HURRICANE FLOYD AFTERACTION
Storm Tracking
Hurricane Floyd originated off the coast of Africa as a tropical storm. As it continued to transverse the
Atlantic Ocean, it became a major Category 4 Storm. The wind speeds of this major storm increased to a
sustained 155 mph while continuing a northwest movement that later threatened the Florida East Coast. As the
storm showed no signs of weakening, and the forecasters expressed difficulties with predictions due to the
storm size and strength, the coastal communities began to show interest. The storm maintained its strength and a
northwest track that required a need for the largest evacuation in the history of Florida. As Hurricane Floyd
narrowed in on Florida, it was at one projected to make landfall near the Brevard/Volusia County line with
sustained winds of 138 mph. On the evening of 09/14/99 (Tuesday), forecasters announced that a trough from
the north had arrived and would steer Hurricane Floyd to the north. This sudden change in direction would now
spare the Florida coast from a direct landfall. As this hurricane that was reported to be 600 miles wide continued
to pass 125 miles off the coast, it sent sustained winds measured at 41 mph and gusts of up to 69 mph to our
community. The storm continued north later making landfall in North Carolina. The storm had claimed 70 lives
(47 in North Carolina alone) and is responsible for over 70 million dollars in personal property damage.
Evacuation Process
The Volusia County Emergency Operations Center (VCEOC) began partial activation on the morning of
09/13/99 (Monday) to discuss preparatory plans of full VCEOC activation, school closings and evacuation
times. Later that day it was announced that evacuations would be required for residents in the beachside area,
low lying areas, mobile homes and manufactured homes. On the morning of 09/14/99 (Tuesday) at 6:15 a.m.
the evacuation order was issued by the VCEOC. The Police Department implemented the evacuation order and
reported task completion by 9:00 a.m. It was also noticed that several residents had heeded the warning and
evacuated the evening before to dodge the anticipated traffic congestion. At 8:00 a.m. the City Staff met and
was advised of the potential threat and the inability of the city to provide safe shelter for all of the city
employees. While emergency service personnel and selected directors were requested to stay, the remaining city
employees were directed to return home and prepare for evacuation. As shelters throughout the county began to
fill, our staff maintained updated shelter availability for the many residents that either phoned or stopped by for
the information. As late afternoon approached, the river tide continued to rise and rainfall began to occur. The
Edgewater Emergency Operations Center (EEOC) Staff was concerned with potential flooding of Riverside
Drive and started to closely monitor conditions. At 4:30 p.m. information was received from the VCEOC that
current tracking models indicated the possibility of winds excessive of 100 mph and a strong storm surge. The
EEOC Staff had agreed it was in the best interest of our residents to initiate an evacuation of everything east of
Ridgewood Avenue. The evacuation request was tasked to the Police Department and later reported completed
by 5:30 p.m.
Response/Recovery
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on the morning of 09/15/99 (Wednesday) the winds had subsided enough
to allow emergency employees the opportunity to initiate a rapid damage assessment of the city. The assessment
found that the winds had displaced several trees and carports. The winds also disabled electrical power to
several homes and wastewater lift stations. Although we were appropriately staffed, the assessment teams were
fortunate not to locate any human entrapment, casualties or fatalities. At approximately 10:30 a.m. city
personnel that had not evacuated began arriving at the EEOC to obtain task assignments from appropriate
supervisors. The recovery period was appropriately coordinated to achieve the opening of all roadways for the
return of evacuees before 1:30 p.m. Environmental Services utility personnel had also began to coordinate a
plan to supply temporary power utilizing generators to the affected lift stations. The lift stations did not have
electrical power restored until late the following day. This inconvenience created the need for personnel to work
throughout the evening juggling the sole generator between several lift stations.
Damage Assessment
Although we did not receive the degree of wind events as initially anticipated, residents of Edgewater
did experience a significant amount of property damage. By 10:00 a.m. 09/15/99 (Wednesday) emergency
services personnel had initiated their rapid assessment to survey the damage and assess the need for additional
resources. The assessments were completed by sending several emergency service personnel in apparatus to 4
pre - established zones within the city. The personnel were instructed to canvas their assigned zone and document
their findings on the assessment form on which they were previously trained. It was determined that initial
recovery could be handled with available resources within the city. The initial rapid assessment found damage
to 215 residents (147 site built homes and 68 mobile homes) and 24 businesses. City facilities received minor
damage with some roof leakage in the City Hall Complex and the office building at the West Turgot ballfields.
