ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
On August 24. 1992 Hnrricane Andrew devastated southern Dade County with the worst
natural disaster to strike the United States. The personnel of the Miami-Dade County Fire
Rescue responded rapidly aad tirelessly in assistinJ the citizens of these communities.
Numerous FirelRescue agencies from across the State of Florida and the nation assisted in
this valiant effort. It became abundantly clear from this disaster. and the ensuing relief
effort which followed, that greater coordination for inter-agency disaster management was
required.
This Plan is an effort 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-to-day incidents that continually
challenge our resources and competencies. Most importantly, it is a practical approach in
providing a useful guide to assist the fire service in manag;ng the types of devastaooD tIIat
our region is susceptible to.
This document is the culmination of a desire to sua:eed aad to improve in our mmion to
serve and protect the citizens of the state of Florida. Through the efforts and leadenlaip of
the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association and the Fire Rescue Disaster Respoase Commi~ this
document was possible. A special thanks goes to the members of the Disaster Respoase
Task Force who brought the original concept forward from an idea to a reality.

PURPOSE
This Plan shall provide for the systematic mobilization, organization, and operation of FireJRescue
resources from throughout the State and the Nation in assisting local agencies in mitigating the
effects of a disaster. The local FirelRescue agency is the tirst tier of defense in responding to the
ravages of a disaster. The primary function of FirelRescue 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 has the resources snfficient to cope with all emergencies.
Florida, with its large and rapidly growing population centers located in regions susceptible to
hurricanes. tornadoes, and flooding, accentuates the need for this level of coordination and
preparation. The effective management of emergency response personnel during the incipient stage
of any major disaster and throughout its extended operations, will, by far, have the most significant
impact on life loss and the severity of injuries to the affected population. Additionally, this Plan
lends itself to the rapid activation and response of aid to a community in the event of a localized
disaster. These events include training derailments, hazardous materials incidents, wildland tires,
domestic terrorism and other events that may overwhelm the department serving the community and
its normal mutual aid resources.
Page 4 of 51
KEY CONCEPTS OF THE PLAN
Tbe Plan is directed towards enhancing disaster management at the state, regional, and local level of
government.
l. It uses tbe Incident Management System as a model to manage actions during a disaster.
2. It provides Central Coordination for FirelRescue Resource response through Regional
Teams, via ESF 4 & 9 at the State EOC.
3. It pre-designates responsibilities for leadership and resources at the state, region, and local
levels.
4. It integrates FirelRescue into the planning and response of the current Emergency
Management system at the county and state level
5. It encourages each agency to sign the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement for Catastrophic
Disaster Response and Recovery, which would support all FirelRescue agencies responding
in support of this Plan.
Page 5 of 51
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
The emergency management structure in the state of Florida is guided by Florida Statute Chapter
252 and sets up a structure wbich bas four levels of intervention (local. county, state and federal).
The basic concept of this plan is the lowest level of government shall bave initial responsibility for
disaster response and relief, attempting to mitigate the situation witb the resources available at that
level. Requests for assistance from the next higher level of government will be made wben the
magnitude of the disaster either exceeds the resources of the local level of government or the
resources needed are not available at the local level.
Under Chapter 252, eacb county government is to operate a division of emergency management for
the purpose of coordinating disaster relief efforts in that county. Upon exhaustion of resources at the
county level. requests for State assistance will be made to the State Division of Emergency
Management (DEM). Rapid Impact Assessment Teams (RIA 1") will be sent to evaluate the damage
and the assistance needed through the State. Based on this information. the Governor may declare a
state of emergency to exist in the area, 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 responding into the
affected area.
State agencies will provide resources to local governments according to the functional responsibilities
outlined on the following page. These functions are referred to as Emergency Support Functions
(ESF). For each function, one State agency will bave primary responsibility and will provide
resources and leadersbip relating to that function.
When local and state resources are determined to be inadequate to respond to the disaster, 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 tbe United States declares an emergency or a major
disaster, federal assistance would tben be authorized to Assist State government. In Florida, DEM
bas been designated as the State agency responsible for coordinating assistance received through
federal programs.

PLAN DESIGN
Central coordination bv the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association
The coordination of the Plan. including its development. reVISion. distribution, training and
implementation is the responsibility of the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association. The Fire/Rescue
Disaster Response Committee will oversee this process. The committee will be composed of the
following:
FireiRescue Disaster Coordinator (Chair)
Regional Coordinators, one representative from each Region, totaling seven
Division of Emergency Management, one representative
Division of Forestry, one representative
Division of Emergency Medical Services, one representative
State Fire Marshal, one representative
The President of FFCA or Committee Chair can add to this membership as deemed necessary for the
success of the Plan.
Reeional Representation
The state has been divided into seven regional response zones (see Map). Within each region, the
Regional Coordinator will appoint a management team. The Regional Coordinator will lead the
management team and appoint at least one alternate for each position as coordinator.
Representatives should be geographically separate in the region, minimizing the possibility of both
persons being directly affected in the event of a disaster striking that region. The Regions are
designated 1-7 and are consistent with the DEM Regions to facilitate close coordination with State
planning and response. The Regions are as designated on the following map.

Organizational Structure and Responsibilities
The organizational structure within each Region is based OR the NatioDal Inter-Agency Incident
Management System (NlIMS), utilizing the designated roles of the Model Incident Management
System (OOS). The management team appointed by tbe Regional Coordinator shall assume one of
tbe fnnctional responsibil~ outlined on tbe following page. These include: Operations, Planning,
Logistics, and Administration. County Coordinaton must be appointed for eacb COUDty as a vital
logistical liRk from the area. Alternates for each positiOD should be appoiuted in the eveDt that the
primary penon is not available during a dbaster. Aga~ these appointmeDts sbould be
geographicaUy separate from each other in the Region. The individual departmeats shall then
muster resources for tbe Region iD support of tbe PIaL Tbe seven Regions, combiDed, comprise the
Statewide FirelRescue resource network, witb support from tbe EMS Liaiso~ whicb ultimately will
receive its direction during a disaster from the State FireIRescue Disaster Coordinator. The State
Coordinator will sit at ESF 4 & 9 in the State EOC, with the State F"U'e Manbal; coordiDating
resource response into the aff'ected Region.
Tbe ESF 4 aud 9 Function, at the State level, is managed by the State Fire ManbaI's Office. An IMS
structure, with pre-designated positions, will be established ia tbe SEOC in Tallahassee. That
support staff will consist of memben of the State Fire ManhaJ's office and memben of the FFCA.
The FFCA coonlioates resource requests, serviDg as the Logisties functiou for statewide fiRJreseue
resottrees. The FFCA also serves as an advisor to DEM and tbe State Fire Manbal's office 00
geaenl emergency management issues.
The checklist portion of tbe Plan lists the key positions and their responsibilities for activation and
implementation of the Plan. Key roles include:
State FirelRescue Disaster Coordinator: Sits at ESF 4 and 9 in the State EOC and
is responsible for tbe ovenigbt and implemeDtation of the Plan aDd direction of the
Disaster Response Committee. Two alternates are appointed to this positioL
Re2ional Fire/Rescue Disaster Coordinaton: Will command disaster assistance
operations at the Regional leveL Serves as liaison and coordinates all resources into
the aff'eded area(s) from staging areas. Appoints County Coordinaton for each county
within their region. Designates the numbers of the IMS to support the Plan at the Regional
level. May designate at least one alternate for the key memben of the IMS staff'. There are
a total of seven coordinaton, one per region, with at least one alternate per region
appointed.
.
Countv FireJRescue Coordinator: There are sixty-seven identified, one per each county.
Rural counties may identify one penon to handle several counties. County fire chief
associations, or like groups, may be contacted for a name to be submitted to the Regional
Coordinator for appointment. This position is the key liaison between the Emergency
Manager of each county and the Regional and State Coordinaton for the Plan. The County
FirelRescue Coordinator appointed by the Emergency Manager of the County should
become part of the County EOC staff that is activated during disasten. This penon shall
coordinate assistance among Fire/Rescue agencies in that county and will be the primary
contact for the regional logistics officer for resources. One alternate should be chosen for
this position.
Page 11 of 51
Onerations. PlanniDll. L02istics. Administration. P.O. and Liaison: These positions should
be filled from within the Region to support the activation and implementation of the Plan. It
is stressed that these positions are in support of the Resources to the Region, and not to
assume Command and Control of the Incident. Separate overhead IMS teams can be
activated for this reason, upon the request of the department(s) having jurisdiction for the
incident:
EMS Liaison: One (I) chosen for each Region. It is recommended that this position be filled
by someone with contact or control over the largest EMS providers. public or private. This
is to assist with coordination efforts with the State EMS office.

