responsibilities of agencies, commissions, boards, and councils. This Plan is
intended as a comprehensive framework for citywide mitigation, preparedness,
response, and recovery activities.
City of Marysville August 2004
.---------------------------------
•
•
Scope
This Plan considers the emergencies and disasters likely to occur in the City of
Marysville as described in the 2002 Snohomish County Identification and-
VulnerabilitvAnalysis (HIVA)documentand provides:
1. A comprehensive general framework for effective use of govemment,
privatesectionand volunteer resources.
2. An outline of county,state and local govemment responsibilities in relation
to the federal disaster assistance programs under Public Law 93-288 as
amendedandother applicablelaws.
Policies
A.Authority
1. The City of Marysville Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan has
been developedand is maintained underthe following authorities:
a. FederalCivil DefenseAct of 1950,as amended.
b. Public Law 93-288,"DisasterReliefAct of 1974"as amended by PL
100-707,"Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
AssistanceAct".

authorized-establishment,operation,emergency powers, and
procedures
f. Marysville Municipal Code 2.12,EmergencyServices.
B.Assignment of Responsibilities
This Plan presents the functional responsibilities accepted by designated city
agencies and other organizations.These are listed in Section V.,Responsibilities
of the Citv of Marvsville CEMP BasicPlan.
Emergency Support Functions (ESFs),or specific areas of responsibility,would
have been established to designate mitigation,preparedness,response,and
recovery activities of specific emergency management functions.There is either
one agency, or joint primary agencies,with primary responsibilities of coordinating
each ESF, while other agencies are tasked with detailed functional ESF supporting
roles. Each ESF numbered 1-12 corresponds to the Countv and State
City of Marysville 2 Augusl2004
•
Comprehensive Emergency Plan and the Federal Response Plan (FRPl operation
and organization model, ESFs 13-19, and ESF's 25-29, are reserved for future
additions, and ESFs 20-24 are specificto Snohomish County.
C.Limitations
The city will endeavor to make every reasonable effort to respond in the event of an
emergency or disaster. However, city resources and systems may be
overwhelmed. The responsibilities and tenets outlined in the Plan will be fulfilled
only if the situation, information exchange, extent of actual agency capabilities, and
resources are availableat the time.
There is no guarantee implied by the Plan that a perfect response to emergency or
disaster incidentswill be practicalor possible.
III.Situation
1. The City of Marysville,due to its locationand geological features, is vulnerable
to the effects of major hazards both natural and technological. The close
proximity of the City of Marysvilleto Interstate5 and the City of
Everett/Snohomish County increases our vulnerability to technological
emergencies/disasters.
2. A major earthquake may hamper response by damaging bridges, overpasses,
roadways, transportation facilities, communications systems, and public safety
facilities.
3. Other disaster agents could damage various lifelines and thus reduce the
effectiveness of an emergency response. See the City of Marysville Hazard
Identification and Vulnerabilitv Analysis (HIVA) developed by the City
Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC), for a more detailed description
of the city's demographicsand geography.
4. This municipality has the responsibility to respond and direct operations to
disaster within their borders.
5. The City of Marysville is a member of the Snohomish County Department of
Emergency Management organization that provides emergency management
services to the City of Marysville.
6. The city contains several major rivers and numerous smaller streams all
susceptible to flooding. Flooding may inhibit emergency response by blocking
key roadways.

