Agenda 12/13/2016 Item #16E5
16.E.5 12/13/2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to adopt by Resolution the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for Collier County and its Municipalities,as specified in Florida Administrative Code. OBJECTIVE: To adopt, by Resolution, the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan(CEMP) for Collier County. CONSIDERATIONS: Chapter 252, Florida Statutes requires this plan. Although it is updated locally each year, the Florida Division of Emergency Management("State") reviews and approves it every four years. The State has approved the CEMP, finding it in compliance with Rule Chapter 27P-6, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). Staff from all of the Collier County Divisions, Everglades City, the City of Marco Island, the City of Naples, the Sheriff's Office, the Schools, and the Fire Districts had opportunities to participate in the update. Additionally, the draft plan has been posted on the Emergency Management website since January 2016 along with the current one, for comment. Having an approved CEMP enables all participating jurisdictions to have a standard framework from which to respond to disaster situations that complements the State's CEMP. The State approved CEMP represents our planning and collaboration during the past 12 months. In addition to obtaining approval from the three municipalities, we have sought input from private non-profit organizations who also partner with the emergency response organizations during disasters. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this Executive Summary. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with this Executive Summary. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. Rule 27P-6.006 (11), Florida Administrative Code, provides that "After a determination that a County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is in compliance . . . the approved plan must be adopted by resolution of the governing body of the jurisdiction within 90 days of receiving notification of compliance from the Division before it becomes the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for such local government." The County received this determination by letter dated November 14, 2016. Accordingly, this matter is both legally sufficient and ready for action by the Board. A majority vote is required for adoption. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the attached Resolution adopting the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for Collier County.

The plan is designed to provide a framework through which Collier County may prevent or mitigate the impacts of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural, manmade, and technological hazards that could adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of residents and visitors to the County. Additionally, this plan establishes the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the standard for tasked agencies to use in responding to emergency events. The Collier County plan was produced by the team efforts of the entire Collier County Emergency Management Division’s staff, the other agencies who comprise the emergency support functions (ESFs), and personnel involved in Preparedness, Response, Recovery and Mitigation activities. The CEMP was approved by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and complies with Homeland Security Presidential Directives. Included in the plan are summaries of relevant data (e.g., demographics, geography, economic), emergency and non-emergency organization structures, roles and responsibilities for county government and private sector agencies/businesses, financial management guidance, and supporting documentation (e.g., references, mutual aid, memoranda of understanding, standard operating procedures/guidelines.) This information is included under seven sections: Introduction; Situation; Concept of Operations; Responsibilities; Financial Management; Training, Exercise and Public Awareness and Education; and References and Authorities. Supporting detail is included in the Appendices. The plan is comprised of the above seven sections, plus nine annexes: Hazardous Weather Response, Terrorism Incident Response (Consequence Management), Wildfire Operations Response, Hurricane Response, Flood Warning Program. Area Command, Pandemic Response and Radiological Emergency Response. The annexes provide general guidance for actions and taskings. Tasked agencies in the CEMP should develop standard operating guidelines (SOGs) that will ensure capability to carry out their respective missions. viii ICS - Incident Command System LE- Law Enforcement MARS - Military Affiliate Radio System MOU - Memorandum of Understanding NAD- North American Datum NIMS - National Incident Management System NETC- National Emergency Training Center NFIP - National Flood Insurance Program NOAA - National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration NWSFO - National Weather Service Forecast Office OMB - Office of Management and Budget PA - Public Assistance PIO - Public Information Office PL - Public Law PRI - Primary PSA- Public Safety Announcement PSD- Collier County Public Services Department PSN - People with Special Needs PUD- Collier County Public Utilities Department PW- Project Worksheet RACES - Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service REP - Radiological Emergency Preparedness RDSTF - Regional Domestic Security Task Force RMD- Collier County Risk Management Division RRT - Rapid Response Team SEOC - State Emergency Operations Center SERT- State Emergency Response Team SFWMD- South Florida Water Management District SITREP - Situation Report SLOSH - Sea, Lake, Overland Surge from Hurricanes SMART - Strategic Metropolitan Assistance and Recovery Teams SOG- Standard Operating Guide SOP - Standard Operating Procedure SR - State Road TDS - Time Delineating Schedule TH - Temporary Housing TTY - Teletype USNG - United States National Grid VOAD - Voluntary Organizations Assisting in Disaster Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 1 The COLLIER COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN (CEMP) 2016 I. INTRODUCTION The Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) addresses most of the threats to which the County and its population may be exposed. At the present time, of the 23 hazards analyzed using a broad range of sources, ten hazards were identified due to their “high” to “very high” risk to persons, public and private property, and structures within Collier County’s jurisdiction. This plan is an outline of emergency situations and agency responsibilities. Each agency that is identified will be given a broad overview of their responsibilities. Tasked agencies should develop Standard Operating Guides (SOGs) and/or checklists to aid them in accomplishing their tasking. A. Purpose 1. The CEMP establishes the framework through which Collier County may prevent or mitigate the impacts of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from most natural, manmade, and technological hazards that could adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of residents and visitors to this County. Appendices to the Basic Plan describe the general emergency support functions which are deemed the essential program functions that enable an agency, department, organization or individual to carry out emergency response actions, provide vital services, protect the safety and well-being of the citizens of Collier County, and maintain the economic base of the County. The Annexes address unique hazards or operations whereby we were either better able to effectively and efficiently deliberately plan for the hazard event with unique requirements that deviate from the Basic Plan. (NOTE: Although some hazards addressed in the Annexes are not listed as the core hazards, the operation, if the hazard presented itself was felt to be unique enough to lay out the differences in the management structure to address the minor hazard to avoid unnecessary confusion.) 2. Through this CEMP, provisions are made for the needed flexibility of direction, coordination, and methods of operations to enable County, City, and non- governmental agencies to accomplish the objectives of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This plan provides the framework for rendering support to other counties, state and federal government in their emergency preparedness efforts. 3. This CEMP, by adoption, establishes the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the standard for all operations encompassed by the plan within Collier County. The NIMS process encompasses much more than the Incident Command System (ICS), although ICS is a critical component of the NIMS. It also provides a common foundation for training, communicating and sharing information with other responders and with the public, ordering resources to assist with a response effort, and for integrating new technologies and standards to support incident management. For the first time, all of the nation's emergency responders will use a common language, Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 2 and a common set of procedures when working individually and together to keep America safe. The NIMS ensures that they will have the same preparation, the same goals and expectations, and most importantly, they will be speaking the same language. B. Scope of the Collier County CEMP: 1. The “Basic Plan” is sufficient to provide an “all hazards” response template for most emergencies. Hazard specific annexes were developed for unique emergencies such as wildland fire, terrorism and pandemic responses. 2. The “Basic Plan” and the annexes identify roles, responsibilities, relationships, direction and control measures and protocols for a variety of hazard event responses between local, State and Federal agencies. Generally a unified command is established to manage the emergency response. 3. This “Plan” details actions necessary for short term and long term recovery and mitigation efforts following a disaster. The EOC serves as the initial forum to coordinate Recovery activities. Once Recovery activities are focused on a specific function, e.g., debris management, long-term recovery will best be managed by the department directly. Mitigation measures are addressed through the county’s Local Mitigation Strategy meetings and through rebuilding initiatives associated with damaged facilities from a major disaster event. C. Methodology 1. The Collier CEMP was produced by the team efforts of the entire Collier County Emergency Management staff, the tasked agencies for each of the eighteen Emergency Support Functions, and personnel involved in Recovery and Mitigation activities. Additionally, following each major disaster response and exercise response, all responding agencies are asked to participate in a critique and an after- action report is completed and plan improvements are made where appropriate. The Emergency Management Director or his/her representative is responsible for the development and maintenance of the CEMP including coordinating revisions, publishing changes and/or disseminating the CEMP. 2. Guidance documents include the following: the National Response Framework, Florida Statute Chapter 252 and the Robert T. Stafford Act. 3. Maintenance of plan currency is achieved in the following manner: a. Basic Plan will be reviewed by Emergency Management staff before 1 June, each year and after each plan implementation due to a threat of or actual disaster. Major changes to the Basic Plan to the CEMP will go before the Board of County Commissioners for adoption. b. Emergency Support Function (ESF) appendices will be reviewed by the appropriate agencies associated with the ESF. Corrections will be forwarded to Emergency Management who will distribute page changes to all recipients of the plan. Changes to the ESF appendices do not need Board of County Commissioner approval as long as the spirit and intent of the Basic Plan has not changed. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 3 c. Hazard Specific Annexes will be developed as needed and reviewed at least annually and immediately after the disaster event for which the annex was written. Hazard specific annexes can be developed and added to/removed from the Collier County CEMP, as needed, without Board of County Commissioner approval as long as the spirit and intent of the Basic Plan has not changed. d. Standard Operating Guides (SOGs) should be developed and maintained by each tasked agency to support the tasking(s) in this plan. e. The master CEMP document is maintained electronically in the Emergency Management virtual library on the web (http://www.colliergov.net/Index.aspx?page=1537). A paper version of the current plan is available in the County Manager’s Office for review. f. A CEMP notification list is maintained in Appendix 4 to the Basic Plan and updated as required by the Collier County Emergency Management Division. g. Collier County Emergency Management maintains a Revision Log. Revisions will be noted on the web page when they are approved. h. The Revision Log will reflect both the date and number of the revision, as well as, a brief description of the content. A copy of this log will be found in the front of the CEMP. II. SITUATION Because of the existing and continuing possibility of the occurrence of natural, human-caused, or technological hazards within Collier County, the County must be adequately prepared to deal with, reduce vulnerability to, and recover from such emergencies or disasters. The emergency management functions, within the County, must be coordinated with other local governmental and non- governmental agencies and the State Division of Emergency Management to ensure the most effective preparation and use of manpower, resources, and facilities. The figures following depict Collier County specifics. A. Hazards Analysis: An all-inclusive Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment (HIRA), and Consequence Analysis was conducted which reviewed 23 hazards with a potential to impact Collier County. Of these 23 hazards, 10 have been identified as core hazards due to having a “high” or “very high” risk and were further analyzed. This CEMP primarily addresses the human-caused and technological core hazards while Section Two and Annex A of the Collier County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) provides a detailed analyses of the core natural hazards…. This document may be found on-line through the following URL: http://www.colliergov.net/Index.aspx?page=2810. The following are the Core Hazards identified by the HIRA: - Hurricane & Tropical Storm - Major Transportation Accident - Wildfire - Terrorism - Climate Change/Sea Level Rise - Flood: Stormwater & Localized - Pandemic - Severe Weather & Tornado - Civil Disorder - Mass Casualty Incident Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 4 Figure 1 - HAZARDS ANALYSIS Hazard Definitions 1. Civil Disorder – A situation that may affect any and all jurisdictions whereby the public gathers to protest something without appropriate notice/permits. This protest may take the form of civil disobedience to violent crowd activities. 2. Climate Change/Sea Level Rise – See Floodplain Management Plan (http://bit.ly/1C0JUbK), Chapter 4, para 4.2.1 3.

The water management district monitors aquifer conditions and make regulatory adjustments for water usage based their findings. 6. Earthquake – Collier County has no history of earthquakes or of damages suspected to be caused by earthquakes. Research of history books and other USGS sources via the internet revealed that Florida is not usually a state subjected to earthquakes and the minor shocks attributed to them were generally felt in areas of North Florida and in the Florida Panhandle. 7. Flood: Stormwater & Localized – See Floodplain Management Plan, Chap. 4, para 4.2.5 8. Flood: 100yr & 500yr Events - See Floodplain Management Plan, Chap. 4, para 4.2.4 9. Gas Pipeline Rupture – An incident whereby an unplanned gas pipeline rupture occurs and results in either fire/explosion or gas release. 10. Hurricane & Tropical Storm - See Floodplain Management Plan, Chapter 4, para 4.2.6 11. Landslides & Sinkholes – Collier County has no hills or any elevations which presents a landslide threat. Collier County has had no confirmed sinkhole incidents. See also Collier County Multi- Jurisdictional Mitigation Strategy, Annex A, page 5. 12. Hazardous Materials Accidents – An incident that produces casualties that have been exposed to hazardous materials that may require decontamination and treatment. See also Collier County Multi-Jurisdictional Mitigation Strategy, Annex A, page 5. 13. Major Transportation Accidents – See Collier County Multi-Jurisdictional Mitigation Strategy, Annex A, page 5. 14. Mass Casualty Incident - An incident that produces more patients than available resources can manage using routine procedures. 15. Mass Migration Emergency – See Florida Division of Emergency Management’s (FDEM) Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, The State of Florida Emergency Response Team Mass Migration Annex. 16. Nuclear Power Plant Accident – See FDEM’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, The State of Florida Radiological Emergency Annex. 17. Oil Spill – This hazard is intended to be of such magnitude that the local jurisdiction’s resources are overwhelmed and cannot contain it without outside resource help. 18. Pandemic – Normal supply chain(s) have been disrupted due to debilitating illness. Many event types may disrupt supply chain(s) including winter storms or work stoppages. 19. Severe Weather & Tornadoes – A violentl y rotating column of air with circulation reaching the ground. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado, winds of at least 58 mph (50 knots), and/or hail at least ¾" in diameter. Structural wind damage ma y imply the occurrence of a severe thunderstorm. A thunderstorm wind equal to or greater than 40 mph (35 knots) and/or hail of at least ½" is defined as approaching severe. Consider severe storm damage in total, additional specific items may be addressed in later events. See also See Collier County Multi-Jurisdictional Mitigation Strategy, Annex A, Appdx. 2 Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 5 20.

Probability The Probability column rates the incident’s likelihood of occurring over a defined time span with the highest scores being given to those incidents likely within the next year to three years. Human Impact The Human Impact column rates the incident’s possibility of injur y or death. Property Impact The Propert y Impact column rates the incident’s possibility of severel y damaging the facilities within the defined impact region . Severe damage can be considered that damage that limits or eliminates a portion of a facility for operation, impacting the facility’s ability to provide its designed function/purpose. Jurisdictional Impact The Jurisdictional Impact column rates the incident’s impact on interruption or termination of a jurisdiction’s services. Interruption of services in a jurisdiction may drastically impair the jurisdiction’s ability to provide essential governmental services to the community and may include the loss of equipment or personnel. Environmental Impact The environment surrounding a hazardous event may either suffer direct or collateral environmental damages. Recovery This is the time estimated for government and the community to return to pre-disaster conditions. Warning Time The Warning Time column rates the anticipation time for the identified incident. This criteria provides an opportunity to score how long the jurisdiction has to implement plans and procedures for the incident. Duration The Duration column rates the anticipated time that the incident may occur impacting the jurisdiction.

As previously discussed (Background), ten (10) of the 23 hazards analyzed were determined to pose a high or very high risk to Collier County and those ten hazards were further evaluated in the below consequence analysis. The remaining hazards were found to be a modera te or low risk and therefore no further evaluation conducted. Special consideration was placed on the impact to the public, responders, continuity of operati ons including continued delivery of services, property, facilities, infrastructure, the environment, economic condition of the jurisdiction, and public confidence in the jurisdiction’s governance. This is a summarized collection of the analysis completed in the County Comprehe nsive Emergency Management Plan, the Local Mitigation Strategy, and the Floodplain Management Plan.

Geographic Information: Collier County is located on the southwest coast of Florida. Lee and Hendry Counties border it on the north, on the east by Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, on the south by Monroe County, and on the west by the Gulf of Mexico. See Figure 2, Geographic Information, for specific physical characteristics. Figure 2, Geographic Information CHARACTERISTICS DESCRIPTION Square Miles Land area = ~2,000 square miles; 50 miles front directly on the Gulf of Mexico Topography/Elevation Flat topography, ranging from 0-5 feet above sea level along the coast, gradually rising to 35-40 feet in the northeast portion of the County. The average elevation in the County is 10-11 feet. A ridge (elevation 11-17 feet), which generally mimics US 41, runs from 4th Avenue S. in Naples northward to Bonita Shores. Rivers/Water Areas There are no major rivers within the County and approximately 50 miles of coastline. Water areas are comprised of man-made lakes, canals and water retention areas with the exception of Lake Trafford, west of Immokalee. From a high point near Immokalee the drainage pattern is south and southwesterly toward the coast with an average slope of one foot per mile. Wetlands & Environmentally Sensitive Areas Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Everglades National Park, Collier Seminole State Park, Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and Cape Romano-Ten Thousands Islands Aquatic Preserve. Agriculture/Wetlands Rural Estates Planning Community, the western portion of the Royal Palm community, and portions of the Corkscrew planning community Bridges: Swing/Draw None Major transportation routes Interstate 75 is the main north/south and east/west transportation routes through Collier County. There are currently five off-on ramps from I-75 within the County: Exit 111 (Immokalee Road), Exit 107 (Pine Ridge Road), Exit 105 (Golden Gate Parkway), Exit 101 (CR 951), and Exit 80 (SR 29). US 41 from East Naples to the Lee County line is generally local truck and automobile traffic. Commercial area Four areas zoned for light industry in the north and central Naples planning communities: along U.S. 41 from CR 951 to the Lee County line, CR 951 in Golden Gate, Airpor t and Goodlette Roads south of Golden Gate Parkway, 5th Avenue South in the City of Naples, and Main Street (US 29) in Immokalee. Urban area Naples: bounded west and south by the Gulf of Mexico, Lee County to the north and CR 951 to the east. Development West of SR 951, intensity of development is low (three to six dwellings per acre). The only exceptions to this are in the Park Shore, Pelican Bay, Vanderbilt Beach (sixteen dwelling units per acre) and Marco Island. Geographic Area(s) of Hazard Impacts The random nature of six or the eight high risk hazards (Transportation, Terrorism, Pandemic, Civil Disorder Severe Weather and Mass Casualty) make it difficult to map the areas affected by those hazards besides the obvious population centers along the coastline to Golden Gate “City” and the Immokalee communities. The wildfire vulnerable areas are depicted on page 6 of Appendix 1 to Annex A of the Local Mitigation Strategy (http://bit.ly/2aNpoIc) and for Hurricanes/Tropical Storms, see Basic’s Figure 22, page 61 for the Storm Surge impact areas. C. Demographics 1. See Figure 3, Population & Economic Information, for resident and non-resident population data. Population density ranges from one dwelling unit per six acres in portions of Golden Gate Estates to 16 units per acre in portions of Pelican Bay, Park Shore, Vanderbilt Beach and the southwest coast of Marco Island. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 16 2. There are approximately 1,050 people that are registered with the County as special needs clients. 3. Collier County experiences an increase of 70,000 to 80,000 tourists throughout the peak tourist months of January through April each year. As expected, tourists tend to congregate along the beaches and golf course communities in the Naples- Marco Island metropolitan areas. Eco-tourism is also increasing substantially each year in the area around Everglades City. 4. Collier County is becoming very cosmopolitan with residents representing most of the world's nations. Although English is widely spoken and understood, there is a sizeable population of Hispanic and Creole speaking population in the agricultural areas of Immokalee and East Naples. 5. Approximately 600 to 700 people are considered transients and live near the day- labor areas of East Naples. Migrant farm workers account for an additional 9000 people and are concentrated in Immokalee and East Naples. 6. Mobile Home Parks: There are 128 mobile home parks (7,893) spaces within Collier County. The locations of most of the parks outside Immokalee are along/near route US-41. The community of Immokalee has the next biggest greatest concentration of 62 mobile home parks (1,059 spaces). These parks are mainly populated by residents associated with the agricultural businesses. The associated population numbers for the Immokalee area aren’t known. The population for the 61 mobile home parks (approximately 6,828 spaces) west and south of I-75 is mostly retirees and winter visitors. 7. Prisoners: The prisoner population in Collier County averages 900.

Economic Profile Major industrial sectors within Collier County include services, retail trade, finance, insurance, real estate, agriculture and construction. Historically, employment within the County has been seasonal and largely attributable to a pleasant sub-tropical climate during the winter months, creating a seasonal-based tourist economy. Recently, however, Collier County’s seasonal population has stayed longer, thus adding additional diversity to the County’s economy. (The 2006 Economic, Demographic & Community Profile). With regard to the economic impact due to a disaster, since most of the Collier’s industry is west and south of Interstate-75, a major land-falling hurricane has the potential to cripple Collier’s economy while undergoing rebuilding. Prolonged extreme weather events, such as drought, freezing conditions, wet conditions, create conditions that may have catastrophic impacts of Collier’s agriculture industries and the community around Immokalee.

Planning Assumptions 1. A disaster may occur with little or no warning, and may escalate more rapidly than the ability of any single local response organization or jurisdiction can manage. 2. Achieving and maintaining effective citizen and community preparedness reduces the immediate demands on response organizations. This level of preparedness requires continual public awareness and education programs to ensure citizens will take appropriate advance actions to reduce their vulnerability especially during the initial days (72 hours) after disaster impact. 3. Local municipalities will use local resources and coordinate with the county Emergency Management office for additional resources. 4. Evacuation and sheltering will be coordinated with the Board of County Commissioners, the Health Department and Collier County School Board; and, rely upon regional coordination for the best available shelter operations. 5. If Collier County is requested to provide “host evacuation sheltering”, the Governor, through the State Emergency Operations Center, will issue instructions/mission to the local government. 6. Local emergency management agencies will initiate actions toward saving lives and protecting property while working to maintain direction and control through their emergency operation centers. 7. The State Emergency Operations Center will be activated and staffed by the State Emergency Response Team to support local operations. 8. When State resources and capabilities are exhausted, additional resources will be requested through interstate mutual aid agreements and federal assistance. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 24 9. Planning at the county and State levels will be based on pre-identification of populations and determination of resource shortfalls and contingencies. Persons needing special care can either register on-line with the State or can contact Collier County Emergency Management Division to register as a person with special needs. 10. There are two federally recognized Indian Tribes (the Seminole and the Miccosukee) within the State, with reservations, in Broward, Miami-Dade, Collier, Hendry, Glades, and Hillsborough counties. The State Emergency Response Team will provide assistance to the Tribes as requested while respecting the governmental sovereign nation status they hold in the United States as sovereign nations. Effective emergency management requires the cooperation, partnership, and mutua1 consideration of neighboring governments, whether those governments are neighboring tribes, local governments, or the State. Accordingly, the Plan will encourage early communication and partnership among the two Indian tribes, local governments, and the State in emergency management matters. 11. Each State agency and volunteer organization will document and seek reimbursement, as appropriate, for expenses incurred during disaster operations. III. RESPONSIBILITIES Government officials at all levels share responsibility for the planning necessary to minimize losses and provide relief from natural disasters. Figure 8, Roles & Responsibilities Overview, specifies government agency responsibilities (primary or support) in the following categories: increased readiness, local state of emergency, warning, evacuation, shelter, records preservation, damage assessment for Individual & Household Assistance, damage assessment for Public Assistance, temporary housing, disaster recovery centers, infrastructure, environmental protection, hazard mitigation, training and education, exercises, and financial.

Responsibilities of Local Government Collier County government is prepared to: 1. Direct and control response to the majority of incidents/emergencies in accordance with the statutes and ordinances of the State of Florida and Collier County and mutual aid agreements with adjacent political subdivisions, special districts and volunteer organizations. 2. Provide immediate response through local law enforcement, fire, emergency medical and public facilities that are located in the vicinity of the emergency. 3. Establish readiness guidelines that ensure proper training, notification of personnel and the availability of needed personnel and equipment in time of emergency. 4. Request activation of mutual aid agreements when specific aid is required. 5. Request assistance from the state and federal governments through the State Division of Emergency Management when local government resources are committed and found to be inadequate to respond to the situation and/or when a particular capability is required and is not available locally. 6. Participate in federal and state efforts to accomplish post-disaster hazard mitigation plans and studies as required by federal regulations when federal Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 27 grants and loans are made available to the jurisdiction under a Presidential Disaster Declaration. 7. Coordinate post environmental remediation activities. B. Coordination with the State 1. All local response and recovery efforts (resources and requests for assistance) will be coordinated. To this end, the following direct communications are established: between coordinating offices in respective state and local EOCs, and between ESFs in the respective state and local EOCs. 2. All requests for out-of-county assistance must be coordinated through the Collier County EOC. At the request of Collier County government, and contingent upon available state staff, the Division of Emergency Management will send liaison officers to Collier County to coordinate requests for state assistance. For Hurricane/Severe Storm operations, under the Time Delineation Schedule, these actions commence during the preparation phase (Hurricane Watch). C. Coordination with Federal Government During the Hurricane Warning Phase of the Time Delineation Schedule, post-storm response activities begin. Among them are coordination of preliminary damage assessment, disaster recovery centers, temporary housing, public assistance, and Presidential Declaration. These activities continue through all phases thereafter. D. Communications The primary communications system between all levels of government is the telephone and/or facsimile systems. If the primary system fails, cellular phones will be made available in the EOC. The EOC is equipped with a satellite phone/radio as well as a portable “bag satellite phone” available for dispatch; there is also an additional satellite phone/radios in the Multi-Agency Communication & Coordination Vehicle (MACC-V). ARES/RACES radio operators may also be available in the County EOC. E. Plan Revisions Collier County Emergency Management will maintain responsibility for plan revisions in accordance with Section I., paragraph C. 3, "Maintenance of plan currency…." F. Roles/Responsibilities: Recovery and Mitigation In addition to the activities outlined in Section IV, paragraph F.6, the Disaster Recovery Task Force shall address: Community recovery planning; Building and construction issues; Public and private financing; Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 28 Recovery management/information systems; Public information citizen outreach; Residential housing issues/concerns; Business issues/concerns; Environmental and ecological issues/concerns; Development and implementation of a redevelopment plan for hazard prone areas; and Implementation of an acquisition program to acquire storm damaged property in hazard prone areas. G. Tasking Coordination Taskings during all activation levels will be coordinated through the Operations Section and associated Emergency Support Functions, using WebEOC when the EOC is staffed. IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS This plan is based on the principle that the County bears the initial responsibility for disaster preparedness response, recovery and mitigation. As a corollary to this principle, each level within local government will accomplish the functions for which it is responsible, requesting relief from the next higher level of government only after resources at that level are inadequate to respond to the emergency. Requests for state assistance will usually be initiated only after a State of Local Emergency has been declared. A. Levels of Disaster Disaster levels are defined in accordance with Chapter 252, Florida Statutes: Minor, Major and Catastrophic. See Figure 9, Levels of Disaster, for a description of disaster levels, event magnitude, and response and recovery actions. Figure 9, Levels of Disaster EVENT INCIDENT MINOR MAJOR CATASTROPHIC LEVEL OF THREAT TO PERSONS AND/OR PROPERTY A condition of significant and threatening peril A condition of extreme peril, with significant threat A condition of exceptional threat An extraordinary threat; the community’s fulfillment of essential functions are prevented EXAMPLE Multiple alarm fire, limited hazardous materials spill Brush fire, small tornado, fresh water flooding, small hazardous materials spill Minor hurricane/ tropical storm, major flooding, major brush fires, or medium size hazardous materials spill Category 3 or greater hurricane, major offshore oil spills that threaten county beaches and environmentally sensitive areas EVENT MAGNITUDE Isolated, with an ordinary threat to life and/or property Isolated, with a significant threat to life and/or property Single or multiple event, with other associated incidents Single or multiple event, with many additional separate associated incidents POPULATION AFFECTED Limited or small Limited Widespread Widespread GEOGRAPHIC IMPACT Defined Defined Widespread Widespread Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 29 RESPONSE EOC ACTIVATION LEVEL Normal Ops - Liaison Immediate action within local resource capability; no mutual aid required Monitoring Immediate action within local resource capability; no mutual aid required Partial – Alert Phase Immediate action within local resource capability.

General 1. Non-Emergency Operations The Board of County Commissioners, comprised of five elected officials, is the chief policy making body. Subordinate to the Board is the County Manager's Office and the office of the County Attorney. There are currently four Departments under the County Manager comprising 40 divisions or sections. The Collier County Airport Authority operates independently, under the Board of County Commissioners. The organizational structure under the Board of County Commissioners is indicated in the Organizational Flow Chart Figure 10, Collier County Organizational Chart. The Clerk of Courts, Sheriff, Tax Collector, Supervisor of Elections, and Property Appraiser, as elected officials, operate independently but are fully integrated and have a vital role in the plan. three Independent Fire Districts, Collier County Public Schools District, and the Collier County Mosquito Control District operate independently and are fully integrated into this plan as well as having their own plans. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 30 There are three municipalities within the County: City of Marco Island, City of Naples and Everglades City. The Cities of Naples and Marco Island have developed their own emergency management programs. The Collier County Emergency Management Division works closely with the City of Marco Island, City of Naples, Everglades City, Collier County Sheriff's Office, Collier County Public Schools District, and the Collier County Mosquito Control District and the Independent Fire Districts in coordinating resources and personnel. Figure 10, Collier County Organizational Chart 2. Emergency Operations When the Board of County Commissioners issues a State of Local Emergency Declaration by invoking the provisions of Chapter 252, F.S., all county departments and agencies are realigned and come under the direct control of the Board of County Commissioners. In addition, the Emergency Management Division becomes directly responsible to the Board of County Commissioners during the emergency period. The organization of county agencies will change to facilitate the performance of emergency functions in accordance with Collier County's Incident Management/Emergency Support Function organizational structure. See Figure 11-Emergency Operations Support Structure. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 31 Figure 11-Emergency Operations Support Structure Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 32 C. Coordination, Direction & Control 1. EOC Role and Activation Conditions: The EOC may be activated as either as “Command” entity or as a “Support” entity. For an event using many resources of one jurisdiction, the EOC may serve as a single command element for the operation. Where incidents occur across political jurisdictions or there is more than one responding agency with incident jurisdiction, the EOC is activated as a “command” entity, usually using a “Unified Command” element to direct operations. As a unified command, the EOC will serve as the “Area Command” location (See Annex F). In its “Support” role it acts as a Multi-Agency Coordination Center. It supports incident management policies and priorities established by the on-scene command element, e.g., wildfire operations. a. Board of County Commissioners Establishes policy. Promulgates emergency ordinances. Establishes the mandatory evacuation zones. b. County Manager Activates EOC when appropriate. Directs tasked organizations to ensure response personnel report to the EOC or appropriate locations in accordance with agency SOGs. When notified, reports to EOC. If appropriate, identifies and establishes contact with the Incident Commander in the field. Provides overall direction of emergency response operations. As appropriate, directs the implementation of protective actions for public safety. If necessary, directs EOC staff to relocate to the alternate EOC to maintain continuity of government and emergency operations. When appropriate, terminates response operations and releases personnel to resume normal operations. c. County Attorney When notified of an emergency situation, sends a representative to the EOC, if appropriate. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 33 Provides legal support, prepares emergency ordinances and proclamations. d. Collier District Schools, Office of the Superintendent When notified of an emergency situation, sends a representative to the EOC, when appropriate. Protects students, in schools, when an emergency occurs. Evacuates students, if appropriate. When directed by appropriate authority, closes school facilities and releases students. When directed by appropriate authority, assists in the transportation of "special needs" clients and those needing transportation to shelters. When directed by appropriate authority, assists in the evacuation of nursing homes, assisted living facilities and hospitals. When directed by appropriate authority, assists in the evacuation of areas not serviced by the Collier Area Transit (CAT) system and augments the CAT service should the service become overwhelmed. When directed by appropriate authority, notifies staff to be prepared to operate the school-shelters and activate their sheltering operations center. e. Emergency Management Immediately notifies the County Manager of significant emergency situations that could affect the jurisdiction. Opens a WebEOC “incident” and notifies participating agencies to that fact so that all can have a common operating picture and make entries accordingly. When notified by the County Manager, or when circumstances dictate, notifies all tasked organizations, informs of the situation, and directs them to take action appropriate for the situation in accordance with SOGs. Activates the EOC when directed by the County Manager (or his/her representative) or when the situation warrants such action. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 34 Manages EOC resources and directs the following EOC operations. Duties may include ensuring that information- processing activities/actions are accomplished. Information processing involves the collection, evaluation, display and dissemination of information about the emergency situation to assist in supporting the County's response operations. Information collection sources include but are not limited to: o Emergency response organizations, media, o Neighboring jurisdictions, o State and federal governments, o Volunteer groups, o Local businesses, o Citizens, and o Internet. Tasks associated with information processing include: o Maintaining significant event log; o Message handling; o Collecting damage assessment information from all available sources; o Identifying resource needs; o Preparing summaries; o Preparing briefings for senior staff and the Policy Group; o Displaying appropriate information in the EOC; and o Preparing situation reports (SITREPS) for dissemination. o Managing & Directing EOC operations. Coordinates logistical support for response personnel and disaster victims. Provides situation advisories/briefs to the County Manager and other key members of the organization. Recommends to the County Manager actions to protect the public from the life threatening consequences associated with the emergency situation. f. Public Utilities Department will Develop and maintain Debris Management Plan. Report to the EOC when requested. g. Office of Management and Budget When notified of an emergency situation, reports to the EOC. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 35 Upon Emergency Management’s request, obtains and disseminates a “Project Number” for the disaster from the Clerk of Court’s office to be used by all Collier County agencies under the Board of County Commissioners. Provides the Resource Manager and the County Manager with summary briefings on the status of financial transactions. h. Administrative Services Department Maintains records of all financial transactions during response and recovery periods. Becomes familiar with the protocol and guidelines of the Stafford Act that are applicable to reimbursing Collier County for eligible expenses associated with Presidential disaster declarations and provided any guidance and training necessary. Upon termination of the response effort, prepares the appropriate reports that address costs incurred by the County during the emergency period. 2. Emergency Management System Below Figure 12, Emergency Management System Diagram, depicts the relationship between the eligible governmental and quasi-governmental agencies within Collier County, State of Florida Emergency Management Division (FDEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Essentially all disaster communication, coordination, etc., between eligible agencies within Collier County and FDEM and FEMA in that order, will go through the Collier County Emergency Operations Center. Eligible expenses incurred by each eligible entity not under the Board of County Commissioners within Collier County is the responsibility of that entity and not the Board of County Commissioners or the Collier County Emergency Operations Center. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 36 Figure 12, Emergency Management System Diagram 3. The Emergency Organization a. Authority and Responsibility/Activation of the County Plan (1) The Board of County Commissioners votes to declare that a Local State of Emergency exists and to activate the County's emergency plan. In the absence of a quorum, and as specified in Article III, Chapter 38 (Civil Emergencies), of Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, continuous leadership authority and responsibility shall be designated to the Chairperson of the Board of County Commissioners, or in his absence, to the Vice- Chairperson; or, in alphabetical order, other County Commissioners in the absence of the Chairperson and Vice- Chairperson; or the County Manager in the absence of the County Commissioners; or the Clerk of the Court in the absence of the aforementioned elected officials; or the Deputy County Manager in the absence of the above. Emergency measures may likewise be ordered and promulgated via the above line of succession. (2) The County Emergency Management Director or his/her representative may activate portions of the plan, if disaster threatens, prior to the Board of County Commissioners’ decision Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 37 to issue a State of Local Emergency Declaration. In this situation, the Emergency Management Division will coordinate increased readiness guidelines and such emergency response actions as might be necessary for the immediate protection of life and property. (See Appendix 3 to Basic Plan is a sample Local State of Emergency Declaration.) Another situation whereby a portion of the EOC may be activated is when a responsible emergency response official, e.g., fire or operations chief, law enforcement or EMS chief, etc., requests that Area Command be established. Area Command is established as an authority to command fire suppression, emergency medical services and rescue resources in support of one or more complex incidents. Collier County Area Command is established by declaration of a County Fire Chief / Operations Chief in cooperation with Collier County Emergency Management upon determination that the impact of an incident or multiple incidents are competing for the same resources or have diminished County resources to the point of effecting service delivery. The purpose of an Area Command is either to assist in the management of multiple incidents that are each being handled by a separate ICS organization or to support the management of a very large or complex incident. (See Annex F) (3) Emergency Powers of the Board of County Commissioners. By authority of Chapter 252.38 (1) and (2), Collier County and the Cities of Marco Island and Naples have certain emergency powers as listed below. The municipality of Everglades City, without a formal emergency management program, will be served by the Collier County Emergency Management Division. In accordance with Chapter 252.38 (3) emergency powers are as follows: Perform public work and take whatever prudent action is necessary to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the community. This includes but is not limited to: Directing the evacuation from a stricken or threatened area; Establishing evacuation routes and destinations; Controlling ingress and egress to and from an emergency area; Suspending or limiting the sale, dispensation or transportation of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives or combustibles; Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 38 Making provision for the availability and use of temporary emergency housing; Taking effective measures for limiting or suspending lighting devices and appliances, gas and water mains, electric power distribution, and all other utility services in the public interest; and Taking measures concerning the conduct of the general population, the movement and cessation of movement of vehicular traffic prior to, during and subsequent to actual or threatened emergencies. Enter into contracts; Incur obligations; Employ permanent and temporary workers; Use volunteer workers; Acquire and distribute, with or without compensation, supplies, materials and facilities; Rent equipment; and Appropriate and expedite public funds. A Declaration of a State of Local Emergency (pursuant to Chapter 252, Florida Statutes) will activate the disaster response and recovery efforts of county and municipal disaster plans that apply to the affected area. During the period of Local State of Emergency, all County departments and agencies come under the direct control of the Board of County Commissioners. Departments in the cities of Naples and Marco Island come under the direct control of the Naples and Marco Island City Councils, respectively. As a result, the organizational structure of each agency may change to facilitate the performance of emergency functions. All County agencies and municipalities must coordinate requests for State or Federal assistance through the Collier County Emergency Operations Center. This requirement does not apply to request for reimbursement under the Federal Public Disaster Assistance Program. b. Emergency Support Function (ESF) Agencies' Responsibilities See Figure 13, Emergency Support Functions (ESF). The Lead agencies of these eighteen functions coordinate activities so Collier County maximizes it ability to respond to and recover from most disaster situations. Figure 14, ESF Supporting Agencies, is a listing of other Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 39 agencies involved in each of the eighteen ESFs and their agencies. ESF personnel in the EOC are essentially planning agents and liaisons for the function.

