SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COMPLEX COORDINATED TERRORIST ILVITI4TIVE
NEED
1. VULNERABILITIES
The Southeast Florida Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack Initiative (the Project), is a regional
project coordinated by the Southeast Regional Domestic Security Taskforce Region 7 (SERDSTF).
The SERDSTF is a network consisting of 109 multi -discipline, multi -jurisdictional regional partner
agencies. The taskforce complements the existing knowledge and structure of federal processes,
from the Miami -Ft. Lauderdale Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), which is comprised of
Miami -Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe Counties. This Initiative represents Florida's
most populous region with over 6.5 million residents, 9,875 square miles and more than 200
miles of coastline susceptible to attacks. The region is home to the Network Access Point center
of the Americas, one of the world's largest data centers, which redirects most of the digital
information that comes from Latin America. About 90% of data traffic from Central and South
America passes through the South FL facility before continuing to its final destination to more
than 148 countries around the world. It is the only region with five major sporting franchises in
the State and the largest concentration of international banks in the U.S. and four international
airports. The Miami -Ft. Lauderdale UASI is notable for its international seaports: PortMiami, Port
Everglades and Port Palm Beach.
The seaports' accessibility, location and daily logistics pose unique vulnerabilities. Open
waterways surround each of the region's ports, all of which have both civilian and commercial
traffic. Accessibility to terminals is open to the public during cruise ship embarkation and
debarkation times. PortMiami is among America's busiest ports and recognized as a global
gateway. As of 2015, approximately 4.9 million passengers came through Port Miami, more than
any other port in the world. Port Everglades, has approximately 3.7 million cruise passengers and
over a million shipping containers pass through, annually. Port Palm Beach is the 4th busiest deep
water port in Florida and the 18th busiest in the US. A major consequence of a complex
coordinated terrorist attack (CCTA) at any one of the seaports is the large loss of life that would
result due to the millions of travelers that pass through the ports each year and the large number
of employees working at the ports. An attack of this magnitude runs the risk of overwhelming
regional emergency response resources, including non -law enforcement government, non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) and private sector entities.
PortMiami contributes $28 billion annually to the local economy and supports more than 207,000
jobs in South FL. For Port Everglades, approximately 224,000 Florida jobs are impacted by the
Port, including 11,700 people who work for companies that provide direct services. On average,
Port Palm Beach, generates $7 billion in commodities and $216 million in business revenue. A
large scale CCTA event in the Southeast FL Region has the potential to cripple, not only the area's
tourism and commercial trade, but the state of Florida's economy as a whole.
Another vulnerability is the volatility and value of cargo that passes through our seaports. Port
Everglades is South FL's main seaport for receiving petroleum products including gasoline, jet
fuel, and alternative fuels, processing 121 million barrels of fuel (5,082 million gallons) in 2016.
Fuel and liquid petroleum gas storage and handling of hazardous materials are key components
of Port Everglades' operation, but provide for an unintended weapon system. The dynamics of
these arrangements are compounded by the close proximity to airports, railroads and financial
facilities. A CCTA event has the risk of causing a major interruption of outgoing and incoming
petroleum and cargo to the region. Maintaining the ingress and egress of materials in these
locations is of critical importance to the security and financial stability of the economies in this
region.

SOUTH AST F"C_ORIDA COMPLEX COORDINATE TERRORIST .ATTACK INITIATIVE
The election increased our unique vulnerability risk, as Palm Beach County is the home of
President Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort. His presence in Southeast FL for extended periods of time,
exponentially raises our vulnerability to a CCTA.
2. CAPABILITY GAPS RELATED TO CCTA
Capability gaps identified during the regional THIRA confirm the region's inability to conduct
comprehensive training and exercise due to limited State Homeland Security Grant Program
(HSGP) funding, and ongoing cuts to the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale UASI allocation. The lack of HSGP
and UASI training funds, combined with a recent slew of budget cuts to many of the region's first
responder agencies, further diminish regional training and exercise opportunities for
municipalities that would normally respond to a large CCTA incident in support of county teams.
