SUBJECT: County Manager Review and Approval of a Readiness and Emergency
Management for School Grant Application and Local Government Partner

The Collier County School District was made aware of a Readiness and Emergency Management
for Schools funding opportunity offered by the United States Department of Education's Office
of Safe and Drug Free Schools in late January. Attached to this memo is a two page summary
that outlines the proposed project, along with the partnership agreement. A completed
application will be received in time for the March 9th BCC meeting.
If funded, the Collier County School District will create, strengthen, and improve emergency
management plans at the district and school building levels. Mr. Ed Messer from the Collier
School District approached the County Manager's Office and the Collier County Bureau of
Emergency Services seeking an endorsement of the partnership agreement portion of the grant
application. The Collier County School District applied for this grant last year and the
partnership agreement was signed in April, however, the grant was not awarded. It has been
requested by Mr. Messer that it be signed again for this year's application. According to Mr.
Messer, community partnerships are an important factor in this grant application.
By signing the partnership agreement, the County Manager agrees to oversee many of the
response partners of the project. The County Manager will assist the responding agencies in
increasing NIMS training over the course of the project period. The County Manager will also
assist in communications across the community in times of emergencies. The County Manager
will assist in strengthening the response of all agencies under their direction based upon the
assessments conducted through the project period.

REMS grant- Summary
DRAFT
Collier County Emergency Management Department has recommended to Collier County Public
Schools and Edison State College that the best practice to comply with current training needs
would encompass "All Hazards" training. All Hazards training includes domestic and
international terrorism, natural disasters and manmade disasters. Currently, all principals in
Collier County Public Schools system have been certified in Incident Command System 100 and
700. The full scope of this project will include offering Incident Command System (100, 200,
300, 400, 700, 800) training for all teachers, administration, custodial and plant managers for
each school in Collier County Public Schools as well as Edison State College's collegiate charter
high schools. Additionally, the above outlined Incident Command System training will be
offered to emergency and public safety personnel in our service area. Principals, assistant
principals, deans, custodial and operational staff will be expected to complete Incident Command
System 100 and 700 in the Collier County Campus Security Consortium (School District of
Collier County, The Community School of Naples, The YMCA of Palms, Naples Facility, The
Village School, Hodges University [Naples Campus], Seacrest Country Day School and First
Baptist Church of Naples) and Edison State College collegiate charter high schools, while
courses 200, 300, 400 and 800 will be offered and all will be encouraged to complete the full
system. Edison State College's Collier County campus will serve as the training site for the
Incident Command System training.

Development of a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) plan is an essential component
of this grant request. Collier County Public Schools does not have one currently, nor does
Edison State College's collegiate charter high schools. It is expected that the development of a
district-wide COOP plan, with site-specific sections for each school, will be done in-house, with
the assistance 0 f an outside contractor.
While Collier County Public Schools have a food defense plan, as well as an infectious
disease plan in place, Edison State College's collegiate charter high schools need to develop
both. It is expected that the development of the Edison State College collegiate charter high
school plans will follow the Collier County Public Schools' plan, but updates to the Collier
County Public Schools plan are expected as well.
