2021-22: Due to budget cuts, the City had to pause on disaster preparedness. We need to reaffirm this priority by hiring a new coordinator and move forward with plans to develop and strengthen plans and procedures within the City to better prepare and respond to disasters. 2022-23: Staff training requirements have been surveyed, and many staff have taken needed training. As new staff are hired on, they are informed of the training requirements. COOP planning is on hold as the State is switching to a new COOP provider. We will resume when new system is in place. AAR from Cascadia Rising is in progress. 2023-24: We continue to work on a few remaining action items from the Cascadia rising 2022 exercise. We participated in the great shakeout and completed an evacuation drill for all city facilities. We placed a Conex Container in Agate Beach on Shell World Place and are currently filling it with supplies. |