This was evident throughout Operation Heat Shield in 2016, where only eleven of the region's
SWAT teams were able to supply personnel `in -kind' to participate in a series of multi -
jurisdictional response scenarios. Operation Heat Shield was a complex, regional response full-
scale exercise, developed to address gaps identified during the regional Joint Counterterrorism
Awareness Workshop Series (JCTAWS). During Heat Shield, multi -disciplinary and multi -
jurisdictional participants, exercised emergency response plans while testing unified command
capabilities in response to a series of scenarios that developed over a span of nearly 18 hours
and across eight venues in Miami -Dade County, FL. The lack of funding to reimburse agencies for
overtime prevented smaller municipal partner agencies from participating in the exercise.
The assessment from a 20141CTA WS Table Top also confirmed the level of planning, coordination
and training among first responders is central to the successful disruption and termination of a
CCTA. The need to provide regional training and exercise to prepare and respond to a CCTA
incident remains a top priority. Given the opportunity to provide regional multidiscipline, multi -
jurisdictional partners with comprehensive CCTA-related regional training and exercises, the
following CAPABILITY GAPS that were previously identified would be addressed:
1. Communication and data sharing challenges between emergency responders are
consistently problematic during a mass casualty incident resulting from a CCTA event.
lnteroperable communication deficiencies directly contribute to communication and
planning disconnect during a CCTA response;
2. Coordination between healthcare facilities and emergency operations centers for patient
tracking and immediate/long term victim assistance;
3. Affected hospitals and emergency management need to communicate to prepare for the
needs of victims impacted by CCTA incidents. Collaboration between EMS, ESF-8 (public
health/medical services), law enforcement, hospitals, the medical examiner's office, public
information officers, mass care stakeholders, and whole community partners is necessary
to address family reunification and the establishment of a family assistance center while
maintaining a secure environment;
4. Need for integrated law enforcement and fire -rescue response to a CCTA incident;
5. Intelligence and information sharing between affected federal, state and local partners, to
ensure coordinated public information sharing occurs; and
6. Major large-scale events that require special handling have issues regarding command and
control between responding law enforcement and fire -rescue specialty teams. CCTA grant
funded training/exercise is critical for smaller municipal specialty team agencies to exercise
with State recognized specialty teams. Municipal agencies do not receive State funding for
counter -terrorism training and preparedness, and would not be able to participate.

3. RESOURCE LIMITATIONS and FEDERAL FUNDS NEEDS, ACCOMPLISHMENTS, FUNDING
Diminished support from the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHGP) and limited
resources have created a need for additional federal funding for CCTA preparedness and training.
SERDSTF Region 7 teams charged with responding to a CCTA incident within the region, have
been receiving minimal funding each year, due to the ongoing reduction of SHGP funding below:
In FY 2015 — 2017 Florida was awarded $11,040,500 in funds. Region 7 received respectively:
• $1,347,702 (12.2%) $1,031,858 (9.35%) $1,519,296 (13.76%)
The Miami/Ft. Lauderdale UASI also has significant reductions in funding:
• a 50% allocation reduction in 2012 and an additional 2% reduction in 2016
Region 7 is the largest and most densely populated region in the state, with more than 33% of
Florida's population and containing critical infrastructure. Florida's SHGP allocation formula fails
to take into account the region's shifting population associated with tourism; over 27.6 million
people visit this region yearly. These changes increase the region's risk environment from CCTA
incidents. The pattern of underfunding Southeast FL prohibits the implementation of region -wide
proactive multi -disciplinary CCTA-type training and exercise for affected municipalities that do
not receive SHGP funding. The financial burden to bear their own training, is too great for smaller
partners. Without a coordinated regional effort, training obtained in silos results in the absence
of interoperability during any future large-scale CCTA. Regional training also ensures all partners
adhere to a common curriculum.
