EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
for Collier County and its municipalities.
OBJECTIVE: To adopt the attached Resolution approving the Collier County Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) for Collier County.
CONSIDERATIONS: Chapter 252, Florida Statutes requires that the County prepare this plan.
Although it is updated annually locally, the Florida Department of Community Affairs, Division
of Emergency Management ("State") reviews and approves it every four years. The State has
approved the CEMP, finding it in compliance with Florida Administrative Code.
Staff from all the Collier County Divisions, Everglades City, the City of Marco Island, the City
of Naples, the Collier County Sheriff's Office, the Schools, and the Fire Districts have had
opportunities to participate in the re-write throughout the process. Additionally, the draft plan
has been posted on the Emergency Management web site since January 2008, along with the
current plan, for comment.
r--
The CEMP represents the fruits 0 f our labor during the past 48 months. In addition to obtaining
approval from the three municipalities, we have sought input from private non-profit
organizations who partner with the emergency response organizations during disasters. Having
an approved CEMP enables all participating jurisdictions to have a standard to respond to
disaster situations that complements the State's CEMP.
Due to the volume of the CEMP, a copy of the plan is available for review at the Clerk of Courts
Recording Office, Office located on the 4th Floor of Building F, at the Government Center, 3301
E. Tamiami Trail, Naples. Once the Resolution is approved, a copy of the adopted CEMP will
be submitted to the State.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Rule 9G-6.006, F.AC. requires that the State approved CEMP
be adopted by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. The proposed Resolution has
been approved for form and legal sufficiency by the Office of the County Attorney. - JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached
resolution adopting the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for Collier County.

Collier County Comorehensive Emcraency Mana!!cment Plan 20GB
June 24. 2008
The COLLIER COUNTY
COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT PLAN (CEMP)
2008
I. INTRODUCTION
The Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is designed to address
all threats to which the County and its population may be exposed. At the present time, six types
of major threats have been identified, as well as twenty-five additional threats for which the
County must be prepared.
This plan is an outline of emergency situations and agency responsibilities, Each agency that is
identified will be given a broad overview of their tasking. Primary and secondary agencies will be
rcsponsible for developing Standard Operating Guides (SOGs) and/or checklists identifying when
and how they will accomplish their taskings.
A, Purpose
I. The CEMP establishes the framework through which Collier County may prevent
or mitigate the impacts of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural,
man made, and technological hazards that could adversely affect the health, safety
and gencral welfare of residents and visitors to this County. Appendices to the
Basic Plan address describe the general emergency support functions which are
used to resolve problems posed by a disaster and other matters that provide
details to the Basic Plan. The Annexcs address unique hazards whereby we were
either better able to effectively and efficiently deliberately plan for the hazard
event or the hazard presents unique requirements that deviates from the Basic
Plan which is clarified by the Annex.
2. Through this CEMP, provisions are made for the nceded flexibility of direction,
coordination, and methods of operations to enable County, City, and non-
governmental agencies to accomplish the objectives of mitigation, preparedness,
response and recovery. This plan provides the framework for rendering support
to other counties, state and fedcral 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 NlMS system 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 and other preparedness efforts,
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 ofthe nation's emergency responders will use a common language, and a
Basic - 1

r~rn
June 24. 2008
\Cdj
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 languagc.
B. Scope of the Collier County CEMP:
I. 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 responses, terrorism and severe weather.
2. The "Basic Plan" and the annexes identify roles, responsibilities, relationships,
direction and control measures and protocols for a variety of hazard event
rcsponses betwecn 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
thc county's Local Mitigation Strategy meetings and through rcbuilding
initiatives associated with damaged facilities.
C. Methodology
I. The Collier CEMP was produced by the team efforts of the entire Collier County
Emergency Management staff, the lead and support 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 to the
plan whcre appropriate. Thc Emergency Managemcnt 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. Guidancc 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 thc following manner:
a. Basic Plan will be reviewed by Emergency Management staff by April
15, each year and after each plan implementation due to a threat of or
actual disaster. Changes to the Basic Plan to the CEMP will go beforc
thc Board of County Commissioners for adoption.
b, Emergency Support Function (ESF) appendices will be revicwed by the
Lead Agency for the ESF in consultation with the support agencies.
Corrections will bc forwarded to Emergency Managcmcnt who will
distribute page changes to all recipients of the plan. Changes to the ESF
Basic - 2
:IiernlW-3
Collier County Comorchensive Emef!!encY Manal!emcnt Plan 2008
June 24 2008
appendices do not need Board of County Commissioner approval as long
as the spirit and intent of the Basic Plan has not changed,
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. The Annex will be initiated & maintained by the lead
agency for that annex. Hazard specific annexcs 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 this plan.
c. The master CEMP document is maintained electronically in the
Emergency Management virtual library on the web
(http://www.colliergov.net/lndex,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 Office of Emergency
Management.
g, Collier County Emergency Management maintains a Revision Log.
Revisions will bc noted on the web page when they are approved,
h. Thc 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 Appendix 5 to the Basic Plan.
1. Along with the issuance of a revision, a list of affected pages will be
issued. This is to be included in the affected page index in the rear of the
CEMP.
.I, All Collier County documents incorporated by reference that refer to two
municipalities are understood to reflect the inclusion of a third
municipality, Marco Island.
II. SITUATION
Because of the existing and continuing possibility of the occurrence of large-scale natural or
technological disasters or emergencies 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 ensurc the most effective preparation and use of manpower, resources, and facilities. The
figures following dcpict Collier County specifics,

D. Economic Profile
Major industrial scctors within Collier County include services, retail trade, finance,
insurance, real estate, agriculture and construction. Historically, employment within the
County has been scasonal and largely attributable to a pleasant sub-tropical climate
during thc winter months, creating a seasonal-based tourist cconomy. Recently, however,
Collier County's scasonal population has stayed longer, thus adding additional diversity
to the County's economy. (The 2006 Economic, Demographic & Community Profile)

Collier County Comorehensive Emcrucncy Mana!!cment Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
F. Planning Assumptions
I. A disaster may occur with little or no warning, and may escalate more rapidly
than the ability of any singlc local response organization or jurisdiction can
manage.
2. Achieving and maintaining cffective citizen and community preparedness
reduces thc immediate demands on response organizations. This level of
preparcdness requircs continual public awareness and education programs to
ensurc citizens will takc appropriate advancc 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 thc 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 protccting 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 Statc resources and capabilities are exhausted, additional resources will be
requcsted through intcrstate mutual aid agreements and federal assistance.
9, Planning at thc county and State levels will be based on pre- identification of
populations and determination of resource shortfalls and contingencies. Persons
needing special care will contact Collier County Emergency Management
Department for registration as people with special needs assistance.
10. Therc 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 thc Tribcs as requested while
respecting the governmental sovereign nation status they hold in the United
States as sovereign nations. Effective emcrgency management requires the
cooperation, partnership, and mutua I consideration of neighboring governments,
whether those governments are neighboring tribes, local governments, or the
State. Accordingly, the Plan will cncourage early communication and partnership
among the two Indian tribes, local governments, and the State in emergency
management matters.

II. Each State agency and volunteer organization will document and seek
reimbursemcnt, 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 6, 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, exerciscs, and financial.

A. 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
Basic - 16
:r-tm I (of 3
Collier County Cornofchensive Emcreenev Manaucmenl Plan 2008
June 24. 2UOg
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 readincss guidelines that cnsure proper training, notification of
personnel and the availability of necded 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
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
I. All local response and recovery efforts (resources and requests for assistance)
will be coordinatcd, To this end, the following direct communications are
established: between coordinating offices in respective state and local EOCs, and
between ESFs in the respectivc 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 govcrnment, and contingent upon
availablc state staff, the Division of Emergency Management will send liaison
officcrs 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 thc Hurricane Warning Phase of the Time Delineation Schedule, post-storm
rcsponse activities begin. Among them arc coordination of preliminary damage
assessment, disaster recovery centers, temporary housing, public assistance, and
Presidential Declaration. Thcse activities continuc 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
Basic - 17
Collier County Comnrl:hensive Emcn!cncv Manal!emcnt Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
:r,.Jc.m llPf2
phone/radio in the Multi-Agency Communication & Coordination Vehicle (MAC-V).
Collier Emergency Radio Association (CERA) radio operators are also 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/Rcsponsibilities: Rccovery and Mitigation
In addition to thc activities outlined in Section IV, paragraph F.6, the Disaster Recovery
Task Force will address:
. Community recovery planning;
. Building and construction issues;
. Public and private linancing;
. Recovery management/information systems;
. Public information citizen outreach;
. Residential housing issucs/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 for events at FULL activation levcl will be coordinated through the lead of each
Emergency Support Function. At MONITORING and PARTIAL Activation levels all
taskings shall be coordinatcd through the Emergency Operations Center.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
This plan is based on the principle that the County bears thc initial responsibility for disaster
preparedness responsc, recovery and mitigation. As a corollary to this principle, each level within
local government wi II accomplish the functions for which it is responsible, requesting relief from
the next higher level of governmcnt only after resources at that level are inadequate to respond to
thc cmergency. Requests for statc assistance will usually be initiated only after a State of Local
Emcrgency has been declared.

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 thcir own emergency management programs. The Collier County
Emcrgency Managcment Department works closely with the City of Marco
Island, City of Naples, Evcrglades City, Collier County Sheriffs Office, Collier
County Public Schools District, and the Collier County Mosquito Control District
and the Indepcndent Fire Districts in coordinating resources and personnel.

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
Department becomes directly responsible to the Board of County Commissioners
during the emergency period.

Councils, respectively, As a result, the organizational structure
of each agcncy may changc to facilitate the performance of
emcrgency functions. All County agcncies and municipalities
must coordinate requests for State or Fcderal assistance through
thc Collier County Emcrgency Operations Center. This
rcquirement does not apply to rcquest for reimbursement under
the Fedcral Public Disaster Assislance Program.
b. Primary and Support Agencies' Responsibilities (ESFs)

activate the EOC will be determined by thc Emergency
Management Director, the County Manager or their designated
representatives. The level of activation will be determined at this
timc. For the affected municipalities, a liaison will be requested
to report to the County EOC. The Collier County Multi-Agency
Coordination and Communication Vehicle (MACC-V) is
available for deployment to provide on-scene support to the
Incident Commander for all incidents within Collier County
including municipalities.
Thc 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

U) 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 thc lead agency of each ESF.
(5) Transition between Response and Recovery
Initially after the disaster threat passes, first responders will be
performing life saving 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 ternl recovery activities can
bc 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 thcreafter.
(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
agrcements. 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 arc 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
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:

:T~m l~3
Collier County Comorchcn~ive Emenwncy Manallemcnt Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
a. Agency Participation
Collier Emergency Radio Association (CERA) and Amateur Radio
Association of Southwcst Florida (ARASWF) schedule one technical
meeting per month. Tests of the communications net are conducted
wcckly.
Hospitals and nursing homes are required to schedule two disaster related
drills per ycar to maintain their accreditation.
Training for Naples and Collier Airport Authorities are scheduled to
mcct Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements.
Training for primary responders is held several times per year.
When drills or exercises are conducted, only those agencies with a
rcsponse requirement are included. For examplc, a full-scale hurricane
cxcrcise would includc all agencies listed in Figure 6, Roles and
Responsibilities Overview. A hazardous materials drill, however, would
involve only thc agcncies that would respond in an actual event (e.g.,
Sheriffs Office, Fire District, EMS, pollution control, utility department,
road department, and cmergency management).
b. Inter-Agency Exerciscs
lntcragency 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. This cntails having all communications in
placc for both radio and television broadcasts from the EOC, In addition,
Collier County participatcs in the annual statewide hurricane exercise.
Figure 6, Roles & Responsibilities, identifies agencies likely to
participate in exercises.
d, Excrcisc Evaluation, and Deficiency Rcmediation
Representatives from emergency management agencies of neighboring

e, Requests for State Assistance:
Requests for state assistance must be forwarded to the SEOC for
assessment and approval before dcployment of state resources, (See
Figure 10, Emergcncy Management System).
Prior to requesting state assistance, the current situation must be
identified, the current and projectcd resource needs must be assessed, and
a time frame indicating how long the Statc resources would be needed
must bc identified. This should be done as early as possible in order for
the Statc to allocate resourccs.
When local and state resources are determined to be inadequate, the
Governor will request assistancc through the Federal Emergency
Managemcnt Agency (FEMA) channels. This request will be based on
local and state damage asscssments and expenditure reports that are to be
maintained and supplied by the County for each disaster related activity.
f. All County personnel are encouraged to dcvelop personal disaster plans,
which include safe havcn for family members and established points of
contact if sheltering is outside the area.
g. Rapid Impact Assessment Teams (RIA T) and Regional Response Teams
(RRT) are State controlled assets to be deployed into an impacted area,
The Standard Opcrating Guide for RIA T support defines the roles and
responsibilities of local RIA T tcam members to assist the State and
FLNG personnel in conducting a joint impact assessment. Primary and
secondary landing zones have been established to receive state personnel.
(See Figure 5, Emcrgency Management Support Facilities.)

(2) Out-of-County: Collier County Emergency Management will
coordinate with neighboring counties via ESA TCOM, Suncom,
or telephone.
c. Notification to the General Public
The Emergency Management Director (or representative) has the
responsibility for disseminating warnings to the general public via
facsimile to various public safety agencies, other jurisdictions, media,
hotels/motels and nursing/health facilities. All warnings affecting
Collier County will be disseminated to local media and public safety
agencies upon receipt of "hard copy," An attempt will be made to
transmit bulletins to other governmental and non-governmental agencies
if timc and resources pcrmit.
(I) Primary and Back-Up Warning Systems -
Warnings will be transmitted to WGCU 90.1 FM, & COM CAST
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 (Channel 25)
routinely transmits all warnings for this area upon receipt.
Collier County Emergency Management may also request, under
specific circumstances, that emergency action statements be
transmitted by the Weather Channel as a public service.
National Weather Service Forecast Office in Miami will activate
thc Emergency Alerting System (EAS) upon request of the EOC.
Various firc and law enforcement departments will accomplish
door to door checks for areas that are in peri I from hazardous
spills or fires. Checks will be gencrally based on the severity of
the evenl 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 Sheriffs Office and the Communication and
Customer Relations Department have TOO equipment for
providing information to the hearing impaired, As noted above,
FAX notification will bc made to hotels/motels in the area so
they may warn thc visiting public.

3. Evacuation
Evacuation zones and clearance times: Because of the unique threat posed by
each tropical cyclone, there are no static cvacuation zones. Thc storm surgc map
is a planning tool used to identify vulnerability to the watcr threat by a certain
level of tropical cyclone intcnsity and not an evacuation zonc map. The
Emcrgency Managcment Director makes his evacuation zone rccommendations
to the Board of County Commissioners to act upon. During tropical storm or
hurricanc events, all cvacuation mcasures must be takcn before the arrival of
sustained tropical storm force winds, (i.e., greater than 45 miles pcr hour). Aftcr
that timc power Iincs, trces, etc. will start falling. All public safety personncl in
thc atTected arca of tropical storm force winds will scek sheltero
a, Primary and Sccondary Evacuation Routes -
The primary evacuation routes out of the county are 1-75 and US-4l
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 thc Public Transportation Svstem: At the time that either a
voluntary or mandatory evacuation is madc, Collier Area Transit (CAT)
and Collicr County District Schools bus tleet will be used to help
facilitatc thc general population evacuation. The evacuation buses will
follow the normal CAT routes (depictcd on the map below) and deposit
passengers at the Transfer Station to be shuttled to a designated shelter.
Per spccial arrangements with thc hotels and with the firc departments in
Ochopee and lmmokalee, additional exprcss bus services will be
provided for the servicc industry workers who livc in Immokalee and for
thc communitics around Immokalee and the communities near the
intersection of US-4 I and SR-29, including Everglades City. Evacuation
bus services will cease with the arrival of the anticipated sustained winds
of 30 miles pcr hour. When the weathcr conditions are safe after thc
dcparture of the storm, those shuttled to a sheltcr will be returned to the
Transfer Station or community from which they came. See Figure 17,
Public Transportation & Evacuation System.

