Agenda 07/12/2016 Item #17D 7/12/2016 17.D.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt an Ordinance to Amend Ordinance 2002-56, The Collier County
Citizen Corps Ordinance.
OBJECTIVE: To request the adoption of an Ordinance to amend Ordinance 2002-56 for the purpose of
incorporating changes necessary to achieve National accreditation through the Emergency Management
Accreditation Progrma(EMAP) and better alignment with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
National Preparedness Goal.
CONSIDERATIONS: At its June 28, 2016 Regular Meeting, the Board authorized the advertisement of an
Ordinance to amend the Citizen Corps Ordinance 2002-56. The Ordinance updates will align the Collier County
Citizen Corps advisory committee with the EMAP and the FEMA National Preparedness Goal. The EMAP
standards and voluntary accreditation process are intended to promote consistent quality in emergency
management and homeland security programs, thus providing tangible benefits to the community and public
infrastructure in which we serve. It also will help to improve our strategic planning, collaborative efforts, and
resource allocations as EMAP assesses the emergency management program as a whole County to include all of
our stakeholders.
Collier County Ordinance No. 2002-56, the Collier County Citizen Corps Ordinance, established the Citizen
Corps as an advisory committee to coordinate activities within Collier County to protect its citizens, to the
maximum extent possible, against threats of terrorism. The proposed ordinance modifies certain sections of
Ordinance No. 2002-56 so that the Citizen Corps may also serve in the capacity required by an accredited
Emergency Management Program to coordinate activities with an all hazards and whole of community approach
in alignment with the National Preparedness Goal as well as updating other membership and participation
issues.
Additionally, an exception related to membership is included in the proposed ordinance amendment. The
exception will allow an applicant for the Citizen Corps advisory committee who resides outside of Collier
County to be considered upon request and recommendation of his or her agency. This exception recognizes
that the agency members (i.e. local municipalities, County EMS, Florida Department of Health, etc.) that
comprise the advisory committee may recommend their employees to serve and those employees may also
reside out of Collier County.
The Citizen Corps met on April 5, 2016 and voted in favor of amending the Ordinance. The exception was
added to the ordinance amendment after the vote because it recently has become relevant to an upcoming
appointment by the Florida Department of Health.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to advertise the proposed Ordinance was $422.86.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney Office reviewed this item and approved it as to form and
legality. Majority support of the Board is required for approval. JAB
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board adopts an Ordinance amending the Citizen Corps Ordinance 2002-56.

indicated the goal of strengthening the security and resilience of the United States is through
systematic preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation.
With the 2015 update to the National Preparedness Goal, FEMA follows a whole community
approach to all hazards preparedness recognizing that everyone can contribute to and benefit
from national preparedness efforts.