Preparedness and training is key to strengthening our collective security and resilience. Rescue
Task Force trainings have occurred in a few of the jurisdictions within the region. In 2014, a
JCTAWS Tabletop Exercise was conducted in Miami. The capability gaps identified as a result, led
to the creation of a full-scale, multi -jurisdictional exercise called Operation Heat Shield. The
exercise involved a situational scenario on "All -Star Baseball Game Weekend" at Miami's Marlins
Park. Results and observations were as follows;
• The value of victim Warm -Zone extraction was shown during the morning portion of the
exercise, especially the need of close coordination between uniformed personnel and EMS;
• The use of pre -deployed Florida Department of Health State Medical Response Teams at
Marlins Park proved invaluable in the triage of victims prior to hospital transport; and
• SWAT Commanders were educated on the Southeast Fusion Center's (SEFFC) criminal
intelligence sharing capabilities prior and during the exercise. The SEFFC is Miami -Dade Police
Department's Homeland Security Bureau.
We accomplished the goal to unite all 10-12 response teams to work together. Officer safety was
enhanced through the purchase of 15, M4 training bolts for use with new Universal Training
Munitions, enabling officers to train using their own weapons moving forward. Federal funding,
training, and/or technical assistance received for regional CCTA preparedness:

7
SOUTHEAST FLORIDA CO;t!PLIsX COORDD ATED TERRORIST ATT4.CK INITIATIVE
exercises (JCTAWS/Operation Heat Shield) within the last three years. This information will be
shared with affected partners and used to develop regional training and exercise.
Deliverable: updated regional gap analysis.
Planning: Establish a multi -discipline Regional Planning Team to develop a regional CCTA full-
scale exercise to address gaps identified in the regional plan.
Deliverable: Planning team dedicated to CCTA project development.
Training: The SERDSTF partners will coordinate the following Train the Trainer courses within
their jurisdictions.
Deliverable: Create a Train the Trainer model for the region.
Bleeding Control for the Injured (B-Con): Designed to support the "Stop the Bleed". The course
teaches the public and non -medical personnel how to utilize the basic essentials of a small lFAK
and control major hemorrhage.
Critical Decision Making for Complex Coordinated Attacks (PER-335): Intended for first
responders and key staff. This course addresses the vulnerability of any community to a public
safety situation, such as an active shooter at a shopping mall; a train derailment with
hazardous chemicals; a bombing incident at a commercial district; a plane crash; or chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive attack.
Rescue Task Force Training Course: for Police and Fire personnel in an active shooter scenario
to reduce mortality due to exsanguination.
L-965 - Resource Unit Leader Course NIMS ICS All -Hazards: training to be completed by
personnel who are regularly assigned to Functional, Support, or Unit Leader positions on Type
3 or 4 AHIMTs.
L-964 - Situation Unit Leader Course NIMS ICS All -Hazards: training to be completed by
personnel who are regularly assigned to Functional, Support, or Unit Leader positions on Type
3 or 4 AHIMTs 1
Exercising: Contract with the Regional Planning Council to assist with the planning, design and
implementation of (4) HSEEP compliant table top exercises for each of the region's Emergency
Operation Centers, and one regional CCTA full-scale exercise.
Deliverable: Four table tops and one regional full-scale exercise.
The regional planning team will use information provided by regional critical infrastructure
partners to develop a series of unique CCTA scenarios within Miami -Dade, Broward, and Palm
Beach counties that will test the planning, response and recovery capabilities of our affected
multi -disciplinary multi -jurisdictional partners. The full-scale will include a series of synchronized
attacks on multiple high value targets throughout the region. Specifically, the exercise will be
based on the premise of a CCTA at PortMiami, Port Everglades and Port Palm Beach and will
contain 12 unique exercises. The attacks will take place with little or no warning during the "week
of the Super Bowl in 2020". These exercises will address the identified gaps, and test command
and control, communication, patient tracking, immediate and long-term post -incident victim
care, warm -zone extraction techniques, family reunification and regional collaboration during a
CCTA incident.

6. APPROACH FOR CAPTURING, DISSEMINATING and SHARING PROJECT
The Southeast Regional Domestic Security Task Force (SERDSTF) operates in coordination and
support of the State's counterterrorism and domestic efforts, and the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale UASI.
The SERDSTF works conjointly with UASI to enhance regional capabilities, information sharing,
planning, coordination and training with public and private partners. The SERDSTF was
established to address terrorism and AII-Hazard Emergency Operations efforts by federal, state,
and local task force agencies using a whole community approach. The processes already in place
through the SERDSTF will facilitate the capture, dissemination and sharing of project results, best
practices, lessons learned and other results among regional Project partners and other
jurisdictions.
