King County Comprehensive Emergency Management PlanThe King County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is for the use of elected and appointed County officials, and King County government department directors, managers and staff in mitigating, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural and technological disasters. This plan is a product of the coordinated planning efforts between the King County Office of Emergency Management, County departments, emergency management representatives from various political jurisdictions, and selected private and volunteer sector interests. It meets the requirements of RCW 38.52 and the Washington State Emergency Management Division's Comprehensive Emergency Management Planning Guide, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) guidance for the National Response Framework and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliance.The King County CEMP is organized in four parts: A. The Basic Plan outlines the disaster missions and responsibilities of County government, branches and departments. It also incorporates the Direction and Control appendix from the previous King County CEMP in an effort to consolidate and streamline the critical information needed for an incident. B. The Appendices to the Basic Plan include a variety of topics such as terms and definitions, acronyms and abbreviations, legal authorities, and training requirements. C. Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) describe the policies, situation, planning assumptions, concept of operations, and responsibilities for each ESF for King County government agencies. D. The Incident Annexes are specialized support documents that focus on specific areas of response and recovery. In order to view this plan, you must have Acrobat Reader.
