3 Hurricane Preparation is Year Round αα

3 Months Before Hurricane Season

Make a Family Disaster Plan and practice it with family members! Use the Evacuation Zone Look-Up Tool at www.ReadyPBC.com or view the Know Your Zone Map to see if you are in an evacuation area. Locate Evacuation Risk Shelters near your area. Pre-register for Special Needs and Pet-Friendly Shelters if applicable. Begin purchasing supplies for your Emergency Supply Kit (this can be done a little at a time, over three months). Example: Every time you get groceries purchase an extra gallon of water and some non-perishable food, then store it in your Emergency Supply Kit. See pages 29-30 for a full listing. Inspect and perform maintenance on your window protection/shutters. Buy window protection (shutters) and roof turbine cap(s) before a storm is imminent. Inspect your walls, windows, doors, and roof for conditions that may allow wind damage.

1 Month Before Hurricane Season

Complete the assembly of your Emergency Supply Kit. Purchase medicine last. Check with your doctor/pharmacy to determine how best to assure your prescriptions will last through a storm. If you need to register for the Special Needs Shelter, contact the Special Needs Coordinator at 561-712-6400. Assess your landscaping to determine if trees need to be trimmed or lawn ornaments need to be removed. Establish a contact number with your employer if you may need to report to work immediately following a storm. Make arrangements in advance for your pets; either contact Animal Care and Control about pet sheltering, or ask your veterinarian (see page 8). 4 Advice for Older Adults έ έ

Advice for Older Adults People who are elderly, frail, or disabled (either mentally or physically) may need special assistance from family members, friends or social service agencies. Excessive stress and anxiety can contribute to increased episodes of illness, particularly for persons with heart disease and other conditions.

If an older adult lives in a nursing home, adult congregate living facility (ACLF) or boarding home, contact the administrator to learn about the facility’s evacuation plan. If eligible, individuals may register for Special Needs Shelters, see page 6 for more information.

Home Health Care and Home-Bound Patients

Notify your health agency where you will be during a hurricane and when care can be re-established. If you require oxygen, check with your supplier about emergency plans. If you evacuate, remember to take medications, written instructions regarding your care, your bedding and your walker, wheelchair, cane or any other special equipment. If you require hospitalization, you must make prior arrangements through your physician. Determine if and when you would have to evacuate. REMEMBER: All mobile/ manufactured and sub-standard home residents must evacuate, regardless of location. Decide NOW where you would go if ordered to evacuate (a friend or relative, a hotel, or as a last resort if you are going to leave the region. Determine your route and leave as early as possible. Keep your home in good repair. Obtain assistance as necessary.

✔ 5 faceface Special Needs Residents

Palm Beach County has established a Special Needs Shelter Program to provide for citizens with certain medical conditions during a major emergency. The Special Needs Shelter is a facility with physicians and nurses on staff. It has auxiliary electrical power, is wind resistant, and not flood-prone. The shelter is not a medical facility and provides limited services. The shelter does not provide medication, dialysis, oxygen or oxygen concentrators. General food is provided.

Space at the Special Needs Shelter is limited and is based on need and established criteria. You MUST apply in advance by completing the form online at: http://discover.pbcgov.org/publicsafety/dem/Pages/Special-Needs.aspx Or mail it to the Special Needs Coordinator at: 20 South Military Trail, West Palm Beach, FL 33415

You may be eligible if: You are dependent upon electricity for oxygen. You have minor health/medical conditions that require professional assistance. You need medications and/or vital sign monitoring, and are unable to do so without professional assistance. You are immobile and/or have a chronic but stable illness. You are bedridden and require custodial care. Caregivers must accompany their patients.

If accepted, you will be notified and provided transportation to the shelters if needed. You will be provided additional information upon acceptance to the shelter.

NOTES:

✔ No pets are allowed in the Special Care Units. Make pet shelter arrangements in advance. ✔ If you are unable to return home, assistance will be provided for you. ✔ Food is provided. Please make your own arrangements for any special dietary needs.

For further information about the Special Needs Program, call 561-712-6400 and ask to speak to the Special Needs Coordinator.

6 ˣˣ Transportation Assistance Program

Special Needs Residents (cont'd)

If you are disabled and live in a hurricane evacuation zone and only require transportation assistance in reaching a shelter call Palm Tran Connection for the Special Transportation Assistance Program by calling 561-649-9848 or 877-870-9849 (toll-free).

If you do not qualify for the Special Needs Program and need transportation ONLY to a shelter, the county will provide transportation but you MUST be pre-registered and live in an evacuation zone or mobile/manufactured/sub-standard home, be physically handicapped or have no other means of transportation. Call Palm Tran Connection to register at 561-649-9838.

