(Florida Insurance Council 2013) Vulnerability Assessment. Tropical storm/hurricane events can have the following potential impacts within a community: • Excessive wind; • Excessive water; • Soil/beach erosion; • Electric power outage; • Surface and air transportation disruption; • Navigable waterway impairment; • Potable water system loss or disruption; • Sewer system outage; • Telecommunications system outage; • Human health and safety; • Psychological hardship; • Economic disruption; • Disruption of community services; • Agricultural/fisheries damage; • Damage to critical environmental resources; • Damage to identified historical resources; • Fire; • Toxic releases; and • Stormwater drainage impairment. Hazus estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by hurricanes. The model breaks the debris into four general categories: a) Brick/Wood, b) Reinforced Concrete/Steel, c) Eligible Tree Debris, and d)Other Tree Debris. This distinction is made because of the different types of material handling equipment required to handle the debris. The probabilistic model estimates that a total of 50,920 tons of debris will be generated. Of the total amount, 43,304 tons (83%) is Other Tree Debris. Of the remaining 8,616 tons, Brick/Wood comprises 42% of the total, Reinforced Concrete/Steel comprises 0% of the total, with the remainder being Eligible Tree Debris. If the building debris tonnage is converted to an estimated number of truckloads, it will require 143 truckloads (@25 tons/truck)to remove the building debris Indian River County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Basic Page 24
