Thurston Emergency Trick or Treat in the Hub City Center Set to Allow Quicker Responses By The Olympian The reaction time for emer- gencies in Thurston County is expected to go from hours to minutes once the new Emergen- cy Coordination Center is fully functional. Construction on the nearly $4 million, 12,000-square-foot facility off Tilley Road finished in April, providing a place poised for action in the case of earth- quakes, snowstorms, floods or other disasters. “Now it just depends on how soon we can get people in here,” said Kathy Estes, county emer- gency management manager. “The technology is there.” Before that happens, the build- ing must be included as the prima- ry center in the county’s emergen- cy management plan. That won’t happen until final audio-visual equipment is in place; installation began this week. January’s snow and ice storm and Hurricane Sandy highlighted the need for the new facility, said engineering services manager Brent Payton. The old Emergency Coordi- nation Center is off Pacific Av- enue, a shared space with the Thurston County 911 emergency services center.