The EEOC staff estimated that approximately $275,000 in damages to property occurred as a result of this
minor event.

Areas For Improvement
Although the incident could have been much more complex if the storm hadn't moved further from our
coast, the staff was pleased with the coordination of the operation. As we review any operation of this duration
or magnitude, seldom are we unable to identify areas that we could not enhance. Listed below are areas or items
that staff has identified to direct additional attention for improvements.
1. Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan CEMP: We are currently in the process of updating
the existing plan that will reflect the departmental changes and their responsibilities. The new plan
will also incorporate Emergency Support Functions (ESF) that are consistent with the state and
county EOC' s. It is our goal to have the new plan completed by the end of this calendar year. Once it
is completed, we plan to train all city employees on it prior to the year 2000 hurricane season.
2. Employee Communications: Although the Department Directors were routinely briefed on the
potential threat, I am not confident that all city employees received consistent information. It also
may be beneficial to have the ability to contact employees that have evacuated the area.
3. Volusia County Emergency Operations Center (VCEOC): Currently we only have two volunteer
personnel (Chief Joe Daly and Christopher Balmer) trained as municipal representatives for the
VCEOC. The municipal representative is our liaison for the state, county and other municipalities
should we need additional resources to support our operation. Once the EOC is activated they are
requested to work rotating 12 hour shifts. If by chance either representative is on vacation or ill it
may create a hardship on our ability to effectively staff the position.
4. Edgewater Emergency Operation Center (EEOC): The EEOC was established at the Alan R. Thomas
Water Treatment Plant located at S.R. 442 at I -95. The site was selected based on its structural
stability and its distance from the pre - calculated storm surge zones. At the time the structure was
designed and constructed, there was certainly no foresight that it would ever serve as a temporary
emergency operations center. The training room located on the first floor was spacious for
operational coordination, but lacked enough telephone lines or a television with good enough
reception to help track the latest updates. If long term operations or sheltering is expected, it would
be recommended to enhance ability to prepare food. Temporary sleeping quarters would also have to
be established using several air mattresses.
5. Employee Shelter: During the preparatory stages of this event it was evident that we do not have
adequate facilities to provide safe shelter for the employees. Several emergency personnel were
required to shelter in Fire Station #57 which was also utilized as a Field Coordination Office. Due to
the lack of shelter facilities we were required to encourage the evacuation of key employees that
would be required for the recovery phase. The idea was raised during city staff debriefing to research
the possibility of negotiating a partnership with the Fire/Rescue Association to harden their proposed
activity building that will be constructed on Hibiscus Drive. With the ability to shelter many
employees in a single location, we would eliminate the fragmentation of similar operations and
enhance the ability to support other ESF's along with the sharing of resources and information.
6. Community Communications: The city's new website was updated with current information as the
storm became a threat, but we were unable to maintain updates once the crew was evacuated from
the main fire station. We are implementing plans that would allow for updates to be made from other
remote locations. We will also research additional avenues to provide accurate communications to
the residents as it relates to the City of Edgewater activity.
7. Disaster Assessment: The Rapid Assessment Report that was completed of the entire city within a
couple of hours gave the EEOC an overall idea of the damages that occurred. This information was
utilized to establish a recovery plan and determine if additional resources would be required.
Currently, city staff has few employees trained to do any type of accurate disaster assessment. The
key to recovery and reimbursement for damages after a disaster is the ability for our city to make a
rapid and accurate assessment of the damages that have occurred. Depending on the scope of the
event, the county may not have the resources to deploy to aid all municipalities sustaining damage.
We need to be independently capable of performing this function. The faster we get it done, the
sooner we can request resources for our EOC. The longer we have to wait the further down the
waiting list we will be for resources everyone will be needing. If we can streamline the disaster
assessment process by training more staff to accurately perform this task, we will reduce the amount
of time our citizens will be without critical services and the amount of time to secure resources that
may be in short supply post disaster.
