Chairman Jaskiewicz reports that he recently met with Collier County EOC to
get information on the EMAP program. Collier County has not been accredited
yet. As an advisory committee that provides feedback and input to the
Emergency Management program,to achieve accreditation we must take a
vote by our body. There are 64 individual requirements that the community
has to qualify for. To get compliance we need input from all stakeholders. All
of our members are part of this group of stakeholders. The overall Emergency
Management program cannot get accredited unless we all buy in and assist or
support.Accreditation is on a five year cycle,with annual reports required to be
provided to the EMAP.

being installed on the flag with completion late this spring. The Collier County
Honor Flight is planning on five missions this year. He started a new CERT class
recently.

agencies. They conducted sea air rescue exercises recently. The patrols are
down to 2 patrols a week. The pilots pay their own cost.

The Isle of Capri Cert team wants to get back in the picture. The Chairman
asked Barry why these other teams have gone away. Barry responded that the
former cert members in the fire district retired and were never replaced. Cost
is also a major factor.