The County maintains a registry of individuals who have special
transportation and/or sheltering needs. The County's "Special Needs
Shelter SOO" serves as guidance for the transportation and sheltering of
special populations. Special Needs population evacuations get
precedence using the Collier County Public School District bus fleet
assets.
c. The Collier County Emergency Management Department 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 maintaincd in the Directors oftlce. These listings will be reviewed
and updated prior to July I of each year.
d. Collier County has ncither draw nor swing bridges.
e. Re-entry:
The incident commander or executive group, depending on the incident,
will permit re-entry into an arca according to the following guidelines:
(I) 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
cvacuation order within those areas of Collier County that
previously existed will bc rescinded to the degree appropriate.
An ordcrly 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
ESE 9, fire personnel operating under ESE 4, law
enforcement personnel operating under ESF J 6,
transportation crews opcrating undcr ESF I, utilities
personnel operating under ESF-3, and Health under
ESF-8.
. Level Two: Damage assessment teams and elected
officials dispatched under Rapid Impact Assessment,

roads, restoring utilities, and eliminating safety hazards
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 has adopted a color-coded reentry sticker

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 will identify their Recovery Manager. (Figurc 21, 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), Thercforc, ESF-5 will coordinate bringing all the eligible activities to
meet with FEMA after a disaster in order to facilitatc 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 bc media announcemcnts 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
represcntation of community interests. Chapter 38 ofthe Code of Laws [Civil
Emergencies] specifies who is a member of this task force. The purpose ofthis
group is to advise the BoCC on a wide range of post-disaster recovery,
reconstruction and mitigation issues. Thc 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
. Community Development and Environmental Services Administrator
. Public Utilitics Administrator
. Public Services Administrator
. Communications & Customer Relations Director
. Sheriff
. Transportation Administrator
. Florida Power & Light

The Collier County Timc Delineation Schedule (TDS) for hurricanes & storms
can be uscd for recovery actions in other disaster events. It specifies recovery
actions and thc 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 dcvclopment of Standard
Opcrating Guides.
Article I (Post-Disaster Recovery) of Chapter 38 of the Code of Laws &
Ordinances provides guidance for disaster recovery operations. This ordinance
cstablishes the Disaster Recovery Task Force. Additionally, it:
. Provides priorities for post-disaster redevelopment.
. Providcs priorities for essential services and facility restoration.
. Establishes policies for debris clearance and disposal.
. Establishes policies for damages determination, county Buildback,
building repair moratoria, building permitting, new development,
cmergency permitting. etc.
. Establishes policies on emergency repairs.
. Establishes policies on cconomic 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
assessmcnt 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 Dcclaration. Other federal agencies that may participate in
the assessment proccss includc 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)
and centers (facilities/activities) into the impacted area, Examples of some of

Collier County Comorehensive Emeruencv Management Plan 200H
June 24. 2aOS
a. Recovery Personnel
(I) Damage/Impact Assessment Team - A team deployed to conduct
asscssments of damages to public entities and individual homes
and businesses. The assessment quantities the extent of the
damage, the impact of the damages and is used to justify federal
assistance. Community Developmcnt & Environmental Serviccs
Division has the primary responsibility to field the initial impact
teams and report rcsults to ESF-5, Planning & Intel. Unless
otherwise coordinated, each Municipality will conduct their own
assessment and rcport results to the Emergency Operations
Center, ESF-5. Usually the assessments are of two types:
Windshield and post-disaster habitability inspections.
Windshield assessments are just as the name implies, teams
rapidly determine the scope and severity of the damage area
without leaving the roadway. Post-disaster habitability
inspections are thosc in whieh trained or qualified
engineers/inspectors determine the level of safe access to each
damaged structure and records those measures that need to be
taken beforc unlimited access is permitted.
(2) Community Relations Team - A team that is deployed into the
impactcd community to collect information as well as meet with
the disaster-affectcd community(ies) and eligible individuals in
receiving assistance. The primary function of this team is to
identify and report un met human needs and to inform disaster
victims of the disaster assistancc programs and registration
process. The Emergency Managemcnt 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 bc present, this
coordinator will interface with ESF-5 and Human Needs
Assessment teams to develop a human needs impact profile.
(3) Collier Emergency Response Volunteers (CERV) Committee for
Unmet Needs - A committee that helps identify unmet needs and
possible assistance. Such 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. Thcy 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
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.
Basic - 55

June 24 2008
Additionally, the Human Needs Coordinator, who maintains the
listing, will contact key community leaders regarding emergency
commun ity necds.
b. Recovery Facilities/Activities
Recovery opcration sites such as: recovery centers, disaster field office,
Disastcr Recovery Centers, and travel trailer/mobile home sites will be
sited nearest the victims using community park facilities and leased
commercial facilities.
(I) Disaster Recovery Center - Centers that are set up in a disaster
area to provide information on the complete range of disaster
assistancc that is available. The responsibility for managing
these centers is jointly shared by the State, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, and the county. The Centers
will be sited at, or near, the disaster areas, Community park
buildings havc been identified throughout the county and its
municipalities. Disaster Recovery Center administrative kits are
located at Guardian Seasonal Storage (Davis & Santa Barbara)
and will be delivered to each activated assistance center.
(2) Reconstruction Information Center(s) (RIC) - Centers that are
set up as onc-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 reconstmction and/or permitting
responsibilities. The primary RlC will be established at Collier
County Community Development & Environmental Services
Building, 2800 North Horseshoe Drive, if undamaged and
serviceable.
(3) Disaster Field Office (DFO) - When an area is identified to
receive a Presidential Disaster Declaration, the federal
government (FEMA) sets up a Disaster Field Office in or near
the affected area to coordinate fedcral recovery efforts with those
of state and local governments. The federal government and the
state government both have Coordinating Officers who serve as
thc respective heads of the recovery effort. The Emergency
Management Office will coordinate local activities to support the
DFO.
3, Public Assistance Activities
a. A Presidential Disastcr Declaration initiates a process that begins with
applicants filing a Request for Public Assistance at an applicant's
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 Office of
Management and Budget, with the assistance from the Emergency
Management Department, is responsible for administering the Public
Basic - 56
:r~vY1l~f3
Collier County Comnfchensive Emcracncy Mana!!cmcnt Plan 200S
June 24 200S
Assistance Program for the unincorporated area of the county. All
municipalities, not-for-profit and Indian tribes, will be notified of
application opportunities by the Emergency Management Department.
b. 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 ofthe Governor and the Florida
Legislature. In addition, the federal govcrnment does provide for an
administrativc cost allowancc for each eligible project that is 100 percent
federally funded.
d. The State serves as the Grantee and cligible applicants are Sub-grantees
under thc federal disaster assistance program. Contractual agreements
with the State Division of Emergency Management are executed with
applicants with all reimbursements coming through thc Division. Some
of the Sub-grantees within Collier County are: the Board of County
Commissioners, for those agencies which draw their monies from
Gcneral Revenue; eaeh Fire District, each City, the Collier School
District, each taxing district, etc.
e. Documentation, rccord 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
rccords 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
Fcderal or agency assistance available, the un met needs committee, para.
5 a. bclow, will be formed to see if any direct assistance agencies can
address the victim needs with their resources,
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.
Basic - 57

Collier County Comorehensive EmerlZencv Manae.ement Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
c, Disastcrs 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 grcatly assist the victims for Government to direct the
public to available housing; and, possibly local sources to assist the
victims.
5, EmergencylDisaster Support Activities other than Public Assistance or
Individuals & Household Programs.
a. Unmet Needs Coordination
The Collier Emergency Response Volunteers (CER V) 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 Appendices 6 & 15).
(I) Lead Person for Coordinating Volunteer Agencies Locally:
The Housing & Human Services Program Manager with CCEM
has lead responsibility for coordinating unmet needs agencies in
the event of an emergency,
(2) Agency Responsible for Vnmet Needs Coordination: Collier
County Emergency Management will support the coordination of
the un met nceds.
(3) Role & Responsibility for Vnmet Needs Coordinator: The
Housing & 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
dec lared or undeclared emergency that requires a response to the
Basic - 58
:r ~(Y\ lloF3
Collier County COlTIDrehensive Emergency Management Plan 2008
June 24 2008
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: Agencies that coordinate the skills of volunteers are
utilized during an emergency. The agencies come together as
CERV during the crisis and will disperse to non emergency
rcsponse status once the needs are resolved. These agencies are
usually thosc identified with ESFs 6 and 15.
(6) Process for IdentifYing Local Unmet Needs and the Process to
Address Them: Generally, agcncies (both non profit and profit)
will notify the CCEM ofthe 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
the American Red Cross, will field damage assessment teams to
get a sense ofthe community's needs.
(7) Training: In addition to Figure 14, above, training and seminars
are available through several resources. Local businesses that
special in home care offer classes; seminars are given CCEM
stafT; training is offered through CCEM for weather
emergencies; appropriate agencies provide clear directives on
home care and debris removal.
b. Emergency assistance may be provided through other State programs
such as:
. Small Cities Community Development Block Grant.
. Community Services Block Grant,
. Low-Incomc Home Energy Assistancc Program.
. Low-Income Emergency Home Repair Program.
. Homc Invcstment 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:
Basic - 59

. Guidelines for Acquiring Damaged Property
Emergency Support Function 5, Planning & Intelligence, is the section
rcsponsible 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 (NFlP)
The three municipalities as well as unincorporated Collier County participate in
the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). All jurisdictions (except
Evergladcs City) participate in the NFIP Community Rating System.
G. Mitigation
I. Collier County Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group (Pre-Disaster)
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 Collicr County Citizen Corps. The
purpose of the Working Group is to identify new mitigation opportunities,
tcchniques and, if necessary, rcprioritize existing mitigation projects. This group
meets at least annually and after every disaster event that causes significant
damages to infrastructure. This group is responsible for maintaining the Collier
County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
2. lnteragcncy Hazard Mitigation Team (Post-Disaster)
Mitigation Planning A,'sumption: Damagedfacilities should have mitigation
measures considered in its repair (406 program). All other mitigation measures
to non damaged structures should he addressed through the procedures address
within the Collier County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
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,
Basic - 60
Collier County Comofehensive Emerl!encv Manallemcnt Plan lOOg
'l-tem I CoB
June 24. 2008
including performancc 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 failurcs and recommend mitigation
activities that would prevent a recurrence. Reprcsentatives from the
municipalitics as well as the County will be asked to participate on the IHMT.
Due to the nature of the disastcr, the amount of people and equipment will vary.
Equipment and vchicles 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 idcntified in Figure 14, above,
The vast majority of the county is above the 1 DO-year flood plain; repetitive
losses from flooding are down to virtually nonexistent. Frequent review and
update of Building Codes have resulted in three modifications since 1992.
Potential applicants for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Programs will
bc notified via facsimile. Agencies from County, Municipal, Indian tribes and
Not-for-Profit organizations with a public safety role are included on the
notification list.
Post-disastcr mitigation activities within Collier County require a well-
orchestrated and coordinated effort among the various levels of governments.
Under the Federal Rcsponse 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 managemcnt specialists. One of the major
tasks assigned to thc Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for Mitigation is to
assure that mitigation disaster operations arc integrated and unified with the State
and local recovcry cfforts. The State Mitigation Officer, working under thc
direction of the Deputy State Coordinating Officer for Recovery should work in
conccrt with the Deputy Federal Coordinating Officcr for Mitigation to assure
that the State is aware of and takes advantage of all available mitigation
opportunities.
a. Post-Disastcr Mitigation
(I) Mitigation Preliminary Damage Assessment - The Collier
County Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team may request from
the Statc Mitigation Officer to assign mitigation personnel to
assist the community in conducting a Mitigation Preliminary
Damage Assessment. The purposc of the Mitigation Preliminary
Damage Assessment is to identify the causes of specific disaster
related damagc 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 Assessmcnt Report - The State Mitigation Officer
coordinates with the Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for
Basic - 61
Collier County Comorehensive Emcf!!encY Manac:cmcnt Plan 2008
::I.hrl t (0 f-3
June 24 200r!
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 Statc and federal funds for mitigation
purposcs. The Report is also the appropriate plan to identify any
rccommended 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 fedcrally sponsored program
administered by thc Florida Division of Emergency
Management, Bureau of Recovery and Mitigation. The program
providcs State funds equal to 20 percent of the total federal
disaster expenditures in the aftermath of a Presidential Declared
disaster. Thesc funds have a 25 perccnt nonfederal match
requirement, and are distributed as grants to the communities
affcctcd by the disaster to implement the mitigation projects
identificd in the local miligation strategy.
(4) Coordinatc with the Deputy Statc Coordinating Officer and the
State Recovcry Officer to assure that the mitigation opportunities
provided undcr 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 rcsidential structure, Thc Minimization Program offers grants
to eligiblc homeowners based on 25 percent of the total
Individual and Family Grant award rcceivcd 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
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

June 24. 2008
Federal Emergency Management Agency Regional Director. The State
Mitigation Officer will designate staff to support mitigation outreach at
established Disaster Rccovery 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
Hazard Mitigation Plan.
c. Long Term Redevelopment Activities
The Department of Community Affairs 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 un met needs identified after a disaster.
H. MobilizationlDeployment 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. All requests for
assistancc should be coordinated through the Collier County Emergency Management
Department/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.
I, Requesting Party responsibilities include:
a. A description of the type assistance needed.
b. A description of the types of personnel, equipment, services and supplies
needed.

Use of Local Firms and Individuals.
In the expenditure of Federal funds for debris clearance, distribution of supplies and other
major disaster or emcrgcncy 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. (lAW USC 42 (307) 5150).
Basic - 64
:r:bn ltoe
Collier County COffiorehcnsive Emergency Manal!ement Plan 2008 ____
June 24. 2008
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 I to Basic, ESF 7 for additional information.
C. Reporting Tasks and Established Deadlines
Disastcr assistance grants are governed by time limits under 44 CFR, Part 206, and can
be extended until the work is completed.
D. Records Maintenance
I. Local Accounting
Each subdivision may allocate and expend funds as appropriate for local
emergency operations. Complete, accurate accounts of emergency expenditures
and obligations, including pcrsonnel and equipment costs, must be maintained.
For the ease of capturing response and recovery expenditures, a separate disaster-
rclated coding system should be used or use the forms found in Appendix 2 to
Basic Plan includes personnel, materials, equipmcnt, 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
Basic - 65
-:r.jeVYl tM3
Collier County Comorehensivc Emerl.!encY Manai.!C111cnt Plan 2008
June 24. 200le!
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 Department 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:
. Rccord of expenditures and obligations;
. Log of actions taken;
. Recordings of ESA TCOM 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. Emergcncy Reporting
Emergency reports such as preliminary damage assessment reports are the
necessary basis for the Governor's decision to declare a state of disaster
cmcrgency and to request a Prcsidential emergency or disaster declaration.
Updates giving new developments and more complete Information Center will be
forwarded as new information becomes available in the most expeditious manner
availablc, i.e., facsimile, ESATCOM, INTERNET, "EM Constellation".
4. After Action Reports
The Emergency Management Director will provide reporting requirements and
suspcnse 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 Managcment, and the effectiveness
of mutual aid agreements.
VI. Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG)
Basic - 66
Collier County COlTIorehensive Emcmencv Manallcment Plan 2008
:r~t'Vl L to-f3
June 24. 2008
Continuity of Operations (COOP) is a process within individual departments and agencies
to ensure the continued performance of minimum esscntial functions during a wide range of
potential emergencies. This is accomplished through the developmcnt 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 timelrames: 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 Ciovernment 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.
I. Each agency/activity governed by this CEMP will analyze its functions and rank-
ordcr the services/activities from the most to the least critical. The results of this
process/exercise can be contained in a Divisional standard operating procedure
(SOG). 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 scrvice 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 chicf 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 ofthe 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
Basic - 67
Collier County Comnrehensive Emergency Mana2.ement Plan 2008
:f-tm U.of3
June 24. 2008
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 levcls below thc manager.
E. Alternate Facilitics
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 stafT. This information should be maintained in an
organizational SOG.
F. Interoperable Communications
I. The Emergency Managemcnt 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
cquipment.
2. Administrativc Services Division 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 I surge zone. All agencies should
regularly review various methods to protect vital rccords based on the associated hazard,
I. All county agencies must ensure the protection of their records so that normal
procedurcs may continue after the disaster. Departments within the
Administrative Services Division 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 oftcn be saved by prompt salvage action, Technical
guidance for rccords salvagc operations may be obtained from the State Division
of Emergcncy Managemcnt or the Collier County Emergency Management
Departmcnt.
3. Vital records that establish or protect the rights of citizens and government are
dividcd into two categories:
. Category A: Records needed for the emergency operation of government
during a disaster; and
Basic - 68
:GIc'rn llof3
Collier County Comorchensivc Emeruencv Mana!!:cment Plan 200S
June 24. 200R
. 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
personncl issues that could affect your plan. Insure you address timing for employees to
take care of pcrsonal matters while assuring the operation maintains a minimal acceptable
level of performance.
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 thc 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.
1. Security
Depending on the emergcncy 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 thc activities you plan to accomplish to cyber security of the
vital records you deal with.
K. Test, Training & Equipment
To makc the Continuity of Operations and Continuity of Govcrnment Plans viable, all
employees necd to be trained regularly on various elements of the plans in order to make
sure all are aware of their roles and rcsponsibilities as well as validate the currency of
plans and procedures. See Section IV, D (Preparcdness) for information on training and
exercise opportunities.
L. Emergency Actions
The Collicr Countv Comorehensive Emergencv Management Plan assigns lead and
support responsibilities to County agencies and personnel for emergency support
functions and other support activities. Specific emergcncy delegations are contained in
this plan. The head of each tasked organization shall identify a pcrson as the emergency
coordination ofticer (ECO) for that agency to Ihe Collier County Emergency
Management Office,
The ECO is rcsponsible for coordinating with the Emergency Management Office on
emergency preparedness issues, preparing and mainlaining emergency preparedness and
post disaster response and recovery plans for such agency, maintaining rosters of