Hurricane Floyd was an excellent drill for any larger disaster to come. These areas of improvement to our
current system will enhance the ability to provide services pre, during and post disaster that our citizens expect
and deserve.

316.0085 Skateboarding; inline skating; freestyle bicycling; definitions;
liability.- -
(1) The purpose of this section is to encourage governmental owners or lessees
of property to make land available to the public for skateboarding, inline
skating, and freestyle bicycling. It is recognized that governmental owners or
lessees of property have failed to make property available for such activities
because of the exposure to liability from lawsuits and the prohibitive cost of
insurance, if insurance can be obtained for such activities. It is also recognized
that risks and dangers are inherent in these activities, which risks and dangers
should be assumed by those participating in such activities.
(2) As used in this section, the term:
(a) "Governmental entity" means:
1. The United States, the State of Florida, any county or municipality, or any
department, agency, or other instrumentality thereof.
2. Any school board, special district, authority, or other entity exercising
governmental authority.
(b) "Inherent risk" means those dangers or conditions that are characteristic of,
intrinsic to, or an integral part of skateboarding, inline skating, and freestyle
bicycling.
(3) This section does not grant authority or permission for a person to engage
in skateboarding, inline skating, or freestyle bicycling on property owned or
controlled by a governmental entity unless such governmental entity has
specifically designated such area for skateboarding, inline skating, and freestyle
bicycling.
(4) No governmental entity or public employee shall be liable to any person
who voluntarily participates in skateboarding, inline skating, or freestyle
bicycling for any damage or injury to property or persons which arises out of a
person's participation in such activity, and which takes place in an area
designated for such activity.
(5) This section does not limit liability which would otherwise exist for any of
the following:
(a) The failure of the governmental entity or public employee to guard against
or warn of a dangerous condition of which a participant does not and cannot
reasonably be expected to have notice.
(b) An act of gross negligence by the governmental entity or public employee
that is the proximate cause of the injury.
http: / /www.leg. state. fl. us /citizen/documents /statutes /StatuteBrowser99 /index.... /SEC0085.HT 9/24/99
The Florida Statutes Page 2 of 2
(c) The failure of a governmental entity that provides a designated area for
skateboarding, inline skating, or freestyle bicycling to obtain the written
consent, in a form acceptable to the governmental entity, from the parents or
legal guardians of any child under 17 years of age before authorizing such child
to participate in skateboarding, inline skating, or freestyle bicycling in such
designated area, unless that child's participation is in violation of posted rules
governing the hours of authorized use of the designated area.
Nothing in this subsection creates a duty of care or basis of liability for death,
personal injury, or damage to personal property. Nothing in this section shall be
deemed to be a waiver of sovereign immunity under any circumstances.
(6) Nothing in this section shall limit the liability of an independent
concessionaire, or any person or organization other than a governmental entity
or public employee, whether or not the person or organization has a contractual
relationship with a governmental entity to use the public property, for injuries or
damages suffered in any case as a result of the operation of skateboards, inline
skates, or freestyle bicycles on public property by the concessionaire, person, or
organization.
(7)(a) Any person who participates in or assists in skateboarding, inline
skating, or freestyle bicycling assumes the known and unknown inherent risks in
these activities irrespective of age, and is legally responsible for all damages,
injury, or death to himself or herself or other persons or property which result
from these activities. Any person who observes skateboarding, inline skating, or
freestyle bicycling assumes the known and unknown inherent risks in these
activities irrespective of age, and is legally responsible for all damages, injury,
or death to himself or herself which result from these activities. No
governmental entity which sponsors, allows, or permits skateboarding, inline
skating, or freestyle bicycling on its property is required to eliminate, alter, or
control the inherent risks in these activities.
(b) While engaged in skateboarding, inline skating, or freestyle bicycling,
irrespective of where such activities occur, a participant is responsible for doing
all of the following:
1. Acting within the limits of his or her ability and the purpose and design of
the equipment used.
2. Maintaining control of his or her person and the equipment used.
3. Refraining from acting in any manner which may cause or contribute to
death or injury of himself or herself, or other persons.
Failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall constitute
negligence.
