[0:05] Did you sign it? No. Okay.

[0:10] It's on the table over there. It's very, very, very easy. We just

[1:26] need one more voting member and

[1:38] we'll have our friends online. Can you give me a

[1:45] thumbs up if you could hear us fine over here.

[1:54] All right.

[1:54] I can hear you.

[1:55] I don't know if it thumbs up.

[1:58] All right.

[1:59] Well, we need one more coding member.

[2:03] So we'll give it another minute or two here.

[2:49] I sent it to Nicole.

[2:51] She messaged me whether it was me saying something

[2:54] mixed up and thinking wrong.

[2:56] This last agenda, but we'll be off next week.

[3:00] Thank you for getting it done.

[3:44] Very festive ringtone, Scott.

[3:46] Thank you.

[3:46] a big deal.

[3:47] I'm not sure.

[3:47] I think you're more buried around here.

[3:48] I think it was a good mood.

[3:59] Pretty toast.

[4:01] I think it worked very well.

[4:07] I'll follow the memories you lost too.

[4:12] It's

[4:35] been a lot.

[4:37] Probably on that.

[4:58] Well, they were here all day doing training.

[5:02] He could.

[5:03] He's back in the office.

[5:06] Is he going to sworn in?

[5:07] I wonder.

[5:09] Well, thank you.

[5:10] I think I got something to call about that.

[6:01] Now almost everybody accepted.

[6:02] So he's

[6:41] a choice way teams and

[7:02] Ross just takes the saying is a little bit late, but he's on his way.

[7:06] So if everybody's okay for a minute, wait for Andy to join us too.

[7:18] Well, you could start and just go to a non-voting item.

[7:22] First couple of items are non-voting, so.

[7:26] It happened to me yesterday that we didn't have an accord and we just started with non-voting items.

[8:43] I'll

[8:52] start with a piece of public comment, I want to thank everybody for their help with

[8:56] all the support for the couple of fires that threaten our community lately and second item

[9:08] as I'd like to introduce Angie and Jopoulos, the new superintendent for the school district

[9:14] And Angie, would you like to take a minute and just introduce yourself, so the local

[9:21] emergency planning committee can get to know you?

[9:26] Hi.

[9:28] No, Angie, I'm Toulopolis, I'm the new superintendent for White Penn County School District, and

[9:32] it's great to be here and be able to learn what's going on in our community.

[9:39] Thank you.

[9:42] The school districts, especially Terrell and your transportation crew have been very helpful

[9:47] of helping us as we plan for emergencies and, you know, trying to get help with transportation

[9:56] for the fires lately.

[9:59] Yes, third, great team.

[10:03] Anyway, we can help.

[10:05] Thank you.

[10:07] Is there any other public comment here?

[10:16] None.

[10:17] We'll go on to item three.

[10:20] do we have any updates from our state and federal partners? I'm just going to go

[10:24] according to my screen here. Doug, is there anything from state public health?

[10:35] Good afternoon, Matthias and everybody in the room. First off, I just want to thank

[10:39] everybody for inviting me to your Lepsy meeting. I do just have a couple things.

[10:47] We've been part of the SF-8 for a couple of the fires. First, the Hawke fire

[10:53] and Washoe County. It's a brief update. It's at 93% containment, chewed up 15,000 acres.

[11:05] All the evacuations have been, sounds like it's been lifted.

[11:11] The state EOC is closely monitoring

[11:15] the hawksley fire outside of wells. That one's at 15% attainment, tuned up 11,000 acres.

[11:28] So we're closely watching that. We're virtually activated right now, all the ESFFs,

[11:45] or I'm

[11:45] We've just contained monitoring, monitoring cyclos, sprovesis, ebolas, work on plans and

[11:56] filling our open positions here in our program.

[12:00] So other now, again, thank you for inviting me to the lepsy and it's good seeing everybody.

[12:05] All right.

[12:07] Thanks, Doug.

[12:09] Thanks.

[12:10] Does community health have anything to share?

[12:15] No.

[12:16] All right.

[12:18] Thank you.

[12:19] And I'm not seeing anybody from state OEM.

[12:23] They're probably busy helping create a lot right now.

[12:28] So we'll go on to item four,

[12:31] review of minutes from the May 14th meeting.

[12:35] Those that have the paper copies, it should be attached.

[12:39] I also sent it digitally in the agenda.

[12:44] That's how you'd like to take a look.

[12:51] We can most probably approve motion from the sheriff.