PURPOSE
ESF 4 will coordinate and direct all fire suppression efforts in Collier County.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Collier County is divided into nine (9) fire districts, with each district having a Fire chief, who will be the
incident commander during a fire incident in his district. Lines of the districts are: City of Naples, North
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 4 - Page 1
June 24, 2008
34trn Uof~
Naples, East Naples, Golden Gate, Marco Island, Isles of Capri, Big Corkscrew, Immokalee and
OchopeelEverglades City.
The responsibility for all types of fire suppression is vested in the Chief whose district the fire takes place,
regardless of type (structural, grassland, forest or vehicle).
All fire control districts cooperate fully with the Emergency Management Department for coordination of
resources.
The Collier County Emergency Management Mobile Command Center will be dispatched upon request by the
on-scene Incident Commander. Upon arrival, a determination will be made by the Incident Commander to
activate the Collier County EOC for resource support.
Assistance is also available through the Division of Forestry (Caloosahatchee District), by telephone or radio.
If the need arises, the Division of Forestry may request, through the Governor, in-state assistance by personnel
of the Florida Army National Guard. Additional assistance may be requested under the Southeastern State
Forest Fire Compact Commission.
In the event that combined resources are insufficient, or the danger is of major disaster potential, the Division
of Forestry may request (through the Governor) federal fire suppression assistance under Public Laws 93-288
and 100-707. Requests for federal assistance will be made by the Governor (or his representative) to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Director of the Division of Forestry (acting as the Governor's
representative concurrently with the Director of the State Division of Emergency Management) will prepare the
Governor's request and submit it to the FEMA Regional Director by telephone, confirming it by facsimile. See
Annex C, Wildfire Response, to this plan for details.
The director of FEMA may make a declaration. The Regional Director will notify the Governor of that
decision by telephone, confirming it by facsimile.
Federal assistance will be managed at the State level by the Director, Division of Forestry, in cooperation with
the Director of the State Division of Emergency Management.
A Presidential declaration of a major disaster is not required to make fire suppression equipment available
under Public Laws 93-2898 and 100-707. Eligible costs are reimbursable under terms of the continuing
FederaVState agreement for fire suppression assistance.

Disaster Temporary Housing Strategy
Attachment 1
PURPOSE:
Develop a strategy that addresses emergency housing needs once "risk-shelters" close. 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: 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.
. EmerQency ManaQement Deoartment will maintain this strategy.
. American Red Cross will mainly be responsible for administering short-term housing as it relates
to shelters.
. Collier County Parks & Recreation Deoartment 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 Deyelooment Council (TDC) will maintain contacts with the hotel-motel industry for

disaster housing use and provide land use verification for potential housing missions to include zoning
restrictions and elevation determinations.
SHORT-TERM 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 County 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.
. TOC will prepare a listing of hotel/motel room availability and furnish it to the State/FEMA Housing
Officer.
. COES 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 COES departments, will facilitate
placing people in leased accommodations within the community.
. COES will facilitate the legal requirements to allow travel trailers to be temporarily placed within
housing communities while repairs to the permanent homes occur.
. COES 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)

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 Department 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 Department will plan for their Parks employees being avaiiable to distribute
product to the disaster victims. They will be the lead agency for each POD.
. Code Enforcement Department 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 Department will plan to identify employees to staff each POD 72-hours alter
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 will arrange for contracts for material handling equipment and POD
support items, e.g., lighting units, porta-potties, etc.
. Each citywiil 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 I to Basic
ESF 6 - Pa!!e 7
June 24, 2008
~1efY' Itof3
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.

use of resources in both Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and Search and Rescue (SAR) in response to
actual or potential emergencies.
Appendix I to Basic
ESF 9 - Page 1
June 24,2008
:T -b'vllt.of'3
Scope
Wilderness SAR activities include, but are not limited to;
. Emergency incidents that involve locating missing persons
. Locating boats which are lost at sea
. Locating downed aircraft
. Extrication if necessary
. Treating any victims upon their rescue.
The USAR activities include, but are not limited to;
. Locating, accessing, stabilizing and removing victims trapped in collapsed structures and
confined spaces.
The provision of Emergency Search and Rescue Operations Support includes:
. Performing necessary actions to locate victims within impacted areas.
. Coordinating Search and Rescue Assistance Requests from other emergency operations
centers and other ESFs received through the EOC.
. Coordinating, allocating and prioritizing Search and Rescue Operations Resources to

. Performing necessary actions to assist with rapid impact assessment during recovery
operations.
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:
I. To locations or events where there may be numerous trapped or vulnerable vlcl1ms 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.
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 9 - Page 2
June 24, 2008
-:r -fcvY1. 1~3
3. Responding to and implementing public safety and protective actions.
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,
foodlhydration, shelter and medical care. ESF-9 will interface with ESF-8, ESF-II and ESF-15.
Assignment of Responsibilities
Lead Agency
The Collier County Emergency Medical Services Department is designated as the Lead Agency for this
ESF and will coordinate all activities of ESF-9. As the Lead Agency they are responsible for the
following:
I. Notification, activation and mobilization, through Collier County Emergency Management
(CCEM), of all agencies assigned to the ESF.
2. Organization, assignment and staffing of all facilities at which this ESF is required to be located.
3. Coordination of all support agency actions in performance of missions assigned to this ESF.
4. Coordinating requests for assistance and additional resources in performance of the mission of
this ESF from all assigned agencies and forwarding them to the appropriate ESF or agency.
5. Providing situation reports as to ESF-9 status reports to ESF-5 periodically or on request.
6. ESF-9 will interface with ESF-6 and ESF-8 to assist with medical treatment of patients as needed.
7. ESF-9 will interface with the Medical Examiner for all fatalities.
8. ESF-9 will collect, coordinate and distribute 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.
Support Agencies
All support agencies of this ESF are responsible for the following:
I. Notifying, activating, and mobilizing all personnel and equipment to perform or support assigned
functions as designated within the Basic Plan of this document or the response actions of this
annex.
2. The designation and assignment of personnel for staffing of all facilities at which this ESF is
required, and representation is detennined by the primary agency of this ESF to be necessary.
3. Coordination of all actions of the support agency with the primary agency in performing assigned
missions of the ESF.
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 9 - Page 3 June 24, 2008
~M lLpf3
4. Identifying all personnel and resource requirements to perform assigned missions that are 10
excess of the support agencies capabilities.
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.
Resource Coordination
This ESF will provide resources using its Primary and Support agency authorities and capabilities, in
coordination with other ESFs, to support its missions. This ESF will allocate available resources to each
mission based upon priorities identified by the EOC. If resources are unavailable within this ESF, this
ESF, through CCEM, will request assistance from either the State Emergency Response Team (SERT)
Liaison in the EOC, if one is available or, the corresponding ESF at the State EOC or Federal Disaster
Field Office. All resources will be directed to a pre-designated staging area.
All municipalities and all other ESFs will coordinate with this ESFs representation at the EOC when
requesting emergency support or disaster assistance from this ESF.
Response and Recovery Coordination
1. ESF-9 may, through CCEM, request assistance from ESF-9 at the State and Federal level.
2. State assets will be coordinated by this ESF to assist and augment local agencies with their
Emergency Search and Rescue Operations responsibilities and efforts.
3. Multi-jurisdictional Search and Rescue Operations responses will be coordinated by ESF-9.
Operating Facilities
In addition to the operating facilities identified in the Basic Plan of this document, a Field Operations
Center (FOC) may be established and utilized by this ESF when deemed necessary.
Coordination of Actions
All agencies assigned with this ESF shall coordinate all actions in performance of emergency response
and assistance missions with the Lead Agency of this ESF in the EOC.
Assumptions
1. A major or catastrophic disaster may result in a substantial number of persons being in life-
threatening situations requiring prompt rescue and medical care. Since the first 72 hours are
crucial to lessening the mortality rate, SAR/USAR must begin immediately. Depending upon the
type and magnitude of the disaster, urban, rural, or wilderness SAR may be mandated.
SAR/USAR personnel will potentially have to deal with extensive damage to buildings,
roadways, public works, communications, and utilities. Secondary to the precipitous event,
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 9 - Page 4
June 24, 2008
~ tl.Q-f3
effects such as fires, explosions, flooding, and hazardous material releases may compound
problems and may threaten both survivors and rescue personnel.
2. Under the best of circumstances, the management and coordination of a large Search and Rescue
Operation is complex and may involve multiple agencies. Victims from emergency or hazardous
conditions of potentially disastrous proportion, or which are coincident with any other emergency
situation, will place excessive requirements upon local Search and Rescue Operations.
3. In the wake of the disaster, many of the local resources may be unavailable due to damage or
inaccessibility, or the local resources may not be sufficient to handle the demand for assistance.
This may require that significant amounts of resources will have to be transported into the area.
Planning Assumptions
I. All available local SARlUSAR resources will be committed, and additional help will be needed
from outside sources.
2. Coordination and direction of the local efforts, including volunteers, will be required.
3. Damaged areas may have access restrictions and not be readily accessible except, in some cases,
by air or boat. In some cases specialized equiprnent such as brush trucks or swamp buggies may
be utilized.
4. Secondary events or disasters may threaten survivors as well as SARlUSAR personnel.
5. Coordination with municipalities, critical facilities, other ESFs efforts, and other government
agencies will be required.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
General
During declared States of Local Emergency, the Lead Agency of this ESF is responsible for implementing
its functions. A representative of the Lead Agency will be available in the EOC during activation to
respond to requests for support submitted to this ESF. This person will staff the work station assigned to
this ESF in the EOC, and will identify which support agencies for the ESF are required, and take steps to
assure that support agencies are acti vated or on alert as appropriate.
ESF-9 will coordinate the provision of other jurisdictional search and rescue operations personnel and
equipment. It will also coordinate the mobilization of resources through the CCFC Association, Florida
Fire Chief's Association (FFCA) Fire Rescue Disaster Plan. It will additionally coordinate with ESF-15
for the utilization of other resources volunteered from other sources.

Types of Federal Disaster Victim Assistance, When Warranted
Following is a summary of key federal disaster aid programs that can be made available as needed and
warranted under President Bush's major disaster declaration.
Assistance for Affected Individuals and Families Can Include as Required:
. Rental payments for temporary housing for those whose homes are unlivable. Initial assistance
may be provided for up to three months for homeowners and at least one month for renters.
Assistance may be extended if requested after the initial period based on a review of individual
applicant requirements. (Source: FEMA funded and administered.)
. Grants for home repairs and replacement of essential household items not covered by insurance to
make damaged dwellings safe, sanitary and functional. (Source: FEMA funded and administered.)
. Grants to replace personal property and help meet medical, dental, funeral, transportation and
other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance or other federal, state and charitable
aid programs. (Source: FEMA funded at 75 percent of total eligible costs; 25 percent funded by
the state.)
. Unemployment payments up to 26 weeks for workers who temporarily lost jobs because of the
disaster and who do not qualify for state benefits, such as self-employed individuals. (Source:
FEMA funded; state administered.)
. Low-interest loans to cover residential losses not fully compensated by insurance. Loans available
up to $200,000 for primary residence; $40,000 for personal property, including renter losses.
Loans available up to $1.5 million for business property losses not fully compensated by
insurance. (Source: U.S. Small Business Administration.)
. Loans up to $1.5 million for small businesses that have suffered disaster-related cash flow
problems and need funds for working capital to recover from the disaster's adverse economic
impact. This loan in combination with a property loss loan cannot exceed a total of $1.5 million.
(Source: U.S. Small Business Administration.)
. Loans up to $500,000 for farmers, ranchers and aquaculture operators to cover production and
property losses, excluding primary residence. (Source: Farm Service Agency, U.S. Dept. of
Agriculture. )
. Other relief programs: Crisis counseling for those traumatized by the disaster; income tax
assistance for filing casualty losses; advisory assistance for legal, veterans benefits and social
security matters.
Assistance for the State and Affected Local Governments Can Include as Required:
. Payment of more than 75 percent of the approved costs for hazard mitigation projects undertaken
by state, tribal and local governments to prevent or reduce long-term risk to life and property from
Appendix I to Basic
ESF 14 - Page 7
JUIl~ 24, 2008
::::r elYl \ It'1j
natural or technological disasters. (Source: FEMA funded, state administered.)
How to Apply for Assistance:
. Those in the counties designated for assistance to affected residents and business owners can begin
the disaster application process by registering online at www.fema.gov or by calling 1-800-621-
FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired. The toll-free
telephone numbers are available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (local time) seven days a week. Applicants
registering for aid should be prepared to provide basic information about themselves (name,
permanent address, and phone number), insurance coverage and any other information to help
substantiate losses.
. Application procedures for local governments will be eXplained at a series of federaVstate
applicant briefings with locations to be announced in the affected area by recovery officials.
Approved public repair projects are paid through the state from funding provided by FEMA and
other participating federal agencies.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of,
responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of
terror.

