Emergency Manager of Jurisdiction: Date: CDEM Regi nal Field anager Date: O EMF 1 — Program Management Organization of local emergency management programs so that it is capable of coordinating emergency preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery activities across multiple agencies and organizations. The Weld County Local Emergency Planning Committee which the Weld County OEM chairs, is the organization that will be utilized for the coordination of emergency response and preparedness. Meetings will be held with local jurisdictions to coordinate operations plans and mitigate response and recovery activities. The LEPC will also be the lead organization for scheduling additional NIMS training. The Weld County Office of Emergency management reports to the Weld County Sheriff. The Emergency Manager works closely with the Northeast All-hazards region, the incorporated cities & towns and the county commissioners in the establishment of emergency operations plans, mitigation plans, and response & recovery issues in the event of a natural or man made disaster. This will continue in 2007 Intergovernmental agreements, mutual aid agreements are in place and all entities have, through signed agreements established NIMS as the standard for incident management. The ROSS requirement has been completed by all entities in the county and NIMS training for current paid & volunteer personnel should be completed by years end. The Weld County Office of Emergency Management also works closely with the State Division of Emergency Management and the Northeast All-Hazards Region in planning & exercising and preparing for disasters either natural or man made. EMF 2 - LAWS & AUTHORITIES Federal, State and Local statutes and any implementing regulations that establish legal authority for development and maintenance of the emergency management program and organization and define the emergency powers, authorities and responsibilities of the chief executive official and the emergency program manager. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) should be adopted as the standard for all incident management activities. I will assist local jurisdictions in the review of their Emergency Operations Plans. I will also maintain the Weld County Local Emergency Operation Plan (WCLEOP) to maintain its compliance with local, state and federal laws. The WCLEOP will be reviewed to make sure it is in compliance with any new federal or state mandates. The Weld County Office of Emergency Management was established by resolution by the Weld County Commissioners in 1988. EMF 3 — HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT & IMPACT ANALYSIS The process of identifying situations or conditions that has the potential of causing injury to people, damage to property, or damage to the environment, and the assessment of the likelihood, vulnerability, and magnitude of incidents that could result from exposure to hazards. . Review of WCLEOP thru exercises, committee meetings and local incidents and critiques to identify any necessary changes. A risk assessment for Weld County will be completed and reviewed with the LEPC and local Jurisdictions. A pre-hazard mitigation plan was prepared & adopted in 2002. This was done in conjunction with the Northeast Region and was adapted specifically for Weld County. The risk-vulnerability assessment was updated in 2006. A Capabilities assessment will be started in late 2006 and should be completed by early 2007. EMF 4 - HAZARD MITIGATION Systematic management approach to eliminate hazards that constitute a significant threat to the jurisdiction or to reduce the effects of hazards that cannot be eliminated through a program of hazard mitigation The Weld County LEPC will be tasked to evaluate the changes to the WCLEOP and will be implemented through adoption by the WCBOCC and then published. EMF 5 - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Systematic development of methodologies for the prompt and effective identification, acquisition, distribution, accounting, and use of personnel and major items of equipment for essential emergency functions. Local jurisdictions will support the Colorado Resource Mobilization Plan by submitting resource information for inclusion in the Resource Ordering and Status System (ROSS)database. Meetings of emergency response agencies have been formed and will continue in the future to determine the needs of all Weld County and not just one agency or area. Grants are then requested on the basis of this analysis and submitted to North East Colorado All Hazards Committee (NECAHC)for submission as one regional grant. Members of the Weld County All Hazards Committee are representatives of emergency response agencies on the NECAHC. Weld County OEM will continue to assist fire agencies and law enforcement agencies in putting their resources in CO ROSS and assist with NIMS training Recordkeeping on all incidents are implemented prior to identification of any possible reimbursement or billing for service to assist in the most efficient use of local resources. EMF 6— MUTUAL AID Formal mutual aid agreements establish the capability for sharing response and recovery resources across jurisdictional lines. Local jurisdictions should participate in the statewide intergovernmental agreement for mutual aid. Continue to work with local governments to complete and /or update intergovernmental agreement. There are currently three meeting venues that this information can be shared in Weld County. EMF 7 - PLANNING The collection, analysis and use of information and also the development, promulgation, and maintenance of the organizational comprehensive emergency management plan, action plans and mitigation plans. Revisions to local emergency operations plans should conform to NIMS and the EMF model established under the National Response Plan. Special emphasis should be placed on planning for the specials needs of individuals with disabilities. Planning with special needs groups will help to update the Weld County EOP. Meetings with the Agency on Aging and Senior Citizen groups will help in this area. Establishing a Weld County VOAD will help in working to meet the needs for at risk citizens. After every major incident or exercise there is an "after action report' prepared that helps to identify any necessary changes to the WCLEOP. Once identified, the deficiencies are taken to a hazard specific committee. Suggested changes are reviewed for the best method of implementation. Weld County is currently working on updating the EOP to comply with ESF format. The Weld County Office of Emergency Management in conjunction with the Northeast All Hazards Region has participated in the development of regional plans which include Terrorism, Pre-Hazard Mitigation, Hazardous Materials, as well as the local emergency operations plan. These plans are all county specific and undergo periodic reviews. The Weld County Continuity of Operations Plan has been completed and will be adopted this fall. EMF 8— DIRECTION, CONTROL & COORDINATION Development of the capability of the chief executive