2010 State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
Florida law establishes the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan as the master operations document for the State of Florida and it is the framework through which the state handles emergencies and disasters. It defines the responsibilities of the government, private, volunteer and non-governmental organizations that comprise the State Emergency Response Team (SERT). The document consists of a Basic Plan, which describes the process for preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation activities of the SERT. It also contains an annex for the 18 Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), the primary mechanisms for providing assistance at the state level, and annexes for responding to specific hazards such as wildfires and pandemic disease outbreaks. The CEMP ensures that all levels of government are able to mobilize as a unified emergency organization to safeguard the well-being of the state’s residents and visitors. It is the plan to which many of the State of Florida’s other disaster response plans are aligned.
