State shifts WebEOC emergency management costs to counties
Summary
The state told counties over Memorial Day weekend it will stop paying for WebEOC — the system used to request hurricane resources — and will charge for accounts to access the state's system. Seminole County needs about $80,000 added to its budget mid-hurricane-season, and commissioners see it as the tip of an unfunded-mandate iceberg.
