Emergency Preparedness

The Broward County Office of Economic Development is the lead county agency with the primary responsibility for the coordination of all emergency support functions for local business and industry related to the life safety issues occurring from disasters.

The purpose of this emergency support function (ESF) is to provide timely information to the business community and coordinate activities relating to business resumption without disruption or compromise of any County activities relating to life safety issues.

The ESF plans, coordinates, and assists in recovery support to the private sector, county, and local government. This ESF will assist in the coordination of the reentry and recovery process for business and industry. This ESF will act as a liaison to the business community and work with local business alliances and ESF 16, Law Enforcement, to develop procedures for providing access to business to perform damage assessment and business continuity activities.

The Broward County Office of Economic Development is committed to reducing the potential effects of natural, technological, and man-made hazards on the economic well-being and productivity of businesses in Broward County.
