The Honorable. Robert Graham <br />September 18, 1979 <br />Page 2 <br />2. Sept. 7th Civil Defense Director's request <br />for estimate of governmental <br />activities relating to Hurricane <br />David -and subsequent needs for <br />recovery. Submitted by Chairman <br />of Civil Defense Damage Assessment <br />Committee. <br />a. Beach Restoration to Avoid <br />loss of- Pri-vate & Publ is <br />Faci-lities <br />b. Governmental Services and <br />Activities <br />3. Sept. 11th Emergency Board Meeting of the <br />Agricultural Stabilization <br />Conservation Service estimate <br />of Agricultural Grove Losses <br />to -date (Subject to additional <br />losses) <br />Estimated processing and <br />Marketing costs (Subject to <br />additional losses) <br />TOTAL <br />BOOK 41 FADE 576 <br />$ 4,520,000 <br />$ 4,029,000 <br />$ 7,875,000 <br />$15,750,000 <br />$52,149,000 <br />These first estimates are based on broad brush surveys and the <br />final.cost of damage is undoubtedly higher. The figures do'not <br />include business interruption expense which will be considerable. <br />They do not-i*nclude detailed analyzation of the damage to <br />structures due to water --this cost will be substantial. They do <br />not include the myriad of governmental losses and services yet <br />to be determined. Nor do they include an engineering study and <br />detailed estimate of beach restoration. <br />The.citrus figure is only the tip of the agricultural iceberg. <br />Yet to be determined is the possibility of additional fruit <br />dropping from the trees., damaged fruit and trees destroyed due <br />to flooding. <br />Hurricane David has done substantial damage to Indian River County <br />and there is a clear and current need for the County to be <br />declared a disaster area. We respectfully request -that information <br />submitted to the President of the United States be up -dated so <br />that he may take appropriate action. <br />Sincerely, <br />William C. Wodtke, Jr.1 <br />Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners of <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />cc: Senator Richard Stone <br />Senator Lawton Chiles <br />Congressman Skip Bafalis <br />� � s <br />