TRAINED COMPETENCIES
Each of the personnel appointed to a designated role within this Plan should be encouraged to
complete the phases of training, when available. These include:
Incident Mana2ement Svstem training through FFCA, NF A or 1-200 offered through the
Division of Forestry
State FirelRescue Plan Trainin2 offered through FFCA or conducted at the Regional level.
coordinated through the State Disaster Committee
Positional Trainin2 and Certification coordinated through the Division of Forestry within
each Region (1-200, basic IMS, is a pre-requisite)
lnteszrated Emel1!encv Mana2ement System available through OEM, FEMA and lAFC,
offered on a rotating basis, nationwide
Page 14 of 51
RAPID ACTIVATION
The purpose of the regional configuration of this mutual aid network is to provide rapid assistance
after the onset of a disaster. Regions have been sized ill a confIgUration that enables travel by vebicle
to any point in the Region within approximately three hoon. A Rapid Impaet Assessment Team
(RlAT) wiD be sent in by the State. A representative from ESF 4 and 9, the State Fire Marshal's
OffICe, wiD be a member of the RIA T into the affected area. Part of their mission is to determine
FirelRescoe needs and urban Search and Rescue. In addition to RlAT, advuce teams will be staged
near the affected areas. These advance teams wiD consist of members of the State Fire Marshal's
staff and may include at least one pre-designated member from FFCA. This wiD provide the State
Coordinator with a liaison into the affected area and wiD coordiJUlte with the affected County
Coordinator(s) and the Regional Coordinator.
Another source for rapid activation win be Regional Strike Teams. Each Region is encounged to
pre-determine strike teams, made up of five (5) like IIIIits, or a Task Force of five (5) mixed nits. As
stated earlier in this Plan, each team will have a leader and a sonrce of CO_OD commUDieati08s.
Their primary missio. will be rapid response to an affected area under tile three(3) hour time
window. This activatioo wiD be for those incidents which occur rapidly and which, by their very
natu~ peak rapidly and then are over within a shorter time frame. These incidents would iadude
train accidents, hazardons materials disasters, plane accidents, quick striking tornadoes, aDd swift
moving wildland fires. Quick Regional response to these types of incidents, when they stretch beyOlld
the resources of normal motual aid, will help prevent loss of lif~ severe damage to the enviro,nmellt,
or large loss of property.

PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS
Regional Coordinators and representatives on the Disaster Response Committee
from EMS, OEM, SFM. and DOF are requested by tbe State Disaster Coordinator
to $OUcit tbeir respective areas, functional leaders and alternates as to any
recommended amendments to tbe Plan. These individuals are to provide written
comments to the Chair by the Fall quarterly meeting of the FFCA.
At tbe FFCA Quarterly meeting, the State Disaster Response Coordinator, through
the Board liaison, summarizes the recommended amendments to the Plan. The
Board of Directors provides preUminary direction as to tbe scope of the proposed
cbanges and sends it back to the Disaster Response Committee for final draft.
The Disaster Response Committee provides a final draft of the Amended Disaster
Response Plan to the FFCA Executive Director for reproduction and distribution at
tbe Mid-Year Meetings. Time is allocated during the meetings for a presentation by
the Disaster Response Coordinator to discuss the scope of the amendments. At the
conclusion of this review, the president will request direction from the floor as to the
pleasure of the membership regarding the proposed amendments.
By March first, the Disaster Response Chair will submit to the FFCA Executive
Director the Final Version of the Disaster Response Plan. Any substantive changes
developed after the Mid-Year Meeting would require review and adoption by the
FFCA Board of Directors.
Page 16 of 51
LOGISTICAL SUPPORT
The logistical support of the mutual aid resources is critical in the management of a disaster
effort. It is believed a tiered resource response will be necessary. Initial units sent to a
disaster should be self-contained for a period of 72 hours or able to return bome each day,
unless otherwise advised by the affected jurisdiction that logistical support have been
established for the mutual aid forces. It is a fundamental assumption tbat this logistical
support will be established as soon as possible and will be maintained by the jurisdictions
requesting the activation of tbe Plan. The size of the resources sent to the areas, the severity
of the disaster, the extent of the land area involved, and the ability of the infrastruetnre that
is still functional within the affected area, will ultimately determine the extent to whicb
logistical support is required. Early determination of this support by the RIA T will be key
as to what, if any, of the following must be considered:
1. Transportation to and from the area:
· Staging areas, within and outside, the disaster area
. Overnight storage for vehicles
. Maps and directions for responding personnel
. Emergency towing and repairs
· Designating fuel, oil, and water depots
2. Food supplies and preparation:
· Self contained mobile food preparation units
. Personnel to prepare/distribute meals
. Sanitation and clean up
. Food supplies/utensils
3. Overnight sbelter and rehabilitation areas:
. Provide suitable (secure) overnight shelter
. Environmental considerations (rain, sunlbeat, insects)
. Bedding
. Transportation to and from shelter
. . Parking and security of apparatus
. Electricity/generator power
. Water and sanitary facilities
. Communications links (in and out oftbe disaster area)
4. Contact CISD at 1-.407-273-CISD
5. Affected worker support/assistance
Each Region's Logistics Officer will maintain an updated inventory of the its equipment,
vehicles and personnel which are available for response within the scope of the Plan. The
will review the resource inventory section for completion and submit to the County
Coordinator, who will gather the resource sheets and pass them on to the logistics officer. It
is clearly understood, as is the standard practice with all mutual aid agreements, that all
equipment, vehicles, and personnel listed will be provided within the Plan only if available
and deemed expendable at the time of the request.
Page 17 of 51
RESOURCE~NTORY
The Florida Fire Chiefs' Association Resource Typing is indicated on the next several pages.
In accordance with this typing of resources, there are blank resource forms that are to be
completed by participating departments and returned to County Coordinators. wbo, in turn,
forward them to the Logistics Officer. Examples of completed forms are included in the
Plan. Some notes for review prior to completing the forms:
1. Only include resources that might be released for service to a disaster elsewhere.
reducing your own capabilities to an acceptable risk.
2. The Types refer to minimum requirements. If all requirements are not possessed for a
Type 1, but are for a Type 2. then list it accurately as a Type 2 (Example: 1250 GPM
pumper with 500 gallons of water, meeting all other Type 1 requirements, but will be
listed as a Type 2 because it has less than 750 gallons of water).
3. Use the special information area on the Inventory list for resources that need
clarification for unusual attributes (Example: personnel tbat are bi-Iingual or sign for
the deat).
4. Use a separate list, if necessary, for additional resources not included on these resource
lists. Be specific in describing features or qualifications.
RESOURCE DEFINITIONS
Strike Team: Five (5) like units, e.g. Type 1 Engines, with common communications with 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 other designated location and coordinate tbeir
response to, and efforts during, the incident.
Task Force: Five (5) units, which need not be identification, e.g. three (3) Type 1 Engines
and two (2) Aerials, with common communications with 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.
SingJe Resource: Individual engines, equipment, personnel that may be requested to
support the incident. A single resource will be the equipment, plus the individuals required
to properly utilize it.

COMMUNICA nONS
The key to the successful operation of the various resources into a region wiD depend heavily upon
the ability of these agencies to communicate effectively among themselves. It is realistic to assume
that in the wake of a major disaster, such as a hurricane, the existing communication system in the
affected area will be inoperable or severely compromised. Therefore, responding Dlutual aid forces
must be able to communicate with each other, independent oftbe local communications network. In
addition, common terminology for allvoice transmissions must be utilized. It is essential that a
statewide disaster communications network be established. Tbis is perbaps the highest priority in
the effort to design an effective statewide disaster response plan. The Communication Network
should inclnde the following:
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 a cost that most small fire ageodes can afford to
purchase.
3. The Network must meet the eligibility requirements of FCC part 90.
4. The Network must be consistent with the State of Florida EMS Communications PIaa.
5. The Network sbould be consistent with the use oftransportable communications caches
available through State Emergency Management, regional, and local government agencies.
6. The FFCA will maintain a current list of emergency contact telepbone numbers and pager
numbers of the Officers, Board of Directors, Disaster committee, State, Region~ and
County Coordinators.
7. Computer access, regionally, with Internet connection.
8. Use of clear text during disaster for radio communication with all Fire Rescue resources.
9. Designate a Statewide Communications Frequency within the Statewide Emergency
Manag~ment Radio Network.