The SERDSTF regional planning approach incorporates 109 multi -discipline, multi -jurisdictional
partners in the following sectors: law enforcement, fire, health and medical, education,
interoperable communication, critical infrastructure, public information, emergency
management, maritime, cyber security, Southeast Florida Fusion Center (SEFFC), public, private,
and tribal partners. SERDSTF staff provides support & management; facilitates regional training
& exercise; and coordination between all regional and whole community partners. Over 350 task
force members and representatives from the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale UASI attend SERDSTF
Quarterly Meetings to assess regional needs and identify solutions, share information, develop
regional homeland security grant applications, and identify training opportunities. SERDSTF and
the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale UASI work hand in hand to enhance regional capabilities and share
information with multi -disciplinary public and private partners. After -Action Reports and
Improvement Plans (AAR/IP) will comply with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation
Program (HSEEP), and will be shared with affected whole community and regional partners via
well -established protocol. Partners may also share the information gathered at the quarterly
meetings with non -partner stakeholders within their jurisdictions, as they deem appropriate.
7. CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE APPROACHES
Comprised of 4 counties and 109 multi -jurisdictional partners, SERDSTF is the only alliance of its
kind in FL. The SERDSTF distinguishes itself from other task forces, with its scope and approach
for building capacity in collaboration with the whole community to prepare for and prevent
terrorist attacks and other mass casualty events and emergencies. This process was recognized
by NCTC/DHS/FBI as a best practice during the 2014 Miami Joint Counterterrorism Awareness
Workshop Series (JCTAWS). Additionally, in 2016 the State utilized the SERDSTF process as a
template for the redesign of its domestic security process.
Our well -established network of regional partnerships and whole community collaboration
promotes creative, innovative, and replicable approaches to preparing for a CCTA. The SERDSTF
has the capability, expertise, and resources necessary to design and implement the HSEEP
compliant CCTA full-scale exercise, conduct a series of table top exercises at each of our county
emergency operation centers, provide training to all participating jurisdictions and effectively
disseminate findings/results. Our multi -prong approach will incorporate providing train -the -
trainer classes for all the regional partners in Bleeding Control for the Injured (B-Con), Critical
Decision Making for Complex Coordinated Attacks (PER-335), Rescue Task Force Training, L-965
Resource Unit Leader Course NIMS ICS All -Hazards and L-964 -Situation Unit Leader Course NIMS
ICS AII-Hazards curriculum. Partners will collaborate in scheduling training responsibilities,
creating a cadre of instructors which will allow for a greater sharing of knowledge. Training is
further enhanced by having a diversified field of trainers from law enforcement, fire rescue and
hospital -based facilities. Creating a regional training team will have the benefit of reducing
9
SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COMPLEX COORDINATED TERRORIST A TTICK INITIATIVE
overtime cost to any one regional partner by having additional instructors to call upon. The
SERDSTF will develop a SERDSTF CCTA Planning Team (Planning Team) comprised of regional
multi -discipline subject matter experts serving on the taskforce and the UASI. Consultants will
be employed to update and consolidate the gap analysis, and develop and coordinate table top
exercises. Focusing on gaps identified during the JCTAWS and the Operation Heat Shield regional
full-scale exercise, the Planning Team will develop and implement a full-scale exercise that
necessitates the immediate multi -jurisdictional response of law enforcement and fire
departments from Miami -Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties. The exercise will
build on the training implemented upon receipt of the CCTA grant and will include smaller
agencies that usually do not have the funding for CCTA preparedness.
