CONCEPT AND DESI GN
Pu rposs
On August 24, 1992 Hurricane Andrew devastated southern Dade County with the worst natural disaster to strike ft
United States. The personnel of Miami -Dade County F ire Rescue responded rapi dly and ti relesd y in assisting the citi zens
of these communities. Numerous Fire -Rescue agencies from across the State of Florida and the nation assisted in this
valiant effort. It became abundantly dear from this disaster, and the ensuing relief effort, which followed, that greallar
coordination for inter -agency disaster management was required.
The purpose of the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association's F FCA Statewide Emergency Response Plan (SERP) (name changed
in April 2002 from the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association's Statewide Fire -Rescue Disaster Response Plan) is to provide
such coordination. It is based on a series of observed occurrences resulting from the shared experiences during Hurricane
Andrew. It is also an evolution of our past experiences in dealing with the day -today incidents that continually challenge
our resources and competencies. Most importantly, it isa practical approach in providing a useful guide to assist the fire
service in managing thetypes of devastation that occur in the state.
The Florida Fire Chiefs' Association created the FFCA SERP to provide for the systematic mobilization, deployment,
organization, and management of emergency resources throughout the Florida, and the Nation, in assisting local agencies
in mitigating the effects of emergencies and disaster. The local Fire -Rescue agency is the first tier of defense in
responding to natural and man-made disasters (emergencies). The primary function of Fire -Rescue personnel in the wake
of a disaster is to conduct search and rescue activities, treat the injured found, and transport them to the closest available
medical facility. No community hasthe resources sufficient to cope with all emergencies.
Florida, with its large and rapidly growing population centers located in regions susceptible to hurricanes, tomadoes, and
flooding, accentuales the need for this level of coordination and preparation. The effective management of emergency
response personnel during the incipient stage of any major incident and throughout its extended operations, will, by far,
have the most significant impact on life loss and the sewrRy of injuries to the affected population. The FFCA SERP
lends itself to the rapid activation and reEponse of aid to a community in the event of localized all -hazard emergencies.
These events include train derailments, hazardous materials incidents, wildland fires domestic terrorism and other events
thatmay overwhelm the department serving the oommun4and its normal mutual aid resources.
Key Concepts of the FFCASERP
The FFCA SERP is directed towards enhancing disaster management and emergency reeponse at the local, county, and
state level of government by.
1. Utilizing the National Incident Management System (NIMS)asa model to manage actions during a disaster.
2. Providing central coordination for Fire -Rescue resource response through Regional Management Teams, via
Emergency Support Functions (ESF) for firefighting and search and rescue (ESF 4 & 9) at the State Emergency
Operation Center (Slate EOC).
3. Providing resourcesfor pre -hospital EMS i n coordination with ESF 8.
4. Pre -designating responsibilitiesforleadership and resourcesatthelocal, county, and stale levels.
5. Integrating Fire -Rescue into the planning and response phases of Emergency Management systems at the county
and state level.
6. Encouraging each agency to sign the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement for Catastrophic Disaster Response and
Recovery, which supports all Fire -Rescue agencies responding in supportof the FFCA SERP.
7. Supportthe response to hazardous material incidents in coordination with ESF 10. (4/6/04)
8. Supportthe response needs for Publiclnformation Cfficerswith ESF 14. (4/6/04)
Coordination of FFCA SERP
The coordination of the FFCA SERP, including itsdevelopment, revision, distribution, training and implementation is the
responsibility of the Florida Fire Chiefs Association. The FFCA Emergency Response Committee will oversee this
process. The committeewill be composed of thefollowing:
• Emergency Response Committee Chair (FFCA State Coordinator)
• Emergency Response Committee, Vice -Chair
Pages of 58
Kathleen Finley - No ! a fire chiefs plan pdf Page
• Regional Emergency Response Coordinators (FFCA Regional Coordinator), one representative from each
Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) Regions, totaling seven
• DEM, one representative
• Division of Forestry (DOF), one representative
• Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, one representative
• Florida Division of State Fire Marshal, one representative
• Association of Public Safety Communication Office:s(APCO),one representative
• Florida Association of PubUclnformationOfficers(FAPIO),one representative
• Florida Emergency Preparedness Association (FEPA), one representative
• Florida Association forSearch and Rescue (FASAR), one representative
• Florida Em ergen cy Preparedness Association (FEPA)
• Florida Association of Emergency Vehicle Technicians (FAEVT), one representative
• Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), one representative (4/6104)
• Florida Association of HazMat Responders (FLAHR), one representative(416/04)
The President of FFCA, with FFCA Board of Direclors approval, and consultation with the FFCA Emergency Response
Committee Chair, can add to this membership as deemed necessary for the success of the FFCA SERP.
