EMERGENCY PLANNING/DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Emergency Planning: Public Safety Answering Points Disaster preparedness and recovery planning are designed to reduce the disruption of essential services when an emergency occurs. Emergency communications planning is a critical component of any disaster plan. Disaster plans should be flexible enough to be adapted to particular crises. The following guidelines are intended to help Public Safety Answering Points ensure their continuity of opera- tions and manage the security and operability of their communications systems and networks during emergen- cies. You may voluntarily choose to use these guidelines to develop further, enhance and expand their current dis- tress and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery plans to build in a more comprehensive strategic approach to their overall emergency communications plans. In formulating your plans, the goal is to develop and implement strategies that ensure the continued operation of facilities before, during, and after an incident. Hence, the main steps are sort by preparation, sort by the response, and sort by recovery. www.fcc.gov RESOLUTION #465-19 A Resolution that Authorizes Chairman to Sign the Client Coverage Acknowledgment and Compensation Disclosure Statement from Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. on behalf of the Colorado River Indian Tribes and the Blue Water Resort and Casino.

TAKING CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES Tribal Council purchases plan to help disabled employees TRIBAL COUNCIL CHAMBERS--- The C.R.I.T. Tribal Council took action on December 6, 2019, to purchase a short-term dis- ability plan to provide income to employees who become disabled and have inadequate leave to cover the loss of wages for 90 days. Therefore, making the current Shared Leave Policy no longer needed as employees will be able to apply for short-term disability when they are disabled and unable to work. This action took effect immediately except for those employees who are deemed ineligible due to being on leave during the implementation of the short- term disability plan. An employer like the Colorado River Indian Tribes must know how to accommodate disabled employees ade- quately; according to a 2002 study by the American Council of Life Insurers, there is a one in three likelihood of a worker between the ages of 35 and 65 sufferings a severe disability. If the employer isn't prepared to accom- modate a disabled employee in their business, they might not have the tools in place necessary to welcome and assist the disabled employee when such an illness occurs. The Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) single-handedly holds the top three positions as the largest employer in La Paz County, which also is home to the tribes' headquar- ters. Their entities and departments in the area employ nearly 800 people, a considerable chunk of the local econ- omy. The Colorado River Indian Tribes employees and tribal members are the primary customers of approxi- mately 40 percent of local business. Vendors, professional service contractors, and businesses in the region from Lake Havasu, Yuma and Phoenix are positively impacted economically.
