Labor Mobilization Project (1980).
Abstract
The Labor Mobilization Project, after research and successful table-top exercises in the test counties of King and Snohomish in Washington State, demonstrates that: Labor, Associated General Contractors, the National Defense Transportation Association, and United Way have the skills and resources which can be tapped to assist government in emergencies. An effective ongoing communications system between the groups and government is a prerequisite. For this, these groups should be involved in the planning and decision-making process for emergencies. The Labor Mobilization Plan, to involve the above groups, consists of an assessment team and a call-out mechanism. The assessment team is a pre-assigned and trained team of federal, state, local government, labor, contractors, and community services representatives. The team's joint and professional nature assures quick, reliable, and accurate assessments of manpower and equipment needs and a communication link to the groups. Resources needed are tapped through call-out lists of key contact names from the above groups. (Author)