FFCA SERP Revision Process
September: The FFCA Emergency Response Committee members are requested by the committee chair to solicit
their respective arms, for recommended revisions to the FFCA SERP. These individuals will provide
written comments to the chair by the Fall quarterly meeting of the FFCA.
October: At the FFCA Quarterly Board of Directors meeting, the committee chair, through the FFCA board liaison,
summarizesthe recommended revisions to the FFCA SERP. The board of d I rack) rs prov ides preliminary
direction as to the scope of the proposed changes and sends it back to the Emergency Response
Committeefor final draft
January: The FFCA Emergency Response Committee provides a final draft of the Revised FFCA SERP to the
FFCA Executive Director for reproduction and distribution to the board of directors The board of
direclors will review the revisions and adopt the FFCA SERP.
April: The Revised FFCA SERP will be distributed to all FFCA Emergency Response Team members and revisions will
be included in the annual FFCA SERP training. The updated FFCA SERP will be posted on the Association's Web page.
Regional Representation
The Florida Fire Chiefs' Association divided thestate into (8) eight regional response areas. The Regions are designated 1
07 North & 7 South. Although not consistent with the DEM Regions since DEM does not separate Region 7 into Norm
and South, it does facilitate dose coordination with State planning and response. Within each Region, an appointed
Regional Emergency Response Coordinator (Regional Coordinator) will appoint a Region Management Team (RMT).
The Regional Coordinatorwill lead the RMT and appoint at least one alternate for each position. Representatives should
be geographically separate in the region, minimizing the possibility of both persons being directly affeded in the event of
an emergency occurring in thatregion.
Each RMT is responsible for trakddng all available resources within the region. The FFCA SERP has incorporated
standardized forms for ordering resources into the affect?d areas. Activity logs and chronological logs that are in
compliance with state and federal guidelines are available to participating agencies. Current standardized fee schedules for
the use of apparatus and equipment, allowable replacement costs will be provided to the participating agency when
reimbursements are requested on declared disasters. It will be the responsibility of the participating agency to submit
reimbursement forms to the appropriate local, state or Federal agency. The seven DEM Regions are designated on the
following map. For SERP Planning purposes, DEM Region 7 in divided into 7 North (Indian River, St. Lucia,
Martin, and Palm Beach Counttes)and7 South (Broward,Miami-Dade,and Monroe Counties).

Organizatilwal Structure and Responsibilities
The organizational structure within each Region utilizes the designated roles of the Model National Incident Management
System (NIMS). The RMT appointed by the Regional Coordinator shall assume the functional responsibilities, outlined
on the following page, These include Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finanoe/Ad min istration, and EMS Liaison. FFCA
County Emergency Response Coordinators (County Coordinator) must be appointed for each county as vital logistical
link from the area. Alternates for each position should be appointed, in the event that the primary person is not available
during an emergency. The above appointments should be. if possible, geographically separate from each other in the
Region. The individual departments shall then muster resourcesfor the Region in support of the FFCA SERP. The seven
Regions, (including 7N and 7S) combined, comprise the Statewide Emergency Response Network (SERN), which
ultimately will receive its direction during an emergency from the FFCA State Emergency Response Coordinator (State
Coordinator). The State Coordinator or his designee wil I staff ESF 4 & 9 in the State EOC, with representatives from the
State Fire Marshal's Office (SFMO), coordinating resource reeponse into the affected Region.
The SFMO is lead agency and manages ESF 4 & 9. An IMS structure, with pre -designated positions, is established in the
State EOC in Tallahassee. Support staff will consist of members of the SFMO and members of the FFCA. The FFCA
coordinates resource requests, serving as the Logistics function for statewide resources as requested by ESF 4 & 9, and
other ESF's. The FFCA also serves as an advisor to DEM and the SFMO management issues.
The FFCA and DSFM have entered into an MOU with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection relating to
periods of activations of the SEOC. Under the agreement, ESF 4 & 9 and ESF 10 will work together on deployment of
various hazardous materials response units including the District Response Teams. The SERF procedures will form the
basis for these requests. (4/6/04)

STATE OF FLORIDA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Structure
The emergency management structure in the state of Florida is guided by Florida Statute Chapter 252 and sets up a
strucUre, which has four levels of intervention (local, county, state and federal). The basic concept of the SERP is the
lowest level of government shall have initial responsibility for emergency response and relief, attempt ng to mitigate the
situation with the resources available at that level. Requests forassistancefrom the next higher level of government will
be made when the magnitude of the disaster either exceeds the resources of the local level of government or the resources
needed are not availabl a at the local level.
Under Chapter 252, each county government ► s to operate an emergency management agency for the purpose of
coordinating disaster relief efforts in that county. Upon exhaustion of resourcesat the county level, requests for State
assistance A 11 be made to the Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM). Rapid Impact Assessment Teams
(RIAT) A II be sent to evaluate the damage and the assistance needed through the State. Based on this or other
information, the Governor may declare a state of emergency exists, and direct state resources into the affected area.
