Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 27P-6.0023 - County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans
(1) Each county emergency management agency
established pursuant to the authority contained in Section
252.38(2),
F.S., shall develop and submit to the governing body of the jurisdiction for
adoption a County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan in compliance with
the requirements, format and standards contained in this rule
chapter.
(2) County Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plans will be coordinated and consistent with the
provisions of the State Plan. The county emergency management plan will include
an evacuation component, a shelter component (risk and host events), and a
post-disaster and recovery component and will consist of provisions addressing
aspects of preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. The county plan
will assign lead and support responsibilities for county agencies and personnel
that coordinate with the emergency support functions outlined in the State
Plan.
(3) The County Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan shall be specific and shall address responses and
actions in the event of an emergency. It shall clearly identify those positions
or agencies responsible for specific functions under given circumstances.
Responsibilities must be assigned by position title or agency name, and
specific duties for each position or agency must be listed. Checklists and
other readily accessible and easy-to-use guidelines are encouraged. Where
appropriate, the county plan shall contain maps, diagrams and other visual
aids. Copies of the forms the local government will use shall be available for
review.
(4) The County
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan shall be divided into a minimum of two
components: the Basic Plan and the Capability Assessment. The Basic Plan shall
be narrative in form and generally describe responsibilities within the
emergency management framework. It shall include but not be limited to two
annexes addressing the recovery and mitigation functions of the county
emergency management program. The Basic Plan and the Recovery and Mitigation
Annexes shall include organizational charts, maps and checklists. The
Capability Assessment shall demonstrate competencies and present information
outlined in the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, standard
operating procedures and other supporting documents that are involved in the
emergency management program, i.e., emergency response, recovery and mitigation
activities.
(5) The County
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan shall cover county agencies and
resources and should cover applicable municipal agencies and resources. County
plans shall interface with plans of contiguous jurisdictions, regional,
municipalities and the state comprehensive emergency management
plans.
(6) The County Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan or supporting operating procedures referred to in the
plan shall provide a detailed description of the process to be followed at the
local level whenever an emergency or disaster occurs as a result of the many
consequences generated by natural, technological or manmade causes. Such
emergencies include, but are not limited to: tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding,
freezes, extreme temperatures, disease outbreaks, wildfires, terrorism,
drought, hazardous materials releases or spills and civil disturbances. The
plan shall identify and describe pre-emergency warning systems, evacuation and
sheltering plans, hazard mitigation and other anticipatory actions as well as
post-event response and recovery actions.
(7) The Division hereby adopts and
incorporates by reference "Local Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
Compliance Criteria" and the "Emergency Management Capabilities Assessment
Checklist" (Form Numbers CEMP-001 and CEMP-002, 2012 Edition) as part of this
chapter. County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans and County Emergency
Management Programs shall comply with these criteria. These criteria are
available from the Division and may be obtained by writing the Division at 2555
Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32399 or online at
www.floridadisaster.org. These
criteria shall be used in the development and review of County Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plans and Programs. Counties shall complete the compliance
criteria prior to the Division's review of their Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan and have them available to the Division 60 days after receiving
notification of the Division's intent to review. Counties shall demonstrate
satisfaction of the required plan criteria by noting the page and section in
their plan, or supporting documents, where each criterion is satisfied.
Counties shall provide the documentation needed to satisfy the requirements of
the Capabilities Assessment.
(8)
Counties are encouraged to follow the format of the State Plan in development
of the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. County emergency
management agencies are not required to duplicate the suggested format, but
should be able to demonstrate the ability to communicate with those emergency
support functions and state agencies that support the State
Plan.