Tips to Speed Disaster Victim Assistance
In order for a community to receive a formal Presidential Disaster Declaration, FEMA must conduct a damage
assessment. The following details the process:
Be Alert for Disaster Fraud
FEMA inspectors carry official photo identification. FEMA urges residents to ask for photo
identification from damage inspectors, who will have specific FEMA identification showing that
they are authorized to conduct an inspection.
Anyone who suspects they may have been unfairly targeted for fraud should report the incident.
. FEMA IDs carry the person's name and photo, and the FEMA seal and the ill's expiration
date are highly visible.
. A FEMA ID includes a "property of the U.S. Government" disclairner, a return address
and a barcode.
. Official inspectors never ask for money or use a vehicle bearing a FEMA logo.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, rnitigating the
effects of, responding to, and recovering frorn all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-
made, including acts of terror.
The following information should be made available to the public upon receiving a Presidential Disaster
Declaration.
Action plan to help speed the possibility of obtaining state and federal disaster aid:
. Apply as soon as possible. Homeowners, renters, and business owners who suffered losses must
call the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) tele-registration line to apply for
assistance at (800) 621-FEMA (3362) or TTY (800) 462-7585, or go online at www.fema.gov.
. Apply, even if you are insured. Your insurance coverage may not be adequate and some
foundation damage may not show up until later. Anyone who suffered any damage or loss should
apply for assistance.
. Remember, disaster assistance covers a wide range of losses. Disaster-related damage or loss of
essential personal property, anything from a wheelchair to a major appliance, may qualify for some
form of federal/state assistance.
. Stay in touch and keep appointments. After you have applied for disaster assistance, a FEMA
inspector will make an appointment to visit your home, usually within two to three days. Make
every effort to be at home or call to change the appointment by using the FEMA tele-registration
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 14 - Page 9
Jun~ 24, 2008
:I~(Y) lLPf3
line at (800) 621-FEMA (3362) or TTY (800) 462-7585.
. Visit a Disaster Recovery Center. Federal and State officials are available to meet with residents at
locations to be announced.
. Return all forms promptly. After applying, you may receive a U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA) low-interest loan application package in the mail. Fill out and return these forms promptly
since they are an essential part of the disaster-assistance process.
. Rebuild with disaster prevention in mind. If you receive an emergency housing repair grant from
FEMA, a follow-up letter will arrive after you receive your check. That letter will identify the
purpose of the grant and will highlight the need to make repairs that will lessen the risks of future
losses.
What to Expect After Applying
If you are deemed eligible for disaster assistance, you will receive a letter from FEMA providing guidance
on your disaster relief grant.
FEMA disaster assistance is not intended to restore you to your pre-disaster condition. It is to help you get
safe and sanitary housing and meet your other critical needs so you can begin your long-term recovery. The
SBA offers low-interest federal disaster loans to repair or replace damaged or destroyed property.
You can call the tele-registration line for answers to your questions about federal assistance. If you are not
satisfied with FEMA's decision on your application, you can file an appeal in writing to the address listed
in the letter you receive. Appeals must be filed within 60 days of the date of the FEMA letter.
Before starting any repairs or reconstruction, check with local building officials on what permits and
inspections might be needed. If you were displaced from your home and incurred hotel or motel expenses,
save those receipts and check with FEMA on how you might be reimbursed.
File your insurance claim as soon as possible. Failure to file within 12 months can affect your eligibility for
FEMA assistance. Call FEMA if your insurance settlement is delayed, if it does not cover your loss, or if
your additional living expense benefit is exhausted.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of,
responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of
terror.
Schedule Damage Inspection by FEMA
The srnall corps of inspectors working for the U.S. Departrnent of Homeland Security's Federal
Ernergency Management Agency (FEMA) move systernatically around the area to assess
property darnage left behind by the disaster event.
The U.S. Srnall Business Adrninistration (SBA) as well as insurance companies also have
inspectors in the field.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this ESF is to expedite the delivery of voluntary goods and services to support the relief
effort in the County before and after a disaster impact.
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:
I. Maintaining a volunteers and donations phone and data bank.
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 15 - Page 1
June 24, 2008
:L-t:'rn 1l.t:F3
2. Assessing and prioritizing affected areas -un met needs.
3. Deploying resources, both human and material, to meet specified needs.
4. Maintaining contact with the SEOC ESF 15.
ASSUMPTIONS
I. 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.
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
I. 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 RIA T deployments as well as field reports
from Collier County Emergency Divisions 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 Department 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. Donations and volunteers solicited and collected by specific organizations are the responsibility of that
agency, within their respective plans and procedures. The ESF IS plan is not meant to interfere with
that process.
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 15 - Page 2
Junt:24,2008
T-bnlL0f3
5. ESF 15 in concert with ESF 7 - Resource Support will contact authorized vendors to supply unmet
needs. ESF 15 with the assistance ofESF 14 - Public Information will solicit support from volunteer
groups to address unmet needs; this request will also be disseminated to all local media via "blast fax".
6. Donations will not be requested without first obtaining concurrence ofESF-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
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 I), Public Information (ESF
14), Resource Support (ESF 7), as well as the municipal liaisons. Close coordination between regional
recovery sites and other impacted counties will be of primary concern.
2. County:
The volunteer liaison assigned by the Collier County Emergency Management Department will
work from the County EOC and will interface with the Volunteers and Donations Command
Center (V ADCC) that will be established at the Collier County Recovery Center, at a Collier
County Community Center located near the disaster area. The Volunteer Coordinator appointed
by Collier County Emergency Management located at the EOC will interface with local volunteer
agencies. When Collier County resources are inadequate, the Volunteer Liaison, located at the
Collier EOC, will contact the SEOC for additional assistance. A Donations Liaison will also be
designated who will coordinate with the Logistics Section to receive the distribution sites within
the County to ensure appropriate donated goods to meet specified needs.
3. Regional
A Regional Recovery Center will be identified and activated as needed. For this region, this center will
most likely be located at the Tampa Fairgrounds, conditions permitting. The toll free line for resources
will be directly accessible to the Recovery Center(s). When goods are not available from the database,
Recovery Centers will contact the SEOC for assistance. Until these centers are activated, resources
will be received electronically and stored on database.
ORGANIZATION
In the Incident Management System, ESF 15 is a function in the Human Services Branch and reports through
the Operations Section, Response Unit.
RESPONSIBILITIES
I. Coordinate the receipt of offers and requests for volunteer services and donated goods.
2. Expedite the delivery of voluntary goods and services to support the relief efforts in areas impacted by

Attachment 1
Pet Friendly Adjacency Shelter
Concept of Operations
PURPOSE:
To control and support the humane care and treatment of domestic animals during an emergency
situation by providing a Pet Friendly Adjacency Shelter for the citizens of Collier County. 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 Coilier County Animal League, American Red Cross, Collier County
Sheriff's Office, Collier County Facilities Department, Parks and Recreation, and the Emergency
Management Department.
. 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, 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 Parks and Recreation, American Red Cross, The Collier County Animal
League, Collier County Sheriff's Office and Collier County Facilities Department. 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 Phone Master system will communicate to all pre-registered pet owners of whether they are
eligible for sheltering or not.
Appendix 1 to Basic
ESF 17 - Pal!e 4
June 24, 2008
:r:-t:'m ItF3
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
potentially access "Port 0 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. Ensure that all participants
review the National Incident Management System (NIMS) roles and responsibilities (attached). The
following is a list of agencies that are required notification:

B. Extreme ColdlFreeze
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 crops. This part of the plan is implemented when temperatures are expected to

frequent here in the summer and fall months. The EOC is not likely to be
activated beyond a Level Three, unless a tornado F-I, or greater, impacts
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

(4) Keep the Emergency Management office advised on the finding
of the Damage Assessment.
c. Transportation Division will:
(I) Provide a liaison to the EOC when requested.
(2) Coordinate response activities from the EOC.
d. Community Development & Environmental Services Division will:
(I) Provide a liaison to the EOC post-disaster impact.
(2) Assume the Lead Agency responsibilities for Recovery
Operations.
e. Collier Sheriff will:
(I) Provide liaison to EOC when requested.
(2) Coordinate traffic activities
f. Communication & Community Relations Department will activate ESF-
14 in the EOC.
4. Level One, Full Activation
This level of activation would occur if a catastrophic tornado, F-3, or greater,
impacted lives and property within Collier. Should this, occur, all actions
described in the Basic Plan will occur.
D. Drought
I. 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
a. Emergency Management Office will:
(I) 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. Public Services Division (Dept. of Health) will 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 & Community Relations Department will activate ESF-
14 in the EOC.
d. All governmental agencies will disperse their equipment out of harms
way, dispatch liaisons to the EOC and complete TDS.
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.

II. FORWARD
The communities of Collier County, Florida, like all communities in the state, are
vulnerable to a terrorist or cyberterrorist 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
cyberterrorist 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 cyberterrorist 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). 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 terrorist or cyberterrorist incident occurring or affecting
the county.

Annex B page- 2
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex establishes the operational
concepts to be used by local law enforcement, fire/rescue, and health and medical
services organizations to guide and manage their response to terrorist incidents
involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) agents.
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 terrorist act occurring in or impacting Collier County. It identifies the
current situation in Collier County regarding its vulnerability to a terrorist attack and how
the local response agencies and organizations would respond to such an event. The
emphasis of the annex is to guide the specialized 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 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.

Annex B page- 8
IV. INTRODUCTION
This annex to the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan guides
the actions of local response 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.
Due to the highly destructive and technical nature of cyber and CBRNE terrorist
incidents, special technical expertise, training, and equipment are required to provide a
public safety, health, and medical services response in an extremely time-critical
manner. Depending on the characteristics of the incident, this may exceed the
capabilities and resources of Collier County response organizations. In anticipation of
such circumstances, the State of Florida has established Regional Domestic Security
Task Forces (RDSTF) and the Florida Incident Field Operations Guide (FOG) that would
be accessed by Collier County response organizations when necessary. The FOG is a
compact reference document designed to be transported into the field by responders. It
addresses each response agency and follows the Incident Command System.
This annex guides the actions of Collier County response organizations when managing
the impacts of a terrorist event with their own resources or when it is necessary to
request assistance through the RDSTF. The RDSTF strategic concept has two major
tenets. First, to assist local government agencies and key private sector assets to gain
the additional necessary capability and expertise to effectively and appropriately respond
in a coordinated manner to a local terrorist incident. Second, to significantly improve
area capability to rapidly augment local governments in responding to a major terrorist
incident.
Building enhanced area capability through the RDSTF is an on-going process that
includes the following key activities:
1) Analysis of potential threats and potential threat elements (PTE),
2) Building and maintaining communication links between agencies,
3) Prevention of terrorist incidents,
4) Planning, training, and exercises,
5) Developing pharmaceutical and equipment caches,
6) Developing an information management operation system for first responders,
7) Identifying local laboratory support,
8) Information sharing, through organizations such as InfraGard, and
9) Enhancing existing mutual aid agreements.
10) Developing and supporting regional response assets.
The remaining sections of this annex describe the characteristics of the approach to be
utilized by Collier County to implement the specialized functions necessary when
-::[bn J~
Annex B page- 9
responding to a terrorist incident, including utilization of the RDSTF. General response
operations necessary to prevent or mitigate the consequences of a terrorist event are
established in Collier County's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
~ 1&:P3
Annex B page- 10
V. SITUATION
In late 2003, Collier County and its municipalities conducted an assessment 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 assessment was done in
accord with State and Federal guidance, and, for confidentiality reasons, the results are
only summarized here to define a framework for the operational concepts incorporated
into the Annex.
The results of the assessment indicate that there are several facilities and systems in
Collier County that could become the targets for a terrorist attack, and that there have
been numerous incidents in the county that can be considered terrorist-related or are
hoaxes threatening terrorist acts, such as bomb scares. In addition, the assessment
indicated there are a small number of potential threat elements (PTE) that are locally
based organizations or individuals considered by law enforcement agencies as potential
perpetrators of future terrorist incidents.
The assessment also indicated that the level of training of county and municipal
response organizations in operations relevant to terrorist incidents is limited. The
equipment resources of these agencies are similarly limited at the current time.
Therefore, the situation is that the local response agencies of Collier County will need to
focus on the prevention and containment of a CBRNE incident until additional resources
and expertise can be provided by response personnel from mutual aid organizations and
the RDSTF, as well as other State and Federal personnel.
Background information regarding a range of agents that could be involved in a terrorist
attack in Collier County is provided in Appendix One to this annex.

Annex B page- 11
VI. 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
Advisory color change, without any specific threat information for Collier County.
b. Public safety agencies of Collier County and its municipalities will be the '1irst
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 (OEM) 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.
I. 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,
:r -b'h \lL:F3
Annex B Page- 12
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. The Collier County Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments are or will be
subscribers to the Secure Florida Alert System (when available) and are on the FBI
Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Network.
p. Collier County and its municipal jurisdictions have taken proper precautions such as
implementing 'iirewalls" and password access to their computer systems and have
implemented the same reporting mechanism that was used during Y2K for cyber
incidents.
q. County and municipal jurisdictions have the capability to implement response and
recovery operations for computer networks and databases disrupted by a
cyberterrorist incident.
r. The 44'h WMD Civil Support Team (FNG) is 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.
s. Once notified of a suspected terrorist incident, the State Warning Point will make
notifications specifically to the Florida Division of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
t. 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.
u. 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 Department and the EOC.
These assumptions form the framework within which the operational concepts of the
Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex have been established.

VII. 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.

VIII. 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
cyberterrorist agents;
4. Identify the type of agenVdevices 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.

X. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. Overview
The Collier County Terrorism Incident Response Annex incorporates the following
fundamental operational concepts:
o 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
o 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
o 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)
o When necessary, the Collier County Emergency Operations Center will be activated
as the Multi-Agency Coordination Center 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.
o 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 cyberterrorist incident may
occur through the following types of mechanisms:
o Law enforcement intelligence efforts,
o Warnings or announcements by the perpetrators,
o The characteristics of the event, such as an explosion or chemical recognition,
o Witness accounts,
o The medical or physical symptoms of victims,
o Laboratory results from samples taken at the scene or from victims bodies,
o Monitoring of a community's morbidity and mortality on a routine basis, and
o Syndromatic Surveillance.
o Unexplained disruption or failure of a computer network, telecommunications system
or I nternet service
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.
T-bYt 1lt;F3
Annex B page- 17
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
County Warning Point, and follow-up notification would be made by the County Warning
Point to the State Warning Point.
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 Homeland Security Advisory color changes from Yellow to Orange, the
State Warning Point will notify the County Warning Point and the Emergency
Operations Center. The EOC will disseminate this change and recommended
protective actions to "subscribers" lists and "blastfax" to Public Safety and the
Media.
~ The Homeland Security Advisory System color changes from Orange to Red,
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 disseminate this change and
recommended protective actions to the "subscribers" lists and "blastfax" to all
lists. 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 Information Center (CIC).
~ 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 Warning Point, 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 Warning Point (SWP) 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
SWP.
(3) Classification (based on the National 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.
~I~
Annex B page- 18
As for in this annex, each threat level provides for an escalating range of actions that will
be implemented concurrently for crisis and consequence management. Specific actions
will take place, which are synchronized to each threat level, ensuring that all agencies
are operating jointly with consistent executed plans. Federal and State government will
notify and coordinate with local governments, as necessary. These threat levels are
described below:
HOMELAND SECURITY ADVISORY SYSTEM
(HSAS)
<Low> Green - Low risk of terrorist attacks
< Guarded> Blue - General risk of terrorist attacks
< Elevated> Yellow - Significant risk of terrorist
attacks
Received threats do not warrant actions beyond
normal liaison notifications or placing assets or
resources on a heightened alert (agencies are
operating under normal day-to-day conditions).
<High> Orange - High risk of terrorist attacks
Intelligence or an articulated threat indicates a
potential for a terrorist incident. However, this
threat has not yet been assessed as credible.
<Severe> Red - Severe risk of terrorist attacks
A threat assessment indicates that the potential threat is credible, and confirms the
involvement of a weapon of mass destruction in the developing terrorist incident.
Intelligence will vary with each threat, and will impact the level of the response. At this
threat level, the situation requires the tailoring of response actions to use resources
needed to anticipate, prevent, and/or resolve the crisis. The crisis management
response will focus on law enforcement actions taken in the interest of public safety and
welfare and is predominantly concerned with preventing and resolving the threat. The
consequence management response will focus on contingency planning and pre-
positioning of tailored resources, as required. The threat increases in significance when
the presence of an explosive device or weapon of mass destruction capable of causing a
significant destructive event, prior to actual injury or loss, is confirmed or when
intelligence and circumstances indicate a high probability that a device exists. In this
case, the threat has developed into a weapon of mass destruction terrorist situation
requiring an immediate process to identify, acquire, and plan the use of State and
federal resources to augment state and local authorities in lessening or averting the
potential consequence of a terrorist use or employment of a weapon of mass
destruction.
The Department of Homeland Security, when warranted by conditions, may change the
classification at any time. The State Warning Point will then notify or confirm notification
of the change through the County Warning Point to local incident commander, the
unified command, FDLE and the FBI.
'Lhtn lkF3
Annex B Page- 19
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 Warning Point 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 covered by this annex involve the activation of the RDSTF
because the event is known or suspected to be a terrorist event. The RDSTF 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, 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:
-:I-fLm j~
Annex B Page- 20
. 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:
RESPONSE AND COMMAND
Their mission of the local first responders is:
1) Assess the scene
2) Mitigate hazards
3) Triage, treat, and transport patients
4) Set-up a decontamination corridor
5) Begin decontamination (if appropriate)
6) Initiate use of the Incident Management System
To accomplish these objectives, the County's fire/rescue agencies, EMS and law
enforcement units will be dispatched to the scene.
A unified command structure will be established as soon as possible to meet the
dynamics of the terrorist event.
Law Enforcement
Fire