Pet Safety

Risk Shelters cannot accept pets because of health and safety regulations. Service animals for people with disabilities are an exception.

7 Pet Safety Plan petspets

Have a plan for your pets if you are evacuating and not taking them with you. Have them stay with friends or family who are not evacuating, or board them with a local facility or your veterinarian. Arrange for a neighbor to check on and take care of your pets care if a storm occurs while you are away. Plan ahead for a friend or relative outside the affected area to shelter your animals, if necessary. Make arrangements for your pet to be housed at a pet boarding facility or call motels/ hotels in advance for reservations. Most hotels take pets during a hurricane evacuation. A deposit is usually required. Keep your pet’s ID and rabies license tags up to date. Call 561-233-1271 to update records. Make sure your pet has a collar with a contact name and phone number.

Pet-Friendly Shelter Requirements

The Pet Friendly Shelter is located inside the West Boynton Recreational Center at 6000 Northtree Blvd., Lake Worth, FL 33463 and is only available to Palm Beach County residents who reside in a mandatory evacuation zone, in a mobile home, or in sub-standard housing. Proof of residency will be required.

Pets will be housed in a separate area away from where the owners are sheltered; livestock and reptiles will not be accepted. All family members will need to stay at the adjacent human shelter, Park Vista High School.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

Pre-registration Is Required at Palm Beach County Pet-Friendly Shelter. For more information visit: www.pbcgov.com/animal

8 Evacuate or Stay?

Mandatory Evacuation Homes

All residents living in a manufactured/mobile home or sub-standard housing must evacuate in a hurricane warning.

Sub-standard housing: Buildings that do NOT meet one of the following requirements: 1. Permitted and inspected after March 1, 2002 under the Florida Building Code, or; 2. Permitted and inspected under prior codes, constructed of solidly filled reinforced masonry; or of wood frame construction that has been evaluated and retrofitted as needed to resist hurricane force winds; in either case, such structures must also have been retrofitted with impact protection on all glazed openings.

Even tropical storm-force winds can topple these types of homes. Residents in low-lying areas and on barrier islands may be required to evacuate depending upon the storm’s projected path and flooding potential. When a storm threatens, do what you can to secure your home, then take refuge with friends, relatives, or at an applicable shelter.

Before you leave, take the following precautions

Pack breakables in boxes and put them on the floor. Remove mirrors and tape them. Wrap mirrors and lamps in blankets and place them in the bathtub or shower. Install hurricane shutters or pre-cut plywood on all windows. Shut off utilities and disconnect electricity, sewer and water lines. Shut off propane tanks and leave them outside after anchoring them securely. Store awnings, folding furniture, trash cans and other loose outdoor objects. Anchor the mobile/manufactured home with over-the-top or frame ties. Inspect tie-downs and anchors annually.

For more information visit: www.fema.gov/manufactured-mobile-home.

9 Evacuate or Stay?

If You Can Stay, Shelter-In-Place If You Must Evacuate

Self-evacuating is stressful and can cause more Do not travel until told it is safe to do so from harm than good, it is also expensive. If you live officials. Don’t panic. Move at a steady pace in a structurally sound home and are not located and ensure you leave enough time to get to in a mandatory evacuation zone, Shelter-In-Place where you will weather the storm.

There are 15 Hurricane Evacuation Risk Shelters for the general population in Palm Beach County. In addition, there are two Special Needs Shelters, and one Pet Friendly Shelter. All hurricane evacuation shelters meet current ARC 4496 design standards to withstand hurricane force winds, including window strength and protection, wind and debris exposure, and storm surge inundation.

These shelters are a refuge of last resort; a place to go if you can't stay at home or with New shelter considerations a relative, friend, co-worker or nearby hotel. in the post COVID-19 era While shelters are set up in schools, the timing of their opening and locations will be >> Social Distancing in Dormitories chosen based on the circumstances of the Isolation Areas storm.

12 Let's Get Ready!

Watch Hurricane Hacks Videos 1 Week Before Hurricane Season

Review your family plan and establish your out-of-town contact. Confirm your shelter information; DO NOT wait until the last minute.

June 1 through November 30 Stay alert to radio and television to receive updates on any tropical systems. Periodically check your disaster supply kit to make sure you still have the proper items.