and key local officials to direct,control and coordinate response and recover operations. Local jurisdictions should consider plan upgrades that address policies and procedures related to continuity of government(COG)operations. Chief Executives of local, state and federal agencies are invited to all Weld County OEM exercises and meetings. Meetings will be attended on a regular basis with elected officials to keep them updated on the latest issues involving the protection of life, property and the environment. FEMA and DEM handouts will be distributed and discussed with newly elected Chief Executives within Weld County. The Northeast region has a contractor working on a COG, when the plan is completed it will be shared with local governments and they will be encouraged to adopt the plan or work on a similar plan. EMF 9— COMMUNICATIONS &WARNING Development and maintenance of a reliable communications capability to alert public officials and emergency response personnel,warn the public, and effectively manage response to an actual or impending emergency. Area 3 Emergency Alert System (EAS)will be reviewed and any changes will be implemented into the WCLEOP. The review and implementation process will happen after every incident or exercise. This is a continual process. R*9*1*1 will be tested and procedures reviewed for implementation. Weld County has moved to 800 MHz radio system. Weld County OEM will participate in communications exercises and help with the evaluation of those exercises. Weld County OEM will help in the issuing of the NOAA weather radios to the schools in Weld County. This program is supported by Citizen Corps which Weld County OEM is a part of. EMF 10-OPERATIONS & PROCEDURES Development, coordination, and implementation of operational policies, plans and procedures. Weld County OEM will assist local jurisdiction with implementation and /or update their local emergency operation plan. Updates will include NIMS compliance. After hazards are identified a review committee will be established to identify necessary implementation of items into the WCLEOP. When state or federal mandates are received the same process will take place. Implementation of County Continuity of Operations Plan and a new county Emergency Operations Plan will be a priority for this year. EMF 11 — LOGISTICS & FACILITIES Identification, location, acquisition, distribution, and accounting for services, resources, materials, and facilities to support emergency management. All of the EMF 11 items are required to be completed on a daily basis in the operation of WCOEM. After a disaster or incident reports are prepared again using the EMF 11 items. Colorado law allows for billing for hazardous materials incidents as does SARA Title III, specific reports covering these items are mandatory for accountability of funds and assets. Weld County will assist agencies in the outlying parts of Weld County to obtain grants or funding to establish Emergency Operation Centers. These will be used as alternates or supplemental EOC's during emergencies for better coordination within Weld County. EMF 12 —TRAINING Assessment,development and implementation of a training/educational program for public officials and emergency response personnel, including NIMS classes. I will be attending classes through DEM and completing online classes with EMI, I will also attend other training in the area of emergency management as they come available. Weld County citizens will be encouraged to attend FEMA and take online classes to further emergency management knowledge in their respective communities. This will help Weld County when planning and reviewing the WCLEOP. Specific classes such as National Incident Management System and other natural hazard, planning and response classes will be scheduled for Weld County this year. These classes will be presented via grants or at minimal cost to support attendance by all needing the class. EMF 13 — EXERCISES, EVALUATIONS, AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS Assessment and evaluation of emergency response plans and capabilities through a program of regularly scheduled tests and exercises. Exercises and follow-up actions should conform with HSEEP standards for after-action reports and improvement plans. A full scale exercise will be planned and conducted in cooperation with emergency response agencies around the Greeley Weld County Airport This will include all the preplanning meetings as well as tabletop and functional exercises necessary to conduct the full scale exercise. The exercise will be designed around hazardous materials, and emergency response to the Airport. A full scale exercise is also planed in the Mead area dealing with a chemical release. The exercise will be a multi agency exercise to include Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement Other exercises will be done within our region and coordinated with other county OEM's. All exercises will meet the guidelines set by HSEEP. EMF 14- CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC EDUCATION & INFORMATION Procedure to disseminate and respond to requests for pre-disaster, disaster,and post-disaster information involving employees, responders,the public and the media. Also, an effective public education program regarding hazards affecting the jurisdiction. Meetings will be held to inform citizens, first responders, government employees and elected officials of new information from DEM, FEMA, DHS or others.

Updates will be presented to three different mayors groups, Weld County Chiefs of Police Association meeting, Weld County Fire Chiefs Association meeting, Weld County EMS board meeting, Weld County Local Emergency Planning Committee meeting and other groups or agencies requesting specific information. Information pamphlets will be developed and/or reviewed for the most common hazards in Weld County. These will be distributed to citizens along with informational talks. Weld County Citizens Corps Council will coordinate training in CERT and community outreach. This will help to educate Weld County citizens on preparedness Weld County will request the assistance of the National Weather Service in the presentation of Storm Spotter classes to help inform citizens and assist the county with timelier information regarding weather. EMF 15— FINANCE &ADMINISTRATION Development of fiscal and administration procedures to support emergency measures before, during, and after disaster events and to preserve vital records.

Recordkeeping will be maintained for all resources during an emergency or disaster for submission of reimbursement from any responsible agency. MISCELLANEOUS Please list and include any activities that do not fit into any of the above EMF categories. Weld County OEM is under the Weld County Sheriff and sometimes acts as the investigative and informational area for environmental crimes and prosecution. This will continue as drug cases and illegal dumping continue to rise. I will meet all requirements of C.R.S. to maintain my certification as a Peace Officer to be able to perform this function.