(8) The fact that a governmental entity carries insurance which covers any act
described in this section shall not constitute a waiver of the protections set forth
in this section, regardless of the existence or limits of such coverage.

Re: Purchase R commendation - Competitive Proposals
1999 Property, Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance
BACKGROUND
This summer the City requested competitive proposals for the October 1, 1999 renewal of its
property, liability and workers compensation insurance program. Proposals were to have been
received on Tuesday, September 14, but the date was changed to Tuesday, September 21 because
the City was closed on September 14 due to Hurricane Floyd. We received a copy of each pro-
posal on Thursday, September 23.
Waters Risk Management prepared the Request for Proposals and reviewed the submissions
when received. We specialize in independent risk management consulting to Florida public enti-
ties, we do not sell or broker insurance and we are not affiliated with agents or insurers_
PROPOSALS RECEIVED
Three proposers responded to the City's RFP. Summary details of the proposals are on attached
spreadsheets. Proposers include:
Proposer Location
Florida League of Cities Orlando
Jennings Insurance Co. New Smyrna Beach
Risk Management Associates, Inc. Altamonte Springs
PROPOSAL EVALUATION
The proposals were evaluated based on:
Cost Service
Coverage Insurer Stability
Specific recommendations are often a matter of judgement as to which proposals are best. In our
opinion, this purchase recommendation is practical based on the proposals received, and the costs
and options given.

1999 Property, Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance...page 2
PURCHASE RECOMMENDATION
Property
Purchase commercial property, inland marine, business income and data processing equipment
insurance from the Coregis Insurance Company, as proposed by Risk Management Associates,
Inc. The windstorm deductible is the greater of 1% or $25,000, up to $100,000. The policy also
includes extensions of coverage such as $100,000 for paved surfaces, $500,000 for property un-
der construction and $100,000 for accounts receivable.
Boiler and Machinery
Accept the lowest cost proposal and purchase coverage from Coregis Insurance Company as pro-
posed by Risk Management Associates.
Crime
Renew coverage with Coregis. The City currently purchases $250,000 of faithful performance
coverage on all employees, but we recommend a $500,000 limit, subject to a $5,000 deductible,
for only $306 additional cost.
We also recommend purchase of $500,000 excess coverage above the $500,000 primary limit,
for the Finance Director, Finance Department Administrative Assistant, and the City Clerk who
are involved with electronic funds transfers. Although we have no reason to suspect any problem
with these persons, we are routinely recommending such additional coverage to our public entity
clients because funds transfers in very large amount are very common, and the cost of the cover-
age is quite affordable.
Liability
Renewal with Coregis Insurance Company, with a $1,000,000 limit of liability and a $5,000 de-
ductible, is recommended. The insurance covers general liability, law enforcement liability and
automobile liability.
Automobile liability coverage is currently subject to a $100,000 per person/$200,000 per occur-
rence deductible, but we think a $5,000 deductible is a better buy. The premium dilierenve of
about $20,000 can be made up on a single auto liability claim.
Coregis also provides public official liability and employment practices liability insurance, on a
"claims made" basis. We recommend consideration of a quote for up- grading the coverage to an
"occurrence" basis, and we have asked for the amount of additional premium to make the im-
provement.
Workers Compensation
The lowest cost proposal, and the one we recommend, is the Preferred Government Insurance
Trust proposed by Risk Management Associates.
lent 'By: Waters Risk Management; 727 546 2712; Sep -27 -99 2:31PM; Page 4/4
1999 Property, Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance...page 3
We note that the recommended workers compensation insurance proposed by Risk Management
Associates is in a new government self - insurance pool, the Preferred Governmental Insurance
Program, however it is important to mention that the pool is 100% reinsured by the Coregis In-
surance Company, that has an A.M. Best rating of A IX.
Environmental Liability
Renewal with United Capitol Insurance Company proposed by Risk Management Associates is
recommended. The policy also covers the City's above and underground storage tanks which
have been insured on a separate policy.
Pension Fiduciary Liability
This coverage provides liability insurance for the City and the individuals that serve on the pen-
sion boards for claims for errors and omissions in the handling of the pension funds. We rec-
ommend renewal with Travelers Insurance Company, as proposed by the Jennings Insurance
Agency.
