BLS program staffing.
• At an average of $310 per transport, each unit will need to increase its number of transports by
40 in the first year, or 3.5 per month, to cover the cost of these program changes. We are certain
this will not only be achieved, but far exceeded.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OKALOOSA COUNTY, FLORIDA
SERVICE AREA: PUBLIC SAFETY
DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIVISION
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This program consists of an Emergency Management Division Chief, an
Emergency Management Coordinator, and an Administrative Assistant. The Division maintains the County
Emergency Operations Center, which is a unique facility that provides a central command location for County
emergency response and recovery efforts before, during, and after emergencies and disasters. The Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) operates under the emergency support function/incident command system structure.
There are 20 individual emergency support functions; each function oversees a critical service the county must
continue to provide to its citizens, visitors, and businesses. The emergency support functions are arranged into
sections that comply with incident command system requirements. The Division assists with the logistics of
disaster response and recovery operations with all branches of government to ensure missions and resources are
managed efficiently. The division identifies potential threats and designs a long-term plan to prevent damages to
individuals and property. Mitigation activities include public outreach through the Code Red warning system;
shelter retrofits as funding becomes available, increasing shelter space available by working with other
governmental agencies through new construction, and actively addressing mitigation issues through the Okaloosa
County Local Mitigation Strategy Committee and identifying mitigation projects and funding opportunities to the
committee.
REVENUE: Emergency Management Division is funded within the General Fund. Supporting revenue of the
General Fund are ad valorem taxes, state shared revenue, other miscellaneous revenue and transfers from other
funds.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR:
Upgrade of Emergency Operation Center (EOC) equipment ensuring the EOC is ready to serve during
emergency situations.
