SCDEM Resources Clause Samples

The SCDEM Resources clause defines the allocation and use of resources provided by the Southland Civil Defence Emergency Management (SCDEM) group. It typically outlines what resources—such as personnel, equipment, or facilities—are available for emergency management activities and under what conditions they may be accessed or deployed. This clause ensures that all parties understand the scope and limitations of resource support, facilitating effective coordination and response during emergencies.
SCDEM Resources. SCDEM maintains a number of resources that, when practicable, will be made available to Participating Jurisdictions. Requests for their deployment shall be made to the SCDEM Duty Officer or, when activated, the Snohomish County EOC. Examples of some key resources include: a. Command vehicle, commonly referred to as a “ComVan.” A command vehicle provides a motorized, self-contained, climate-controlled capability to augment incident management. SCDEM provides operator training but does not typically provide an operator. Requests for an operator will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but it is the primary responsibility of the requesting Jurisdiction to identify, maintain, and provide qualified operators. b. Communications vehicle, commonly referred to as “DEM 10.” The communications vehicle provides a motorized, self-contained, climate-controlled capability to augment communications. c. Mobile IT Response Units (MITRUs). MITRUs are mobile communications trailers, equipped with an array of supplies and equipment to enable emergency communications, including internet, local network functionality1, radio communications, and equipment to support basic operations. d. Mobile Emergency Operations Center (MEOC). The MEOC is a trailer equipped with supplies like tables, chairs, light sets, pop-up tents, etc. that can support an alternate EOC capability. e. Alert and Warning. SCDEM will maintain a system that provides alert and warning to county residents. Access to this system will be through Sno911, the SCDEM Duty Officer or, when activated, the Snohomish County EOC. 1 A Local Network is defined as a group of two or more connected computers that can share resources like a printer, an internet connection, an application, etc. The County offers additional services that the Participating Jurisdiction may choose from in addition to the basic emergency management services described in Schedule A. If, during the course of this Agreement, a Participating Jurisdiction desires additional service(s)s as described below, the City shall notify SCDEM in writing as early as practicable prior to the delivery of the desired additional service(s). The cost and timing of the delivery of any Additional Service(s) shall be agreed upon by the Administrators of this Agreement. One half of the cost of additional service(s) shall be added to the quarterly invoice after the Participating Jurisdiction notifies SCDEM and the remaining half shall be added to the quarterly invoice that fol...
SCDEM Resources. SCDEM maintains a number of resources that, when practicable, will be made available to Participating Jurisdictions. Requests for their deployment shall be made as early as possible to the SCDEM Duty Officer or, when activated, the Snohomish County ECC. When requesting a ComVan, the Participating Jurisdiction bears the primary responsibility for providing a qualified driver and should not expect SCDEM to provide an operator.
