. 5. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-20 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the Revised: July 1, 2015 ESF 20 - ESFN20 — Defense Support B. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. Activation If DEM is aware of a specific resource owned by the military and needed, the specific resource may be identified in the request sent to the State EOC. 2. In an imminently serious situation, DEM may request assistance from the local military Commander. An imminently serious situation is one in which there is an imminent threat to life and/or to property which will cause human suffering. The base commander of a military installation has the authority to respond to immediate life -threatening emergencies. Requests made under these circumstances may be made directly to the local installation. Assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard may be requested through EMD. All other requests for military assistance must be submitted to EMD through DEM. 4. The National Guard may be available following activation by the Governor. Requesting National Guard assistance must be submitted to EMD through DEM. To obtain National Guard assistance, the City must demonstrate that the need is beyond its capability or that a special capability provided only by the military is immediately required. 6. Under the Posse Comitatus Act, Federal military forces with the exception of the U.S. Coast Guard, cannot engage in direct law enforcement activities, such as arresting individuals or conducting surveillance. However, they are allowed to provide indirect support, such as loaning equipment or providing technical assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies. V.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose The Damage Assessment ESF is designed to encompass all activities associated with Rapid Assessment or "windshield tours", Damage Assessment, Building Inspections and related automated processes to capture data and generate reports to local, state and federal agencies which may benefit by or require damage assessment reports and information. B. Scope This ESF applies to all damage assessment activities in Kitsap County related to damage resulting from natural, technological, and human - caused disasters. The damage methodologies have changed over the years, but now incorporate GIS and software programs to capture and develop Public and Private Assistance data as well as analysis information necessary for defining areas with the greatest need. The primary document for conducting assessment is Annex F the CEMP entitled Kitsap County Damage Assessment Plan. Effective July 1, 2105 ESF 214 ESF 21: Damage Assessment Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo II. RELATED POLICIES Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management has established the protocols for Damage Assessment including, but not limited to, Rapid Assessment ("windshield tour"), Damage Assessment, Damage Assessment Data Collection Program, and Building Inspection as an annex to the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Law enforcement agencies are the primary organizations with public works and other county and city government agencies assisting as available and needed. It also provides assessment processes for critical facilities for submission to EOC during disasters. Annex F to the Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is the Damage Assessment Plan. This plan is the foundation document for all phases of Damage Assessment to include, Rapid Assessment, Damage Assessment and Building Inspection Damage Assessment throughout the duration of a disaster event and the following recovery period. It is designed to build on information validation from initial windshield tour assessments through recovery as State and Federal assistance arrive to assess the damages caused by the event. III. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS A. There are three phases of damage assessment: 1. Rapid Assessment - Urgent, for rapid assessment of what has happened county -wide for locations know to be critical infrastructure or high risk population locations to prioritize initial response activities and determine the immediate need for outside assistance (often referred to as a "windshield tour"); and 2. Damage Assessment - Detailed, to document the magnitude of private and public damage for planning recovery activities and to justify requests for state and federal assistance. During the Damage Assessment phase Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management's Damage Assessment Data Management Program which can be used to further identify areas of greatest damage and displacement as well as generate reports needed by Washington's Emergency Management Division and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Building Inspection — This third phase is when all structures are inspected in great detail for insurance and federal claims for loss and damage. This phase may take days, weeks or even Effective July 1, 2105 ESF 212 ESF 21: Damage Assessment Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo months after significant events involving widespread damage (such as a significant seismic event). B. Initial reports may be fragmented and provide an incomplete picture of the extent and magnitude of damage to the community. A. There may be a shortage of individuals qualified to assess the damage. D. Cities, special purpose districts, and public utilities will make detailed damage assessment reports to the county. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS After any hazardous event, which impacts Kitsap County, a damage assessment of the affected area will be conducted. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-21 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. A. Rapid Assessment A rapid assessment is needed to provide the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and first responders with an immediate sense of the types and magnitude of damage and of the condition of the transportation and communications infrastructure. This type of assessment is sometimes referred to as a windshield assessment. The primary purpose of a windshield is a quick assessment to establish life safety priorities for responders. Rapid damage assessment will generally begin during the hazardous event, such as a flood or windstorm, or immediately following, such as after an earthquake, and continue until the EOC has developed a picture of the types and magnitude of damage throughout the county Initial, urgent reports may be provided by county organizations, county employees, the media or the public. Damage reports from county organizations or employees should be as concise yet informative as possible and without delay. Reports of damage should not be delayed to gather detailed information. As a minimum, urgent reports should contain a location, type of damage, magnitude of damage, whether personal injury or death is involved, and whether immediate assistance is needed to save lives. Effective July 1, 2105 ESF 21 3 ESF 21: Damage Assessment Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Rapid assessment reports will be made to the EOC by the most expeditious means under the circumstances. When life is in danger, information should be immediately provided to 911 and not the EOC. Rapid assessments are designed to determine the extent of response and availability of responders. Although difficult to contemplate, it may be prudent to bypass an apparently urgent situation to continue damage assessment activities. There may be an even more urgent need down the road. Following urgent damage assessment, and as necessary, responders will establish response priorities, attending to the needs of the public in a way that provides maximum life-saving potential. If local resources are insufficient to respond to all urgent needs in a timely manner, additional resources will be requested through mutual aid agreements or through the EOC. EOC staff will analyze the information received, develop countywide response priorities and coordinate resources accordingly. EOC staff will also disseminate damage information to appropriate government officials, the media, and the public. B. Damage Assessment A detailed damage assessment is needed to document the magnitude of private and public damage for planning recovery activities, to justify requests for state and federal assistance, and to meet the information needs of the public. Detailed damage assessment will generally begin during the response activities by resources not needed for life safety measures. Depending on the nature and magnitude, damage assessment could last for several days. In general, Each jurisdiction will continue public and infrastructure damage assessment and support private assessments in their communities. Initial detailed damage assessment of residential and business structures will be conducted by law enforcement and government agencies personnel in the field as well as by the American Red Cross. The ARC data will be provided to the EOC, which will add value and insurance information through the Damage Assessment Data Management Program. When requested, EOC or DEM staff will forward private damage assessment information to the state for determination of whether Kitsap County qualifies for state and federal assistance for individuals, families and businesses. Effective July 1, 2105 ESF 214 ESF 21: Damage Assessment Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Completed preliminary damage assessment forms will be returned to the EOC or DEM staff. Staff will compile the information and, when requested, forward it to State Emergency Management for a determination of whether Kitsap County qualifies for state and federal public assistance. Generally, preliminary damage assessment forms must be provided to the state before any determination is made as to the availability of public assistance. Any county organization or public agency suffering damage from a hazardous event will document the damage on preliminary damage assessment forms available from the Emergency Operations Center or Department of Emergency management staff. Forms can be found in Annex F. County EOC staff will disseminate damage information to appropriate government officials, the media, and the public. Depending on the nature of the hazard, such as an earthquake or flood, the Kitsap County and City Department of Community Development will conduct structural inspections of privately owned structures and businesses to determine whether they are safe to enter or to occupy. Subsequent engineering evaluations to determine corrective action or to appeal the county's action, will be the responsibility of the property owner or occupant. They will work with ESF-6 to insure citizens are safe and have a place to go should be need to evacuate their home. Additional county organizations may be involved with private damage assessment depending on the nature of the hazard, information received by the EOC, information discovered by the building inspectors, or decisions made by the Disaster Recovery Team. C. Building Inspection Damage Assessment Detailed damage assessment of public property and facilities will be conducted by the owner or organization. Specialized assistance will be requested from appropriate county organizations or private sources, as appropriate. Detailed building inspection damage assessment after a significant event can be expected to take weeks to months to complete in areas where all or most structures have sustained some potential damage. Information received can continue to be added to the County's damage assessment software for analysis and management.