Arlmini~tr::ltivA/FinRnr.
:r:~ I~
Annex B Page- 21
The initial fire/rescue dispatch will include a hazardous materials response team
("HazMat Team"), a rescue truck, an engine company, an aerial company, and a
supervisor. The joint response is to ensure that self-sufficient entry, extrication,
decontamination, and rescue capability is available immediately on the scene. The first
arriving HazMat officer will be the officer in charge until relieved as per standard incident
command procedures. The mission of the HazMat Teams will be to:
1) Establish command
2) Identify the perimeter
3) Isolate and deny entry
4) Attempt to identify the product involved
5) Initiate action plan
6) Threat assessment
7) Resource assessment
8) Emergency decontamination
9) Escalate the fire/rescue response, if appropriate
The initial EMS dispatch may consist of a special operations response; an ALS Special
Operations Response Team (SORT) transport unit, an ALS medical surveillance/rehab
unit, an ALS transport unit and the Special Operations Deputy Chief or designee. This
response is to ensure that self-sufficient entry, BLS/ALS treatment and transport,
medical surveillance, rehabilitation assistance, decontamination and rescue capability is
available on scene. The Special Operations Deputy Chief will be the officer in charge of
medical treatment and medical surveillance of the event as per standard unified incident
command procedures. The mission of the EMS special operations response will be to:
1. Participate in the unified command
2. Identify product medical treatment considerations
3. Identify medical surveillance considerations
4. Initiate action plan
5. Threat assessment
6. Risk assessment
7. Resource assessment
8. Cut-Out Rescue - Non-Ambulatory Treatment (CORNAT)
9. Medical/technical decontamination
10. Hazardous environment triage or medical treatment
11. Escalate the EMS response, if appropriate
The responsibilities of the initial law enforcement dispatch are to:
1) Enforce the perimeters and isolate the area
2) Provide security
3) Identify and contain the criminal threat
4) Escalate the law enforcement response, if appropriate
STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT
:I'-ltrn !loF3
Annex B Page- 22
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 Department and Collier County Health
Department will:
1) Coordinate issues in assessment of the medical and health issues involved in
the incident.
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 Fire/Rescue, EMS, DoH, Emergency Management,
Pia 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
-:I:1cnI lleP'3
Annex B page- 23
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 CIC, as needed.
(3) Mutual Aid
For major terrorist events, Collier County 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 Warning Point, 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
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. Implementation
of standard procedures for scene management for a terrorist incident will include the
following additional considerations:
. The potential presence of secondary devices,
. The treatment of the scene as a crime scene,
. The potential for contamination that is not visible or is difficult to detect, as well as
the need for management of contaminated victims,
. The spatial extent of chemical, biological or radiological contamination from a
weapon of mass destruction, and controlling continued, inadvertent spread of the
agent.
. The need for larger and better equipped command and staging facilities,
. Immediate capability for media management and public information, and
. Recognition of the potential for rapid public protection in adjacent and/or downwind
areas.
(5) Public Protection
:T-brl IloF3
Annex B Page- 24
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:
. Level 3 activation when the event is classified as a "Low, Guarded or Elevated"
Threat
. Level 2 or Level 1 activation when the event is classified as a "High or Severe
Threat," depending on the potential consequences of the event, and
. Levell 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
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
'T-h:m J~
Annex B Page- 25
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.
Casualtv Collection Point:
In the event that the number and conditions of victims warrant, the 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 Familv 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.
Emeraencv 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
'I~ IleF~
Annex B Page- 26
municipal Pia 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 Pia will work with the unified command's Pia function to ensure an
adequate flow of timely information from the command post to the Emergency
News Center. The Pia 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 Pia 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 Pia 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 (JIG). The County's Pia 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 Pia representatives are included in the
staffing and operations of the JIC.
Other actions taken by the Collier County Pia from an Emergency News Center
and/or the JIC will be in accord with the Collier County CEMP.
(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,
"Xtth 1lcF3
Annex B Page- 27
. 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.
To facilitate management of contaminated or injured victims, Appendix Two to this annex
provides guidance on the various steps that may be necessary for victims of a WMD
event. The following topics are addressed in Appendix Two:
. Removal of casualties/fatalities
. Decontamination of casualties
. Triage of casualties
. Treatment of casualties
. Isolation and quarantining of the injured and exposed
. Transport of victims
. Stocks of available antidotes
(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. The FBI response may include such field office resources as the WMD
Coordinator, SWAT, HAZMAT-trained personnel (like the Hazardous Materials
Response Unit or HMRU), Bomb Technicians, and the Evidence Response Team (ERT).
Additional FBI resources may be called from outside the local area, as needed.
(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
potential, and, to the extent feasible, such remains will be decontaminated, treated or
~ IlPF3
Annex B Page- 28
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
Collier County Health Department 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.

XI. 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 '1irst
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.
The roles and responsibilities of Collier County's emergency support functions and
specific agencies and organizations also are described in this section.

XII. TRAINING AND EXERCISES
This section describes Collier County's training and exercise program related to
response to a terrorist incident involving utilization of a weapon of mass destruction and
the implementation of this annex.
A. Background
The response to a terrorist event will require both routine and specialized emergency
operations by responding county personnel, potentially in an area contaminated with
lethal materials. Therefore, it is vitally important to assure that response personnel are
adequately trained to fulfill their responsibilities without endangering their safety. This
includes training emergency services and health care personnel in the field to recognize
a possible terrorist event, as well as training those who would respond to that event.
B. Training Program Development and Implementation
This section describes the concepts and activities to be considered in development and
implementation of the training program, and assigns responsibility for the necessary
support activities.
(1) Development and Implementation Concepts
The county's training program for management of terrorist incidents is to accomplish the
following objectives:
o Provide terrorism awareness and response training to county personnel,
o Offer opportunities for awareness and response training of appropriate non-
governmental personnel in the Collier County area,
o Incorporate the operational concepts utilized in this annex,
o Coordinate and/or incorporate terrorism awareness and response instructional
material into other emergency preparedness training programs currently conducted
by the county, and
o Meet any requirements or recommended training standards or performance criteria
promulgated by the State of Florida.
(2) Training Program Direction and Management
Collier County's training program for terrorism awareness will be supported by the
county's Director of Emergency Management. Collier County Emergency Management
will support, review and/or develop the training curriculum, secure training materials,
support and coordinate other county agencies' training programs, and maintain
documentation on the training provided.
C. Training Exercises
(1) Objectives for the County's Exercise Program
A terrorism incident response exercise will be designed to test and practice the following:
~
T-km I&F3
Annex B Page- 45
. Key roles of county agencies in terrorism crisis and consequence management,
. Detection and notification regarding a terrorist event,
. Development and implementation of a unified command for a terrorist incident
response,
. Effective incorporation of State, Federal and mutual aid personnel and resources into
the county's unified command,
· The operational and communication interfaces among municipalities, the county,
State, and Federal operational centers, and
. Practice selected standard operations to be used in a response to a weapon of mass
destruction event, such as search and rescue, mass casualty management,
decontamination, media management, etc.
(2) Schedule for County Exercises
The schedule for the county's terrorism response exercises will be as follows:
. The county will participate in a terrorist incident response exercise at least annually,
. The exercise type may be a table top or functional, and
. Exercises may be both local in scope, or part of larger regional and statewide
exercises.
A response by the County to an actual, significant terrorist incident may be substituted
for the annual exercise.
(3) Exercise Documentation
The county's Office of Emergency Management will prepare a formal, written critique
within 60 days after each exercise. The critique will be made available to all participating
agencies and organizations, as well as to the Florida Division of Emergency
Management.
A formal, written critique of an actual response to a major terrorism incident will also be
prepared and distributed to the same participants.

I. Purpose
This Appendix to the Collier County CEMP Annex is to provide background information regarding
the CBRNE agents that could be involved in a terrorist incident in Collier County.
A. BallisticslExplosives
Ballistic injuries resulting from terrorist attacks are still the most common and have the
highest "lethality index". A determined individual or group of individuals armed with
assault type weapons can produce a high rate of casualties in a short period of time.
Table 1 - Lethality Index for Ballistic Injuries!
Bullets
Low Velocity 35 430 0.08
High Velocity 152 261 0.37
Fragmentation Munitions 5 33 0.13
Homemade Bombs 10 164 0.06
High explosive Devices 79 281 0.22
Hand Thrown missiles 0 304 0
*Lethality Index is the number of fatalities divided by the number of injuries and fatalities
combined {L/=fatalities ~ (injuries + fatalities)].
Information derived from Journal of the Ro al Arm Medical Cor s
Bombs are the most common weapons of terrorists. Bombs are easy to make from
ordinary household materials and can be very effective. A fertilizer bomb blasted the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. When a bomb of this type
explodes, it sends a shockwave in all directions and smashes into buildings blocks away.
As this shock wave travels, a powerful vacuum forms behind it, sucking in the entire
atmosphere that has been displaced by the original shockwave. The surrounding area is
smashed a second time by the aftershock. All this takes less than a second. Materials in
the way of these shockwaves become high velocity projectiles. Walls move away from the
blast and then back toward the blast before finally crumbling. Floors and roofs defy
gravity for a split second before collapsing to the ground. This can all be accomplished by
the use of common household substances.
Most fertilizer bombs, like the Oklahoma City bomb, generate blast waves that can exceed
6800 miles per hour. High-order military explosives, such as C4 and Semtex, can create
blast waves almost three times as fast.

B. NUCLEARlRADIATION
Radiation is defined as high-energy particles or gamma rays that are emitted by an atom as
the substance undergoes radioactive decay, which is the process in which a radioactive
nucleus emits radiation and changes to a different isotope or element. The types of
radiation are in the following forms of energetic particles:
. Alpha particles
. Beta particles
. Photons (gamma rays and X-rays)
. Neutrons
Particles lose their energy by depositing it in the material they move through, whether that
material is air, water, people, or lead. Radiation, regardless of intensity, has the potential
to produce harmful effects on human beings, animals, and plant life. Background (natural)
radiation poses little threat to our systems. However, serious health consequences can be
expected if a person is subjected to large amounts of radiation. The types of radiation and
their effects are as follows:
I. ALPHA (particulate) radiation particles cannot penetrate the outer layer of skin.
They can be stopped by thin layers of light materials (such as a sheet of paper) and
pose no direct or external radiation threat. However, they pose a serious health
threat if inhaled or ingested. Therefore, a respirator or the use of Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is recommended. The range in air for alpha particles
is 1 to 3 centimeters.
2. BETA (particulate) radiation particles can penetrate skin, but not vital organs
(lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart, etc.) and represent a hazard both internally and
externally. Beta radiation can be lethal depending upon the dose and length of
time of exposure. It is easily shielded by aluminum. The range in air for beta
particles is approximately 10 feet. Initial symptoms are itching and burning of the
skin, with later symptoms that include reddening of the skin and more severe
changes in pigmentation, hair loss, and sores.
3. GAMMA (energy) and NEUTRON radiation particles can penetrate through the
body and represent a hazard both internally and externally. These rays have high
energy and a short wavelength. Shielding against gamma radiation requires thick
layers of dense materials, such as lead. Gamma and neutron radiation typically
ha ve a range in air of several hundred feet.

The main concern with radiation is that it is an invisible hazard. Unless the responding
public safety agency has radiological detection equipment, or the nuclear material at issue
is clearly marked and identified, there is a strong chance that the initial identification of a
radiological or nuclear hazard will go unnoticed. Although, there is no one piece of
equipment available on the market to meet all detection requirements, there are separate
detectors for each type of radiation. An additional concern would be the availability of
protective clothing and breathing gear, in sufficient quantities, to protect first responders.
If first responders are subjected to large amounts of radiation due to major radiation
accidents or nuclear attack, they can expect serious consequences to their health. It should
be noted that individuals suffering from radiation injuries are NOT radioactive!
Of importance is the dose or amount of radiation absorbed over a period of time. There are
many terms used to measure the dose of radiation. One is the Roentgen Equivalent Man
(rem), which is a unit of absorbed dose that takes into account the relative effectiveness of
the radiation involved in causing health effects. Another measurement of the absorbed
dose of radiation is known as rad. Sometimes rad measurements are referred to as Gray,
which is the equivalent of 100 rad. In this document, health effects are expressed in rad.

Appendix 1 to Annex B

:I:"itTn \tcF;
I. 50 to 200 rad - Approximately 6 hours after exposure, the individual may have
symptoms ranging from none to transient mild headaches. There may be a slight
decrease in the ability to conduct normal activities. Less than 5 percent of
individuals in the upper part of the exposure range will require hospitalization.
Average hospital stay will be 45 to 60 days, with no deaths.
2. 200 to 500 rad - Approximately 4 to 6 hours after exposure, individuals will
experience headaches, malaise, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms are not relieved
by antiemetics in the upper exposure range. Individuals can perform routine tasks,
but any activity-requiring moderate to heavy exertion will be hampered for 6 to
20 hours. After this period, individuals will appear to recover and enter a latent
period of 17 to 21 days. If individuals have received 300 rads or more, they will
have large quantities of hair loss between 12 to 18 days after exposure. Following
the latent stage, symptoms will retum, requiring 90 percent of the personnel to be
hospitalized for 60 to 90 days. Probably less than 5 percent of those at the lower
dose range will die, the percentage increasing toward the upper end of the dose
range.
3. 500 to 1,000 rads - Approximately 1 to 4 hours after exposure, severe and pro-
longed nausea and vomiting will develop that are difficult to control. Diarrhea and
fever develop early in individuals in the upper part of the exposure range.
Significant incapacitation is seen in the upper ranges. Initial symptoms last for
more than 24 hours, then go into a latent period lasting 7 to 10 days. Following the
latent stage, the symptoms return requiring 100 percent of the individuals to be
hospitalized. Of those in the lower range, 50 percent will die, the percentage
increasing toward the upper range. All deaths occur within 45 days. The survivors
require 90 to 120 days of hospitalization before recovery.
4. 1,000 rad or more - Less than 1 hour after exposure, individuals develop severe
vomiting, diarrhea, and prostration. There is no latent period. All individuals
require hospitalization and die within 30 days.
C. BIOLOGICAL AGENTS
Govemments have used biological warfare as long as civilization has depended on
agriculture. Today, various governments continue to research the development of
poisonous toxins that are far more deadly than chemical warfare agents. Two of the
earliest reported uses of toxins occurred in the sixth century BC: the Assyrian poisoning of
enemy wells with rye ergot, and Solon's use of the purgative herb hellebore during the
siege of Krissa.
The use of biological agents is the oldest weapon of the NBC triad. Biological agents are
more deadly than chemical agents and occur in nature and are being artificially developed
in the laboratory. Large numbers of naturally occurring poisons have also been examined
to determine their value as warfare agents. These include Capsaicin (an extract of cayenne
pepper and paprika), Ricin (a toxic substance found in the castor bean), and Saxitoxin (a
toxic substance secreted by certain shellfish).