The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) would be activated at this time and will provide direct liaison to the
County EOC regarding the coordination of state resources operating and/or responding into the affected area.
State agencies will provide resources to local government according to the functional responsibilities outlined on the
following page. These functions are referred to as Emergency Support Functions (ESF). For each function, a designated
Stateagency will have primary responsibility and will provide resources and leadership relating to that function.
When local and state resources aredetermined to be inadequateto respond to the emergency, the Governor will request
assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The requests will be based on state and local
damage reports and expenditure reports for disaster -related activities. When the President of the Uni ted States declares an
emergency or a major disaster, federal assistance would then be authorized to assist State government. In Florida, the
DEM hasbeen designated as the state agency responsible forcoordinating assistance received through federal programs.

ACTIVATION OF THE FFCA SERP
When afire department is affected by an emergency situation locally, the fire chief will request additional assistancefrom
area mutual aid agencies. When the department is no longer able to obtain additional assistance from area departments,
requests for additional assistance must be directed to the County EOC. When the County EOC has exhausted all local
resources, a request for additional assistance will be made to the State EOC. The request at the State BDC will be
forwarded to ESF 4 & 9. The FFCA SERP will be activated when a request for additional assistance has been made to
ESF 4 & 9 at the State EOC.
Request forAsststance (RFA)
Each firedepartment that has signed the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement has authorized three (3) individuals to sign on
behalf of that agency when requesting or deploying resources All requests for assistance will be processed through the
State EOC utilizing the "Request for Assistance Form" (FFCA Form 1a). The requesting agency will complete the top
portion of the form, assuring that a detailed explanation of the mission to which those resources will be assigned is
included. The requestor then utilizesthe remainder of the form to identifyexactly what and how many of each resource
type will be needed. The form utilizes the accepted resourcetyping methodology included within this plan. That request
will then be forwarded to the State BDC for processing, through ESF 4 & 9, who will fill the request uti lining the FFCA
SERP. Oncea Region has committed to filling a request, the responding agency is to complete the "Responseto Request
for Assistance Form" (FFCA Form 1b). Care should be taken to assure the proper type of resource and number being
committed is completed, for each resourcebeing deployed by the assisting agency. In addition, an hourly estimate of costs
for the committed resources and estimated transportation costs to and from home base must be included on thisform. That
form, along with theCrew Deployment Form forthat mission isto be returned to the State EOC, ESF 4 & 9 desks.
Resource Inventory
Each Region will maintain an updated inventory of its equipment, vehicles and personnel, which are available for
responsewithin the scope of the FFCA SERP. The participating agencies will review the resource inventory section for
completion and submit to their County Coordinator, who will gather the resource sheets and pass them on to the Regional
Coordinator. It is dearly understood, as is the standard practice with all mutual aid agreements that all equipment,
vehicles, and personnel listed will be provided within the FFCA SERP only if available at the time of the request When a
request for assistance is received, the County Coordi natorwill call each participati ng department to request theiravail able
resources for deployment. The Regional Coordinabr will utilize the resource inventory as a guide to track and request
available resources. The FI orida Fire Chiefs' Association developed a method of typing resources which is consistent with
resource typing used by the Florida Division of Forestry and is indicated in Appendix B along with completed examples.
The available resources are to be updated annually in accordance with the following guidelines utilizing the "Resource
InventoryForms7 (FFCA Form 2).
Directions
1. Only i n d ud a reso urcest hat are available for response to an emergency elsewhere,
without reducing your own capabilitlesto an unacceptable level.
2. The Types refer to mi nimum requirements. If all requirements are not metfora Type 1, but are for aType 2, then list
it accurately as aType 2 (Example:1250 GPM pumperwith 500 gallons of water, meeting all other Type 1
requi rements, but coil I be listed as a Type 2 because it has less than 750 gallons of wabr)
Use the special information area on the inventory list for resources that need clarification for unusual attributes
(Example: personnel that are bi-lingual or sign for the deaf). U se a separate list, if necessary, for additional
resources not typed on these resource lists. Be specific in describing features or qualifications.

