On behalf o f the City o f Eng lewooj, I re spec tfully re quest considerat ion to rece i ve a comm unity-specicc

Management In stit ute (EMI).
We und erstand th at approval fo r an IEM C will requ ire a majo r co mmitmen t from our co mmunity and we
are prepar ed to mee t that co mmitm ent. As such , I belie ve o"Jr community ls an ideal ca nd idate ar1d
wou ld benefit significantly from participat ion in this cou rse to exercise our eme rg~ncy op erat ions center
(EO C) SOPs and our emergency operations plans .
Heavy rail tracks run through the city use d by abo u: 44 freight train s per day . Lieht ra il track para ll els the
heavy rai l t h r m,gh th e city, carryi ng a large number o f passengers daily. We are active re gionally i n both
day to day acti vities, emergency re sponse activi tie s and disaster pla nning, mit ig at ion and recovery
activities, as de tai led in ou r pack et.
We reques t an l:MC p r ocram that wi ll help to prepare us for all ha zar ds planning , mitigation, re sp onse
and recovery, as we l l as the spec1f,c haza rds detailed in our Jacket. The attache d docu m ents provide