Biological agents generally fall into one of three types:
1. PATHOGENS - Living, reproducing, disease-producing organisms.
a. Bacteria. Capable of reproducing outside living cells. Examples:
anthrax, tularemia, bubonic plague, cholera, and typhoid fever.
b, Viruses. Infective agents composed of DNA or RNA that can only
reproduce inside living cells. Examples: Venezuelan equine encephalitis
(VEE), yellow fever, smallpox, hemorrhagic fever (Marburg and Ebola),
and human immunodeficiency virus (H/V).
c. Rickettsia. Parasitic microorganisms whose diseases are transmitted by
the bite of ticks, lice, and fleas. These parasites require a living host as

opposed to bacteria. Examples: Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Qfever,
and flea-borne typhus.
d. Yeast and Fun!!i (Mvcotoxins). Mycotoxins were allegedly used in
aerosol form ("yellow rain") to produce lethal and non-lethal casualties in
Laos (1975-1982), Kampuchea (1979-1981), and Afghanistan (1979-
1981). Since the alleged victims were usually unprotected civilians or
guerilla forces in remote jungle areas, it was extremely difficult to confirm
the attacks or recover samples. However, over 10,000 deaths have been
attributed to the use of these agents in these three campaigns.'
e. Geneticallv Engineered Pathogens. Through advanced biochemical tech-
niques, pathogens are subject to enhancement to increase their utility.
Examples: antibiotic-resistant bacteria, bacteria genetically altered to
have advanced aerosol and environmental durability, immunologically
altered viruses resistant to standard vaccines and not identifiable to
classical serological means.
2. TOXINS - Non-living, poisonous chemical compounds produced through the
metabolic activities of living organisms. Toxins are 1,000 times more lethal or
effective than standard chemical agents. Examples: snake venom, scorpion
venom, Ricin, Saxitoxin (produced by marine algae), and puffer fish venom.
3. ENDOGENOUS BIOLOGICAL REGULATORS (EBRs) - Chemical
substances produced in the body to regulate various body functions such as muscle
contractions, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and immune responses.
Examples: hormones, adrenalin, and delta sleep-inducing peptide.
The most practical method of initiating infection using biological agents is through
the dispersal of agents as minute, airborne particles (aerosols). Finely divided
particles of liquid or solid suspended in a gas are sprayed over a target where the
particles may be inhaled. An aerosol may be effective for some time after
delivery, since it will be deposited on clothing, equipment, and soil. When the
decontaminated clothing is used later, or dust is stirred up, responding personnel
may be subject to a secondary dispersal.
Biological agents may be able to use portals of entry into the body other than the
respiratory tract. Individuals may be infected by ingestion of contaminated food
and water or even by direct contact with the skin or mucous membranes through
abraded or broken skin. This makes the use of protective clothing a must, along
with protection of the respiratory tract through the use of a mask with biological
filters or SCBA.
Exposure to biological agents, unlike chemical agents, may not be immediately
apparent. Casualties may occur minutes or hours to days or weeks after an

incident has occurred. The time required before symptoms are observed is
dependent on the agent used. There are currently no effective monitoring devices
available for first responders for use in determining whether they are involved in
an incident involving biological agents, though work continues on developing such
devices. Often the first clue will come from blood tests, or by other means used by
medical personnel, or by observing possible symptoms of people exposed in the
area. HazMat Teams and local FBI special response teams have field test kits and
procedures to detect the presence of some biological agents such as anthrax.
Some clues may be present that could be indicators that an NBC incident involving
biological agents has taken place:
a. Unusual numbers of sick or dying people and animals are present. For
example, all the birds that are usually present at outside trash bins are
dead; no insect sounds, etc.
b. Reported illness reflects an unusual or impossible agent for the geographic
area or there is an unusual distribution of the disease (that is, the casualties
are aligned with the wind direction outdoors).
Biological attacks will be different from natural outbreaks of disease. For
example, a steady stream of patients presents to medical facilities instead
of the usual peaks and valleys. Or the illness may occur in an unusual
environment or time of year (such as cases of anthrax showing up where
none have occurred before).
Early warning and rapid identification of biological agents is of primary
importance. This warning can sometimes be supplied by intelligence
sources, but early warning is not usually available.
Some of the more common or anticipated biological weapons are as
follows:
Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium bacillus anthracis. It occurs
most frequently in cattle, goats, and sheep that acquire spores from direct contact with contaminated soil.
Humans usually become infected through contact with, ingestion of, or inhalation of anthrax spores from
infected animals or their products (like goat hair). Human-to-human transmission has not been documented.
Following are sample guidelines for responding to a WMD threat involving anthrax. 6

Smallpox. The last reported case in the world was in 1977, and the last case in the U.S. was in 1949. This
devastating disease, for which there is no therapy, has a 30% mortality rate and commonly leaves survivors
blind or seriously scarred. Smallpox is spread by aerosol or droplets and has an incubation period of 14
days. Initial symptoms resemble the flu but are followed by a rash which, unlike chicken pox, evolves with
lesions in identical stages of evolution. The disease is infectious only during the rash phase. The major
mechanisms of disease control are isolation (quarantine) and vaccination. Vaccination up to 4.5 days
after exposure may prevent mortality.
Vaccination is confounded by two problems: first, the national stockpile is not currently sufficient for more
than several million people. The second problem is adverse reaction to the vaccination (occurs with a
frequency of 3 per million--40% of these cases are fatal and the rest usually have residual neurologic
problems).
This disease has historically been the most feared in medicine and now represents a highly attractive form
of biological weapon. Smallpox is attractive as an agent of bioterrorism in part because abandonment of
vaccine programs has resulted in near universal vulnerability to smallpox.'
D. CHEMICAL AGENTS
Chemical agents are defined as any chemical substance intended to kill, seriously injure, or
incapacitate humans due of its physiological effects. They are compounds that, through their
chemical properties, produce lethal or damaging effects on man.
Persistency is an expression of the duration of effectiveness of a chemical agent. The level of
persistency is used to describe the tactical use of chemical agents and should not be used as terms
to technically classify the agent:
· Nonpersistent Agents - Remain in the target for a relatively short period of time. The
hazard, predominately vapor, will exist for minutes or, in exceptional cases, hours after
dissemination of the agent. As a general rule of thumb, nonpersistent agent duration will
be less than 12 hours.
. Persistent Agents - Remain in the target area for longer periods of time. Hazards from
both vapors and liquids may exist for hours, days, or even weeks after dissemination of the
agent. As a general rule of thumb, persistent agent duration will be greater than 12 hours.
There are many factors that will affect the persistency of chemical agents:
, DA Henderson, Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian Biodefense Sludies. reviewed
Appendix 1 to Annex B
13
::r-b"n 1(oP~
I. Type of Agent - Different agents have various consistencies or viscosity with similarities ranging
from rubbing alcohol to motor oil and will evaporate or dissipate at approximately the same rate.
2. Amount of Agent - Different amounts and dispersal methods used (aerosol, splash) also determine
the persistency of an agent.
3. Terrain - The terrain will also affect the duration of an agent (open area, vegetative, urban, soil
composition).
4. Weather - Wind, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and precipitation all impact on the
duration of an agent.
Types of Chemical Agents
The menu of chemical agents is enormous as there are agents typically used by the military, agents
found in industry, agents concocted in clandestine labs, and combination agents (more than one
chemical agent combined for dual effects).
It would be impossible to put together a complete list of all possible chemical agents and their
possible combinations, but it is feasible to list a group of chemical agents that have a higher degree
of likelihood for being used in the field by terrorists agents. This list is presented in symptom logic
order:
a. Nerve Agents
b. Blister Agents
c. Choking Agents
d. Blood Agents
e. Incapacitating Agents
f. Vomiting Agents
g. CompoundlMixed Agents
h. Irritant or Tear Gas

NERVE AGENTS
Nerve agents acquired their name because they affect the transmission of nerve impulses in the nervous
system. All nerve agents belong chemically to the group of organo-phosphorus compounds. They are
stable, easily dispersed, highly toxic, and have rapid effects both when absorbed through the skin and via
respiration.
All these nerve agents produce the same basic physiological effect: they act upon enzymes at the
myoneural (muscle-nerve) junction, causing immediate convulsions, paralysis, and death. They are capable
of entering the body either through the lungs or the skin and are deadly in very small quantities.
Nerve agents may be absorbed through the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and the eyes.
However, significant absorption through the skin takes a period of minutes, and prompt medical treatment
and decontamination are imperative and sometimes quite successful.

Physical and Chemical Properties
The most commonly mentioned nerve agents are listed below':
The "G" series of nerve agents include Tabun (GA), Sarin (GB), and Soman (GO). These military nerve
agents are generally volatile and will evaporate at approximately the same rate as water. As a liquid, these
substances are heavier than water and will sink. As a vapor, they are heavier than air and will tend to sink
to the lowest level (like basements and subways).
VX is a persistent military nerve agent that does not evaporate readily and is significantly heavier than air.
Its primary contact hazard is as a liquid.
Parathion and Malathion are commercial pesticides. They are quickly metabolized in the body and cause
effects similar to those of nerve agents. However, they are significantly less toxic.
Sevin (carbaryl) is a commonly used insecticide that is absorbed by ingestion and through the skin and
eyes. Carbamates cause similar effects as nerve agents. However, unlike the organophosphate compounds,
the toxic effect is not permanent. After several hours, the carbamate will spontaneously leave the system.
This should be considered in victim care and medical treatment.
Mechanism of Action
A characteristic of nerve agents is that they are extremely toxic and that they have very rapid effect. The
nerve agent, either as a gas, aerosol, or liquid enters the body through inhalation or through the skin.
Poisoning may also occur through consumption of liquids or foods contaminated with nerve agents.
The route for entering the body is of importance for the period required for the nerve agent to start having
effect. It also influences the symptoms developed and, to some extent, the sequence of the different
symptoms. Generally, the poisoning works faster when the agent is absorbed through the respiratory system
than via other routes.
Poisoning takes longer when the nerve agent enters the body through the skin. Since the first symptoms do
not occur until 20-30 minutes after the initial exposure, immediate decontamination is essential. The
poisoning process may be rapid, however, if the total dose of nerve agent is high.
Symptoms
The most identifiable characteristic of nerve agent exposure is the extreme constriction of the iris (miosis)
causing pinpoint pupils. Other characteristic symptoms include increased production of saliva, a running
nose, and a feeling of pressure on the chest. Short -range vision also deteriorates and the victim feels pain
when they try to focus on an object nearby. This is usually accompanied by headache. More unspecific
symptoms are tiredness, slurred speech, hallucinations, and nausea.

Exposure to a higher dose leads to more pronounced symptoms. Tightening of the chest and dramatic
mucous membrane secretions (eyes, nose, and mouth) lead to coughing and difficulty in breathing.
Discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract may develop into cramps and vomiting. Involuntary discharge of
urine and defecation may also occur. Symptoms, like twitching, from the skeletal muscles are very typical.
If the poisoning is moderate, this may express itself as muscular weakness, local tremors, or convulsions.
When exposed to a high dose of nerve agent, the muscular symptoms are more pronounced. The victim
may suffer convulsions and lose consciousness. To some extent, the poisoning process may be so rapid that
earlier mentioned symptoms may never have time to develop.
Muscular paralysis caused by nerve agents also affects the respiratory muscles, which is the direct cause of
death. Consequently, death caused by nerve agents is a kind of death by suffocation.

BLISTER / MUSTARD AGENTS
These are chemical agents that affect the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin. Blister agents initially cause
irritation of the eyes (and respiratory tract, if inhaled), erythema (reddening of the skin), then blistering or
ulcerations, followed by systemic poisoning. There are three types of blister agents: mustards, arsenicals,
and urticiants.
Mustard is usually classified as a blistering agent owing to the wounds caused by this substance resembling
bums and blisters. However, blister agents also cause severe damage to the eyes, respiratory system, and
internal organs. The effect of mustard agent is delayed and the first symptoms do not occur until 2-24
hours after exposure. Lewisite and phosgene oxime, however, produce immediate pain on whatever part of
the body comes in contact with the liquid or vapor, such as the eyes or skin.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Mustard "gas" is actually a liquid that is much heavier than water and its vapor is heavier than air. It has an
odor of mustard, onions, or garlic that is usually detected when concentrations are close to toxic levels.
Mustard can be absorbed into the body through the eyes, the skin, and the airways within seconds of
contact.12
Symptoms
There are no immediate physical signs of mustard exposure. The first sign of exposure to mustard is
usually redness of the skin. Over a period of hours small blisters appear and gradually combine to form
larger blisters. Irritation and redness are usually the first effects in the eyes. Victims may complain of not
being able to see; this is usually due to swelling and inflaming eyelids.
Signs of damage to the upper airways may include sinus pain, irritation of the nose, a sore throat, or a
hacking cough. If more than a minimal amount is inhaled symptoms may include voice changes, with
hoarseness or loss of voice. If large amounts are inhaled it can lead to damage of the lower airways
producing shortness of breath and a severe productive cough. The shorter the onset time of these lower
airway effects, the more threatening the diagnosis. Survival is unlikely if these symptoms appear earlier
than 4 hours after exposure.
Absorption of a large amount will also damage the bone marrow. However, these effects are not evident
for approximately 3-5 days.
Antidotes & TreaIrnents
There is no treatment or antidote that can affect the basic cause of mustard agent injury. Therefore, the
most important measure is to rapidly and thoroughly decontaminate the patient with soap and water. Eyes
are rinsed with water or a physiological salt solution for at least five minutes. A casualty should remain
under observation since no signs or symptoms occur within the first few hours.

Jane's Information Group, 1998. Page 63-74.
Appendix 1 to Annex B
19
:r -trn I <o~
Medical treatment may include antibiotics and local anesthetics to relieve pam. Despite treatment,
inflammation and light sensitivity in the eyes may remain for long periods.
CY ANIDESIBLOOD AGENTS
Cyanide produces clinical effects by causing cell death. It does so by entering each contaminated cell of
the body and poisoning the mechanism that uses oxygen. Oxygen enters the body though the lungs and is
carried by the blood to the cells. Cyanide prevents the cells from using the oxygen and they suffocate.
The body can destroy small amounts of cyanide and leave no effects on the body. Large amounts will
effect the brain or central nervous system. The brain and central nervous system are dependent on oxygen
and most effects of cyanide poisoning are those caused by a lack of oxygen in the brain. Exposure to a
large amount will cause a sudden loss of consciousness, followed by convulsions. After 3-5 minutes
breathing will stop. Death will usually occur within 10 minutes.
INCAPACITATING / IRRITATING AGENTS
Riot control agents such as CS, CN, CR, and pepper spray are commonly used in the civilian world. These
agents are solids that are usually dispersed in a liquid spray. There are minor differences between riot
control agents, however, the effects are similar: they cause pain or buming on exposed mucous membranes
and skin.
Tearing, reddening, and closing of the eyes usually accompany burning in the eyes. If these substances are
inhaled, there will be a difficulty in breathing and tightening in the chest. Skin may also become irritated
and burn. The effects of these agents begin within seconds of contact and decrease as the casualty moves
to clean air. It is rare for these agents to produce serious harm to a casualty, unless disseminated in a
forceful manner.
COMPOUNDIMIXED AGENTS
The possible mixing of chemical agents presents an additional concern to first responders in that it will be
difficult to identify (by symptoms alone) which type of chemical agent is being used.