CITY OF OCOEE
DISASTER PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The City of Ocoee Disaster Operations Plan is a product of the City
of Ocoee, prepared to ensure the safety of the citizens of Ocoee in
times of natural and man-made disaster.
This document wi 11 continual 1 y be revised and updated to ensure
that the ever growing area is covered in these revisions.
In the following section labeled "General Notes" you will find the
class and destruction level of hurricanes. The central Florida
area has not had any major hurricanes since Hurricane Donna in the
early 1960's.
Hurricanes Hugo and Andrew were a grim reminder of how vulnerable
we are to a major storm. Should a storm of great magnitude such as
either strike a heavily populated area such as ours it could be
devastating.
Therefore, the intent of this plan is to provide the following:
1. To define in three stages the progression from minor
emergency to large scale disaster,
2 .
To define the basic operational procedures to be uti I ized
for each level of emergency; and
3.
To establish a basic system for
mobilization, and operation of all
resources in mi tigating the effects of
conditions and occurrences.
oJ:'ganization,
personnel and
all hazardous
We must perceive this plan as a personal commitment to assure the
safety of ourselves and thus assuring the safety of our citizens.

MISSION STATEMENT
The difference between an emergency and a disaster within the City
of Ocoee is directly related to the community itself. We must
consider our size, our readily available resources, the hazardous
conditions that we are most likely to encounter, and the
capabilities of our staff to deal with those hazardous conditions.
All of these factors must be considered to attain a moderate level
of preparedness.
1','
The forces of nature are certainly subject to affect this
community, but we must also remember that acts of human error and
equipment fai lure can af fect the heal th, safety, and wel fare of
this community as well.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
Paul E. Rosenthal, Esq., City Attorneyf5..11.--
July 7, 1995
Emerqency Management and Su~ervisory Authority of Mayor
FROM:
DATE:
RE:
This memorandum is in response to your request that I
advise you regarding the scope of the emergency management and
supervisory authority of the Mayor. In my opinion, the emergency
management and supervisory authority of the person holding the
office of Mayor of Ocoee is limited and primarily involves the
issuance of certain proclamations as provided by law. The
structure established by the Ocoee City Charter and Code does not
place the Mayor in an administrative chain of command. As a
result, t.he Mayor of ocoee has no'authority to be on-site during an
emergency situation, to issue any directives or orders to City
staff or to the' public or to supervise ;the activities of city staff
in an emergency. Further, the scope of what constitutes an
"emergency" is limited by law.
The City Manager, as the chief administrative officer of
the city, has primary responsibility in the event of an emergency.
T~e city Manager is required to keep the Mayor and City
commissioners informed in accordance with the ,policies established
by the City commission. -,Further, the city Manager should have open
lines of communi cat-ion with the Mayor whenever it appears that
there may be a need for the issuance of an emergency proclamation.
This does not represent ei ther an increase or decrease in the
authority of the Mayor of Ocoee. However, there are limited areas
where the City commission could delegate its authority to the
Mayor, but has not done so. Any discussion of the authority of a
Mayor would he different where the local Charter vests
administrative and supervisory authority in the person holding the
.

office of Mayor. The basis for these conclusions are set forth
below.
In connection with this memorandum, I have reviewed the
Ocoee City Charter, Ocoee city Code, City of Ocoee Disaster Plan,
Orange County Charter, Orange County Code and applicable Florida
Statutes. This review indicates that the following affect or
potentially affect the scope of tlle emergency lI1anagelllent and
supervisory authority of the Mayor:
1) section C-20, Ocoee city Charter
2}
Section C-24, Ocoee City Charter
3) Chapter 73, Ocoee City Code
(adopted by Ordinance No. 90-20)
4) City of Ocoee Disaster Plan
(adopted By Resolution 90-17)
5.} Part I of Chapter 252, Florida statutes
6)
Chapter 870, Florida statutes
7) Article IX of Chapter 2, Orange County Code
Except for the Disaster Plan, copies of the above-referenced
documents are enclosed.
The scope of the emergency management authority of the
person holding the office of Mayor of Ocoee is limited. The Hayor
has no inherent emerqency maDaqemen~ or supervisory powers by
virtue of such office. Any authority of the Mayor to declare a
state of emergency or act during an emergency situation must be
based upon a duly enacted law, ordinance or pOlicy. :In order tor
the 'Mayor to take any action there lI1ust first be an "emergency" and
s~ond be a delegation of authority to the Mayor to act in sU9h
emergency. Florida statutes, the Ocoee City Charter and the Ocoee
city Code restrict the ~es of circumstances which constitute an
emergency.
The City Charter provides that the Mayor is the "head of
the city government for all eeremonial purposes . . . but shall
have no regular administrative duties". [See Section C-20, Ocoee
ci ty Charter. J An indirect def ini tion of an emergency and a
discussion of ,emergency powers are set forth in Section C-20 of the
Charter which provides as follows:
.
.
'.
.
.
'---
'-./
Ellis shapiro, city Manager
July 7, 1995
Page 3
UIn time of insurrection, general conflagrations,
catastrophe or great or widespread public emergency, the
Mayor shall be become the head of the goverIllllen~ and
shall exercise those powers deleqa~ed to the Kavor under
the laws of Florida." [EII1phasis Added]
The above-referenced Charter provision does not grant any eJnergency
managelt1ent powers to the Mayor I but -. does provide circumstances
under which emergency powers may be delegated to the Mayor "under
the laws of Florida". In the absence Of such a delegation or an
express provision of Florida law, the Mayor has no powers to
declare an emergency or take any action in connection with an
~merqency situation.
Section C-20 of the Ocoee City Charter also designates
the Mayor as "the head of the government" under certain emergency
circumstances. The Charter does not specify any powers of the
Mayor under such circumstances other than those delegated to the
Mayor under the laws of Florida. In lIlY opinion, the powers of the
Mayor as head of govermn'ent under such circumstances would be those
powers delegated to the Mayor under the laws of Florida. Further,
the City should look to the laws and ordinances containing such
delegations for a definition of "emergency".
In the eveht of a state of emergency or in the further
event that the Hayor would become the "head of the qoVermnellt..
pursuant to the City Charter, it is lilY opinion that the City
Manager would remain the chief administrative officer of ~he City
who woulcl'be responsi]:)le for the administration of all City affairs
for which the city Manager is given responsibility under the City
Charter. (See section C-24, Ocoee City Charter. J The "head of
government" designation would not supersede powers directly granted
to the city Manager.
. Chapter 73 of the Ocoee City Code is the only local
provision which delegates certain authority to the Mayor to declare
"t:he existence of a state of emergency" within the city or any part
or parts thereof and to invoke certain prohibitions as determined
appropriate by the Mayol:.. An "emergency" is defined as follows:
"Any occurrence ,or threat thereof, whether
accidental, natural or caused by man, in war or in peace,
which results or may result in substantial injury or harm
to the population or substantial damage to or loss of
property."
The procedure for the Mayor to declare a, state of emergency
involves the issuance of a written proclamation which is filed with

