BACKGROUND: 
Prepared Response's Crisis Management System Rapid Responder is a web-based interactive
crisis management tool designed to collect, organize, and securely disseminate critical
information needed in an emergency. This information includes mapping, floor plans and other
pertinent information that is critical to first responders who are responding to events such as a
fire, terrorist incident or active shooter situation. The system has provided critical informati on to
officers and firefighters at several major events in Washington State as it is accessible to all
responding agencies on mobile data terminals through a password from the host agency. 
The WASPC is the fiscal agent for the state-wide system that began by mapping schools. The
same system has also been used to map the State Capitol Building, the Federal Building and
other critical infrastructure. Currently SeaTac Airport, Piers 66 and 69, and the World Trade
Center are in the system, funded by a federal grant for infrastructure mapping. 
To participate in the pricing negotiated by WASPC, and in order to keep our system consistent 
With the rest of the State, the Commission must authorize an Interlocal Agreement with
WASPC. 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: 
The funding for this IA was not included in the 2010 plan of finance. Although federal grant
funds are no longer available, the POSPD proposes to continue to add locations that will enhance
our ability to respond to Port properties in the event of an emergency or disaster. The current
request is for the SCCT at Pier 90/91 and the Sound Transit Light Rail Station at SeaTac Airport,
to be funded out of currently available drug seizure monies. As additional narcotics seizure
money becomes available, the agreement would be amended up to the $300,000 amount to map
additional Port facilities'.
