Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Costs

  • Planning, training, and exercises.
  • Maintenance of resource inventories.
  • Overhead support - (Two person A-Team).
  • One half full time equivalent EMD staff member.

There is sufficient added work associated with joining EMAC that it would require an added employee, at least in the short term.

We anticipate that the individual would write plans and conduct training related to EMAC activation and participation.

The other significant duty of the incumbent would be to bring the other existing compacts up to EMAC standards. This will require extensive negotiation and coordination of efforts.

The end result will be a truly robust mutual support capability for the states and provinces of the Pacific Northwest Region.

A fiscal note of one two-year FTE would be attached to any bill submitted to the legislature to offset the added workload.
