As a backup, police and fire rescue vehicles equipped with public address <br />systems will move throughout the area advising residents of the protective <br />actions they should take based on the severity of the emergency in <br />accordance with the response agencies' established procedures. At night <br />or because of air-conditioned buildings, a vehicle with sirens should be <br />used to awaken or get the attention of residents and precede a second <br />vehicle which gives instructions by loudspeaker. If a toxic cloud is already <br />in the air, information contained in Media Release B, Figure 6-2, should <br />be given by loudspeaker at this time. <br />Boaters in the waters near affected facilities will be notified of the <br />emergency by loud speakers from boats and aircraft operated by the <br />Florida Marine Patrol, Florida Game/Fresh Water Fish Commission, <br />Indian River County Sheriff's Department, Vero Beach Police Department, <br />Indian River County Emergency Services Fire/Rescue Division, and U.S. <br />Coast Guard. <br />The public notification system may be activated for a potential emergency <br />and will be activated for a limited emergency or full emergency. Activation <br />of the public notification system should be accomplished within 15 <br />minutes after the decision is made to activate. Notification of the public <br />should occur between 15 to 45 minutes after activation. <br />Indian River County Emergency Plan for Hazardous Materials Page 33 <br />
