 A. Executive Summary
My goal is to be an effective leader in the county and develop a strategic plan to ensure the safety of citizens
during natural disasters where flooding may be a problem. Currently, I am working on gathering information
regarding Hurricane Irma to asses our strategy at the moment.
 B. Hurricane Irma

Hurricane Irma was first detected August 30, 2017 and her path continued until September 12, 2017
(Weather Underground). Hurricane Irma is recorded as one of the strongest storms in history and was
considered a Category 5 storm for 3 consecutive days (Aisch, Pearce, Yourish).

Details for Indian River County (TC Palm):

14.14 inches of rain
Highest wind gust measured at 63 mph
Highest sustained winds measured at 40 mph
58, 247 customers with power outages (as of Monday September 11th)
0 deaths
Minimal beach erosion
Most flooding seen in Vero Lake Estates and Fellsmere
Storm surge unknown
C. Problems & Solutions
There are many things that can help the problem of flooding after storms. The Netherlands has some great
ideas for solutions to the problem of flooding. For example, they have built floodgates to keep out water that
they can shut in the case of a disaster (attn:). They even use public parks for emergency reservoirs and have
floating houses (attn:). While it can be very expensive, the structures last for 100 years, and ends up being
less expensive in the long run (attn:). I think Indian River County, and America as a whole should follow the
Netherlands initiative to be proactive in preventing floods and flooding damage.

 I. Costs
While I was unable to find a breakdown of costs for specific sources/aspects of the damage, I
was able to find a few different accounts of what the damages incurred from Hurricane Irma
may be.
Accuweather estimated damages from the wind, flooding, and ocean to be
approximately $100 billion (Accuweather).
Accuweather listed some sources from which the cost of damage was estimated:
business disruptions, unemployment, transportation/infrastructure damages, farming
damages/loss of crops, increased cost of fuel, damages to homes and other personal
belongs/valuables (Accuweather).
FPL just announced Thursday, October 26, that they plan to recover 1.3 billion dollars in
costs incurred through Hurricane Irma by adding a few dollars onto monthly bills
(Saunders, 2017).
Vox reports varying cost due to damages from Hurricane Irma ranging from 50 to 100
billion (Irfan, 2017).
Vox also stated that storms are becoming more and more expensive due to climate
change (Irfan, 2017).
Surprisingly, less than 18% of Floridians carry flood insurance, so it seems that taxpayers
will bear most of the costs due to the storm (Irfan. 2017).

K. Interview a Decision-Maker
Maria Sparsis, local small business owner Tea and Chi
www.teaandchi.com

How did Hurricane Irma impact your business? We lost a few days of
revenue while people were preparing for the hurricane and we had reduced
revenue after, while people were dealing with the aftermath. We sustained no
physical damage/loss.

Is there anything you would do differently to prepare next time in the event
of another hurricane? We always watch and prepare as best we can. Thats all
we can do.

What advice would you give to other business owners preparing for their
first hurricane experience? Make sure your business is insured, before
hurricane season, and then do everything you can to prepare for the storm.
Everything, except for life, can be replaced. Stay safe.

Is there anything county commissioners can do better in preparation for a

hurricane or in the aftermath that you would find advantageous? County
commissioners should be supporting small businesses year round.
