There were no significant hurricane activity on MarthaТs Vineyard this year. We did however, have a significant winter storm, which was watched over by the DCEMA in concert with the rest of the island Emergency Managers. This year, a new program was started that invited County employees to sign up for emails that relate to emergency management issues. These messages are delivered by email and contain information about impending storm conditions. This method of message delivery is also designed to be an employee coordination system for incidents such as Pandemic Plan implementation and Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) implementation. The County Emergency Management Agency partnered with the County Public Health Committee. The County Emergency Management Director sits on this board due to issues relating to Public Health Emergency Disaster Preparedness, primarily Pandemic Flu and bio-terrorism issues (smallpox, anthrax, etc). This group has recently brought about 100 health work-related people together in ten (10) groups to determine the state of the island health efforts. This was accomplished using the National Public Health Performance Assessment survey tools. A new HAM radio station was set up at the County Building. The County is currently partnering with the Vineyard Emergency Radio Response Team for HAM radio service, during emergencies. The Emergency Management Director has been appointed to be the Assistant to the County National Incident Management System NIMS Coordinator (Sheriff McCormack) in the CountyТs effort to become NIMS compliant. This is a system that the Federal Government has mandated to ensure that all public agencies, nationwide, that perform a first responder role, are able to work together in a single system that all can understand and utilize. ============================================================= Several interesting developments within the Agency occurred this year. The County Emergency Management Director was appointed as a Special Asssistant for Emergency Affairs to the Steamship Authority member from MarthaТs Vineyard. as the County assistant to Sheriff McCormack whi is the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Coordinator for the County, was elected as the Chairman of the MarthaТs Vineyard Emergency Management Association, was appointed by the Island Boards of Health agents to be the Logistics Section Chief for the first ever all-island flu clinic. This clinic also doubled as a test of the Emergency Dispensing Site mandate for the Boards of Health. This year a new program was started that invited County employees to sighn up for emails that relate to storms or other emergency management issues. These messages are delivered by email and contain information about storm conditions. It also performs as a coordination system for incidents such as Pandemic Plan and Continuity of Government implementation. ┘hiIJєЇїЎ  ╠ ═  А Б В Г Д ┬ й к л Г Д Е Ж mn╫¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤┘¤╫╪┘¤¤ 1Рh░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ i8@ё 8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH <A@Є б< Default Paragraph Font┘      hiIJєЇїЎ╠═АБВГД┬йклГ Д Е Ж m n ╫ ╪ █ Ш0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААЪ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0АА┘ ╫┘ ┘v}NX┘▄│ ╕ █ oХмоЖ Й o ~ █ 3333ї+PБ╪ █   Valued Gateway Client`C:\Documents and Settings\OPS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Document6.asdValued Gateway Client[C:\Documents and Settings\OPS\My Documents\DCEMA Ops\Annual Report\Annual Report - 2006.docValued Gateway ClientkC:\Documents and Settings\OPS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Annual Report - 2006.asdValued Gateway Client[C:\Documents and Settings\OPS\My Documents\DCEMA Ops\Annual Report\Annual Report - 2006.doc @А~~█щ~}Ф  ┘ Ё@  Unknown            GРЗz А Times New Roman5РАSymbol3&Р Зz А Arial"qИЁ╨hцD│ЖE│Ж╢┼ !Ёа┤┤ББ20  2ГqЁ  fThe Dukes County Emergency Management Agency continued to improve its services to the County this yearValued Gateway ClientValued Gateway Client■ рЕЯЄ∙OhлС+'│┘0ьРШ4@L` АМ и ┤ └╠╘▄ффgThe Dukes County Emergency Management Agency continued to improve its services to the County this yearhe Valued Gateway Clientenalualu Normal.dotwValued Gateway Clienten2luMicrosoft Word 9.0n@и[щ@дY0уa╟@╪;aчa╟╢┼ ■ ╒═╒Ь.УЧ+,∙о0` hpМФЬд м┤╝─ ╠ ?фYour Company Namen  э gThe Dukes County Emergency Management Agency continued to improve its services to the County this year Title ■   ■    ■   "#$%&'(■   ¤   +■   ■   ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Root Entry         └F└кГчa╟-А1Table            WordDocument        " SummaryInformation(    DocumentSummaryInformation8            !CompObj    jObjectPool            └кГчa╟└кГчa╟            ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ■       └FMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8Ї9▓q
