Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Significant provisions of the bill and any related workload or policy assumptions that have revenue or expenditure impact on the responding agency by
section number.
Creates a statewide resiliency program; adding a new section to chapter 38.52 RCW; and creating a new section.
Section 1- Outlines the need for statewide resiliency efforts and the need to address this critical need through implementing
a statewide resiliency program.
Section 2- Requires the emergency management division within the military department to develop and administer the
statewide resiliency program. Section 2 also outlines the requirements of this new office. These requirements are:
Apply methods to coordinate state and local resiliency and response activities, including:
• Develop, administer, track, and communicate progress of overall resiliency efforts
• Coordinate funding to maximize federal, state, local, and private investments
• Serve as a public and private resiliency resource center
• Enhancing interagency collaboration, education, and outreach programs
Coordinate long-term resiliency strategy for addressing the impacts of all hazards, including:
• Develop, coordinate, and communicate resiliency initiatives and projects across state agencies and local governments,
including initiatives and projects supporting climate resiliency
• Conduct policy research and recommendations related to enhancing resiliency
• Coordinate research, data collection, and analysis
• Research economic tools to address resiliency
• Recommend investments to mitigate risks from all hazards
Provide Support functions to agencies, departments, tribes, and other stakeholders to develop solutions that improve the
resiliency of the state's waters, forests, and other vital ecosystems to the impacts of climate change, and increase their
carbon pollution reduction capacity through sequestration, storage, and overall ecosystem integrity.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency with the cash receipts provisions identified by section number and when appropriate, the
detail of the revenue sources. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts impact is derived. Explanation
of how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.
II. C - Expenditures
Agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), with the provisions of the legislation that result in
the expenditures (or savings) identified by section number. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the expenditure
impact is derived. Explanation of how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.
The EMD expenditures necessary to implement this legislation are primarily comprised of staff salary and benefits for three
(3) new staff; a State Resiliency Officer (WMS3); Resiliency Program Manager (EMPS-3); and a Resiliency program
coordinator/outreach specialist (EMPS2). EMD would also require $500,000.00 to contract a company to perform research
and develop a statewide resiliency strategy, with mapping of resiliency efforts across all state agencies. Other included
costs are indirect intra-agency reimbursement (at 15%) and travel to support participation in related workgroups and
meetings as needed. A detailed description of estimated costs is provided in section III. A summary of estimated costs and
a description of the assumptions is provided below.
EMD estimated costs: $3,55324
• 23-25 Biennium: $1,529,988
• 25-27 Biennium: $1,012,668

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 2 Bill # 1728 HB
• 28-29 Biennium: $1,012,668
To estimate these costs, the following assumptions were made regarding the annual level of effort and work required by
EMD staff:
• FY24 cost estimates assume 3 FTE’s are hired at the beginning of SFY and in place for the entire year. The cost also
assumes a moderate amount of travel required for coordination with other state agencies and attendance at
resiliency-related forums and events. EMD also assumes a contractor will be able to perform the work of building a
Statewide Resiliency Strategy and the mapping of state agency resiliency efforts at a contracted cost of $500,000. This
work is to facilitate the requirements laid out in Section 2 of the legislation as described above, for a total cost of $1,023,644.
• FY25 costs reflect a work transition from its focus on establishing a new program to begin steady state operations. This
also assumes that the recommend strategy developed in SFY 24, by a contractor, would not require additional staffing to run
the program. EMD assumes that travel requirements will maintain at a steady state for outreach and event attendance. The
total annual effort is estimated to cost $506,344.
• FY26-29 costs reflect ongoing, sustained efforts required for EMD to operate the statewide resiliency office, work
plans, and agency needs/priorities. Ongoing inter-agency coordination and participation in resiliency strategy-related
workgroups and/or meetings is assumed, as well as integrating the strategy into the standard internal reviews of other
EMD-managed plans and reports (like the State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan and Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan). This ongoing work is conducted by the full staff of the new office in EMD. The total biennial effort for
26-27 and 28-29 is estimated at $1,012,668 each biennium.
