This document outlines a multi-year strategy for Kitsap County's Department of Emergency Management to improve business continuity and governance planning. The strategy includes educating partners about atypical risks through a series of Security Summit sessions, focusing on impacts of terrorism like effects on public confidence, personnel hiring, and legal liability. It takes a whole community approach due to limited funding and the need for broad education.
