  • AGENCY for HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN INTRODUCTION the State of Florida Has Developed a Plan to Respon
    AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN INTRODUCTION The State of Florida has developed a plan to respond to natural and man-made disasters, that provides a method for the delivery of goods and services to affected areas quickly and decisively. The plan is initiated in Tallahassee at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) where the seventeen emergency Support Functions (ESF’s) are activated. A brief description of each ESF is contained in this manual. OVERVIEW OF EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS (ESF) In a widespread emergency the needs may be complex and far-reaching. Seventeen areas of responsibility have been established to coordinate emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. Those areas are known as Emergency Support Functions (ESF). There is one agency with primary responsibility for operating each ESF. Other agencies are tasked with supporting roles. ESF’s are the functional support roles of the State Emergency Response Team (SERT). The details of each function are in the state plan. The details of how the jobs are to be done are in procedures developed by the primary agency of an ESF. These are the emergency support functions and the agencies with primary responsibility for them. These seventeen Emergency Support Functions are the backbone of Florida’s emergency management program. Listed below are the Emergency Support Functions and their agencies with primary and support responsibility: ESF 1 TRANSPORTATION Primary Agency: Department of Transportation Coordinate the use of transportation resources to support the needs of local governments, voluntary organizations and other emergency support groups requiring transportation capacity to perform their emergency response, recovery and assistance missions.
