Full-Text Search – This application allows for full text search using all words, any words, exact phrase or an expression. For example, a full text search for “Carlson Center” across all different document types could yield agenda packets, minutes, resolutions, etc. containing that phrase. Note: This method may not be 100% accurate due to the nature of OCR, which is the process of converting images of text into machine readable text. And / Or – Above and to the right of the full text search index field are the And/Or selection buttons. This is to allow users to search by a combination of index fields and the full text search, or just one or the other. NAVIGATING QUERY RESULTS AND INDIVIDUAL RECORDS NAVIGATING QUERY RESULTS Once search criteria is entered, the user selects the RUN button to reveal query results. Query results can be sorted by ascending or descending order by clicking any index field at the top of each column. For example, a query for all minutes and resolutions for the year 2025 will yield 80 results. You can sort the 80 records by Board and Commission, Meeting Date, etc. To open a document in the query results, double click anywhere on the row containing the document. Alternately, click on the blue circle icon and select “Open”. To preview a document without opening it, hover over the Page Icon in the second column on the left side of the page. NAVIGATING INDIVIDUAL RECORDS Documents will show page previews on the left of the screen. You can navigate through pages by clicking on the page previews or by selecting the blue arrow at the top left of the screen. Users can move through the query results by clicking on the blue arrows to the right of the screen. At the top right of the screen are options to Email, Export or Print a document. HOW OFTEN ARE NEW RECORDS ADDED? New records are added throughout the week. A general timeline for each document to be uploaded to the database is below Agenda Packet - one week after the meeting Action and Recommendation Memos – three business days following the meeting Approved Minutes and Resolutions – 1 to 2 weeks after approval or adoption Audio/Visual – one week after the meeting Adopted Rules and Procedures - 1 - 2 weeks after adoption Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law - 1 - 2 weeks after adoption Quasi-Judicial and Appeal Correspondence - 1 - 2 weeks after the hearing or appeal date SEARCH TIPS Wildcard Search – allows users to search an index field using partial information. Wildcard searches will return all records that have a matching phrase within the index field. For example, enter 03/*/2010 if you aren’t sure which day in March 2010 you’re looking for. Expressions – Next to the index fields are buttons allowing for expressions in a query – both a Range Search and a List Search Range Search – Allows users to enter a date range. Enter the range, click OK and your search criteria will be entered into the field. Click RUN to search. For example, users could search for a specific document type such as minutes and enter a date range for an entire calendar year. List Search – Allows user to enter in a list of field values. Enter the range, click OK and your search criteria will be entered into the field. Click RUN to search. For example, users could search for a specific document type such as Agenda Packets from years 2016, 2018, and 2020.

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Review
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) | Fairbanks North Star Borough, AK Skip to Main Content Home Government Departments Emergency Operations Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Review Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) The Fairbanks North Star Borough Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) provides the framework for how our community prepares for, responds to, and recovers from emergencies and disasters. It outlines the Borough’s coordinated approach to protecting lives, property, the environment, and essential services during events ranging from wildfires and severe winter storms to floods, public health emergencies, and technological hazards. The CEMP is an “all-hazards” plan designed to support the entire community—residents, businesses, partner agencies, and local jurisdictions. It establishes roles and responsibilities, identifies critical response functions, and aligns Borough operations with state and federal emergency management standards. To ensure the plan remains current and effective, the Borough updates the CEMP regularly and invites public review and input. Community feedback helps strengthen preparedness, reflect local values and needs, and improve resilience across Interior Alaska. Below is access to the full CEMP, including the Basic Plan, Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), Functional Support Functions (FSFs), and Hazard-Specific Functions (HSFs), along with opportunities to submit comments or recommendations.
