AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
A request for a public workshop to gather input from the State Emergency Management, South
Florida Regional Planning Council, the National Weather Service, Local Emergency
Management and Municipalities regarding hurricane evacuation.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
To review present position of Monroe County and accepted model for evacuation purposes and
clearance times using present methodology. Although a proposal for phased evacuation was brought
before the Planning Commission and Board of County Commission, NEVER was input sought from
Emergency Management and/or the National Weather Service. Presently the 18 mile stretch – Jewfish
Creek Bridge is under construction and more than likely will not be finished during hurricane season
of ’07 – for reduced evacuation time based upon “local assumptions accepted as fact” is clearly an
irresponsible acceptance on the part of the Department of Community Affairs.
