BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
Charlotte County maintains multiple critical public facilities that serve essential emergency management and disaster response functions during storm and severe weather events. These facilities operate as general population safe rooms, Disaster Recovery Centers, Mobile Registration Intake Centers, community information hubs, cooling and charging stations, and post-storm safe room locations. In addition, certain facilities may serve as staging areas for mutual aid operations and host facilities for neighboring jurisdictions during emergency response efforts. Collectively, these sites provide sheltering and support services to thousands of residents during emergencies. Reliable generator backup power is essential to ensure continuity of operations and the uninterrupted delivery of critical public safety and community support services during power outages and disaster events.
