Abstract:

This dataset contains mobile home and RV facilities inspected by the Florida Department of Health. This program includes approximately 5,500 mobile home parks, lodging and recreational vehicle parks, and recreational camps in Florida. The objective of this program is to minimize the risk of injury and illness in this residential environment. The objective is accomplished through routine inspections of these parks and camps ensuring the residents' risks for disease from an environmental origin are minimized. Mobile homes, lodging and recreational vehicle parks, and recreational camps are licensed annually by the Department of Health through Florida's 67 county health departments, in accordance with Chapter 64E-15, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The county health departments provide direct services in the operational aspect of the program through routine inspections, plan reviews, educational programs, and enforcement actions. This is an update to the mhrv_mar18 layer.

Purpose:

The dataset was created to serve as base information for use in GIS
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Supplemental_Information:

Inspections of these facilities focus on the following: 1) proper sewage disposal
to minimize the risk of diseases such as hepatitis, salmonella, and shigella; 2), safe
drinking water to minimize the risks of diseases such as giardia and cryptosporidium;
3) safe solid waste collection and disposal to minimize rat and roach infestations,
as well as reservoirs for mosquitoes and associated diseases such as West Nile Virus,
Dengue, St. Louis and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, eliminate vectors that transmit
rabies and diseases associated with ticks. Also of concern is a safe and disease
free swimming pool, where applicable.

The county health departments receive and investigate environmental health and
sanitation complaints about these facilities. The county health departments provide
complainants with report findings and corrective actions taken.

Process_Description:

The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process:
- Downloaded the dataset from FDOH on 5/10/2018 using this link:
  http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/gis/gis-data.html
  (original dataset in shapefile format and in the WGS 1984 geographic
  coordinate system).
- Dataset projected into the FGDL Albers HPGN projection using
  WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida.
- Dataset clipped to Florida, using the FGDL cntbnd_sep15 layer, removing
  extraneous features.
- DESCRIPT field added based on the COMPANYNAM field. Any records with
  no data in the COMPANYNAM field had their DESCRIPT field calculated as
  'NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE'.
- FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded
  from source.
- Removed the field "SepticAppl" due to lack of data.
- The longest record for each field was found and field character lengths
  were shortened to the appropriate shortest length possible.
- Uppercased fields and records in the dataset.
- Layer name changed from Mobile_Home_Parks_2018.shp to mhrv_mar18.shp.