Notification to the media is also required. section 73-4 of the
city Code set forth those subjects which may be addressed in such'
a proclamation. The subjects primarily deal witli automatic
prohibitions with respect to the display and sale of weapons,
discretionary prohibitions with respect to the sale of alcoholic
beverages and flammable liquids, and the option to impose curfews
and restrict public congregations. -. Authority with respect to
closing of public parks, price gouging and confiscation is also
granted to the Mayor. The provisions of Chapter 73 must be
strictly followed in order to exercise the powers granted
thereunder.
- While Chapter ,73 authorizes the Mayor to proclaim a state
of emergency, it does not grant to the Mayor any administrative or
sup'ervisory authority with respect to the enforcement of the
proclamation. . It would be the responsibility of the city Hanager
to see to the enforcement of the terms of the proclamation. Any
such state of emergency declared by the Mayor cannot extend for
more than 72 hours and maybe cancelled or further extended by the
city Commission. The City Commission also has the authority to
declare a state of emergency, but the city Manager does not have
such authority. It would appear to be the responsibility of the
ci ty Manager to notify the Mayor when there is a need for an
emergency proclamation.
Pursuant to Resolution NO. 90-17, the City Commission has
adopted the city of Ocoee Disaster Plan. A review of this Plan
indicates" that it does not confer any emergency or supervisory
authority on the Mayor beyond the 'authority set forth in city Code
Chapter 73. The Plan sp~cifies that the city Manager will be in
command of the city Emergency Operatio~s Center. The City Manager
is also responsible for accumulating and disseminating information
to the public regarding the emergency. pursuant to recent action
of tpe City Commission, the city Manager is also responsib1e for
keeping the Mayor and city COllllllissioners informed during an
e1t\rrgency.
Chapter 870, Florida statutes, addresses affrays, riots,
routs and unlawful. as,semIHies and authorizes the City Commission to
designate by ordinance a city official empowered to declare a state
of emergency and exercise the emergency powers conferred
thereunder. In the absence of such a designation, the Chief of
Police is the designated city official to exercise such powers.
The provisions of city Code Chapter 73 are similar (and in some
cases identical) to the provisions of Florida statutes Chapter 870;
however, the Mayor has not been expressl.y aut~orized to declare a
state of emerqency under the provisions of Chapter 870. In order

to eliminate any potential for conflict it may be desirable to
adopt an ordinance which expressly authorizes the Mayor to exercise
the emergency powers conferred in Chapter 870. Please note that.
this would not confer any administrative or supervisort authority
on the Mayor.
Sec~ion 870.04, Florida sta~u~es, au~horize8 the Hayor
and any city commissioner ~o order t~e peaceable disbursement of
any unlawfully, riotously or tumul tuously assembled qroup of
persons, whether armed or not, and upon failure to disburse to
command the assistance of persons in seiZing, arresting and
securing such persons in custody. Please note that the
determination as to whether persons are unlawfully, riotously or
tumultuously assembled lIlust be _.made in accordance with Florida
Statutes. This provision is self-executing and does not need to be
implemented by an ordinance.
Chapter 252, Florida statutes, contains a definition of
emergency which is similar to the Ocoee City Code. It includes
natural; technological ,and manmade emergencies and provides a
definition for each. The Orange county Commission has designated
the County Chairman as the Director of Emergency Management
authorized to issue an executive order declaring a state of
emergency pursuant to the provisions of Section 252.38(3) (a) (5),
Florida Statutes. The delegation 'to the County Chairman is broader
than the delegation to the Mayor under Chapter 73 of the Ocoee City
Code. The Ocoee city commission is also authorized })y Section
252.38(3) (a) (5), Florida statutes, to make a similar deleqation of
authori ty" but has not elected to do so. In the absence of a
delegation of authority, it is my opinion that only the City
commission may exercise the emergency authority under section
2S2.38(3l(~), Florida statutes. It s~ould be noted that in the
event the County Chairman is incapacitated, then the order of
succession is to County staff members and not to members of the
County commission.
. Except as set forth herein I am not aware of any other
pr6visions of law which grant any authority to the Mayor in the
event of a state of emergency.
If I can provide you with any additional information,
please let me know.

Legislative intent. -
(1) The Legislature finds and declares that the state is
vulnerable to a wide range of emergencies, including
n a t u r aI, t e c h no log i c aI, and ma nma d e d i s as t e r s, a 11 0 f
which threaten the life, health, and safety of its
people; damage and destroy property; disrupt services and
everyday business and recreational activities; and impede
economic growth and development. The Legislature further
finds that this vulnerability is exacerbated by the
tremendous growth in the state's population, especially
the growth in the number of persons residing in coastal
areas, in the elderly population, in the number of
seasonal vacationers, and in the number of persons with
special needs. This growth has greatly complicated the
state's ability to coordinate its emergency management
resources and activities.
(2) It is the intent of the Legislature to reduce the
vulnerability of the people and property of this state;
to prepare for efficient evacuation and shelter of
threatened or affected persons; to provide for the rapid
and orderly provisions of relief to persons and for the
restoration of services and property; and to provide for
the coordination of activities relating to emergency
preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation among
and between agencies and officials of this state, with
similar agencies and officials of other states, with
local and federal governments, with interstate
organizations, and with the private sector.
(3) It is further the intent of the Legislature to promote
the state's emergency preparedness, response,
recovery,and mitigation capabilities through enhanced
coordination, long-term planning, and adequate funding.
State policy for responding to disasters is to support
local emergency response efforts. In the case of a major
or catastrophic disaster, however, the needs of residents
and communities will likely be greater than local
254
.
.
.
.
.
252.32
resources. In these situations, the state must be
capable of providing effective, coordinated, and timely
support to communities and the public. Therefore, the
Legislature hereby determines and declares that the
provisions of this act fulfill an important state
interest.
History. - s. 8, ch,93-211.
Policy and purpose. -
(1) Because of the existing and continuing possibility of the
occurrence of emergencies and disasters resulting from
natural, technological, or manmade causes; in order to
ensure that preparations of this state will be adequate
to deal with, reduce vulnerability to, and recover from
such emergencies and disasters; to provide for the common
defense and to protect the public peace, health, and
safety; and to preserve the lives and property of the
people of the state, it is hereby found and declared to
be necessary;
(a) To create a state emergency management agency to be
known as the "Division of Emergency Management," to
authorize the creation of local organizations for
emergency management in the political subdivisions
of the state, and to authorize cooperation with the
Federal Government and the governments of other
states.
(b) To confer upon the Governor, the Division of
Emergency Management, and the governing body of
each political subdivision of the state the
emergency powers provided herein.
(c) To provide for the rendering of mutual aid among
the political subdivisions of the state, with other
states, and with the Federal Government with
respect to and carrying out all emergency
management functions responsibilities.
(d) To authorize the establishment of such
organizations and the development and employment of
such measures as are necessary and appropriate to
carry out the provisions of SSe 252.31-252.91.
(e) To rrovide the means to assist in the prevention or
mitigation of emergencies which may be caused or
aggravated by inadequate planning for, and
regulation of, public and private facilities and
land use.
(2) It is further declared to be the purpose of SSe 252.31-
252.91 and the policy of the state that all emergency
manageme~t functions of the state be coordinated to the
maximum extent with comparable functions of the Federal
255
.
.

Government, including its various departments, agencies
of other states and localities, and private agencies of
every type, to the end that the most effective

emergencies. At his direction and pursuant to any other
authority and competence they have, state agencies,
including, but not limited to, those charged with
responsibilities in connection with flood plain
management, stream encroachment and flow regulation,
we at her mo d i f i cat ion, fir e pre v e n t ion and con t r 0 l, air

substantially to the magnitude of the emergency; and that
changes in zoning regulations, other land use
regulations, or building requirements are essential in
order to further the purposes of this section, it shall
specify the essential changes to the Governor. If the
Governor upon review of the recommendation finds after
public hearing that changes are essential, he shall so
recommend to the agencies or political subdivisions with
j u r i s d i c t ion 0 v e r the are a and sub j e c t ma t t e r . I f no
action, or insufficient action, pursuant to his

