Proposal For City of Redwood City Emergency Management Training and Consultation B. TEAM QUALIFICATIONS Aanko Technologies Inc. is a California Certified Minority and Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise providing safety and security solutions. Since the summer of 1997 the Aanko Technologies Inc. team (Aanko) of "hands-on" professionals has been involved in all aspects of prevention, response and recovery activities, including security vulnerability assessments, emergency plans development, training and exercises. Our team is specifically qualified to perform this Emergency Management Training and Consultation because we bring local and relevant experience to cost effectively complete this project under the direction of the Emergency Operations Manager. The Aanko Team comes from a broad multicultural background and is part of corporate, county and healthcare antiterrorism, safety and security advisory groups throughout the country. We have emergency management experts, professional engineers, security specialists, Intergovernmental Affairs experts, industrial hygienists and ex-military, law enforcement, and firefighters as part of our multidisciplinary team. C. PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK Overall Project Approach We propose to create an Introductory Course to orient City personnel on the new Emergency Operations Plan. The Introductory Course will focus on NIMS and SEMS principles and teach personnel at all levels how to apply the Emergency Operations Plan during disaster response. On February 28, 2003, President Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5. HSPD-5 directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable all government, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together during domestic incidents. Under the directive, all local government workers must be trained on NIMS by the beginning of FY 2007 in order to continue to receive federal emergency management funds. In addition, California State Code requires Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) training of all government workers. Task 1 Approach Task 1 would be structured into two training modules as follows: Module One: 2 hour NIMS/SEMS Orientation Workshop This module will meet the minimum requirements of the SEMS introductory course and enable employees to pass the NIMS IS-700 test. It will provide a common organizational structure using standard management principles for emergencies and crisis for the successful coordination of a response. NIMS structure is the comprehensive national approach to incident management that will be the focus of this course. The NICS component provides a standard integrated organizational structure for first and second responders, which includes crisis response teams. Aanko Technologies Inc. www.aanko.co/11 4 -.