necessary to provide information to the citizens of Collier County and to act as a coordinating
agency for the enhancement of activities that support emergency services, law enforcement and
disaster prevention, preparedness and response. While these activities remain in effect. a
modernized focus of the Committee is imperative to update the roles and responsibilities with an
all hazards approach across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond
to. and recover from threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.
4. The Board finds that the Committee will assist in the recruitment of volunteers by
publicizing and expanding existing community programs such as: Medical Reserve,
Neighborhood Watch, Community Emergency Response T ams (CERT), Volunteers In Police
Service (VIPS) and other public safety and law enforcement programs.
-5:4. The Board finds that the Committee is necessary to facilitate communication between
Collier County and State and Federal agencies on mitigation all hazard activities as well as to
enable Collier County to identify outside resources such as grants, training opportunities and
equipment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the Emergency Management Division to proceed with
accreditation to meet comprehensive national standards through the Emergency Management
Accreditation Program (EMAP).
OBJECTIVE: To obtain the highest level of national accreditation in emergency disaster response
to serve the residents of the County community prior to, during, and through recovery in times of disaster
or emergency.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Bureau of Emergency Services set a goal in 2008 to have all three of
• its major divisions, (EMS. MedFlight and Emergency Management) to become nationally accredited. To
the credit of Collier County EMS Chief and staff, both MedFlight and EMS have achieved the rigorous
standards of national accreditation for their respective services. T h e Emergency Management
Accreditation Program, then in its infancy, has now become the official national standard and "best
practice" for Emergency Management programs. Emergency Management's accreditation focus has a
large scope requiring over 64 comprehensive standards to be addressed covering the Emergency
Management Program as a whole. This encompasses the County and its Departments' overall disaster
readiness as well as that of the Emergency Management Division, multiple private sector,
nongovernmental agencies, and other governmental organizations within Collier County.
The Emergency Management Division within the Bureau of Emergency Services and Administrative
Services Department wants to obtain national accreditation status via the only national accreditation
body- the Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) operated by the Kentucky Regional
Planning Council and supported by FEMA, the International Association of Emergency Managers
(IAEM), the National Association of Emergency Management Association (NEMA), and the Florida
Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). Achieving national accreditation within the Emergency
Management Division will illustrate to the residents of the County and our disaster response partners the
highest level of service and best practice standards toward serving our community prior to, during.. and
recovery through times of disaster or emergency_
Staff believes the investment in accreditation will offer the following benefits to Collier County:
• Demonstrating the commitment to exceed expectations to County residents and guests;
• Working toward a national accredited program may contribute to the Community Rating
System,thereby, contributing to reduced flood insurance cost; and,
• It is anticipated that FEMA and the Florida Division of Emergency Management will make
certain incentives or give future pilot program(s) priority to accredited local Emergency
Management Programs.
The Florida Division of Emergency Management actively supports Counties becoming nationally
accredited by providing technical support and subscriber resources. Accreditation assessments are
conducted by non-paid highly trained peer professionals under the supervision of EMAP. Presently there
are 10 accredited County's in the State of Florida, 34 States, eight Federal agencies, three universities,
and two international programs.
During the recent benchmark assessment phase of our EMAP kick-off, staff identified the need for Board
support as follows to be successful in this accreditation program:
1. Approve the plan to proceed with national accreditation with the Emergency Management
Accreditation Program operated by the Kentucky Regional Planning Council.
[1 6-EMG-00371/1240909/1] Revised 9/1512015
version 15.1
Packet Page -2369-
7/12/2016 17.D.
2. Authorize staff to advertise minor modifications to the Citizen Corps Advisory Committee
Ordinance #02-56 that adds an "all-hazards and whole of community" approach as required
by EMAP as well as other membership and participation issues.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is estimating cost not to exceed the following mounts:
1. Cost to publically notice proposed ordinance changes of S1,900.
2. Cost for the on-site volunteer peer review and countywide interviews conducted by the
Emergency Management Accreditation Program assessment team will be requested in the 2017
annual budget. The cost is presently estimated at$18,000.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as
to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves the Emergency Management Division to
proceed with accreditation to meet comprehensive national standards through the Emergency Management
Accreditation Program (EMAP).

PREFACE'
The Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP), as an independent non-profit
organization, fosters excellence and accountability in emergency management and homeland
security programs by establishing credible standards applied in a peer review assessment and
accreditation process. Ongoing concerns about terrorism, pandemic influenza, and catastrophic
natural disasters, world leaders and citizens continue to acknowledge the need to efficiently and
effectively strengthen disaster preparedness measures and response capabilities. The
Emergency Management Standard and the voluntary accreditation process are intended to
promote consistent quality in emergency management programs. Thus, providing tangible
benefits to the community and public infrastructure these programs serve. Many programs
utilize the standards and process for strategic planning, improvement efforts and resource
allocations.
When work on the EMAP began in 1997, no one could have foreseen the importance of
establishing sound emergency management and homeland security standards for use around
the globe. The Accreditation Feasibility Study completed in 1998 marks the collaboration of
major contributing organizations supporting the need for an accreditation program to
professionalize emergency management. The EMAP Commission was seated in 2002 and has
been accrediting programs since 2003. In 2007, the first edition of the Emergency Management
Standard was published. A great milestone in the history of the organization came in 2008 with
the recognition as a Standard Developing Organization by the American National Standard
Institute (ANSI). Thus, paving a way to formalize a relevant emergency management standard
utilizing a voluntary consensus process. In 2010, the Emergency Management Standard
became an American National Standard. As the EMAP matures, the standard developing
organization has accredited a mix of various size programs and continues to test the standards
and the accreditation process in all factions where Emergency Management Programs serve
their populous.
The Emergency Management Standard is a scalable yet rigorous industry standard for
Emergency Management Programs. The Standard is flexible in design so that programs of
differing sizes, populations, risks, and resources can use it as a blueprint for improvement and
can attain compliance with the standard. The Standard was collaboratively developed in a
series of working groups of emergency management stakeholders from government, business
and other sectors, and continues to evolve to represent the best in emergency management.
The Emergency Management Standard is revised on a three-year cycle that consists of
committee collaboration within the EMAP Standard Subcommittee; a public comment period;
and support from the EMAP Technical Committee that provides recommendations to the EMAP
Commission. The formal process is based on the combination of EMAP and ANSI policy and
procedures.
This edition of the Emergency Management Standard incorporates revisions recommended to
the EMAP Commission by the Technical Committee, based on public comments and proposals
pursuant to ANSI Standards, as well as user input. The Emergency Management Standard will
continue to evolve as new threats as well as improved practices and solutions for prevention,
preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery emerge. Collaboration of all stakeholders is
desired and encouraged by the EMAP Commission to keep the Emergency Management
Standard current as a standard of excellence for all Emergency Management Programs.