DEPLOYMENT OF RESOURCES
Critical Concepts
Critical to the success of the deployment section of the SERP are the three (3) concepts of; efficient timeframe for
deployment; the ability to pre -stage resources in advance of a pending disaster; and preidentified Strike Teams and Task
Forces within each region. In concert with these concepts, it is critical that all resources deployed are adequately
documented and tracked from within each sponsoring Region. In addition, it is imperative that our personnel arrive on
scene of a disaster with complete, appropriate PPE. The minimum personal protective equipment (PPE) for all out of
jurisdiction assignments through the FFCA SERP shall be full structural PPE, as specified in NFPA Standards. In
addition, it is highly recommended that for deployments including wildfire assignments, wildland PPE as specified in
NFPA standards be carried as well,
m Ti me Frame for Deployment: Unless specified otherwise at the time of request, the standard for deployment of
resources shall be within three (3) hours of the mission assignment from the State EOC. Under certein
circumstances a more rapid deployment may be deemed necessary by the State EOC and auttwrized as a "Rapid
Activation'. Time frame for deployment of these missions shall be within one (1) hour of the mi ssion assignment
from State ECC. It is anticipated that the pre -identified Strike Teams will fill these resource requests.
00 Pre identified Strike Teams each Region is encouraged to pre -identify Strike Teams, made up of five (5) like
resources, and/or Task Forces, made up of five (5) mixed resources. Each Strike Team and/or Task Force is to
have a designated, trained Team Leader and common radio communications. The primary mission of the Strike
Teams and/or task Foroeswill be response into areasaffecled by an emergency, to work within the Command
Structure within that affected area. The most common use of these pre -identified teams will be for incident
requiring a rapid response, particularly those designated "Rapid Activation". It is anticipated that "Rapid
Activations" will peak quickly and terminate within a shorter time frame, thereby allowing for a shorter
preparation time. To accomplish the rapid deployment all of the required deployment documentation should be
compiled and maintained bythe Regional Coordinatorin advance
00 Pre -Staged Resources: Based on the forecast of an imminent disaster, it may be necessaryto stage resources in
advance, to better position them geographically for a timely response into an affected area. That decision will be
made with the concurrence of the State EDC, the ESF 4 & 9 representatives and the sponsoring Regional
Coordinator. Once that mission has been tasked, the resources shall be prepared for deployment and sent to the
identified staging area. The staging area designated must be under the direct supervision of a Staging Area
Manager, provide the necessary logistical support to accommodatethe deployed resourcesfora prolonged time
period and provide a high degree of safety and security for all deployed resources. Croce deployed to a staging
area, all resources shall be considered in "active mission' status. Staged resources will only be released into an
affected area, after confirming mission orders have been issued from the State ECC, ESF 4 & 9 representatives.
Resource Definitions
To provide standardization in deployment, specific terminology has been chosen:
Strike Tpam• Five (5) likeunits,e.g. Type 1 Engines, with common communications and an assigned Strike Team
Leader. The Leader should be in a separate vehicle for mobility and will meet with the Team at a staging area or
otherdesignated location and coordinate their response to, and efforts during, the incident.
Task Form Five (5) units, which need not be identical, e.g. three (3) Type 1 Engines and two (2) Aerials, with
common communications and an assigned Task Force Leader. The leader should be in a separate vehicle for
mobility and will meet with the team at a staging area or other designated location and coordinate their response
to, and efforts during, the incident.
Single Resource: Individual engines, equipment, personnel that may be requested to support the incident. A
single resource will be the equipment, plus the individuals requi red to properly u til ize it
The advantage of the regional configuration in the FFCA SERF is to provide effective mobilization and deployment of
resourcesin order to provide rapid assistance to areas affected by an emergency. Regions have been configured to mirror
Page 12of 58
Kathleen Finley - florida fire chiefs plan.d ( age 3
_ P1
the DEM Regions, which provides for closer coordination with DEM and enables travel by resources within any Region
to beaccomplished in an efficient manner.
Specialty Positions
Ouring an emergency there are often requests for specialty positions to fiII specific needs. For the most part these WWI be
activated and deployed as atypical single resource based on theiravailabil ity as determined by the County Coordinator.
Several key positions have their own emergency responsedeployment plans and organizational structure. The FFCA
SERP is designed to utilize their system white still maintaining the integrity of the FFCA SERP concept. Examples of
these types of positions indude Public Information Off kwsdispatchers and specialized Search and Rescue resources
Public Information Officers are tasked through the Florida Association of Public Information Officers FAPIO, a section of
the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association. Dispatchers are deployed through Association of Public Communications Officers
(APCO). Search and Rescue resources are deployed through the Florida Association for Search and Rescue (FASAR), a
section of the Florida Fire Chiefd Association
The processforadivatingthese "specialty position resourcee is listed below:
1. The FAPIO, APCO and FASAR are responsible for providing the State Coordinator the name and contact
numbersof theirspecialty position resources.
2. The State Coordinator will then notify the appropriate Regional Coordinator that they have responsibility for
coordinating requests for the specialty position.
3. When a request is received at the State EOC and a mission has been authorized, the appropriate Regional
Coordinator will contactthe State Coordinatorforthe specialty position and initiate the request.
