Abstract:
This polygon GIS data set visually represents the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Law Enforcement, Bureau of Emergency Response (BER) Districts. The Bureau of Emergency Response District boundaries are based on the counties that each BER Office serves. The data set was created from FMRI's 1:24000 counties data set, which was attributed to include the BER district name and then DISSOLVEd on that name. Attributes were added to include contact information for each district. The extensions of county boundaries into water may be arbitrary. These data are for cartographic use only; they are not intended for use as legal boundaries.
Purpose:
This data set represents the boundaries of Florida's BER for cartographic purposes. These data were developed specifically for the Florida Marine Spill Analysis System (FMSAS) maintained by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI).

Process Step:

Process Description: The Florida 1:24k county boundaries were extended to the State waters line using ArcInfo. County boundaries offshore are arbitrary. Each county was attributed with the BER district name. The coverage was then DISSOLVEd based on the BER_DIST attribute to create regions. Additional attributes were added to indicate address and contact information for each district office.
