  19. NWTEMC Structure The State of Washington houses nine Homeland Security Regions for the purpose of distributing HLS funding. The NWTEMC has proposed a tenth Region specifically for the Tribes. Region X HLS would become the conduit by which the Tribes in Washington State could facilitate the distribution of HLS monies.

  20. Why create a Region X • Current system must be improved to include the Tribes in Washington • Tribes have many of the same emergency management/HLS/Public Health responsibilities as the States • Much of Washington State’s Critical Infrastructure is located on or near Tribal lands • A Region X would enhance Washington State’s ability to protect the homeland by strengthening partnerships

  21. Funding Proposal The NWTEMC has put forth a request to Congress asking for a $3 million “earmark” in 2008 and a $4 million “earmark” in 2009. These funds would be used to establish the groundwork for emergency management programs throughout all of the member Tribes of the NWTEMC.
