How the System Works

Truck Drivers

• Special Training Required – Hazardous Materials and

Terminal Operations

• Access Requirements
• Trucks Generally Owned by Commercial Carriers

Gas Stations – Contract vs. Spot Pricing

• Contract
• Between Supplier and Dealer
• Given Higher Priority when Supplies Constrained
• “Spot Market”
• Surplus Sold at a Discount
• Last to be Served when Supplies Constrained

Key Findings

Coordination

• Coordinate with Fuel industry to develop planning guide.
• Engage with trucking companies to develop emergency

staffing plan.

Assessment

• Explore sites for more fuel storage.
• Evaluate feasibility of adding more racks at port

terminals.

• Assess the feasibility of accessing fuel storage of other

public and private entities during an emergency.

• Evaluate option to use fuel trains as temporary storage

and dispensing facilities.

Key Findings

Response

• Create a public information plan to effectively communicate

fuel availability.

• Coordinate with southeastern states on pre-agreed upon

regional waivers for emergencies.

• Identify critical gas stations along evacuation routes.
• Coordinate with local emergency management officials to

develop a plan for orderly fuel service during emergencies.

• Promote and advocate for the development and use of renewable

energy resources and energy efficiency technologies

• Use available state and federal funds to develop and manage energy

efficiency, renewable energy, and energy education programs

• Produce an Annual Energy Report

17

Emergency Support Function (ESF) 12, Fuels

• ESF 12, Fuels involves close coordination with private sector providers of

transportation fuels such as propane, diesel fuel, and gasoline – The Florida Division of Emergency Management has primary responsibility to monitor and coordinate with the private sector to ensure that adequate supplies are available and deliverable for normal community functioning – The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Energy provides staffing support

Utilize Partnerships

27

iREV

• Collaborated with the National Association of State Energy Officials

and national stakeholders to develop iREV.

• iREV is a national effort to catalyze state and local acceptance and

deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure in preparing for and responding to manmade and natural disasters and emergency situations.

• Focuses on alternative fuels such as biodiesel (B100), propane,

natural gas, and electricity.

• iREV will educate, coordinate, and provide the emergency

management community with data, tools, and resources they need to make optimal fleet investment decisions in their jurisdictions. For more information: www.naseo.org/irev

28

• Using a $400,000 award from the U.S. DOE Clean Cities

to work with the Electrification Coalition and the Central Florida Clean Cities Coalition to promote Drive Electric Orlando.

• Drive Electric Orlando offers:

– An option to rent an electric vehicle in Orlando, Florida – Incentives for renting an electric vehicles including:

• VIP treatment at Epcot’s Test Track ride
• free valet parking,
• preferred parking spots,
• ample charging stations,
• free three-month membership to CLEARLane Access which

allows travelers to skip the identification check point at the airport and head straight to the physical screening

29

Drive Electric Orlando

• Program partners include:
• Since the program launched in October 2015:

– 1,708 electric vehicle rentals with over 385,000 miles driven. – Trained over 250 rental car company employees to help ensure renters have a seamless and superior rental experience.

30

Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership (BIP)

• Received a $15.2 million, Biofuels

Infrastructure Partnership award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

• Goal is to increase the availability of

infrastructure capable of dispensing higher blends of biofuels.

• Retrofits under this program began in

May 2016. From May 2016 through February 2018, there have been 247 blender pumps and four dedicated E85 pumps installed at a total of 61 fuel station locations in Florida.