Preparing a Home or Business

Reinforcement

Check metal and wood support columns on patios for rust and wood decay. Check the anchoring of the air-conditioning compressor to see if it feels loose. Check tie beam for crumbling concrete and rusted steel rods. Look for anything that may compromise the structural integrity of your building, such as cracks in the exterior walls and foundation more than one-half inch wide. Replace old or damaged garage doors with a stronger model. Replace old or damaged entry doors with stronger ones. For doubled-sided entry doors, ensure a heavy-duty dead bolt is installed. Anchor or strap down storage sheds and other outbuildings to a permanent foundation. Keep your property clear of debris and other items that can become wind-borne missiles. Check for loose rain gutters and moldings. Check the attic for diagonal 2-by-4s between the gable end and the roof trusses. 13 ȨȨ Protecting Your Boat

Boaters can take the following steps in preparation for severe weather

Charge batteries for automatic bilge pumps. For a boat stored on a trailer, latch the boat and trailer down in a protected area. Let the air out of tires before tying the trailer down. Place blocks between the frame members and the axle inside each wheel. Secure with heavy lines to fixed objects from four directions, if possible. Conduct a practice run to moorings to check accessibility. Drawbridges will not open for boats when an evacuation has been ordered. Keep your vessel registration number and location information with you. Inform the local marine patrol or police officials of your secured vessel’s identification and location. Check your lease or ownership contract with your marina. Know your responsibilities. Make plans with someone to care for your boat if you are out of town.

Securing a vessel

Seal all openings to make the boat as watertight as possible. Remove loose gear from the deck. Store it securely inside or at home. Reduce dock or piling crash damage by securing old tires along the sides of the boat. Secure the boat for all directions. Remember, a boat could be pulled under as the tide rises. If the boat is left on a davit, open the boat drains before securing. Do not block the passage of other boats which have moorings farther inshore. Leave early for safe harbor if you choose to relocate when a hurricane warning is issued. Do not attempt to leave unless you are equipped to travel long distances in rough weather.

NEVER stay with your boat during the storm. When you are securing your boat, remove boat documents, radios and other valuables from the vessel prior to the storm.

✔ Do not take materials to the curb, transfer stations or landfill during a watch or warning period. Services may be suspended and facilities closed early to prepare for the storm.

For additional information, contact the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) Customer Information Services at 561-697-2700 or 1-866-792-4636 (toll-free) or visit www.swa.org/Hurricane for updates on your collection services.

To Do List Make a family plan. Who does what and where will your family ride out the storm. Know the disaster plan of your child’s school or daycare. Trim trees and store loose objects. Install/test your smoke detector. Use a video camera to record the contents of your home and store video footage with a friend who lives out of town. Take pictures of important documents, photocopy important papers and store safely in a water proof container. Make plans to board your pet if you plan to go to a shelter. Obtain cash. Establish an out-of-state contact to call in case of emergency.

Hurricane Shutters

Shutters should be attached to the structural framing of the house and not the window or door frames. Install second-story and difficult shutters first. Make sure all exposed metal fittings (including screws, embedded anchors, etc.) are weather (corrosion) resistant. Always follow proper instructions when installing your choice of window protection.

16 Choose the Right Shutters! ͹͹

17 BOIL ɒ General Preparations WATER ɞ

During a Watch

Turn on TV or radio and listen for continuing updates. Review your evacuation plan. Check evacuation kit and/or family disaster supplies kit and gather any missing items. Contact family members to coordinate storm preparations. Notify your out-of-area host that you may be evacuating. Place important documents and photos in waterproof plastic bags. Turn refrigerator and freezer to coldest setting; open only when necessary and close quickly. Freeze plastic jugs or cartons of water. Fill up drinking water containers. Scrub bathtub and fill with water; keep bucket handy for flushing toilet. Fuel up vehicles and propane tanks; obtain fuel for generators. Prep and test generator if you have one (do not operate during storm, see page 22). Stow or cover irreplaceable items; move breakables away from windows. Put up shutters, if you have them. Remove turbine and cap vent hole when storm is approaching. Bring in outdoor furniture, wind chimes, flags, trash cans, grills, antennas, etc. Tie down or stabilize boat. Secure outdoor gates. Reinforce garage door.

Take action early, DON'T wait until a hurricane warning is declared. Use the  Evacuation Zone Look-Up Tool at www.ReadyPBC.com or view the Know Your Zone Map (on the last page) to see if you are in an evacuation area.

18 During a Warning | Landfall

Go to your safe room if conditions warrant. Keep battery-operated radio or TV on an emergency information station. Keep flashlight with you. Do not open doors or windows, not even “just to take a look”. Stay away from windows. Do not operate gas grill or portable generator. Stay off the phone unless absolutely necessary. Turn off utilities if told to do so by authorities. Unplug small appliances. Do not go outdoors until the storm has passed; winds can calm and begin again at any time. Be alert for tornadoes which are often spawned by hurricanes.

