Agenda 09/28/2021 Item #16F 5 (Resolution - Bureau of Emergency Services Emergency Management)09/28/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution supporting the Bureau of Emergency Services,
Emergency Management Division working with its partner agencies and County divisions to
participate in nuclear power plant drills and exercises in conjunction with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Florida Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM), and Florida Power and Light.
OBJECTIVE: To authorize the Bureau of Emergency Services, Emergency Management Division to
conduct periodic drills to develop and maintain key skills and identify any deficiencies and allocate the
necessary staff time and local resources needed to participate in training, planning and exercising its
emergency response plans to meet federal and state guidelines.
CONSIDERATIONS: Code of Federal Regulations Section 10 CFR 50.47(b)14 requires that periodic
exercises be conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities and certain non -
inhabited areas of Collier County that lie within the fifty-mile ingestion pathway zone of the Turkey Point
Nuclear Power Plant in Homestead, Florida. FEMA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission require
local government participation in certain drills and exercises to protect citizens and various commercial,
agricultural, and environmental concerns in the ingestion pathway zone.
Significant benefit is derived from this participation by increasing the number of drills and exercises to
maintain proficiency in emergency operations and public communications and Collier County may be
required to host shelter evacuees from the vicinity of the nuclear power plant. Additionally, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, FEMA, and Florida Power and Light may from time-to-time request Collier
County’s Emergency Management’s participation in certain trainings, meetings, rule making and post
exercise evaluations and public hearings at various locations to evaluate exercise performance.
Staff further requests authorization to accept (when available) supplie s, equipment, training opportunities,
training and travel cost and meals that may be provided or reimbursed by the FDEM and/or Florida Power
and Light in support of these drills, exercises, and in the unlikely event of an actual emergency response.
The Director of Emergency Services will report to the Board any relevant donations of supplies and
equipment for accounting and/or donation recognition purposes. Such equipment may include, but not be
limited to: Radiological Instrumentation, Portal Monitors, Dosimeters, Shelter and refuge supplies such as
tarps, blankets, and traffic control barriers. In the event of an actual emergency, the County will seek
reimbursement from the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant, FEMA or other available sources for any
direct cost incurred from an incident.
The Emergency Management Division will seek cooperation and participation from numerous local
organizations including, but not limited to, Collier County Sheriff's Office, local fire districts, local
municipalities, Collier County EMS, Florida Department of Health-Collier County, local hospitals,
Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission, Florida Power and Light, and any other organizations who may be impact ed or called upon
to respond as needed.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board. - JAB
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to conduct and/or participate in these training and planning sessions is
diminimous and can be absorbed within the County’s established budgets.
