Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Cochise County and various facilities in Cochise County to serve as designated emergency locations for emergency functions in case an emergency is declared.
Background:
Cochise County Emergency Services has identified facilities throughout the county that may be useful during large-scale emergencies. These facilities can include, public and private schools, houses of worship, businesses, and municipal facilities. The facilities may be needed for resident shelters, reception centers, mass medication distribution or any number of essential emergency services. The MOU's up for approval are between Cochise County and the various facility owners. The documents have a stated 5-year term with a 30-day termination clause for either party. Similar MOUs were executed in 2009 with a 5-year term. These MOU's will replace the 2009 documents. It is anticipated that there will be approximately 50 of these MOUs to be approved over the next several months as they are returned to the County by the various facility owners.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
This is the final step in securing the emergency facilities.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the County will not have agreements in place to provide facilities for emergency sheltering or other vital operations during large-scale emergencies.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Office of Emergency Services will need two copies of each signed MOU: one for the facility and one for OES records.
