(April 18, 2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such as how a recipient can
determine the extent of its obligation to provide language services; selecting language
services; and elements of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For
additional assistance and information regarding language access obligations, please refer
to the DHS Recipient Guidance at https://www.dhs.gov/guidance-published-help-
department-supported-organizations-provide-meaningful-access-people-limited and
additional resources on http://www.lep.qov. .

15EMPG WORK PLAN
Emergency Management Organization: Renton, City of
~ The purpose of EMPG is to assist with the enhancement, sustainment and improvement of state, local, and tribal
emergency management programs.Activities conducted using EMPG funding should relate directly to the five elements of
emergency management: prevention; protection; response; recovery, and mitigation. Washington State does not require
a specific number of activities to receive EMPG funding. However, there are required capabilities that must be conducted
in order to remain eligible for EMPG funding, including but not limited to the ability to communicate and warn, educate the
public,train and exercise, plan, and be NIMS compliant. The Work Plan delineates the Emergency Management
Organization's emergency management program planning and priority focus for this grant cycle (to include 15EMPG grant
