ADDITION: INFORMATION FROM THE 2009 GOVERNOR'S <br />HURRICANE CONFERENCE HELD IN MIAMI, FLORIDA. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan updated the Board on the outcome of the Governor's Hurricane <br />Conference he attended last week, along with Emergency Services Director John King, and <br />Assistant Public Works Director Chris Mora. He informed the Board that the State is planning a <br />statewide training exercise, "Hurricane, 0 -No." They are asking non -impacted counties to be a <br />host county to receive evacuees, and the stipulated number for our County would be 72,000 <br />evacuees for whom we would have to provide food, shelter, and other related amenities, for a <br />period of up to 6 months. He believed that could be a tremendous cost to the County. He did not <br />hear much about funding and thought this could very well be another unfunded mandate. The <br />good news was the Legislature had approved some of the annual funding that Emergency <br />Services receive He said there were two grants: a State Grant, and a Federal Grant, and that <br />total last year was about $135,000.00 to the County, so we should expect about that much again <br />this year. <br />May 19, 2009 38 <br />