RESPONSIBILITIES A. Mitigation Activities It is the responsibility of all Kitsap agencies to mitigate, when possible to reduce disruption to their systems caused by hazards in the Puget Sound Region. Collaborating with Kitsap County Emergency Management on matters affecting damage assessment is essential to providing critical and sustaining resources to the citizens of Kitsap. Obviously, the best effort in mitigation is working with other partners to identify future mitigation projects to minimize the impact from disasters. Removing barriers to restoration can help to mitigate losses and reduce restoration times which help the community to return to normalcy. B. Preparedness Activities Preparedness measures should include personal, family and facility preparedness to ensure employees can respond to emergencies. This includes: • Having a plan in place for response to emergencies • Participation in training and exercises • Understanding and participating in the National Incident Management System • Working with local emergency management prior to winter storm systems to improve response efforts. • Maintain notification rosters for CenCom 911, Kitsap DEM and other agencies to support response efforts. • Developing public awareness programs for support vulnerable population preparedness efforts. • Train on damage assessment programs to improve the capacity to conduct disasters during arduous events C. Response Activities Primary response activities include those to minimize the loss of lives and property damage. Providing and maintaining an avenue for essential resources is important to keeping people in their homes and supporting community restoration. It is essential that rapid assessment concentrate on lifelines and critical facilities to insure first responders can support life safety measures in Kitsap. Once an event is stabilized, more thorough damage assessment can be conducted to ascertain information for priority response and recovery activities. In a catastrophic event, Kitsap EOC will have a limited source of agencies Effective July 1, 2105 ESF 21 b ESF 21: Damage Assessment Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo capable of carrying out roles and will need state and federal guidance and support. These activities include: • Rapid Damage Assessment: concentrating on lifelines and emergency response priorities • Damage Assessment: identifying damaged facilities in accordance with Annex F "Critical facility Priorities." • Building Inspections: thorough building inspections to determine extent of damages, restoration costs and occupancy. D. Recovery Activities Recovery activities are important to the restoration of services and the welfare of Kitsap. It helps to return the County to normalcy by getting businesses open, schools open, and folks back to work. Recovery will involve the collaboration with state and federal agencies and working to potentially restore the entire Puget Sound Region, and specifically essential facilities, like hospitals. Recovery activities include: • Document Damage assessment and restoration profiles • Coordinate with local agencies to identify priority needs • Manage any food, water, or services allocation and distribution programs • Coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies during the implementation of catastrophic response and recovery plans • Work with the Joint Field Officer and other federal and state agencies to define damage assessment tools and coordination to benefit stricken citizens and provide necessities for a safe and secure environment. • Work with ESF-14 for long term community recovery and mitigation efforts. • Coordinate with other ESFs in support of mass care, health and medical and long term community recovery.

CATASTROPHIC DISASTERS In the event of a catastrophic disaster beyond the capabilities of local and state resources, ESF-21 may be subject to the prioritization and response outlined in the Puget Sound Catastrophic plan when activated. This may hinder response in Kitsap County for other life saving priorities in the Puget Sound Region. In any event, Kitsap County will work with the State to support life safety prioritization and restoration efforts. Rapid Assessment will be paramount in identifying significant life safety priorities in Kitsap County and providing that information to State Planners as catastrophic planning is mobilized in the region.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose The purpose of this Emergency Support Function (ESF) is to identify roles and responsibilities involved with how Washington State and the Federal Government will provide support to Kitsap County during all phases of emergency management. B. Scope This ESF provides a general overview of select state and federal agencies that could provide support to Kitsap County during disasters. For specific information on how support will be provided by state and federal agencies, refer to the respective plans and procedures of those agencies. II. POLICIES It is the policy of Kitsap County and city governments that locally elected government officials will remain in control during all emergencies and disasters. There are provisions under state and federal law where the state or federal government could assume the direction and control of county level functions should there be a total breakdown of county and/or city government. III. SITUATION A. Emergency/Disaster Conditions and Hazards See the Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)-Basic Plan and the Kitsap County's Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) 2015. B. Planning Assumptions State and federal governments will support Kitsap County disaster response efforts when requested. When there is a wide spread disaster that impacts a significant portion of the state or country, it could take three days (or possibly longer) before significant state or federal resources arrive to assist Kitsap County. In a catastrophic event, resources would be limited and priorities established throughout the region to respond to life safety and critical resource restoration. Kitsap County and City governments and Kitsap County jurisdictions are encouraged to plan for continuity of operations and continuity of government services. If adequate continuity of government planning is accomplished and procedures are followed, it is assumed that there will be less need for state or Effective July 1, 2105 ESF 22 - 2 ESF #22 — State and Federal Support Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo federal officials to assume county government roles and responsibilities. See the Kitsap County CEMP-Basic Plan, Planning Assumptions. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. General Each county, city or town is required by state law (RCW 38.52) to have or contract for an active and ongoing emergency management program. It is the responsibility of Kitsap County government and individual municipalities Kitsap County Emergency Management Plan ESF 22, State and Federal Support is to provide for the safety and welfare of their citizens and their collective economic well-being. During all phases of emergency management, governments will work in partnership with one another, and members of the private and nonprofit sectors to prepare constituencies for emergencies and disasters. During emergencies or disasters involving one of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities, ESF-22 may be activated at the affected city's Emergency Operations Center for better coordination and control of the function. Such action, when taken, will be accomplished with the knowledge of and cooperation from the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center. B. Organization Kitsap County is responsible for providing emergency management services to unincorporated areas of the county, and for coordinating the support of Kitsap County cities on a regional basis. There are two federally recognized tribes in Kitsap County (Port Gamble S'Klallam and Suquamish) that, as sovereign tribal nations, have authority to request assistance directly from Kitsap County government, Washington State or the Federal government. C. Procedures During response and recovery operations, cities are expected to exhaust all their locally available governmental and private resources within their jurisdiction and their fire/emergency zone before requesting assistance from Kitsap County government and the Kitsap County Emergency Operation Center (EOC). Kitsap County government will exhaust known governmental and private resources before requesting support from the state. When a disaster or emergency happens, the Kitsap County EOC will request a mission number from the Washington EMD. Effective July 1, 2105 ESF 22 - 3 ESF #22 — State and Federal Support 0 E. Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo Any resource requests will be requested through the WA EMD, or the Washington Emergency Operations Center (EOC) if activated, as detailed in the Kitsap County CEMP, ESF 7-Resource Support. Depending on the severity of the disaster and if the Governor has forwarded a request for a presidential declaration, a mission assignment for state or federal aid and assistance may be requested. Liaison positions will be established in the Kitsap County EOC for state and federal liaisons. Mitigation Activities The state administers a federally funded mitigation program following each disaster. Funds are allocated to individual local jurisdictions on a competitive basis. Following a disaster, FEMA administers a mitigation program that funds projects that will mitigate disasters of a similar nature in the future. This program is administered by the State of Washington following federal criteria. Kitsap County Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved in 2014 and includes both the County and its incorporated cities. Preparedness Activities Washington State Emergency Management Division (EMD) provides planning, training, public education and exercise assistance to local jurisdictions at the local jurisdictional and county level. EMD works in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide training classes throughout the state. EMD also administers state and local grants, and federal funding for the County's and local emergency management programs (EMPG, SHSP, UASI, and others). FEMA provides funding to support planning, training and exercising at the county level. These funds are provided to and administered by the state. FEMA also operates a national training facility, the Emergency Management Institute (EMI). This institute provides a variety of training to governmental personnel at the state and local level. Technical assistance is also available from FEMA for assistance with specific hazards or communications equipment. Kitsap County prepares for emergencies through a series of assessment programs to determine the sustainment level of County/City capabilities. This includes Homeland Security THIRA program and gap analysis. Because of the numerous military installations in Kitsap, Kitsap County DEM and other agencies responsible for responding to emergencies, collaborates with local Department of Defense partners and conduct annual training and exercises to maintain a minimum stand of response and recovery standards.

Ordinance 005-16 Exhibit A Kitsap County, Washington Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Kitsap County and the Cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo F. Response Activities The Washington State EMD operates the Washington State Emergency Operations Center (EOC). This includes the operation of a 24-hour Duty Officer position that provides for early warning and information dissemination to local jurisdictions and state agencies. When activated for disasters, the State EOC provides information, situational reports and updates, and support to local jurisdictions and tribes, and accumulates damage assessment data from counties and state agencies. After collecting and analyzing the data, the WA EOC makes recommendations to the Governor regarding response and recovery assistance needs. The Governor may proclaim a disaster to suspend normal contracting and budgetary procedures. If the assistance required exceeds the state's resources, the Governor may request help from the federal government. The federal government will initially begin operations to respond to a disaster from their FEMA Region X Regional Operations Center (ROC) located in Bothell, Washington. National level disaster teams may be dispatched from other areas of the country to assist with the regional damage assessment and response. A Joint Field Office (JFO) will be established jointly with the state at a location near the disaster area. The JFO will remain activated through the response effort and during the initial recovery period. Kitsap County, at the discretion of senior leadership, will request assistance from State and Federal agencies for emergent response activities and long term recovery efforts. There are numerous local memorandums of agreement to provide emergency services in Kitsap between local responders and DOD assets. G. Recovery Activities Washington State administers federally funded recovery programs. Some programs may be available without a presidential declaration of a disaster. Following a presidentially declared disaster, the state and federal government will jointly establish a Joint Field Office (JFO) from which they will temporarily operate to finish the response to a disaster and direct recovery efforts. Recovery is a long-term process that may take years to fully accomplish. There are numerous federal programs that are available during emergencies or disasters. Some programs require a Presidential Disaster Declaration, other programs, such as the Small Business Administration and the Department of Agriculture, may make declarations under certain conditions.
