This document outlines the funding formula and design criteria for Florida Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). It includes information on minimum hurricane safety criteria, workspace requirements, funding priorities, and funding limitations. The document also provides links to relevant resources and guidelines for wind and flood survivability enhancements.

Florida Emergency Operations Centers; 2006 Funding Formula and Design Criteria Danny Kilcollins, FPEM Planning Manager Division of Emergency Management
HB 7121 County EOC Construction and Improvement • Priorities were EOCs that did not meet minimum hurricane safety criteria, and those with inadequate workspace • ARC 4496 hurricane safety criteria • FEMA CPG 1-20 workspace criteria • Competitive Grant Application Process • Additional factors to consider for developing funding proposal: • County Population • Hurricane evacuation clearance time • Other: Fiscal Constrained county status
Minimum Hurricane Safety Criteria for Existing Critical Facilities
CPG 1-20 Workspace Criteria • CPG 1-20 recommends a range of 50 to 85 sq.ft. per occupant • Workspace need should be based on concept of operations and extenuating variables • Appendix D representative floor plans all based on 85 sq.ft. per staff • Division considers a range of 85 to 120 sq.ft. per staff suitable for modern EOCs
HB 7121 County EOC Construction and Improvement • Provided $20M for basic construction and $25M for wind and flood survivability enhancements • Funding limited to construction of the building • land acquisition or improvements ineligible • purchase of furnishings and equipment ineligible • recurring expenses ineligible
Funding Formula • $70M in funding requests from about half of counties • Funding had to be proportionally distributed • State funds limited to counties with EOCs that did not meet ARC 4496 • Funding for non-fiscally constrained counties limited to 50 sq.ft. per staff • Fiscally constrained counties split remaining funds (83 sq.ft. per staff) • Proposed funding based on CPG 1-20 staff size, workspace allowance per staff, and model square foot costs at basic wind speed; HMGP proposed to fund above-code wind & flood criteria