Organizational System NIMS: Collier County has adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS) for managing disaster operations. Additionally, the eighteen emergency support functions are integrated into the NIMS structure. The Time Delineation Schedule (TDS) is a decision making tool used to guide emergency management activities during disaster operations. The TDS covers the response, recovery and mitigation phases of emergency management. Area Command: This NIMS structure may be initially used to manage most emergencies within Collier County. It may be established near the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 41 incident site or established in the EOC. The purpose of it will be to assist in the management of multiple incidents or support the management of a complex incident. (See Annex F) d. Direction and Control (1) Activation and Management of the EOC The Emergency Operations Center may be activated and staffed depending on the impact or anticipated impact of a disaster. The need to activate the EOC will be determined by the Emergency Management Director, the County Manager or their designated representatives. The level of activation will be determined at this time. WebEOC may be used as a virtual platform for incident related information sharing and documentation. In activation scenarios, liaison(s) for the affected municipalities will be requested to report to the County EOC. The Collier County Multi-Agency Coordination and Communication Vehicle (MACCV) is available for deployment to provide on-scene support to the Incident Commander for all incidents within Collier County including municipalities. The County Manager, or in his absence the Deputy County Manager, will advise of activation and take charge. The Policy/Multi-Agency Coordination Group, consisting of the Board of County Commissioners and/or affected jurisdictional leaders, will furnish authority to take action. The Operations Group will advise and furnish manpower and facilities for operation. The Operations group will consist of: County Manager (Group Chief) Sheriff's Office Representative Growth Management Department Administrator Growth Management Department Deputy Administrator Administrative Services Administrator Public Utilities Administrator Public Services Administrator Director, Department of Health - Collier Emergency Management Director Emergency Management Coordinator Emergency Management Secretary Red Cross Representative Public Information Officer Fire Services Representative EMS Representative Solid and Hazardous Waste Mgmt. Dept. Director Collier County Public Schools Superintendent Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 42 (2) Levels of Activation Other than “Normal Operations”, three levels have been established as a means of activating certain operations procedures. (Figure 15, Levels of Activation). Figure 15, Levels of Activation LEVEL PERSONNEL EOC ACTIVATION NOTIFICATIONS Monitoring Phase EM Staff “Focused” Daily Operations May open a WebEOC Incident - EM Director - State Watch Office - County Warning Point - Selected external agencies Partial/Alert Phase Incident Commander and Operations, Planning, Logistics and Finance Section managers Partial, with extended hours May open a WebEOC Incident Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH) may be activated - County Administrator - County Departments - State Watch Office - Local Media - Other appropriate agencies Full Activation (usually with state and federal support) All of the above plus Federal Liaisons and Military Support Full activation with 24 hour staffing WebEOC, Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH), PIO, Message Center, Security, Media - General Public - State Watch Office - Other appropriate agencies (3) EOC Standard Operating Guides (SOGs) Collier County Emergency Management Division has prepared "Standard Operating Guides for occupants of the Collier County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during Activation." Items not found in this plan are maintained in the Emergency Operations Center. The Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH) and procedures incorporated into this plan by reference and on file, include: (a) EOC locations; (b) EOC functions; Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 43 (c) Guidelines for activation/deactivation of the EOC; (d) Emergency workers personal needs; (e) EOC access and registration procedures; (f) Radio and telephone usage; (g) Status briefings; (h) Media briefings; (i) Personnel needs such as rest areas (workers and families), sanitation facilities, and medical support; and (j) Emergency utility systems. (k) The Messaging System SOG (4) ESF Standard Operating Guides and Checklists The responsibility to develop and maintain SOGs and checklists rests with each ESF and responsible agency. (5) Transition between Response and Recovery Initially after the disaster threat passes, first responders will be performing lifesaving activities and mending critical lines of communication. The Incident Commander, in the EOC will manage both response and initial recovery activities until the environment stabilizes so that longer term recovery activities can be managed outside the EOC by the agencies responsible for those activities. Consistent with the Time Delineation Schedules, recovery actions begin during the response phase (evacuation) with the coordination of post-storm response planning activities. Recovery actions continue thereafter. (6) Mutual Aid and Memoranda of Understanding Mutual aid agreements with other political subdivisions will be consistent with this plan. It is the duty of the parties to mutual aid agreements to render assistance in accordance with the agreements. Authority to enter into mutual aid agreements is contained in Article III, of Chapter 38 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances for Civil Emergencies. Mutual aid agreements are signed legal agreements between governing bodies for reciprocal assistance in emergencies under the terms of the agreement. They become effective when signed by the responsible officials having authority in each political Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 44 subdivision and will remain in effect until terminated by the affected parties. Lead Emergency Support Function agencies are encouraged to develop Mutual Aid and/or Memoranda of Understanding agreements to facilitate efficient operations to their functions to support taskings within this CEMP. Mutual aid agreements address the following: Notification guidelines; immunity from liability, waiver of claims, and indemnifications from third party claims; Compensation considerations; direction and control of persons and units rendering assistance; Any other provisions or guidelines necessary for the expeditious and efficient rendering of aid; and Procedures through which the agreement may be terminated D. Preparedness 1. Training Trained, knowledgeable personnel are essential to successful preparation and implementation of disaster plans. Individuals/agencies with assigned tasks under this plan receive appropriate training and participate in plan drills and exercises. a. Responsibility The Collier County Emergency Management Director is responsible for the coordination of disaster related training and exercising within the County. The Emergency Management Director will make local training requirements known to the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) Regional Coordinator. The training calendar will be distributed to all responsible agencies. Every effort should be made to attend training in Southwest Florida. (1) Local training program for response, recovery and mitigation teams, Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH), damage assessment, fiscal accounting and damage survey request will be scheduled by Emergency Management. Each agency tasked within this plan will be trained to complement/fulfill the requirements of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) commensurate with the role assigned. The NIMS Integration Center establishes the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 45 minimum training standards for credentialing personnel & equipment. (HSPD-5) Each agency shall maintain a roster of trained personnel, including the type of training and date received, for all persons with emergency response capabilities. Trained responders in times of disaster and during recovery operations include: primary responders, Amateur Radio Association of Southwest Florida and specialized Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT). Functions and activities for which the volunteer organizations may require specialized training include: Emergency Radio Operations SKYWARN (Hazardous Weather Spotting) Human Needs Assessment Community Damage Assessment Augmentation Staff (EOC, Staging Areas, etc.) Employees/volunteers may be provided with some form of Collier County Emergency Management identification when they have demonstrated competency in performing certain disaster related tasks. This identification permits entry into disaster areas when their services are required.

Selected staff of the appropriate agency conducts these training programs. The Emergency Management Director will assist in the development of these programs when requested. Copies of the disaster plans and training programs are maintained in the Emergency Management Office. COSTS FOR TRAINING: All State-Delivered (G-series courses listed in Figure 16, above) are free of cost. The student, or sponsoring agency, is responsible for all other associated costs. For those attending FEMA-resident courses, the training is free. FEMA will reimburse the student the allowable travel costs and provide free lodging on the campus. Students, or their sponsoring agency, are responsible for all other costs, e.g., meals. All FEMA Independent Study courses, (IS-courses listed in Figure 16, above) are free. For other State-delivered training opportunities, US Department of Justice, etc., all associated costs will be contained in the training announcement. All training is available to County and municipal personnel, and their volunteers, on a routine basis. The Collier County Emergency Management Division will continuously monitor emergency management related training activities offered at the Federal, State and Local levels. These opportunities will be disseminated to all Federal, State, County and Municipalities that have an emergency response role. The Emergency Management Director will present the County’s training needs for State sponsored courses to the Florida Division of Emergency Management training section via the FDEM Region Coordinator. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 47 2. Exercises The Emergency Management Director schedules at least one disaster exercise each year. Exercises can be one of the following types: Table Top, Drill, Functional or Full Scale. Participants include, but are not limited to, all agencies with emergency response capability. (See Figure 8, Roles & Responsibilities Overview) a. Agency Participation Hospitals and nursing homes are required to schedule two disaster related drills per year to maintain their accreditation. Training for Naples and Collier Airport Authorities are scheduled to meet Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements. Collier County School Security Consortium goal is to exercise with all first response agencies once a year. Training for primary responders is held several times per year. When drills or exercises are conducted, only those agencies with a response requirement are included. For example, a full-scale hurricane exercise would include all agencies listed in Figure 6, Roles and Responsibilities Overview. A hazardous materials drill, however, would involve only the agencies that would respond in an actual event (e.g., Sheriff's Office, Fire District, EMS, pollution control, utility department, road department, and emergency management). The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is required to conduct a regional Hazardous Materials/Community Evacuation planning on a biannual basis. b. Inter-Agency Exercises Interagency training and exercises are conducted as often as practicable, especially when major changes are made to the Collier County CEMP. At a minimum, Collier County participates in the State's annual hurricane exercise. c. Exercise Schedule In the springtime of each year, an in-house technical exercise involving all Emergency Support Functions is held. This exercise is scheduled just prior to hurricane season. In addition, Collier County participates in the annual statewide hurricane exercise. Figure 8, Roles & Responsibilities, identifies agencies likely to participate in exercises. d. Exercise Evaluation and Improvement Plans Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 48 Exercise Planning Teams should have representatives from organizations with primary or other significant roles and extensive knowledge of the plans, policies, and procedures related to the selected scenario or hazard. Representatives from Emergency Management agencies, First Response agencies and Subject Matter Experts from neighboring counties may be invited to attend Collier County drills and exercises as qualified Evaluators and Controllers. All exercises are critiqued through a Hot Wash immediately following the exercise. An after-action planning meeting is recommended to be held within 30 days of the exercise and the After-action report to be completed within 90 days. A copy of AARs are to be provided to the Florida Division of Emergency Management in accordance with any funding, grant, or other existing requirements. An Improvement Plan is also developed by the exercise planning team for tracking and documenting as the identified improvements are completed. 3. Public Awareness and Education a.

Public Service Announcements (PSAs) Collier County’s Communications & Customer Relations Division maintains a distribution listing of all the local media and they approve and transmit all our announcements whether they’re hurricane/disaster seminars or information pertaining to an impending hazard and/or vulnerability upon receipt. Additionally, the Emergency Management Division also maintains a web site (www.CollierEM.org) which contains information and educational material for the public. Some other useful information available of the web site for the public are: Maps containing information about locations of gas stations with generators, evacuation routes, shelter locations, a storm surge inundation map as well as maps of the storm tide depth analyses. Web pages dedicated to the FEMA mitigation opportunities available to the disaster victims, the governments, the private non-profit agencies and the public. During emergencies, or impending emergencies, this web site contains emergency information for the public such as information about hazards and vulnerabilities, locations of Disaster Recovery Centers, Points of Distribution, Disaster Legal Assistance (if made available), Debris Pick- up Information/Instructions and other useful information to aid in the public returning to pre-disaster living. c. Notification Through Non-Media Means The Naples/Collier County telephone book has a section dedicated to “Hurricane Information” which includes: Weather term definitions, Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 50 Information on how to prepare homes and boats, Decision Checklist for Hurricane Evacuation Planning, Storm Surge Map with evacuation routes identified, Tracking map, and Special Needs Registration Information The Collier County "All Hazards Guide" is published and disseminated to approximately 60,000 households annually. This magazine contains information about all the hazards that threaten Collier residents and how they can best prepare and mitigate the hazards. E. Response 1. General a. Chapter 38 of the Collier County Code of Laws & Ordinances for Civil Emergencies specifies the authority for the Declaration of a Local State of Emergency, line-of-succession to declare an emergency, and the measures that may be taken. b. The process to close schools and businesses are listed in the Time Delineation Schedule, Decision Phase. The Superintendent of Schools will recommend to the School Board when schools should be closed. c. The County Manager will coordinate with County Constitutional Officers on either closing or limiting County business and/or services. (CAA Instruction 5900, Cessation of Normal Government Activities, Personnel Roles and Responsibilities During Emergencies and Emergency Disaster Pay) d. Business and industry closings will be coordinated through ESF-18. e. Requests for Resources: When Collier County’s emergency response system is activated, either through emergency management staff deployment to an incident scene, Multi Agency Communication and Coordination Vehicle deployment, some level of EOC activation and/or BCC declaration of a State of Local Emergency, Figure 18 (Flow Chart for Resource Requests) depicts the flow process in determining how resources are obtained when requesting resources through the emergency Management Division. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 51 Figure 18 Flow Chart for Resource Requests Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 52 f. Requests for State Assistance: Requests for state assistance must be forwarded to the SEOC for assessment and approval before deployment of state resources. (See Figure 12, Emergency Management System). Prior to requesting state assistance, the current situation must be identified, the current and projected resource needs must be assessed, and a time frame indicating how long the State resources would be needed must be identified. This should be done as early as possible in order for the State to allocate resources. When local and state resources are determined to be inadequate, the Governor will request assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) channels. This request will be based on local and state damage assessments and expenditure reports that are to be maintained and supplied by the County for each disaster related activity. g. All County personnel are encouraged to develop personal disaster plans, which include safe haven for family members and established points of contact if sheltering is outside the area. 2. Notifications and Warning Guidelines for warning require timely Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH) dissemination to two audiences: public officials and the general public. a. Receipt of Warnings Twenty-four hour Warning Point: The warning point is located in the Collier County Sheriff's Communication Office (staffed around the clock) located on the third floor of the James V. Mudd Emergency Services Center. Should the need arise, the Emergency Management Division can back up the Sheriff’s Warning Point. Both agencies are co- located in the same building which has: adequate communications capabilities to receive warning information from all relevant sources; back-up power; and sufficient elevation to be safe from storm surge flooding up to 25 feet above ground and storm winds from a Category 5 hurricane. The alternate EOC is located at the County’s South Water Treatment Plant, just north of the intersection of Collier Blvd & I-75. It has adequate communications and back-up power. It has internet and is on the county’s fiber network. Warnings may be received by the following means: State’s EMnet, the Internet, the commercial weather satellite receiver, NOAA weather radio, Facsimile and/or report from the general public. (Note: Reports from the general public will be confirmed prior to dissemination.) Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 53 All computer systems in the EOC have access to the Internet and there is a public Wi-Fi service available throughout the ESC for non-county computers. b. Notification to Public Officials & Organizations The extent of notification and warning will be governed by the type and magnitude of the disaster event. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) initial notifications will be made by their sponsoring Fire Departments. See Figure 19, Notification & Warning System. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 54 Figure 19, Notification & Warning System SYSTEM Population Reached Activated & Tested by: Purpose NAWAS (National Warning System) Gov’t Emergence Opns Ctrs and other key facilities.

Emergency Management & Warning Points This is the best system used to “locally” trigger activation of Collier’s Flood Warning System and other Emergency Alerts for the county. Also, the system is good for two-way communication between the Warning Points. It uses both satellite and internet means to transmit information. The system has both voice and data associated with it. Not all warning points have the data capability, but all have the voice. There is a data terminal in each county. NOAA Weather Radio (Emergency Alerting System, EAS) Schools, Public /Gov’t Facilities & up to 265,000 people State Emergency Operations Center, National Weather Service & Collier Emergency Management The best system for immediate hazardous weather warning. Additionally acts as the vehicle to provide weather warnings and Civil Emergency Messages (CEM) to the commercial media for retransmission to their media markets. Emergency Mgt. Web Site Worldwide Emergency Management and CEIH Chief During a County State of Local Emergency, this web site will be the “Emergency Home Page” for the county and a source of current emergency information relevant to the public. Not a good system for immediate warning. The web site is maintained on two servers. It provides preparedness, recovery and weather information. One Call Now Select Groups (County Personnel, registered people with special needs, EOC staff Emergency Management One Call Now is a web-based program that allows Collier County to send automated mass voice, text and email notifications to any size group within minutes using a single toll-free call. The communication method, voice, SMS text* or email, is pre-selected based on the message content and the County’s preferences. Messages can be sent any time from any phone or from the web. Messages can be recorded or typed “on the fly”, or stored for future and repeat use. Currently, the Emergency Management office uses One Call Now for the following voice message notifications: Call-back for County personnel, Pre-registered Special Needs Residents, EOC staff activations, Search and Rescue team alerts, public and private citizens who have registered as having an automated external defibrillator. Satellite Radio-Phone LP1 for LECC Operational Area 9, State Watch Office, Collier MACCV, FDEM Regional Coordinators, & certain counties Emergency Management System is good for warning those who have the service. We can communicate with the State group, SW Fla.

Sheriff’s Office, Cities of Naples and Marco Island This system is activated by 9-1-1 dispatchers at the direction of the law enforcement on-scene commander and each city’s warning point for their jurisdiction. E-mail Collier Gov’t & other deliberately established groups & list groups All Collier Gov’t System is good for getting out information during duty hours. Additionally, from the EM office, it can transmit immediate Information Center to other internet groups listed above. (1) In County: During non-business hours, the Sheriff's Department will notify the Emergency Management director (or his representative) of all warnings via digital text message or Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 55 phone. The Collier County Sheriff's Office will notify the following agencies over Emergency Control as indicated below: Countywide Emergency: Sheriff, EMS, Naples Police and Fire Departments, Fire Districts, Marco Island Fire and Police departments, Florida Forest Service. Hazardous Spills/Major Transportation Accident: Fire Districts in whose area the event occurred, Sheriff/FHP, Police, EMS and Road Division (anywhere in Collier County). Major Structure Fire: Appropriate fire district, police, EMS. Forest Fire: Appropriate fire district, Florida Forest Service, police, EMS. The Emergency Management Division will notify the following by phone or FAX as indicated below. Countywide Emergency: School Administration, Naples Community Hospital, Physicians Regional Medical Centers, Red Cross Disaster Chair, Civil Air Patrol, Board of County Commissioners, the Department of Health, County Manager and all Department administrators and division heads. Notification will also be made to the healthcare and visiting nurse focal points for further dissemination to their associations. Hazardous Spills: State Watch Office, Department of Environmental Protection, and U.S. Coast Guard (for all incidents west and south of US 41) or the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (for all incidents east and north of US 41). Notification will also be made to Collier County Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division (anywhere in Collier County), the Department of Health and Road Department, if so requested by the Incident Commander. The Emergency Management Director will coordinate activities with the Cities of Marco Island, Naples, Everglades City and adjacent counties if conditions so warrant. All warnings passed to primary responders over Emergency Control are recorded. The Emergency Management Director (or representative) will log date, time and addressee of all messages disseminated. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 56 (2) Out-of-County: Collier County Emergency Management will coordinate with neighboring counties via ESATCOM or telephone. c. Notification to the General Public The Emergency Management Director (or representative) has the responsibility for disseminating warnings to: the general public, the various public safety agencies, neighboring jurisdictions, the media, the hotels/motels and the nursing/health facilities. All warnings affecting Collier County will be disseminated to local media and public safety agencies upon receipt of "hard copy”/official warning. An attempt will be made to transmit bulletins to other governmental and non- governmental agencies if time and resources permit. (1) Primary and Back-Up Warning Systems - Warnings will be transmitted to WGCU 90.1 FM, & COMCAST Cablevision, who will provide the information to customers. Television customers will see the warning as a "crawl" at the bottom of the TV screen. The Weather Channel routinely transmits all warnings for this area upon receipt. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office may directly activate the Emergency Alert System through EMnet or the Emergency Management office may request that emergency action statements be transmitted by the State Watch Office or the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Miami via the Emergency Alerting System (EAS). Various fire and law enforcement departments may accomplish door to door checks for areas that are in peril from hazardous spills or fires. Checks will be generally based on the severity of the event regardless of time of day or day of week. (2) Public Emergency Notification - The type of disaster threatening the area will govern the extent of warning. For example, a severe weather warning, marine warning, or hazardous spill would be less extensive than that for a hurricane warning. (3) Warning Hearing Impaired, Visually Impaired and Non-English Speaking Populations - Warnings to the General Public are available via television and radio (AM and FM) in English, Spanish and Creole translations. The Collier County Sheriff's Office, the Emergency Operations Center and the Communication and Customer Relations Department have TDD equipment for providing information to the hearing impaired. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 57 3. Evacuation Evacuation zones and clearance times: Because of the unique threat posed by each tropical cyclone, there are no static evacuation zones. The storm surge map is a planning tool used to identify vulnerability to the water threat by a certain level of tropical cyclone intensity and not an evacuation zone map. The Emergency Management Director makes his evacuation zone recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners to act upon. During tropical storm or hurricane events, all evacuation measures must be taken before the arrival of sustained tropical storm force winds, i.e., greater than 39 miles per hour. After that time power lines, trees, etc. will start falling. All public safety personnel in the affected area of tropical storm force winds will seek shelter. a. Primary and Secondary Evacuation Routes - The primary evacuation routes out of the county are I-75 and US-41 north and eastbound, CR 846 (Immokalee Road) and SR 29. The normal flow of traffic, under most circumstances, will not be changed if the decision to evacuate is issued with sufficient time. Using the Public Transportation System: At the time that either a voluntary or mandatory evacuation order is made, Collier Area Transit (CAT) and Collier District Schools bus fleet will be used to help facilitate the general population evacuation. The evacuation buses will follow the normal CAT routes (depicted on the map below) and deposit passengers at the Transfer Station to be shuttled to a designated shelter. Per special arrangements with the hotels and with the fire departments in Ochopee and Immokalee, additional express bus services will be provided for the service industry workers who live in Immokalee and for the communities around Immokalee and the communities near the intersection of US-41 and SR-29, including Everglades City. Evacuation bus services will cease with the arrival of the anticipated sustained winds of 30 miles per hour. When the weather conditions are safe after the departure of the storm, those shuttled to a shelter will be returned to the Transfer Station or community from which they came. See Figure 20, Public Transportation & Evacuation System. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 58 Figure 20 – Public Transportation & Evacuation System Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 59 Figure 21, Hurricane Shelters & Evacuation Routes Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 60 b. Registration and Evacuation of People with Special Needs - The County maintains a registry of individuals who have special transportation and/or sheltering needs. The Florida Department of Health’– Collier County's Shelter Response Plan serves as guidance for sheltering of special populations. The Special Needs population evacuations get precedence using the Collier District Schools bus fleet assets and or Collier County EMS ambulance Services. c. The Collier County Emergency Management Division maintains a listing of mobile home parks and marinas. The most recent listings are updated in July of each year and are incorporated into this plan by reference (as are future updates). Mobile home park and marina listings are maintained in the Directors office. These listings will be reviewed and updated prior to July 1 of each year. d. Collier County has neither draw nor swing bridges. e. Re-entry: The incident commander or executive group, depending on the incident, will permit re-entry into an area according to the following guidelines: (1) No damages reported: Upon cancellation of all warnings and watches which include Collier County, and when no damage has been reported, re-entry will be authorized. (2) Substantial damages and/or injuries: After a countywide state of emergency which has resulted in substantial injury or harm to the population or substantial damage or loss of property, the evacuation order within those areas of Collier County that previously existed will be rescinded to the degree appropriate. An orderly return may be implemented in accordance with the levels and in order of priority as established below: Level One: Search and rescue teams operating under ESF 9, fire personnel operating under ESF 4, law enforcement personnel operating under ESF 16, transportation crews operating under ESF 1, utilities personnel operating under ESF-3, and Health under ESF-8. Level Two: Damage assessment teams and elected officials, ESF-8, and Recovery operations for the purpose of making preliminary determinations related to accessibility and safety hazards in the evacuated area(s). Level Three: Clean-up teams, operating under ESFs listed above for the purpose of clearing and repairing roads, restoring utilities, and eliminating safety hazards Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 61 to the degree necessary to allow re-entry to the evacuated area. Level Four: Individuals who possess and exhibit appropriate residency documentation shall be determined "priority class parties." Priority Class parties will be given a reasonable time to return to their property (home or business) to survey damage and secure the property. Collier County no longer has a color-coded reentry sticker identification system in order to accelerate the reentry process. Level Five: Complete accessibility shall be restored as soon as practicable. 4. Sheltering (See ESF 6) - a. Storm Surge Vulnerability Storm surge areas are assessed using the SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes) models. See Figure 22,”Maximum of Maximums” Storm Surge, for communities whose boundaries closely approximate SLOSH zones. Additionally, Figure 23, Special Flood Hazard Areas, shows the areas within the county prone to flooding due to heavy rains. This map below indicates the areas of Collier County that are subject to flood from storm surge from hurricanes based on the SLOSH depths from a storm category specific to Collier County. It shows the worst of the worst cases, which would be generated by a storm making landfall in the county. It does not show the surge from any particular track, but from all tracks. It does show the worst possible case for any part of the County for each category of tropical cyclone. Exiting and paralleling storms will not generate the surges shown in this map. It also does not show water depths, which vary depending on the storm strength, site elevation and distance from the coast. The picture only shows the depth in relation to mean sea level. We no longer relate a particular category of storm to both wind and surge threat. For public consumption a particular storm category will only address the threat from the wind hazard. Although Hurricane Charley was a Category 4 storm, it produced only a Category 1 type surge. This is why we no longer present the surge (water hazard) by category of storm. When we're threatened by a storm our local weather service office in Miami will provide us the estimated storm surge threat expected for our community. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 62 Figure 22, “Maximum of Maximums” Storm Surge Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 63 Figure 23, Special Flood Hazard Areas (100 yr. Areas) (Map from Figure 4-12, CC Floodplain Mgt. Plan, 2015) b. Risk & Host Sheltering Figure 21, Hurricane Shelters & Evacuation Routes, depicts potential shelters for evacuees available to the county to select from based on the storm surge threat. We term these shelters as “risk shelters”. Three buildings, not listed or depicted, have been identified on Marco Island as host shelters for those seeking refuge from outside “risk areas”. Please note that not all shelters will be opened. The Emergency Management Division, in consultation with the American Red Cross and Collier County District Schools, will decide which shelters to open based on the characteristics of the storm and the community at risk. c. Pet Friendly Sheltering Pet owners anticipating using the pet-friendly shelters must have their pets pre-registered, meeting requirements stipulated in Appendix 1, ESF- Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 64 17 (Animal Issues). Owners of registered pets in areas threatened by storm surge flooding will receive direct notification of the pet shelter’s opening. F. Recovery 1. General Recovery Functions and Responsibilities The purpose of this component is to initiate activities necessary to ensure a successful recovery effort (e.g., condition monitoring, situation evaluation, identification of recovery center sites, recovery center managers, damage assessment teams, mitigation assessment teams, deployment of damage assessment teams, and mitigation assessment teams to identification of hazard mitigation issues, etc.). During the “Response Phase” a minor “Recovery” component will be contained within ESF-5, Planning & Intel Section, in order to project the requirements and needs after the “Response Phase”. However, depending on the type disaster and damages received, the Operations Group may decide to activate a “Recovery Task Force”. Regarding Municipalities, the city managers should identify their respective Recovery Managers (Figure 24, Recovery Operations Structure). In a Presidential disaster declaration there may be many affected agencies; each with a responsibility to apply for its own disaster assistance and manage its own project(s). Therefore, ESF-5 will coordinate bringing all the eligible activities to meet with FEMA after a disaster in order to facilitate each eligible applicant’s ability to define their own project, grant and financial activities. As a minimum, the following agencies will be invited to participate in the FEMA Kick-Off meeting: Board of County Commissioners, Sheriff, Clerk of Courts, Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, City of Naples, City of Marco Island, Everglades City, United Way agencies, Collier Schools, and Naples Community Hospital. There will be media announcements of the meeting to invite any potential, but omitted, eligible applicants to the meeting. Recovery Task Force: A group composed of individuals that reflect broad-based representation of community interests. Chapter 38 of the Code of Laws [Civil Emergencies] specifies who is a member of this task force. The purpose of this group is to advise the BCC on a wide range of post-disaster recovery, reconstruction and mitigation issues. The Deputy County Manager shall chair the Recovery Task Force, appoint the Recovery Manager for the Emergency Operations Center and invite additional membership based on the disaster, but at a minimum it shall consist of the following, or their representatives: Liaisons from each of the Cities. County Attorney Growth Management Department Administrator Public Utilities Administrator Public Services Administrator Communications & Customer Relations Director Sheriff Growth Management Department Deputy Administrator Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 65 Florida Power & Light Lee County Electric Cooperative Collier County Public Schools Superintendent Collier County Property Appraiser Chair/Vice Chair of the Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group Floodplain Manager Recovery Manager: The Recovery Manager is that individual charged by the Deputy County Manager to oversee the recovery efforts by insuring consistency with the policies of the Recovery Task Force. This individual is responsible for establishing the management system & structure and office location outside the Emergency Operations Center for sustained recovery operations as soon as possible after the disaster event so that the Emergency Operations Center can re- equip and be ready to meet the next threat.

It specifies recovery actions and the responsible agencies/sections under the Immediate Emergency, Restoration and Reconstruction phases. See Figure 6, Roles & Responsibilities Overview, for the ESF’s roles and responsibilities of the recovery functions (damage/impact assessment, Housing & Human Services, Infrastructure, and Mitigation) and agencies responsible for lead and support activities. The lead agency for each function is responsible for the development of Standard Operating Guides. Article I (Post-Disaster Recovery) of Chapter 38 of the Code of Laws & Ordinances provides guidance for disaster recovery operations. This ordinance establishes the Disaster Recovery Task Force. Additionally, it: Provides priorities for post-disaster redevelopment. Provides priorities for essential services and facility restoration. Establishes policies for debris clearance and disposal. Establishes policies for damages determination, county build-back, building repair moratoria, building permitting, new development, emergency permitting, etc. Establishes policies on emergency repairs. Establishes policies on economic redevelopment. Establishes policies on acquiring damaged properties. Requests for federal disaster assistance will be predicated on the requirements outlined in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288). After local government conducts the initial damage assessment and reports to the State Emergency Operations Center via the Collier County EOC, a joint local/State preliminary damage assessment may be scheduled that could include the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This damage assessment validates the local data and is the basis for requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration. Other federal agencies that may participate in the assessment process include the Small Business Administration and Natural Resource Conservation Service. This process is described in 44 CFR, Part 206, Subpart B – The Declaration Process and other federal and State policies and procedures. 2. Recovery Field Operations In the aftermath of a disaster, with or without a Presidential Declaration, the Collier County EOC may deploy several specialized recovery teams (personnel) Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 67 and centers (facilities/activities) into the impacted area. Examples of some of these are: a. Recovery Personnel (1) Damage/Impact Assessment Team – A team deployed to conduct assessments of damages to public entities and individual homes and businesses. The assessment quantifies the extent of the damage, the impact of the damages and is used to justify federal assistance. The Growth Management Department, Operations and Regulatory Management Dept., has the primary responsibility to field the initial impact teams and report results to ESF-5, Planning & Intel. Unless otherwise coordinated, each Municipality will conduct their own assessment and report results to the Emergency Operations Center, ESF-5. Usually the assessments are of two types: Windshield/aerial and post- disaster habitability inspections. Windshield/vehicle assessments are just as the name implies, teams rapidly determine the scope and severity of the damage area without leaving their vehicles. Post-disaster habitability inspections are those in which trained or qualified engineers and/or inspectors determine the level of safe access to each damaged structure and record those measures that need to be taken before unlimited access is permitted. (2) Community Relations Team – A team that is deployed into the impacted community to collect information as well as meet with the disaster-affected community(ies) and eligible individuals in receiving assistance. The primary function of this team is to identify and report unmet human needs and to inform disaster victims of the disaster assistance programs and registration process. The Emergency Management Human Needs Coordinator acts as our liaison to the FEMA/State Community Relations team. This person’s role is to help frame the human needs impact assessment of the community. Should FEMA/State Community Relations teams not be present, this coordinator will interface with ESF-5 and Human Needs Assessment teams to develop a human needs impact profile. (3) Collier Organizations Active in Disasters (COAD) – A committee that helps identify unmet needs and possible assistance. This committee is comprised of volunteer agencies, private sector representatives and governmental agencies. (4) Human Needs Assessment Team – A team that is deployed immediately after a disaster and before the establishment of a Disaster Field Office to help the County assess and report the immediate needs of disaster victims. They will develop a list of observations for Human Needs Coordinator to prioritize for Community Relations teams to follow, for example: ensuring safety of community members in their purview, relaying Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 68 information back to disaster field office/EOC, ensuring that special needs and special populations receive aid information as well, ensuring that accurate and timely information is provided. Additionally, the Human Needs Coordinator, who maintains the listing, will contact key community leaders regarding emergency community needs. b. Recovery Facilities/Activities Recovery operation sites such as: recovery centers, disaster field office, Disaster Recovery Centers, and travel trailer/mobile home sites will be sited nearest the victims using community park facilities and leased commercial facilities. (1) Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) and Essential Service Centers (EssSCs) – are each a temporary facility located in or near the impacted area where survivors can go to obtain information. The centers may be staffed with specialists from FEMA, the State Emergency Response Team (SERT), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and a variety of disaster-recovery representatives from local and voluntary agencies. The responsibility for operating the DRC is FEMA’s and the EssSC is the Florida Division of Emergency Management’s. The Centers are usually sited at community park buildings that have been identified throughout the county and municipalities. Collier County’s Emergency Management and Facility Management Divisions will work with the requesting organization to make the designated facility functional and operational to serve the public. Some of the services that a DRC/EssSC may provide: Guidance regarding disaster recovery Clarification of any written correspondence received Housing Assistance and Rental Resource information Answers to questions, resolution to problems and referrals to agencies that may provide further assistance Status of applications being processed by FEMA SBA program information Floodplain, FEMA and NFIP information (2) Reconstruction Information Center(s) (RIC) – Centers that are set up as one-stop information and permitting point for coordination, technical assistance, and reconstruction expertise assistance in recovery and mitigation activities. These centers will be staffed by agencies with reconstruction and/or permitting responsibilities. The primary RIC will be established at Collier County Growth Management Department Building, 2800 North Horseshoe Drive, if undamaged and serviceable. The Growth Management Department, in coordination with the Building Department and the Floodplain Manager will provide; Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 69 informational handouts, FEMA guides and repair/build-back information pertaining to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and County Ordinances as appropriate, at these centers. (3) Disaster Field Office (DFO)/Joint Field Office (JFO) - When an area is identified to receive a Presidential Disaster Declaration, the federal government (FEMA) sets up a Disaster Field Office/Joint Field Office in or near the affected area to coordinate federal recovery efforts with those of state and local governments. The federal government and the state government both have Coordinating Officers who serve as the respective heads of the recovery effort. The Emergency Management Office, through ESF-5, will coordinate local activities to support the DFO/JFO. 3. Public Assistance Activities a. A Presidential Disaster Declaration initiates a process that begins with applicants filing a Request for Public Assistance at an applicants’ briefing. These briefings are publicized through the media and notifications to the county emergency management director in accordance with 44 CFR-206 Subpart G & H. The Administrative Services Department is responsible for administering the Public Assistance Program for the agencies under the Board of County Commissioners. All municipalities, not-for-profit agencies, Indian tribes, Community Development Districts (CDDs) and other quasi- governmental agencies will be notified of application opportunities by the Emergency Management Division. (NOTE: Since severity and magnitude of a disaster event need to be demonstrated in order to warrant a Presidential Disaster Declaration each eligible agency within the county is responsible for establishing its own procedures that include processing and maintaining records of all expenditures and obligations for manpower, equipment and materials as well as damages costs. The County’s Emergency Management agency will offer public assistance training and updates annually to all eligible entities in order to update them on eligible work items and the EOC’s current process to gather all eligible costs and estimated damages costs.) Some of the potentially FEMA Public Assistance eligible entities are: Agencies under the Board of County Commissioners Constitutional Offices Collier County School Board Mosquito Control District Collier County Fair Each Independent Fire/Rescue District City of Naples City of Marco Island City of Everglades Immokalee Water-Sewer District Redlands Christian Migrant Assn (RCMA), Inc. RCMA Immokalee Community School Naples Community Hospital Healthcare System Collier County Children’s Advocacy Council David Lawrence Center Fun Time Early Childhood Academy, Inc.

