This CEMP is written to address the specific concerns and needs of unincorporated Clallam County and its government. It is anticipated that each City, Tribe, and agency in Clallam County has designated Emergency Management staff that prepare for, take mitigation actions against, respond to, and recover from an emergency or disaster event according to its own plans. However, when the emergency demands exceed available resources, County staff support them in coordinating assistance from other local, state and federal emergency management agencies. The Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Addenda and ESF 10 to the CEMP are written in cooperation with the Local Emergency Planning Council (LEPC) of Clallam County. The Addenda expands the CEMP to meet the special planning requirements of SARA Title III and the National Response Team Criteria for Review of Hazmat Emergency Plans. The potential for rapid escalation, the limited resources available in a small community like Clallam County, and variables present in a situation which involves hazardous materials, present a challenge to any single response agency, so it is suggested that other agencies participate in promulgation of that section. There is a cooperative effort of Clallam County and the Cities of Port Angeles, Sequim and Forks, and the member agencies, Tribes, and organizations of the Peninsula Responder Emergency Planning (PREP) Council that may be utilized by Clallam County and other jurisdictions. Its approach of multi-jurisdictions helps to ensure the best use of local response and recovery resources in time of community-wide crisis. PREP meets regularly to train emergency personnel, conduct regular drills and exercises, and deliver consistent public education.

Made up of the three County Emergency Managers, as well as Tribal, law enforcement, fire, public utilities and medical representatives, the mission statement is to, “meet the necessary levels of availability and competence of emergency personnel and equipment across a variety of disciplines to efficiently mitigate, prevent, prepare, respond and recover from acts of terrorism, natural or man-made disasters to the extent possible.” Departmental plans describing emergency procedures are maintained in a notebook labeled as Volume III and accompanies the Clallam County CEMP. Clallam County is committed to carry out its responsibility to meet the demands of emergency management. We will continue to work with other agencies, Tribes, and the public to ensure that our community is prepared by developing, maintaining and enhancing our emergency management capabilities. The CEMP moves us one step closer to being able to minimize the impacts of emergency and disasters on people, property, the economy, and the environment.

The CEMP supports the National Response Framework Plan (NRFP) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The CEMP provides whole community guidance for mitigation, preparedness, planning, response and recovery through collaborative efforts and actions such as preparedness events, trainings, exercises, and joint response efforts to natural and man- made disasters. Its organizational structure provides the framework for our stakeholders and response partners to work together collectively with Clallam County regarding authorities, coordination of resources, functions and the individual responsibilities of local, state, federal, volunteer, private and public sector organizations. County department heads and elected officials are reminded to become familiar with the CEMP contents to be prepared to coordinate their respective resources during an emergent event and allow for the continuation of services during and following such a disaster. The CEMP is a dynamic document that is continually updated to meet changing needs and best practices learned through trainings, exercises, and real world events. As such, requests for changes or modifications should be directed to the Clallam County Emergency Management Unit Program Coordinators.