4. The Specialty Resource Coordinator for the specialty position will identify the resource and the Regional
Coordinator will then task the request through the County Coordinator to the local agency that will be providing
the resou rce.
5. The Specialty Resource Coordinator for the specialty position will track the deployment and keep the Regional
Coordinator up to date on the status of the mission and any future needs related to the assignment.
The purpose of this system is to keep the primary tasking through the system to the County Coordinators and the local
agencies. This provided a common issuer of tasking numbers at the local I evel and will minimize confusion by agencies
being tasked.
Docurnenta ton
Once a Request For Assistance (RFA) has been received by the State EOC, and a Region has agreed to fill that request,
the Regional Coordinator must complete a "Disaster Team Deployment Form" (FFCA Form 3) and an "Emergency
Contact Form" (FFCA Form 4) and fax them to ESF4 & gat the State EOC.
The Crew Deployment Form shall contain the following information on each individual being prepared fordeployment:

Uniform Mission Tasking Numbers
Each Regional Coordinator will assure that all personnel and all equipment deployed under this plan are accounted for
prior to, during and upon returning from each mission. To assist in the accountability process, the State EOC will issue
uniform mission tasking numbers to all equipment, apparatus and personnel that aresent into an affected area or sent into
staging areas These numbers will be formatted as follows:
(Mission $) (Task ti)
FFC /018/02
It is important that theresponding units place by either signage or markerthe mission and task numberson eitherthe top

Mission Book
When resources are deployed to an affected area, the Regional Coordinator shall assure that the Strike Team Leader, or
individual if single resource, receives a Mission Book which includes the following items priorto leaving home base:
1. Copy of all ICS forms (multiple copies of ICS 214,Unit Log).
2. Emergency Contact Form,
3, Copy of all vehide/apparatusregistrations.
4. Copy of basic vehi de/apparatus inventory.

reports and any necessary emergency com muni cations).
Two copies of the Crew Deployment Form; one will remain in the possession of the Strike Team Leader, the other will be
submitted to the affected area's representative upon reporting to the staging area.
Pre -Hospital EMS Guidelines
The Florida Fire Chiefs Association and the Florida State Department of Heath, Division of Emergency Medical Services,
have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to formalize the use of the FFCA SERP to deploy pre -
hospital EMS resourcesto disaster situations. The general concept of this plan to deploy and track those resourcesis listed
below:
ao A request is received by the State EOC through the County Emergency Management System for pre -hospital EMS
resources th rough ESF 4 and 9.
ao Itisthe responsibility of the ESF 4 & 9 Officerto ensurethatcoordination is established with the ESF 8 Officer (s) to
ensure thatthe appropriate Resource is requested and deployed.
oo Upon conferring on the appropriate resource the FFCA, ESF 4 & 9 Representative will either (a) contact Regional
Coordinator(s) necemryto fill request, or (b) have the ESF 8 locate the necessary resources; if ESF 8 acquires the
resource; ESF 4 & 9 will ensure that the appropriate Regional SERP Coordinator is notified of the deployment. This
information will be passed from the Regional Coordinator to the County Coordinator.
FVe 14 of 58
Kathleen Finle - flEida fire chiefs Ian. Pa a 15
oo Upon notification from ESF4 & 9 of filling tare resource request, the EFS 8, Emergency Coordinating Officer(ECO)
shall confirm the mission and authorize payment
oo The resources are then to be deployed and tracked by the Regional Coordinator(s).
co Upon completion of the mission and return of all resources to home base, each provider is responsiblefor completing
the ESF 8 reimbursement process.
LOGISTICAL SUPPORT
Self -Contained
The logistical supportof mutual aid resources is critical in the management of an emergency effort. It is believed a tiered
resource response will be necessary. Initial units sent to an emergency should be self-contained for a period of 72 hours
or able to return home each day, unless otherwise advised by the affected jurisdiction that logistical support has been
established forthemutual aid forces. It is a fundamental assumption that this logistical support wil I be established as soon
as possible and will be maintained bythe agency requesting the resources. This shall include full structural fire, wildland
fire, and HazMat PPE (4/6104), as appropriate.
The size of the response sent to the area, the severity of the disaster, the extent of the area involved, and the! nfrastructure
that is stil I functional within the affected area, will ultimately determine the extent to which logistical support is required.

Comma n icotions
The key to the successful operation of the various resources into a Region will depend heavily upon the ability of these
agencies to communicate effectively among them. It is realisticto assume that in the wake of a majordisaster, such as a
hurricane, ftexisfing communication system in theaffecled areawill be inoperable or severely compromised. Therefore,
responding mutual aid forces must be able to communicate with each other, independent of the focal communications
nebvork. In addition, common terminology for all voice transmissions must be utilized.
