Logistical Systems and Deployable Resources

Contact: Florida Health

Logistics is the coordination of an operation or event involving people, facilities or supplies. To manage the flow, the Department of Health uses a variety of systems which are described below.

Logistical Systems

  • Everbridge is the online alerting and notification system used to keep Public Health staff and Partners informed of events of public health significance. Everbridge is also used to deploy ESF-8 Responders.
  • ReadyOp is the online system used to track deployed responders.
  • WebEOC is an online mission management system. When local resources are exhausted, Counties may request additional resources from the state. WebEOC manages those requests.
  • IRMS is the Inventory Resource Management System. IRMS is an online material management system used in conjunction with DOH state warehouses.

Deployable Resources

  • ESF-8 stands for Emergency Support Function 8: Public Health and Medical Services. It focuses on coordinating supplemental public health and medical support during emergencies, ensuring that the specific health needs of affected populations are met effectively. This includes collaboration with various government entities to address challenges posed by disasters or public health crises.
  • SNS is the Strategic National Stockpile. The federal government maintains the SNS which is large quantities of medicine and medical supplies to protect the public if there is a public health emergency (terrorist attack, flu outbreak, earthquake) severe enough to cause local supplies to run out. The Department of Health maintains a plan for utilizing the SNS in Florida and individual counties maintain plans for utilizing the assets locally.
  • Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Volunteers are individuals trained to respond to local Public Health and Medical events. Please use this registration information link if you are interested in volunteering.
