Mobilizing Volunteer Safety amd ~aciliTy Assessment evaluators for Structure ConditionEvaluation Surge

This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the American Institute of ArchitectsWashington Council (AIA-Washington), the Structural Engineers Association of Washington(SEAW), and the Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO), hereinafter referred tojointly as WAsafe, and the Washinb on State Military Department —Emergency ManagementDivision (EMD) identifies the expectations and procedures of WAsafe and EMD for mobilizingWAsafe volunteers as Emergency Workers through the Emergency Support Function 3 (ESF-3) atthe State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) under direction of the SEOC Operations SectionChief.

Washington Safety Assessment and Facilities Evaluators (WAsafe), is a coalition formed by AIA-Washington, SEAW, and WABO for the purpose of training and organizing a group of volunteersafety assessment and facilities evaluators. For the purposes of this MOU, these volunteerevaluators are referred to as "WAsafe volunteers."

Both WAsafe and EMD view local jurisdictions' building permitting agencies as criticalorganizations for communities to effectively respond to and recover quickly from emergencies anddisasters. Support of local building perinitting organizations in disasters includes sufficient staffingto provide rapid structural condition evaluations for the community.

The specific issue addressed in this MOU is the mobilization of WAsafe volunteers as emergencyworkers to support a structure condition evaluation surge effort in response to a catastrophicincident. Over the past years WAsafe has worked with EMD to understand application of theEmergency Worker Program as authorized in RCW 38.52, the Emergency Management Act, andestablished under the WashinD on Administrative Code (WAC) 118-04.-100. WAsafe's functionis to provide qualified emergency workers that can be mobilized to provide assistance duringemergencies/disasters in Washington State.

The Emergency Worker Program allows for the SEOC to register and mobilize WAsafe volunteersas emergency workers when needed during large scale disasters. WAsafe volunteers are currentlyavailable from the following two sources in Washington State if it becomes necessary for them tobe mobilized as emergency workers in response to a catastrophic incident:

(1) WAsafe volunteers who are currently registered as emergency workers withlocal jurisdictions outside the impacted area; and

(2) Other WAsafe volunteers not currently registered as emergency workers whocan be identified and registered under the authority of The Adjutant General andthe State EMD Director by the SEOC through ESF-3, and deployed where requiredthrough local emergency management agencies.

Both categories of WAsafe volunteers described above can currently be used to augment staffingof local jurisdictions' building permitting agencies impacted by a catastrophic incident. Further,in the extreme event of a disaster beyond local control, the Governor may assume direct operationalcontrol of local emergency management functions under RCW 38.52.050(1), in which casevolunteer structure condition evaluators, including WAsafe volunteers, may be deployed underdirect state control by the SEOC through the SEOC ESF-3.

EMD and WAsafe agree that WAsafe/ESF-3 representatives serving in the SEOC duringemergencies can, under direction of the SEOC Operations Section Chief, mobilize and deployWAsafe volunteers registered as emergency workers under a valid mission number issued by EMDto support a structure condition evaluation surge through local emergency management agenciesif required by the incident.

Additionally, WAsafe will continue to maintain a set of volunteer emergency responsecoordinators in support of providing communities with WAsafe volunteers, and will continue toprovide training for local building permitting agencies and WAsafe volunteers. Finally, WAsafewill maintain a database of qualified WAsafe volunteers through the Washington State EmergencyRegistry of Volunteers in cooperation with, and with the assistance of, the Washington StateDepartment of Health.

EMD's point of contact is the Response Section Manger.
