response.

and expanding existing community programs such as: Medical reserve, neighborhood watch, community

To: Board of County Commissioners' Chairman Fred Coyle
The Collier County Citizen Corps Advisory Committee is in its tenth year of activity, providing
emergency preparedness coordination and cooperation in the event of a disaster, as well as in
normal conditions. The Committee is composed of eleven representatives of County First
Responders, as well as volunteer disaster support organizations. In addition, the Committee is
augmented by eleven representatives of municipalities, hospitals, and associated entities.
The Committee meets semi - monthly to keep members abreast of current and forecast threats, as
well as capabilities and developments within each organization. It also oversees the Collier County
Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group, meeting quarterly to discuss and, where appropriate, take
advantage of FEMA disaster mitigation program and grant opportunities. This group is composed
largely of municipal, county and public utility officials.
The Committee therefore encourages pre- disaster damage mitigation, as well as coordinated
response in the event of disaster. First response organizations are augmented by both trained units,
such as Civil Air Patrol, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Community Emergency Response Teams, Red Cross,
Salvation Army, and Medical Reserve Corps, as well as volunteer groups such as Retired and Senior
Volunteer Program, Neighborhood Watch, Veterans Council, and Chamber of Commerce, among
others. Utilizing the cooperation of member organizations, Collier County Citizen Corps further
provides hazard awareness and preparedness to individual residents and visitors through annual
participation in local forums, hurricane seminars, and conferences.
Collier Citizen Corps works closely with the Emergency Management Department, implementing its
responsibilities to communicate with and prepare citizens to mitigate, anticipate, survive, and
recover from disaster.