If your home becomes damaged during the storm:

Stay away from windows and doors even if they are covered. Take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway. Close all interior doors. Secure and brace external doors. If you are in a two-story house, go to an interior first-floor room, such as a bathroom or closet. If you are in a multiple-story building and away from the water, go to the first or second floors and take refuge in interior rooms away from windows. Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object.

Be informed:

19 After the Storm ȖȖ

DO NOT venture out in the hours immediately following a hurricane. More injuries and fatalities occur after a major storm event than as a result of the weather.

Road Safety

Driving is extremely hazardous with storm debris on the roads, traffic signals that aren’t working, signs that are down, flooding and downed power lines. Do not drive unless absolutely necessary. Drive slowly and approach all intersections with extreme caution. Treat intersections with missing/non-working traffic signals or missing stop signs as a four-way stop. Never drive through flooded roadways. The depth of the water is not always obvious. Also, the road bed may not be intact under flood waters. If there is danger of flooding and your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher ground. Rapidly rising water may engulf the vehicle and its occupants, sweeping them away. Do not visit disaster areas. Your presence may slow down emergency operations. Obey curfews. They are mandatory and will be re-evaluated daily. Anyone out during curfew could be subject to arrest. When a traffic signal regains power, it may flash red or yellow. Drivers should stop at the flashing red light and proceed cautiously through a flashing yellow light. If the power is out and the signal is dark, the intersection should be treated as a four-way stop.

Re-entry

BE PATIENT. You won’t be able to return to your home or business until search and rescue operations are complete and safety hazards, such as downed power lines, are cleared. It may take time for emergency crews to reach your neighborhood.

20 ÖÖ Re-entry Check List

21 Generator Safety ÞÞ

Portable generators are useful when temporary or remote electrical power is needed, but they can be also hazardous. Always follow the instructions that come with your generator.

Below are some generator tips:

Ensure you have the correct cords and connectors. Don’t fill the fuel tank until right before the storm (it grows stale and unsafe in a hot garage). If your generator uses a battery rather than a rope pull, ensure the battery is kept charged. Protect the generator from coming in contact with water, and don’t let any protection impede air flow that cools the engine and generator.

Carbon Monoxide Hazards NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, crawl spaces, and other enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is difficult to detect. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent CO build-up. Place outside and away from doors, windows, and vents. Install CO alarms in your home and test them frequently.

Electrical Hazards NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding.” This is an extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer.

Fire Hazards NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Store flammable liquids outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers secured prior to the storm’s arrival.

Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite.

Blue Roof Program

The US Army Corps of Engineers implements the blue roof program on behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Operation Blue Roof provides homeowners with free temporary blue plastic roof coverings for eligible homes damaged by a hurricane.

This program allows victims back into their homes so that they can return to their routines as quickly as possible. After a hurricane, registration sites will be established in the county. Registrants must fill out an application and sign a right-of-entry form.

The Corps will employ contractors to install plastic sheeting on homes of pre-qualified applicants. The sheeting is for free-standing homes, not apartments or commercial establishments. The sheeting cannot be installed on tile or flat roofs. No individual tarps will be available for distribution at the registration sites.

TOLL FREE NUMBER 1-888-ROOF-BLU (1-888-766-3258)

Secure Exposed Pools (Code may vary by your municipality)

County code requires barriers around all swimming pools; failure to comply could result in a fine of up to $1,000 per day. To temporarily cordon off the pool area, property owners can use orange plastic construction fencing supported by stakes or steel rods (rebar) driven into the ground. Rope or plastic tape is not adequate. Temporary barriers must be at least four feet from the ground with no holes or gaps wider than four inches. For more information, contact Code Enforcement at 561-233-5500.

Repair Windows (Code may vary by your municipality)

Repair broken windows as soon as possible after a hurricane. According to county code, glass is required in all windows. Immediately after a hurricane, code enforcement will allow ample time for residents to repair broken windows.

General Purpose Tarps Repairing Your Damaged Home (cont'd)

Heavy gauge and extra-heavy gauge polyethylene waterproof tarps are available from hardware stores. They have sewn-in edges for extra strength and rust-proof aluminum grommets. These blue tarps can be used temporarily on a damaged roof but cannot be relied upon to provide protection during a hurricane.