REGIONAL APPROACH
S. REGIONAL APPROACH, CROSS JURISDICTIONAL COLLABORATION
This project will utilize the regional approach modeled by the Southeast Regional Domestic
Security Task Force which has already successfully supported regional sustainment for over ten
years and was recognized as a best practice during the JCTAWS series. SERDSTF staff is well
experienced and already providing day-to-day management and support to 109 multi -discipline
multi -jurisdictional task force partners mentioned above. Staff will provide day to day
management and coordination during all phases of the project. Hundreds of task force members
and representatives from the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale UASI attend the SERDSTF Quarterly Meetings
to assess regional needs and identify solutions, share information, develop regional homeland
security grant applications, and identify regional training opportunities. Regional partners are
divided into 11 discipline -specific working groups, which are chaired and co-chaired by their
peers. These working groups further enhance regional information sharing, training, and
collaboration, and facilitate work relationships that are based on trust and respect.
The SERDSTF process is efficient, facilitates regional sustainment, resilience and cost
effectiveness through multi -jurisdictional voluntary investment and sharing of resources
including mostly free training, facilities and equipment. The project will use already trained
personnel to conduct classes using a Train the Trainer approach. This will allow more classes to
be offered in an array of disciplines that can be tailored to specific needs. Smaller and under
resourced jurisdictions will have access to training otherwise not available to them and will be
able to provide critical support during a CCTA.
9. REGIONAL PARTNERS and WHOLE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS
The 40 SERDSTF agencies listed below will support the objectives of this CCTA project by either
conducting CCTA related courses, providing personnel to serve as CCTA related regional Train the
Trainers, conducting regional table top exercises, or participating in the regional full scale
exercise. Partners have provided support letters.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
10. PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH, MEASURES, METRICS and SUSTAINABILITY
The SERDSTF will develop a CCTA Planning Team comprised of regional multi -discipline subject
matter experts serving on the taskforce and UASI. Consultants will be employed to update and
12
SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COMPLEX COORDINATED TERRORIST ATT4CK INITI.4TI VE
consolidate the gap analysis and update the Regional Terrorism Response Plan. The Planning
Team will provide oversight to these consultants to ensure adherence to the schedule and to
maintain accountability. Due dates for milestones and deliverables will be incorporated into the
contracts of consultants whom will be contractually obligated to report, meet with and provide
biweekly status/progress reports to the Planning Team. These reports will be analyzed to verify
performance of activities in keeping with the project's objectives and timeline and to identify
solutions to any potential setbacks or issues. The planning team will also monitor the expenses
to ensure compliance with approved budget and allowable program costs.
Regional training classes will be offered on specific dates and regional partners will be notified of
those dates well in advance. A full-time, dedicated program director will monitor the project's
progress. Agencies committed to conducting regional training or table top exercises will be
responsible for accomplishing the same within the designated phase and for meeting regional
milestones and providing progress reports. Planning and implementation of the full-scale
exercise will take place after regional training and table top exercises are completed, to address
gaps that were identified. The project schedule will be adjusted as feasible to ensure on -time
completion within budget parameters. These performance measures and related metrics will be
used to track project effectiveness and progress:

This project will utilize a Train the Trainer approach by which people initially trained will be
equipped to train others throughout the region. This process will be repeated to maintain a cadre
of trained regional personnel and to efficiently instruct regional partners at little or no cost.
Whole community partnerships offered through the Miami UASI and SERDSTF will continue to be
leveraged beyond the grant period. These multi -jurisdiction, multi -discipline partnerships
provide a collaborative forum to plan, train, and exercise in a coordinated manner. Processes and
protocols developed through this Project will be maintained and updated as needed. Regional
partners will continue to utilize Homeland Security Grant funding and any other funds to conduct
regional training and exercises in an effort to maintain capabilities to respond to CCTA. Regional
partners will also pursue grants from foundations, local, state, and the federal government to
ensure the capabilities are sustained.

11. PROJECT PLAN, SCHEDULE and MILESTONES
This project will increase the preparedness of the Southeast Florida Region in its ability to
respond to CCTA type events. To this end, a collaborative SERDSTF Planning Team will manage
and coordinate all phases of the project, review existing plans and after action reports and
oversee all project consultants. A consultant will be contracted to update the existing gap
analysis utilizing information gathered from various CCTA type regional exercises. The consultant
will produce a report consolidating findings into one regional HSEEP compliant document that
can be shared amongst all partners. The Regional Planning Council will be contracted to assist
with the planning, design and implementation of four HSEEP compliant table top exercises for
each of the region's emergency operations centers. These table tops will facilitate the spirit of
cooperation and regional approach of this project. They will be conducted prior to the regional
full scale exercise to address gaps and test each county's whole community approach as well as
processes for family reunification and the establishment of a family assistance center. Each
county will then produce a findings report that will be shared in the quarterly SERDSTF meetings.
