MA Section V. Environmental Review (NOTE: This application cannot be processed if this section is not completed.)
Because the HMGP/FMA are federally funded programs, all projects are required to undergo an environmental review as part of the
grant application process. Moreover, all projects must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and associated
Federal, State, Tribal, and Local statutes to obtain funding. NO WORK can be done prior to the NEPA review process. If work is
done on your proposed project before the NEPA review is completed, it will NOT be eligible for Federal funding.
A. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Documents
All projects must have adequate NEPA documentation that enables the FEMA Regional Environmental OJf1certo determine iftheproposed
project complies with NEPA and associated statutes. The FEMA Mitigation Division Environmental Specialists provide comprehensive
NEPA technical assistance for States and Applicants, with their consent, to complete the NEPA review. The type and quantity of NEPA
documents required to make this determination varies depending upon the project's size, location, and complexity. However, at a
minimum, please provide the applicable documentation from this section to facilitate the NEPA compliance process.
!f your project fits into one ofthe descriptions listed below:
development of mitigation plans;
inspection and monitoring activities;
studies involving only staff time and funding;
training activities using existing facilities;
please include the following required NEPA documentation:
❑ Detailed project description, scope of work, and budget/costs (Section II (p. 3) and Section IV (p. 4))

RE: LMS ENDORSEMENT
SHELTER RETROFIT PROJECTS
Dear Mr. Erikson:
As Chairman of the Indian River County Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group, I would like
to offer my support to the submission of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Applications for
Shelter Retrofit Projects for Indian River County.
As a result of implementing an approved project prioritization methodology, a list of ranked
projects was generated and approved by the Indian River County LMS Working Group at its
August 18, 1999 meeting. The LMS was formally adopted by Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners on November 16, 1999. One of the approved projects was to seek funding for
retrofits to the county's public schools, which serve as public shelters, to reduce vulnerability to
winds and flood damage, thereby reducing the county's safe shelter deficit.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
cam.

FINAL REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SHELTER EVALUATIONS for THE STATE OF FLORIDA
ED No.: 214
Survey Date: December, 9 1998
Facility Name: Sebastian River High School (Buildings B and C)
Address: 900190th Street, Sebastian, Florida, 32958
Coordinates:
Latitude: N2745'30"
Discussion:
Longitude: W 80°24'/6"
Sebastian River High School is located on 90th Street approximately 2 miles east of 1-95 and 1/2 south
of C.R. 512. Under the direction of Indian River Department of Emergency Management, buildings A,
B, C and J were evaluated as a possible hurricane evacuation shelters.
Flood and Hazmat Considerations:
A finished floor elevation of +23.0 feet was called out on the structural plans. The campus is located in
a Zone'X' area according to Flood Insurance Rate Map, panel 90 of 169, Map No.12061C0090 E, with an
effective date of May 4, 1989. Evidence of flooding or ponding was not apparent.
The HES buildings are within the Vulnerability Zone of two Section 302 facilities that have a low release
potential in a hurricane event.
The campus is not located within a ten mile Emergency Planning Zone of a nuclear facility.
Wind and Wind -Related Considerations:
Wind hazard types taken into consideration during site inspection include lay -down hazards, roll-over
hazards and debris hazards. The entire site is comprised of flat, heavily wooded terrain and rural in nature.
There is a small retention pond located on the eastern portion of the site. An open area (playing field)
separates the school and wooded area on the western exposure. The north side contains one unsecured
mobile home, the east, 14 portable classrooms and unsecured metal bleachers, while the west contains 1
large pre-engineered metal building. There is limited exposure to large and small wind-borne debris within
300 feet of the facility. There was no verification of wind parameters used in the design; however, the
buildings were designed in 1992 and have no obvious wind design flaws.
Building Characteristics:
The areas evaluated were located on ground floors of 2 story structures. A full set of structural and
architectural plans for this facility was provided for evaluation. A clearly defined continuous load path
from foundation to second floor deck to roof is present. Upon site inspection and revidw of structural plans
it was evident that the buildings' exterior walls are constructed of fully reinforced masonry and have no
softspot areas. The plans called for an 8" CMU with an EIFS exterior finish for wall construction attached
to poured reinforced concrete slab utilizing reinforcing bar and filled cells every 4 feet. A bond
beam/concrete slab constitutes the covering of the first floor areas. The roof over the second floor area
is gable ended, covered with roofing tile terminating into a flat area which is covered with a vented metal
deck, light weight concrete insulating fill, and single ply membrane. Open web steel joisting on 4 foot
centers constitute the entire roof structure and was found to be welded to steel pipe columns .
Windows, of an unknown glass type, comprised less than 1% of total exterior wall space. No
shuttering/protective system was in place for either windows or exterior doors.
The stringency ranking of the model building code used during the year of the buildings design (1992)
according to the State of Florida Hurricane Shelter Evaluation Guidelines is a 4 on a scale of 04, the
most stringent being 4.
The building was in good condition with no visible signs of damage.
Life Safety/Emergency Power:
At the time of survey, the buildings conformed to fire codes. There was an emergency power supply
generator on site rated at 225 kw with a 1600 gallon fuel supply. The load on this generator includes safety
lights, exit lights, freezers, fire alarms, emergency lighting and kitchen equipment.
Conclusions:
When analyzed using the criteria outlined in the ARC 4496 Least -Risk Decision Making Guideline
Compliance Summary, Sebastian River High School was found to have characteristics which fall under
40
40
40
the categories of preferred, marginal and non-compliant.
Preferred characteristics of this facility include:
• The buildings and its' access road are located outside the Category 5 storm surge innundation.
• The buildings and its' access road are located outside the 500 -year floodplain (Zone 7Q.
• A clearly defined, continuous loadpath from roof to foundation is present.
• The building was in good condition with no apparent signs of deterioration.
• The buildings' exterior walls are constructed of fully reinforced masonry.
• No evidence of degradation is present on roof.
No verification of wind parameters used in desig but a 1992 design generally meets high wind
requirements.
Marginal characteristics of this facility include:
• The building has a lightweight roof system.
• The building is within the Vulnerability Zone of two Section 302 facilities but with low release
potential.
• The building has unprotected windows and doors that lead into shelter areas.
Non-compliant characteristic of this facility include:
• Several hazards within lay -down range of building.
The building has a roof span that exceeds 40 feet.
Retrofit Recommendation:
Ma
j r
• Have a structural engineer evaluate roof system to determine modifications required to resist
uplift and bending forces.
• Install shutters or other protective systems on unprotected systems windows to exterior doors to
meet the SBC Standard SSTD 12-94 of Dade County version of the South Florida Building
Code (Section 2314.1, 2314.5 and 1-2314.4).
Minor (Please note that while these minor retrofit recommendations will enhance the integrity of
shelter space evaluated they will not increase potential usable shelter square footage.)
• Remove potential lay -down hazards.
• Remove potential debris hazards.
• Secure portable classrooms and mobile homes on the site.