Project worksheets are prepared for eligible emergency costs and eligible costs for restoration of damaged facilities. c. The federal share for reimbursement under most federal declarations is 75 percent. The 25 percent non-federal share is normally provided from a combination of State and local sources in accordance with policies established by the Executive Office of the Governor and the Florida Legislature. In addition, the federal government does provide for an administrative cost allowance for each eligible project that is 100 percent federally funded. d. The State serves as the Grantee and eligible applicants are Sub-grantees under the federal disaster assistance program. There is no one agency in the county authorized to execute funding agreements with other legal entities on behalf of the county. Each eligible jurisdiction/entity, e.g., municipalities, independent fire districts, certain private-non-profit organizations, etc., establishes its own procedures to follow in order to execute funding agreements with other entities. Agreements necessary for agencies under the Board of County Commissioners are only executed by the Board of County Commissioners unless otherwise designated by them. Contractual agreements with the State Division of Emergency Management are executed with applicants with all reimbursements coming through the Division. Some of the Sub-grantees within Collier County are: the Board of County Commissioners, for those agencies which draw their monies from General Revenue; each Fire District, each City, the Collier School District, each taxing district, etc. e. Documentation, record keeping, inspections, and final closeouts are overseen and approved by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. One office under each Sub-grantee will maintain these records locally making them available for audit. f. Non-presidential or agency declarations can provide some disaster assistance through the Department of Agriculture, the Small Business Administration, and other federal agencies. In the event there is no Federal or agency assistance available, the unmet needs committee, para. 5 a. below, will be formed to see if any direct assistance agencies can address the victim needs with their resources. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 71 g. The Governor or the Legislature may authorize other assistance to a local government based upon a declared emergency. 4. Individuals & Household Programs a. Once a Presidential Disaster Declaration has been issued that authorizes Individuals & Household Programs, the State Individual Assistance Officer will coordinate with a federal counterpart on all related individual assistance programs, as defined and prescribed in 44 CFR, Part 206, Subparts D, E, and F. b. The primary means of applying for Individuals & Household Programs will be made through a National Tele-registration toll-free number. c. Disasters that do not support the criteria for requesting Individuals & Household Programs as part of a Presidential Disaster Declaration may meet the criteria for other federal assistance. d. Individuals & Household Programs Inspectors will meet with the State Mitigation Officer in a contractor’s Briefing. e. Temporary Housing – Following a “Presidential Disaster Declaration” FEMA will manage the Temporary Housing program. They will initially look for available rental properties and apartments before they will bring in mobile homes for disaster displaced victims. Prior to FEMA’s arrival, governmental departments within the County that have access to agencies and businesses which control rental housing and subsidized housing, shall query their sources for available units then pass on the results to the FEMA housing activity upon their arrival. This activity will significantly reduce the time victims spend in the shelters and greatly contribute toward their recovery. Additionally, by being proactive, should the President not “Declare a Disaster”, the Collier County community would solely need to deal with the housing issue whereby it would greatly assist the victims for Government to direct the public to available housing; and, possibly local sources to assist the victims. 5. Emergency/Disaster Support Activities other than Public Assistance or Individuals & Household Programs. a. Unmet Needs Coordination Collier Organizations Active in Disasters (COAD) meets as an Unmet Needs committee to deal with the essential needs of the victims and to coordinate donated goods and services. A Volunteer Center and Disaster Assistance Centers may be established in the county to help support unmet needs coordination operations (See Appendix 1, ESFs 6 & 15). (1) Lead Person for Coordinating Volunteer Agencies Locally: The Human Services Program Manager with CCEM has lead Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 72 responsibility for coordinating unmet needs agencies in the event of an emergency. (2) Agency Responsible for Unmet Needs Coordination: Collier County Emergency Management will support the coordination of the unmet needs. (3) Role & Responsibility for Unmet Needs Coordinator: The Human Services Program Manager is responsible for the oversight and coordination of Human needs agencies and their points of contact in the event of an emergency. (4) The Criteria for Coordination with Municipalities: Either a declared or undeclared emergency that requires a response to the community’s needs that have not been met through either individual or municipal planning. (5) Groups that May Be Used to Comprise Unmet Needs Committee and Support the Community Relations Programs: Agencies that coordinate the skills of volunteers are utilized during an emergency. The agencies come together as COAD during the crisis and will disperse to non-emergency response status once the needs are resolved. These agencies are: 1. Community Foundation 2. Catholic Charities 3. Goodlette Arms 4. CC Domestic Animal Services 5. CC Parks & Recreation 6. American Red Cross 7. Moorings Presbyterian Church 8. Pace Center 9. Harry Chapin Food Bank 10. CC Sheriff’s Office 11. The Salvation Army 12. Naples Community Hospital Blood Bank 13. CC Housing, Human and Veteran Services 14. The United Way 15. Emmanuel Lutheran Church 16. North Collier Fire District 17. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church 18. Florida Department of Health - Collier 19. Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) (6) Process for Identifying Local Unmet Needs and the Process to Address Them: Generally, agencies (both nonprofit and profit) will notify the CCEM of the needs of the communities which they canvas. CCEM has a cooperative relationship with a multitude of field agencies in both emergency and non- emergency times. During a major disaster operation FEMA will field Community Relations teams and Collier County, along with Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 73 the American Red Cross, will field damage assessment teams to get a sense of the community’s needs. Emphasis areas for the teams will be: 1. Areas of the greatest disaster impact 2. Isolated and rural areas 3. Low economic areas 4. Elderly, special needs and socially isolated individuals (7) Training: In addition to Figure 16, Recommended Training, training and seminars are available through several resources. Local businesses that specialize in home-care offer classes; seminars are given CCEM staff; training is offered through CCEM for weather emergencies; appropriate agencies provide clear directives on home-care and debris removal. When appropriate training opportunities are known to the Emergency Management Division, the Unmet Needs/COAD coordinator will advise the appropriate volunteer groups. b. Emergency assistance may be provided through other State programs such as: Small Cities Community Development Block Grant. Community Services Block Grant. Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Low-Income Emergency Home Repair Program. Home Investment Partnership Program. State Housing Initiative Partnership Program. 6. Collier County Disaster Recovery Task Force has two major hazard mitigation responsibilities: Development and implement a redevelopment plan for hazard prone areas that would minimize repeated exposure to life-threatening situations; and Implementation of an acquisition program to acquire storm damaged property in hazard prone areas The following strategies should be included in the recovery, reconstruction and mitigation ordinance: Essential Service and Facility Restoration Priorities; Post Disaster Debris Clearance and Disposal Strategies; Determination of Damage, Build Back Policy; Emergency Repairs; Emergency Permitting System and Emergency Review Board; Economic Development Policies; Redevelopment in High Hazard Areas; Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 74 Guidelines for Acquiring Damaged Property Collier County Floodplain Management Plan Emergency Support Function 5, Planning & Intelligence, is the section responsible for the initial recovery component to disaster operations and works closely with the Recovery Task Force/Recovery Manager until those operations are moved outside the Emergency Operations Center. Its responsibilities include: Review damage reports, Address restoration issues, Identify mitigation opportunities, Hazard mitigation projects, 7. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) The three municipalities as well as unincorporated Collier County participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). All jurisdictions (except Everglades City) participate in the NFIP Community Rating System. Collier County will coordinate its Recovery Operations closely to insure that policies, procedures and public information pertaining to the NFIP/CRS are available to the community in a consistent and convenient manner. G. Mitigation 1. Collier County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) a. Collier County has a State & FEMA-approved Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) which expires on 13 April 2020. The most current copy of the Collier County LMS can be found on the internet at the following URL: http://bit.ly/2aNpoIc . The Collier County Emergency Management Division’s planning coordinator is responsible for coordinating mitigation activities with the LMS Working Group, maintaining the web pages associated with the LMS and LMS meeting activities, acting as staff to the LMS Working Group Chair by taking meeting minutes, making public meeting announcements and arranging the LMS Working Group meeting location. A major parts of the LMS Working Group activities deals with the flood and wildfire hazards. The emergency management staff facilitates the flood warning program for the county’s floodplain managers as well as collects information on any and all weather related damages. Emergency management also works with the Florida Forest Service and independent fire districts in looking for ways to mitigate the wildfire threat. b. The Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group is composed of members drawn from county and municipal governments as well as from interested citizens from around Collier County and formed under the Collier County Citizen Corps. Since the three Floodplain Managers regularly report out to the working group activities related to their respective floodplains. The purpose of the Working Group is to identify Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 75 new mitigation opportunities, techniques and, if necessary, reprioritize existing mitigation projects. This group meets at least annually and after every disaster event that causes significant damages to infrastructure. Go to the following URL to get information about the next meeting: http://bit.ly/2dp3ZRQ . This group is responsible for maintaining the Collier County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy (http://bit.ly/2aNpoIc ). 2. Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team (Post-Disaster) Mitigation Planning Assumption: Damaged facilities should have mitigation measures considered in its repair (406 program). All other mitigation measures to non-damaged structures should be addressed through the procedures address within the Collier County Local Mitigation Strategy. The Collier County Emergency Management Director will serve as the Post- Disaster Hazard Mitigation Coordinator. ESF 5 is required to provide assistance in the establishment and coordination of State/Federal hazard mitigation efforts, including performance of hazard mitigation projects or programs to reduce the community’s hurricane susceptibility and vulnerability. An Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team comprised of federal, state and local agencies that were impacted by the disaster will need to identify failures and recommend mitigation activities that would prevent a recurrence. Representatives from the municipalities as well as the County will be asked to participate on the IHMT. Due to the nature of the disaster, the amount of people and equipment will vary. Equipment and vehicles necessary to perform mitigation assessment will come from the affected jurisdiction. Should additional personnel or items become necessary to complete this mission; the EOC Operations Officer will task the EOC staff. Staffs who participate in the mitigation assessment opportunities should complete mitigation training identified in Figure 16, above. The vast majority of unincorporated Collier County residential structures are at or above the 100-year flood plain; repetitive losses from flooding are virtually nonexistent. Potential applicants for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Programs will be notified via press releases, e-mail and/or facsimile. Agencies from County, Municipal, Community Development Districts, Special Taxing Districts, Indian tribes and Not-for-Profit organizations with a public safety role are included on the notification list. Post-disaster mitigation activities within Collier County require a well- orchestrated and coordinated effort among the various levels of governments. Under the Federal Response Framework, a Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for Mitigation will be appointed for each Presidential Declared disaster. The Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for Mitigation will have a staff composed of hazard mitigation and flood plain management specialists. One of the major tasks assigned to the Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for Mitigation is to assure that mitigation disaster operations are integrated and unified with the State and local recovery efforts. The State Mitigation Officer, working under the direction of the Deputy State Coordinating Officer for Recovery should work in Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 76 concert with the Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for Mitigation to assure that the State is aware of and takes advantage of all available mitigation opportunities. a. Post-Disaster Mitigation (1) Mitigation Preliminary Damage Assessment – The Collier County Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team may request from the State Mitigation Officer to assign mitigation personnel to assist the community in conducting a Mitigation Preliminary Damage Assessment. The purpose of the Mitigation Preliminary Damage Assessment is to identify the causes of specific disaster related damage in order to determine the appropriate mitigation measures. This assessment is forwarded to the appropriate Local Mitigation Strategy committee and the mitigation staff in the Disaster Field Office. (2) Mitigation Assessment Report - The State Mitigation Officer coordinates with the Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for Mitigation to develop a mitigation assessment report which identifies appropriate mitigation measures and highlights the mitigation priorities as determined by the local mitigation strategies in the affected counties. These priorities and measures then guide the use of State and federal funds for mitigation purposes. The Report is also the appropriate plan to identify any recommended changes to the State Hazard Mitigation Plan based on lessons learned from the disaster. (3) Post-disaster Mitigation Technical Assistance – The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is a federally sponsored program administered by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Bureau of Recovery and Mitigation. The program provides State funds equal to 20 percent of the total federal disaster expenditures in the aftermath of a Presidential Declared disaster. These funds have a 25 percent nonfederal match requirement, and are distributed as grants to the communities affected by the disaster to implement the mitigation projects identified in the local mitigation strategy. (4) Coordinate with the Deputy State Coordinating Officer and the State Recovery Officer to assure that the mitigation opportunities provided under the Individual Assistance Minimization Program are realized. The Minimization Program is designed to fund low cost activities that can be used to reduce future disaster losses to a residential structure. The Minimization Program offers grants to eligible homeowners based on 25 percent of the total Individual and Family Grant award received by the homeowner, for a maximum award of $5,000. (5) The Flood Mitigation Assistance Program - The Florida Division of Emergency Management, Bureau of Recovery and Mitigation Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 77 manages the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program. This program makes federal funds available pre-disaster to fund mitigation projects in communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program. These funds have a 25 percent non-federal match requirement. The overall goal of the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program is to fund cost effective measures that reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to National Flood Insurance Program insurable structures. This is accomplished through the reduction of the number of repetitively or substantially damaged structures. b. Public Assistance Program This Program assures that the mitigation opportunities provided under Section 404 of the Stafford Act is realized. Also, Section 406 of the Stafford Act provides for direct federal assistance for repairs and improvements to eligible damaged public facilities. Mitigation measures (improvements) must be identified in the Project Worksheets. The award of Section 406 hazard mitigation projects is at the discretion of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Regional Director. The State Mitigation Officer will designate staff to support mitigation outreach at established Disaster Recovery Centers, and at Reconstruction Information Center Centers. The State Mitigation Officer will designate staff to assist communities in completing their mitigation Preliminary Damage Assessment reviewing and updating local mitigation strategies, identifying mitigation success stories, and potential mitigation grand fund projects. Section 404 monies (competitive grant hazard mitigation monies) can only be spent on projects contained in the Collier County Local Mitigation Strategy. c. Long Term Redevelopment Activities The State of Florida administers a variety of programs that support pre- disaster, post-disaster, and mitigation activities. These programs include, but are not limited to a residential construction mitigation program and a resource identification strategy. These programs are designed to help minimize the impact of disasters and to address local unmet needs identified after a disaster. H. Mobilization/Deployment of County Resources As a signatory to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, signatory governments may be asked to deploy resources to other counties affected by a disaster. Collier County Emergency Management Division acts as the local broker for mutual aid activities for Collier County. All requests for assistance should be coordinated through the Collier County Emergency Management Division/ESF-5. Human Resource agencies of the potential Assisting Parties should screen potential deployment candidates for suitability, e.g., emergency contact information, health, immunization currency, financial details for family remaining behind. 1. Requesting Party responsibilities include: Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 78 a. A description of the type assistance needed. b. A description of the types of personnel, equipment, services and supplies needed. c. The place, date, and time for personnel of the requesting party to meet and receive personnel and equipment. d. A technical description of any communications or telecommunications equipment needed. e. Emergency contact names and telephone numbers for assisting personnel to provide their supervisors. 2. Assisting Party Responsibilities include: a. A description of the personnel, equipment, supplies and services it has available, together with a description of the qualifications of any skilled personnel. (Note: Personnel and equipment assigned to deploy must be trained/credentialed according to the standards established by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Integration Center.) b. An estimate of the time such personnel, equipment, supplies and services will continue to be available. c. An estimated cost for the assistance requested. d. An estimate of the time it will take to deliver such personnel, equipment, supplies and services at the date, time and place specified. e. Self-Sufficiency. Those deploying to a catastrophic/major disaster area should have sufficient equipment and supplies to make them self- sufficient for food, shelter and operations unless the Requesting Party specifies otherwise. For minor disasters, the Requesting Party is required to provide food and shelter to the Assisting Party. f. A technical description of the communications and telecommunications equipment. g. Submission of a bill for assistance within 30 days after the period of assistance closes. V. Financial Management A. Administrative Authorities and Fiscal Guides Collier County fiscal management is consistent with the following: Chapter 252, F.S.; Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 79 44 CFR; 29 CFR; OMB A-87; "The State of Florida Resource and Financial Management Policy and Procedures," February 1, 1996. B. Resource Procurement and Reimbursement Use of Local Firms and Individuals. In the expenditure of Federal funds for debris clearance, distribution of supplies and other major disaster or emergency assistance activities which are carried out by private firms, preference will be given to individuals or companies that reside or do business in the affected area, to the maximum extent possible. (IAW 42 U.S. Code § 5150 - Use of local firms and individuals). When major disaster assistance activities are carried out by private firms or individuals, preference will be given to individuals or companies that reside or do business primarily in the area affected by the disaster (PL 100.707, Paragraph 206.10 and Section 252.46, Florida Statutes.) Emergency use of resources and capabilities of the private sector will be pre-arranged through agreements to the maximum extent possible. Agreements shall be in writing and shall be entered into by duly appointed officials. Agreements between elements of the same level of government will be included as part of the plans of the government. Unless otherwise provided, agreements remain in effect until rescinded or modified. Annual updates should be conducted. A clear statement of agreement regarding payment or reimbursement for services rendered is necessary. Procurement of goods and services must meet all the requirements of established state and local procurement rules and regulations. See Appendix 1 to Basic, ESF 7 for additional information. C. Reporting Tasks and Established Deadlines Disaster assistance grants are governed by time limits under 44 CFR, Part 206, and can be extended until the work is completed. D. Records Maintenance Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 80 1. Local Accounting Each subdivision may allocate and expend funds as appropriate for local emergency operations. Complete, accurate accounts of emergency expenditures and obligations, including personnel and equipment costs, must be maintained. For the ease of capturing response and recovery expenditures, a separate disaster- related coding system should be used or use the forms found in Appendix 2 to Basic Plan includes personnel, materials, equipment, contract and mileage. Despite the difficulty in maintaining such records in the stress of an emergency, agencies are required to identify and document: Funds for which no federal reimbursement will be requested should a declaration be made and, Funds eligible for reimbursement under emergency or major disaster project applications. 2. Reports and Records - General When federal public assistance is provided under the Disaster Relief Act, local projects approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency are subject to both state and federal audit. (Public Law 100-707, paragraph 206.16) During any emergency activity, the maintenance of accurate records is essential. Suspense dates and formats for reports will be in accordance with emergency reporting and preliminary damage assessment protocols and procedures. The Emergency Management Division shall be the central collection agency for logs and reporting information from all county agencies, as well as the Everglades City and Cities of Marco Island and Naples, associated with any given emergency. County and municipal governments, to record accurately and account for activities during an emergency, should keep the following records, at a minimum: Record of expenditures and obligations; Log of actions taken; Recordings of satellite communications (EMNet) message traffic; Historical records of declarations, newly created ordinances and any special actions taken to deal with the emergency. Copy of the State’s “Tracker Message”, and number, to validate an authenticated and approved request. 3. Emergency Reporting Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 81 Emergency reports such as preliminary damage assessment reports are the necessary basis for the Governor's decision to declare a state of disaster emergency and to request a Presidential emergency or disaster declaration. Updates giving new developments and more complete information will be forwarded in the most expeditious manner available, e.g., facsimile, EMNet, INTERNET, “EM Constellation”, etc. ). 4. After-Action Reports The Emergency Management Director will provide reporting requirements and suspense dates. Normally a critique and after action report will be completed within two weeks following the emergency or disaster and can be expected to address evaluations of: warning system effectiveness, practical application of emergency plans, communication effectiveness, coordination with adjoining counties and the State Division of Emergency Management, and the effectiveness of mutual aid agreements. VI. Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) Continuity of Operations (COOP) is a process within individual departments and agencies to ensure the continued performance of minimum essential functions during a wide range of potential emergencies. This is accomplished through the development of plans, comprehensive guidelines, and provisions for alternate facilities, personnel, resources, interoperable communications, and vital records/ databases. The planning effort should consider essential activities that need to be up within each of the following scenario timeframes: 24-hours, seven days and 30-days. Continuity of Government is an essential function of emergency management and is vital during an emergency/disaster situation. Continuity of Government is defined as the preservation, maintenance, or reconstitution of the civil government's ability to carry out its constitutional responsibilities. A. Mission Essential Functions A disaster can affect public service activities in various ways. Equipment may be lost or destroyed, sufficient numbers of people needed to deliver a service may be deficient, supplies to meet the needs of the victims and residents may be lacking. Yet, disaster- affected and unaffected residents expect services to be delivered in an efficient and effective way. Essential Program Functions are activities that enable an agency, department, organization or individual to carry out emergency response actions, provide vital services, protect the safety and well-being of the citizens of the jurisdiction, and maintain the economic base of the jurisdiction. The following have been determined to be the Essential Program Functions for the Collier County Emergency Management Program: Law Enforcement – CCSO Fire Rescue/Public Services – CCFCA Infrastructure – PUD Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 82 Recovery – GMD Health and Medical – DOH-Collier Emergency Management – CCEM Human Services – CCEM Information Technology – ASD 1. Each agency/activity governed by this CEMP should analyze its functions and rank-order the services/activities from the most to the least critical. The results of this process/exercise can be contained in a departmental/divisional standard operating procedure (SOP). A listing of each activity’s Mission Essential Functions and the status of each will be provided to the Recovery Task Force, via ESF 5, upon request. 2. ESF 5 will compile the governmental activity status listing and provide it to the Recovery Task Force with impact assessments and recommendations. 3. The Recovery Task Force will validate the level of service available to the community and/or shift resources to meet the service level expectations. B. Plans and Procedures A time-phased concept of operations to direct relocation of rostered personnel and resources to an alternate facility, along with the necessary support documentation should be developed and maintained by each activity. C. Delegation of Authority Each agency chief should establish, in writing, the delegations of authority and lines of succession within the agencies when under a Local State of Emergency Declaration and other circumstances. This can be done through a standing agency SOG or letter. D. Orders of Succession The succession of authority in Collier County begins with a quorum of the Board of County Commissioners. The succession transfers from the quorum to the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, or the Vice-Chairman in his absence, or other Commissioner by seniority order in the Chair or Vice Chair’s absence, or the County Manager in their absence, or the Clerk of the Court in his absence, or the Deputy County Manager in his absence. Each agency, in turn, should publish an internal order of succession letter that address three levels below the manager. E. Alternate Facilities Each activity should identify and pre-plan for using an alternate facility capable of supporting operations for 30 days. This plan should include identifying the infrastructure for relocation of essential staff. This information should be maintained in an organizational SOG. F. Interoperable Communications Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 83 1. The Emergency Management Office ultimately possesses redundant and robust internal and external communications capability. Additionally, during a major emergency this office can supply emergency amateur radio operators with their equipment. 2. Administrative Services Department Administrator will develop a plan that prioritizes restoration of communications. This plan should be updated and validated annually. 3. Each activity should conduct an inventory of its communications assets and determine minimum mission essential levels. G. Vital Records and Databases Most vital records in the Collier County Government Center are located in buildings with first floor elevations higher than a Category 3 land falling storm. Additionally, all municipal government centers are within a Category 1 surge zone. All agencies should regularly review various methods to protect vital records based on the associated hazard. 1. All county agencies must ensure the protection of their records so that normal procedures may continue after the disaster. Departments within the Administrative Services Department will assist activities in identifying way and means to best safeguard digital records. 2. Damage to records is most often the result of fire and/or water damage. Damaged records can often be saved by prompt salvage action. Technical guidance for records salvage operations may be obtained from the State Division of Emergency Management or the Collier County Emergency Management Division. 3. Vital records that establish or protect the rights of citizens and government are divided into two categories: Category A: Records needed for the emergency operation of government during a disaster; and Category B: Records needed for the re-establishment or continuity of normal governmental functions after the disaster event is over. 4. Agencies directly under the Board of County Commissioners are required to protect records under criteria previously established. Agencies that are not under the Board of County Commissioners are encouraged to use the criteria as guidance in their records preservation programs. H. Personnel Issues & Coordination To have a successful COOP/COG planning effort, each agency needs to address internal personnel issues that could affect your plan. Insure you address timing for employees to take care of personal matters while assuring the operation maintains a minimal acceptable level of performance. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Basic - 84 I. Logistics & Administration Because your plans are developed to continue operations to deliver services to the public, etc., your planning effort should be detailed enough to determine what needs to be packed and moved to who will move the assets. The range of contingency planning should go from identifying what needs to be moved and set up at the alternate location to having to accomplish all the labor with only those resources your department possesses. J. Security Depending on the emergency that warrants implementation of the COOP/COG plans, various levels of security should be factored in the planning process: from physical security of the facility for the activities you plan to accomplish to cyber security of the vital records you deal with. K. Test, Training & Equipment To make the Continuity of Operations and Continuity of Government Plans viable, all employees need to be trained regularly on various elements of the plans in order to make sure all are aware of their roles and responsibilities as well as validate the currency of plans and procedures. See Section IV, D (Preparedness) for information on training and exercise opportunities. L. Emergency Actions The Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan assigns lead and support responsibilities to County agencies and personnel for emergency support functions and other support activities. Specific emergency delegations are contained in this plan. The head of each tasked organization shall identify a person as the emergency coordination officer (ECO) for that agency to the Collier County Emergency Management Office. The ECO is responsible for coordinating with the Emergency Management Office on emergency preparedness issues, preparing and maintaining emergency preparedness and post disaster response and recovery plans for such agency, maintaining rosters of personnel to assist in disaster operations, and coordinating appropriate training for agency personnel.

The basic human services needs include: temporary shelter, feeding, first aid, clothing, disaster welfare information, and transition from pre- disaster response to post-disaster recovery. POLICIES 1. Shelters shall be managed in accordance with ARC 3031, “Mass Care - Preparedness and Operations” Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 6 - Page 2 (April 1987), regardless of whether they are County operated shelters or ARC designated shelters. 2. The Salvation Army Standard Operating Procedures and Food Protocols shall serve as the standard protocols for comfort stations and mass feeding sites. 3. The Emergency Management Division, in consultation with the Board of County Commissioners, Sheriff’s Office and on-scene Incident Commander will make determinations as to which populations need to be evacuated and when provisions for mass care will be provided. 4. Special Needs Shelters will be managed and staffed in accordance with the recommendations of the Collier County Special Needs Task Force, as described in the County’s “Special Needs Shelter Manual” (April 1997). The manual is incorporated into this plan by reference. 5. The Collier County “Inclement Weather Sheltering Policy” incorporated in this plan by reference, shall serve as guidance for inclement weather shelter operations. 6. Generally speaking, Points of Distribution (POD) sites will not be established with five miles of an operating main food store chain. At these POD sites, commodities for public distribution will vary based on the effects of a particular disaster event, e.g., ice, water, roofing tarps, food, etc. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS Comfort Stations are designed to support existing services lost or overwhelmed due to disaster: feeding, temporary refuge (respite), information, first aid, crisis counseling, social service assistance and showers. Points of Distribution are sites established near disaster impacted areas whereby people can drive through the location in order to receive emergency essential items such as: ice, water, food, tarps, etc. Additionally, this appendix addresses the strategy use d by Collier County to facilitate meeting the short-term and long-term housing needs of disaster victims. ORGANIZATION In the Incident Management System, ESF 6 is a function in the Human Services Branch and reports through the Operations Section, Response Unit. RESPONSIBILITIES The Emergency Management Director and Collier County Public Schools Representative, in coordination with the superintendent, will determine which facilities are to be used as shelters and the time of shelter opening. The school representative will alert school staff, ARC and or Collier County Emergency Management designee will alert shelter managers. The Emergency Management Division will contact law- enforcement for security, ARASWF for communications and EMS for basic medical support at each shelter. Shelter openings and times will be disseminated to local media. 1. Maintain current listing of shelter sites and up-to-date comfort site resource lists. 2. Open and operate shelters (evacuation centers) and feeding centers for people who must evacuate due to a disaster or potential threat. 3. Make provisions for temporary housing for people whose homes are uninhabitable after the disaster. (See Attachment 1 to this Appendix for the Temporary Housing Strategy) Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 6 - Page 3 4. Provide food and water to the evacuation centers, disaster relief centers and other established feeding sites. (See Attachment 2 to this Appendix for the Points of Distribution & Staging Area Strategy.) 5. Provide comfort items and services to people affected by or responding to the disaster, including social service assistance and mental health services. 6. Provide centralized registration and inquiry service on evacuees. ACTIONS Preparedness 1. Commence coordination of the emergency public sheltering plan (i.e., transportation, designation, staffing, equipment, and supplies). 2. Determine need for portable toilets to be delivered to shelter locations. 3. Activate Emergency Worker Family Shelter(s). Response 1. Evaluate the status and conditions of the evacuation centers to determine which centers should remain open. Continue phasing of emergency public shelter openings and placement of shelter signs. 2. Monitor shelter conditions and correct any deficiencies. 3. Determine long-term relief service or Human Service delivery needs (i.e., information and referral, housing, health care, transportation, chores for elderly/disabled). 4. Establish Community Assessment Teams to survey those persons who sheltered in place. 5. Establish Human Services Teams to survey elders who sheltered in place as to their general welfare and needs. 6. If necessary, establish information and referral desk at Disaster Recovery Information Center(s). 7. Establish a mechanism for delivery of food and water, clean up kits and other supplies as determined for individuals who cannot access them in the community. 8. Coordinate and establish a mechanism for delivery of food and water, clean up kits, and other supplies through existing delivery systems for the elderly. 9. Based on information received from damage assessment teams determine if additional mass care services are needed and in which communities. 10. Mass feeding sites: Guadalupe Center, Immokalee; St. Matthew’s House and Immokalee Friendship House 11.

Both short term and long term housing needs will be addressed. BACKGROUND: Hurricane Wilma (2005) demonstrated the need to have options developed prior to a disaster event to meet the housing needs of the displaced residents of Collier County. DEFINITIONS: Short-term Housing Assistance/Emergency Housing: Housing assistance for up to 30 days to meet immediate post-disaster housing needs. Long-term Housing Assistance: Temporary housing assistance for up to 18 month, unless extended by FEMA. Comfort Stations: These resources are provided by the State to establish a communal-type service in a neighborhood in order to allow people back into their homes while addressing basic health and safety needs, e.g., showers, waste, feeding, first aid, etc. GOALS: Get people back into their homes. o Through rapid habitability assessments o Through installation of Comfort Stations Identify retail temporary housing sites on the economy, e.g., apartments, hotels/motels, etc. Provide communal housing facilities using government or private-non-profit facilities. Smooth the process of permitting and temporary zoning waivers, etc., to accommodate the prompt placement of mobile homes and travel trailers. Last resort; identify potential lands that could be used by FEMA for temporary mobile home communities or group sites for displaced disaster victims. (NOTE: May require private/public partnerships in order to accomplish this mission.) ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: In order for this strategy to be successful, initial roles and responsibilities need to be embraced by those tasked. Emergency Management Division will maintain this strategy. Director of Community and Human Services has the primary leadership role for emergency, temporary and long-term housing following a disaster. American Red Cross will mainly be responsible for administering short-term housing as it relates to shelters. Collier County Parks & Recreation Division will provide the “bridge” between short-term and long-term housing using recreation center facilities should no other short-term housing assistance be readily available. Tourism Development Council (TDC) will maintain contacts with the hotel-motel industry for room availability. Growth Management Department will report on the status of HUD housing availability, home & apartment-rental availability, travel trailer/mobile home pad site availability, provide habitability Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 6 - Page 6 assessment services for any dwelling unit or structure identified for disaster housing use and provide land use verification for potential housing missions to include zoning restrictions and elevation determinations. SHORT-TERM & EMERGENCY HOUSING: Immediately after the disaster event passes, initial damage assessment and habitability assessment teams will blanket the community to assess the impact and potential housing needs. While this is occurring, shelters (Collier District Schools) will begin the process of closing and the EOC will begin the process of identifying & opening community shelters for those unable to return to their homes because they are neither safe, sanitary nor secure. The EOC will identify potential communities that can benefit by having Comfort Stations and initiate the process with the State to bring them to those areas. Tourism Department will prepare a listing of hotel/motel room availability and furnish it to the State/FEMA Housing Officer. GMD will identify potential home and apartment rental leads to the State/FEMA Housing Officer. LONG-TERM HOUSING: While short-term housing operations are occurring, long-term housing options begin. State/FEMA Housing officers, with the help of the appropriate GMD departments, will facilitate placing people in leased accommodations within the community. GMD will facilitate the legal requirements to allow travel trailers to be temporarily placed within housing communities while repairs to the permanent homes occur. GMD will help State/FEMA Housing officers identify sites for placement of mobile homes (individual lots and/or open lands for new temporary mobile home communities) Note: Initial Staging Area(s) for travel trailers/mobile homes: The potential areas that have been identified for the drop-off area of disaster housing units are: Collier County Fair Grounds Immokalee Airport Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 6 - Page 7 Points of Distribution & County Staging Area Strategy Attachment 2 PURPOSE: Develop a strategy identify Points of Distribution (POD) sites and Logistical Staging Areas around the county as well as to determine the resources required to activate them. BACKGROUND: Hurricane Wilma (2005) demonstrated the need to identify and activate an initial single large, survivable site in the county to receive State/FEMA-delivered food, water ice, etc., items for distribution to the public. Then to break down those supplies and distribute them to the impacted areas while assessing which pre-sited PODs would be activated to best serve the affected communities. We found that by activating all PODs simultaneously, resources were spread too thinly; resources were sent to areas not needing the supplies and promises were broken; thereby almost causing a riotous situation. GOALS: Establish a county logistical staging area to receive emergency supplies and equipment. Establish a mobile emergency supply distribution capability for immediate safe response to impacted areas as soon as possible. Efficiently establish practical points of distribution (PODs) in an impacted community that will be of the greatest benefit to the most victims. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: In order for this strategy to be successful, initial roles and responsibilities need to be embraced by those tasked. Emergency Management Division will determine which PODs are activated and provide overall POD program management and supervision. Real Estate Services will make contacts & arrange leases and agreements. Parks & Recreation Division will plan for their Parks employees being available to distribute product to the disaster victims. They will be the lead agency for each POD. Code Enforcement Division will provide product distribution assistance to disaster victims under the direction of the Emergency Management Director, once the preliminary damage assessment tasks are complete, as determined by the Building Director or his/her designee. Human Resources Division will plan to identify employees to staff each POD 72-hours after the initial POD is activated. Collier County Sheriff will assist with traffic control and security at each POD and monitor crowd activities. Collier County Purchasing Division will arrange for contracts for material handling equipment and POD support items, e.g., lighting units, porta-potties, etc. Each city will plan to assume responsibility and staffing for their respective PODs should they require them beyond the initial 72-hour operation. Depending on the magnitude of the disaster, one (or two) main initial POD(s) will be established to receive State/Federal disaster relief essential supplies. The State will establish the initial POD with material handling equipment (MHE) and 20 Florida National Guard. They will be responsible for the POD in the initial 72-hours; then the County assumes responsibility for the POD. (NOTE: The State will not place a POD within 5 miles of an open major retailer supermarket or home improvement store.) Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 6 - Page 8 A listing of potential POD sites will be maintained in the Emergency Operations Center by ESF-5, Planning & Intelligence. The reason for this is: Advertisement for an operational POD will not occur until the site is ready for operation. The State Division of Emergency Management has a copy of the county’s potential POD listing. Initial Staging Area(s): We will attempt to task the Compassion Alliance to site-survey and provide the initial set-up guidance for each of the PODs. (Compassion Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to humanitarian aid for children at risk, the needy and poor worldwide.) We will use the “State’s County Point of Distribution Model” as a guideline to staff, organize and equip local PODs. Depending on how a disaster impacts a community, the EOC will deploy mobile units to distribute essential supplies, e.g., water, ice & food, etc., to impacted areas until a suitable POD can be established. Non – Governmental Organizations (NGO) wishing to participate in bulk distribution of essential supplies will coordinate their activities with the EOC, ESF-15, Volunteers and Donations, in order to pick up bulk items at the County Staging Area.

BACKGROUND: A variety of disasters have demonstrated the need to have people available to explain the emergency assistance available to disaster victims. DEFINITIONS: Mobile Disaster Recovery Centers (MDRC): They are RVs equipped with computers and satellite uplink capabilities. Designed as traveling disaster recovery centers, MDRCs can be centrally located in disaster areas. Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC): A fixed site, usually a community center, sited near the disaster areas equipped with phone services and fax services and staffed with representatives from federal, state and local agencies. SERVICES: Guidance regarding disaster recovery; Clarification of any written correspondence received; Housing Assistance and Rental Resource information; Answers to questions, resolution to problems and referrals to agencies that may provide further assistance; Status of applications being processed by FEMA; and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) program information. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: In order for this strategy to be successful, initial roles and responsibilities need to be embraced by those tasked. Emergency Management Division will make all “formal communications” with the SEOC via the EM Constellation program, e-mail or a phone call. Some of the activities initiated by the Emergency Management Department include: o Identify potential DRC sites to the SEOC, o Make the requests to the SEOC for DRCs, o Insure FEMA is provided a liaison for each DRC, o Coordinate local agency presence at each DRC from the follow agencies based upon the type needs anticipated: Collier County Community & Human Services American Red Cross Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 6 - Page 10 Project Hope Department of Children & Families Direct Assistance Group (I HOPE) o Advertise to the disaster victims the need to apply for assistance at (800) 621-FEMA (3362), TTY (800) 462-7585 or online at www.fema.gov before visiting an MDRC/DRC. o Based on the local services desired in the Disaster Recovery Center by the Emergency Management Director, personnel identified to fulfill those services will be contacted by phone, e-mail, or any other form of communication and given instructions to report to work by their host organizational representative in the EOC, per CMA 5900. Collier County Parks & Recreation Division will provide community centers to support DRC operations. Collier County Facilities Division will provide tables, chairs, set-up as required and requested by the County EOC. 1 August 2016 Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 7 - Page 1 ESF 7: RESOURCE SUPPORT AGENCIES RESPONSIBLE Collier County Administrative Services Department (Procurement Div.) Collier County Manager’s Office (Office of Management & Budget) Collier County Emergency Management Collier County Clerk of Courts (Finance Department) The Salvation Army Cities of Naples and Marco Islands Mutual Aid All jurisdictions that have entered into the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement PURPOSE Ensure that the needs of emergency responders and residents are prioritized so that additional resources can be located, secured, distributed and used in the most effective manner possible during response and recovery operations. POLICIES 1. Immediate survival needs of victims will be given the highest priority in resource allocation decision-making. 2. All emergency responders (county departments, municipalities, and private organizations) must use all of their own available and obtainable resources before requesting assistance from ESF 7. 3.

Purpose The purpose of this ESF is to coordinate Search and Rescue Operations and Resources during emergency response and recovery. ESF-9 will provide support to local governments and agencies and describe the use of resources in both Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Wildland, and Marine Search and Rescue (SAR) in response to municipal, local, state, and federal governments during a major emergency or disaster. Scope The search & rescue resources of the primary and support agencies listed under ESF-9 are utilized under any level of activation of the Collier County Emergency Operations Center. The available resources of ESF-9 include personnel, facilities, equipment, vehicles, and supplies. A list of available resources inventory is located at the headquarters of each of the support agencies. This document outlines the extent of activities conducted by lead and support agencies to provide and coordinate the search and rescue function during the response and recovery phases of a disaster. Appendix 1 to Basic 1 August 2016 ESF 9 - Page 2 This Annex would be activated for planned events [deemed by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a National Special Security Event (NSSE)]; major county disasters or complex incidents; major state-wide disasters; and terrorist attacks within the local community, county, or state. Wilderness SAR Search and Rescue teams are being frequently called to urban areas to search for missing and overdue children as well as altered mental status adults. Locating downed aircraft Extrication if necessary USAR Locating, accessing, stabilizing and removing victims trapped in collapsed structures and confined spaces. Marine SAR Locating boats which are lost at sea Assumptions & Considerations Assumptions & considerations include the following: a. A major disaster or catastrophic event may generate conditions (that vary widely in scope, urgency, and degree of devastation) that place a substantial number of people in life threatening situations requiring prompt rescue and protective actions. b. The incident or event is expected to go into multiple operational periods and exceeds capabilities of day-to-day resources of one or two agencies. c. The EOC Director has activated the ESF in support of managing the incident or event. POLICIES Priorities The assets available to ESF-9 will be used to support county emergency operations and other ESFs with their emergency efforts. The priorities for allocation of these assets will be: 1. To locations or events where there may be numerous trapped or vulnerable victims of the emergency who need immediate medical and rescue assistance. Structures that offer the highest chance of survivability (in terms of type of construction) and the number of potential victims (in terms of type of building occupancy and vulnerability to hazard affects) should receive priority. Examples of such structures could include hospitals or walk in clinics, shelters (schools, churches, hotels, etc.), mobile home parks, nursing home and independent living retirement centers, high-rise and multi-residential buildings, and office buildings. 2. Assisting in the evacuation of persons from immediate peril. 3. Responding to and implementing public safety and protective actions. Appendix 1 to Basic 1 August 2016 ESF 9 - Page 3 4. All operations will be conducted using the Incident Command System (ICS) or National Incident Management System (NIMS) with a Unified Command Structure being utilized whenever applicable. 5. Providing for the safety and health of all emergency personnel by providing logistical support, food/hydration, shelter and medical care. ESF-9 will interface with ESF-8, ESF-11 and ESF-15. Responsibilities Facilitating the ESF-9 Operation; 1. Maintaining contact with the Incident Command Post and maintaining situational awareness; 2. Collect data of current operations and provide that information to the Emergency Management Director; 3. Prioritize current incidents and determine potential resource needs; 4. Coordinating resources based upon priorities; 5. Receive, distribute, and evaluate resource requests. 6. Develop a list of current operational and resource status of all responding agencies; 7. Provide information and data for inclusion in situation reports. 8. Use information gathered from the community and other agencies to help identify on -going issues, problems, concerns, and threats. 9. Receive, distribute, and evaluate data on impacted areas. ESF-9 will assist with providing initial impact analysis information as quickly as possible. Aviation assets (fixed wing and rotary) utilizing video cameras will be the quickest way to identify the extent of storm damage over large areas. More localized information will come from fire and law enforcement reconnaissance teams. 10. Establish staging areas of mutual aid responders and deploy these teams as needed. 11. ESF-9 will interface with ESF 4, ESF-6 and ESF-8 to assist with medical treatment as needed. 12. ESF-9 will interface with the Medical Examiner for all fatalities. 13. Assist in the development of a de-mobilization plan. Response Requirements Federal and State assistance to this ESF will be provided under Public Law 93-288, and Florida Statute 252, and the Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. However, during the emergency response and for the first hours after the occurrence of catastrophic emergency there may be little or no assistance available. The primary and support agencies of the ESF must plan to be as self sufficient as feasible while awaiting state and/or federal assistance.

