Anchor Guard assembles your Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan in the exact order AHCA lists it, walks your building to verify what the plan says is actually there, and keeps the binder current all year — so when the county, a state surveyor, or your board asks, you hand it over in one motion. We document. You sign. Your vendors repair.
Every licensed Florida assisted living facility must keep a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, built to AHCA Form 3180-5006, reviewed and submitted to county emergency management every year. Appendix G of that plan is your Emergency Environmental Control Plan under Rule 59A-36.025 — the generator, fuel, and cooled area an AHCA surveyor checks against your building under tag A0200. Does your building match your binder?
Plenty of services will write your plan from what you tell them over the phone. We build the binder in the exact order AHCA lists it, then walk your building and verify that what the plan says is actually there — the generator, the fuel, the cooled area, the agreements, the staff who have to run it. Then we keep it current all year.
Rule 59A-36.019 F.A.C. requires a written emergency management plan built to AHCA Form 3180-5006: four sections, eight appendices (A–H), every agreement with receiving facilities, transportation, and suppliers on file and updated annually, staff trained on their roles, and the plan exercised at least twice a year. County emergency management reviews and approves it. Appendix G is the Emergency Environmental Control Plan under Rule 59A-36.025 — alternate power, onsite fuel, a cooled area held at or below 81°F for 96 hours, a carbon monoxide alarm, and written procedures — and that is what a surveyor checks against the building.
Summarized from Rule 59A-36.019 F.A.C., Rule 59A-36.025 F.A.C., AHCA Form 3180-5006 (September 2023), and AHCA’s published surveyor regulation set for assisted living facilities. Requirements change — verify current text with AHCA and your county before relying on any summary, including this one.
A plan written over the phone repeats what you said. A surveyor reads your plan, then walks your building. So do we — before they do.
We prepare, verify, and keep the documentation. Your administrator stays the plan developer, your licensee signs the attestation, and county emergency management approves the plan. Your staff or your generator vendor operates the equipment — Anchor Guard does not operate the transfer switch or generator, does not run the load bank, and does not tighten, reset, or replace anything. The generator sufficiency letter must come from a professional engineer or a licensed electrical contractor; we’ll point you to one. We document what we observe; AHCA and county emergency management determine compliance.
Infrared thermal imaging of your emergency power equipment is available on request during a visit. It is delivered as a separate report for your own records — it is not something the rule requires, and it does not go into your plan.
Four ways in, depending on where you already are. Most facilities start at one and end at four. The program is the binder that stays current year-round — not a scramble before the county deadline or the surveyor’s visit.
One visit. Your emergency power plan (Appendix G) walked against your building, plus a check of plan currency and agreement dates. You get a dated findings list, every item tied to the rule or form line behind it.
Your current binder, line by line against AHCA Form 3180-5006 and against the building. You get the list of what is missing, out of date, or promised in the plan but not happening.
We assemble the full binder in AHCA’s order — tabbed, indexed to the page, agreements and letters templated and dated, Appendix G verified on site. Your administrator reviews it, your licensee signs it, it goes to the county.
Recurring monthly. Annual review package, agreement re-dating, exercise and training calendar, scheduled site visits, a monthly call, and the records held — ready when the county, a surveyor, or your board asks.
Anchor Guard prepares, verifies, and maintains emergency management documentation. It does not certify compliance. The facility’s administrator remains responsible for the plan, the licensee signs the Rule 59A-36.025 attestation, county emergency management is the final administrative authority for ALF emergency management plans, and AHCA determines compliance.
AHCA Form 3180-5006 lays out exactly what the county wants to see and in what order. We build it that way, tab by tab, so the reviewer and the surveyor find every item where they expect it.
Approval record, facility and licensee information, administrator, alternate, safety liaison, plan developer.
Hazard vulnerability analysis, site data (elevation, evacuation zone, flood zone), capacity, and resident dependencies.
Direction and control, staffing, emergency resources, communication, evacuation, receiving evacuees, and re-entry.
Training schedule, new-staff training, third-party providers, twice-yearly exercises, after-action reports.
The statutes, rules, and references the plan is built on.
Chain of command, key-role roster, and every emergency service contact.
Activation triggers and staff roles for each type of emergency.
Receiving facilities, transportation, and suppliers, signed and dated, updated annually.
Location map, primary and secondary evacuation routes, and the floor plan.
Your current approved fire safety plan, filed where the form puts it.
Alternate power, fuel, cooling, cooled area, CO alarm, and approval letter, verified on site.
AHCA emergency status database registration and the records the plan points to.
We document.
You sign.
Your administrator stays the plan developer and your licensee signs. We do the legwork, the line-by-line checking, and the record keeping. We don’t sell repairs, generators, or service contracts, so what we write down is an independent record, not a sales pitch.
Staff turn over, vendors change phone numbers, agreements pass their review date, the census shifts, and equipment gets replaced. The plan is due back to the county every year, and a significant change has to be submitted within 30 days. Most facilities rebuild the binder in a rush right before hurricane season. The program keeps it current the whole year instead.
Summarized from Rule 59A-36.019 F.A.C. and AHCA Form 3180-5006 (September 2023). Your county may add its own requirements. Anchor Guard does not certify compliance; county emergency management approves the plan and AHCA determines compliance.
Florida assisted living facilities in St. Johns, Duval, Clay, Nassau, and Flagler counties.
Owner-operated facilities where the administrator is also the plan developer, the scheduler, and the person the surveyor asks for.
Facilities too small for a full-time office, where the binder slides until hurricane season forces it.
One standard binder and one calendar across every building, so each plan is built and kept the same way.
Cited on emergency management or emergency power, with a surveyor coming back to verify the correction.
As a Navy Chief, Larry ran program management across multiple ships — programs inspected line by line against the reference, where the binder had to match the ship and failure wasn’t an option. A CEMP is the same kind of program: a reference, a binder, and a record that has to hold up when the inspector walks in. The same discipline goes into yours — thoroughly, honestly, and on the record. If something can’t be verified, it doesn’t go in your binder as verified.
The same independent, document-it-and-hand-it-off approach, applied to electrical equipment. We scan, measure, and record. Your electrician does the repairs.
Clamp-meter leakage measurement per slip and pedestal, GFPE trip verification, and a dated test record you can hand to an insurer or inspector. Measured with a leakage meter, not a thermal camera.
Energized, under normal load, no covers removed, no downtime. Switchgear, distribution, motors, and bearings, graded by severity with thermal and visible images side by side. For ALFs, available on request as a separate report.
An NFPA 70B-aligned maintenance program for commercial and multifamily property: asset register, condition ratings, intervals, and the audit trail behind them. Records held in the Compliance Portal.
Site-specific electrical safety and emergency power awareness sessions for staff and maintenance teams, delivered by a certified military instructor and Navy Chief. Attendance documented and dated for your training file.
NFPA 70B-2023 is an industry consensus standard and a recognized standard of care. It is not law in itself and is enforceable only where adopted by the authority having jurisdiction. Anchor Guard does not perform electrical repairs and does not certify compliance.
NEC 555.35(B) — where more than three receptacles supply shore power to boats, a listed leakage-current measurement device must be available and be used to determine leakage current from each boat using shore power. The listing requirement took effect January 1, 2026. Most marinas have no dated leakage record at all. Can you produce yours?