[12:56] There's a second.

[12:57] I'll second that.

[12:58] All right.

[13:03] All in favor of accepting the minutes from our previous meeting.

[13:06] Say aye.

[13:07] There any opposed?

[13:11] All right.

[13:11] hearing none we'll go on to item five discussion for possible information just a review of the grants that we were awarded and probably will be applying for again next year.

[13:32] So, Operation Planning Training Equipment, and United We Stand are both due in the spring,

[13:40] but we do need to have our annual review, and we'll set that up for our next meeting in the fall.

[13:51] And then Emergency Prepared Working Group is a multi-year intended for helping us deal with

[14:02] Well, level radioactive waste, that one that we just applied for that by just finished

[14:10] that earlier.

[14:11] It's a three year application this year for this time,

[14:17] and then annually we also have

[14:19] the emergency performance grant.

[14:24] I use the request of the last one to be for a new evacuation study.

[14:31] And when we get, so everybody knows, Wash Oak County every year has been applying for a couple of counties in their EMPG to help fund a system called perimeter, which is an online mapping software, but we could use it for anything.

[14:57] So if we have a, you know, another one.

[15:00] File fire, we could have our own working layers. We could have a public layer that maybe said, you know, how does like our evacuation zones. And we can share that directly through, you know, Facebook and the county website, etc. But we could also use it for things like parades or events like that. So, Sheriff's Office, you know, if you're blocking off roads for the parade, you can assign your people ahead of time.

[15:29] and all that, and just have that in a private working layer.

[15:33] And then we could have a public layer saying,

[15:35] hey, these are where all the road closures are for the brain.

[15:38] For example, but they've been working their way across the state.

[15:42] So we're next, and hopefully we'll be getting that implemented.

[15:46] Well, at least I'll be getting trained on it next month or so.

[15:51] And then we compare that, like if we get this evacuation study

[15:55] don't we could have set zones based on, you know, topography or density or however we

[16:02] decided to set it up. And we could have a perimeter layer of evacuation zones that we could

[16:10] share to the public if another event does happen threatening. Whether it's fire or with blood or what

[16:18] on. Yes.

[16:22] So I don't know how much it costs. They've been, again, like they started in

[16:32] washroom county and then they started with their surrounding counties, but they found

[16:36] to begin as we've seen with wildfire. Sometimes it doesn't care, you know, it doesn't care

[16:41] about the lines we've drawn on a map and jurisdiction. So they were starting to have to share it

[16:48] with favorite counties as they were doing things like wildfire and

[16:52] they just kept every year buying it for the next couple of

[16:56] counties and do everybody yet. So once we're in pretty much the

[17:00] whole state we'll be sharing this system and you know make it easy

[17:05] for let's say we have something that straddles us in the Eureka

[17:11] county line you'll be working literally off the same

[17:28] I believe we should be ready to go, let's get on that here now, but I've been a little

[17:37] distracted with a couple of things, you know, but let me also, yeah, it's fine, yeah, it's not

[17:44] okay.

[17:50] Item six,

[17:53] sharing some upcoming trainings, drills meetings,

[17:59] state emergency management is

[18:02] they host a FEMA basic academy every year, if people are interested in that, it's a 40-hour course

[18:11] that takes, I think, three or four sessions that are week-long and this year is going

[18:20] or next year is going to be in Elco. They do it every spring. So a couple of years ago,

[18:26] they did Carson this year, it was done in Vegas, coming year they're going to do in Elco.

[18:30] So if anybody's interested, it'll be closer than it has been in the past.

[18:37] And that's why the schedule says tentative.

[18:40] They have at least the final dates on that.

[18:44] The Regional Thyra or Regional Integrity of Preparedness Symposium,

[18:50] October 6th and 7th.

[18:53] Anybody wants the invitation of that?

[18:56] Just message me and I'll share that.

[18:58] They're also doing a pre-training on the 5th.

[19:03] And this basically is us sitting down and rating what we think our ability to respond

[19:15] to certain things at certain levels is, and then that helps us set goals for using

[19:22] things like future grants in order to improve those numbers for us.

[19:30] There's an online mass fatality planning and response for rural communities.

[19:35] I included the link September, it's two half days, so it's eight hours total.

[19:41] I thought that many of our people involved in floods, you might be interested in being able

[19:47] to participate in that and I've been talking to our new staff like Steve as they've been coming

[19:56] on so we can start training with our ICS and getting everybody trained in those basic

[20:04] courses so that we can start to come together and have EOC trainings together and all be

[20:11] on the same language. So there's a link included in the agenda. If you haven't had those

[20:18] courses, please consider taking them so we can all kind of be communicating together.