Each listed agency/department will be responsible for maintaining their appropriate standard operating procedures and protocols to ensure consistency with all applicable Federal/State/Local requirements. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS Assumptions that were considered in the development of the hazardous materials function. (i.e. capability limitations, resource shortfalls, use of mutual aid/outside resources and personnel, etc.). 1. For Board of County Commissioner (BCC) agencies ONLY: For those “small” or “limited” events (e.g. small localized fire, accident related fuel/chemical spills) the BCC relies on their internal Collier County Emergency Spill Response Procedure (ESRP), found in the Risk Management Division’s intranet SharePoint site, for those “small” or “limited” events until relieved by the outside lead agency. The Site-Specific Emergency Response Coordinators (SSERC) functions as the Incident Commander on hazardous materials incidents only where: The hazardous material is known and/or readily identifiable The spill/release is a reportable quantity that does not present a hazard to employees, the public and/or the environment and is easily contained by existing permanent containment structures The spill/release is a non-reportable quantity that does not present a hazard to employees, the public and/or the environment regardless of containment capabilities The spill/release is a non-reportable quantity and does not present a hazard to employees or the public but may present a hazard to the environment and where the material cannot be contained by existing permanent containment structures and a vendor(s) specializing in hazardous materials clean-up and disposal can mobilize on site within the determined time frame*. *It is possible that different materials would require different time frames for response and therefore a specific timeframe will not be represented here. 2. For those “major” events that require the activation of the EOC and ESF-10, and where County resources can adequately respond and remediate all reported hazardous material releases the Lead Agency, Supporting Agencies and Mutual Aid Agencies will work together to address public safety and environmental protection. 3. For those catastrophic events where County resources are limited, the County’s contactors will facilitate the clean-up operations; thereby freeing the local HAZMAT teams for newly created urgent situation. 4. For hazmat incidents affecting municipal facilities, the County may assist and coordinate responses if requested by the municipalities. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS 1. The on scene Incident Commander will determine if a Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Response Team needs to respond. 2. There are no fixed decontamination facilities that presently exist in Collier County; however, 1 August 2016 Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 10 - Page 3 portable capabilities are available through the Emergency Medical Service Division..

SCOPE To coordinate response/recovery efforts as related to volunteers (pre-assigned and convergent) and to assure the expeditious response/ recovery delivery of donated goods to the affected area within Collier County. ESF 15 - Volunteers and Donations will be composed of entities with major roles in coordination of volunteer efforts. The scopes of activities of ESF 15 include, but are not limited to: 1. Maintaining a volunteers and donations phone and data bank. 2. Assessing and prioritizing affected areas -unmet needs. 3. Deploying resources, both human and material, to meet specified needs. 4. Maintaining contact with the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) ESF 15. ASSUMPTIONS 1. Once emergency conditions subside, individuals and relief organizations from outside the disaster area will begin to collect materials and supplies to assist the devastated region. 2. Individuals and organizations will feel compelled to go to the area to offer assistance. 1 August 2016 Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 15 - Page 2 3. When disaster situations occur, a need for an organized response is imperative. 4. Local volunteer groups will experience a deficit in some, if not all, areas. This may necessitate State and possibly Federal assistance. 5. EOC command staff will make the initial identification of resource needs POLICIES 1. The resources available by the Volunteer and Donations functions will be utilized to assist organizations and individuals with unmet needs. Basic policies, which will determine the operational procedures, are: Determine the area with the greatest need. This will be based upon the needs assessment as provided through the initial and subsequent assessment team deployments as well as field reports from Collier County Emergency Management Division and will be compiled through the Planning Section. Priority for delivery of goods for basic needs; i.e., food, water, medical care, shelter. Distribution of public information regarding resources needed/not needed. Maintenance of a complete database to assure prompt allocation of available resources. Assumption that resources will be needed during a major event for at least six months. 2. The Emergency Management Division will coordinate activities of the Planning Section, with assistance from the Support agencies. 3. All personnel, technology, equipment, facilities, goods, services and cash received through donations from the community at large will be made available to support the response and recovery efforts of local government and private not for profit agencies. 4.

The ESF 15 plan is not meant to interfere with that process. 5. ESF 15 in concert with ESF 7 - Resource Support will contact authorized vendors to supply unmet needs. ESF 15 with the assistance of ESF 14 - Public Information will solicit support from volunteer groups to address unmet needs; this request will also be disseminated to all local media via media releases. 6. Donations will not be requested without first obtaining concurrence of ESF-15 leader. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS 1. General: The primary function of Volunteer and Donations is to expedite delivery of donated goods and services in order to meet the needs of the affected area. In all probability, the outpouring of goods and 1 August 2016 Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 15 - Page 3 services will not parallel Collier County's needs. Due to this inequity it is imperative that a defined tracking mechanism be implemented to facilitate the proper utilization of incoming goods and volunteers. The distribution of goods and volunteers will necessitate cooperation with all Support Functions including Law Enforcement (ESF 16), Transportation (ESF 1), Public Information (ESF 14), Resource Support (ESF 7), Mass Care/Human Services (ESF 6) as well as the municipal liaisons. Close coordination between regional recovery sites and other impacted counties will be of primary concern. 2.

The Pet Friendly Adjacency Shelter is considered to be activated whenever it is requested by the Director of Emergency Management via the County Manager. This activation would more than likely involve an imminent disaster and either a Federal, State, or Local Disaster Declaration. Assumptions: Collier County Domestic Animal Services will direct and control all activities related to animal protection and control during an emergency. Support agencies include the American Red Cross, Collier County Sheriff’s Office, Collier County Facilities Division, Collier County Parks and Recreation, and the Collier County Emergency Management Division. Any emergency resulting in evacuation of residents to a shelter will result in domestic animal issues. The protection of the domestic animals (licensed dog or cat) is the responsibility of the owner. The Pet Friendly shelter will be available for the first 72 hours, and then procedures will start for community re-entry. Standard Operating Procedures: Any time the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is placed in an elevated level of activation, Domestic Animal Services will be notified of a potential Pet Shelter activation. Concurrent notifications will also go out to Collier County Parks and Recreation, American Red Cross, Collier County Sheriff’s Office and Collier County Facilities Division. Once evacuation areas are established and traditional shelter selections are determined (no later than 48 hours notice whenever possible) DAS will be requested to fully activate their Pet Shelter at the North Collier Regional Park (NCRP). Evacuation Zone Sheltering: Although all County citizens are eligible to pre-register their pets, admittance in the designated shelter will depend on the area of evacuation determined by the Director of the Emergency Operations Center. Collier County will be broken down into grid areas and these designated areas will be communicated to all Collier County Citizens. Once the decision is made on what areas are to be evacuated, phone messages via the OneCall Now system will communicate to all pre-registered pet owners whether they are eligible for sheltering or not. Initial Notification Procedures from the EOC: It is the responsibility of the Emergency Operations Center, utilizing their Time Delineation Schedule to formally notify the Director of DAS of an impending disaster event and to remain on “Stand By” status until activation has been determined. At that time, the EOC will activate their pre-event Portable On Demand Storage Units (PODS) rental contract and have the necessary units deployed to the parking lot of the North Collier Regional Park Maintenance Facility. Furthermore, this is the time to contact Facilities Management to ensure a minimum of two (2) covered golf carts are deployed to the shelter and to Appendix 1 to Basic ESF 17 - Page 4 potentially access “Port O Potties” if needed. At this time, Facilities can determine the availability in utilizing Wackenhut for additional security and Golf Cart transport and to request trash dumpster. Once, Pet Shelter activation has been decided upon, the EOC will again notify the Director of DAS and it will be the responsibility of DAS to coordinate ancillary notifications to participating agencies. This notification will allow for a minimum of 48 hours notice to accomplish notifications and set up processes. Ensure that an up to date phone tree is available for government employees and volunteers.

Introduction A. General This annex establishes a framework through which Collier County may prevent or mitigate the impacts of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from non -flooding/tropical conditions that could adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of Collier County residents and guests This annex will also detail each weather hazard affecting Collier County and our response from the level of Emergency Operations Center activation perspective. B. Purpose & Scope 1. The purpose of this annex is to describe the unique response/recovery procedures from hazardous weather events. This annex describes the most frequent weather phenomena to affect Collier County. 2. The weather hazards addressed in this annex are: a. Extreme Cold/Freeze b. Thunderstorm/Lightning/Tornado c. Drought d. Tropical Storm/Hurricane (see Annex D, Hurricane Response, has greater detail.) C. Assumptions 1. Collier County will usually receive advanced warning about the onset of hazardous weather conditions; but, not necessarily the severity or impact location. However, when we receive hazardous weather information from the National Weather Service or the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Emergency Management Department will retransmit the information to both Weather Spotters, critical facilities and other governmental agencies. 2. The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will not be activated pre-event for most hazardous weather conditions, except for Tropical Storms & Hurricanes. 3. For Uninsured losses to Agri-Business, the Farm Service Agency, Clewiston (863-983-7250), maintains a database of those with uninsured crops and expects the farm owners to call them if they have losses and/or will contact them for information on potential losses. The Farm Service Agency will initiate any requests for financial assistance should it be warranted. Agri -Businesses will notify Univ. of Fla. Extension Services in Hendry County of losses (863 -983- 1598, Mr. Gene McAvoy). Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex A – Page 3 II. The Response Organization A. General 1. Most responses to weather events will be by on-duty forces. The response to a hazardous weather event will be dependent on reports from the public and governmental entities. 2.

Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex A – Page 5 III. Concept of Operation A. General When the EOC is activated, Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) will be organized and operate under the Incident Management System as outlined in the Basic Plan. This section will address unique activities corresponding to a particular hazardous weather event. B. Extreme Cold/Freeze Extreme cold and freezes are relatively infrequent events in Collier County. The main threats from these events are to lives/health of people with insufficient shelter and to agri - business industry. This part of the plan is implemented when temperatures are expected to drop below 40 degrees for at least two hours, factoring in the wind chill. No EOC activation anticipated. a. Level Three, Monitoring Phase, implemented. b. Emergency Management will monitor weather conditions, coordinate the opening of homeless shelters and disseminate the opening of shelter information to the media and other agencies. C. Thunderstorm/Lightning/Tornado 1. Severe thunderstorms, which have lightning and the potential for tornadoes, are frequent here in the summer and fall months. The EOC is not likely to be activated beyond a Level Three, unless an EF-1 tornado, or greater, occurs somewhere in Collier County resulting in loss of life and/or property. Then the EOC will be in a post-disaster type operation. The main activity for County Government is to maintain contact with the Weather Service Office, SkyWarn Spotters, etc., and disseminate weather warnings/updates via communication system addressed in Basic Plan. 2. Level Three, Monitoring Phase Emergency Management will monitor the storm system’s potential and disseminate the information to those most affected via means identified in the Basic Plan. 3. Level Two, Partial Activation a. Emergency Management will: (1) Based on the impact of the storm, may activate the Collier Emergency Information Hotline. (2) Provide on-going situation reporting to the State. (3) Maintain contact with the Weather Service and disseminate weather updates and other information to the media and public. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex A – Page 6 (4) Request shelter openings, as required. b. American Red Cross will: (1) Open shelters as requested. (2) Provide humanitarian services, as necessary. (3) Provide a liaison to the EOC, as requested. (4) Keep the Emergency Management office advised on the finding of the damage assessment. c. Growth Management Department (Traffic Operations) will: (1) Provide a liaison to the EOC, when requested. (2) Coordinate response activities from the EOC. d. Growth Management Department (Ops & Regulatory Mgmt.) will: (1) Provide a liaison to the EOC post-disaster impact. (2) Assume the Lead Agency responsibilities for damage assessment and Recovery Operations. e. Collier Sheriff will: (1) Provide liaison to EOC when requested. (2) Coordinate traffic activities f. Communication & Customer Relations Division will activate ESF-14 in the EOC when requested. 4. Level One, Full Activation This level of activation would occur if a catastrophic F-3 tornado, or greater, impacted lives and property within Collier. Should this, occur, all actions described in the Basic Plan will occur. D. Drought 1. Droughts in recent years mainly affect inland Collier County. Specifically, the main hazard is wells drying up. When this is the case, usually the well services are so far behind in drilling new wells that governmental intervention may be needed in order to keep people in their homes. An associated hazard with drought is sinkholes. No EOC activation is anticipated. 2. Level Three, Monitoring Phase Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex A – Page 7 a. Emergency Management Office will: (1) Monitor activities related to the drought, participate in conference calls with the State, and closely coordinate remedial activities, water rationing information dissemination, with the public. (2) Consider drafting a Local State of Emergency in order to help a community stay in their homes, versus needing to reside in a shelter due to the lack of water and/or septic system operation. b. Florida Department of Health - Collier may provide private well water testing when situation warrants. E. Tropical Storm/Hurricane 1. Because we are a coastal community, these storms have the greatest potential for loss of life and catastrophic property losses. For that reason the EOC will be activated to some level during the course of the threatening weather. A time delineating schedule (TDS) is developed for tropical weather systems affecting Collier County, maintained at the EOC. 2. Level Three, Monitoring Phase a. Once a tropical system directly threatens Florida, a series of activities occur consisting of conference calls, frequent public service announcements, etc. b. All governmental agencies should be reviewing their plans, stockpiling supplies, “topping off” their vehicles, etc. c. Office of Management & Budget will secure a “Project Number” for all disaster activities. 3. Level Two, Partial Activation a. For a tropical system directly affecting Collier County, this phase will be a short-lived transitory period because full activation will occur during completion of departmental TDS. Preparedness actions will be accelerated and emergency coordinating officers (ECOs) and other jurisdictional liaison officers will be establishing operations in the EOC. b. Emergency Management will be coordinating requirements to open shelters with ESFs 6, 14 and 16. c. Communication & Customer Relations Division will activate ESF-14 in the EOC. d. All governmental agencies should disperse their equipment out of harms way, dispatch liaisons to the EOC, when requested, and complete TDS. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex A – Page 8 4. Level One, Full Activation a. Between 48 and 36 hours before the CPA, evacuation decisions will be made. All of Collier County Government will be operating from the EOC. This phase will continue through the threat period into the beginning portion of Recovery operations, not going beyond two weeks. b. The County Manager, in consultation with the Constitutional officers, will decide on closing or limiting County business and/or services and recommend cancellation of other public social events. c. All Public Assistance Eligible Entities should compile and maintain all disaster response and recovery related paperwork, in case Collier receives a Presidential Disaster Declaration. d. All governmental agencies will disperse their equipment out of harms way, dispatch liaisons to the EOC and complete TDS. e. The Collier District School Board will decide when to close schools and be prepared to staff evacuation shelters not covered by the American Red Cross. f. The American Red Cross will coordinate operations in support of shelter openings and open shelters. g. Emergency Management will: (1) Recommend issuance of a Declaration of State of Local Emergency. (2) Initiate Special Needs evacuation operations. (3) Maintain dissemination of warning information and situation reporting to all. (4) Determine and coordinate area evacuation operations. (5) Coordinate recovery operations with the State. (6) For post-disaster operations, dispatch the Human Needs Assessment Teams to determine the disaster’s impact. h. Sheriff’s Office will: (1) Support shelter operations security. (2) Assist with evacuation operations, to include denying reentry to evacuation area(s). i. Growth Management Department (Traffic Operations) will: Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex A – Page 9 (1) Monitor traffic operations and take appropriate action to facilitate evacuation operations. (2) Coordinate closely with the Sheriff’s liaison and ESF-14 on the status of road capacities. j.

ANNEX MAINTENANCE AND IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES ....................................42 Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 2 FORWARD The communities of Collier County, Florida, like all communities in the state, are vulnerable to a terrorist or cyber terrorist attack. A terrorist attack could involve the use of a "weapon of mass destruction (WMD)" that would threaten lives, property, and environmental resources through physical destruction by explosions and resulting fires, and/or by contamination with chemical, biological, and/or radiological materials. A cyber terrorist attack could destroy or significantly disrupt vital computer networks, communications systems, and/or Internet services, interfering with provision of critical community services and thereby causing substantial human and economic impacts. The first responders in an actual or suspected terrorist event will be from local emergency services agencies and organizations. For this reason, Collier County and its cooperating municipalities have established and will maintain a comprehensive program to prepare for, respond to and manage the impacts of terrorist and cyber terrorist events. The program provides for: Continuing assessment of the community's vulnerability to terrorism, Planning and training to prepare for and respond to such events, Pre-deployment of specialized response capabilities, where needed, and Establishing the operational concepts to be utilized to manage an actual or suspected event. If needed, state and/or Federal assistance will be mobilized to support the local command structure. Collier County’s terrorism incident response program relies on the authorities, operational concepts, organizational responsibilities, and resources available through the County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). The terrorist incident response can be broken down into two parts: Crisis Management and Consequence Management. This public annex to the CEMP will only focus on the Consequence Management side of the terrorist incident response. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 3 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex (Consequence Management) establishes the operational concepts to be used by the emergency operations center to guide and manage the consequences of a terrorist incident. Additionally, this document provides for local agency participation of the escalation of the response to the incident to include state and Federal response organizations. The annex provides the guidance needed by support agencies in the event of a terrorist act occurring in or impacting Collier County. The emphasis of the annex is to guide the consequence activities conducted by the Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) established by the Collier County CEMP, and it is not intended to replace the field operations guides currently used by first responders. The Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex has been developed to be consistent with the operational concepts and organizational structure used in the Terrorism Incident Response Annex of the State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. It is also consistent with the concepts and structure to be used by Federal agencies responding to a terrorist event in Collier County. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 4 II.

Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 7 III. INTRODUCTION This annex to the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan guides the actions of local agencies and organizations to incidents known or suspected to be terrorist attacks. Terrorist incidents involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive materials (CBRNE) and cyber terrorism are considered technologically hazardous incidents by nature. Incidents that are believed to be a terrorist act will be treated as both a crime scene and as a hazardous materials incident with additional complicating factors, until additional information indicates otherwise. Regardless of the mechanism or motive behind the incident, this annex is focused on actions to reduce the impact of the event efficiently and safely. All responders will follow the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the safety guidelines established by their agencies and/or at the scene of the incident by the incident commander. Depending on the characteristics of the incident, the capabilities and resources of Collier County may quickly be exceeded. In anticipation of such circumstances, the State of Florida has established Regional Domestic Security Task Forces (RDSTF) that would be accessed by Collier County response organizations when necessary. This annex guides the actions of Collier County organizations when managing the consequences of a terrorist event with their own resources or when it is necessary to request assistance through the RDSTF. Each RDSTF consists of local representatives from disciplines involved in prevention and response, including: law enforcement, fire/rescue, emergency medical services, emergency management, hospitals, public health, schools and businesses. The RDSTFs work together with the Chief of Domestic Security, to prepare for, prevent, and respond to, terrorist events. General response operations necessary to prevent or mitigate the consequences of a terrorist event are established in Collier County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 8 IV. SITUATION The population, property and environmental resources of Collier County are vulnerable to a threatened or actual terrorist attack. A terrorist incident could result in the release of harmful chemical, biological or radiological materials, detonation of an explosive device, or disruption of services dependent of computers, telecommunications and the internet. Such an incident could impact any location within the county and have the potential to result in large numbers of fatalities, injuries, property damage and/or economic losses. It is also possible that valuable environmental/agricultural resources necessary for the county’s welfare could be rendered unusable through contamination or other forms of damage. Collier County and its municipalities continually conduct assessments of the current situation with regard to the potential for a terrorist event and the capabilities of local agencies to conduct initial response operations. This assessments are done in accord with State and Federal guidance, and, for confidentiality reasons, the results are not releasable. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 9 V. ASSUMPTIONS Development of the Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex has required that certain assumptions be utilized regarding the characteristics of a terrorist incident in the county. These are the following: a. The Terrorism Annex could be activated based solely on a Homeland Security National Terrorism Advisory, without any specific threat information for Collier County. b. Public safety agencies of Collier County and its municipalities will be the “first responders” to the scene of a terrorist incident or the locations in the county where the impacts of the event are experienced. c. A terrorist incident may be made readily apparent to the responding organizations by the characteristics of the impacts or a declaration on the part of the perpetrators, or may be very difficult to initially detect and identify because of uncertainty as to the cause or extent of the situation. d. The resources and/or expertise of local agencies in Collier County could quickly be depleted by a response to a major terrorist incident and its consequences. Extensive use of Area, State, and Federal resources and intrastate mutual aid agreements must therefore be anticipated. e. Specialized resources, as well as those normally utilized in disaster situations, will be needed to support the response to a terrorist incident. Such resources may not be located in Collier County, the FDLE Region or in the State of Florida. f. The Florida Department of Health will have a minimum of three Biosafety Level 3 laboratories available for analytical services to assist in the response to a terrorist event in Florida. g. Resources from local, state, and federal agencies, as well as from private organizations, will be made available on a timely basis upon request. h. All state and local response agencies and organizations will establish and participate in a unified command structure at or near the scene, and the Emergency Operations Center of Collier County will be activated and staffed (if indicated by the size or scope of the incident). i. Federal agencies with statutory authority for response to a terrorist incident, or for the geographic location in which it occurs or has impacted, will participate in and cooperate with the unified command structure established by response organizations from Collier County or the involved municipality. j. A terrorist event will result in the timely activation of the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, as well as those emergency plans and procedures of the involved municipalities. When needed, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) will activate the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), the Department of Homeland Security will activate the National Response Plan (NRP), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will activate the Federal Response Plan (FRP). k. Responding agencies of Collier County and its municipalities will have the supportive plans and procedures, as well as appropriately trained and equipped personnel that may be needed for the general response operations related to management of the terrorist incident. This annex assumes the resources and procedures for such related operations as hazardous material response, mass casualty incident management, law enforcement, search and rescue, and others will be in place to be utilized when needed during a terrorist incident. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 10 l. For terrorist events involving weapons of mass destruction, there may be a large number of casualties. Injured or ill victims will require specialized medical treatment, potentially including decontamination and medical facilities and may require establishing temporary medical operations in the field. Fatally injured victims may be numerous and their bodies contaminated or infectious. Special mortuary arrangements are likely to be necessary. m. Terrorist incidents may involve damage or disruption to computer systems, telecommunications networks, or Internet systems; disturbance to vital community networks for utilities, transportation, or communication; and/or could endanger the health and safety of the population at risk, interrupt emergency response operations, and result in substantial economic losses. n. There will be very extensive media interest in a terrorist event and media management operations will require resources beyond those needed for other types of emergency management operations. o. Collier County and its municipal jurisdictions have taken proper precautions such as implementing “firewalls” and password access to their computer systems and have implemented the same reporting mechanism that was used during Y2K for cyber incidents. p. County and municipal jurisdictions have the capability to implement response and recovery operations for computer networks and databases disrupted by a cyber terrorist incident. q. The Florida National Guard WMD Civil Support Teams are available 24 X 7 for deployment to actual/suspected WMD events in a local jurisdiction. Travel time to Collier County from approval of the request of the State is approximately six hours. r. Once notified of a suspected terrorist incident, the State Watch Office will make notifications specifically to the Florida Division of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). s. It is possible that the use of a weapon of mass destruction, such as a biological agent, could occur resulting in widespread illness, fatalities, or environmental contamination without a readily defined incident scene. In this case emergency operations at the local level would be coordinated through the local emergency operations center. Response operations such as mass casualty management, environmental decontamination, and public information would be provided on a region-wide basis, with coordination being done through the RDSTF and the State Emergency Operations Center. The State EOC and Department of Health will conduct cross regional coordination. Collier County EOC will remain operational if the State or Regional EOC is activated for a local or regional event. t. Receipt & distribution of Strategic National Stockpile will be in concert with current Department of Health policies. Health policies will be coordinated with the Collier County Emergency Management Division and the EOC. These assumptions form the framework within which the operational concepts of the Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex have been established. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 11 VI. PURPOSE The Terrorist Incident Response Annex to the Collier County CEMP defines the scope of a terrorist incident response operation conducted by county and/or municipal agencies. The annex establishes the policies, programs, and procedures that will be utilized by the county and municipal agencies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a threatened or actual emergency resulting from a terrorist act. It also defines the roles of the local agencies and organizations in the development, implementation, and maintenance of the annex. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 12 VII. SCOPE The scope of this annex is to guide the special or unique actions necessary to effectively and safely manage the local emergency response operations conducted by Collier County agencies. For other operations not necessarily unique to terrorist events, the Collier County CEMP and agency emergency plans and procedures would be utilized. During the first response to a known or suspected terrorist event, the following points are the main objectives for Collier County’s operations: 1. Protect the lives and safety of the citizens and first responders; 2. Ensure notifications to hospitals to assess their readiness; 3. Isolate, contain, and/or limit the spread of any released nuclear, biological, chemical, incendiary, or explosive devices, or the continuing spread of cyber terrorist agents; 4. Identify the type of agent/devices used; 5. Identify and establish control zones for the suspected agent used; 6. Ensure emergency responders properly follow protocol and have appropriate protective gear; 7. Identify the most appropriate decontamination and/or treatment for victims; 8. Establish victim services; 9. Notify emergency personnel, including medical facilities, of dangers and anticipated casualties and proper measures to be followed; 10. Notify appropriate State and Federal agencies; 11. Provide accurate and timely public information; 12. Preserve as much evidence as possible to aid in the investigation process; 13. Protect critical infrastructure; 14. Manage fatalities and the protection of remains; 15. Protect property and environment; 16. Securing resources through the Collier County EOC, Regional Domestic Security Task Force, State of Florida and the Federal Government. This annex also defines the role of the agencies and organizations of Collier County and its municipalities in accessing and securing resources through the RDSTF, the State of Florida and the Federal government. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 13 VIII. AUTHORITIES The authority for the development, implementation and maintenance of this annex is derived from the authority of the Florida Statutes, Section 252.38(1). Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 14 IX. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Overview The Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex (Consequence Management) incorporates the following fundamental operational concepts: Actions will be taken in accord in this annex during non-emergency times to prepare the county and municipal agencies and organizations for a more timely and effective response to terrorist incidents There will be a “tiered” field response to a known or suspected terrorist event, utilizing three levels of escalating resource commitment, as follows: Response and Command Structure and Support Unified Command The responding agencies will utilize existing agency procedures for control of field operations within the organizational structure established by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) When necessary, the Collier County Emergency Operations Center will be activated as the Area Command or Multi-Agency Coordination Center to provide leadership or additional support to responding field operations, hospitals and other facilities involved in management of the incident and care of its victims. Support operations from the EOC will be conducted by the designated Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) in accord with the Collier County CEMP and the provisions of this annex. For a major terrorist event, Collier County will anticipate requesting and receiving assistance through the RDSTF and the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, as well as from State and Federal agencies, using the request form found in Appendix 4. B. Detection, Notification and Classification of a Terrorist Event (1) Detection Detection of an actual, suspected or threatened terrorist or cyber terrorist incident may occur through a variety of mechanisms. In many cases, such detection most likely would be by county or municipal first responding units. Information regarding the event and its consequences would then be reported from the scene to the County Warning Point. Should detection of the event be from a telephone call or other communication threatening a terrorist action or declaring that one has occurred, the County Warning Point will utilize existing procedures to initiate an investigation and make appropriate notifications, as indicated below. Detection of a suspected terrorist event may be from a source other than the first arriving unit or a communicated threat or declaration, such as from monitoring of morbidity or mortality statistics in the county, reports from hospital emergency departments, laboratory results from incident victims or environmental sampling, etc. In such cases, the facility or individual recognizing the indications of a terrorist event would notify the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 15 County Warning Point, and follow-up notification would be made by the County Warning Point to the State Watch Office. Regardless of the method of detection of a known or suspected terrorist event, within the meaning of this annex, the Collier County Warning Point will be notified accordingly. (2) Notification Upon receipt of notification that: The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued an alert; the State Watch Office will notify the County Warning Point and the Emergency Operations Center. The EOC will disseminate this change and recommended protective actions based on the direction provided by the Incident Commander. The Homeland Security National Advisory System issued an “Imminent Threat”, the State Warning Point will contact the County Warning Point and the EOC. During non-duty hours, the County Warning Point will notify the Emergency Management Director who, in turn, will coordinate this change and recommended protective actions with the incident commander. The Emergency Management Director will schedule a meeting to brief County senior staff and ESF representatives on the current situation and will consider activating the EOC and Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CIEH). A known or suspected terrorist event has occurred, is occurring or may occur, the On-Duty Communications Supervisor of the County Warning Point will notify the State Watch Office, as well as county and municipal agencies in accord with existing procedures. Regardless of the source of the detection of a known, suspected or threatened terrorist event, pursuant to this annex, under all circumstances, the County Warning Point will immediately notify State Watch Office (SWO) that a terrorist incident may have occurred or has been threatened. The County Warning Point shall immediately notify the Emergency Management Director, or his designee, following the notification to the SWO. (3) Classification (based on the National Terrorism Advisory System) Every known, suspected or threatened terrorist event occurring in Collier County or its municipalities will be classified in a manner consistent with Federal policy. The Collier County Warning Point will be informed of the classification and will, in turn, notify the incident commander and the County EOC, if activated. As for in this annex, when there is credible information about a threat, an NTAS Alert will be shared with the American public. It may include specific information, if available, about the nature of the threat, including the geographic region, mode of transportation, or critical infrastructure potentially affected by the threat, as well as steps that individuals and communities can take to protect themselves and help prevent, mitigate or respond to the threat. The advisory will clearly indicate whether the threat is Elevated, if we have no specific information about the timing or location, or Imminent, if we believe the threat is impending or very soon. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 16 NTAS Alerts: After reviewing the available information, the Secretary of Homeland Security will decide, in coordination with other Federal entities, whether an NTAS Alert should be issued. NTAS Alerts will only be issued when credible information is available. These alerts will include a clear statement that there is an imminent threat or elevated threat. Using available information, the alerts will provide a concise summary of the potential threat, information about actions being taken to ensure public safety, and recommended steps that individuals, communities, businesses and governments can take to help prevent, mitigate or respond to the threat. The NTAS Alerts will be based on the nature of the threat: in some cases, alerts will be sent directly to law enforcement or affected areas of the private sector, while in others, alerts will be issued more broadly to the American people through both official and media channels. NTAS Alerts contain a sunset provision indicating a specific date when the alert expires - there will not be a constant NTAS Alert or blanket warning that there is an overarching threat. If threat information changes for an alert, the Secretary of Homeland Security may announce an updated NTAS Alert. All changes, including the announcement that cancels an NTAS Alert, will be distributed the same way as the original alert. The incident commander for Collier County or the impacted municipality will also notify the County Warning Point of one of the following two situations: State and/or Federal resources are requested to support local operations, or Local capabilities are deemed to be adequate for local crisis and consequence management response operations. The County Warning Point will then notify the State Watch Office accordingly. If the actual or potential consequences of the incident are such that county, State and Federal resources and assistance are likely to be needed, these will be requested by the unified command through the county Emergency Operations Center in accordance with provisions of the Collier County CEMP. C. Response Operations Response operations are not covered by this annex. (1) Response Policies Imminent Threat Alert Warns of a credible, specific, and impending terrorist threat against the United States. Elevated Threat Alert Warns of a credible terrorist threat against the United States. Sunset Provision An individual threat alert is issued for a specific time period and then automatically expires. It may be extended if new information becomes available or the threat evolves. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 17 The county’s response to a known, suspected or threatened terrorist event will be in accordance with established policies for emergency response operations for other types of hazards, as defined within the Collier County CEMP, with the following additions: There will be unique requirements to protect the safety of response personnel during an event that involves the use of a weapon of mass destruction. Safety of response personnel will be the highest priority. County and/or municipal response personnel will assume the presence of secondary explosive, chemical, biological or radiological devices at or near the scene and conduct subsequent operations accordingly until the absence of secondary devices is known, Prior to the use of a weapon of mass destruction, tactical operations will emphasize crisis management; following the use of a weapon of mass destruction, tactical operations will emphasize consequence management. The unified command will lead the county’s response to crisis and consequence management operations. The EM Director may at his discretion dispatch or authorize county vehicles or equipment to be taken home with employees after hours and weekends to ensure a timely response to emergency situations. Management of response operations will be guided by the following priorities: Preserving life or minimizing risk to health, Preventing a threatened act from being carried out or an existing terrorist act from being expanded or aggravated, Locating, accessing, rendering safe, controlling, containing, recovering and disposing of a weapon of mass destruction, Rescuing, decontaminating, transporting and treating victims, Releasing emergency public information that ensures adequate and accurate communications with the public, Restoring essential services and mitigating suffering, Apprehending and successfully prosecuting perpetrators, and Conducting site restoration. (2) Mobilization and activation of resources Depending on the characteristics of the terrorist incident, response agencies of Collier County or the impacted municipality will be mobilized in accord with a tiered response, sequences as follows and using the guidelines given: A unified command structure will be established as soon as possible to meet the dynamics of the terrorist event. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 18 STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT This tier of response is designed to provide structure and support to the initial dispatch. The structure and support response may originate in one of two different ways. Each will expand the Incident Management System (IMS) structure by dispatching units: 1) As part of the original dispatch due to the nature and/or gravity of the incident; or 2) At the request of initially responding forces on the scene. In general, this tier of response will involve mobilization of fire/rescue, EMS and law enforcement command personnel, as well as notification and activation of public health and hospital emergency department personnel. The Collier County Medical Examiner’s Office will also be notified if fatalities have occurred or are likely to occur as a result of the incident. The responding command personnel will: 1) Coordinate operations for HazMat Teams, Law Enforcement, EMS and other responders. 2) Provide immediate scene situation reports to the EM director or designee 3) Provide resource status reports and anticipated needs to the EM director 4) Make timely request for the Mobile Command Vehicle in support of an on-site communications and coordination function. The Hospital Emergency Departments, the EMS Division and Florida Department of Health - Collier will: 1) Coordinate issues in assessment of the medical and health issues involved in the incident. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 19 2) Plan and implement actions for emergency department operations and a public health response. UNIFIED COMMAND The tier of the response involves establishing an integrated unified command for crisis and consequence management. Depending on the characteristics of the incident, the unified command must be prepared to encompass the following: 1) County and municipal/Independent Fire/Rescue, EMS, DoH, Emergency Management, PIO and HazMat Teams 2) County and municipal law enforcement operations 3) State and local resources/agencies 4) Federal agencies through the FBI, FEMA and Department of Homeland Security. In addition, specialists will be included as part of this tier of response to facilitate and process available data to refine threat assessment. Their actions are likely to include: 1) Evidence collection 2) Cyber terrorism investigation 3) Locating and rendering safe primary and secondary devices 4) Providing and supervising additional medical personnel The designated Collier County Public Information Officer (PIO) will also be dispatched as specialist supporting this tier of response. The mission of the County PIO will be to: 1) Process information from, and then back through, the unified command before it is disseminated to the media. 2) Facilitate establishing the Joint Information Center (JIC) by state and Federal PIOs and represent county and municipal interests in the JIC. 3) Coordinate information to be released to the public with the EOC and EM director. Also, provide support personnel to the EOC for media information management and the CIEH, as needed. (3) Mutual Aid For major terrorist events, Collier County, independent fire districts or the impacted municipality will request assistance from mutual aid organizations pursuant to normal procedures. When required, the Regional Domestic Security Response Force will be requested through the State Watch Office, via Collier Emergency Management office using the form found in Appendix 4. Through the Collier County Warning Point, the county may also access statewide fire and law enforcement mutual aid available through the Florida Fire Chiefs’ Association and the Florida Sheriffs’ Association, respectively. The County Warning Point and/or Emergency Operations Center, through the State Emergency Operations Center and/or Warning Point, may also request activation of the District Response Team (DRT), Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) or Disaster Mortuary Response Team (DMORT) activation to support local operations. (4) Scene Management Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 20 Management of the scene of a known, suspected or threatened terrorist incident will be in accordance with established departmental procedures for response to an incident involving a hazardous material, explosive device, and/or other situation dangerous to responders, as well as a situation potentially involving mass casualties. (5) Public Protection Depending on the characteristics of the agent, the actual or potential use of a chemical, biological, or radiological weapon of mass destruction is likely to necessitate immediate action to protect the surrounding public and/or populated areas adjacent to and downwind of the point(s) of release. Because of similarities in dispersion of a chemical, biological, or radiological weapon of mass destruction, emergency operations by the County for public protection will be those utilized for a major hazardous materials incident involving an explosive material and/or one that is an inhalation hazard. Such operations would be conducted in accordance with the county’s established hazardous materials response procedures for implementing evacuation and/or sheltering-in-place in various locations within the county. When feasible, notification to the at-risk population will be made by the Collier County Sheriff’s Office using the “Code Red” system. If the size of the at-risk population is too great and/or the threat is imminent, the Emergency Management Office/County Warning Point will initiate activation of the Emergency Alerting System. In the face of uncertainty regarding a known, suspected or threatened characteristics or the likelihood of dangerous or contaminating levels of agent being dispersed beyond the incident scene, the county will instruct all members of the population to initially shelter-in- place. When additional information is available and/or decisions regarding the most appropriate protective action can be made and implemented, this emergency instruction can be continued, modified by an evacuation and/or terminated. (6) Emergency Plan Activation As indicated by the characteristics of the incident and/or its actual or potential consequences, Collier County or the impacted municipality, if applicable, will activate its Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and accordingly activate its Emergency Operations Center. Timing of the county’s activation will be designed, to the extent feasible, to anticipate changes in the incident classification level so that county emergency operations can be expanded in a timely manner. Suggested EOC activation levels are as follows: Monitoring activation when the event is classified as a “Low, Guarded or Elevated” Threat Partial or Full activation when the event is classified as a “High or Severe Threat,” depending on the potential consequences of the event, and Full activation when the event is classified as a “WMD event.” Emergency actions for management of the actual or potential consequences of an event will be conducted for each activation level as specified in the Collier County CEMP. (7) Activation of Other Facilities Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 21 In order to meet the needs of the victims, responders, and the media in a terrorist event, the following facilities are likely to be needed: Incident Command Post: A command post will be established at or near the scene of the terrorist incident during Tier II of the response operation. The Command Post will be established by the agency with jurisdiction. Whether a mobile or fixed structure is used as a command post, the Incident Commander is to designate and/or activate a facility that will have adequate space and services if the incident escalates and mutual aid, state or Federal agencies are required to join the unified command. All Collier County Emergency Support Functions will, as necessary and when activated, provide resource and logistical support to Command Post personnel and operations. Casualty Collection Point: In the event that the number and conditions of victims warrant, the Independent Fire District, Collier County EMS, Sheriff’s Office and/or the municipal police department with jurisdiction will establish a “Casualty Collection Point.” This may be a building, mobile unit or designated area closely associated with a decontamination center, if the characteristics of the incident require such operations for casualties. The unified command will ensure that appropriate decontamination of individuals has occurred prior to their relocation to the casualty collection point. This facility will be used to provide immediately needed services for the victims, such as first aid, contact with family members, medical observation, and arrangements for transportation to home or a medical facility. The law enforcement personnel staffing the collection point will ensure that the names, addresses and other information and statements from the victims are taken prior to release of the individual from the scene. Collier County Emergency Support Functions #6 and #8, when activated, will provide assistance and support for this operation. Victim and Family Assistance Center Large terrorist events, with numerous casualties, will necessitate providing information and immediate services for family members of victims during search and rescue operations, decontamination, medical treatment, quarantine and witness debriefing. In the event that family members of victims converge on the scene, and the operation is likely to be prolonged, the Collier County ESFs #6 will establish a “Family Assistance Center.” County ESFs #8, #14 and #16 will assist with this operation. ESF #6 will secure a facility to serve as a location to provide information, assistance and counseling to family members, and to work with the unified command and the involved medical facilities to ensure the flow of timely and accurate information to family members. This will also be a center to connect family members with other established community services that may be needed after the event. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 22 Emergency News Center / Joint Information Center A major terrorist-related event will require operations and resources to be dedicated to media management, and these operations are likely to exceed those necessary for another type of emergency. The designated Collier County Public Information Officer in charge will establish an Emergency News Center, and will activate such a center as soon as it is apparent that the Unified Command’s PIO function cannot manage media interest without interference to on-scene operations. If a PIO from an impacted municipality is available, the municipal PIO will be requested to cooperate with establishing and staffing the Emergency News Center. The Emergency News Center may be either an indoor or outdoor facility established at a sufficient distance from the scene to prevent any interference with emergency response operations. The County’s PIO will work with the unified command’s PIO function to ensure an adequate flow of timely information from the command post to the Emergency News Center. The PIO will utilize available mechanisms for the delivery of emergency public information from the Emergency News Center, including but not limited to: 1) The Emergency Alert System (EAS) when a sudden event requires immediate contact with the general public. The EAS will be activated with the assistance of Collier County Emergency Management and the County Warning Point. 2) Issuance of concise information releases to media. These releases will be prepared and approved with the assistance of the PIO function of the command post and/or the Collier County EOC, if activated. 3) Providing information directly to the media present, including the broadcast media. The PIO may arrange for command staff to support such interviews on a schedule that will not interfere with response operations. In the event that state and Federal agencies are mobilized to Collier County for the terrorist incident response, state and Federal PIOs will establish a Joint Information Center (JIC). The County’s PIO will assist with securing a suitable mobile or fixed structure for this purpose, and provide assistance as possible to equip the JIC, and will ensure that county PIO representatives are included in the staffing and operations of the JIC. Other actions taken by the Collier County PIO from an Emergency News Center and/or the JIC will be in accord with the Collier County CEMP. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 23 (8) Management of Victims Release of a weapon of mass destruction within Collier County could result in widespread structural damage, environmental contamination, and injured and/or displaced victims. The unified command would respond to such circumstances by implementing consequence management operations pursuant to the Collier County CEMP. However, the involvement of a weapon of mass destruction may require, depending on the characteristics of the event, that emergency operations for the management of victims include the following special efforts: Rapid triage and decontamination of large numbers of victims prior to their movement to a shelter or medical facility, Environmental monitoring for the presence of chemical, biological or radiological contaminants, Decontamination or disinfecting operations at the scene, at medical facilities and at mass care shelters, Use of appropriate personal protective equipment by response personnel, Adjustment of triage techniques to account for the health effect of the contaminant, amount/route of exposure or contamination. Accommodation of “worried-well” and prevention of cross-contamination or contaminate migration. Proper handling and safe disposal of contaminated clothing, belongings, etc. and Continued monitoring of injured or sickened victims, as well as displaced persons and emergency workers, for indications of contamination or infection. (9) Preservation of Crime Scene Health and Human safety issues will take precedence over evidence collection. However, responders should try to minimize the amount of disruption to the scene. If the event is determined to be a possible terrorist act, evidence collection will be essential. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office and/or the responding municipal police department will secure the crime scene, and notify the FDLE and the FBI. The FBI will be notified of any potential terrorist-related act, regardless of the number of casualties. (10) Disposition of the Deceased In the event of a mass casualty incident involving the use of a CBRNE device, decontamination of the deceased will need to be performed. Decontamination of the deceased will occur at or near the scene under the lead of the law enforcement component of the command, to ensure gathering and/or preservation of forensic evidence, as necessary, has occurred prior to decontamination. It is the responsibility of the Incident Commander to determine the agency best suited to perform this function and to supervise the procedure. Decontamination of the deceased will be completed prior to the release of bodies to the Collier County Medical Examiner’s Office. Given the type and nature of the device that is used, it is possible that evidence such as projectiles, bomb fragments, and/or chemical compounds could be found on the bodies of the deceased. In all cases, the Medical Examiner’s Office will be appraised of this Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 24 potential, and, to the extent feasible, such remains will be decontaminated, treated or assessed at the scene prior to release of the body to the Medical Examiner. Further, the FBI Evidence Response Team may place evidence collection experts and equipment on the scene and/or at the Medical Examiner's Office where the bodies are taken for autopsy. In the event that the FBI is not on the scene and will not be responding, normal evidence gathering protocols will be implemented. In the absence of the FBI, the responsibility for crime scene preservation and evidence will belong to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office or the municipal police department with jurisdiction. If the incident involves a biological agent, the Medical Examiner's Office will work with experts from the Florida Health Department - Collier to determine the best way to deal with the disposition of the deceased. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may also be involved, depending on the circumstances. In an event where the Collier County Medical Examiner's Office becomes overwhelmed, assistance would be requested of the medical examiners from adjacent counties, pursuant to existing mutual aid agreements. In addition, should it still become necessary, the Collier County Medical Examiner could request the Florida Medical Examiner's Commission (within FDLE) to activate the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (D-MORT). The incident must be declared a federal emergency in order to activate this resource. D-MORT provides assistance to local agencies in terms of morgue equipment, personnel and total mortuary care (such as autopsies, preparations, caskets, and funeral arrangements). (11) Response Termination and Demobilization Termination and demobilization of a county or municipal response to a terrorism incident will be under the direction of the unified command. However, if the incident has resulted in activation of state and Federal response agencies, termination and demobilization of the local emergency response operations will be with the concurrence of the Federal On- Scene Commander. In all cases, county operations will be continued until termination of Federal and State operations, and may continue beyond the demobilization of Federal and/or State personnel at the scene if deemed necessary by the county’s unified command. Upon receipt of Federal authorization and/or concurrence for response termination and demobilization, the county and/or municipality’s unified command will demobilize operations using established procedures. Depending on the circumstances of the terrorist incident, however, additional efforts by those normally employed for a disaster event may be warranted, including but not limited to the following: Assuring complete and adequate decontamination of response equipment and materials, Providing for additional emergency worker critical incident stress debriefings, Obtaining expanded mental health counseling services for the disaster victims and their families, Providing continuing public information regarding the medical, health or psychological impacts of the event and the agent used, Providing for medical monitoring of all exposed emergency workers and members of the public, Providing for continuing environmental monitoring for contaminants, Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 25 Providing for safe and proper disposal of contaminated response materials, equipment and debris, Supporting subsequent criminal investigation efforts, and Documenting the event in detail, evaluating the response, and making adjustments to this annex and any implementing procedures as indicated. Other procedures implemented by the county or municipalities for assisting disaster victims, restoring services, seeking Federal disaster assistance, documenting expenditures, etc. will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Collier County CEMP. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex B Page - 26 X. ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES This section of the Terrorism Incident Response Annex to the Collier County CEMP addresses those responsibilities of county agencies, organizations and officials for the specific program development and implementation functions necessary to manage a terrorist incident. Responsibilities for programs, plans and procedures that are related to management of other types of disaster situations are addressed in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. The municipalities within the county are expected to address the responsibilities of its agencies and organizations within their own comprehensive emergency management plans and applicable terrorism incident response annex. If the municipalities have not prepared such documents, it is expected that their response organizations would adhere to the applicable responsibilities as defined in this section. While the focus of this discussion is on the duties of county organizations, the expected roles and responsibilities of other local, State and Federal agencies and organizations are summarized to provide a context for understanding the county’s position in the entire response organization. A. Overview For this annex, Collier County and its municipalities have responsibilities appropriate for its capabilities and requirements. In sum, these responsibilities can be categorized as follows: To develop and maintain an adequate level of preparedness to serve as the “first responder” to a terrorist incident occurring within the county, To effectively establish, lead or support a unified command for management of a terrorist incident occurring within the county, To exercise authority for the protection of the safety and health of the people of Collier County during such an event, and To assure effective implementation of the Collier County CEMP for management of the consequences to the county of a terrorist event. Because this is an annex to the Collier County CEMP, its implementation will rely strongly on the resources and capabilities of the emergency support functions that make up the county’s emergency response team. Therefore, the assignment of the special responsibilities for terrorism response program development, and implementation of this annex, has been primarily by emergency support function, or, if needed, by specific county agencies or officials. Focusing on the emergency support functions facilitates incorporation of such special duties or functions into those roles and responsibilities that have been assigned through the CEMP for all other types of emergencies or disasters. Therefore, lead and support agencies for each of the county’s emergency support functions can and must assure that the responsibilities assigned under this annex will effectively interface with their other program and operational duties for all types of disasters.