.
.
.
.
.
During such time as actual hurricane conditions exist, every
attempt will be made to continue our primary mission of protectin~
lives and property in the City of Ocoee. It should be remembered
however, that Fire-Rescue personnel are subject to the same
environmental limitations as are members of the public.
1. Discontinuation of Response (NO RESPONSE)
A.
The Fire Chief or the Assistant Fire Chief shall
determine when the department will cease responding
to calls due to the severity of the storm. This
decision will then be announced by radio as a "NO
RESPONSE ORDER". Prior to this announcement, the
unit officer who feels that situations encountered
are sufficiently dangerous to personnel at his/her
location, may choose to cease operations and return
to quarters but must advise the E.O.C. Unit
Officers who feel the need to continue operations
past the announcement must justify this decision
through the Fire Chief or the Assistant Fire Chief
and receive permission to continue their current
task.
B. The following guidelines may be used to determine
when apparatus should be pI aced in non-response
mode during storm condition:
1.
RESCUE unit operations will be terminated when
sustained winds of 50 mph exist or local
conditions dictate unsafe conditions
(localized flooding, downed wires, etc.)
2. SUPPRESSION uni ts operations will be
terminated when sustained winds of greater
than 60 mph exist or local conditions dictate
unsafe conditions (localized flooding, downed
wires, etc.)
2. Hurricane Eye Operations
Operations during the eye of the hurricane should concern
themselves primarily with resecuring the fire station, if
necessary, and assisting citizens who come to the fire station
when it would be a danger to release them. All such
activities during the hurricane eye shall be undertaken only
if such operations can be completed in a safe manner. The
safety of department personnel will remain the primary
consideration during these operations.
Page 2 of 5
FIRE STATIONS AS DONATION SITES
.
Fire stations will not be designated as a food or other donation
si te, except by the order of the Fire chief. The receipt of
excessive food or other donations at fire stations may render the
station unusable for operation activities.
.
RESPONSE OPERATIONS
Resuming Operations (RESUME RESPONSE)
The Fire Chief or the Assistant Fire Chief shall make a
determination of when the department can resume response
operations. This decision will then be announced as a RESUME
RESPONSE order. Unit Officers who believe it is safe to resume
operations prior to this announcement shall contact the Fire Chief
or the Assistant Fire Chief and state the conditions at their
location and their need to begin operations. They will be
authorized to respond only upon approval. If unable to contact the
Fire Chief or the Assistant Fire Chief the decision to approve such
operation will rest with the Unit Officer. Activities shall be
undertaken only if such operations can be completed in a safe
manner.
SAFETY & HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
-
Personnel conducting emergency operations must realize that their
own safety and well-being is their first priority. Many hazards
. will be encountered during the first 72 hours after a hurricane.
These include, (but not limited to):
wires down

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COORDINATOR (D. P. C. )
This is the person designated by the Chief as the point of contact
for the Police Department to initiate either Plan A, Plan B, or
opening of the agency's Emergency Operations Center.
CITY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (E.O.C.)
The place where the City Manager, City Elected Official and City
Executives report in the event of a hurricane. The Police
Department is the current facility for the E.O.C.
SHELTER SECURITY
The personnel assigned are responsible for providing the security
needs of the opened public shelter.
These personnel will be required to monitor the number of evacuees
at the shelter. When the shelter is approximately three quarters
full, the officer at the shelter in question will contact the
Operations Commander at the E. o. C. and advise of the evacuee
capacity. At this point the Commander will make the decision as to
when to direct evacuation traffic to the next shelter.
Plan A is to be implemented duri.ng the evacuation of Florida's east
or west coast communities. The thrust of the plan deals with a
high volume of traffic and the opening of several shelters through
out the County. The second, (Plan B) deals with the preparations
necessary for the City to handle a direct strike by a hurricane.
Plan A would require a limited number od officers to be called in
to handle the traffic and if needed shelter security. In the event
of a protracted influx of evacuees, it would become necessary to
relieve those officers involved with traffic control and shelter
security.
Traffic Operations Plans for Coastal Evacuations
The Ocoee Police Department working in conjunction with other
agencies within the Orange County area have complied the traffic
operations plan. The purpose of this plan is to deal with the
influx of coastal evacuees into the Orange County area due to the
threat of a hurricane making landfall somewhere within the state.
The expected number of evacuees and accompanying vehicular traffic
will be based largely on the track of the hurricane.
The County E.O.C. will be established to facilitate the
implementation of this plan. In addition to the County"s E.O.C.
personnel the Orlando Police Department and the Ocoee Police
Department should have personnel present to coordinate with for the
duration of the operation.
The traffic plan calls for shelters to be opened in a specific
order based on the projected traffic flow of evacuees. The plan is
broken down by primary, secondary, tertiary, and overflow shelter
openings. Refer to the following listed Annex in relation to which
school/shelter is in operation for specific route information.

COMMAND PROCEDURES
GENERAL PURPOSE
I.
PURPOSE
A.
The effective functioning of Fire Division units and
personnel at operating incidents require clear decisive
action on the part of an Incident Commander. This
procedure identifies the Standard Operating Procedures to
be employed in establ ishing Command and operating a
Command Post. It also fixes responsibility for the
command function and its associated duties on one
individual at any time during the operation.
B. The Incident Commander is responsible for the command
function at all times. As the identity of the Incident
Commander changes, through transfers of command, this
responsibility shifts with the title. The term Command
in this procedure refers jointly to both the person and
the function.
C. Command Procedures are designed to accomplish the
following:
1.
Fix the responsibi I i ty for command on a certain
individual through a standard identification system
depending on the arrival sequence of members,
companies and officers.
2 .
Establish
activities
Command.
an effective framework
and responsibilities

the

3. Insure that strong, di rect and visibl e Command' wi II
be established as early as possible in the
operations.
4. Provide a system for the orderly transfer of
Command to subsequent arriving officers.
II. RESPONSIBILITY
A.
Responsibilities assigned to
following specific outcomes:
Command include
the
1. Provide for the safety and survival of personnel.
2,
Remove endangered persons and treat the injured.
3 .
Eliminate and/or mitigate the damaging or injurious
effects of the incident on persons and property.
.
.
.
.
.
COMMAND PROCEDURES
ESTABLISHING COMMAND
I.
PURPOSE
A.
The first Fire/Rescue Division unit arriving at the scene
of a multi-unit response shall establish Command and
remain in Command unti 1 reI ieved by a higher ranking
officer or until the incident is terminated.
II. INITIAL REPORT
A. The person establishing Command shall transmit a brief
initial report including:
1. Unit identification and confirming establishment of
Command
2. Unit identification on the scene with initial
report to include property description (number of
stories, type of construction and occupancy).
3 .
Observable conditions (smoke
accident w/injuries, etc.).
3-car
showing,
B.
The terminology used in making the report shall be in
accordance with the Communications Center's procedures.
III. RADIO DESIGNATION
A. The terminol ogy "Command" wi II be used wi th a bri ef
description of the incident location, i.e., "7th Avenue
Command", "Holiday Inn Command".
IV. RESPONSE CARDS/WORKSHEETS
A. To facilitate assumption of Command, all officers
responding on multiple unit assignments will record the
following information on a standard response card.
1. Address of alarm
2. Proper radio channel
3. Responding units
B.
At working incidents, Command will make every effort to
use a tactical worksheet to outline and record response,
assignments and other pertinent data to assist in
efficient scene management and orderly transfer of
Command.
.
.
.
.
.
C.
All units responalng to multiple unit responses will
follow standard Company Operations and Staging Procedures
to support Command.
D.
Command procedures are designed to offer a practical
framework for field operations and to effectively
integrate the efforts of all members, officers and
companies. The time invol ved in performing the functions
listed herein at the beginning of a tactical operation
should produce ongoing time saving in the form of a more
effective rescue and fire control outcome. An arriving
officer assuming Command can quickly and efficiently
perform the standard procedures if they are well known.
This will facilitate an organized and orderly tactical
operation and more effective effort. This is
particularly important in more complex situations and
when Command must be transferred to ranking officers.