Procedure for Management of Victims of a Terrorist Incident
Involving Biological, Chemical or Radiological Materials
June 24, 2008

Appendix 2 to Annex B page- 2
Purpose
This document is an Appendix to the Terrorism Incident Response Annex of the Collier County
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. It provides guidance for county and municipal
emergency response officials on the management of victims potentially contaminated or infected
by biological, chemical or radiological agents released during a terrorist incident.
Removal of CasualtieslFatalities
Designated and properly protected response personnel will extricate victims who are unable to
move themselves outside of the hot or warm zones. The extrication of victims will be done in
accordance to either standard or specialized triage practices. Obvious fatalities will be left in
place pending the activation and arrival of the Medical Examiner's Team and/or Disaster
Mortuary Operational Response Team (D-MORT).
Decontamination of Casualties
The standard Hazardous Material Decontamination Procedure will be followed. If it is
determined that an alternate decontamination method is needed due to a particular contaminant,
the on-scene Medical Officer in Charge, Poison Control, ChemTrec, local Hazardous Material
Team, Department of Health and/or the military will be consulted.
Decontamination (decon) is to proceed as soon as possible, based on three considerations:
1. Whether a person or an article is contaminated;
2. The type and physical property of the contaminant (gas, liquid, or solid); and
3. The medical condition of the victim (triage).
In all cases, as much contamination as possible should be left in the Hot Zone.
Priority must be given to the decontamination of persons. Generation of diluted contaminant (due
to flushing or any other action) requires the capture and confinement of that material, whenever
possible.
In decontamination, time is of the essence, the longer that a person remains in contact with a
hazardous material, the greater the absorption of the contaminant by that person. Quick
decontamination of victim(s) is the goal of first responders. The most effective decontamination
time is within 1 to 2 minutes after exposure. The simple removal of the victims' clothing can
effectively remove much of the contaminants.
All decontamination actions conducted by first responders will be carried out using the
appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) as determined by the senior Hazardous
Materials Officer on-scene or by the appropriate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). In the
event of gas or vapor contaminaJion, the simple removal of the outer layer of clothing on the
victim may be sufficient decontamination. If further, or more thorough, decontamination is
necessary, it will be performed in the following three stages:
1. Gross decontamination, involves the safe removal of the victim from the
contaminated environment, complete removal of the victims' clothes, and a
~ \lgF3
Appendix 2 to Annex B Page- 3
complete head to toe rinse with the appropriate solution (usually plain water or a
combination of water and soap.)
2. Secondary decontamination involves more thorough washing of the victim in a
head to toe fashion possibly using a decontamination solution, which is then
followed by a complete rinsing.
3. Definitive decontamination is carried out by a series of washes and rinses until
such time that it is certain that all contaminants have been removed from the
victim. Definitive decontamination will usually take place at a medical facility.
First responding units arriving at a suspected terrorist attack will position their apparatus and
equipment in an up-wind position and prepare to set up a drench decontamination corridor using
on-board appliances and water supply, if necessary. If and when possible, first-in engine or aerial
companies should connect to an appropriate hydrant and conduct a forward lay to provide a
supply line to guarantee an uninterrupted water supply to adequately perform gross
decontamination operations and anticipate the initial elements of a decontamination corridor. In
the absence of a hydrant, a secondary source of water must be located, drafting operations should
be considered, and the appropriate tanker apparatus should be deployed.
Triage of Casualties
Triage will be coordinated by the Medical Officer and may be highly specialized to the extent of
the type of agent involved and its level/method of exposure in comparison to the victim's injuries.
Otherwise, triage will be performed in accordance with the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment
(S.T.A.R.T) method. Most Florida fire/rescue/EMS departments have adopted this Mass
Casualty Incident (MCI) triage method. Every local fire department should have START kits on
their first response apparatus as part of their standard equipment inventory.
START is a tag system designed to assess a large number of victims rapidly and can be used by
all personnel regardless of their medical training. The initial triage is accomplished by the
assessment of respiratory rate, perfusion, and mental status. Triage ribbons/tags are used to
identify the priority of the patients.
. RED - First Priority - IMMEDIATE
. YELLOW - Second Priority - DELAYED
. GREEN - Third Priority - AMBULATORY
. BLACK - Deceased
Secondary triage is performed on all patients during the treatment phase in the medical sector.
During this phase patients can be up-graded or downgraded depending upon the dynamics of their
injuries.
Treatment of Casualties
The reality of an incident of large proportions has shown that victims will leave the scene and
either walk to or find a rapid transport to a medical facility--usually the facility closest to the
incident site. The danger in this is that victims may be contaminated with an agent that could
T-tmlcE3
Appendix 2 to Annex B page- 4
then contaminate other people, vehicles, and medical facilities that wiU, in turn, increase the
number of casualties and overwhelm the facility.
Emergency personnel on scene should plan to have a staging area for victims. Local medical
facilities will be contacted as soon as possible in order for them to prepare an exterior triage and
decontamination area to ensure the safety of their staff and facility.
Medical and other personnel will be apprised of conditions that may develop over time in case
patients develop complications later on. Patients who exhibit suspect symptoms will be treated
by established protocols.
Isolation and Quarantining of the Injured and Exposed
The criteria and procedures for isolating/quarantining the injured and other exposed people who
cannot be safely extracted, pending arrival of appropriate assistance, should be addressed in the
local fire/rescue department's procedure manuals.
UsuaUy the first arriving unit wiU perform the initial size-up. An approximation of the number of
victims and MCI level wiU be announced. Special needs such as isolation or quarantining
exposed victims will be determined at this point. Incident command and a staging area will be
established.
Most fire department Hazardous Materials Operating Policies require that the area be isolated and
entry denied to aU personnel until the material(s) has/have been identified. Protective clothing
and equipment necessary to operate safely in the affected area must be utilized.
Decisions regarding long-term quarantining of the community for highly contagious biological
agents will be made by Collier County Emergency Management in consultation with the County
Health Department, State Health Department, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Transport of Victims
Victims should be decontaminated at the scene prior to transportation. Transportation of
decontaminated patients to the appropriate facilities will foUow the Standard Protocols for a Mass
Casualty Incident. In-place, on-scene, temporary sheltering of victims may be deemed necessary
while receiving facility resources are stabilized. Coordination with other county, State, and
Federal resources will be conducted through the State Division of Emergency Management.
Stocks of Available Antidotes
In order to treat a large-scale contamination, three approaches should be taken:
1. The Regional Domestic Security Task Force has stockpiled antidotes available
for distribution to field responders and local hospitals. Local hospitals may also
be able to provide rescue trucks with antidotes, depending upon the antidote and
required amount.
:::BTn I~
Appendix 2 to Annex B Page- 5
2. Second, additional supplies may be available from State and/or Federal sources,
but these sources must be pre-identified and pre-planned prior to an incident.
Additional antidotes may be available from surrounding Veterans Administration
Medical Centers, Fire/Rescue Supply Bureaus, EMS supply bureaus, and local
pharmaceutical distribution warehouses.
3. Finally, through activation of National Disaster Medical Services (NDMS),
additional resources can be requested.

Terrorism Incident Response Plan
Appendix Five to Annex B
Florida Regional Domestic Security Task Force (RDSTF)
June 24, 2008
Notification of Regional Domestic Security Task Force (RDSTF)
Appendix 5 to Annex B
5-1
-:r:-tcun 1lcF3
I"
When the County is affected by a suspected terrorist situation, the incident or unified
command structure will request additional assistance from the County EOC. When the
County EOC appears at risk of exhausting all local resources or determines local
responders need additional resources, a request for additional assistance will be made
through the County EOC to the State Warning Point in State EOC.
The State EOC will notify the ESF 16 emergency coordinating officer, the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), who in turn will notify their Regional
Operations Center(s) to notify the Task Force(s) and to place them on alert.
The RDSTF's primary role in the response phase is to coordinate the use of the Domestic
Security Response Teams. Its mission is to support the local incident command structure
and not to assume command and control of the incident. However, if the County requests
such command and control support, then the Task Force may coordinate the activation of
a separate overhead Incident Command System team to handle these operations in
coordination with the State EOC, these teams will be made up of emergency service
personnel trained in the ICS positions needed to assume command and control
operations.
Request for Assistance & Response:
Once the initial call for additional resources has been made, all requests for Domestic
Security Response Team assistance will be coordinated with the Regional Domestic
Security Task Force Coordinator through the County EOC. Initial requests for resources
may be verbal as response conditions dictate, but must be followed with a written request
utilizing forms contained in the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for
requesting mutual aid resources (Reference 1). The requesting jurisdiction will complete
the forms, assuring that an explanation of the mission to which those resources will be
assigned is included. The Regional Domestic Security Task Force Coordinator will
facilitate the verbal or written request through the County EOC to the State EOC for
processing. The Regional Domestic Security Task Force Coordinator, in consultation
with the task force chair and/or co-chair and the State and County EOC, will determine
the appropriate level of response by the Domestic Security Response Teams to the
request. If determined that one or more of these teams are necessary, then the Regional
Domestic Security Task Force Coordinator will activate other task force members to
facilitate resource mobilization and deployment. The State EOC will provide the
Regional Domestic Security Task Force Coordinator with the State Mission Number(s)
through the County EOC.
The appropriate task force liaison will then notify the activated resources as soon as
practicable and provide the resource supervisor (leader) with the following information
regarding the mission:
. The State assigned mission number
. The location and directions of travel to the staging area at the scene of the
incident
Appendix 5 to Annex B
5-2
:J.A---. n IlcF"2.
. The point of contact either at the incident scene or at the affected
jurisdiction's EOC
. The cell phone number, radio frequency or telephone number where the point
of contact can be reached
. A brief size-up of the incident that is being responded to
. The primary mission objective and any special instructions
. 24-hour contact numbers for the response liaisons to allow team supervisor
the ability to submit daily situation reports and maintain any necessary
emergency communications.
The Regional Domestic Security Task Force Coordinator or liaison will also furnish an
approximate estimated time of arrival at the assigned staging area. This information will
be sent to the affected County EOC and the State EOC. The Regional Domestic Security
Task Force Coordinator will be responsible for tracking these resources within the region,
using standardized forms for ordering resources and forms compliant with the state and
federal guidelines governing mutual aid.

Executive Summary
The Collier County Response Team Guidelines for Wildfire Operations, Annex C to the
Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan identifies the actions that may
be taken by the Florida Division of Forestry and those State and local agencies in support of the
Division of Forestry 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 Division of Forestry 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 Division of Forestry, 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 I - 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 (Division of
Forestry, the Collier Fire Chief s Association and the Emergency Management Department),
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
acti ve wildfires to the State Warning Point, the coordination of situation reports and incident
action plans.
Attachment I . 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.

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 Division of Forestry
and those State and local agencies in support of the Division of Forestry 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 Division of
Forestry in its statutory responsibilities in responding to, controlling and suppressing
wildfires.
II. Purpose
The Collier County Emergency Management Office collaborates with the incident's
Logistics Chief for coordination of the logistical support.
The Emergency Management Department, 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 Division of
Forestry and local governments respond. The purpose of the response is to contain,
control and extinguish the wildfire.
IV. Assumptions
A. The Division of Forestry is statutorily responsible for wildfire prevention,
detection, and suppression on 26,000,000 acres in Florida.
B. The United States Forest Service and the Department of Interior are responsible
for wildfire suppression on their respective federal lands throughout the State.
C. 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.
D. From 1981 through 1998, an average of 5,656 wildfires occurred per year,
burning an average of 209,371 acres. In 1999, the wildfire season saw 4,500
wildfires consume more than 365,000 acres statewide.
E. Because of changing weather conditions, the yearly figures ranged from a low of
3,343 wildfires (with 48,586 acres burned) in 1995 to record high \3,917
wildfires in 1981.
F. In 1989, a record 645,331 acres burned statewide. However, the most intense fire
season on record occurred in 1998 due to the escalating wildland/urban interface
in the State.

CHAPTER 2 - THE RESPONSE ORGANIZA nON
I. General
This Chapter of the Annex describes the organization to be used to coordinate Collier
County's agencies support of the Division of Forestry'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 Forestry 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 Division of Forestry 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
Division of Forestry 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.

CHAPTER 3 - THE CONCEPT OF OPERA nON
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 (Division of Forestry, 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 Department of Forestry or one Strike Team is
called out, the Emergency Management Department 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 Managernent Department may deploy a liaison to
the scene upon request of the incident commander. The Emergency Management
Department will maintain a liaison with the Incident Management Team at the point
when the Multi-Agency Coordination Vehicle Post is deployed. When wildland fire-
fighting acti vities increase whereby greater logistical support is anticipated and the
State's Incident Management Tearn 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 Division of Forestry 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
based on a variety of considerations.
A. The Request for Issuing a Local Declaration of Emergency
When appropriate, the Emergency Management Department 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 Department or the IMT requests
additional powers to speed the logistical support effort.
3. When community evacuations may be required.
Page II to Annex C
~Ilf~
Collier County Comorehensive Emenzcncy Manallcment Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
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.
IV. Level One, Full Activation
A. The Emergency Management Department Guidelines to Fully Activate the
County Emergency Operations Center
The Ernergency 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;
I. 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 frorn neighboring counties.
B; The CCFCA Coordination With the Emergency Management Department
The CCFCA and the Emergency Management Department will coordinate
several critical functions as follows;
1. Ernergency Support Function 4 will provide logistical liaisons to the
Florida Division of ForestryfUS Forest Service offices or at the Unified
Expanded Dispatch.
2. A Joint Information Center (JIC) will be established at the scene. The
Division of Forestry 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 Department liaison will be included in the
planning process with the IMT personnel in the formation of the Incident
Action Plan (lAP) 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
Page 12 to Annex C
T-trn I~
Collier County Comorehensive Emerl!encv Manae:ement Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
process and provide input into the situation reports issued to the State
Emergency Operations Center.
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 Departrnent will provide all support resources for such
co-location.
The joint decision to co-locate will be based on guidelines including:
I. The number of wildfire incidents requires continual coordination and
logistical support frorn various County Emergency Support Functions.
The liaison initially provided by the Emergency Management
Department during Level Three Activation is overwhelrned with the
amount of coordination required.
2. The nurnber of wildfire incidents requires the formation and possible
forward insertion of an Area Command or multiple Area Commands.
V. Medical Unit Activation
A rnedical unit may be activated when an Incident Management Tearn is put in place to
coordinate large numbers of firefighters or ernergency 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 Division of Forestry 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 District
Forestry 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
Page 13 to Annex C
Collier County ComDrehensive Emcf!:rencv Manal!ement Plan 2008
"'Ik':m {~3
June 24 2008
The Division of Forestry 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 Departrnent 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 Managernent 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 Managernent 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. Department of Forestry.

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 (J1C) will be established at the scene comprised
of representatives of the affected fire district Department of Forestry and the EOC.
During the activation of the County Emergency Operations Center, the EOC
representative to the J1C 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 I), State & local
Fire Agencies and County agencies will provide experienced Public Information Officers
to Emergency Support Function 14 or provide access to Public Inforrnation 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 Department;
. The Florida Department of Agriculture, Division of Forestry; and,
. The Collier County Fire Chiefs' Association.
During Levell Activation, staffing may increase based on the needs of the response and
may include the Federal Emergency Managernent 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 Division of Forestry, Caloosahatchee District will notify the State
Warning Point 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.