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT REPORTS
At the onset of a disaster in the community, the CEMO will to solicit information conceming
disaster-related problems from the publicand to conductan vital assessment of damage to homes,
businesses, farms, and personal property. The CEMO then completes damage assessment forms
in preparation for a visit by state and federal personnel, and in anticipation of possible federal
financial assistance.
The City of Marysville will assign a group of people to perform damage assessment at the time of
the disaster. This damage assessment team would take a first hand look at the damages the
community had suffered to individualsand businesses.
On arrival of state and federal personnel, Individual (families, individuals, and businesses)
Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) teams, which will include local representatives, are
formed. The teams will verify initial damage assessments and collect more information for further
reporting and action.
Public damage assessment will also be conductedfor publicfacilities.
Also necessary at the same time will be compilation of information for supplemental justification.
The information from both damage assessments and the supplemental justification must arrive at
the state Emergency Management at the same approximate time and will used to request federal
assistance.
Local Actions
Preparing for the PDA Team
Develop and implement a system to collect damage data. This should include
designation of staff and phones for taking information and training for various
organizations and staff onthe informationnecessary.
Collect detailed data on homes, businesses,farms, and personal possessions. As
the situation progresses and damage actually occurs, local government agencies
should solicit, collate, and supply information concerning damage to homes,
businesses, and farms within the jurisdiction. As information becomes available,
the city OEM should start recording the information on Form EMD-140 Damage to
the Private Sector. A sampleform isAttachment #1 to this chapter.
Work with local media to reach potential victims. As part of the information effort,
the city OEM should contact local news media (e.g., radio, TV, newspapers) to
request that people suffering damage to private property contact the Snohomish
County OEM (or other designatedagency)to report such damage withinjust a short
time.
Contact the local American Red Cross (ARC) Chapter. They will have information
on the number and disposition of persons being fed and housed in emergency
shelters. They also conduct private property damage assessment for their own
purposes in the first stagesof the disaster.
City of Marysville 101 Augusl2004
•
--------------------------------_.
Prepare a map(s) of the affect area(s). The city CEMO must also prepare a map to
reflect the locations of damaged property for use by the PDA on their arrival. A
sample map is shown as Attachment #2 to this chapter. Each area on the map can
be identified by a color as well as a number. Then each entry on the EMD-140 in a
given area should be highlighted by color so that team leaders know at a glance the
addresses located intheir area that they are responsible for assessing.
Obtain from the county assessor the median values for high-cost, medium-cost, and
low-cost homes in each area shown on the map.
Local Participation on the PDA Team
Identify staff to accompany the team. On arrival of the state and federal personnel
to the local area, one or more PDA teams will be formed to include members of
local agencies. Local representatives are vital to each team since they are also the
liaison between the PDA team and other local officials and citizens the team will
contact in the field
The number and formation of the Individual Assistance PDA teams will actually
depend on the information gathered on EMD-140's and the supporting maps prior
to the arrival of state and federal officials.
Provide some transportation. Although state and federal personnel provide some
transportation for onsite inspection, it may be necessary for city government to
supplement transportation, especially in hard-to-access areas.
Work with the teams in the field to survey damage and tally using the FEMA
Assessment Package that will be provided by state Emergency Management. PDA
teams, under the direction of the state member, proceed to assigned areas where a
detailed assessment of damage is made. Teams visit sites, talk to people, and
gather information on damage.
Provide information which will be helpful in evaluating a possible Individual and
Family Grant Program request (Section 411, PL 93-288, as amended). This
information may include such factors as the number of low-income families in the
disaster area, the number of fixed income families, the unemployment rate, age,
and ethnic distribution. This information will be obtained only to the extent possible
without interfering with obtaining the other information required by this procedure.
Further guidance in this area will be offered to the PDA team by FEMA' Region X,
at the time state and federal team members are activated in response to a disaster
incident.
No matter how accurate or successful this procedure proves to be, it will result in
estimates. Although the goal of this procedure is to improve the accuracy,
efficiency, and timeliness of Individual Damage Assessment, complete accuracy
simply is not possible. The results of the damage assessment will be tallied and
shared with all those providinq assistance in the disaster area.
Hopefully, this will result in less confusion and a more coordinated response. All
those using this information should be cautioned concerning the limitations of the
data, and the fact that variations should be expected between the estimates and the
cily of Marysville 102 Augusl2004
actual number of applications received when the disaster assistance programs are
underway.This information gathered is then transmitted or hand-earried to state
Emergency Management.It will provide the basis for the Govemor's review and
assistance or request forthe federal assistance.
Simultaneously gather and transmit supplemental justification information.

PRELIMINARY DAMAGE ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Reporting Damage to Public Agencies
At the onset of an emergency or disaster, the Washington Emergency Management Division
will try to determine the extent of the damages that occurred to public facilities.
We know that you will be very busy during such an occurrence, but we request that you:
1. Notify us that your city did NOT experience extensive damages to public roads, sewers,
water systems, schools, utility districts, etc., or
2.Forward completed preliminary damage assessment forms (DEM 129 and 130)-
•By EMAIL to:snodem.org
•By FAX:425-423-9152
This step will be necessary if we are to pursue federal assistance for your jurisdiction.If damage
assessment information is not received in a timely manner, we will not be able to include your
jurisdiction information in the initial assessment of needs for public facilities.
When the federal/state Preliminary Damage Assessment teams arrive in your city,you will
need to have a knowledgeable representative available to assist the teams in the review of the
damages.
At the onset of a disaster, the local emergency management office is requested to coordinate an
initial assessment of damage to affected public agencies (defined as:all local public
agencies -cities,towns,utility (water, sewer,electrical)and other special-purpose
districts,school districts,Indian tribes, fire districts,drainage districts,and diking
districts.
When completing the forms,please remember -the County is the coordination point for all
local public agencies.The information returned to this office should include all of these
agencies.
To prepare the initial assessment,each public agency Should complete a Preliminary Damage
Assessment Worksheet (OEM 129J- for each type of damage incurred by the disaster. Local
agencies fill out the form headers (general information)and the left side of the form.
After completing the worksheets,then the information for each category should be summarized
on the Preliminary Damage Assessment Summary form (DEM 130).
The intent of the forms is to depict the magnitude, impact,dollar damage, and what action is
going to be taken to deal with the situation. The worksheets and summary forms are forwarded
to the county emergency management office for coordination. The completion of these forms
will help determine whether a formal Preliminary Damage Assessment process should be
pursued.
Again,a separate worksheet needs to be completed for each type of work by each
affected public agency or Indian Tribe.
The types of work are:
• Category A -Debris Clearance -cleaning up debris off of publicly owned properties.
city of Marysville 105 August 2004
-------------------------------------_.__.-..
•Category B -Emergency Protective Measures -emergency response activities for the
protection of livesand property.
•Category C -Road Systems -the repairof damaged roads,roadsonthe federal aid
systemshouldbe estimated separately.
o When reviewing damages to roads,it is necessary to differentiate between roads
that are on-system roads versus off-system roads.
o On-system roads can generally be defined asthose roads for whichthe County
receives Federal Aid System funds.Information on damages for on-system roads
shouldbe forwarded tothe Regional Trans-Aid Engineer,Department of
Transportation.
•Category 0 -Water Control Facilities -damages to dikes,levees,drainage channels,
andothersimilar facilities.
•Category E -Public Buildings and Equipment -damages to publicly owned buildings,
their contents,and equipment.
