He said that a 18 consistent cyclical training program is most important. 19 Jim Groves reviewed the Basic Preparedness Planning information. He said that the 20 Emergency Operations Framework (EOF) is basically how the county does business for 21 significant emergencies and disasters. He said this outlines authorities, and assigns goals and 22 responsibilities within County government and Emergency Response Services. 23 Darshan Patel said the Building Specific Emergency Action Plan (EAP) takes the 24 principles of the EOF and applies them to a specific building. This covers medical 25 emergencies, weather emergencies and workplace threats. He said the EAP gives a response 26 framework and allows for specific training regimens for managers and employees in the 27 building. 28 Jeff Thompson said the "Know Your Building" program is specific to the building 29 features and processes for the employee and public who visit those buildings. He said the goal 30 is to do stress test drills once per year, per building. He said the drill is done and then the 31 responses of the building occupants, first responders and security systems are evaluated. 32 Commissioner Rich asked if the "Acts of God" can be changed to "Acts of nature", and 33 Jeff Thompson said yes. 34 Commissioner Pelissier asked how training of the EAP is done with employees of each 35 building. 36 Darshan Patel said there would be "zone wardens" identified and trained along with their 37 department directors in a two day seminar. He said all other employees would be given written 38 materials along with a one day seminar. He said there will also be reminder materials available 39 in each building for employees to refer to. 40 Commissioner Price asked if the zone wardens would have annual refresher courses. 41 Darshan Patel said there will be a one day refresher each year, before the stress test 42 drill is done. 43 Commissioner McKee asked who would oversee the actual stress test. 44 Jeff Thompson said it would be Asset Management. 45 Commissioner McKee asked if the departments are going to be evaluated on 46 performance and he expressed concern that he does not want this to bleed into personnel 47 evaluations. He asked for details on what kind of evaluation would be done and what would be 48 done to make improvements based on the evaluations.