[20:24] Does anybody else have any upcoming trainings or drills that they'll they'll be hosting that they think that perhaps you might benefit from?

[20:44] So did you go over this iron and alcohol? Yes. That could be watched online.

[20:55] I'll share that, and you don't have to go to Elco, but it's great, it's great to be

[21:02] overview, but the international estate has with region three and the different counties

[21:10] in that area that they have interact with, so it's really good training, so you can see

[21:16] to be on their all day long. It's two and a half days, but you can just get on and

[21:22] be with when you get time. It's really interesting, especially for the first time.

[21:29] Yeah. And sometimes we surprise the state because when they're planning, for example, a mass

[21:39] casualty exercise for Las Vegas, they're thinking what happens if something happens in a

[21:45] supporting stadium more on the street and you know 60,000 people are affected and

[21:52] so they they said hey there's this event in 10,000 people are affected and

[21:57] black left here what that was one example but we're all looking around like we

[22:02] don't have 10,000 people in the whole county oh yeah sorry guys are smaller

[22:09] up here. Well,

[22:16] that brings us to item 7, uh, tentative, nice, lepsy date October, I picked

[22:26] October 29th, but if that doesn't work, we can, it's open for discussion.

[22:35] It should

[22:36] be a Thursday,

[22:40] but I understand if people are planning anything for Nevada day or, or

[22:45] not be

[22:48] or may not works. We'll be here. We'll share some. She's trying to, I guess,

[22:55] so that's what it's all for Todd. That's why. Should we suggest an alternate end date?

[23:05] Before.

[23:23] 22nd.

[23:26] Does the 22nd work for everybody? That 2 p.m. again?

[23:44] Is there a

[23:45] any motion? I'll make any motion. All right. Good.

[23:51] I'm looking to. From Ross. I'll second that one.

[23:56] Everybody in favor of the 22nd to for our next meeting. Say aye.

[24:04] Any opposed?

[24:07] Very none.

[24:10] Is there the closing public comment?

[24:19] Question for Shen. She's on there.

[24:27] have you guys heard anything on upcoming flu hot?

[24:32] We will be having one but we don't like to plan it until we actually have vaccine in hand.

[24:38] So we don't end up having to reschedule it.

[24:41] So it will, as soon as we get our actual vaccine here,

[24:45] we will start sending out the notices to everyone to get it all all squared away.

[24:51] Thank you.

[24:52] Thank you.

[24:56] I have a couple.

[24:57] All right.

[24:58] Okay.

[24:59] So we have a new county department.

[25:04] How's he been?

[25:05] He needs to get on.

[25:07] As he put his application,

[25:09] I've been approved everything already.

[25:11] He's been approved by the commission.

[25:15] And swarming.

[25:17] Steve, you sworing with Nicole, right?

[25:26] I'm new.

[25:29] Steve, we can't hear you.

[25:30] Yeah,

[25:34] look, I can't hear you.

[25:42] Just give us the thumbs up if you've sworn in your oath with Nicole.

[25:50] Thank you.

[25:51] That's good.

[25:52] So, can we get in the roster?

[25:54] I still have Michael

[25:58] Johnson,

[26:03] Done that thing or we done anything that direct you.

[26:06] I will prepare a new roster for our next meeting.

[26:08] or head of our next meeting is in that out, who's, who's all of our lips meeting.

[26:13] Um, Bob gave me a phone call saying he couldn't continue, but Nicole said I needed a letter

[26:22] from him and when I've tried to reach back out for him to him to get a letter, I haven't

[26:28] heard back from him.

[26:29] But she's been every time seeing that I think, so I'll follow with Nicole if we can do, do

[26:37] something else and it was able to back and accept it. I believe she was.

[26:47] Yeah.

[26:47] If you asked Pam was on her boat. She's still on.

[26:51] I

[27:01] didn't see it on that. I missed it.

[27:04] Our local fires and our interaction.

[27:07] It would be nice to know kind of like a little after action.

[27:14] important, I would like to see how the lips he was involved and actually didn't. We actually

[27:22] did one. Yeah. I didn't think to you. That's fine. That's fine. I just like to see what

[27:36] what we did, you know, using that

[27:37] to actually, of course,

[27:39] what you do right, what could

[27:40] you have that better?

[27:42] You know,
