This Emergency Operations Center and Fire Rescue Communications / Dispatch Center Facility, which was named the Clay County Emergency Services Complex, is designed based on the enhanced hurricane and redundancy criteria of the HMGP Grant from the State of Florida, Division of Emergency Management.

The $5.2 million facility is an approximately 26,000 square foot, 2-story concrete tilt wall structure, consisting of 17,000 square feet of Emergency Management related departments and 9,000 square feet of Communications and Dispatch related space housing 12 call takers and dispatch positions.  The building is designed to withstand winds of up to 160 mph as well as an impact level equal to tornado force projectiles.  Redundancy for water, sanitary, electrical power, UPS, IT data and communications systems allow operations without any outside utility service for 72 hours and beyond for 171 occupants.

The Osceola County Joint Communications and Emergency Operations Center Facilities include a 2-story, 45,000 square foot Joint Communications and Emergency Operations facility, a 3,400 square foot single story Sheriff’s Command Vehicle and Equipment Storage structure, and a three level 300 car parking garage. 

Departments included in the Joint Communications and Emergency Operations Center are IT, Consolidated Communications, Communications Department, the Emergency Management / EOC Department and the Traffic Management Center Operations. 

The 130,000 sf Sunrise Public Safety Complex provides the City a secure, storm-hardened, state-of-the-art technologically sophisticated center for Police and Fire Rescue Services.  A five-story Public Safety Building houses the entire operations of the Police Department’s 300 employees, and includes Joint-use Broward County/City of Sunrise 911 Communications Center (PSAP), Municipal Emergency Operations Center, City-wide Management Information Services (M.I.S.) Data Center, an indoor eight-lane Firing Range, and Fire-Rescue Administration/Training Facilities.  Also located on the site with direct access to the City’s main traffic arterial is the two-story Fire Station No. 72.  Both buildings are served by a Central Energy Plant which provides 100% redundancy to all critical infrastructure components, ensuring that the facilities remain operational during and immediately after a natural disaster or man-made incident