Yard Clean-up

✔ Please be patient. ✔ Be especially cautious if using a chainsaw to cut fallen trees. ✔ Keep household garbage, recycling and vegetative and/or construction debris in separate piles. ✔ Securely containerize all household garbage to be placed curbside on your scheduled day. ✔ Don’t place any debris near or on a fence, mailbox, power line equipment, poles, transformers, downed electrical wiring, water meters or storm drains. ✔ Know what your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy covers and what you will need to submit a claim. Take photographs of all damage before repairs and keep all receipts. ✔ Make temporary repairs to correct safety hazards and minimize further damage. ✔ Contact your local building department for information on required building permits. Permits are always required for any kind of demolition or permanent repairs, reconstruction, roofing, or filling.

26 Hurricane Myths & FAQ

1. It will never happen here! That’s probably what people in New Orleans, Homestead, and the Keys have said. But the entire coast from Texas to Maine is vulnerable to hurricanes!

2. My windows are ready. I have them taped. Taping windows to prevent breakage or limit the amount of shattering is not an effective form of window protection and can create airborne daggers of glass should the windows break. Window coverings made of 5/8-inch plywood or metal and fastened correctly can improve the chances of having your home survive the impact of a storm.

3. I’m going to open the windows on the side opposite the wind so the air pressure doesn’t explode my house. The best way to keep your home safe is to keep the wind OUT! Studies have shown that opening a window can increase the amount of damage done by wind. When a hurricane threatens, keep your home sealed up tight.

4. Why should I prepare my house? When the big one comes, it’s going to be destroyed anyway. While a hurricane’s winds can destroy even the most solid structures, taking some basic precautions can significantly reduce damage from a storm. Pictures of areas devastated by hurricanes will often show one house standing while a neighbor’s lies in ruins. The difference? The owners of the house in good shape took some basic precautions to safeguard their property. Shuttering windows, bracing garage and entry doors and bringing in yard items can mean the difference between destruction and minor damage.

5. The storm surge is only 9 feet at the most and my condo is on an upper floor, so I’m riding the storm out. Vertical evacuation, or escaping the rising storm surge by going to the upper stories of a building, is an option. However, wind speeds increase the higher you go, so you may be evacuating into a more dangerous place. If so, the high winds and water could make getting help to you nearly impossible after the storm passes.

6. When I get the evacuation order, I’m leaving. There is no high ground here, and it will be much safer inland. Even with Palm Beach County’s long coastline, not all near-coastal areas are subject to evacuation. In fact, in some locations, beach residents need travel no more than one mile to get to safe areas. Traveling a great distance to escape the effects of the storm may actually lead you into danger if you become stranded in evacuating traffic when the storm nears. Also, the further you go to evacuate, the longer it will take you to get there and to your home after the storm.

27 Hurricane Myths & FAQ

7. Are there sufficient shelters for people if we’re threatened by a Category 4 or 5 storm? Yes. Studies have shown that less than 10 percent of the people in evacuation zones go to local shelters. In Palm Beach County, we have shelter space for at least 55,000 people who live in an evacuation zone. If people do not live in evacuation zones or mobile/manufactured homes or substandard housing, they do not need to go to shelters and should make plans to either leave the county or stay home or with friends.

8. Should I evacuate during a Category 4 or 5 storm? Mandatory evacuations are issued for people living along the coastal area and barrier islands subject to sea water surge; mobile/ manufactured homes regardless of location; and persons living in substandard housing. We encourage people to “run from water and hide from wind”.

Evacuation is not required or recommended for persons living away from the coast or for persons living in structurally sound homes. Stay home and stay off the roads. That’s why we encourage people to have a sufficient Emergency Supply Kit. If you plan to leave the county, you must leave early, at least three to five days before a storm’s projected landfall.

9. What if I can’t drive and need transportation out of the county? If you live in an evacuation zone, mobile home, or substandard housing and do not have transportation, you need to register with Palm Tran Connection for the Special Transportation Assistance Program by calling 561-649-9848 or 877-870-9849 (toll-free).

You will be placed on a list and when evacuation orders are issued, you will be contacted and provided transportation to the nearest county shelter. We do not provide transportation out of the county or for those not meeting the above criteria.

10. Is Palm Beach County prepared? Yes. Our hurricane response and recovery plans are well seasoned and our staff is prepared. The county and the cities have developed a well-coordinated response to provide public safety and health services to those areas affected by a hurricane.

Florida Power and Light representatives are at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the county coordinates power restoration with them. State and federal response agency representatives will be housed at the EOC before, during, and after the storm to provide assistance to us. We have a dedicated staff whose sole purpose is to save lives and protect property after a storm and get us back to full operation as soon as possible.