It is essential that a statewide emergency communications network be established. This is perhaps the highest priority in
the effort to design an effective statewide emergency response plan. A Frequency Plan has been established and is listed
in Appendix C. The Communication Network should include thefollowing:
Page 15 of 58
Kathleen Finle - florida fire chiefs Ian. cif Page 16
1. The designation of a Statewide Communications Network (within the Statewide Emergency Management Radio
Network) using non-proprietary hardware
2. The non-proprietary hardware must have acost that most small fire agencies can afford to purchase.
3. The Networkmustmeet the eligibilityrequirementsofFCC part 90.
4. The Network must be consistent with the State of Florida EMS Communications Plan.
5. The Network should be consistent with the use of transportable communications caches available through State
Emergency Management, regional, and local government agencies.
6. The FFCA will maintain a current ist of emergency contact telephone numbers and pager numbers of the
Officers, Board of Directors, Disastercwmmittee,State, Regional, and County Coordinabrs.
7. Computer access, regionally, with Internet connection.
8. Use of dearte)d during disasterf or radio communication withall Fire Rescue resources.
9. Designate a Statewide Communications Frequency within the Statewide Emergency Management Radio
Network.
10. Facilitate the activation and response of "Incident Dispatchers".
MUTUAL AID RADIO COMMUNICATIONS UNITS (MARC)
The State Fire Marshal's Office, through a Memorandum of Understanding, provides pre -packaged radio "Mutual Aid
Radio Communications Units' (MARC Units) to the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association to be utilized for statewide
emergency response. Each of the MARC Unitswill consist of portable VHF radios, mobile VHF radios, a portable radio
tower with VHF and UHF repeaters, portable powergenerabr, and miscellaneous supplies necessary to place the MARC
Units in service. The Florida Fire Chiefs' Association, through the FFCA Emergency Response Committee, will maintain
custody of the MARC units, assure operational readiness and deploy the MARC units to disaster incidents, as required.
Each Regional Coordinator, hosting a MARC Unit, shall designate a Fire -Rescue department to act as the custodian of
that region's MARC Unit and assure the Florida Fire C hi efd Association responsibilities are carried out.
Opera bona I lea diners:
In order to assure operational readiness each hosting region will provide a suitable storage area for their designated
MARC unit and provide a tow vehicle and necessary staffing to assure operational efficiency during all deployments.
Each MARC Unit will contain an inventory booklet, which p rovi des a complete I isting of equipment, as well as set-u p and
operating instructions for the tower, repeaters and radio units. Annually, and after each deployment, the Regional
Coordinator shall complete an inventory of all equipment assigned to their MARC Unit. Copies of the annual inventory
are to be forwarded to the State Coordinator, The State Coordinator shall forward copies to the Emergency Coordinating
Officer for ESF 4 & 9. At the direction of the State Coordinator, an annual, functional test of all MARC Units shall be
completed. All performance deficiencies are to be recorded and corrective maintenance is to be completed as soon as
possible. The Regional Coordinator shall coordinate all necessary preventative maintenance and repair service with the
Florida Division of Forestry, Myakka District office and the State Fire Marshal's Office.
Deployments:
For purposes of deployment, the MARC Units are to be considered Florida Fire Chiefs' Association emergency response
resources and are only to be deployed under the provisions of this SERP. All deployments, emergency and non -
emergency, are tD be tasked with the approval of the Sate Coordinator and/or the Emergency Coordinating Officer for
ESF 4 & 9. In addition, the State Coordinator and/or the Emergency Coordinating Officerfor ESF 4 & 9 shall have final
authority to determine the appropriateness of all mission requests and the duration of all MARC Unit deployments.
Emergency Deployment:
All emergency deployments areto be coordinated through the STATE EOC and assigned a Mission Tasking number, in
accordance with the FFCA SERP. Based on the resource request, the Regional Coordinator shall assure the appropriate
personnel are deployed with the MARC Unit.
ocFulI MARC Unit deployment When deployed as a complete radio system the MARC Unit will be under the
direct supervision of a minimum of one communications technician that is trained in the set-up, use and
maintenanceof all oomponentsof thesystem. In addition, a communications unit leader may bedeployed with the
Page 16 of 58
Kathleen FlEp - florida fire chiefs Ian. d Page 17
MARC Unit to better assist the requesting agency in developing a communications plan to meet the needs of that
agency's operational plan.
ooParial MARC Unit ovment: The MARC Units may be deployed as sub -components consisting of eltherthe
mobile radio tower/repeaters or portablehnobile radio caches. While this is dependent on the mission request,
whenever deployed as oneof these sub -components, a communications technician shall accompany the unit to the
affected area. At the discretion of the Regional Coordinator and approval of the Em ergency Coordinating Offi cer
for ESF 4 & 9, the radio caches may be used to provide common communications for a region's deployed strike
team(s) or task force(s). When this occurs, the Regional Coordinator shall assure that a communications
technician p rovi des i n structi on s in the cache's use f or t he team I eader an d all team me mb ers assig ned equipment.
