All employees need to confirm with their departments whether they are Department Essential or EOC Essential.  All EOC Essential employees need to:

1. Log in to BlueBook (see information below) and ensure all of your contact information is correct 
2. Select a Disaster Role of primary interest 
3. Fill out the rest of the form to include critical skill and certification data

Disaster Roles

Click on any link below to find out more about that Disaster Role.

• Shuttering Program
• Traffic Control
• Shelter Staff 
• EOC Support Staff
• Call Center Operations
• POD's
• Regional Staging Areas 
• Mobile Assistance Teams
• Employee Welfare Teams 

Every attempt will be made to place employees in their expressed areas of interest, as selected in the BlueBook; however, they may be placed in the area of greatest need.  Please note that some departments have responsibility for staffing certain Disaster Roles and; therefore, may directly assign their employees to that role.  The default assignment for all DAEs is the Regional Staging Areas. 

BlueBook

What is the BlueBook? The "BlueBook" serves as:

1. A depository of employee information,
2. Employee management contact information, and
3. The DAE database.
County employees with access to a computer can update their personal information in the BlueBook at any time and as many times as needed.  The Department Preparedness Liaison (DPL) and Department Personnel Representative (DPR) have been given full access to their department's bluebook database.  The DPL and/or DPR has the capability to update employee's profile, emergency contact information, as well as generate reports.  The attached form  can be filled out by the employee and forwarded to the designated contact person within their department for entering data onto the Bluebook.   DPR Contacts
Updating your profile and emergency contact on the BlueBook is easy.  Just follow the steps below:

• Click on the BlueBook link: http://intra.miamidade.gov/bluebook/. This will open the application in your web browser.