Further, regional personnel will provide a series of Train- the -Trainer classes covering 8-Con,
TECC, and LEFR-TCC at various locations throughout the region. A multi -discipline regional
planning team will develop a regional CCTA full-scale exercise to address identified gaps.
These activities related to identifying gaps have been accomplished: 1) reviewed several
capability and vulnerability assessments to identify gaps and to validate areas needing
improvement; 2) identified federal, state and local resources to mitigate gaps; and 3) identified
regional partners who will provide in -kind training, facilities and equipment. All project activities
will be conducted in adherence to the schedule below.

IMPACT
12. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON INCREASING PREPAREDNESS/RESILIENCE and NEGATIVE IMPACTS
This project incorporates the whole community to include first responder agencies as well as
Faith Based organizations, NGO's, and private businesses which enhances preparedness by
expanding the number of entities that can assist in a CCTA. The exercise scenarios are designed
to trigger a response from regional law enforcement, fire responders, health and medical, county
emergency operations centers, the South Florida Fusion Center, the Southeast Regional Domestic
Security Task Force, Interoperable Communications, joint media and maritime personnel within
each county. The hands-on learning environment facilitated by the CCTA project will increase the
preparedness and resilience capabilities of regional multi -disciplinary partners who would not
otherwise train together.
Through this project, participants will improve gaps in their communication, coordination,
integration, intelligence and information sharing and command and control skills. The exercises
in this project are a fundamental part of increasing preparedness and resilience. Rehearsing for
a CCTA will involve assessing the regions overall preparedness by testing procedures, logistics,
communications, and developing competencies. Participants will improve their capabilities by
using procedures planned for real events which will ensure the region has the best possible
contingency plans in place to respond to a CCTA. The project will test the efficacy of implemented
solutions to issues which will enable the region to make corrections.
Table top exercises will stimulate discussion of various issues regarding the hypothetical full scale
scenario and will be used to assess plans, policies and procedures or assess types of systems
needed to guide the prevention of, response to and recovery from an event. The exercise will
facilitate understanding of concepts, identification of strengths and shortfalls, and/or achieve a
change in attitude. In depth discussions will allow participants to develop decisions.
The approach to this project is strategically designed to increase regional preparedness and
resilience by mitigating issues related to a lack of funding, location and other obstacles and
building awareness and regional capabilities to prepare for, respond to and recover from a CCTA
event. It facilitates regional sustainment, resilience and cost effectiveness through multi -
jurisdictional voluntary investment and sharing of resources including training, facilities and
equipment. The Train the Trainer approach inherent in this project mitigates these issues by
equipping personnel with the skills necessary to provide training that educates partners to build
on the capabilities developed in this project. This will allow more classes to be offered in
convenient locations and will increase access by smaller or under resourced jurisdictions that are
currently prevented from participating due to proximity, cost or other related impediments.
Without this funding and the implementation of this project, Southeast Florida will be precluded
from executing region wide proactive multi -disciplinary CCTA type training and exercises for
affected municipalities that do not receive SHGP funding. It will be vulnerable to potential loss
of life, financial distress and other negative effects of CCTA. Southeast Florida is the largest and
most densely populated region in the state, with more than 33% of Florida's population and
critical infrastructure. Florida's SHGP allocation formula fails to take into account the region's
15
SOUTHEAST FLORIDA C0.1IPLE"X C'OOR1)I.VATEI) TERRORIST ,ATTAC'K INITIATIVE
shifting population associated with tourism. These fluctuations increase the region's risk
environment from CCTA incidents.