II. Purpose of Fire Suppression Assistance
Through the Fire Suppression Assistance Program, the Federal Ernergency Management
Agency's role in cornbating 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 rnade 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 Division of Forestry, 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

recovering from and mitigate 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 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 rnitigating 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 InformationlWarning and Information Flow: Discusses the information,

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 Systern 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 Ernergency Management Department 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 acti vate 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 Department will request a Local
Declaration of Emergency from the Board of County Comrnissioners based on
the following factors:
I. Activating shelters (Host or Risk).
2. Ordering evacuation(s).
3. Closing down/reducing "normal" governmental operations.
Page 9 to Annex D
~llf3
Collier County Comnrehensive Emer2:encv Manal:!ement Plan 2008
June 24 2008
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 I, 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 Department 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.

evacuation is anticipated, the County Manager may direct the opening of
Employee Shelter(s) so that governmental services may be rnaintained/restored.
C. The CCFA's Coordination of Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) Activities
The CCFA and Emergency Management Department will jointly determine the
consolidated sheltering of CERTs. Once the Dependent and Independent Fire
Departrnents activate their CERTs, the CERTs will fall under the operational
control of the EOC. The CERTs will be assigned to perform the following
activities:
I. Damage/Impact Assessment
2. "Cornfort Station" support

CHAPTER 4 - PUBLIC INFORMATION and INFORMATION FLOW
I. General
This Chapter provides how information will be shared during a wildfire event. 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 I), State, Local
and County agencies will provide experienced Public Inforrnation Officers to Ernergency
Support Function 14 or provide access to Public Information Officers to respond to
information requests of tbat particular agency. In the initial stages of any activation, a
plan will be developed to mainly staff & activate the Collier Emergency Information
Hotline (CElli).
III. Information Flow

COLLIER COUNTY FLOOD WARNING PROGRAM
I. INTRODUCTION:
A. Purpose
I. This program establishes a framework through which Collier County may
prepare for, mitigate the impacts of, respond to, and recover frorn salt water or
fresh water tlooding conditions that could adversely affect the health, safety and
general wel fare of Collier County residents and guests.
2. Provisions are made for the needed tlexibility 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 tlood management
efforts.
B. Scope
The Collier County Flood Warning Program
I. Describes the various types of tlooding that could occur and provides procedures
for disseminating warning inforrnation and for determining, assessing and
reporting the severity and magnitude of tlooded areas,
2. Establishes the concepts under which the county government will operate in
response to tlood emergencies, and
3. Creates a framework for expeditious, effective and coordinated employment of
local resources.
4. The County Ernergency Managernent Office adrninisters/disseminates tlood
warning information to the municipalities and all response operations are
conducted under the authority of the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan.
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 tlooding disaster, the Governor will declare a State of
Disaster Emergency, and the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) will be
activated if conditions warrant.
Annex E, page - 2
:r:tem 1CcF-3
Collier County Comorehensive Emen!encv ManalIement Plan 2008
June 24 2008
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 Warning Point 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).
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 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 I and ends on November
30.
b. Other weather systems, both tropical and non-tropical, which mayor
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
flashflood-like isolated flooding from torrential rains, and mayor may
not be accompanied by high winds. These usually occur late May to late
September, but can occur at any time of the year.

1. Hurricanes/tropical storms provide the greatest flood threats to Collier County.
A listing of all hurricanes/tropical storms that carne 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 73 hurricanes/tropical storms since 1851.
Type and frequency are as follows:
Tropical Storms 40 (I in 3.9 years)
CAT I Hurricanes 8 (I in 19.2 years)
CAT 1\ Hurricanes 5 (I in 30.6 years)
CAT III Hurricanes 16 (I in 9.6 years)
CAT IV Hurricanes 4 (I in 38.3 years)
CATV Hurricanes -.J)
TOTAL 73 (I in 2.1 years)
[Hurricane Totals 33 (I in 4.7 years)]
Due to the trajectory of these storms, it is estimated that only 3 storms caused
significant storrn 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 II 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 September 14, 2002 with Tropical Storm Gabrielle.

Residents living along the coast, south and west of US 41 have the most repeated
threat potential from hurricanes or tropical storms. According to the University
of Florida 2003 Estimate, there are 296,608 residents of Collier County of this
total:
272,197 (91.77%) are in a storm surge zone.

(32.3%) are in a Category 1 zone.
(17.8%) are in a Category 2 zone.
(33.7%) are in a Category 3 zone.
(16.2%) are in a Category 4/5 zone.
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 there is only one road out of these areas and
both are susceptible to flooding when heavy precipitation arnounts
coincide with astronomical high tide.
A Category 3 storm with a storm surge of 9-12 feet could result in the
evacuation of 76%* of the residential population within Collier County.
The following hurricane/tropical storms affected coastal Collier County
since 1960.
(I) 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 A venue 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 maximurn 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.

June 24. 2008
(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 rnoved 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
normal occurred from Everglades City to Tampa Bay. Total
rainfall ranged from 20 inches near Tarnpa 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 darnage 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. Darnage
was estirnated 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 clairns filed, only 100 of thern
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.
(II) 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 sorne water damage. There was
extensive erosion along the Naples beaches and the Naples Pier
received about $500,000 in damages.
(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
Hornestead, Florida. The storm traversed the peninsula with the
eye-wall rernaining 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 NA VD 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 Compeche 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 Imrnokalee Rd (CR 846) until mid-
Novernber. *

(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 frorn 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
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" to 18". The "Vanderbilt Inn on the Gulf" had 18" of water
above ground, in Lely Barefoot Beach and along the causeway
between Everglades City and Chokoloskee Island were also
observed. The Timing of flooding conditions occurred on
Friday Morning from approximately 7:30AM in North Naples,
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 a F-2 tornado since the hurricane wind field
was so small. Only one to two foot of storm surge was reported,
having no effect on the infrastructure. Personal property losses
approximated $1.5M, mainly lanais. Debris costs to government
was 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 estirnated 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
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 UTe. Because the hurricane rnoved quickly across the
southern Florida peninsula, however, the rain amounts were not
very large in Florida and storm totals ranged generally frorn 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.
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. The problem would be
compounded if abnormally heavy rains were to fall in South and Central
Florida. If this were to occur, several highways in the County (US41,
SR951, CR8, Everglades Boulevard, Gulf Shore Boulevard, Golden Gate
Parkway) could be inundated as well as several residential areas in close
proxirnity to canals (Golden Gate City and Estates, Coconut River and
those near the Cocahatchee 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 in the western portion of the County where
elevations above sea level are low and 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 darnage in the 700 and 800 blocks of
Naples Park between 93rd Ave. North and 108th Ave. North. Additional
flooding occurred in the northeastern portion ofIrnperial Golf Estates.

June 24. 2008
(A considerable arnount of work was done in Naples Park in 1996-97 to
prevent a recurrence.)
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
Gulf of Mexico. Rainfall arnounts 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 Managernent 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 may
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 norrnal 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 rnoisture 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
Annex E, page - 10
T-fem {~3
Collier County Comnrehensive Emenzencv Manal!ement Plan 2008
June 24 2008
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 I 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.
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 2,034 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 Irnmokalee.
3. There are no major rivers within the county. Most 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 Cocahatchee River in North
Naples enters into the Gulf of Mexico via Wiggins Pass. The headwaters of each
river are south and west ofI-75. Water areas are comprised of man-made lakes,
canals, and water retention areas with only a few natural lakes.
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, rnost natural and man-made bodies of water may overflow
resulting in flooding. If this were to occur, several highways in the County
(US41, CR951, SR92, SR29, Golden Gate Parkway, Everglades Boulevard)
could be inundated as well as roads in several residential areas.
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/SR95I to the east.
The urban area consists of 7 of the 12 planning comrnunities. 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-farnily 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, Figure #3)
III. Concept of Operations
A2encv
A.
This program is based on the principle that the County bears the initial responsibility for
disaster response and recovery. As a corollary to this principal, each level within local
government will accomplish the functions for which it is responsible, requesting relief
frorn 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 Division of Emergency Management only after the Board of County Cornmissioners
has adopted a State of Local Emergency.
B.
The Ernergency Management Director may activate portions of the plan, if a flood
disaster/emergency threatens, prior to the Board of County Commissioner's decision to
issue a Declaration of State of Local Emergency. In this situation, the Ernergency
Management Department will coordinate increased readiness procedures and such
emergency response actions as might be necessary for the immediate protection of life
and property.
c.
When State and local resources are determined to be inadequate to the flood emergency,
the Governor will request assistance through the Federal Ernergency 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.
D.
When conditions are favorable for flooding from either storm surge flooding or from
fresh water flooding from the normal amounts of precipitation over a short period of
time, the following actions will be taken by the agencies listed below:
Action Responsibilitv
Emergency Management (ESF-S)
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 a facility/activity.
3. To notify all primary respondents as the situation dictates.
4. To advise the public of the situation through local radio and TV
announcements.
Annex E, page - 12

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
Department 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-I6)
To provide traffic control and security for those in the flood threatened
area and shelter security.
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 Ernergency Response Team
(CERT) responses.
Collier County EMS (ESF-8)
1. To provide ambulance/rescue service.
2. To provide first-aid support at each shelter.
Transportation/Road Dept (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 install traffic barriers to prevent non-essential traffic from
entering flooded areas.
Transportation (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.
Collier County Health Dept. (ESF-8)

hospitals, and public shelters.
Civil Air Patrol (ESF-2)
To provide communications, search and rescue, and damage assessment
support.
Salvation Army (ESF-6)
To provide mobile feeding sites.
D. 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. Both weather agencies will contact the Collier Ernergency
Management Department via telephone or ESA TCOM. Additionally, the EOC obtains
meteorological information and images via satellite and private meteorological services.
Information may also be transrnitted by the statewide facsimile network and by PACKET
radio from Miami Weather to the EOC.
1. The Emergency Satellite Communications System (ESATCOM) will be the
primary means of receiving advance notification of possible flooding conditions.
The satellite weather receiver and the weather services contractor will provide
corroboration of advisories received from Miami Weather and/or the Tropical
Prediction Center.
2. Hurricanes and their related storm surge and precipitation arnounts 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 in
the main corridor for the general public.
3. 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 Managernent Director will assess the situation and if
appropriate, call a briefing session with all concerned agencies.
Annex E, page - 14
T~ IlePs
Collier County COffiorehensi ve Emere:encv Manallement Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
b. The Public Information Officer (PIO) in coordination with the Board of
County Commissioners and Emergency Management Department 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 Blast Fax to
all public safety and media outlets that service Collier County. These
advisories will 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 departrnent provides at least 100
hurricane seminars per year. In each seminar, storm surge vulnerability
is stressed, along with flood insurance requirements and methods to
mitigate against any damage from flooding. In these talks to the
community, evacuation routes and shelters are also made available.
f. During periods of Emergency Operation Center activations, WSGL-FM*
(local EAS station) and local Governrnent Access (Channel 11/16) will
broadcast directly from the EOC. All other rnedia 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.
4. Since the main flood threat to Collier County residents is from
hurricanes/tropical storms, every effort will be rnade 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" and helpful
hints to the daily and/or weekly papers. In all of their presentations, the
following items must be stressed:
a. Areas that are particularly vulnerable to flooding frorn 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
E. Requests for State Assistance must be forwarded to the State Emergency Operations
Center for assessment and approval before deployrnent 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 state
resources would be needed must be identified.
IV. Execution
This Annex to the Comprehensive Ernergency 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
Increasing the public's awareness of flood hazards and the methods they can use for
protecting themsel ves 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 irnportant for saving lives, minimizing
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 Managernent Department 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. Transportation Services Administrator
I. Sheriff or his representative

June 24, 2008
J. President, Fire Chiefs' Association
k. Communications & Customer Relations
3. An "All Hazards Guide" is updated and reprinted during May of each year for
distribution to residents and guests of Collier County. Approxirnately 70,000
copies of this pamphlet are printed and distributed annually. 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 Department who
will advise them of their vulnerability to flooding and iterns that they should
bring to a shelter in the event of an evacuation. The Ernergency Management
Department will also arrange for transportation to shelter if needed.
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
This phase may have several pre-disposing conditions whereby any or all of those
conditions being absent rnay not warrant a flood threat concern. The following
conditions, compounded, increase the flood threat concern and result in the associated
Ernergency Operations Center activation level.
a. 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.
a. High tides occurring during the heaviest rainy periods.
a. A series of rain clouds producing a "training effect" over an area.
1. Level Three, Monitoring Phase
a. Emergency Management will:
a. Monitor the flooding potential and 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.
Annex E, page - 17
:r'4erh IltF3
Collier County COffiorehensive EmcfI!cncY Manallcment Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
b. Collaborate with both the National Weather Service Office in
Miami and the State Warning Point on the flooding event
potential.
c. Using GIS-type mapping products depicting areas susceptible to
past flooding events, alert response agencies based on the
weather forecasts.
d. Activate the Collier Storm Spotter/Skywam network either
based on the daily Hazardous Weather Outlook product of the
National Weather Service or when weather situations
deteriorate.
e. Initiate conference calls with the various fire districts, as needed.
2. Transportation Division will rnaintain 24-hrs X 7-day capability to respond to
public regarding roadway concerns.
C. 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
absorbing a heavy rainfall arnount and therefore roadway flooding, etc., will present
hazardous/adverse conditions to the public.
1. Level Two, Partial Activation
a. Ernergency Management will:
1) Continue with all activities in the Threat Recognition Stage.
2) Provide regular updates via E-mail/Blastfax/Web Page to staff
and the local governmental agencies.
3) Assemble complete EOC staff and brief at the initial stages of
Level 2 Activation, depending on the anticipated severity of the
event.
4) Consider activating the Collier Information Center.
5) Monitor the flooding event and disseminate details of the
impacts via all means identified in the "Basic Plan".
6) Continue to collaborate with both the National Weather Service
Office in Miami, the State Warning Point on the flooding event
potential and adjacent counties.
Annex E, page - 18

7) Activate the SkyWam Weather Spotter Network to report
rainfall impacts.
8) Pre-identify and coordinate shelter openings, as required
9) Initiate actions for a Local State of Emergency, if warranted.
b. Municipal liaisons will maintain be requested to rnonitor the event's
impact on their jurisdiction from the EOC.
c. Collier Schools will be asked to remain at the EOC while school
delay/closing decisions are anticipated/made.
I) Collier Fire Chiefs will alert their CERTs regarding impact reporting and
first responder assistance requirements.
e. American Red Cross will:
I) Open shelters as requested.
2) Provide humanitarian services, as necessary.
3) Provide a liaison to the EOC, as requested.
4) Keep the Emergency Managernent office advised on the findings
from the Damage Assessment.
f. Collier Sheriff will:
I) Provide liaison to EOC when requested.
2) Coordinate traffic activities
g. Transportation Division will:
I) Provide a liaison to the EOC to maintain an accurate, current
listing of affected roadways.
2) Take reports from the public regarding flooding (774-8924/25)
and maintain flooding records.
3) Blockade flooded roadways as necessary.
4) Submit projects and mitigation initiatives to the Mitigation
Committee when called.
D. Other Response Elements
Annex E, page - 19
::r:-br> I~
Collier County Comnrehensive Emenlencv Mana2ement Plan 2008
June 24. 2008
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 about 150 trained spotters. The spotters receive regular weather
infonnation updates from the EOC, via E-mail, and through the other media.
2. Emergency Email Network (www.emergencyemail.org): This group
automatically disseminates the NWS's text weather warning products related to
Collier County. Recipients of this free service can subscribe any or all their
electronic instruments to it. Additionally, the EOC has access to transmit special
statements via this service to all subscribers.
3. Cable Override: The Emergency Management Office has been given the
telephone numbers and passwords to access both the cable television networks
audio systems and thereby trigger separate EAS activations. Not only is the
general public alerted, so are the specialized teams, e.g., SkyWarn and Amateur
radio, CERTs.
4. 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,
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
I. 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 darnage. These
records can often be saved by prompt salvage action. Technical guidance for
records preservation can be obtained frorn the Emergency Managernent
Department or the State Division of Emergency Managernent.
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 ernergency,
accurate accounting is required to identify and docurnent:
1) Funds for which Federal reimbursement will be requested
should a Presidential Declaration be made and,
2) Those funds eligible for reirnbursement under emergency or
major disaster project applications.
b. Cost Centers
Given the tirne 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:
I) Departmental- This cost center will be used to fund all normal
departrnental activities in response to, or associated with, the
hazardous weather event.
2) Debris Removal - This cost center draw will be lirnited 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 OfficelEOC 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 Ernergency
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

Collier County Comnrehensi ve Emer~encv Manal!ement Plan 2008
June 24 2008
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 providing 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. Exercises will be
conducted as part of the FEMA 4-year exercise plan and / or the
Statewide Hurricane exercise scheduled between April and June of each
year.
b. There are three types of exercises:
I) 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.
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
I) Exercises will be scheduled jointly by the response agencies and
the Emergency Management Department. Scenarios will be
developed with inputs frorn 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,
Annex E, page - 22
:I--lO'YI1&F-3
Collier County COffinrehensive Emen!:encv Manal2ement Plan 2008
June 24 2008
(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.
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:
I) 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 tearns will be part of the flood exercise.
2) Medical drills involving simulated injuries will be conducted as
part of the exercise.
D.
Program
Maintenance and Auxiliary Activation of the Collier County Flood Warning
The Emergency Management Department 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 prograrn will be activated periodically in order to conduct exercises
as part of the review process.
