The ARC, as chartered by Congress in 1905, has responsibilities related to <br /> meeting human needs created by a disaster. The ARCs policies include <br /> "...a program of both emergency mass care and assistance to individuals <br /> with urgent and verified disaster-caused needs". <br /> C. ESF#6 activities will be coordinated through the EOC. The primary agency, <br /> and support agencies as necessary, will provide staff at the EOC and public <br /> shelters on a 24-hour basis, for the duration of ESF #6 activities. <br /> D. Any additional mass care resources required, which are beyond local <br /> capability, will be coordinated through ESF #6. All state and federal mass <br /> care responses to an event must be requested by and are subordinate to the <br /> ESF #6 operations. <br /> E. The ARC of Indian River County, as primary agency, will be responsible for <br /> registration, staffing,feeding, basic medical care and other logistical activities <br /> involved in shelter operations. <br /> F To ensure that appropriate confidentiality regulations are enforced, ESF #6 <br /> will not release confidential information to the general public. However, <br /> needs assessment information will be reported to ESF #5 (Information and <br /> Planning). Shelter occupants' information will be handled in accordance with <br /> Red Cross Disaster Welfare Inquiry procedures. <br /> Indian River County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Annex I - Page ESF#6-2 <br />