13. HOW REGIONAL APPROACH ENHANCES PROJECT EFFECTIVENESS
Emergency preparedness is achieved by planning, training, equipping and exercising the
emergency response organization as mirrored in this project (https://training.fema.gov/). The
regional approach for this project will engage multi -disciplined regional partners in training and
exercising together. This collaborative approach will ensure partners are familiar with their
respective roles in planning for, preventing, and responding to a CCTA event. This regional
approach builds on the network of existing partnerships established more than ten years ago
through the Miami UASI and SERDSTF, to increase organizational readiness and minimize the
adverse impact of CCTA events by means of active responses to protect the health and safety of
individuals and functioning of physical structures. The cooperation between partners will help
to achieve practical and coherent results and will permit a deeper collaboration in critical areas
of intelligence and information sharing. Through targeted training to counter CCTA events, this
regional approach will increase the capacity of regional partners. The uniformity in project
implementation with the presence of control and efficient monitoring makes the regional
strategy work. It will avoid issues individual partners have related to logistics and lack of potential
to execute the planned training and exercises. This project facilitates the spirit of cooperation
and regional preparedness among jurisdictions and entities in Southeast Florida.
This project will clearly address identified gaps by developing effective and responsive regional
training and exercises. Training will ensure that a cadre of instructors is available region wide on
an ongoing basis to educate personnel on the capabilities developed in this project. Table top
exercises will stimulate discussion of various issues related to gaps in the hypothetical CCTA event
and will be used to assess plans, policies and procedures or assess types of systems needed to
guide the prevention of, response to and recovery from the event. The CCTA full scale exercise
will address identified gaps to increase regional preparedness and resilience by exposing
personnel to scenarios designed to close these gaps. Participants will improve their capabilities
by using procedures planned for real -world events, which will ensure the region has the best
possible contingency plans in place to respond to a CCTA. By utilizing the regional approach
modeled by the Southeast Regional Domestic Security Task Force, this project is able to support
multi -jurisdictional & multi -discipline collaborations to address identified CCTA response gaps.
Project partners are pledging resources, personnel, time and expertise to guarantee the success
of this project. Cost effectiveness has been achieved by many of the partners committing to
participating at no -cost and by volunteering the use of facilities and sites for the exercises and to
conduct trainings.

January 19, 2017
Dear Members of the Southeast Regional Domestic Security Task Force (SERDSTF),
The event at Fort Lauderdale Airport on Friday, January 6, 2017, highlighted the
necessity for a cooperative regional and multi -discipline preparedness, response, and
recovery. The Southeast Regional Domestic Task Force functions as a structure for all of
our members to meet, train, exercise and equip ourselves. Most importantly, the system
functions as a way to cross-pollinate ideas and forge personal trust. The cross -discipline
response to the vile attack on the Fort Lauderdale Airport demonstrated the continuing
need to work together, identify gaps in our capabilities, and offer our unique capabilities
and expertise to a common goal.
Going forward the SERDSTF will continue to pinpoint best practices and fill the gaps
that were identified during the events on January 6th. We will engage with all of the
disciplines to assure that critically needed missions and roles are identified and filled in
both the initial response to a terrorist attack and the critical stages in the aftermath. We
will engage with our grant partners of the State Homeland Security (SHSP) Grant and the
Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) to assure we remain a coordinated and successful
region.
In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security offered a new opportunity known as the
Grant to Prepare Communities for Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attacks. The
SERDSTF and the South Florida UASI are submitting a mutual plan that will include
partners from each of the region's disciplines, along with our airports and seaports, to
demonstrate our coordinated efforts. The final plan will be reviewed and endorsed by the
Chair and Co -Chair of the SERDSTF.
We recognize, appreciate and applaud the efforts of every discipline that responded to the
Fort Lauderdale Airport. Please continue to support the SERDSTF by providing fresh
input and ideas.
Best Regards,
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, Chair

On behalf of The Public Health Trust dba Jackson Health System (JHS), I am pleased to express our
support and commitment as a community partner for the City of Miami Fire Rescue's application to the
Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency. If awarded, the grant will
improve the ability of the City and its regional partners to prepare for, prevent, and respond to complex
coordinated terrorist attacks.
The City of Miami is equipped to lead this South Florida regional effort to better prepare our vulnerable
communities for a terrorist attack. In light of the recent tragedies in Florida at the Orlando nightclub and
the Fort Lauderdale airport, it is critical that the regional partnership under the leadership of the City of
Miami obtain funding to train members of the community and implement a variety of exercises on a
multi jurisdictional scale to increase public safety.