PURPOSE
A.
The first arriving unit is responsible for the following
tasks as required by the circumstances of the situation
within their judgement.
II. INITIAL
A. Establish an effective Command position.
B. Rapidly evaluate the situation (initial size up).
C. Develop initial plan of action.
1. Evaluate your responding resources.
2. Advise the responding officer of the situation and
request additional units or cancel units, as
needed.
3. Assign unit their tasks or positions as required to
be consistent wi th the staging procedures being
used, if possible.
D.
Announce initial activity (laying preconnect to interior,
covering exposures, setting up medical sector, rescue of
victims. etc.).
III. CONTINUING
A. Command or the company officer in charge should provide
the following throughout the alarm:
1. Provide situation reports after size up indicating:
(1) Type of incident and additional pertinent
information, if required.
(2) Area of involvement and/or potential
involvement.
(3)

(6) Current activity update.
B.
Provide continuing overall progress reports on the status
of the operations, as required.
C. Assign Sectors as requi red and consistent wi th
sectorization procedures. If support sectors are not

COMMAND OPTIONS FOR COMPANY OFFICERS
I.
PURPOSE
A.
In cases where the initial officer is the Command
Officer, their efforts should automatically be directed
towards establishing Command and fulfilling the listed
responsibilities.
B. The initial arriving company officer must decide on an
appropriate commitment for themself and their company.
This will usually fall into one of two general modes as
defined below.
1. Investiqation Mode: This situation generally
requires investigation by the first arriving
company. Level I Staging is ini tiated in these
instances. Normally, the company officer can go
with their company to check the situations while
utilizing the portable radio to report to the
responding Chief of the situation.
2 .
Immediate Action Mode: Situations which require
quick action to stabilize the situation such as
interior fires in residences, apartments or small
commercial occupancies, some hazardous materials
incidents and severe accidents with victims and/or
entrapment require that the company officer quickly
decide how to commit their company.

3. Transfer of Command is discretionary for the Fire
Chief.
4.
In cases where the existing Command is effectively
handling the command function, it may be desirous
for that officer to continue in the command role.
Command will be considered to be transferred within
this context by the ranking officer establishing a
subordinate role at the scene, or removing
themsel ves from active participation in the
incident.
5. Wi thin the Chain of Command indicated above, the
actual transfer of command will be regulated by the
following procedures:
a. Arriving ranking officers establishing Command
will communicate with the officer being
relieved by radio or preferably, face to face
upon arrival.
b.
The officer being relieved will brief

(4) The officer being relieved should review
the tactical control sheet with the
ranking of fi cer in comp I ex si tua ti ons;
this sheet provides the most effective
framework for Command transfer as it
outlines the location and status of
resources in a standard form that should
be well known to all members.
V. COMMUNICATION
A. Command officers should eliminate all unnecessary radio
traffic while responding unless such communications are
required to insure that Command functions are initiated
and completed.
B. The arrival of a ranking officer at the incident scene
(in i tsel f) does not mean Command has been transferred to
that officer. Command is transferred only when the
outlined communication functions have been completed.
C.
The response and arrival of ranking officers at the
incident scene should only strengthen the overall command
function. All officers should exercise thei r Command
prerogatives in a supportive manner and in accordance
with SOPs. This will ensure a smooth transition and an
effective on going function of Command.
D. The officer relieved of Command will be utilized to the
best advantage by the officer assuming Command.

,
It will be the responsibility of Command to develop an
organizational structure utilizing standard operating procedures as
soon as possibl e after arrival and impl ementation of ini tial
tactical control measures. The size and complexity of the
organizational structure, obviously, will be determined by the
dimensions of the particular tactical situation.
The ideal structure of a complex incident should include four (4)
levels:

Command refers to those functions necessary for overall control and
accomplishment of strategic objectives. The Command level should
be staffed by the highest ranking Operations Division officers who
will plan overall strategy; develop an adequate and effective
command structure and fireground organization and provide the
necessary support to meet these objectives.
.
Operations refers to those organizational elements in situations
that are complex enough to require an intermediate, or control
level, in the organizational structure. Operations is an optional
level which may be implemented when Command finds it necessary to
group sectors together to lessen Command's span of control.
Generall y, operations el ements wi II assume command of several
sectors and will answer to "Command". This level should be staffed
by experienced command officers, usually of Assistant Operations or
Battalicn Chief level who plan and control the functions of several
sectors.
.
PAGE 11 OF 25

.
Sectors are identified as the immediate tactical level of command
in the organizational structure. Sectors are commanded by
Battalion Chiefs or company level supervisors who concentrate on
the more specific areas and tasks needed to meet the overall
opera ti onal ob jecti ves . Generall y , several compani es wi 11 be
assigned to each Sector wi th the Sector Commander answering to
Operations or, if the operations level has not been established,
answering directly to Command.
The task level in the organizational structure refers to those
evolution-oriented functions or company level operations and
individual accomplishments which, when accumulated, add up to the
achievement of sector objectives. These are company functions with
the company officer answering to the Sector Commander.
Some examples of the organization structure in these instances

COMMAND PROCEDURES
COMMAND STRUCTURES
In order to provide the Command resource for an effective tactical
organization as soon as possible, the Incident Commander can order
the response of all available on-duty Battalion Chiefs to
incidents. The Assistant Chief on duty shall be responsible for
the establishment of a resource sector on all second alarms or
greater incidents.
In designated incidents where the Captain and other Administrative
persons are called to respond, they will either assume Command or
take assignments in sector roles, as needed.
In all cases, the Incident Commander remalns in overall command
until command is properly transferred.
All other persons responding to an incident including off-duty
employees, vol unteers, and 40 hour employees shall, upon their
arrival at the scene, report to the Command Post and inform the
Incident Commander or designated sector command of their
"avai 1 abi I i ty for duty status". In cases of I arger or more comp lex
incidents a 'personnel pool' sector may be established and arrival
of persons on the scene can report to it for assignment.
When persons with specific tasks or responsibilities to perform
such as Fire Loss Management, Training, or Maintenance arrive on
the scene they should report to the Command Post, explain their
functions and proceed when gi ven the cl earance by the proper
authority.
If persons arrive only to observe, they should remain in back of
the lines and not be on the scene.
All incidents differ and exact guidelines cannot be written for all
circumstances at an incident scene. But keep in mind that one of
the purposes of the "Command" structure is to provide control and
not allow un-assigned persons to wander about the scene. To allow
this to occur is an invitation to confusion, inefficiency and
accidents. We invite and encourage help and participation, but it
must be organized and controlled.

SECTORIZATION
BASIC OPERATION
Sectorization describes a standard system of dividing an incident
scene into small er tactical uni ts or areas. It al so provides
organization and responsibi I i ty for support functions. These
divisions are called "Sectors".
Compl ex si tuations soon exceed the capaci ty of one officer to
effectively manage the entire operation. Sectors reduce the span
of control to more manageable (sized) units. Sectorization allows
Command to communicate principal I y wi th sector officers rather than
each company or uni t officer. This provides for an effective
command structure and incident scene organization.
Sector procedures provide a system for Command to divide large
scale operations into more effective sized areas. These are
tactical sectors and are responsible for the operations involving
a manageable number of personnel.
Sector procedures also provide for an array of major functions
which may be selectively implemented according to the needs of a
particular incident. These are support sectors and places the
responsibility for the details and execution of that function on a
sector officer, removing them from Command's attention.
When effective sectors have been established, Command can
concentrate on overall strategy and resource allocation. Each
sector officer is responsible for the tactical deployment of the
resources at their disposal and for communication needs and
progress to Command. Command determines strategic objectives and
assigns available resources to sectors where they are most needed.
Sectorization reduces the overall amount of fire ground radio
communication. Most routine communication is conducted inside the
sector in a more effective face to face mode between the fire
companies and their sector officer. This process eliminates many
of the details of company operations from radio communications.
Safety of personnel represent a major reason for sectorization.
Each sector commander must maintain the capability to communicate
with forces under their command so that they can control both the
position and function of their companies.
Often at an incident, Command will find, when assigning companies
to sectors, that the company may only be comprised of 1 or 2
personnel, the other members having been given other assignments,
etc. Many times we must combine companies, add to companies with
staf f or reserve peopl e, or make up new "tacti cal :lni ts" f rom a
personnel pool. The important thing to remember when doing this is
that each company or unit assigned a sector or task, must have an
officer or supervisor in charge. Just as Command is responsible
PAGE 15 OF 25
.
for knowing what sectors they have assigned and their make up, the
company officer or unit officer or supervisor must know how many
persons are assigned to their unit and, if possible, their names.
COMMAND SHOULD BEGIN TO ASSIGN SECTORS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING
FACTORS:
.
When command forecasts a situation which will eventually involve a
number of companies beyond their capability to directly control.
(In such cases, earl y recogni tion and sector assignments are
critical).
When command can no longer effectively cope with the number of
companies currently involved in the operations.
Situation is such that close company control

marginal offensive situations, etc.
of required;
fire load,
Situations that demand support functions, that Command cannot or
should not have time to effectively manage the details, these would
include, but not be limited to, water supply, safety,
rehabilitation, air supply, public information, evacuation, agency
liaison, etc.
SECTORS WILL BE REGULATED BY THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
. It will be the ongoing responsibility of Command to assign sectors
as required for effective incident scene management and operations.
This responsibi I i ty wi II pertain to both tacti cal and support
sectorization. If Command does not assign the sector need, it will
be assumed that command maintains the responsibi I i ty for that
function.
The number of companies or persons assigned to a sector will depend
upon existing conditions. In a fire condition, 3 to 5 companies or
units represent the ideal span of control. Command will maintain
an awareness of the number of companies or units operating within
a tactical sector.
Sectors assigned to specific operating areas will be designated by
directions (east sector, north sector, etc.). In some cases,
landmarks may provide better designations for operating sectors.
(Roof sectors, interior sector). In high rise fires, sectors will
usually be indicated by floor numbers (section 12 indicates the
12th floor).
.
Support of functional sectors will be identified by the function it
serves ( water, P. I .0., personnel, etc.). These sectors, of course,
will also have an officer or person in charge and operate under the
same guidelines as the tactical sectors.