A mission tasking numbershail be assigned for this use, by the State EOC.
Non -Emergency Deployment:
With the approval of the State Coordinator and/or the Emergency Coordinating Cfficerfor ESF 4 & 9, MARC Units may
be approved for non -emergency use for events of regional importance, to assist in the protection of public safety.
Traditionally these events will include large gatherings of people and/or delivery of specialized Fire and Emergency
Medical Services, such as offshore boat races, outdoor concerts and special political events. Under these circumstances
the MARC units will be used to supplement an agency's existing communications systems or to provide an alternative
system to better serve the event. To secure pre -approval for these MARC Unit deployments, the requesting agency shall
submit awritten requestto the Disaster Committee Chair, out/ ining thefollowing:
ooNature of Event; To include details such as size of event, dates and time, sponsoring agency, event location,
staging areafor MARC Unit and contact person.
ooEquipment needs; Describe what portion of the MARC Unit is being requested and quantity of radios if only
requesting radio cache.
ooMission to befulfilled; describe how the MARC Unit will be utilized during the event.
aoOn Site communications support; To assure appropriate use of equipment, the requesting agency must beableto
provide trained communications technician(s) on -site, during the duration of the event. If none are available
through the requesting agency, a regi onal commu nications technician shall be deployed to set-up, demobilization
and give operating i nstructions to the requesting agency.
If the deployment is approved, the requesting agency shall be responsible forthe safe storage and transport of the MARC
Units and all costs associated with the deployment, such as disposable batteries, supplies and personnel costs (if
necessary). The State Coordinator shall assign a Florida Fire Chiefs Association tasking number for all approved, non -
emergency deployments. Once arriving on the scene of the emergency the Incident Commander, or designee, shall sign
for the receipt of the MARC Unit and assure its carefor the duration of the deployment. The Communications Technician
and/or the Communications unit Leadershall be considered a memberof theon scene Incident Management Team.
Radio Frequency Designation:
The portable radios contained within the MARC Units arecapable of 210 separate frequencies, arranged in fourteen (14)
channel groups. The mobile radios contained within the MARC Units are capable of 99 separate frequencies, arranged in
eleven (11) channel groups. Each region will be assigned a minimum of one (1) group, to serve as its operating radio
group. It is the responsibility of the Regional Coordinator to identify the `best' available VFF frequencies, from their
region, to be pre-programmed into all MARC Unit radios. Specified channels within each group have been reserved for
Statewide DOF and Mutual Aid frequencies. At least annually, all regions will update their group's radio frequencies for
inclusion in this plan and updated programming of all portables. The Designated radio groups areas follows:
Group 1: Region #1
Group 9: Reserved (Incident Only)
Group 2: Region #2
Group 10: Reserved (Incident Only)
Group 3: Region #3
Group 11: Reserved (Incident Oily)

Groups 9-12: Must be coordinated through the incident command structure, E5F 4 & 9 or local Emergency Manager.
A complete listing of each group and the pre-programmed frequencies within each group can be found in Appendix D of
this plan.
Regional Communications Personnel:
Each region shall assure that it mai ntains commu nications personnel, which are capable of maintaining, operating
and troubleshooting their assigned MARC Unit. At a minimum, each region shall assure the availability of a
communications technician and/or a communications unit leader. Detailed position descriptions can be found in the
Appendix section of this plan.

REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES
Financial Assistance
When a major or catastrophic emergency exceeds local resources and area departments are unable to fulfill fie needs of
the citizens, then aid and assistance may be requested from the State of Florida. Such financial assistance is made
available on a supplemental basis through a process of application and review. If community resources are insufficient,
thelocal government may applyto the state for state assistance. The governor reviewsthe application, studiesthe damage
estimates and, if appropriate, declares the area a state di saster. This official declaration makes state funds, personnel, and
resuu rces avai I abl e.
However, if damages are so extensive that the combined local and state resources are not sufficient, the governor applies
to the President for federal disaster assistance. A simiIarassessment of th e ap pi i catio n and damage estimates is completed.
If the need for federal assistance is justified, the President issues a major declaration and resources are made available.
This official dedaration makes federal funds, personnel, and resouroes avaiIable. Federal funding is usually on a shared
cost basis with 75% federal funds and 25% state f unds.