This annex addresses the role of State and local government in providing the necessary support to the Florida Forest Service in its statutory responsibilities in responding to, controlling and suppressing wildfires. The Collier County Emergency Management Office collaborates with the incident’s Logistics Chief for coordination of the logistical support. The Collier County Fire Chief’s Association, in cooperation with the Florida Forest Service, will update and coordinate the plans with other response and support agencies. The Annex is a living document; being reviewed and updated at the conclusion of a major wild land fire event or annually. It is presently divided into four (4) Chapters as follows: Chapter 1 – Introduction: Provides a discussion of the purpose, scope and planning assumptions used to prepare the annex. Chapter 2 - The Response Organization: Identifies the various levels of support that may be provided through a Unified Command structure. It describes the circumstances under which the various agencies will unify under a single command structure in responding to, controlling and suppressing wildfires and the responsibilities of the Unified Command components (agencies). This Chapter also addresses the delegation of authority during a wildfire event. Chapter 3 - The Concept of Operation: Presents the key guidelines that will be used to make key decisions during the course of the event. Based on joint considerations discussed and determined by the county’s liaison agencies of the Unified Command (Florida Forest Service, the Collier Fire Chief’s Association and the Emergency Management Division), several guidelines for the three levels of activation (Monitoring, Partial, and Full) for the Collier County Emergency Operations Center during a wildfire event have been developed. This Chapter also addresses medical unit activation, air operations, logistical support, and resources. Chapter 4 - Public Information and Information Flow: Discusses the notification process for active wildfires to the State Warning Point, the coordination of situation reports and incident action plans. Attachment 1 - Requesting Fire Suppression Assistance: Provides the framework under which fire suppression assistance will be obtained when State resources have been over extended. Information will be disseminated to the public within the Unified Command. The Chapter also describes the information needed and the steps necessary for satisfying the requirements to request fire suppression assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency based on the wildfire or complex of wildfires. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 5 to Annex C References and Authorities The authority for the development, implementation and maintenance of this Annex and all compatible county/municipal plans in support of the Florida Forest Service and Division of Emergency Management in its statutory responsibilities in responding to, controlling and suppressing wildfires is derived from Chapter 252.38(1)(a) of the Florida Statutes. This Annex further serves as the fundamental governing policy as prescribed for the Florida Forest Service under Chapter 590 of the Florida Statutes. The Federal Emergency Management Agency policy on requesting Fire Suppression Assistance is contained within 44 CFR Part 206, Subpart L. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Interim Policy on Fire Suppression Assistance, April 1999. Operations Plan between Florida Forest Service & Collier County Fire Departments details mutual aid requests and procedures, communications and facilities available as well as broad operational response requirements between fire agencies. Caloosahatchee All Hazards – Incident Management Team Standard Operating Guidelines establishes TYPE III incident management team operational procedures, organization and deployment strategy. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 6 to Annex C CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION I. General Annex C (The Collier County Emergency Response Team Guidelines for Wildfire Operations) identifies the actions that may be taken by the Florida Forest Service and those State and local agencies in support of the Florida Forest Service in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from wildfire event(s). This Annex addresses the role of State and local government in providing the necessary support to the Florida Forest Service in its statutory responsibilities in responding to, controlling and suppressing wildfires. II. Purpose The Collier County Emergency Management Division collaborates with the incident’s Logistics Chief for coordination of the logistical support. The Emergency Management Division, in cooperation with the Collier County Fire Chiefs’ Association, will update and coordinate the plans with other response and support agencies. III. Scope This Annex covers any and all wildfires that occur in Collier County that the Florida Forest Service and local governments respond. The purpose of the response is to contain, control and extinguish the wildfire. IV. Assumptions A. The Florida Forest Service is statutorily responsible for wildfire prevention, detection, and suppression on 26,000,000 acres in Florida. B. The Florida Forest Service’s Caloosahatchee Forestry Center works with the local fire departments and districts to inform the public on the Firewise Communities program. This program educates homeowners and community professionals about creating defensible space around homes and other buildings to help protect from the dangers of wildfire. C. The United States Forest Service and the Department of Interior are responsible for wildfire suppression on their respective federal lands throughout the State. D. Each year, lightning fires that are associated with Florida’s thunderstorm season (April through September) can create tremendous wildfire activity when associated with the State’s dry spring conditions. E. From 2005 through 2014, an average of 2,132.47 wildfires occurred per year, burning an average of 85,670.38 acres. In 2007, the wildfire season saw 4,241 wildfires consume more than 376,078.10 acres statewide. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 7 to Annex C F. Due to changing weather conditions and fire trends, the state’s recent peak annual wildfires occurred during 2007, with 4,241 wildfires, with a record low in 2014 of 1,981 wildfires (with 88,647.50 acres burned). G. In 1989, a record 645,331 acres burned statewide. However, the most intense fire season on record occurred in 1998 due to increasing wildland/urban interface in the State and historic dry conditions. H. The President is authorized to provide assistance, including grants, equipment, supplies, and personnel, to any State for the suppression of any fire on publicly or privately owned forest or grassland, which threatens such destruction as would constitute a major disaster. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 8 to Annex C CHAPTER 2 – THE RESPONSE ORGANIZATION I. General This Chapter of the Annex describes the organization to be used to coordinate Collier County’s agencies support of the Florida Forest Service’s response during wildfire events. It describes the Unified Command structure the various agencies will work under to control and suppress wildfires. Also it addresses the circumstances under which the unified structure will support Forest in its response to wildfires. Following the catastrophic fires in Florida during the summer of 1998, State and Federal agencies developed new and updated strategies to deal with serious statewide wildfires. A major change since 1998 was in the organization of statewide oversight. In 1999, a Unified State Command comprised of in-state personnel was utilized. The Unified State Command structure will be the process used to manage serious wildfire events. II. Response Organization A. Local The Incident Management Team (IMT) comprised of locally trained State and local firefighters will be used to manage fire-fighting operation when two mutual aid departments and Florida Forest Service assets are engaged in a wildland fire- fighting operation. The Incident Management Team will request activation of the County Emergency Operations Center and/or State’s response system when the wildland fire is expected to exceed local fire-fighting capabilities. B. State The Unified State Command is established as conditions warrant based on a joint decision by the State Forester and the Forest Supervisor of the National Forest in Florida and/or a representative of the Department of the Interior. Unified State Command is organized like a State Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) group, but with the important difference being that the Unified State Command also retains operational command of resources as well as provides logistical coordination. The Unified State Command is set up so that an Incident Commander is provided from the primary jurisdictional agencies on which the wildfires are occurring. Unified State Commanders will include the Florida Forest Service and either the USDA Forest Service, National Park Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, or the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In addition to the Incident Commanders and jurisdictional agency liaisons, the Command Staff will also include liaisons from several key support agencies. These support agencies include the Division of Emergency Management, Division of State Fire Marshal, Florida Fire Chief’s Association; Florida National Guard and if involved the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 9 to Annex C III. Responsibilities A. Collier County Emergency Management Division Support wildland fire-fighting operations with logistical support. Enter “EM Constellation” requests to the State Emergency Operations Center. Monitor the operation so as to request the Board of County Commissioners issue a Local Declaration of Emergency and issue warnings to the affected communities as the situation warrants. Activate the Emergency Alerting System to facilitate area evacuation(s). Activate sheltering/cooling operations for those evacuated. B. Collier County Fire Chief’s Association (CCFCA) The CCFCA will organize and maintain the County’s Incident Management Team to support wildland fire-fighting operations. This Incident Management Team can be deployed to support other wildland fire-fighting operations in the region. C. Florida Forest Service, Caloosahatchee Forestry Center (D-17) The FFS Caloosahatchee Forestry Center manager, or designated representative, will activate the Incident Management Team when the situation warrants. The Center will also ensure that an annual wildfire operations plan is reviewed and signed off by all cooperators. D. Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Service, Florida Forest Service The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service has statutory responsibility for the suppression of wildland fires in the State of Florida. The Florida Forest Service has the Lead Role in determining when a State Unified Command will be established. In consultation with other State and Federal partners, the Florida Forest Service will appoint one member of their organization and at least one alternate to serve as State Incident Commander. The Incident Commander will determine the scope and structure of the Unified Command for the wildland(s) burning in the State. E. Florida Division of Emergency Management The Florida Division of Emergency Management has statutory responsibility for coordinating State and local support to the Florida Forest Service in the response and recovery from wildland fires. A liaison will be appointed to coordinate the Division’s Support Role. Various support elements will be initiated as requested by the Incident Commander. F. Florida Fire Chiefs’ Association The Florida Fire Chief’s Association provides the Florida Forest Service logistical support through the services of fire departments throughout the State. This support effort will be initiated according to the Florida Fire Chiefs’ Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 10 to Annex C Association State Emergency Response Plan (SERP) that is activated by request for Emergency Support Function 4, Firefighting. G. Division of State Fire Marshal The State Fire Marshal appoints an Emergency Coordination Officer for Emergency Support Function 4, Firefighting. Emergency Support Function 4 is responsible for logistical request from State and local governments for firefighting and EMS resources. These resources are then dispatched according to the requirements of the Florida Fire Chiefs’ Association Disaster Response Plan. IV. Delegation of Authority Incident Management Team(s) for the incidents will be organized in Unified Command with liaisons from the Division of Emergency Management and the Division of State Fire Marshal or the Florida Fire Chief’s Association. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 11 to Annex C CHAPTER 3 – THE CONCEPT OF OPERATION I. General This section of the Annex presents key guidelines that can be used to make key decisions during the course of the event. These decisions will be based on experience, the best evaluation of the current situation, and the forecast for the near future. All wildfire responses will use the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the emergency response organizational management structure. Based on joint considerations discussed and determined by the County’s liaison agencies of the Unified Command (Florida Forest Service, the Collier Fire Chiefs’ Association, and the Fire Chief(s) of the affected area(s)), several guidelines for the three levels of activation (Monitoring, Partial, and Full) for the Collier County Emergency Operations Center during a wildfire event have been developed. When the EOC is activated in support of the Wildfire Response it will act as a Multi-Agency Coordination Center in support of the Unified Command. II. Level Three, Monitoring Phase: When two mutual-aid Departments and Florida Forest Service or one Strike Team is called out, the Emergency Management Division will deploy a liaison to the scene, unless the mutual-aid deployment was only due to the normal lack of organic resources within the agency and not generated by the incident commander “size-up” of the fire situation. Additionally, the Emergency Management Division may deploy a liaison to the scene upon request of the incident commander. The Emergency Management Division will maintain a liaison with the Incident Management Team at the point when the Multi- Agency Coordination/Communication Vehicle is deployed. When wildland fire-fighting activities increase whereby greater logistical support is anticipated and the State’s Incident Management Team is not in place, the Collier County Emergency Operations Center will be activated to support all logistics operations. The Emergency Management liaison will remain in contact with the Florida Forest Service and the Emergency Operations Center, unless a fire-fighter liaison is deployed to the EOC. III. Level Two, Partial Activation The Collier County Emergency Operations Center may be activated to a Level Two and an Area Command (see Annex F) may be established based on a variety of considerations. A. The Request for Issuing a Local Declaration of Emergency When appropriate, the Emergency Management Division will request a Local Declaration of Emergency from the Board of County Commissioners based on the following factors: 1. When the wildland fire is out of control and threatening a community. 2. When the Emergency Management Division or the IMT requests additional powers to speed the logistical support effort. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 12 to Annex C 3. When community evacuations may be required. B. The Collier County Fire Chiefs’ Association (CCFCA) Liaison to the County Emergency Operations Center Once the Collier County Emergency Operations Center has gone to Level Two, the CCFCA will provide a liaison to the County Emergency Operations Center and provide information coordination for the County Emergency Support Functions (ESF-4) or send an IMT to the EOC to establish an Area Command. IV. Level One, Full Activation A. The Emergency Management Division Guidelines to Fully Activate the County Emergency Operations Center The Emergency Management Director, in consultation with the CCFCA Liaison and County Manager, will make the decision when to activate the County Emergency Operations Center to a Level One. The following factors may be used in the decision-making process: 1. When a response to a wildfire event requires the resource and/or logistical support from a majority of the County’s Emergency Support Functions. 2. When a wildfire event necessitates evacuations that require resource support from neighboring counties. B. The CCFCA Coordination With the Emergency Management Division The CCFCA and the Emergency Management Division will coordinate several critical functions as follows: 1. Emergency Support Function 4 (ESF-4) will provide logistical liaisons to the Florida Forest Service/US Forest Service offices or at the Unified Expanded Dispatch. 2. A Joint Information Center (JIC) will be established at the scene. The Florida Forest Service will provide briefing points on the wildfire situation through Emergency Support Function 14. Emergency Support Function 14 will then coordinate this consistent information message with other Public Information Officers throughout the county. 3. An Emergency Management Division liaison will be included in the planning process with the IMT personnel in the formation of the Incident Action Plan (IAP) for the wildfire event when the Emergency Operations Center is activated to a Level Two or One. 4. The CCFCA will provide liaisons to the County’s Emergency Support Function 5 (Information and Planning) to consolidate the planning process and provide input into the situation reports issued to the State Emergency Operations Center. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 13 to Annex C C. The CCFCA’s Co-Location To The County Emergency Operations Center The Unified Command will jointly determine when and what portions of the IMT structure should co-locate to the County Emergency Operations Center. The Emergency Management Division will provide all support resources for such co- location. The joint decision to co-locate will be based on guidelines including: 1. The number of wildfire incidents requires continual coordination and logistical support from various County Emergency Support Functions. The liaison initially provided by the Emergency Management Division during Level Three Activation is overwhelmed with the amount of coordination required. 2. The number of wildfire incidents requires the formation and possible forward insertion of an Area Command or multiple Area Commands. V. Medical Unit Activation A medical unit may be activated when an Incident Management Team is put in place to coordinate large numbers of firefighters or emergency personnel. If the Incident Management Team requests a Medical Unit, the request will go through the County Emergency Operations Center. VI. Air Operations When the Florida Forest Service and the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, under increased wildfire activity, establish Unified Air Operations for statewide wildfire aviation coordination, the Unified Air Operations will establish an Air Operations Plan that will coordinate all aircraft associated with fire operations or flying within wildland fire aviation air space. Within Collier County the Caloosahatchee Forestry Center Forest manager, or designated representative, is in charge of the local air space around the wildland fire. This includes: Forestry Aircraft Fire agency aircraft Law Enforcement aircraft Military aircraft Contractor aircraft Media aircraft VII. Resources Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 14 to Annex C The Florida Forest Service and the affected fire district will be responsible for command and control of all operational elements of the wildfire response to include resource ordering for wildfire incidents. The Emergency Management Division will support the wildland fire-fighting operations by managing and coordinating any non-wildfire resource ordering through the Emergency Support Functions and the State Emergency Operations Center. The Incident Commander will order fire-fighting resources through local dispatch. The fire-fighting resource-typed units are detailed in the current year’s Caloosahatchee All Hazards – Incident Management Team Standard Operating Guidelines. VIII. Logistical Support This Section identifies the roles of the agencies involved in the logistical support of the IMT during wildfire events. Separate processes exist for the ordering of resources and other logistical support for the wildfire events and the Incident Management Teams commanding the suppression of wildfires. In addition, the linkage needed between these resources and logistical ordering processes to provide the correct resource, to ensure that it is provided in a timely manner, and that they are provided cost-effectively is identified. The primary method in which resources and logistical support is ordered for wildfire events include: A. The Florida Fire Chief’s Association State Emergency Response Plan (SERP) in support of the Division of State Fire Marshal as the Lead Agency for Emergency Support Function 4 (Firefighting), 8 (Health & Medical), 9 (Search & Rescue) and 10 (Hazardous Materials). B. The Logistics Section of the County Emergency Operations Center. C. Florida Forest Service. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 15 to Annex C CHAPTER 4 – PUBLIC INFORMATION and INFORMATION FLOW I. General This Chapter provides how information will be shared during a wildfire event. During a wildfire event a Joint Information Center (JIC) will be established at the scene comprised of representatives of the affected fire district, Florida Forest Service and the EOC. During the activation of the County Emergency Operations Center, the EOC representative to the JIC will establish a mechanism that efficiently provides and disseminates information to the public. The EOCs lead Public Information Officer will facilitate the logistical support and orientation for all Public Information Officers working in the County Emergency Operations Center. II. Unified Public Information When the County Emergency Operations Center is activated (Level 2 or 1), State & local Fire Agencies and County agencies will provide experienced Public Information Officers to Emergency Support Function 14 or provide access to Public Information Officers to respond to information requests of that particular agency. In the initial stages of an Incident Management Team Information Flow, a plan will be developed. During Level 2 Activation, the additional Public Information Officers represented in Emergency Support Function 14 may include: The Emergency Management Division; The Florida Department of Agriculture, Florida Forest Service; and, The Collier County Fire Chiefs’ Association. During Level 1 Activation, staffing may increase based on the needs of the response and may include the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Florida National Guard, and others as warranted. Each agency will become part of the Unified Public Information. III. Information Flow A. Fire Activity 1. The Florida Forest Service, Caloosahatchee Forestry Center will notify the State Watch Office of any significant fires that develop. 2. The CCFCA representative in the IMT will notify the County Emergency Management liaison or Emergency Operations Center of any significant fires that develop. 3. The criteria for significant fires includes: a. Wildfires that threaten structures, or where structures are lost. b. That forces or has the potential to force evacuations of citizens. c. Wildfires that cause the injury or death. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 16 to Annex C d. Wildfires that create significant smoke problems that may cause road closures to major thoroughfares. e. Large significant wildfires that require movement of out of district forestry resources. B. Situation Report Information 1. The Florida Forest Service will continue to produce a daily wildfire summary, which is available at their website <www.floridaforestservice.com>. The Forest Protection Bureau can be contacted for any clarifications that may be required from the raw data on the summary. 2. The Emergency Management Division will extract pertinent information from that scene and liaison officers for its situation reports, which will be completed and transmitted to the State Emergency Operations Center. 3. The CCFCA shall distribute a daily situational report (SITREP) which will report apparatus issues, anticipated weather, and any significant item of concern for the various CCFCA agencies, Collier County and regional representatives. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 17 to Annex C Attachment 1 - REQUESTING FIRE SUPPRESSION ASSISTANCE I. General The President of the United States is authorized to provide Federal assistance to any state for the suppression of any fire on publicly or privately owned forest or grassland that would constitute a major disaster. Such assistance may be in the form of grants, equipment, supplies, and personnel in accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s policy on requesting Fire Suppression Assistance as contained in 44 CFR Part 206, Subpart L. II. Purpose of Fire Suppression Assistance Through the Fire Suppression Assistance Program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's role in combating grassland, wildland, or wildland/urban interface fires is to provide financial assistance to states for fire suppression. The program is unique in that the Federal Emergency Management Agency actively provides assistance to suppress fires that threaten such destruction as would constitute a major disaster. When it has been determined that a wildland fire or fires on publicly or privately owned forest or grassland threaten such destruction as would constitute a major disaster, supplemental assistance may be provided in the form of a single grant, to reimburse eligible fire suppression costs. III. Scope of Fire Suppression Assistance A fire suppression declaration is the authorization of Federal assistance that is made to the Federal Emergency Management Agency when a fire or fires constitute the threat of a major disaster. A. Criteria for Fire Suppression Assistance The Federal Emergency Management Agency will authorize a Fire Suppression Declaration if the eligible damage and potential impact of the fire is of a magnitude that it could result into a major Disaster Declaration for Public Assistance and/or Individual Assistance. B. Key Factors for Fire Suppression Assistance 1. The Florida Forest Service, the State Coordinating Officer, the Principal Advisor, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency will consider the following key factors when evaluating and analyzing the need for fire suppression assistance: a. Threat to lives and improved property b. Threat to critical facilities. c. Committed or unavailable State and local resources including resources through: State agencies; local fire departments; Cooperative Agreements; and Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 18 to Annex C d. Interstate/Regional Compacts; the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. 2. High danger fire conditions, as indicated by: a. Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) or similar nationally accepted index. b. Energy release component. c. Current weather conditions. d. Rate of spread based on a nationally accepted behavior model. e. Spread component. f. Ignition component. g. Burning index. h. Relevant State restrictions in place and implemented. i. Topography of the land. 3. Threatened watershed areas. 4. Potential impact on the environmental and historic/cultural resources. 5. Potential major economic impact. 6. Existence of multiple wildfires/potential convergence of fires. IV. Gathering Information for Fire Suppression Assistance Request Staff for the Florida Forest Service will be made aware of the potential need to document and gather information required to request Federal Fire Suppression Assistance. A. Critical Information for Requesting Fire Suppression Assistance When making a request for Federal Fire Suppression Assistance, the following critical information is required and must be gathered: 1. If the State is unable to control or suppress wildfires or a complex of wildfires without out-of-state assistance. 2. If homes and/or structures are threatened and or evacuated due to the threat of the wildfire and the number of such homes, structures, or commercial businesses that are threatened. 3. If there is key infrastructure being threatened such as power plants, utility lines, water and/or sewage plants. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 19 to Annex C 4. If the wildfire is not controlled or contained at the time of the request. 5. The number of resources that is being utilized, including local fire/rescue resources, are documented and reported. 6. Current weather conditions are being reported and documented as extreme. B. Closing Fire Suppression Grant Assistance To close out a Federal Fire Suppression Grant in the State of Florida, the Unified Command/Florida Forest Service representative will notify the State Coordinating Officer of any Complexes in which all fires are controlled thus signaling the end to the grant period. It will then be the Florida Forest Service’s responsibility to issue the notification to the principal advisor. All such notifications must be in writing. V. Roles and Responsibilities for Fire Suppression Assistance A. The Florida Forest Service Incident Commander The Incident Commander will notify the Florida Forest Service’s State Officer in Charge of the wildfire, as soon as possible and report the information that is available. The Incident Commander will coordinate this information with the County Emergency Management representative. B. The Director of the Florida Forest Service The Director or designee will coordinate with the Division of Emergency Management liaison or Duty Officer to notify the State Coordinating Officer, if identified, when a fire meets the criteria for a Fire Suppression Grant. Contacting the State Warning Point can do this notification. C. The State Coordinating Officer 1. Will by telephone, fax, or through other rapid communications, contact the Regional Federal Emergency Management Agency Coordinator and make them aware of the situation and of the request. 2. Will follow-up in writing to the Region IV office of Federal Emergency Management Agency outlining some of the principal items in the request. 3. Will apply for assistance for wildfire complexes utilizing established Forestry Districts or Centers encompassing varying numbers of counties and will continue to utilize these Districts/Centers when applying for additional assistance. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 01, 2016 Page 20 to Annex C D. The Florida Forest Service Representative 1. A representative from the Florida Forest Service will fill out the Federal Emergency Management Agency request form FEMA 90-58. The form is then signed by the State Coordinating Officer and submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Regional Office. 2. Will contact the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Principal Advisor to make any request a recommendation be made on the grant request. E. The Principal Advisor The Principal advisor will complete their recommendation and submit it to Federal Emergency Management Agency on FEMA Form 90-32.

