'It <br /> ,- EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: May 7, 2012 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmrmbers <br /> I <br /> i <br /> FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> SUBJECT: Emergency Management Training <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> Lance Ross and Greg Hayes from Emergency Preparedness Resource Group LLC will be <br /> at this work session to lead an emergency preparedness training class for the City <br /> Council. In late 2010 the City Council hired EP Resource Group and designated them as <br /> the City Emergency Management Director. <br /> Lance and Greg have met with City staff individually and as a group to review the roles <br /> and responsibilities for key staff members when responding to an emergency. These <br /> meetings have resulted in the development of updated "checklists" (assignments) for each <br /> staff member. Recently, Lance and Greg conducted a tabletop exercise at a staff meeting <br /> where the emergency was a tornado hitting sections of Arden Hills. As a result of this <br /> exercise, we have a better understanding of what staff needs to be doing when responding <br /> to an emergency and what additional training is needed. <br /> Attached is an email from Greg that addresses the question of FEMA disaster assistance <br /> funds. In spite of it not being required, this training class for the Council will meet the <br /> requirements of the G-402 Incident Command System Overview for Executives/Senior <br /> Officials. The training work session should take about 90 minutes. <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> P.\Admin\Council\Agendas&Packet Information\2012\04-16-12 Wk Sess\Agenda <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