FEMA Reimbursement
This section serves as a reference for information on disaster cost recovery to assist individuals in documenting disaster -
related expenditures following a Presdential and/or State Declaration to facilitate reimbursement from the federal
government, the Stab of Florida and the countys private insurance carriers. This section may appear tedious and
burdensome, but it reflects FEMA's requirements and emphasizes the need fordose compliance. If the department fails to
be comprehensive, detailed, and accvrab in the type and extent of documentation, portions of the claim and possibly the
entireclaim will be disallowed, and the department will be requiredto absorb these costs.
Reimbursement Eligibility
To meet eligibility requirementsforFEMA reimbursement, an item of work must:
cc Be required as the result of the major disaster event
oo Be located within a designated disasterarea
oo Be the legal responsibility of the eligible applicant
FEMA Categories of Work
FEMA provides reimbursement of funds based on the type of disaster -related work that was performed. Each activity for
disaster -related work is eligible fora specific amount of reimbursement. Therefore it is imperative that all disaster -related
PcVe18of 56
Kathleen Finle florida fire chiefs lan.p r Page 19
work activities must be identified and documented as one of the following FEMA categories. Under the SERP, the work
most often performed under is Emergency Work: Work performed immediately to save lives and protect improved
property and public health and safety, or to avertor I essen the threat of a major disaster. Emergency Work containstwo
categories: Debris Clearance and/or Protective Measures.
Disaster -Related Expenditures
FEMA will provide reimbursement of expendituresto perform emergency protective measures in disaster -related work.
Reimbursements must be in accordance with Federal Financial Management Annex and 44 CFR, Part 206. Examples of
eligible reimbursement activities in dude, but arenot limited to:
1. Payroll expenseforpers7nnel operating atthe incident
2. Hourly cost to operate capital equipment (fire engines, rescues, etc)
3. Expendable materials used at the indden t
4. Equipment leased/purchased spedfically for the incident
5. Contracted services made necessary by the disaster
Expenses for Personnel
According to the federal regulations only actual hoursworked, either overt me hours or regular tIme hours, can be daimed
for FEMA categoryA & B (emergency work). If time and one-half or doublet! me is paid to regular hourly employees for
overtime or holiday work, these payments must be in accordance with rates established prior to thedisaster(i e. Collective
Bargaining Agreement).
On occasion, FEMA approves reimbursement for an option known as°bacidilling". If approved, thisoption would allow
the departnent to be reimbursed when personnel are called bads to work to replace an existing employee already
approved to perform disaster related activities elsewhere. Accurate payroll records must be maintained to dearly identify
the employee's overtme hours versus regular time hours. In addition, records must identify each employee by location
and purpose of the work in orderto designate the proper FEMA category and organize the claim. The records must also
include the FFCA Mission Tracking Number. It is imperative that each member of a deployed FFCA resource is
accounted for daily on an ICS 214, "Unit Log". In cooperation with the Division of State Fire Marshal and the Florida
Division of Forestry, resources deployed under the FFCA SERP will be reimbursed only for actual hours worked while
assisting the requesting agency, plus travel time to and from home base. The practice known as "portal-to-portal" pay is
not endorsed by the Fire Chiefs' Association and will not be reimbursed as a routine part of FFCA deployments.
Expenses for Equipment
Each department may be eligible for reimbursement of equipment owned by the department used in disasterwork. To
assist in the reimbursement process, FEMA hasdeveloped an equipment rate schedule. The Finance Section Chief should
obtain the most recent version of the FEMA equipment rate schedule prior to submitting for reimbursement. The current
approved FEMA rate schedule, for use in cooperation with this plan is included within this section.
Each request for reimbursementof departmentowned equipment must contain the following information:
1. Mission Tracking Number as issued by FFCA
2. Typeand description of equipment
3. Location equipment was used
4. Number of hours used each day (show dates)
5. Total hours actually used (no standby time allowed)
6. Category of work performed

Damage/Loss of Equipment
Equipment that is damaged and/or loss during disaster incidents may be eligible for reimbursement. The damage and/or
loss must be documented along with sufficient supportive documentation such as video and/or photographs. If the
documentation is not comprehensive, detailed, and accurate, portions of the claim and possibly the entire daim may be
disallowed, and the deparment will be requi red to absorb these costs.
Reimbursement Processing
Each department is responsible for preparing the necessary documentation and submitting a reimbursement daim for
resources deployed under the FFCA SERF. The County Coordinator is responsible for collecting all documentation
relative to the disaster incident from each department deployed. The County Coordinator will compile the documentation
and i dent ify eligible reimbursement in aocurdancewith current FEMA guidelines.
The County Coordinator must coordinate the collection and documentation of all disaster -related forms and supportive
documents for final review and possible submission to the Regional Coordinator. The FEMA reimbursement process is
unique to each disaster and has led to processing reimbursement funds in a different manner, creating some degree of
confusion and problems in reconciliation. Therefore coordination between the County and Regional Coordinator is
paramountto ensurefull and timely reimbursement