use the sector designation 1n radio
Sectors will be commanded by a sector officer and such officers can
be chief officers, company officers, or any other fire department
member designated by Command.
In some cases, a sector officer will be assigned to an
area/function initially to evaluate and report conditions and will
advise Command of needed tasks and resources. A sector officer may
also be designated during the course of on-going operations. They
wi 11 receive an assignment and missi on from Command along wi th
assigned resources. They will then proceed to their sector,
evaluate conditions and assume Command.
In many cases, the initial sector assignment will be given to a
company officer who receives the ini tial assignment to a basic
tactical posi tion or function. Command wi II indicate to these
officers that they will be operating as both sector command and as
an operating company or unit. Command will, in such cases, assign
command officers to relieve the company officers as sector commands
as soon as possible. Regular command transfer procedures will be
followed in transferring secto~ commands.
When companies or uni ts are assigned to a sector, they must
remember that they report to thei r sector command and they are
responsible for their status and condition. Communications must be
maintained between operating units or companies and their sector
command. If Command elects not to assiqn a company or unit to a
sector, Command retains the responsibility for their status,
condition and effectiveness.
This early establishment of sectors provides an effective framework
on which the operation can be built.
Sector officers will be in command and control of all assigned
functions within their sector. In accomplishing this, they will be
responsible for the following:
A. Monitor work progress
B. Redirect activities as necessary
C. Coordinate with related activities
D. Monitor welfare of sector personnel
E. Request additional resources, as needed
F. Communicate with Command, as necessary
G. Reallocate resources within their sector
Sector officers will keep Command informed of conditions in the
sector through regular progress reports. They will advise Command
immediately of significant changes in conditions in their sector,
particularly those involving the ability or inability to complete
mission, hazardous conditions, accidents, collapse, etc. Command
PAGE 17 OF 25

.
all oca tes overall resource to sectors and depends upon sector
officers to advise on the resource required within that sector.
When a company or unit is assigned from staging to an operating
sector, they wi II be told to what sector and which officer to
report. The sector command wi II al so be informed as to which
companies or units have been assigned them. It is then the
responsibility of the sector officer to contact the company by
radio if any instructions are needed.
Sector officers must be sufficiently mobile to be able to supervise
the work of their assigned companies. This may mean actually going
into interior operating positions to monitor progress while
maintaining radio communications. The sector officer should be
readily identifiable and maintain a visible position as much as
possible, but this does not mean that they must stay from operating
positions.
The primary function of the company officer working within a sector
is to direct the operations of their crew in performing assigned
tasks. Company officers will advise their sector officer of work
progress and if a company officer determines they need assistance
on assigned work tasks, the company officer wi II request such
assistance from the sector officer.
Companies assigned to a sector will direct routine communications
to their sector officer and should utilize non-radio modes whenever
possible. This does not preclude the use of radio communications
within sectors. Sector officers will conduct radio communications
with Command and with other sector officers. (This procedure will
apply only to routine communications - "EMERGENCY TRAFFIC" may be
initiated by anyone at any time).
Command can assign sectors to perform standard tactical and support
functions on an "as needed" basis. Some examples of these sectors
are:
Fire Fighting (geographic, tactical)
Staging (Level II)
Water Supply
Medical
Salvage and Overhaul
Evacuation
Safety
Support/Resource
Hazardous Material
utilities
Public Information
Rehabilitation
Personnel
Liaisons (with other agencies)
Crowd/Traffic Control
Reconnaissance
PAGE 18 OF 25
.
.
.
.
.
In addition to these standard sector functions, Command can set up
special sectors to perform any other special functions as required
by the situation.
As an incident is brought under control, sectors can be terminated.
When this occurs, the persons, companies or units in that sector
should be notified and reassigned.
PAGE 19 OF 25
.
STAGING
GENERAL PURPOSE
The objective of the Staging procedure is to provide a standard
system of initial placement for responding apparatus, personnel and
equipment prior to assignment at tactical incidents.
. Effective utilization of this procedure will:
Prevent excessive apparatus congestion at the scene.
Allow time for Command to evaluate conditions prior to
assigning companies.
Place apparatus in an uncommitted location close to the
immediate scene to facilitate more effective assignments by
Command.
Produce more effective communications by virtue of reducing
radio traffic during the critical initial stages of
operations.
Allow Command to formulate and implement a plan without undue
confusion and pressure.
Staging will involve two levels: LEVEL I and LEVEL II.
.
.
.
PAGE 20 OF 25
.
.
.
.
.
LEVEL I
This procedure will automatically apply to all multiple unit
responses over the standard first alarm assignment of 2 engines, 1
truck, 1 rescue.
The first engine company responding directly to the scene
and operating to best advantage.
B. The first truck company responding directly to the scene
and placing the apparatus t.o best advantage, generally at
the front of the building.
A.
C. The first rescue unit responding directly to the scene
and place the apparatus in a location that will provide
maximum access for medical/rescue support and not impede
the movement of other units.
D. The second arri ving engine company responding to the
nearest fire hydrant (if in an area covered by hydrants)
in preparation of laying a supply line into the scene
and/or supplying sprinkler/standpipe system; or, upon the
order, "come in for manpower" proceeding to a tactically
advantageous position at the scene.
All other units (regardless of alarm) will stage in their direction
of travel, uncommitted, approximately one block from the scene
until assigned by Command a position at the scene. The stage area
should provide for maximumization of tactical options with regard
to access, direction of travel, water supply, etc. All engine
companies will check map books and reference the immediate fire
area.
staged companies or uni ts wi ll, in normal response si tuations,
report company designation, standing by and their direction
("Engine 25 standing by South"); it may be necessary to be more
specific when reporting standby positions in extraordinary response
situations. An acknowledgement is not necessary from either the
Communications Center or Command. Staged companies will stay off
the air until orders are received from Command, unless they become
forgotten by Command; in such cases, after a reasonable amount of
time, they will contact Command and readvise him or her of their
standby status.
These Staging procedures attempt to reduce routine traffic, but in
no way should reduce effective communications or the initiative of
officers to communicate. If staged companies observe critical
tactical needs they will advise Command of such critical conditions
and their actions.
Companies shoul d con.tinue response to the scene unti I company
reports on the scene. When a first arriving company reports on the
scene, Level I Staging will begin within these guidelines.
PAGE 21 OF 25
.
.
.
.
.
When two engine companies arrive simultaneously on the scene, one
of them must assume the responsibilities of 1st arriving engine as
outlined above.
If a company which would normally be first due to the incident is
out of normal response area and arrival order is uncertain, the
officer of that company will communicate the location from which
the company will begin response to the Communications Center. The
Communications Center will re-transmit this information over the
designated response channel. company officers will utilize radio
communications to coordinate possible simultaneous first arrival of
two companies. It will be the ongoing responsibility of the
Communications Center to confirm the arrival of the first on the
scene unit.
Level I Staging is superseded by pre-plan instructions and/or
orders from Command.
PAGE 22 OF 25
.
.
.
.
.
STAGING
LEVEL II
Level II Staging will relate to large, complex type field
situations (automatic on high rise) requiring an on-scene reserve
of companies and will involve formal staging in an area designated
by Command. The staging area should be away from the Command Post
and from the emergency scene in order to provide adequate space for
assembl y and for safe and effecti ve apparatus movement. When
Command announces a formal staging area, all responding companies
will report to and remain in the staging area until assigned. When
going to Level I I, Command wi 11 formal I y announce: "Level I I
Staging" and will give approximate location of the staging area.
Level I I Staging wi II automaticall y supersede Level I Staging;
companies already staged in Level I will remain in Level I until
assigned.
Command may designate a staging area and staging officer who will
be responsible for the activities outlined in this directive. In
the absence of such an assignment, the first Fire Department
Officer to arrive at the staging area will automatically become the
staging officer, will notify Command of their arrival and will
assume Command of the staging area.
Due to the limited number of truck companies, if the first arriving
officer is a truck company officer, he or she will transfer Command
to the first arriving engine company officer. In cases where the
first fire department officer arrives with their company, they will
assign company members to the best advantage.
In some cases, Command may ask the staging officer to scout the
best location for the staging area and report back to Command.
The radio designation for the staging officer, area and function
will be: "STAGING". All communications involving staging will be
between Staging and Command (or Staging and "Operations" level, if
established). All responding companies will respond directly to
the designated staging area and report their arrival to the
Communications Center and (in person) to the Staging Officer. They
will stand by their unit with crew intact and warning lights turned
off.
When requested by Command, the staging officer will verbally asslgn
companies to report to specific sectors, telling them where and to
whom to report. The officer wi II then advise Command of the
specific unit(s) assigned. The operating sector officer may then
communicate directly with the company by radio.
staging will give Command periodic reports of available companies
in staging. Staging may utilize another channel and communicate
directly with the Communications C~nter for additional resources.
PAGE 23 OF 25
.
.
.
.
.
The Staging Of f i cer wi II al so be respons ibl e for the following
functions:
A. Coordinate with the law enforcement agenc~es the blocking
of streets, intersections and other accesses required for
the Staging Area.
B.
Ensure that all apparatus ~s parked in an appropriate
manner.
C. Maintain a log of companies available in the staging area
and inventory all specialized equipment that might be
required at the scene.
D. Review with Command what resources must be maintained in
the staging area and coordinate the request for these
resources with the Communications Center.
E. Assume a posi tion that is visibl e and accessibl e to
incoming and staged companies. This will be accomplished
by leaving red light operating.
F. In some cases, the staging officer may have to indicate
best direction of response and routing for responding
companies to get into the staging area and/or scene.
Ambulances responding to incidents where Level II Staging has been
established will be dispatched to the staging area. The staging
officer will acknowledge the arrival of the ambulances with the
Communications Center and will give instructions to the ambulance
personnel as requested by Command.
A major medical emergency may require a separate staging area for
ambulances. In such cases, the staging officer will so designate
and relay this information to the Communications Center and
Command.
At some incidents, such as a major medical incident, it may be
necessary to designate a parking area for abandoned apparatus near
the incident scene. This would be necessary when the staging area
is too far from the incident to facilitate hand carrying needed
equipment to the incident site. In such cases, the staging officer
shall designate the parking site and instruct each company of its
location before they leave staging. The parking area should be
close enough to the incident site to allow easy transfer of needed
equipment to the scene. The parking area should in no way, impede
necessary access for ambul ances or other uni ts to the incident
area.
Unless otherwise instructed by Command, Staging will advise Command
when the level of resources in the staging is near depletion.
Command will make a decision whether or not to transmit an
additional alarm or special call additior-~l units.
PAGE 24 OF 25
.
.
.
.
.
Command may instruct Staging to maintain a base level of resources
until further advised. In such circumstances, Staging will
communicate directly with the Communications Center to request
additional resources.
Companies staged will not be available for response to other
incidents while in staging unless the staging officer or resource

FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION
HURRICANE RESTORATION PLAN
Florida Power Corporation is aware of the importance for restoring
power in a quick and safe manner I should any of its 32 county
service areas be affected by a major hurricane or class storm. Our
storm plan is broken down into specific geographic regions called
divisions. The City of Ocoee is covered under the Central Florida
Region storm plan. Our storm plan provides for comprehensive
planning in areas of organizational structure and defines areas of
responsibility for a wide range of storm damage conditions. It
identifies three basic levels of storm damage and follows with
corresponding organizational changes to affect the necessary
flexibility and maximum response effort needed for the restoration
of power.
The three basic levels of storm damage are identified as follows:
Condition I
This is the highest level of damage that could
occur from a typical summer thunderstorm.
Condition II
This is an intermediate level of damage that
would occur from an unusually severe summer
thunderstorm or from hurricane fringe area
winds.
Condition III This is the most severe level of damage that
would occur as a resul t of full force
hurricane winds.
storm forecasts will originate from information furnished by the
United States Weather Bureau. Florida Power Corporation's Energy
Control Center in st. Petersburg monitors when appropriate storm
alert messages should be sent to area management. These messages
will in general, include location of the storm center, diameter of
storm, speed and direction of movement and an estimate as to where
and when the storm might affect Florida Power's system.
The responsibility efforts of Condition I can be handled quickly
and most efficiently by our normal operating pro~edures. Damage
and outages called in by customers are received by the Customer
Service Center and are entered into our computerized troubl e
analysis program. Message's identifying location of the outage and
type of Florida Power equipment in the field are sent to the Apopka
dispatcher who in turn assigns servicemen to the respective work
area.
Condition II restoration plans are the same as Condition I except
additional supervisors and personnel are called out to assist in
the restoration of their respective areas as rapidly as possible.
Line crews from other Florida Power Corporation Divisions may be
utilized as the situation dictates.
.

.
.
.
Condition III defines a widespread severe level of storm damage
which will necessitate maximum decentralization for the most rapid
response to restoring service after the storm has abated. All non-
essential activities will be suspended for the duration of
Condition III. ALL Florida Power corporation personnel are
assigned service restoration responsibi I i ties. There are n~ne
restoration areas located throughout the West Orange and Lake
County areas that a complement of service personnel are assigned.
Each location wi II incl ude a supervisor, assistant supervisor, line
crews, servicemen, troublemen, several facility patrolmen, a
runner, clerk and tree crew. Working hours will be from 6:30 a.m.
to 8:30 p.m. Employees not trained in line work such as office
clerks will be assigned jobs of providing meals served in the field
unless a restaurant is in the immediate field vicinity.
The area supervisor will use the following guide for establishing
priorities in restoration of service in their respective areas:
1. Transmission Lines required to restore substation service
as instructed by the Transmission Restoration Supervisor.
2. Main Feeders after they have been pa tro II ed by the
patrolmen. Notes are to be made of any work necessary to
restore service on the feeders and assigned to a line
crew.
3.
Service To Priori t y customers on life support systems and
any essential governmental faci I i ty not have back-up
generator capability.
4. Branch Lines which wi II, in the opinion of the area
supervisor, restore service to the largest number of
customers in the shortest amount of time.
5.
other Branch Lines and Isolated
restoration is more time consuming.
Customers
where
Communication and work efforts between the nine restoration areas
will be coordinated by the division dispatching office lo~ate din
Apopka. Shoul d we lose this si te due to storm damage then an
alternate site/s with generator and radio back-ups are ~ssigned.
Restoration up-date coordinators are responsible for staying in
touch wi th the area supervisors and keeping track of assessed
damage and the progress of restoration. They will compile
summaries for the Operations and Area Managers.
The restoration up-date coordinators will also be responsible for
maintaining informational to the Regional Customer Service Center
in Winter Park so cus tomers can be given the bes t 6.vai I ab 1 e
information.
Please be aware that the above plan is only a summary of our formal
storm plan. Additional areas addressed in the plan but not
mentioned are: organizational chart with job assignments ?d phone

numbers for employees, emergency medical treatment faci I i ti es.

transportation, food and lodging for outside crews, security, etc.
Al so, be assured that Florida Power has a very detai I ed and
workable plan for restoring electric to the City of Ocoee and our
other customers should we incur damage from a hurricane or major
storm. Our plan allows for the maximum use of our employees and
the flexibility to decentralize as needed in order to restore
electric power as rapidly as possIble.
