| 8:00 am - 5:00 pm | The conference is scheduled for the beginning of the 2007 hurricane season, timed to take place after the Florida public school year ends so that families may attend. It is anticipated that between 200 and 300 individuals representing every facet of emergency preparedness and disaster readiness-planning will participate. This state-wide ESF17/SART event should be especially beneficial for county-level SART coordinators and cooperators. There is a full schedule of informational meetings and demonstrations, and you will have plenty of opportunities to meet face-to-face with the people you regularly Email and talk to on the phone, the very people you will work with in case a disaster or emergency affects your area. Sessions are tentatively scheduled on animal, aquaculture, farm/nursery, terrorism awareness and emergency management issues. Individual sessions on forming a county SART program and using the SART website plus ICS-100 and IS-700 will be held. With negotiated room rates less than $100.00 per night, the conference is designed to be affordable as well as informative. The Division of Animal Industry is designated as the lead agency for Emergency Support Function 17 (ESF17), Animal and Agricultural Issues, in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. ESF17 is responsible for coordinating the response of county, state, federal and volunteer agencies in assisting cities and counties in animal and agricultural issues impacted by an emergency or natural disaster. 12:00 noon - 5:00 PM Wednesday, May 30 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Thursday, May 31 8:00 AM - 12:00 noon Friday, June 1 |
