JBLM Military Installation Resiliency Review
May 2023 – The core purpose of the MIRR is to identify the risks, hazards, and vulnerabilities of concern as it relates to the ability of the military to carry out its missions on the installation that could be mitigated through investments and solutions outside the fence line in the community.
The focus of the MIRR project will involve an all-hazards approach in terms of screening threats, risks, and vulnerabilities (either natural or manmade, including from the effects of climate change and compatible use), to identify and prioritize areas of concern that should be the subject of further study and evaluation. A primary goal of the study is to identify and recommend actions or investments outside the fence line to mitigate risks of highest concern.
Resiliency Task Force: Workshop #1 – June 8th
The March 15 kick-off meeting for the Resiliency Task Force was well attended and now we are ready to hold the first workhop on 8 June at Lakewood City Hall, council chambers. The core purpose of a Military Installation Resiliency Review (MIRR) is to identify the risks, hazards, and vulnerabilities of concern as it relates to the ability of the military to carry out its missions on the installation that could be mitigated through investments and solutions outside the installation fence-line in the community.

The Resiliency Task Force allows local civilian jurisdictions to partner with JBLM as “one community” to identify man-made or natural threats across the community. The program enables a “one community” response through a collaborative Federal, state, local, and private effort to optimize the capacities and resources each can bring to the effort.
The map shown above depicts the study area which intends to approximate a 30 minute drive time to JBLM. All SSMCP jurisdictions fall within the study area, however, any South Sound local jurisdiction or organization that may be impacted by the current hazards list (above) is encouraged to be part of this review. The review will use the FEMA model of seven community lifelines described below.
