SUBJECT:

Integrated Emergency Management Course (IEMC): Sea-Tac Airport

BACKGROUND:
As part of the Airport's and Port's emergency preparedness program to ensure that the Airport is
able to respond to, and recover quickly from, a major natural disaster, a group of Port employees
(as well as Commissioner Tarleton) and key partner-agency stakeholders attended a week-long
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-hosted training exercise in Maryland April 18
- 22. The goal of this exercise was to test and assess our existing plans and policies in a
challenging but controlled environment in order to identify gaps to be addressed.
On May 10, 2011, staff will brief the Commission on the FEMA IEMC and provide an
opportunity for questions and discussion.