This Annex addresses the role of State and local government in providing the necessary support to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners in its statutory responsibilities in responding to and recovering from the effects of a hurricane. The Collier County Emergency Management Office has the overall responsibility to update and coordinate this Annex with other response and support agencies. The Annex is a living document; being reviewed and updated at the conclusion of each hurricane exercise or event, at least annually. It is presently divided into four (4) Chapters as follows: Chapter 1 – Introduction: Provides a discussion of the purpose, scope and planning assumptions used to prepare the Annex. Chapter 2 - The Response Organization: Identifies the various levels of support that may be provided through the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) structure. It describes the circumstances under which the various agencies will unify under a single command structure in preparing for, responding to, recovering from and mitigating the effects of a hurricane by the components of governmental agencies. This Chapter also addresses the delegation of authority during a hurricane event. Chapter 3 - The Concept of Operation: Presents the key guidelines that will be used to make key decisions during the course of the event: Pre- and Post-Disaster Operations and Activities. Based on joint considerations discussed and determined by the county’s liaison agencies of the Unified Command (Cities and Constitutional Officers), several guidelines for the three levels of activation (Monitoring, Partial, and Full) for the Collier County Emergency Operations Center during a hurricane event have been developed. Chapter 4 - Public Information/Warning and Information Flow: Discusses the information, notification and warning process for hurricane activities to the public, governmental agencies, surrounding counties and the State Watch Office. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 5 to Annex D References and Authorities The authority for the development, implementation and maintenance of this Annex and all compatible county/municipal plans in support of the Collier County’s Board of County Commissioners (through the Emergency Management Division) in its statutory responsibilities in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from the effects of a hurricane event is derived from Chapter 252 of the Florida Statutes and local ordinances. The Federal Emergency Management Agency policy on requesting Federal Disaster Assistance is contained within 44 CFR Part 206. The Collier County BCC’s Human Resources Practices & Procedures addresses various aspects of Collier County government during emergency. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 6 to Annex D CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION I. General Annex D (The Collier County Emergency Response Team Guidelines for Hurricane Operations) identifies the actions that may be taken by the governmental agencies within Collier County in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from a hurricane event. This Annex addresses the role of State and local government in providing the necessary support to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners in its statutory responsibilities in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from hurricanes. II. Purpose The Collier County Emergency Management Division has the overall responsibility for coordination of the support to the Board of County Commissioners and the local governments in response to a hurricane event in Collier County. The Emergency Management Division will update and coordinate the plans with other response and support agencies. III. Scope This Annex addresses hurricanes that affect Collier. The purpose of the response is to protect lives, property and mitigate the effects of the storm. IV. Assumptions A. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is statutorily responsible for preparing for, responding to and recovering from the damaging effects of a hurricane upon the residents of Collier County once a Declaration of a Local State of Emergency is made. B. Once under a Declaration of Local State of Emergency, all governmental activities within Collier County, to include the schools, fall under operational control of the Board of County Commissioners. C. The Governor of Florida, through Executive Order, may cause the Emergency Operations Center to be activated in support of Emergency Operations throughout the State. D. Once under a Declaration of Local State of Emergency, the Board of County Commissioners, through the Emergency Management Office, orders evacuations as necessary to protect the public. E. The Governor of Florida, through Executive Order, may require Collier County to open its shelters to support host-county sheltering operations. F. Collier County’s resources will be overwhelmed by the direct hit of any category of hurricane and will require mutual aid, State and Federal assistance to recover from the effects of the disaster. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 7 to Annex D CHAPTER 2 – THE RESPONSE ORGANIZATION I. General This Chapter of the Annex describes the organization to be used to coordinate Collier County’s agencies support of the response during the hurricane event. It describes the Unified Command Structure the various agencies will work under to respond to and recover from a hurricane. Also it addresses the circumstances under which Collier County supports other jurisdictions in Florida in response to a hurricane. II. Response Organization A. Local Using the principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Emergency Operations Center’s team, comprised of locally trained local governmental and volunteer agencies, is organized as described in the “Basic Plan”, paragraph IV, B.2. This team will direct implementation of major external response and recovery activities. It gets its direction from the Policy Group, comprised of the BOCC, Constitutional officers, and city liaison officers. B. State The Florida Division of Emergency Management may deploy liaison officers for both response and recovery activities to the Emergency Operations Center pre- impact of the storm. The liaison team will work with the Emergency Management Division to facilitate coordination and communication with the State. III. Responsibilities A. Collier County Emergency Management Division 1. Monitor storm development, keeping both the governmental agencies and the public informed about potential impact. 2. Participate in Regional and State conference calls coordinating risk and/or host county activities. 3. Activate the Emergency Operations Center to the level appropriate to the storm’s threat. 4. Additionally, the Division will monitor the operation so as to request the Board of County Commissioners issue a Local Declaration of Emergency and issue warnings to the affected communities as the situation warrants. 5. Act as the Functional Lead for each Incident Management activity, i.e., Operations, Planning/Intelligence, Administration and Logistics, at the EOC for the County Manager. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 8 to Annex D 6. Provide liaison to the State and FEMA during post-disaster activities. B. Collier County Division Administrators The Administrators will prepare their personnel and organizations for the storm and staff positions within the Emergency Operations Center as required by the Response Manager. C. Collier County Constitutional Officers and City Officials The Constitutional Officers and city officials will be allowed to participate within the Policy Group and support decisions made by the Board of County Commissioners. D. Private Non-Profit Agencies (PNPs) The PNPs, represented in the EOC, will coordinate their service activities with the Response and Recovery Managers. E. Collier County Fire Chiefs’ Association The Collier County Fire Chief’s Association provides the coordinated response activities throughout the county. F. Growth Management Department 1. Act as the Lead Agency responsible for Damage/Impact Assessment activities within the county. 2. Work with appropriate Federal and State agencies to identify site locations for temporary housing, establish permitting standards for rebuilding; determine re-habitability of structures, etc. 3. Lead the business recovery activities. 4. Establish Recovery Information Centers for the public and businesses. IV. Delegation of Authority Personnel assigned to an Emergency Support Function (ESF) within the Emergency Operations Center possess the authority of the Department head for who they represent. These individuals have the power to commit resources and personnel of their Department. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 9 to Annex D CHAPTER 3 – THE CONCEPT OF OPERATION I. General This section of the Annex presents key guidelines that can be used to make key decisions during the course of the event. These decisions will be based on experience, the best evaluation of the current situation, and the forecast for the near future. All hurricane responses will fall under the umbrella of the Incident Management System established by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Since a hurricane is a disaster that we can see approaching, we have defined general phases of activity based on the anticipated arrival of tropical storm force winds. Based on joint considerations discussed and determined by the County’s liaison agencies of the Unified Command several guidelines for the three levels of activation (Monitoring, Partial, and Full) for the Collier County Emergency Operations Center during a hurricane event have been developed. II. Level Three, Monitoring Phase: The Emergency Management Division will: 1. Monitor the weather system 2. Participate in/Initiate conference calls with other counties, the State, other agencies. 3. Regularly transmit warning and preparedness information through all communications media. 4. Brief the elected officials. 5. Implement Time Delineating Schedule (TDS) activities. 6. Prepare to activate the EOC. III. Level Two, Partial Activation The Collier County Emergency Operations Center may be activated to a Level Two based on a variety of considerations. A. The Request for Issuing a Local Declaration of Emergency When appropriate, the Emergency Management Division will request a Local Declaration of Emergency from the Board of County Commissioners based on the following factors: 1. Activating shelters (Host or Risk). 2. Ordering evacuation(s). 3. Closing down/reducing “normal” governmental operations. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 10 to Annex D 4. Expending county monies in response to the Hurricane Threat. 5. Five-day prediction of Category 4 Hurricane, or higher, paralleling or directly hitting Collier County. 6. Three-Day prediction of Category 3 Hurricane, or higher, paralleling or directly hitting Collier County. B. The Collier County Liaisons to the County Emergency Operations Center Once the Collier County Emergency Operations Center has gone to Level Two, the following agencies will maintain a presence in the EOC while activated: ESF 1, Transportation ESF 3, Public Works/Engineering ESF 4, Firefighting ESF 6, Mass Care ESF 8, Health, Medical & Human Services ESF-9, Search & Rescue ESF 14, Public Information/Collier Emergency Information Hotline ESF 16, Law Enforcement Liaisons (Private & Municipalities) IV. Level One, Full Activation A. The Emergency Management Division Guidelines to Fully Activate the County Emergency Operations Center The Emergency Management Director, in consultation with the County Manager, will make the decision when to activate the County Emergency Operations Center to a Level One. The following factors may be used in the decision-making process: 1. When a response to the hurricane event requires the resource and/or logistical support from a majority of the County’s Emergency Support Functions. 2. When the threat of a hurricane event necessitates evacuations that require resource support from neighboring counties. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 11 to Annex D B. The Governmental Employee Shelter Activation When the EOC becomes fully activated due to a hurricane threat and a major evacuation is anticipated, the County Manager may direct the opening of Employee Shelter(s) so that governmental services may be maintained/restored. C. The CCFCA’s Coordination of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Activities The CCFCA and Emergency Management Division will jointly determine the consolidated sheltering of CERTs. Once the Dependent and Independent Fire Departments activate their CERTs, the CERTs will fall under the operational control of the EOC. The CERTs will be assigned to perform the following activities: 1. Damage/Impact Assessment 2. “Comfort Station” support V. Resources All resource requests will be coordinated through ESF-7, Resource Support. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Page 12 to Annex D CHAPTER 4 – PUBLIC INFORMATION and INFORMATION FLOW I. General This Chapter provides how information will be shared during the activation of the County Emergency Operations Center, Emergency Support Function 14 (Public Information) has the responsibility to establish a mechanism that efficiently provides and disseminates information to the public. The County Manager will appoint a Lead Public Information Officer who will facilitate the logistical support and orientation for all Public Information Officers working in the County Emergency Operations Center. II. Unified Public Information When the County Emergency Operations Center is activated (Level 2 or 1), State, Local and County agencies will provide experienced Public Information Officers to Emergency Support Function 14 or provide access to Public Information Officers to respond to information requests of that particular agency. In the initial stages of any activation, a plan will be developed to mainly staff & activate the Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH). III. Information Flow A. Hurricane Response Activity 1. The Emergency Management Director will notify the State Watch Office of any significant activities that develop. 2. The ESF-14 Leader will notify the Emergency Operations Center Manager of any significant activities that develop. 3. The criteria for significant activities includes: a. Lives and/or property imminently jeopardized. b. Evacuation issues/problems. c. Injuries or deaths related to the hurricane event. d. Road closures to major thoroughfares. B. Situation Report Information The ESF-5, Planning & Intelligence, will produce situation reports. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E – Page 1 COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan FLOOD WARNING PROGRAM ANNEX E August 1, 2016 Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 2 COLLIER COUNTY FLOOD WARNING PROGRAM I. INTRODUCTION: A. Purpose 1. This program establishes a framework through which Collier County may prepare for, mitigate the impacts of, respond to, and recover from salt water or fresh water flooding conditions that could adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of Collier County residents and guests. 2. Provisions are made for the needed flexibility of direction, coordination and method of operation to enable government and non-government entities to accomplish their objectives of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This Annex also provides the framework for rendering support to other counties, municipalities, States and the Federal government in their flood management efforts. B. Scope The Collier County Flood Warning Program 1. Describes the various types of flooding that could occur and provides procedures for disseminating warning information and for determining, assessing and reporting the severity and magnitude of flooded areas, 2. Establishes the concepts under which the county government will maintain a 24/7 flood warning program, and 3. Creates a framework for expeditious, effective and coordinated employment of local resources. 4. The County Emergency Management Office administers/disseminates flood warning information to the municipalities and all response operations are conducted under the authority of this Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). C. Assumptions 1. The State agencies of Florida have certain expertise and resources at their disposal that may be used in relieving emergency or disaster related problems that are beyond the County's capability. 2. When the County declares a State of Local Emergency and requests State assistance following a flooding disaster, the Governor may issue an Executive Order about this emergency situation and the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) may be activated if conditions warrant. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 3 3. Should State assistance be inadequate to cope with the flooding disaster, the Governor will request Federal assistance under a Presidential Disaster Declaration. 4. The National Weather Service Office (NWSO), Miami, will issue flood advisory, watches and warning information to both Government and the citizens. The State Watch Office will follow-up the NWSO’s warning information with direct contact with the local Emergency Management Office (duty hours) or the Collier Sheriff’s Office (non-duty hour warning point). 5. South Florida Water Management District’s Big Cypress Basin office possesses real-time hydrologic data on its canal system so as to enable it run real-time flood modeling and decision-making support system for operation of the water control gates. Should the canals fill above the “red Alert level” and email warning will be sent to both the water management district representatives and the emergency management staff that “possible flooding conditions” exists. 6. Collier County does not have any major rivers, there are no stream profiles on the FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM), and rainfall-induced flooding produces very slow moving sheet-flow conditions that are shallow but can be broad in aerial extent. Collier County is basically its own watershed with very little contributing area of sheet-flow from Lee County to the north or Hendry County to the northeast. 7. The only flooding which poses a large-scale threat of loss of life stems from storm surge flooding. Flooding due to rainfall is typically nuisance flooding and may present only a threat to property. D. Situation 1. Because of the seasonal possibility of large scale flooding events within Collier County, the County must be adequately prepared to deal with, reduce vulnerability to, and recover from these flood emergencies. The Emergency Management Functions, within the County, must be coordinated as much as possible with other local government and non-governmental agencies as well as with the State Division of Emergency Management and surrounding jurisdictions to ensure the most effective preparation and use of manpower, resources, and facilities in response to flood threats and/or emergencies. 2. The subtropical weather of southwest Florida, its low relief topography and rapid human encroachments into our natural wetlands have made us vulnerable to frequent floods and droughts. The flood conveyance capacity of our drainage system, particularly in the Golden Gate Estates, is limited, as the canals were primarily constructed to lower the water table for building home-sites, and not designed to effectively carry runoff from large storm events. In spite of numerous enhancements made to our canals and water control structure network, Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 4 they remain deficient for providing the desired levels of flood protection of the Estates area. 3. The principal causes of flooding affecting Collier County are as follows: a. Hurricanes/tropical storms generate high winds, wave action along the coast and widespread flooding over much of the populated area of the County. Saltwater intrusion from the storm surge has the potential to affect 90% of the population depending on the intensity of the storm. Although tropical systems can form during any month of the year, hurricane/tropical storm season begins on June 1 and ends on November 30. b. Other weather systems, both tropical and non-tropical, which may or may not have an identifiable low pressure center, can produce up to 20 inches of rain over a three day period. These also occur primarily during the hurricane season, but can occur at other times. This flooding can cause canals and rivers to overflow their banks, and could be aggravated by slightly above normal tides. c. Severe thunderstorms, which are local in nature, can cause isolated flooding from torrential rains, and may or may not be accompanied by high winds. These usually occur late May to late September, but can occur at any time of the year. (See Appendix 1 of this annex for locations prone to standing water ponding.) II. HAZARDS ANALYSIS AND DEMOGRAPHICS A. Hazards Analysis 1. History: Hurricanes/tropical storms provide the greatest flood threats to Collier County. A listing of all hurricanes/tropical storms that came within 75 nautical miles of Naples since 1851 is provided as Appendix 1 to Annex E. The coastal area of Collier County has been exposed to 81 hurricanes/tropical storms since 1851. (Source: http://csc.noaa.gov/hurricanes). Type and frequency are as follows: Tropical Storm 26 (1 in 6.2 years) CAT I Hurricane 18 (1 in 8.9 years) CAT II Hurricane 9 (1 in 17.8 years) CAT III Hurricane 13 (1 in 12.3 years) CAT IV Hurricane 5 (1 in 32 years) CAT V Hurricane 10 (1 in 16 years) TOTAL 81 (1 in 1.98 years) [Hurricane Totals 55 (1 in 2.9 years)] Wind: SAFFIR/SIMPSON SCALE Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 5 (NOTE: This scale is a “wind-scale” and no longer tied to a corresponding storm surge in a real-time tropical event threatening. In the case of a real-time event, the storm surge will be described separately from the tropical wind storm category.) Category Wind Speed Tropical Storm 39-73 MPH Category 1 74-95 MPH Category 2 96-110 MPH Category 3 111-129 MPH Category 4 130-156 MPH Category 5 157+ MPH Storm Surge: The storm surge modeling tool we use, SLOSH, comes from the National Hurricane Center. In the sense of how we are using it here, it is a planning tool, only. When we are threatened by a tropical cyclone, we will speak of the storm surge threat separately from the category/type of the tropical cyclone. For the purposes here, using the surge modeling tool the hurricane center has modeled the worst case hurricanes possible to impact Collier County in order to give us the “Maximum of Maximum” (MOM) storm impacts per category of storm. (See Figure 22 in the Basic Plan) Residents living along the coast, south and west of US 41 have the most repeated threat potential from hurricanes or tropical storms. Using the Property Appraiser’s parcel data to identify residential structures the following represents the at-risk population estimate of those exposed to the worst of the worst case hurricane scenario for each category: the MOM. 70,140 (37%) are in a Tropical Storm/Category 1 zone. 142,701 (79%) are in a Category 2 zone. 176,736 (97%) are in a Category 3 zone. 178,624 (97%) are in a Category 4 zone. 179,015 (97%) are in a Category 5 zone. Due to the trajectory of these storms, it is estimated that only 3 storms caused significant storm surge flooding to the Greater Naples urban area. The urban area is defined as that area west of a line from one mile east of Collier Boulevard to the coast. The three storms that generated storm surge flooding were: Oct. 7, 1873 CAT 3 Surge est. 8 to 11 feet MSL Sept. 25, 1894 CAT 3 Surge est. 10 to 11 feet MSL Sept. 10, 1960 CAT 4 Max. Surge N Naples 11.86 feet MSL The Everglades City area has experienced many more flooding events. The most recent occurrence was on October 24, 2005 with Hurricane Wilma. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 6 a. A Category 2 land falling or paralleling storm with a storm surge of six to eight feet would force the evacuation of most of the coastal area to the south and west of US41. Goodland and Isle of Capri residents are particularly vulnerable since each area has only one ingress/egress road and both roads are susceptible to flooding when heavy precipitation coincides with the astronomical high tide. b. A Category 3 storm with a storm surge of 9-12 feet could result in the evacuation of 92% of the residential population within Collier County. c. The following hurricane/tropical storms affected coastal Collier County since 1960. (1) Hurricane Donna (Cat 3) - 1960 - was the last hurricane to affect Collier County to any great degree. It was a paralleling storm that hugged the coast from Everglades City to Bonita Shores. At the time of the hurricane, the County's population was approximately 15,600 including Everglades City and Naples. Storm surge with Donna occurred inland to the intersection of 6th Avenue South and 9th Street in the City of Naples. (2) Hurricane Isbell (Cat 2) - 1964 - entered the S.W. Florida coast just north of Cape Sable. There was little, if any, flooding associated with this storm over the populated area of the County. (3) Hurricane Alma (Cat 2) - 1966 - remained off the west coast of Florida until it made landfall south of Tallahassee. Its closest point of approach was 49 miles WSW of Naples. There are no reports of significant damage to Collier County. (4) Tropical Storm Abby - 1968 - was a paralleling storm off the Collier County coast. It had maximum winds of 57 knots and made landfall near Charlotte Harbor. No reports of significant flood damage to Collier County. (5) Tropical Storm Jenny - 1969 - had a similar track to Abby. It had maximum winds of 37 knots and made landfall near Sanibel Island. No reports of significant flood damage to Collier County. (6) "No-Name" (Subtropical Storm) - 1974 - The development of this subtropical storm followed by several days the development of a tropical storm near Vera Cruz, Mexico. As the tropical depression weakened, a new center formed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and moved rapidly northeastward to the Tampa Bay area. Sustained winds of 30-40 knots with gusts to 55 knots were reported in the Naples area. Tides of 2-4 feet above Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 7 normal occurred from Everglades City to Tampa Bay. Total rainfall ranged from 20 inches near Tampa to 10 inches elsewhere. There were three drownings in Florida and damage was estimated at $10,000,000 in western Florida. (7) Tropical Storm Dennis - 1981 - made landfall near Cape Sable and exited the peninsula near Daytona Beach. No flood damage to Collier County. Maximum winds 35 knots. (8) Hurricane Alberto (Cat 1) - 1982 - was a near miss for Collier County. It formed off the Yucatan Peninsula and began moving NE toward Collier County before turning west and dissipating. Only minor damage reported in Collier County. (9) No-Name Storm (Subtropical storm) - 1982 - developed in the Central Gulf of Mexico and passed substantially to our north making landfall near Cedar Key. There was a considerable amount of beach erosion along the coast from the Lee County line to Marco Island. There were no residential structures destroyed or substantially damaged. Several bulkheads and rock revetments experienced minor damage in Naples and Marco Island. Several man-made dune structures seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (Collier County) received minor damage at Vanderbilt Beach and Marco Island. Damage was estimated to be $100,000. (10) Tropical Storm Bob - 1985 - had maximum sustained winds of 40 knots as it made landfall near Lely Barefoot Beach in North Naples. There was widespread flooding throughout the area with rainfall amounts ranging from 7.7" at Naples, 11.6" at Marco Island, 14.5" at Everglades City, to over 22" at the Golden Gate Landfill. Although the sustained winds were only 40 knots, there were several gusts reaching hurricane limits. There were over 1,000 insurance claims filed, only 100 of them were for flood damages, the others were the result of wind and water damage. The Ritz Carlton was under construction at the time and most of the drywall had to be replaced. (11) Tropical Storm Keith - 1988 - formed south of Jamaica moved northwestward to the Yucatan Peninsula, before recurring to the northeast. It made landfall near Sarasota. In spite of the storm occurring at lunar high tide, there was little flood damage except to La Playa Inn on Vanderbilt Beach where 17 rooms, kitchen and dining room received some water damage. There was extensive erosion along the Naples beaches and the Naples Pier received about $500,000 in damages. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 8 (12) Tropical Storm Marco - 1990 - formed in the Florida Straits, south of Key West and moved north before reaching land at Cedar Key. Little damage was reported in Collier County even though the storm passed 43 miles to the west of Naples at time of astronomical high tide. (13) Hurricane Andrew (Cat 5) - 1992 - intensified into a major hurricane east of the Bahamas and made landfall near Homestead, Florida. The storm traversed the peninsula with the eye-wall remaining south of Everglades City and Marco Island before recurving towards Louisiana. Some coastal flooding occurred after the storm passed to our east because of strong onshore winds and high tides. Storm surge values were generally between 6-7 feet NAVD along the south coast from Goodland to Chokoloskee Island. (14) Tropical Storm Jerry - 1995 - formed in the western Bahamas and moved northward entering the east coast of Florida north of Palm Beach. As it moved northwestward a feeder band remained nearly stationary over southwest Collier County for nearly 18 hours. Twenty-four hour rainfall amounts ranged from 17 inches in East Naples to 6-7 inches in Immokalee. Widespread flooding occurred in East Naples, the City of Naples and Golden Gate from this 100-year storm. Within two days of this extraordinary event, sheet flow flooding from Hendry County and north Collier County created serious flooding problems along the Lee and Collier line in Bonita Springs as well as increased floodwaters in Golden Gate Estates and Immokalee. (15) Hurricane Opal - 1995 - formed in the Bay of Campeche in late September. It moved northeastward and deepened into a Category 5 hurricane during the morning hours of October 4th and came ashore near Fort Walton Beach as a Category 3 during the early evening hours on October 4th. The associated feeder band, like T.S. Jerry two months prior, dumped several inches of rain on already super saturated areas of North Naples, Big Corkscrew Island and Immokalee. Sheet flow flooding remained over much of the area near Immokalee Rd (CR 846) until mid- November. (16) Tropical Storm Gabrielle- Sept. 13-14, 2001- Gabrielle formed a low pressure system that developed along a decaying frontal system near Bradenton. As it moved southward, away from the peninsula, it developed Tropical storm characteristics. On Thursday afternoon at 5:00PM, the National Hurricane Center placed all of southwest Florida under a Hurricane Watch. At that time, Gabrielle was 150 miles west southwest of Naples. As Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 9 it began meandering to the Northeast it intensified into a Tropical Storm with winds of 60 knots. The closest point of approach to Naples (70nm west) occurred on Friday morning at 5:00AM. Although rainfall exceeded 8 inches at several locations throughout the County, precipitation amounts at the Government Center were near 2 inches for the 24 hours preceding the storm. The National Weather Service issued a Coastal Flood Watch for Collier County on Thursday afternoon. Water heights along the shore from the Lee County line to Chokoloskee Island were generally 3-5 ft above normal. It was estimated that approximately 50-60 residences and businesses experienced flooding and most of these structures were built prior to 1978 (pre-FIRM). Water depths in homes and businesses ranged from 1 inch to 18 inches. The timing of flooding conditions occurred on Friday morning from approximately 7:30AM in North Naples to 9:30AM in Everglades City. Waters began to recede after noon throughout the coastal area. (17) Hurricanes of 2004 – Hurricane Charley had the greatest direct impact on the residents of Collier County. Its effect on Collier County was that of an F-2 tornado since the hurricane wind field was so small. Only one to two feet of storm surge was reported, having no effect on the infrastructure. Personal property losses approximated $1.5M, mainly lanais. Debris costs to government were approximately $6.0M. No injuries were reported and the damaged area was around North Naples. The greatest general- population impacts of the storm were: loss of power and shortage of fuel for vehicles. Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne affected the northeast portions of the county slightly due mainly to the fact that we were on the dry-side of the hurricanes. One manufactured home in Immokalee sustained major damages from Hurricane Frances. No injuries were reported. No flooding problem was experienced in any of the three hurricanes. (18) Hurricane Wilma – 15-25 October 2005 - Wilma formed and became an extremely intense hurricane over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. It had the all-time lowest central pressure for an Atlantic basin hurricane, and it devastated the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula. Wilma also inflicted extensive damage over southern Florida. Maximum sustained winds were estimated to be near 105 kt (category 3 intensity) when landfall of the center occurred in southwestern Florida near Cape Romano around 1030 UTC 24 October. Greatest storm surge for Collier County was measured in Everglades City at 5.67 feet caused by the unusually fast forward speed.. The hurricane, continuing to Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 10 accelerate and now moving at a forward speed of 20 to 25 kt, crossed the southern Florida peninsula in 4.5 hours, with the center emerging into the Atlantic just southeast of Jupiter around 1500 UTC. Because the hurricane moved quickly across the southern Florida peninsula, however, the rain amounts were not very large in Florida and storm totals ranged generally from 3 to 7 inches. Wilma produces one tornado in Collier. That tornado resulted in the only direct fatality from the Hurricane. Overall, 10 more indirect fatalities resulted from Wilma; mostly due to cleanup efforts. (19) Tropical Storm Debby – June 23-24, 2012 - Debby originated from a broad area of low pressure that developed over the southern Gulf of Mexico during the third week of June. The low drifted slowly northward across the Gulf and finally strengthened to a tropical storm on the afternoon of June 23rd. At that time, the closest her wind-field was to Naples was 200 miles. That said, her biggest impact to Collier County was the three to three and a half foot of storm surge produced around Everglades City and three tornadoes, one of which affected East and North Naples communities. The storm surge produced resulted in about $110K in road, water pump damages as well as the associated labor and equipment costs of repair. This storm highlighted the fact that the storm doesn’t have to be near you to be dangerous and costly. (20) Tropical Storm Isaac – August 26-27, 2012: Isaac began as a tropical depression east of the Lesser Antilles on the morning of August 21, 2012, reaching tropical storm strength later that afternoon…Later, on Sunday, August 26th Isaac moved west- northwest through the Straits of Florida, with the center passing across the lower Keys late that afternoon. Isaac continued on a west-northwest track over the southeast Gulf of Mexico Sunday through Monday, August 27th. Rain reports for Collier County resulted in no impacts noted: Location Amount, in inches Monroe Station – SFWMD 5.02 ESE Rock Island – SFWMD 4.49 Miccosukee Indian Res. 4.15 Oasis Ranger Sta. 3.85 N. Blocks – Golden Gate Est. 3.53 & 3.37 Bunker Hill – SFWMD 3.29 Quail Creek Est. 3.06 Wind and Inland Flooding Impacts: Minor. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 11 Coastal Flooding Impact: Minor to Locally Moderate. An estimated 2-3 ft. storm surge impacted the coast during high tide Monday morning and midday, with the highest values from Marco Island to Everglades City and Chocoloskee. Inundation depths above ground ranged from less than a foot in Naples and Marco Island to as much as a few feet in Goodland and Everglades City. Water entered a few buildings in Goodland, but most flooding was confined to streets, marinas and yards. Less than 1,000 customers lost power. Collier experienced much coastal erosion to its beaches and Everglades City experienced damages to its roadways and the “grinders” associated with the sewage disposal systems for the homes. 3. Non-hurricane/Tropical Storm Flooding. Collier County is vulnerable to flooding from canal overflow and ponding. a. Flooding from canal overflow is almost always caused by heavy rains within a drainage area and the subsequent inability of a canal to accommodate the additional runoff. Canal overflow would occur following an extended period of rainfall causing most bodies of water within the County to overflow their banks. Collier County is not affected by rainfall falling outside of the County other than for south and east Lee County and western Hendry County. If this were to occur, some highways in the County may be inundated as well as several residential areas in close proximity to canals (Golden Gate City and Estates, Coconut River and those near the Cocohatchee and Gordon Rivers as well as the Henderson Creek area). b. Ponding occurs in low-lying areas that are characterized by poorly drained or super-saturated soils (high water table). This type of flooding in Collier County occurs throughout the County where elevations above sea level are low and/or the water table is high. c. Fresh water flooding occurred in late June 1992 in North Naples in areas that were not designated as being within the 100-year flood plain. Several homes reported flood damage in the 700 and 800 blocks of Naples Park between 93rd Ave. North and 108th Ave. North. Additional flooding occurred in the northeastern portion of Imperial Golf Estates. (A major capital improvement project was done in Naples Park in 1996- 97 to prevent a recurrence. This work included the installation of a major stormwater culvert and swale system designed to accommodate the runoff from a 10-year storm event.) d. Summers’ Flood Event #1: On September 29, 2003, a cold front stalled over central Florida…as a tropical disturbance moved from the southwest Caribbean Sea into the Southern Gulf of Mexico. This set up a southwest flow over southern Florida, and allowed for deep tropical moisture to move into south Florida from the Caribbean and southern Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 12 Gulf of Mexico. Rainfall amounts between 4 inches to 8 inches fell across Collier County. But western Collier County got the heaviest of the rainfall with locally 8 to 10 inches. Marco Island received 8.10 inches of rainfall, Bonita Springs received 5.00 inches of rainfall, and Naples set an all time daily rainfall record of 6.93 inches. By early afternoon, Collier County Emergency Management Officials were asking everyone in western Collier County to stay off the roads if they did not absolutely have to travel as canals were swelling and spilling over their banks, several roads were closed, and houses were starting to flood. There were also reports of people surfing in the streets in the Naples region of western Collier County. By evening, most of the rainfall had ended over Collier County…but it took until late Tuesday (September 30, 2003) to get the streets and back yards of houses to dry out. (Baxter, National Weather Service, Miami Florida) Although the high tides at the time of the rain event exacerbated the flooding, the effects were mainly flooded streets and sheet flow/ponding around the area. However, there were no reports of flooding in homes there were several motorists stranded for up to an hour in stalled vehicles. Regarding septic systems, the Dept. of Health said they didn’t get many calls and the ones with problems were the older septic design system, not the “mound-type” system. e. Tropical Storm Ernesto & Subsequent High Rainfall (August- September 2006): Tropical Storm Ernesto passed through southwest Florida on August 30, 2006. Although the storm did not bring any damaging wind, the amount of rainfall associated with and following the storm was very severe in parts of Collier County. In west central Collier County, the area lying east of County Road (CR) 951, west of State Road (SR) 29 and south of CR 846 received the brunt of rainfall. Nuisance flooding in low lying areas and inundation of roads in several parts of Northern Golden Gate Estates (NGGE) brought inconvenience to the residents of those areas. Hydrologic conditions of the central Collier County region had been wetter than normal prior to the storm. Beginning from July, the regional groundwater level started to rise above the long term average levels, and this trend continued to the end of the August. Such soggy antecedent moisture and saturated groundwater conditions could not absorb the high intensity rainfall and generated significant runoff with flash flooding and street inundation in several low lying areas of NGGE and adjacent outlying areas. Of particular note is the Rock Road – Acremaker Road area between Richards Road and Moulder Drive, south of CR 846, where the residents were inconvenienced for several days due to inundation of roads and yards. During the period August 1 to September 25, between 22.0 to 32.5 inches of rain fell generally in the GGE area. No homes were known to become flooded during this rain event. f. October 2011 – 6th Wettest October on record: A total of three heavy rain events took place over southern Florida in October, contributing to a Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 13 very wet October area-wide. Average rainfall for this month was 10.16” (Historical October average is 3.50”). It should be noted that during this month, damages due to some road and yard inundations were minimal and no homes were flooded. During the last weekend of October (Friday – Monday) the following rainfall totals were recorded in Collier County: Marco Island – 7.03” Isles of Capri – 6.74” Ave Maria – 6.12” North Naples – 6.03” Belle Meade – 5.96” Golden Gate Estates – 5.93” Immokalee – 4.69” East Naples – 4.56” g. September 6 - 8, 2013 – (Record rainfall in Naples was 6 September): Thunderstorms with torrential rainfall develop just inland of the Collier County coast during the late afternoon and early evening hours of Friday, Sept. 6th and moved west across northern portions of the Naples metro area. The communities of Golden Gate, Golden Gate Estates and North Naples were particularly affected, with North Naples being hardest hit. The atmosphere was quite unstable during the day of the 6th, but thunderstorm activity was delayed by the presence of slightly drier air aloft. However, by early evening a southward-moving gust front from earlier storms in North Florida made it to the Collier County region and interacted with the Gulf sea breeze which was located over the interior sections of the area. This convergence of the two air masses led to rapid development of the thunderstorms with torrential rainfall and near- continuous lightning. Isolated storms initially formed in the Golden Gate area between 630 and 7 PM, with a large cluster of storms organizing over the Everglades between 7 and 730 PM. Two thunderstorm cells developed in the North Naples area around 745 PM, with the main area of storms still to the east over the Everglades. Between 815 and 830 PM, the large area of storms over the Everglades converged with the cells over North Naples and 845 PM the entire area of storms expanded and intensified to cover the entire area from Vanderbilt Beach across to Golden Gate Estates, with a second area of intense storms in the East Naples area. The cluster of storms in the northern part of the county remained nearly stationary through 930 PM as it dumped excessive amounts of rainfall. It is during the time between 830 PM and 10 PM when the highest rainfall rates took place. Rains began to taper off after 10 PM but remained in the light to moderate range until shortly after midnight. Rainfall amounts in the North Naples/Naples Park/Palm River area ending at 8 AM on Saturday the 7th were between 5-10 inches, with a highest measured value of 9.45 inches near the intersection of Logan Blvd North and Immokalee Road (near Gulf Coast High School). Farther south, rainfall amounts in the 3-5 inch range were measured in the city of Naples, Golden Gate, Golden Gate Estates and East Naples areas. Extensive flooding was reported in the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 14 North Naples area with many streets closed due to high water. Damages and impacts: Two house fires from lightning, three water main breaks, one tree down across a roadway, and dozens of flooded roadways with people stranded in stalled cars. h. August 4, 2014 – (Record rainfall again set for Naples): A band of thunderstorms with very heavy rain set up from the Gulf of Mexico across western Collier County in association with a low pressure area over North Florida. The band moved little between 1230 PM and 3 PM as the individual storms moved east over the city of Naples. This “training-effect” of the heavy rain cells led to copious rain amounts and severe street flooding in parts of Naples and Golden Gate. Automobiles experienced the greatest amount of the damages. A couple businesses experienced minor water intrusion. The flooding threat left the area about 7:30 pm Monday night. Highest Measured Rainfall Amounts (source): •Naples Beach Hotel and Club: (CoCoRaHS): 7.00” •Naples Municipal Airport (NWS): 6.73” * •Gulfview Middle School (AWS): 6.25” •Golden Gate (CoCoRaHS): 5.89” (* Sets new daily record for August 4th as well as for any day in August.) •Measured rainfall of 4 inches in one hour (between 1 and 2 PM) is equivalent to a 50 to 100-year rainfall for Naples. B. Physical Characteristics Collier County is located on the southwest coast of Florida. Lee and Hendry Counties border it on the north, on the east by Miami-Dade and Broward, on the south by Monroe County and on the west by the Gulf of Mexico. 1. It has approximately 2,000 square miles of land area of which approximately 50 miles front on the Gulf of Mexico. 2. The topography of the land is basically flat ranging from 2-5 feet along the coast to 35-40 in the northeast section of the county near Immokalee. 3. There are no major rivers within the county. Most natural open water streams are south of US41 into the Ten Thousand Islands. The Gordon River enters into Naples Bay and extends northward to the vicinity of the Naples Airport. The Cocohatchee River in North Naples enters into the Gulf of Mexico via Wiggins Pass. The headwaters of each river are south and west of I-75. Water areas are generally comprised of man-made lakes, canals, and water retention areas with only a few natural lakes. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 15 4. The average elevation of the County is approximately 10-11 feet. However the average elevation of the highly developed areas of the urban area is 7-8 feet. 5. Poor drainage conditions exist in the western and southern areas of the County where the water table is high. During periods of heavy rain over extended periods of time, most natural and man-made bodies of water may overflow resulting in flooding. If this were to occur, several highways in the County (US41, SR92, Golden Gate Parkway, Everglades Boulevard) could be inundated as well as roads in several residential areas. (See Appendix 1 to this Annex). C. Land Use Patterns 1. There are twelve planning community areas within the unincorporated area of the County. The Naples urban area is bounded by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and south, CR846 to the north, and CR/SR951 to the east. The urban area consists of 7 of the 12 planning communities. Commercial areas are found along US41 from CR951 to the Lee County line, CR951 and Golden Gate Parkway in Golden Gate, Airport Road south of Golden Gate Parkway, North Collier Blvd. on Marco Island, and Main Street in Immokalee. The remainder of the urban area consists of single and multi-family residential areas. The Rural Estates Planning Community and the western portion of the Royal Fakapalm are primarily agricultural as are portions of the Corkscrew Planning Committee. Big Cypress is primarily undeveloped, protected wetlands. 2. Intensity of development within the County urban area is low, ranging from 3-6 dwelling units per acre. The only exceptions to this are Park Shore, Pelican Bay, Vanderbilt, and Marco Island beachfront property where density is 12-16 units per acre. D. Demographics (See Basic Plan, Figures #3 & 4) III. Concept of Operations A. Flood Threat Recognition comes to the Emergency Management Division via several sources: 1. Through the National Weather Service Office via its products: Flash Flood Warning and Flood Warning. The difference between "Flash Flood" and "Flood" is that the first is for flooding which occurs within 6 hours of the causative event (rain), while the second is for residual flooding greater than 6 hours after the end of the rain. The Flash Flood is much more common than the Flood, but we can get the second type especially in the days after a very wet tropical system in which a "sheet flow" can come down from Hendry County and flood inland sections of the county. I believe we saw this last in 2008 after TS Fay. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 16 2. South Florida Water Management District’s Big Cypress Basin - In order to provide more efficient flood protection services to residents, Big Cypress Basin staff worked with modeling, scientific data and information systems staff together developed a real-time flood modeling and decision-making support system for operation of the water control gates. The project uses the Basin's real-time meteorological and hydrologic data for surface and groundwater levels and gate positions to model and forecast both surface water and groundwater stages, and provide flood warning and real-time decision-making information to the field staff to operate the control gates accordingly. The information on real-time surface and ground water levels, flows, rainfall, gate positions and forecasted water levels are available through the following URL: http://my.sfwmd.gov/floodwatch/index.htm. 3. Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), the State Watch Office (SWO): FDEM has a staff meteorologist who could also be made available to the county and/or who also would issue flood –threat advisories to affected counties. B. This program is based on the principle that the County bears the initial responsibility for warning the public of a threat, disaster response and disaster recovery operations. As a corollary to this principal, each level within local government will accomplish the functions for which it is responsible, requesting relief from the next higher level of government only after resources at that level are inadequate to respond to the flood emergency or disaster. Requests for assistance will be made to the Florida Division of Emergency Management only after the Board of County Commissioners has declared a State of Local Emergency. C. The Emergency Management Director may activate portions of this plan, if a flood disaster/emergency threatens, prior to the Board of County Commissioner's decision to declaration a State of Local Emergency. In this situation, the Emergency Management Division will coordinate increased readiness procedures and such emergency response actions as might be necessary for the immediate protection of life and property. D. When State and local resources are determined to be inadequate to the flood emergency, the Governor will request assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The request will be based on local and state damage assessments and expenditure reports that are to be maintained and supplied by the County and/or State for each flood disaster related activity. E. When conditions are favorable for flooding from either storm surge flooding or from fresh water flooding from abnormally high amount of precipitation over a short period of time, the following actions will be taken by the agencies listed below: Agency Action Responsibility SFWMD’s Big Cypress Office 1. Monitor and/or run the Real-time Hydrologic Monitoring & Modeling system. 2. Keep the EOC informed of flooding threats and trends as they occur. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 17 3. Maintain the automated “Floodwatch System” and to keep the Emergency Management Division informed of changes to it or on- call personnel changes. Emergency Management (ESF-5) 1. To staff the Emergency Operations Center as the situation dictates. 2. Maintain the emergency contact name/number listing for those responsible for day-to-day operation of critical facilities/activities. 3. To notify all primary respondents as the situation dictates. 4. To advise the public of the situation through local radio and TV announcements. 5. To keep the Division of Emergency Management and other state agencies and adjacent counties informed of the situation. 6. Establish/maintain communications and warning capabilities with Collier County’s Critical Facilities. 7. When emergency management receives a “Floodwatch” message about possible flooding conditions developing from the Big Cypress Basin’s Water Management District (BCBWMD) Office, EM will contact the on-call BCBWMD representative to determine the potential impact of the alert. If flooding conditions threaten people or properties, EM will initiate immediate coordination calls with the affected fire district, the Sheriff’s office, the Collier County Public Information Officer, GMD’s Road Maintenance Division, Collier School District and/or the American Red Cross. 8. When registered Special Needs people are in the affected area, Emergency Management will initiate activities to protect that/those personnel, e.g., evacuation, sheltering, etc. 9. Based on anticipated weather conditions and the degree of soil saturation, adjust thresholds to the WeatherBug StreamerRT warning system to automatically send out information about the hazardous weather criteria being met. 10. Maintain the 15 shelter Disaster Resource Units (DRU) for rapid deployment should they not already be on site. Appendix 3 to this annex identifies the basic items maintained in each DRU. School Board (ESF-6) To provide shelter and bus transportation upon request from the Emergency Operations Center. American Red Cross (ESF-6) 1. To provide damage assessment information. 2. To provide manpower and supplies for opening and operation of shelters and to coordinate with Emergency Management Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 18 Division regarding the timing of such openings consistent with the dangers facing the people who will occupy the shelter. 3. To provide Mobile Feeding. 4. To provide immediate human needs relief, e.g., shelter, food, clothing etc. Collier County Sheriff’s Office (ESF-16) 1. To provide traffic control and security for those in the flood threatened area and shelter security. 2. Activate the IPAWS (Integrated Public Alerting & Warning System) when an imminent life or property threatening flooding situation exists. Fire/Rescue Districts (ESF-4) 1. To provide fire control and suppression throughout the County. 2. To provide rescue service as needed. 3. To provide fire safety control at each shelter. 4. To alert and coordinate Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) responses. Collier County EMS (ESF-8) 1. To provide ambulance/rescue service. 2. To provide first-aid support at each shelter. Growth Management Department (Traffic Operations) (ESF-3) 1. To assist in traffic control from the threatened area to safe refuge. 2. To assist in performing flood control measures. 3. To maintain in readiness for deployment the equipment in Appendix 4 to this Annex. Update the inventory as necessary. 4. To install traffic barriers to prevent non-essential traffic from entering flooded areas. Growth Management Department (Storm Water Management) (ESF-3) 1. To control water flow levels in all canals maintained by the County. 2. To conduct post-flooding analysis/mapping. Florida Department of Health - Collier (ESF-8) To provide health and environmental health services ESF-2 (Communications) To provide emergency communications support between the E.O.C., hospitals, and public shelters. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 19 Salvation Army (ESF-6) To provide mobile feeding sites. E. Meteorological information will be obtained from the Tropical Prediction Center for all flood threats resulting from tropical storms and hurricanes. Miami Weather (NWS), co-located with the Tropical Prediction Center, will issue flood advisories that may affect Collier County. Either weather agency may contact the Collier Emergency Management Division via telephone or ESATCOM. Additionally, the EOC obtains meteorological information and images via satellite and private meteorological services. Information may also be transmitted by the some communication method from Miami Weather Forecast Office to the EOC. 1. Hurricanes and their related storm surge and precipitation amounts provide the greatest flood threat to citizens of the County. Therefore, all tropical advisories will be monitored and plotted on the hurricane-tracking chart in the EOC and disseminated to the public via Collier County government web pages and through public safety announcements. 2. The Tropical Prediction Center (TPC) issues advisories at least at six -hour intervals during the progress of all tropical depressions, storms, and hurricanes. The NHC also issues tropical and hurricane "Watch" or "Warnings" for specified coastal areas. a. When a watch or warning has been issued for Southwest Florida, the Emergency Management Director will assess the situation and if appropriate, call a briefing session with all concerned agencies. b. The Public Information Officer (PIO) in coordination with the Board of County Commissioners and Emergency Management Division will begin issuing news advisories. c. Depending on the situation, all advisories received from Miami Weather and the Tropical Prediction Center will be retransmitted via electronic means to all public safety and media outlets that service Collier County. These advisories should be aired immediately. d. Announcement of pertinent information in the Collier County "All Hazards Guide" and the local telephone book will be brought to the public's attention. These spot announcements to the various media sources will attempt to reinforce the ongoing educational effort during the year. e. The Emergency Management Director provides information to the general public upon demand. The department provides scores of hurricane seminars per year. In each seminar, storm surge vulnerability is stressed, along with flood insurance requirements and methods to Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 20 mitigate against any damage from flooding. In these talks to the community, information on evacuation routes and shelters is also made available. f. During periods of Emergency Operation Center activations, WGCU-FM (local EAS station) and local Government Access cable television (Channel 11/16) may broadcast directly from the EOC and/or get emergency public information directly from the EOC. All other media sources will be fed information from the EOC to the adjoining media room and also via facsimile to the various media outlets within the County. 3. Since the main flood threat to the lives of Collier County residents is from tropical cyclones, every effort will be made to educate the public concerning this threat. Meetings with schools, civic and religious groups, fraternal organizations, homeowner associations, etc. will accomplish this formal education process. Additional tips will be provided via radio "spots", posted through the Emergency Management Division’s Home Page and helpful hints to the daily and/or weekly papers. In all of their presentations, the following items will be stressed: a. Areas which are particularly vulnerable to flooding from riverine flooding or storm surge. b. The use of pre-disaster checklists c. Flood and homeowners insurance d. Preparedness tips to minimize disaster related losses e. Shelter locations and evacuation routes f. Recovery information g. Point of contact for additional information F. Requests for State Assistance must be forwarded to the State Emergency Operations Center for assessment and approval before deployment of State resources. Prior to requesting State Assistance, the current situation must be identified, the current and projected resource needs must be assessed, and a time frame, indicating how long the State’s resources would be needed, must be identified. IV. Execution This Annex to the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan addresses the Collier County Flood Warning Program through the following elements: Public Information, Flood Threat Recognition Phase, Emergency Warning Dissemination and Other Response Efforts. A. Public Information Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 21 Increasing the public's awareness of flood hazards and the methods they can use for protecting themselves from the effects of these hazards is a necessary part of reducing disaster potential, preparing for disasters as well as a continuing responsibility of public officials. In addition, providing accurate information immediately before, during and after a flood emergency or disaster is very important for saving lives, minimizing property damage, and informing people of various assistance programs. This Annex describes the organization and procedures for providing accurate information to the public. 1. Responsibilities: The Emergency Management Division is responsible for coordinating public information programs and related activities with regard to flood emergencies or disasters. This responsibility includes public awareness programs in schools, civic and fraternal organizations, community subdivisions and other organized groups including radio and television when requested. 2. The Public Information Network, comprised of members of the following agencies, will meet periodically before, during and after a flood emergency to minimize conflicting information being disseminated. Members of the network who have assigned public relations tasks include but are not limited to the following: a. Board of County Commissioners b. County Manager or his representative c. Emergency Management Director d. Stormwater Management Director e. SFWMD - Big Cypress Basin Director f. Superintendent of Schools or his representative g. Red Cross Disaster Chairman h. Growth Management Department Administrator i. Sheriff or his representative j. President, Collier Fire Chiefs’ Association k. Communications & Customer Relations representative 3. An "All Hazards Guide" is updated and reprinted as necessary for distribution to residents and guests of Collier County. Every effort is made to deliver this information to people living in flood-prone areas. Disaster related information is also provided to recipients of the local telephone system in their books. 4. Special information programs have been established for people with special needs such as the elderly and the handicapped. These individuals are encouraged to pre-register with the Emergency Management Division who will advise them of their vulnerability to flooding and items that they should bring to a shelter in the event of an evacuation. The Emergency Management Division will also arrange for transportation to shelter if needed. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 22 5. During an emergency/disaster that might result in flooding over parts of the community, a team of telephone operators will be assembled near the EOC to provide information to the public. At least one of the operators will be bilingual (English-Spanish). B. Flood Threat Recognition Phase As previously mentions, we have several main sources for flood threat recognition within Collier. They are: the National Weather Service Office in Miami, SFWMD’s Big Cypress Basin’s office in Naples and the FDEM State Watch Office in Tallahassee. This phase may have several pre-disposing conditions whereby any or all of those conditions being absent may not warrant a flood threat concern. The following conditions, compounded, increase the flood threat concern and result in the associated Emergency Operations Center activation level. 1. Saturated grounds due to prolonged rainy periods whereby absorption into the soil is hindered or a period of three to five inches of rain has fallen within 48 hours and more rain is anticipated. 2. High tides occurring during the heaviest rainy periods. 3. A series of rain clouds producing a “training effect” over an area. C. Level Three, Monitoring Phase 1. Emergency Management will: a. Daily, review the day’s short-term forecast at the Miami Weather Forecast Office’s home page and repost the daily weather graphic (http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mfl/) on the Collier County Emergency Management home page and monitor the flooding potential. If a flood threat presents itself, disseminate the information to those most affected via means identified in the Basic Plan-[e.g., NOAA Weather Radio (EAS), Emergency E-Mail, Blast fax lists for government entities and vulnerable areas such as mobile home parks, etc.] b. Collaborate with both the National Weather Service Office in Miami, SFWMD’s Big Cypress Basin office and the State Warning Point on any significant flooding event potential. When a potential major flooding type event threatens, both the Miami Weather Service Forecast Office and the Big Cypress Basin of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) will most likely institute once a day webinar and/or conference calls with the threatened counties. (NOTE: Both the Miami Weather and the SFWMD offices will provide the best area rainfall forecasts as well as the best real- time rainfall rates for each weather event. They both have access to, and/or possess, rainfall and waterway gauges to monitor real-time water impacts.) Using GIS-type mapping products depicting areas susceptible to past flooding events, alert response agencies based on the weather forecasts. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 23 c. Activate the Collier Storm Spotter/Skywarn network either based on the daily Hazardous Weather Outlook product of the National Weather Service or when weather situations deteriorate. Initiate conference calls with the various fire districts, as needed. d. STORM SURGE: Regarding the flood threats from storm surge, the graphic below depicts the timeline and the modeling tools from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) that the local emergency management office uses to estimate and refine potential storm surge impacts. (For more information about storm surge, go to: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ssurge/index.shtml). Then as the NHC makes computer runs associated with a particular storm, they will make the “REX-files” available to the local emergency management office in order to better approximate the flooding potential. Ultimately, within, 24 hours of a landfall, the local Miami Weather Forecast Office will provide the most precise surge impacts to the local jurisdiction in the form of probability statements and graphics. 2. GMD, Construction & Maintenance Division will maintain 24-hrs X 7-day capability to respond to public regarding roadway concerns. D. Emergency Warning Dissemination During this phase the National Weather Service Office, Miami has issued a “Flood Watch” and the conditions cited above are the most unfavorable for the grounds Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 24 absorbing a heavy rainfall amount and therefore roadway flooding, etc., will present hazardous/adverse conditions to the public. 1. Level Two, Partial EOC Activation a. Emergency Management will: 1) Continue with all activities in the Threat Recognition Stage. 2) Critical Facilities: The Collier County Emergency Management Division maintains a listing of Critical Facilities which could be affected by flooding in the County. This listing is considered sensitive and is protected under HSPD 5 and is available For Official Use Only. In the event of a flooding risk to one or more of these facilities, they will be notified as soon as possible in advance of the risk in accordance with the emergency notification protocols outlined in the CEMP and Emergency Management Division SOGs. Due to the critical nature of the function or service provided by these facilities, every attempt will be made to give as much advanced warning as possible so that preventative measures can be taken to protect the facilities. 3) Provide regular updates via E-mail/Web Page to staff and the local governmental agencies and Critical Facilities. 4) Assemble complete EOC staff and brief at the initial stages of Level 2 Activation, depending on the anticipated severity of the event. 5) Consider activating the Collier Emergency Information Hotline. 6) Monitor the flooding event and disseminate details of the impacts via all means identified in the “Basic Plan”. 7) Continue to collaborate with both the National Weather Service Office in Miami, SFWMD’s Big Cypress Basin office and the State Watch Office on the flooding event potential and adjacent counties. 8) Activate the SkyWarn Weather Spotter Network to report rainfall impacts. 9) Pre-identify and coordinate shelter openings, as required. 10) Initiate actions for a Local State of Emergency, if warranted. b. Municipal liaisons will be requested to monitor the event’s impact on their jurisdiction from the EOC. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 25 c. Collier Schools will be asked to remain at the EOC while school delay/closing decisions are anticipated/made. d. Collier Fire Chiefs will alert their CERTs regarding impact reporting and first responder assistance requirements. e. American Red Cross will: 1) Open shelters as requested. 2) Provide humanitarian services, as necessary. 3) Provide a liaison to the EOC, as requested. 4) Keep the Emergency Management office advised on the findings from the Damage Assessment. f. Collier Sheriff will: 1) Provide liaison to EOC when requested. 2) Coordinate traffic activities g. Growth Management Department, Traffic Operations, will: 1) Provide a liaison to the EOC to maintain an accurate, current listing of affected roadways. 2) Take reports from the public regarding flooding (252-8924/25) and maintain flooding records. 3) Blockade flooded roadways as necessary. 4) Submit projects and mitigation initiatives to the Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group when called. E. Other Response Elements 1. Skywarn Spotter Network: In support of the National Weather Service Office, Miami, Collier County conducts hazardous weather spotter training to residents annually, or upon special request of the Emergency Management Office. At this time, there are over 150 trained spotters. The spotters receive regular weather information updates from the EOC, via E-mail, and through the other media. 2. Emergency Alerting System: The EOC has drafted an operating procedure, agreed upon by the NWS, Miami, for activating the Emergency Alerting System and thereby transmits warning and instructions via the weather radio, TV, radio, Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 26 and cable media. Not only is the general public alerted, so are the specialized teams, e.g., SkyWarn and Amateur radio, CERTs. V. Administration A. Records Preservation and Restoration 1. All County Agencies must ensure the protection of vital records so that normal activities may continue after the disaster. These records may also be necessary for the rapid recovery from the effects of a flood disaster. 2. Damage to records is most often the result of fire and water damage. These records can often be saved by prompt salvage action. Technical guidance for records preservation can be obtained from the Emergency Management Division or the State Division of Emergency Management. B. Funding and Accounting 1. Collier County may allocate and expend funds as appropriate for local emergency operations. Depending on the onset of hazardous weather conditions, either of the following mechanisms may be implemented: a. Local Accounting Complete accurate accounts of emergency expenditures and obligations, including personnel and equipment costs, must be maintained. Despite the difficulty in maintaining such records in the stress of an emergency, accurate accounting is required to identify and document: 1) Funds for which Federal reimbursement will be requested should a Presidential Declaration be made and, 2) Those funds eligible for reimbursement under emergency or major disaster project applications. b. Cost Centers Given the time and the urgency of the threat, the Emergency Management Director may ask the Office of Management & Budget, via the County Manager, to establish and fund any, or all, of the following types of cost centers: 1) Departmental – This cost center will be used to fund all normal departmental activities in response to, or associated with, the hazardous weather event. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 27 2) Debris Removal - This cost center draw will be limited only to those activities associated with debris removal, e.g., contractor services or force labor. 3) Emergency Management – This fund will be directly managed by the Emergency Management Office/EOC Operations. This fund will be used for indirect expenses in response to the event for those items/activities not normally performed by day-to-day government, e.g., shelter operations, outfitting impact assessment teams with safety gear, etc. 2. Governmental/private non-profit agencies not under the Board of County Commissioners, should establish cost-capture mechanisms similar to that described above. When the EOC is activated, all agencies should regularly, or upon request, report their expenditures so that the total budgetary impact to the County can be related to the State Emergency Operations Center. C. Exercises & Drills 1. General: Generally, during the Statewide Hurricane Exercise, elements of the Flood Warning Program will be tested and the Post-Exercise Report will highlight those relevant portions of the plan. If the State opts not to conduct a Statewide Hurricane Exercise in the course of a year, then the County Emergency Management Director will develop and conduct it. Exercises and drills must be conducted at least annually to verify the flood warning program and the skills of emergency response personnel. Results of these exercises and drills provide a basis for changes to the flood warning program, implementing procedures, and for further scheduling of training for response personnel. A real -world flooding type event can fulfill the exercise requirement provi ding a written After Action Critique was accomplished and timelines for corrective actions were established. 2. Concept of Operations: a. Exercise: An exercise is an event that tests the integrated response capability and major elements within the flood warning program. The emergency preparedness exercise will simulate a flood emergency that may result in massive evacuation and sheltering. Generally, exercises will be during the Statewide Hurricane exercise scheduled between April and June of each year. b. There are three types of exercises: 1) Full scale exercise is designed to fully demonstrate the emergency capabilities of appropriate agencies and organizations. Mobilization of local personnel and resources will be demonstrated. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 28 2) Functional exercise is designed to demonstrate one or more functions or capabilities specified in the flood warning program. Mobilization of local personnel and resources will be limited. 3) Table-top exercise is a simulation in which response activities are discussed. There is no mobilization of emergency personnel and resources. c. Scheduling and Scenario Development 1) Exercises will be scheduled jointly by the response agencies and the Emergency Management Division. Scenarios will be developed with inputs from all participating agencies. Scenarios will be varied from year to year such that all major elements of the flood-warning program are tested during a four-year period. The scenarios will include, but not be limited to the following: (a) Objectives of the exercise and appropriate evaluation criteria, (b) Date, time, place and participating organizations, (c) The simulated event, (d) A time schedule of real and simulated events, (e) A narrative summary describing the conduct of the exercises, and (f) A description of arrangements for advance materials to be provided to observers. d. Critiques and Reports: A critique will be conducted after each exercise to evaluate the capability of each participating agency to implement plans and procedures. When written, a copy of the After Action Report and/or critique will be provided to each floodplain manager. e. Drills: A drill is a supervised instruction of a supervised instruction period aimed at developing, testing, monitoring technical skills necessary to perform emergency response operations. In addition to the required exercise, drills will be accomplished at the frequencies listed below: Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 August 1, 2016 Annex E, page - 29 1) Communications between the shelters and the EOC will be conducted at least annually before the hurricane and/or flood season. Communications between agencies, State and other EOCs are conducted daily. The tests of communications with on-scene teams will be part of the flood exercise. 2) Medical drills involving simulated injuries will be conducted as part of the exercise. D. Maintenance and Auxiliary Activation of the Collier County Flood Warning Program The Emergency Management Division will maintain and update this program annually or as required. The program review will be accomplished by May 1st of each year. Portions of this program will be activated periodically in order to conduct exercises as part of the review process. This is done at least during the annual statewide hurricane exercise. E. Authorities and References: 1. Public Law 91-606, Disaster Relief Act of 1970 2.

