50 One of the first basic needs is shelter Recovery activities will not happen overnight. Residents will need a dry place to live while lives are being re-built
51 FEMA Temporary Housing Sites were fast-tracked in Florida 14 Sites in Charlotte, Desoto, Hardee, Escambia, Santa Rosa, St. Lucie & Martin Counties Alternative Delivery Method (design-build) Average start to finish time was 6 weeks per site FEMA Temporary Housing
52 Many site constraints were overcome at the various sites around the state CHARLOTTE COUNTY SITE 100 Acre (+) site High ground water table Site raised several feet FEMA Temporary Housing

62 Preparing crews for hurricane response & recovery If your crews reside in a storm strike area Let them know you care Talk to them on a regular basis. Information from the outside will be difficult to obtain. Be a conduit for assistance information. Find ways to help them locate temporary housing, if needed. Remember, people in disaster areas may be without water, electricity, phone and gasoline for up to 2 weeks.
63 Preparing crews for hurricane response & recovery If your crews reside outside a storm strike area Prepare them for what they may encounter (total devastation) while responding. Have crews fully stocked with supplies (food, water, ice, first aid kits. Cell phones may not work have a plan to meet during the day if needed Invest in fix-a-flat by the caseload Chainsaws are worth about a million bucks (well, almost )
64 Before the storm Talk with community leaders & public works departments about how you might provide assistance Have appropriate credentials to enter a storm-damaged area. After a storm hits, it will likely be under military control. Without proper credentials, you may be turned back.
65 Pre-set way points can provide a Reflective disks set in right-of-way and intersections Visible from ground and air GPS d at the time of installation sense of direction Material costs are about $150 per unit
66 Neighborhood 5 Key Intersection GPS Points
67 Punta Gorda currently utilizes this technology These disks can save valuable time during hurricane response and recovery efforts.
68 Directions are readily available to disaster recovery responders. Police Department Hospital Public Works City Hall Fire Stations
69 Top off fuel inventory before the storm Most of Florida receives gasoline & diesel through its ports, which close before storm strikes.
70 Recognize up-front damage assessment teams will be hampered by No electrical power No phone service Debris in roadway No street signs
71 Mobil Pit Crews are a necessity With the amount of debris, nails and other sharp objects are in the roadways. Flat tires and broken windshields WILL happen.
72 Think outside the box for solutions One water provider had an active treatment facility, but the distribution system was down. Operations staff tapped the on-site 3- MGD ground storage tank with 2-inch pipe and manifold system.
73 Keep citizens informed. One island community couldn t immediately return. An interim government center was established offisland to keep residents informed and conduct business.
74 Evaluate the need for temporary housing Identify locations for temporary mobile home parks before the storm Establish communication with FEMA as soon as possible after the storm.
75 Make sure your EOC is well protected. Essential personnel will be located there during the storm. Recovery efforts will revolve around this location.
76 Have a electric power company representative located at the EOC It will improve your recovery effort coordination with other essential services. Traffic Hospitals Water/Sewer
77 Invest in your First-in Teams Well-trained staff Good equipment Understand that cell phones/land-line phones probably won t work.
78 Have outside or off-site resources Have a way to retrieve mapping of: Electrical grid Traffic signals Water system Sewer system Aerials
79 Establish partnerships with other agencies and communities Share lists of available equipment, such as: Generators Traffic signs Staffing Repair materials Vehicles
80 Know how to procure items Don t forget things such as: Refrigerated trucks for ice storage Fuel trucks for generators Electricians to keep those portable generators running
81 Debris removal will cause other problems Meet regularly with debris hauler Mark locations of water meters on pavement
82 On behalf of the Florida Chapter APWA, Thank you for this opportunity to speak on behalf of the Unsung Public Works Heroes that helped Florida to recover from the 2004 hurricane season.
