D. CONCEPT OF OPERATION <br /> 1. The Florida RACES Plan is divided into two (2) levels. These levels <br /> are the State RACES Plan and the County RACES Plan. <br /> 2. The State RACES Plan provides a mechanism for activation of a radio <br /> network, normally by high frequency single side band, between the <br /> State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and the County <br /> Emergency Operations Center (EOC). <br /> 3. The Indian River County RACES Plan provides a mechanism for <br /> activation of a radio network, within the county. Transmissions from <br /> predetermined locations in the county are passed to the EOC, <br /> normally on the two-meter amateur radio frequency range. <br /> 4. The State RACES Officer or his/her alternate, as a representative of <br /> FDEM, coordinates RACES activation within the State and with other <br /> States. <br /> 5. The State RACES Net Control Officer, or his/her alternate, assists <br /> FDEM State RACES Officer by conducting statewide tests, and <br /> coordinating priority of message handling on the State RACES net. <br /> E.