Collier County Area Command is established by declaration of a County Fire Chief / Operations Chief in cooperation with Collier County Emergency Management upon determination that the impact of an incident or multiple incidents are competing for the same resources or have diminished County resources to the point of effecting service delivery. The purpose of an Area Command is either to assist in the management of multiple incidents that are each being handled by a separate ICS organization or to support the management of a very large or complex incident. Examples which may dictate establishment of Area Command: 1. Large Commercial or Highrise Fire 2. Two working structure fires, one beyond two alarm 3. MCI Level II or higher , see CCFCA MCI Plan 4. Large or multiple wildland fire incidents 5. Hazardous Materials Incident involving significant evacuation 6. Natural Disaster 7. Public Health Emergency A. RESPONSIBILITIES. Area Command does not have operational responsibilities. For the incidents under its authority, the Area Command is tasked with logistical responsibilities. Some but not all responsibilities include: Supports overall agency incident-related priorities; Works in conjunction with the FFCA Region 6 Collier County Coordinator; Allocates critical resources according to the established priorities; Ensures that incidents are properly managed Ensures that incident management objectives are met and do not conflict with each other or with policies; Identifies critical resource needs and reports them to the interagency coordination system (generally EOCs); Ensures that short-term “emergency” recovery is coordinated to assist in the transition to full recovery operations; and Provides for personnel accountability and a safe operating environment Area Command develops an action plan detailing incident management priorities, needs, and objectives. This plan should clearly state policy, objectives, and priorities; provide a structural organization with clear lines of authority and communications; and identify incident management functions to be performed by the Area Command (i.e., public communications). Annex F – Page 4 B. AREA COMMAND PHASES Phase I Area Command will be activated when multiple agencies are working a fire or an emergency incident(s). The incident(s) is expected to be contained within the same day and no resources have been requested outside the Lee and Collier County area. The Area Commander shall not be involved with the active incident(s) and must be a Deputy Chief level position or higher. The purpose of phase I area command is to monitor available resources remaining within the County. If there is an additional request for resources by an incident commander, the area command will notify dispatch of specific units to respond to fill the request. In the absence of area command, dispatch will follow their normal communications manual protocols and CAD recommendations. It is important for area commanders to recognize the distribution of similar apparatus type’s ex. Brush trucks and assign resources from agencies throughout the county to ensure remaining coverage county wide. Area command will have the authority to request apparatus, resources, and manpower from one district or municipality to cover another fire jurisdiction. In the event area command has exhausted all its county resources, they have the authority to request out of county resources to provide county wide fire and medical coverage through County EM and/or in accordance with the SERP. The area command needs to communicate with district supervisors such as Battalion Chiefs and Captains on a regular basis to update staffing changes or and apparatus needs. Phase II Area Command will be activated when multiple agencies are working multiple large scale incidents or a long term incident that is beyond its first day and is remaining active and requiring additional resources. Area Command phase II may be established at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) / Area Command Center. The duties of Area Command will be the same as outlined in Phase I but expected to last for longer durations of time and anticipated need for more out of county resources. The Collier County Fire Chiefs will staff a Phase II Area Command during anticipated natural disaster, ex. Hurricanes. In these circumstances Area Command will be staffed by one Chief Officer, one assistant and EMS Com assigned to EOC during activation. Area Command will operate in conjunction with County Coordinator to coordinate ESF 4, ESF 9, ESF 8 and ESF 10 functions. Area Command will ensure countywide coordination to maintain jurisdictional coverage through communication with all county agencies. Annex F – Page 5 Phase II Organization C. ORGANIZATION The Unified Area Command organization operates under the same basic principles as ICS. Typically, Area Command will comprise the following key personnel, all of whom must possess appropriate qualifications and certifications. Positions are filled as needed: Positions Unified Area Command is responsible for the overall direction of the incident management teams assigned to the same incident or to incidents in close proximity. This responsibility includes ensuring that conflicts are resolved, that incident objectives are established, and that strategies are selected for the use of critical resources. The Unified Area Command is also responsible for coordinating with Federal, State, local, tribal, and participating private organizations. 1. Area Commander: will be staffed by a Deputy Chief or higher rank with a formidable knowledge of County Fire Rescue operations. 2. Collier County EMS Com will staff Unified Area Command responsible for deployment and response of Collier County EMS resources and coordination with ESF-8 3. Area Command Assistant: will be staffed by an Officer with a formidable knowledge of County Fire Rescue Operations. The Unified Area Command team will evaluate and address the following ICS functions: 1. Logistics Unified Area Command will identify Logistics needs to provide facilities, services, and materials and ensure the effective allocation of critical resources and supplies among Unified Area Command ESF 4 ESF 9 ESF 8 (EMS Units) ESF 10 (Hazmat Team) Area Commander EMS Com Assistant Area Commander Annex F – Page 6 the incident management teams. 2. Planning Unified Area Command collects information from various incident management teams to assess and evaluate potential conflicts in establishing incident objectives, strategies, and priorities for allocating critical resources. 3. Resources Unified Area Command tracks and maintains the status and availability of critical resources assigned to each incident under the Area Command. 4. Situation Unified Area Command monitors the status of objectives for each incident or IMT assigned to the Area Command. 5. Public Information Unified Area Command may establish a PIO to provide public information coordination between incident locations. The PIO will serve as the point of contact for media requests to the Area Command. The PIO may also serve as part of a Joint Information Center (JIC). During Phase II activation, release of public information will be coordinated through Collier County Emergency Management. D. LOCATION Collier County Unified Area Command: Area Command Phase I may be operated from a fire station, chief’s vehicle or the Mobile Command unit. Area Command Phase II is operated at the Collier County EOC, Area Command Center. E. AREA COMMAND DIVISIONS Upon activation of Area Command Phase II, Area Command may organize the County into geographical divisions. Area Command will coordinate response activities within these divisions with an assigned Division Officer. Divisions and Stations are organized as follows: Division A Division B Division C Division D Division E 10 42 43 1 50 12 73 45 2 51 30 71 44 22 90 31 70 40 21 23 32 46 20 61 72 60 24 /47 F. REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS When an Area Command is involved in coordinating multiple incident management activities, the following reporting relationships will apply: Annex F – Page 7 The ICs for the incidents under the Area Command’s authority report to the Area Commander. The Area Commander is accountable to the agency(s) or to the jurisdictional executive(s) or administrator(s). If one or more incidents within the Area Command are multijurisdictional, a Unified Area Command should be established. In this instance, ICs would report to the Unified Area Commander for their jurisdiction G. AREA COMMAND ACTIVATION Upon determination by County Fire Chief(s) or by request of the Incident Commander, Area Command will be established in the following manner. 1. The Collier County Dispatch Center is notified, County Fire all-call page is activated notifying stations of Area Command activation 2. Area Command is assigned a TAC Channel (TAC 13) 3.

FORWARD Influenza viruses are unique in their ability to cause sudden pervasive infection in all age groups on a global scale. Rapid rates of evolution in the genes which encode the major antigens of the virus can lead to the emergence of annual influenza epidemics which kill, on average, 20,000 Americans. More importantly, segmentation of the virus genome has periodically led to the exchange of gene segments between animal and human viruses during chance co-infections resulting in the sudden and unpredictable emergence of pandemics or global epidemics. Four such pandemics have occurred since 1900, one of which was the infamous “Spanish flu of 1918”, was responsible for more than 20 million deaths worldwide, primarily in young adults. Although mortality rates associated with the more recent pandemics of 1957 and 1968 were reduced in part by antibiotic therapy for secondary bacterial infections and more aggressive supportive care, both were associated with high rates of morbidity and social disruption. The recent H1N1 Influenza Pandemic of 2009 was characterized by relatively mild infection rates with 90 percent of all cases occurring in the population under 65 years of age and the majority among those 18-64 years of age. The responders in an actual or suspected pandemic event will be from local emergency and essential service agencies and organizations. For this reason, Collier County and its cooperating municipalities have established and will maintain a comprehensive program to prepare for, respond to and manage the impacts of a public health emergency. The program provides for: Continuing assessment of essential service delivery to the community, Planning and training to prepare for and respond to such events, and Establishing the operational concepts to be utilized to manage an actual or threatening event. If needed, state and/or Federal assistance will be mobilized to support the local command structure if we are the initially impacted community. If not, we need to sustain essential services on our own. Collier County’s pandemic response program relies on the authorities, operational concepts, organizational responsibilities, and resources available through the County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). For this reason, this document is an annex to the CEMP, and supplements the CEMP by defining the special program characteristics and response operations that may be necessary to manage the consequences of a public health emergency occurring or affecting the county. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 2 II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Collier County Pandemic Response Annex establishes the operational concepts to guide the Collier County community through this protracted disaster. Additionally, this document provides for local agency participation of the escalation of the response to the incident to include state and Federal response organizations. The annex provides the specialized guidance needed by response and support agencies in the event of a pandemic event occurring in or impacting Collier County. The emphasis of the annex is to guide the specialized and unique operations conducted by the Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) established by the Collier County CEMP, and it is not intended to replace the field operations guides currently used by first responders. The Collier County Pandemic Response Annex has been developed and is consistent with the operational concepts, response and organizational structure used in the State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and the State of Florida Department of Health’s Action Plan for Pandemic Influenza. It is also consistent with the concepts and structure to be used by Federal agencies responding to a public health emergency at the County level.

Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 6 IV. INTRODUCTION This annex to the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan guides the actions of local response agencies and organizations through the periods of a pandemic event. It is focused on actions to reduce the impact of the event efficiently and safely. All responders will follow the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the safety guidelines established by their agencies and/or at the scene of the incident by the incident commander. Due to the protracted nature of the pandemic environment, a variety of unique emergencies will confront essential and emergency services. For this reason, special planning, additional cross-training, and equipment are required to ensure the continuity of essential, public safety, health, and medical services. Depending on the characteristics of an incident occurring during the pandemic event, the organic capabilities and resources of Collier County response organizations may be exceeded and we must plan to think and respond outside-the-box to prevent service delivery interruptions. Depending on the period/phase of the pandemic we find ourselves, outside resource assistance to support our operations may be slim to none. This annex guides the actions of Collier County response organizations in a broad sense. Each agency is expected to develop its own internal continuity of operations guidelines and/or courses of action for its function. General response operations necessary to prevent or mitigate the consequences of a pandemic event can be derived from the “Basic Plan” of Collier County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, the Department of Health in Collier County Pandemic Influenza Plan and guidance from the Florida Department of Health. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 7 V. SITUATION The Community Preparedness Task Force initiated by the Department of Health in Collier County in 2000, has been meeting and developing plans to meet the challenges posed by an influenza epidemic or pandemic. These planning efforts have resulted in this annex to the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan in order to clarify expected roles and responsibilities accepted by those responsible for implementation. The Task Force recognizes that what the health agencies might initially feel they are dealing with a “flu” epidemic; however, they could find out they are dealing with an Influenza Pandemic when the laboratory results indicate the presence of the novel virus. As the initial affected community we could expect to receive plenty of external assistance in an effort to contain the spread of the virus. However, should the virus erupt elsewhere and threaten its spread to our community we expect no outside assistance to prepare or respond to that threat. Therefore, the situation is that the local response agencies of Collier County will need to focus on the prevention, continuation of essential services and containment of a pandemic event until we enter the post pandemic period. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 8 VI. ASSUMPTIONS An influenza pandemic is unlike any other public Health emergency or community disaster. These assumptions form the framework within which the operational concepts of the Collier County Pandemic Response Annex have been established. There will be very little warning. Most experts believe that we will have little time between the time that a novel influenza strain is identified and the time that outbreaks begin to occur in the U.S. Outbreaks will most likely occur simultaneously throughout much of the U.S. preventing shifts in human and material resources that normally occur with other natural disasters. The effect of influenza on individual communities will be relatively prolonged—weeks to months—when compared to minutes to hours observed in most other natural disasters. The impact of the next influenza pandemic could have a devastating effect on the health and well being of the American public. DHHS estimates that in the United States alone: Up to 90 million persons will suffer from illness Approximately 45 million persons will require outpatient medical care Between 865,000 and 9,900,000 persons will require hospitalization. Between 128,750 and 1,485,000 will require ICU Care while between 64,875 and 742,500 will need mechanical ventilation Between 209,000 and 1,903,000 persons will die Effective preventive and therapeutic measures—including vaccines and antiviral agents—will likely be in short supply, as may be antibiotics to treat secondary infections. Health-care workers and other first responders will likely be at even higher risk of exposure and illness than the general population, further impeding the care of victims. Widespread illness in the community will also increase the likelihood of sudden and potentially significant shortages of personnel in other sectors who provide critical community services: military personnel, police, fireman, utility workers and transportation workers to name a few. An effective response to an influenza pandemic will require the coordinated efforts of a wide variety of organizations – private as well as Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 9 public, and health as well as non-health related. (Food service industry, transportation industry, etc.) An influenza pandemic in Collier County will present a massive test of the emergency preparedness system. Although pandemic influenza strains have emerged mostly from areas of Eastern Asia, variants with pandemic potential could emerge in the Western Hemisphere, as did the H1N1 strain in 2009 when it appeared in Mexico. All of Collier County and its neighboring jurisdictions may be affected simultaneously. Collier County is particularly vulnerable at the peak of the influenza “season” which coincides with peak tourist and part-year resident increases in population. Medical facility and hotel/motel infrastructures will likely be overburdened due to normal tourist and part-year resident population increases. There may be critical shortages involving morgue capacity and/or temporary holding sites with refrigeration for storage of bodies and other resources. Assuming that prior influenza vaccination(s) may offer some protection (even against a novel influenza variant) the annual influenza vaccination program, supplemented by pneumococcal vaccination when indicated, will remain a cornerstone of prevention. The Federal government will likely not assume the costs for purchase of vaccines, antiviral medications and related supplies. In Collier County among the resident population in 2011: Up to 102,409 residents will suffer from illness Approximately 61,445 residents will require outpatient medical care Between 996 and 11,262 residents will require hospitalization Between 148 and 1,689 residents will require ICU Care while between 75 and 849 will need mechanical ventilation Between 238 and 2,166 deaths will occur above the expected number of annual deaths due to influenza. When adjustments are made using a weighted average to account for changes in Collier County’s seasonal population: Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 10 Up to 123,457 will suffer from illness Approximately 74,074 will require outpatient medical care Between 1,200 and 13,577 will require hospitalization Between 179 and 2,036 will require ICU care and between 90 and 1,022 will need mechanical ventilation. Between 287 and 2,610 deaths will occur above the expected number of annual deaths due to influenza Note: Estimates are based on interpolation from past pandemics in the U.S. and do not include the potential impact of interventions available today. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 11 VII. PURPOSE The Pandemic Response Annex to the Collier County CEMP defines the scope of a pandemic event response operation lead by the Department of Health - Collier/ Florida Department of Health with coordination from local, state and federal agencies as needed. The annex establishes the policies, programs, and procedures that will be utilized by the county and municipal agencies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a threatened or actual emergency resulting from a public health emergency. It also defines the roles of the local agencies and organizations in the development, implementation, and maintenance of the annex. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 12 VIII. SCOPE The scope of this annex is to guide the special or unique actions necessary to effectively and safely manage the local pandemic response operations lead by the Department of Health - Collier and simultaneously conducted by Collier County agencies. For other events occurring during the pandemic environment, the Collier County CEMP and agency emergency plans and procedures would be used. Throughout all pandemic response operations, the following goal should be maintained: Decrease morbidity and mortality from an Influenza Pandemic utilizing available resources to mitigate the related needs of the community. This annex also reflects the roles of the agencies and organizations of Collier County and its municipalities in satisfying the goals, above. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 13 IX. AUTHORITIES & REFERENCES The authority for the development, implementation and maintenance of this annex is derived from the authority of the Florida Statutes, Section 252.38(1). The legal powers of the State Health Officer and the authority to delegate those powers during a Public Health Emergency are contained in Florida Statutes, Section 381.00315. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 14 X. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. Overview WHO-CDC Periods / Phases Interpandemic Period Phase 1 No new influenza virus subtypes have been identified in humans. An influenza virus subtype that has caused human infection may be present in animals. If present in animals, the risk of a human infection or disease is considered to be low. Phase 2 No new influenza virus subtypes have been detected in humans. However, a circulating animal influenza virus subtypes poses a substantial risk of human disease. Pandemic Alert Period Phase 3 Human infection(s) with a new subtype, but no human-to-human spread, or at most rare instances of spread to a close contact. Phase 4 Small Cluster(s) with limited human-to-human transmission but is highly localized, suggesting that the virus is not well adapted to humans. Phase 5 Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 15 Larger cluster(s) but human-to-human spread still localized, suggesting that the virus is becoming increasingly better adapted to humans, but may not yet be fully transmissible (substantial pandemic risk). Pandemic Period Phase 6 Increased and sustain transmission in general population. Period 1a: Increased and sustained transmission in the general population of U.S., but not yet in Florida. Period 1b: Increased and sustained transmission in the general population of U.S., in Florida, but not in Collier County. Period 1c: Increased and sustained transmission in the general population of U.S., including Collier County. Post Pandemic Period Return to interpandemic period. The Collier County Pandemic Response Annex incorporates the following fundamental operational concepts: Actions will be taken in accord in this annex during non-emergency times to prepare the county and municipal agencies and organizations for a more timely and effective response to the public health incident. When in Phase 6 of the Pandemic, the Collier County Emergency Operations Center may be activated as the Multi-Agency Coordination Center, operating out of the Alternate EOC, to provide additional support to responding field operations, hospitals and other facilities involved in management of the incident and care of its victims. Support operations from the EOC will be conducted by the designated Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) in accord with the Collier County CEMP and the provisions of this annex. During a pandemic event, there could be a variety of criminal events resulting from the pandemic situation that could have disastrous consequences in themselves, e.g., rioting, civil disobedience. The responding agencies will utilize existing agency procedures for control of field operations within the organizational structure established by the National Incident Management System (NIMS). B. Detection, Notification and Classification of the Pandemic Event (1) Detection Detection of an actual or suspected influenza pandemic may occur through the following types of mechanisms: World Health Organization, CDC, Florida Department of Health, and/or Collier County Health Officer, via epidemiologic surveillance network. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 16 (2) Notification Upon receipt of notification that: The State Health Officer has initiated a pandemic alert; the Collier County Health Officer will notify the Emergency Management Director. The EM Director may form the EOC to disseminate this change and recommended protective actions. The State Health Officer has declared a Public Health Emergency because we are in a Pandemic Period, phase 1b or 1c.; the County Health Officer will notify the Emergency Management Director. The Emergency Management Director will schedule a meeting to brief County senior staff and ESF representatives on the current situation and will consider activating the EOC and Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH). Local epidemiological surveillance suspects an influenza epidemic; the County Health Officer will notify the Emergency Management Director. The EM Director may form the EOC to disseminate this change and recommended protective actions. (3) Classification The pandemic “Period” and “Phase” will be assigned by the State Health Officer. The County Health Officer may recommend to the Emergency Management Director that actions required of a higher phase should be implemented. The County Warning Point will notify the State Watch Office, accordingly. C. Response Operations Response operations covered by this annex will not involve the activation of the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement unless we are the initial county reporting the presence of the novel virus. The mutual aid providers will respond and conduct its operations based on the operating guidelines within the State’s Field Operations Guide (FOG) and the Multi-Agency Coordinating (MAC) Group. (1) Response Policies The county’s response to a known or suspected pandemic event will be in accordance with established policies for emergency response operations as defined within the Collier County CEMP. At Phase 6, the Board of County Commissioners may consider ceasing all governmental activities except the emergency essential functions such as water, waste-water, solid waste, fire, emergency medical, health, environmental health, etc., so as to increase staffing and resources to sustain operations. Other Constitutional officers may curtail their operations in order to mitigate the consequences of spreading the virus by having public gatherings. Management of response operations will be guided by the following priorities: Preserving life or minimizing risk to health, Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 17 Releasing emergency public information that ensures adequate and accurate communications with the public, and Maintaining and/or restoring essential services, (2) Mobilization and activation of resources Depending on the “period” and severity of the pandemic incident, response agencies and essential service agencies of Collier County or the impacted municipality will be mobilized to meet the current conditions and needs of the community. If we are an “initially” impacted county, a great deal of effort will be made to contain the spread of the virus and minimize the impact on the medical facilities for all but life-threatening situations. If we are one of many counties to experience the beginning of the pandemic virus, we need to prepare resources and prepare for the potential cessation of non-essential services for an extended period. Because we can experience a reduction of up to 40% of our regular workforce, the initial stages of our mobilization should focus on re- orienting our cross-trained personnel of non-essential functions to their emergency duties. The “initial” period is the time to implement remote working conditions to continue governmental operations. STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT The posture of our response is dependent on the pandemic period and pandemic severity on our community. During an influenza pandemic, an “Area Command” may be established at the Collier County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) pending direction from the Department of Health in Collier County Director. Within our community, a simple incident command structure, possibly reporting to the Area Command, can manage the response. Within Area Command, the responding command personnel at each site will: 1) Coordinate all tactical operations for Law Enforcement and EMS 2) Supervise and direct emergency medical treatment 3) Coordinate all tactical law enforcement operations 4) Provide immediate situation reports to the Area Command 5) Provide resource status reports and anticipated needs to the Area Command 6) Make timely request for the Mobile Command Vehicle if needed in support of an on-site communications and coordination function. The Department of Health – Collier in concert with local Emergency and Healthcare providers will: 1) Coordinate issues in assessment of the medical and health issues involved with the Pandemic. 2) Plan and recommend actions for emergency operations and a public health response. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 18 UNIFIED COMMAND The pandemic response may involve establishing an Area Command with an integrated unified command structure for overall community management of the public health emergency. The unified command is comprised of Department of Health - Collier, the Sheriff’s office and Emergency Management. Depending on the characteristics of the incident, the unified command must be prepared to encompass the following: 1) County and municipal representation 2) State and local resources/agencies 3) Federal agencies (FEMA and Department of Homeland Security). A sample structure is shown below: The designated DOH - Collier Public Information Officer (PIO) will also be dispatched as the lead PIO. The mission of this PIO will be to: 1) Process information from, and then back through, the unified command before it is disseminated to the media. Unified Command CCHD, EM, SO Operations EM CCHD Planning EM CCHD Rep Admin & Finance CCHD Logistics EM CCHD Information Management EPI Ops CCHD FL DOH Emergency Services ESF – 4, 8 & 16 Liaisons FDEM Hospitals Cities Joint Information CCHD – Lead Partner PIO’s CEIH Admin Services Collier TV & Web (C&CR) Human Services EM ESF-6/18/15 Safety CCHD - Lead Infrastructure CC IT/ESF 1,2,& 3 DOH Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 19 2) Facilitate establishing the Joint Information Center (JIC) by other representing county and municipal interests in the JIC. 3) Coordinate information to be released to the public with the Unified Command & EOC director. Also, provide support personnel to the EOC for media information management and the CEIH, as needed. (3) Mutual Aid If Collier County is “ground zero” at the onset of the pandemic event in Florida, we can anticipate receipt of some resources from outside our county in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus. Collier County or the impacted municipality may request assistance from mutual aid organizations pursuant to normal procedures. If required, the EOC may also request activation of the Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) or Disaster Mortuary Response Team (DMORT) activation to support local operations in a severe pandemic. Of course, if we are not “ground zero”, but impacted, we can make the requests for outside resources, but they are not likely to arrive. (4) Public Information & Protection These are perhaps the most important components of response operations. For it is through accurate, timely, and consistent messages that we can control the rumors and provide helpful information and thereby instill public confidence in response agencies. Special attention will be paid to the at-risk populations and healthcare facilities. In addition to general public health information being disseminated to the public, the following protection strategies could be considered: Restricted travel in an area, Curfew Cessation of public meetings and gatherings Appeals to curtail private meetings and gatherings, e.g., church services and parties Distribution of prophylactic items, e.g., hand sanitizers and masks Distribution of food (5) Emergency Plan Activation As indicated by the characteristics of the incident and/or its actual or potential consequences, Collier County or the impacted municipality, if applicable, will activate its Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and accordingly activate the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Timing of the county’s activation will be designed, to the extent feasible, to anticipate changes in the incident classification level so that county emergency operations can be expanded in a timely manner. Suggested EOC activation levels are as follows: Partial or Full activation at the onset of the event when we receive the State Health Officer’s declaration of a Public Health Emergency due to an Influenza Pandemic. At a minimum, presence of the following ESFs constitute full activation:1 (Transportation), 2 (Communications), 3 (Public Works & Engineering, 4 (Fire Fighting), 5 (Planning & Intelligence), 6 (Mass Care), 7 (Resource Support), 8 (Health & Medical), 11 (Food & Water), 14 (Public Information), 15 (Volunteers & Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 20 Donations), 16 (Law Enforcement), 17 (Animal Issues), and 18 (Business & Industry) Partial activation when monitoring the development/progress of the viral spread in Florida. Monitoring when the event is in any of the Pandemic Phases 1 through 5. Emergency actions for management of the actual or potential consequences of an event will be conducted for each activation level as specified in the Collier County CEMP. (6) Activation of Other Facilities In order to meet the needs of the ill, responders, and the media in a pandemic event, the following facilities are likely to be needed: Area Command Post: The Collier County Emergency Operations Center may serve as the primary Area Command Post and the Collier County South Water Treatment Plant will serve as the alternate facility. The Command Post will be activated by the Emergency Management Director at the request of Health Department Director, in consultation with the County Manager’s office. It provides adequate space and services if the incident escalates and mutual aid, state or Federal agencies are required to join the unified command. All Collier County Emergency Support Functions will, as necessary and when activated, provide resource and logistical support to Command Post personnel and operations. Incident Command Post: A command post may be established at the Department of Health in Collier County Headquarters or the Emergency Operations Center. All Collier County Emergency Support Functions will, as necessary and when activated, provide resource and logistical support to Command Post personnel and operations. Points of Distribution (POD): In the event that vaccine or national stockpiled medications arrive for our public distribution, PODs will most likely be established for access by residents. Typically these distribution points will be at certain Collier County Parks & Recreation facilities. Department of Health will coordinate the staffing of these locations reaching out to local partners and volunteers. Collier Emergency Information Hotline (CEIH): When the EOC is activated, usually the CEIH becomes activated concurrently. The CEIH is essentially the public information phone bank established at both the Health Department and at the Human Resources Classroom. CEIH will have health personnel available at all CEIH locations to field health related questions for the staff. The CEIH will maintain a reliable communications linkage between Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 21 either the EOC’s PIO and/or the Joint Information Center (JIC), for timely and accurate information. Residential Enclave Disaster Plan (RED): In the event of a Pandemic, RED plan communities are provided consistent communication of vetted public health information and education. Through planning and training, pre-credentialed RED Plan communities may possess the unique ability to operate a Point of Distribution (POD) for their community’s residents. Activation of any RED Plan community POD will be at the discretion of the DOH - Collier Director. Joint Information Center (JIC): A pandemic influenza event will require operations and resources to be dedicated to public information and media management. These operations are likely to exceed those necessary for other types of emergencies due to the extended response period. The designated Collier County Public Information Officer in charge may establish a JIC as we enter Phase 6 of the Pandemic event. This JIC will usually be located in the same facility as the Area Command Post. The JIC will ensure an adequate flow of timely information from the command post to the Collier Information Center. The PIO will utilize available mechanisms for the delivery of emergency public information including but not limited to: 1) The Integrated Public Alert Warning System (IPAWS) may activate when an event requires immediate contact with the general public. The IPAWS will be activated with the assistance of Collier County Emergency Management and the County Warning Point. 2) Issuance of concise information releases to media. These releases will be prepared and approved with the assistance of the PIO function of the command post and/or the Collier County EOC, if activated. 3) Providing information directly to the media present, including the broadcast media. The PIO may arrange for command staff to support such interviews on a schedule that will not interfere with response operations. (7) Management of Victims At the initial stages of a pandemic event, health facilities around the community could quickly become overwhelmed. To stem this, a “self triage campaign” via the CEIH, internet and the media may occur in order to keep people at their homes unless lives are in grave jeopardy. The unified command would respond to such circumstances by considering a range of strategies, to include: Implementation of the RED plan program. This program is established within certain communities that have agreed to partner with the Health Department to possibly meet some of the care-needs of its community. This is a means to contain the spread to/from a geographically identified area. It allows minimal contact with large numbers of people of the resource providers. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 22 Community food distribution. This is meant to keep ill persons at their homes in order to contain the spread to a geographically identified area. (8) Disposition of the Deceased In the event of a mass casualty incident resulting from a severe pandemic, morgue and medical examiner’s (ME) facilities could become overwhelmed. In this case, the ME will follow procedures in the Mass Casualty Plan for handling the deceased. If the pandemic is mainly contained to our County and the Collier County Medical Examiner's Office becomes overwhelmed, assistance would be requested of the medical examiners from adjacent counties, pursuant to existing mutual aid agreements. In addition, should it still become necessary, the Collier County Medical Examiner could request the Florida Medical Examiner's Commission (within FDLE) to activate the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (D-MORT). The incident must be declared a federal emergency in order to activate this resource. D-MORT provides assistance to local agencies in terms of morgue equipment, personnel and total mortuary care (such as autopsies, preparations, caskets, and funeral arrangements). Local funeral homes may also be able to assist if requested in handling the large numbers of deceased. (9) Response Termination and Demobilization Termination and demobilization of a county or municipal response to a pandemic incident will be under the direction of the Department of Health – Collier County Director (with the concurrence of the State Health Officer). In all cases, county operations will be continued until termination of Federal and State operations, and may continue beyond the demobilization of Federal and/or State personnel at the scene if deemed necessary by the county’s unified command. Upon receipt of Federal authorization and/or concurrence for response termination and demobilization, the county and/or municipality’s unified command will demobilize operations using established procedures. Depending on the circumstances of the pandemic incident, however; additional efforts by those normally employed for a disaster event may be warranted, including but not limited to the following: Providing continuing public information regarding the medical, health or psychological impacts of the event, Documenting the event in detail, evaluating the response, and making adjustments to this annex and any implementing procedures as indicated. Other procedures implemented by the county or municipalities for assisting residents, restoring services, seeking Federal disaster assistance, documenting expenditures, etc. will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Collier County CEMP. Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 23 XI. ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES This section of the Pandemic Response Annex to the Collier County CEMP addresses those responsibilities of county agencies, organizations and officials for the specific program development and implementation functions necessary to manage a pandemic event. Responsibilities for programs, plans and procedures that are related to management of other types of disaster situations are addressed in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. The municipalities within the county are expected to address the responsibilities of its agencies and organizations within their own comprehensive emergency management plans and applicable pandemic event response annex. If the municipalities have not prepared such documents, it is expected that their response organizations would adhere to the applicable responsibilities as defined in this section. While the focus of this discussion is on the duties of county organizations, the expected roles and responsibilities of other local, State and Federal agencies and organizations are summarized to provide a context for understanding the county’s position in the entire response organization. A. Overview For this annex, Collier County and its municipalities have responsibilities appropriate for its capabilities and requirements. In sum, these responsibilities can be categorized as follows: To develop and maintain an adequate level of preparedness to serve as a “first responder” to a pandemic event occurring within the county, To maintain programs to assure the continuity of operations for essential services, To effectively establish, lead or support a unified command for management of a pandemic event occurring within the county, To exercise authority for the protection of the safety and health of the people of Collier County during such an event, and To assure effective implementation of the Collier County CEMP for management of the pandemic event. Because this is an annex to the Collier County CEMP, its implementation will rely strongly on the resources and capabilities of the emergency support functions that make up the county’s emergency response team. Therefore, the assignment of the special responsibilities for pandemic response program development, and implementation of this annex, is primarily by the Department of Health – Collier and if needed, by specific county agencies or officials. Focusing on the emergency support functions facilitates incorporation of such special duties or functions into those roles and responsibilities that have been assigned through the CEMP for all other types of emergencies or disasters. Therefore, lead and support agencies for each of the county’s emergency support functions can and must assure that the responsibilities assigned under this annex will effectively interface with their other program and operational duties for all types of disasters.

Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 41 Appendix 2 Continuity of Operations Issues Assumptions: There will be very little warning once the novel strain identified. Outbreaks will occur simultaneously throughout the US. Schools will be the first industry to close down to protect the children. Therefore, your first loss will be about 10% of your workforce, unless you’ve made provisions. When the pandemic flu enters the community, up to 30 - 40% of your workforce may be affected (ill). Plan on workforce reduction to last between 30 and 60 days. Emergency services (police, fire, & law enforcement) may be the first affected agencies. Assistance from outside the county is unlikely. Vaccines & antiviral agents may be in short supply. Hospitals/healthcare agencies will quickly be overburdened. 1. Identify critical functions and processes. • Life/health/safety activities that are essential to accomplishing the mission of the department. • Identify critical “daily” functions that need to be provided during an event – although at a reduced level. (30 & 60-day increments) • Perform impact analysis based of 40% workforce reduction for 60- days. • Identify Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG) of critical functions/processes and clearly document so resources pulled from non-essential functions can perform in an emergency and/or “surge”. • Establish orders of succession and delegations of authority “in writing”. 2. Identify staff that can be cross trained to backfill critical functions. • Make processes and task checklists available 3. Identify critical functions that can be performed via telecommuting and/or manual processes if IT systems are overloaded or if re-assigned staff is not familiar with applications. • Data entry & records management 4. Identify functions that can be suspended while staff is reassigned to more critical roles. 5. Identify the technology needs related to large-scale telecommuting and conference calling. • Pre-establish conference call lines and status call schedules by division • Laptops • Wireless access • Identify information security issues in advance 6. Review human resource policies. • Determine whether staff can be prevented from remaining at work if symptomatic for influenza Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2016 _______________________ August 1, 2016 Annex G – Page 42 • Determine whether critical functions could be performed through flex shifting (longer hours of operation, alternate work days, etc.) • Is working from home an option and for what positions 7. Make alcohol hand gel and disinfectant wipes available and accessible to all staff. • Establish protocols to protect the health of the staff 8. Develop crisis communication plan that addresses communicating with staff during a crisis. • Create and drill department call lists • Plan internal communications and updates on a regular basis 9. Develop a mechanism to track employee absenteeism daily and report the above-average percentages to the county manager’s office.

How To Use This Plan This plan is to be used as a general guide for tasked and affected agencies in combination with the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, the State of Florida Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan (REPP) and other applicable plans and Standard Operating Guidelines. Mission assignments and resource requests may include functions and resources not identified in this plan. This document is confidential and will be exempt from public records as per Florida Statute 119.071 and will not be posted for public viewing. BACKGROUND In Accordance With Florida Administrative Code 27P-6.0025 The County Radiological Emergency Plan for Nuclear Power Plants. This county plan shall provide a detailed description of the process to be used to protect the public from the potential health effects associated with a radiological emergency at a commercial nuclear power plant. Only those counties within a 50 mile radius of a commercial nuclear power plant are required to develop this plan. This plan shall be developed with direct assistance from the Division and shall be incorporated into the appropriate site plan contained in REPP of the State Plan. This plan shall comply with the Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG-0654 FEMA REP-1 Rev. 1). These criteria are available from the Division and may be obtained by writing the Division at 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32399. This plan or annex shall be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review and approval. 5 | P a g e CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION I. INTRODUCTION Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station is a twin reactor nuclear power station located on a 3,300-acre (1,300 ha) site 2 miles east of Homestead, Florida, United States, next to Biscayne National Park located about 25 miles (40 km) south of Miami, Florida near the southernmost edge of Miami-Dade County. Turkey Point is owned by Florida Power & Light. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines two Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ) around nuclear power plants: the Plume Exposure Pathway and the Ingestion Exposure Pathway. These zones are defined as the areas for which planning is needed to assure that prompt and effective actions can be taken to protect the public in the event of an accident. They have been designed in size to accommodate the need for actions in regard to the potential degree of radiological exposure. Although the radius for an EPZ implies a circular area, the actual shape depends upon the physical and demographic features within that zone. The Plume Exposure Pathway zone has a radius of 10 miles (16 km), concerned primarily with exposure to, and inhalation of, airborne radioactive contamination. The Ingestion Pathway Zone has a radius of about 50 miles (80 km) and is concerned primarily with ingestion of food and liquid contaminated by radioactivity. Two thirds of the land area within Collier County lies within the 50 mile Ingestion Pathway Zone. Collier County is located on the southwest coast of Florida. Lee and Hendry Counties border it on the north, on the east by Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, on the south by Monroe County, and on the west by the Gulf of Mexico. Collier County is the largest county in land area east of the Mississippi River, approximately 2,025 square miles of land and 112 square miles of inland surface water. The County is bordered on the north by Lee and Hendry Counties; south by Monroe County; and east by Broward and Miami- Dade Counties. The Bureau of Economic and Business Research has projected that the population of the Region in 2015 will be 1,838,347 or about 8% of the population in the State of Florida. Collier has a projected population of 406,262**. During the months of January and February are when traffic is the heaviest along the roads of Southwest Florida. This period is impacted by the snowbirds, winter tourist, and migrant workers. Winter residents, the "snowbirds" are persons who live in other parts of the Country except during the winter. Each winter, they move to Southwest Florida. They own a home here or have some long-term rental arrangement. Their stay will generally be from one to five months. For them, Southwest Florida is their second home. At certain peak times, winter residents may increase the population as much as 22%, and add considerable traffic to transportation routes, especially in the coastal counties. Tourists can include business travelers and short-term vacationers. Vacationers spend anywhere from a few days to several weeks in the Region. Existing data suggest that tourists primarily come in two seasons, summer (July, August, and September), and winter (January, February and March). The normal travel is by commercial air carrier or by private auto. Automobile travelers are more likely to use a recreational vehicle park or campground than air travelers. 6 | P a g e II. PURPOSE To describe the means to be used to minimize the effects of radioactive exposure on humans and the contamination of agriculture, resulting from an incident at a nuclear power plant, Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant. This annex outlines a course of action for a coordinated planning and response effort by local officials to alleviate a radiological emergency situation and assigns duties and responsibilities to various emergency response organizations. This plan is supported by the Collier County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and other support annexes. III. PLAN MAINTENANCE AND DISTRIBUTION The EM Director has the overall responsibility for all emergency planning. The plan will be reviewed annually and distributed to the appropriate response agencies. The plan could also be updated as necessary to comply with changes in policies, standard operating procedures, laws and regulations. Reproduction of this document, in whole or in part, without prior approval from the Collier County Emergency Management is prohibited. IV. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS a. SITUATION: i. There is a 50-mile radius Ingestion Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) associated nuclear power plants. The 50-mile EPZ associated with Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant affects four (4) counties in south Florida. ii. In the event of a radioactive release from Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant the deposition of radiological contaminants on crops, other vegetation, livestock, bodies of surface water and ground surfaces could occur. iii. The State of Florida, supported by appropriate federal agencies, has the responsibility to take protective actions in the event that a radiological incident causes contamination of human foods or animal feeds. iv. The decision to recommend protective actions generally is based on known potential releases to the environment, radiological measurements, laboratory analyses, and integrated dose projections in the pathway of concern. v. Examples of protective action information for the general public to minimize exposure to contaminated food-stuffs are available through multiple sources. vi. Moderate or heavy rainfall may result in higher levels of deposition or surface contamination and may require protective actions within the EPZ. vii. Radionuclides in the ingestion pathway may remain as a long-term concern since once in the soil, some may be taken up by vegetation including 7 | P a g e vegetables, fruit trees, grains and forage. This could affect future harvests. b. ASSUMPTIONS: i. The State of Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) will deploy State Emergency Response Team (SERT) members and members from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) Bureau of Radiological Control to coordinate State efforts. Other state and federal agencies will also be involved in assessments during the emergency. Ingestion Pathway Counties will receive technical guidance from the Bureau of Radiation Control and other state/Federal agencies in order to make informed decisions. ii. Collier does not have the resources necessary to respond, recover and mitigate emergency management efforts resulting from a Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant emergency. iii. Increased state actions may be warranted for a multi-jurisdictional emergency which is beyond the capabilities of local resources, or when the Governor determines there is an overriding concern for the safety of the public. For these situations, the Governor can designate the primary responsibility for emergency response to the state by issuing an Executive Order under the provisions of Section 252.36, Florida Statutes. iv. Upon issuance of a State of Florida Executive Order, the Collier Division of Emergency Management will continue to coordinate the emergency response operations of the local agencies. If necessary, the issuance of the Local State of Emergency will be coordinated with the Collier County Emergency Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). v. Notification to the County about an emergency situation at the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant through the SWO and providing situational updates through the FDEM. V. HAZARD ANALYSIS Collier County is in the 50-mile EPZ for Turkey Point Nuclear Power Facility in Miami-Dade County. This EPZ includes the ingestion exposure pathway, in which the population will be vulnerable to the health effects associated with the ingestion of radiological contaminated food and water. An important step in the risk analysis process is to identify those hazards that are most likely to impact Collier County. While there is a long list of natural hazards that have the potential of occurring in Collier County, the majority of these hazards have a low probability of occurring. Thus, the hazards that have been identified for analysis by this plan because of their potential to impact the county are listed in the table below. The following hazards will not be analyzed due to their historically low probability of occurrence and/or impact: Winter Storms & Freezes, Drought & Heat Waves, Landslides & Sinkholes, Hazardous Material Accidents, Terrorist Attacks, Pandemic, Earthquakes and Tsunamis. Additionally, Collier County has one earthen dam known as the State Road 846 Living 8 | P a g e Trust. This is located in an agricultural area (cropland) with the closest address almost a mile away. There is no past reported dam breaches or failures in Collier County. Therefore there will be no further LMS analysis of dam/levee failures. 9 | P a g e CHAPTER 2: THE RADIOLOGICAL RESPONSE ORGANIZATION I. ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES a. COLLIER COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (EM) EM is the lead county agency associated with disaster response operations within Collier County. NOTE: Collier County receives no REP funding and has no dedicated staff individual for REP activities. In the absence of a REP program coordinator, REP duties fall to the Director of Emergency Management or their designee. Those actions include: i. Support State and Federal agencies in the implementation of protective measures for Collier County in order to prevent the public from consumption of contaminated food-stuff. ii. Disseminate protective action information to the public. iii. Support State and Federal agencies in the identification of commercial sites, agriculture producers and processors and logistical sites for the state and federal response assets. iv. Support State and Federal agencies in implementation of control measures to restrict or prevent distribution of contaminated food-stuffs. v. Distribute agriculture emergency preparedness preprinted information for the residents, agriculture industry and NGO’s. vi. Support South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Collier County Public Utilities (PUD), and City of Naples and Marco Island Water Departments, in the implementation of protective action decisions for contaminated potable and non-potable water. vii. Support State and Federal agencies with local sampling sites and locations. viii. Support State and Federal agencies with local agricultural industry expertise. ix. Support State and Federal agencies with personnel and available resources for the sample collection. x. Support State and Federal agencies the distribution and location of animal feed and water. xi. Support State and Federal agencies radiological monitoring and laboratory analysis services. 10 | P a g e b. STATE OF FLORIDA: The role of state government is to support local government operations unless the scope of the emergency warrants increased state action. State government support is coordinated by the FDEM’s State Emergency Response Team (SERT) from the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC). Direction and control of State response and recovery approach which is based on functional support groups, involves broad participation from State organizations, and is compatible with the federal response and recovery organization and concepts of operation. i. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, BUREAU OF RADIATION CONTROL 1. The Department of Health, Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) is the primary radiological emergency agency for assessment of health hazards during radiological emergencies regardless of their severity. The department is assigned this responsibility in Chapter 404, Florida Statutes. Should the Bureau of Radiation Control need monitoring and laboratory assistance, the BRC operations officer will request the FDEM to obtain federal assistance through the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Operations. Assistance may also be requested from other states through the Southern Mutual Radiation Assistance Plan and the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. 2. Responsibilities of the Department of Health, BRC include: A. Provide technical consultation and support to the Governor, the FDEM, the State Emergency Response Team and local governments regarding radiation and radiological health (e.g., determine levels of radiation, health hazards, and radiological decontamination) as the principal radiological assessment agency. B. Provide offsite monitoring. C. Collect and analyze samples by the BRC field teams according to established standard operating procedures. D.

B. Declare an agricultural emergency as guided by the FDOH when a radiological hazard is detected. C. In consultation with the FDEM and the FDOH, implement agricultural procedures for nuclear power plant emergencies. D. Identify a Radiation Safety Officer that will be responsible for capturing all dose records for agency personnel. 12 | P a g e c. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: Federal Assistance provided to the state and local governments in response to and recovery from a radiological incident will follow the guidelines established in the current National Response Framework. In addition, the Federal government is responsible for providing assistance, as requested by the State of Florida. i. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC): 1. The NRC will act as the Lead Federal Agency for all Nuclear Power Plant accidents. They will appoint one individual to act as the Lead Federal Agency Representative. This individual will be responsible for the activation and coordination of federal response activities. 2. The Lead Federal Agency Representative will ensure state and local emergency management officials are informed of on-site conditions that may have an effect on both on- and off-site populations. They are also responsible for providing state and local officials with recommended protective actions based on the assessment of data gathered by support agencies. ii. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA): 1. The EPA will act as the Lead Federal Agency for all Recovery Operations regarding an incident at the Farley Nuclear Power Plant. They will appoint one individual to act as the Lead Federal Agency Representative. This individual will be responsible for the activation and coordination of federal response activities. The Lead Federal Agency Representative will ensure state and local emergency management officials are informed of on-site conditions that may have an effect on both on and off-site populations. They are also responsible for providing state and local officials with recommended protective actions based on the assessment of data gathered by support agencies. 2. The EPA will assist the DOE with radiological assessment at the EOF. Control of the EOF will be transferred from the DOE to the EPA for recovery operations at a mutually agreed time. (The DOE will transfer over control for recovery operations from the EOF to the EPA at a mutually agreed time) iii. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE): 1. The DOE will support the EOF for off-site radiological activities. The EOF will be activated prior to a Site Area Emergency and will provide state and local officials with real time information and predictions 13 | P a g e relating to the movement of potentially contaminated clouds or plumes. 2. DOE, Savannah River Operations shall provide personnel and equipment to facilitate liaison, coordination and communications among FRMAC agencies and appropriate state/local officials at the scene. Federal, State and County facilities are identified to support the Federal Response. 3. The DOE will deploy air monitoring stations as well as field teams, and aircraft if needed within Risk/Ingestion counties to gather air samples and deposition readings for the purpose of determining if any Radiation has moved off site. These reports will be sent to the EOF to be analyzed to determine if protective action is needed. This information then will be provided to the Risk, Ingestion and Host counties. Air operations shall be conducted from Washington County Airport. The initial Air-Support Command Post (ASCP) shall be identified as needed. The ASCP shall have county, state and federal representatives if established. iv. FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA): 1. FEMA will act as the coordinating agency for obtaining additional assistance and resources from the federal government beyond those deployed for the mission. The federal response assistance for actual radiological emergencies is identified in the Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex of the National Response Framework. v. FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT (FPL): 1. Florida Power and Light is responsible for initial response and management of Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant activities. Requirements include notification to and coordination with appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, evaluation and assessment of incident scope, and formulation of protective actions and responses. 14 | P a g e CHAPTER 3: COMMAND AND CONTROL I. GENERAL: In accordance with Collier County Chapter 38 of the Code of Laws (Civil Emergencies) and Florida Statute 252.38 Collier County Emergency Management shall provide for the effective direction, control and coordination of Collier County government disaster management services, functional units, and personnel, and shall collaborate with other governments and private sector. To carry out its responsibilities under the Annex H to the Collier County Ingestion Pathway Plan, Collier County may activate several response and recovery facilities. II. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS: a. INTERMEDIATE PHASE: i. The Intermediate Phase is that period of time beginning after the source and subsequent release have been brought under control, and environmental measurements are available for use as a basis for decisions on Protective Actions and extending until the Protective Actions are terminated. This phase may overlap the early and late phases and may last from weeks to many months. For the purpose of dose projection, it is assumed to last for one year. ii. Those products that could affect the human food chain (i.e., vegetation, fruits, milk, etc.), including animal feeds and water, will be held until the sampling has been completed. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) shall be the coordinators of this effort locally through their ESF-17 support teams. iii. Emergency response operations within the Ingestion Exposure Pathway involve the identification of areas contamination. 1. "Fly Over" by federal resources may be requested by the State to help identify the contamination area. 2. Once a contamination "Foot Print" is available, the State may conduct sampling and/or request assistance of or coordinate with the federal government for verification sampling. Once contaminated areas are identified, protective actions will be taken to place restrictions, appropriate for protecting the public health, upon the use of contaminated food or water. Emergency response operations will be coordinated by the State with support from the federal government. The county emergency management agencies are the operative arm in response and recovery supported by various state and federal farm 15 | P a g e service agencies, extension services, development authorities and other appropriate agencies as needed. b. PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: i. Protective actions, as announced by the State and counties, may require modifications of food production, processing, and distribution cycle pathways in affected areas both within and outside of the Ingestion Exposure Pathway EPZ. ii. Protective actions will be based upon known releases to the environment, radiological measurements, laboratory analyses, and/or integrated dose projections. iii. Protective actions will not be recommended without documentation by state and federal agencies involved with the measured levels for both preventive or emergency protective actions and/or a consideration of the health, economic, and social impacts of such actions. The public in the exposure EPZs will be notified about preventive and emergency protective actions through EAS messages, public service announcements, and normal news releases to local radio and television stations, and the print media. Target audiences for public information concerning contamination through ingestion exposure will be the general public, dairies, farmers, processors and distributors in the food production process and water suppliers located within the Ingestion Exposure Pathway EPZ. iv. Farm animals should be protected within the entire Ingestion Exposure Pathway EPZ by sheltering with priority given to dairy animals. They should be fed from stored feed and covered/stored water to prevent ingestion of radiological contaminated feed and water. Once placed on stored feed and water, animals should not be permitted to graze until directed by the State Agriculture Response Team (SART). The state will disseminate information to the counties based on developed recommendations for implementation of protective actions within the designated ingestion EPZ. Once the protective action recommendation is made and disseminated, the primary agency for implementation is the county EMA. Procedures can be instituted to protect food items and livestock. These include, but are not limited to: 1. Removal of cows or other livestock from pastures and placing them on stored feed 2. Quarantine of potentially contaminated milk 3. Cut-off of contaminated water supplies 4. Washing of all harvested produce 16 | P a g e Additional guidance from the FHBRC and the Florida Department of Agriculture should be obtained prior to the implementation of the above measures to assure their adequacy under actual conditions. v. Personal protective equipment shall be requested via resource request to FDEM through EM Constellation. The Collier County Division of Emergency Management is responsible for the life and safety of their public safety personnel and staff, equipment shall be distributed to responding county personnel as needed. c. RECOVERY ACTIONS: i. Re-Entry Actions ii. Detailed County Government and Private Business Damage Assessment iii. Federal and Private Re-imbursement, Acquisition, Relocation of Damaged Property and Agriculture resources iv. Resource Distribution v. Restoration of Essential Services vi. Relief Services vii. Restoration of Public Health Services viii. Environmental Management (Animal Control, Natural Resource Restoration) ix. Evaluation of local development of agricultural regulations x.

GENERAL Four classes of emergency levels are established: Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. These ECL are anticipated to develop sequentially; however, the possibility exists that the first indication of a problem could result in immediate declaration of any of the emergency classes. I. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS (ECL) a. UNUSAL EVENT: i. Class Description: Unusual events are situations that either are in process of occurring or have just occurred that indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety at the plant. ii. Release Potential: No release of radioactive materials requiring offsite response of monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. iii. Purpose: The purpose of offsite notification is to assure that the first step in response has been carried out, to bring the operations staff to a state of readiness, and to provide systematic handling of unusual event information and decision-making. b. ALERT: i. Class Description: Events are in process or have occurred which involves an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. ii. Release Potential: Any releases of radioactive materials are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective action guide exposure levels and will not significantly affect offsite areas. iii. Purpose: The purpose of this classification is to assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and provide offsite authorities current information on plant status and parameters. c. SITE AREA EMERGENCY: 20 | P a g e i. Class Description: Events are in process or have occurred which involves actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. ii. Release Potential: Any releases of radioactive materials are not expected to exceed (EPA) Protection Action Guides (PAG) exposure levels except within onsite boundaries. iii. Purpose: The purpose of the site area emergency declaration is to assure that emergency response centers are staffed, to assure that monitoring teams are dispatched, to assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at duty stations if the situation becomes more serious, to provide consultation with offsite authorities, and to provide updates to the public through government authorities. d. GENERAL EMERGENCY: i. Class Description: Events are in progress or have just occurred that involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. ii. Release Potential: Release of radioactive materials can be reasonably expected to exceed (EPA) Protection Action Guide exposure levels offsite. iii. Purpose: The purpose of the General Emergency declaration is to initiate predetermined protective action for the public, to provide continues assessment of information from the licensee of offsite organizational measurements, to initiate additional measures as indicated by actual or potential release, to provide consultation with offsite authorities, and to provide updates for public through government authority. 21 | P a g e CHAPTER 5: NOTIFICATION AND ACTIVATION I. NOTIFICATION, MOBILIZATION AND ACTIVATION: a. COLLIER COUNTY: The Collier County Sheriff’s Office operates a 24-hour emergency communications center, (8075 Lely Cultural Parkway Naples, FL 34113). Upon notification of an emergency at the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant, the Emergency Management Director, or his designee, will activate the EOC to the appropriate level based on situational variables. The EOC will then become the central command post for coordinating the operational, logistical, and administrative support needs of response personnel. The EOC is located at 8075 Lely Cultural Parkway Naples, FL 34113. The EOC will be activated in the pre-emergency response phase upon the direction of the Director of Emergency Management with concurrence from the Collier County Manager, in order to support ICS/NIMS on a local or regional basis. The EOC will continue to be activated on a 24 hour basis throughout the emergency response period until such time as a reduced working schedule is deemed appropriate. Should the EOC suffer damage or be unable to operate adequately, operations will be shifted to the first alternate EOC, which is located at the PUD South Water Treatment Plant. A second alternate EOC is the Agri-Service Center, located at 751 39th Ave NE, Naples, FL 34120. The Collier County Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) shall be the primary staffing for EOC operations. Support to maintain 24 hour operations shall be made via resource request for an All Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT) via EM Constellation. Outgoing staff will brief the incoming staff on the status of the emergency and the response activities occurring. When a determination has been made that inter-county resources will be required, appropriate EM personnel will notify the designated primary ESF representatives by phone and/or email. The ESF primary representatives will be responsible for alerting and notifying all of their designated support agencies. The Emergency Management Planner or designee will be responsible for updating the ESF primary representative roster and performing an ESF recall when conditions warrant. Collier County will take the following are actions by ECL: 22 | P a g e i. UNUSUAL EVENT: (No Activation)* 1.

RE-ENTRY Re-entry into any restricted zone is approved [Temporary] access for critical needs only. Each county has the responsibility for creating the infrastructure that coordinates, implements, and prioritizes re-entry needs. These include but are not limited to re-entry protocols, prioritizing entry requests, processing requests, creation of entry/exit points, training/supplying those entering restricted zones, logging/monitoring those who gained access, along with coordination with PIO communication on re-entry applications. Priority needs include; life safety, incident stabilization, maintenance of critical infrastructure/services, animal care, etc. a. The SEOC will be responsible for releasing the duration allowed for re-entry including transit time within the restricted zone without surpassing their dose limits. i. Re-entry protocols will be coordinated between each county and the SEOC. ii. Accurate documentation of all application requests and granted requests is necessary. b. The EOC will determine what means of transportation is necessary inside and out of the restricted zone (e.g. personal vehicles, shuttles, etc.). The EOC will be required to coordinated registration, radiation control briefings, equipment disbursement/training, and escorts for each approved entry applicant. c. The county will also be required to brief all escorts on daily information, just-in-time radiological training, dosimetry, personal protective equipment (PPE), and any other necessary requirements based on the situation. d. The County will also be required to monitor for radiological contamination and decontamination as needed. i. Monitoring process will be specified by the EOC after re-entry has begun, including but not limited to Decon Centers or mobile facilities. e. The County PIO will coordinate with the SEOC PIO on developed messaging for Re-entry. 29 | P a g e CHAPTER 14: ESTABLISHING RETURN AREAS AND RECOVERY I. RETURN Return is the process of re-establishing a sense of normalcy within the effected zone. The overall attempt is to repopulate the area and return an economic base. These areas will no longer be contaminated and background will be as close to normal as possible, meaning no longer term exposure health risks. a. The county will be responsible for coordinating the verification of safe areas and the boundaries of each area with support from the SEOC. b. Local law enforcement will remove traffic control to return areas while still maintaining security on restricted zones with support from SEOC c. The county must coordinate exact timing of re-entry to local and state officials d. County PIO will communicate caution to returning residents that although it is safe to live, there may still be low levels of radiation in pockets that may require food control/restrictions. II. RECOVERY Recovery follows return where all previous public land is accessible to the community. All concentrations of radioactive materials in the environment have returned to background levels. Extensive assessment of the environment is necessary during recovery. Data collected will be released to federal assistance and insurance companies. a. County will coordinate damage assessment and report to SEOC b. County will coordinate locations of recovery centers to SEOC c. County will coordinate deposal and restoration of infrastructure environment with the state so as to bring county to pre-event conditions d. County will coordinate with SEOC for federal assistance and insurance 30 | P a g e CHAPTER 15 & 16: EXERCISE AND DRILLS & RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING I.