JHS pledges to participate as a community partner in identifying gaps, planning, training, and
participating in exercises in support of the above objectives. The proposed project will serve to enhance
our capability to carry -out our mission as the safety -net hospital in the event ofa terrorist attack. JHS is
an academic health system with a public healthcare mission and partners with the University of Miami
Miller School of Medicine to provide care to many of the 2.69 million residents throughout the nearly
2,000 square mile county.
Miami -Dade County's Emergency Management Plan has designated JHS as a Critical Infrastructure and
First Responder. JHS is prepared to serve the injured and takes an all -hazards approach in its training and
preparation so the emergency preparedness response teams are able to handle chemical, radiological,
biological, nuclear, or explosive attacks, in addition to mass casualty events, natural disasters, and
pandemic infectious diseases.
Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) is the only Level 1 trauma facility in the
County and served 4,179 adult and pediatric patients (FY14-15). In May 2016, Jackson. South Community
Hospital opened a Level LI trauma center to cover injured residents in south Miami -Dade. The Burn
Center is one of the leading burn treatment facilities in the nation. It is the only one in South Florida with
a reported 4,540 inpatient visits and 4,817 outpatient visits. The Poison Control Center is only one of
three in the state, is open 24/7/365, and handled 50,150 calls in FYI5-16. As part of its emphasis on
serving the injured amid a mass casualty incident involving any chemical or radiological contamination,
JHS has decontamination units at its three main facilities: Jackson Memorial Hospital, Jackson North
Medical Center and Jackson South Community Hospital.

As healthcare leaders in the community, it is our duty and our privilege to support any and initiatives that

RE; FY 2016 Program to Prepare Communities for Complex Coordinated
Terrorist Attacks
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to support the City of Miami's proposal for the FY 2016 Program
to Prepare Communities for Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attacks grant
application. It is our understanding that the monies, if awarded, will be
utilized by the City of Miami Department of Fire -Rescue in collaboration with
regional partners to improve the region's ability to prepare for, prevent, and
respond to complex terrorist attacks.
The City of Miami is equipped to lead this South Florida regional effort to
better prepare South Florida against terrorist attacks. In light of the recent
tragedies Florida has experienced in both Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale, less
than a year apart, it is critical that the City of Miami obtain the funding
necessary to implement activities on an expansive, multi -jurisdictional scale
to increase public safety.
The Healthcare Emergency Response Coalition, a program of the Palrn Beach
County Medical Society Services, looks forward to working in close
partnership with the City of Miami and all other regional partners within this
program. As HERC continues to integrate with other partners, it promotes
preparedness through standardized practices and fosters better
communication on community/regional-wide emergency planning, response
and recovery.
As leaders in the community, it is our duty to support any and all initiatives
that keep our residents and visitors safe. We commend the City of Miami's
proactive efforts to make Miami and all jurisdictions throughout our region
better prepared to protect and serve the public interest.

against terrorist attacks. In light of the recent tragedies Florida has experienced in both Orlando and Ft.
Lauderdale, Tess than seven months apart, it is critical that the City of Miami obtain the funding necessary
to implement activities on an expansive, multi -jurisdictional scale to increase public safety.
Broward County's Port Everglades Department looks forward to working in close partnership with the City
of Miami and all other regional partners within this program. This partnership will benefit Port Everglades
due to the overall improvement in multi -agency preparedness for response to terrorist attacks and other
similar crisis responses. As the world's third largest cruise ship port with over 50.000 passengers passing
through the port on a busy day, our intent is to use a portion of the grant funding to focus on Bleeding
Control for the Injured (BOON) training and equipment for non -tactical law enforcement officers,
firefighters, security personnel, and civilian employees of port users using a train -the -trainer format. This
training will also be made available to other seaports and airports in the region.
As leaders in the community, it is our duty to support any and all initiatives that keep our residents and
visitors safe. We commend the City of Miami's proactive efforts to make Miami and all jurisdictions
throughout our region better prepared to protect and serve the public interest.
