Indian River County <br /> Board of County Commissioners <br /> `� t1M `' ,�• Department of Emergency Services <br /> CSN 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br /> July 24, 2003 <br /> Ms. Victoria Clarke Jones <br /> Indian River County Council on Aging <br /> 694 141i Street <br /> Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br /> Dear Ms. Jones: <br /> As you know, the population continues to increase in our county as does the need for <br /> adequate shelter space during disaster events. One specific need is a safe aad secure <br /> space for senior citizens during hurricanes. <br /> It is my understanding that you will be applying for state and federal grants to obtain <br /> financial assistance with construction of a new Indian River County Council On Aging <br /> Senior Center. Your plans indicate that the Council On Aging will provide hurricane <br /> shelter assistance for clients who normally use the Center. Using the standard formula of <br /> 20 square feet per evacuee, your new center will be able to shelter approximately 300- <br /> 400 of your clients . <br /> The hurricane shelter deficit in Indian River County would be reduced with your <br /> proposed shelter. Therefore, please accept this letter as my support for any funding <br /> applications made by your agency which require approval by the local emergency <br /> msaagemenrt agency. <br /> Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact rue anytime. <br /> sincerely, <br /> 1� . <br /> J4 King <br /> Director <br /> Department of Emergency Services <br /> Cc : Nathan McCollum <br /> Division of Division of Division of Division of <br /> Emergency Medical Animal Contrd Fire Services Emerpncy�M� st <br /> Services 567-5000 562-2028 667 <br /> 567.8000 Ext 446 Ext. 444 <br /> Ext. 217 <br /> V rrvrn,u 70)eAse .
