Task force presses to locate mass‑violence recovery language in state recovery framework and local plans

Recommendation 10 urged development of a mass‑violence incident preparedness plan as part of broader emergency management and recovery frameworks. Jason McLean (Washington State Emergency Management Division) and Stacy (participant) recommended that recovery and resiliency language live in the Washington Restoration Framework rather than the all‑hazard comprehensive emergency management plan, since the latter is an all‑hazards response document.

Members also recommended producing model language counties could adopt for local recovery plans or annexes. After discussion the task force approved revised language and the recommendation moved forward for staff clean‑up ahead of the October roll‑call vote.
