G. Training Procedures for Mitigation PersonnelPersonnel involved in mitigation activities will receive on-going training according to their individual needs. Levy County Emergency Management will work with all mitigation assessment team members to ensure that all training needs are met. The primary source for mitigation training is the Florida Division of Emergency Management. H. Specific Mitigation Pre-Disaster ActivitiesLevy County Emergency Management participates in providing information to the citizens of Levy County in ongoing public outreach activities. This includes the use of newspaper advertisements, public services announcements, radio spots, flyers, fairs and conferences. Presentations are made at both public and private meetings to inform attendees of mitigation activities available. The county also actively supports public education regarding building policies in flood prone areas. The Levy County Local Mitigation Strategy Task Force involves members of the private industry and the community in mitigation activities. This civic involvement provides a meeting ground for resource and information sharing regarding mitigation problems and opportunities in the community.

prioritizing public and private transportation resources for the transportation of people, materials, goods and services to impacted areas. This includes the modes of highway, rail, air and water and performing necessary actions to assist with recovery operations. C. Planning Assumptions: 1. Each agency will maintain and annually update its inventory of equipment, supplies and personnel. 2. Resources may be needed following a disaster as a result of both increased transportation needs and disruption of normal transportation systems. 3. Transportation may be required for bringing emergency equipment and supplies into the disaster area. Emergency transportation may also be necessary to provide access to assistance centers for disaster victims and access to places essential to the resumption of normal community life such as stores, schools, government offices and major employment centers. 4. The provision of emergency transportation may involve establishment of usage priorities as well as the provision of additional resources while normal systems are being restored. Coordination with other ESF’s efforts will be required. D. Priorities Calls for service will probably be greater than resources. Priorities must be established in coordination with the EOC. Priorities must be flexible as the situation will be fluid and circumstances will change. The following table gives priority guidelines:
III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS: A. General: Local planning for the provision of emergency transportation services should include private carriers. This may require establishing and maintaining agreements with voluntary agencies, private companies and surrounding communities. Fuel supplies call for more stringent controls and management of this resource. Individual gasoline supplies are normally limited to the fuel in personal cars at any one time. Government and industry have some limited bulk fuel storage. Local government intervention to place some controls over fuel sales may be required depending on the emergency. Rationing of some degree even without state or federal initiation may be necessary. An emergency declaration may be made in anticipation of emergency in accordance with Chapter 252.36(2) and (8). B. Organization: ESF-1 is under the leadership of the Levy County School District and when activated will identify which support agencies are needed and take steps to ensure they are activated or on standby. Personnel and resources from primary and support agencies will be utilized to respond to mission assignments related to emergencies. Additional resources available at other ESF’s may be coordinated and mobilized to support ESF-1 missions. When requests begin to exceed the county ESF’s capability to respond, additional resources will be mobilized. All personnel and resources mobilized by ESF-1 will remain under the direction and control of the ESF unless otherwise notified. C. Notification: 1. General Notification The ESF-1 primary agency will receive notification from the EOC, or from a member of Emergency Management. The primary agency will use its call-out roster to activate its own personnel and to notify support agencies. Support agencies will use their call out rosters to activate their personnel. 2. Driver Notification a. Drivers will be informed where to report, how long they may be expected to work, and what types of missions and conditions to expect. b. Upon concluding the notification process, each support agency will advise the primary agency of the status of its vehicles, drivers and other resources. The primary agency will present a “roll up” report to the Levy County EOC. c. Drivers, maintenance and other support personnel may be required to furnish 24-hour continuous transportation service. Once it is apparent that 24-hour operations are required, each agency will identify the appropriate vehicles, drivers and support staff to operate a second or third shift as needed. 3. Coordination ESF-1 activities will be coordinated in the Levy County EOC. The Levy County Emergency Management Director, or designated representative will decide whether the activities will be performed by ESF-1 as a stand-alone ESF, or as a part of the Logistics Branch. 4. Immediate Actions a. All agencies will conduct an updated inventory of equipment, vehicles, supplies and personnel. b. The primary agency will receive a status briefing. c. The primary agency and the EOC staff will establish priorities for response. d. The primary agency will brief the support agencies on priorities and their assigned task. e. If the incident has not yet occurred, such as with rising flood waters, or an approaching hurricane, pre-staging may be established. f. The primary agency, using resources of the support agencies, will establish a 24-hour a day staffing pattern for the EOC. 5. Pre-Staging a. Driver and vehicle safety must be considered. b. The decision to pre-stage will be the decision of the primary agency. c. Staging sites will be based on the situation. d. Sites should be:
e. The Levy County School District pre-stages buses at the homes of drivers. f. Nature Coast Transit buses are staged at the Nature Coast Transit Garage unless moved due to the situation. 6. Mutual Aid a. All available local and neighboring resources will be utilized prior to requesting mutual aid through the state. b. Requests for mutual aid through the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement or Emergency Mutual Aid Compact will be requested through the State Liaison if one is present in the EOC. c. In the event that a state liaison is not present in the EOC, a request may be forwarded to the State EOC by the County Emergency Management Director or their designated representative. 7. Tracking Mutual Aid Resources a. Loaned Resources - The EOC will establish a wallboard or other system to track loaned resources. Each organization that furnished the equipment is expected to maintain its internal record of the loan. b. Borrowed Resources - The EOC will establish a wallboard or other system to track borrowed resources. Each organization that receives the borrowed equipment is responsible for documenting its use, and knowing its location. c. Return of Borrowed Resources - As part of the plan for draw-down of activities, priority will be given to returning borrowed resources before releasing internal resources. 8. Public Transportation Pick-up Points a. Announced Routes - These routes will be used when there is time for ESF-14 (Public Information) to inform the public that is specific to the developing situation, or the situation that recently passed through the county. b. Unannounced Routes: - ESF-14 will promote these locations pre-incident with the intention of developing public awareness about their location. The locations will be familiar to the residents of each locality. School bus stops Public buildings and community centers Shopping centers and “strip malls” Churches In rural areas, County and/or State Road intersections; local convenience stores. 9. Transportation of Persons with Special Needs a. The Special Needs Data Base will be used to identify and to track persons with special needs. b. Unlike sheltering, special needs may include those who are injured. c. Those that are physically capable but without transportation will be transported with the general population. d. The Levy County School District and Nature Coast Transit will provide lift assist vehicles, drivers and support personnel. e. Most lift-assist vehicles are used for the transportation of the general population as well as all known special needs populations. Every effort will be made to transport all special needs populations utilizing available vehicles. 10. Traffic Regulations Current plans do not include predetermined changes in existing traffic patterns, flow or regulations. Based on circumstances created by the situation special regulations may be required. These will be established by: a. Coordination with local law enforcement, the law enforcement and Emergency Management Director of neighboring counties that might be impacted, and with the FDEM liaison. b. ESF-14 will be advised of the special conditions and furnished with as much lead time as possible to advise the news media and public. c. The ultimate decision to begin and cease special traffic regulations will be made by the Levy County Emergency Management Director, or their designated representative. IV.
