Logistics Program Overview
The Washington Military Department, Emergency Management Division (EMD) provides logistical support to Washington State, county, and municipal emergency management agencies during emergencies.
Logistics support in the state Emergency Operations Center functions as a single point of contact to assist local jurisdictions and state agencies in locating resources in an emergency. This function involves the evaluation, location, procurement, distribution, and coordination of resource support. Actions may include coordinating emergency relief supplies, facilities, equipment, telecommunications, contracting, transportation services, maintenance, and personnel required to support immediate response activities. Support is also provided for federal and state surplus items, as well as donated goods.
State logistical support to local jurisdictions is supplemental in nature. Local jurisdictions must make good faith efforts to locate needed resources throughout their local and surrounding areas, using both local government and private sector sources, prior to contacting the state and requesting resources.
