RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Department, to host its annual Emergency Management Team (EMT) training in an amount not to exceed $7,680 for emergency preparedness training, pursuant to Administrative Bulletin No. 114.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this request would result in approximate training expenditures of $7,680, which would be funded 67% from the Emergency Preparedness Grant fund and 33% from the department's County General Fund allocation.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) will host its annual EMT training in Pleasant Hill on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The EMT is comprised of approximately 250 staff including Division Directors and others responsible for directing and implementing CCHS’ response to disasters such as earthquakes, infectious disease outbreaks, terrorism or other incidents.

Expenditures for this year’s training include: $2,180 for the facility, $3,000 for guest speakers and $2,500 for refreshments. This training will also include a panel presentation of representatives from other California health jurisdictions who have recently responded to large scale incidents.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department will not have the appropriate approval for expenditures related to a County sponsored special event pursuant to Administrative Bulletin No. 114 (County and Non-County Sponsored Events and Activities).
