!OM 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 environtnental 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 Poi:cy Act (NEPA) Documents
All projects must have adequate NEPA documentation that enables the FEMA Regional Environmental Officer to determine ifthe proposed
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.
If your project fits into one of the 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,
Douglas -ght, Director
Chairman, LMS Working Group

FINAL REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SHELTER EVALUATIONS for THE STATE OF FLORIDA
ID No.: 203
Survey Date: December, 4 1998
Facility Name: Gifford Middle School (Buildings 1200 and 600)
Address: 2726 45th Street, Vero Beach, Florida, 32967
Coordinates:
Latitude: N27040'30"
Longitude: W80'2446"
Discussion:
Gifford Middle School is located on 45th Street approximately 3/8 of a mile west of Old Dixie Highway.
Under the direction of Indian River Department of Emergency Management, buildings 1200 and 600 were
evaluated as a possible hurricane evacuation shelters.
Flood and Hazmat Considerations:
The campus is located in a Zone 'X' area according to Flood Insurance Rate Map, panel 156 of 169, Map
No. 12061 CO 156 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 terrain. The northern exposure is heavily
wooded with a large open playing field separating the school with the wooded area. Noted on this portion
were light poles which represent lay -down hazards. The southern exposure is characterized as heavily
wooded and residential. Eastern portion of the site is lightly wooded and residential with tall tress within
proximity of the structures evaluated. The western exposure is heavily wooded, rural in nature with a large
flag pole posing a minimal lay -down threat. There is a limited degree of exposure to large and small wind-
borne debris within 300 feet of the facility. The buildings were designed to ASCE 7-93.
Building Characteristics:
A partial set of structural and architectural plans for this facility was provided for evaluation. A clearly
defined continuous load path from foundation to roof is present. Upon site inspection and review of
structural plans it was evident that the buildings' exterior walls are constructed of fully reinforced masonry
with one #5 bar at 48" o.c. and have no softspot areas. The plans called for an 8" CMU with 4" brick
veneer for wall construction attached to a poured reinforced concrete slab. The roof is flat and lightweight
supported by open web steel joists which are welded to steel pipe columns in the
reinforced masonry walls typically every 4 feet.
Windows, of an unknown glass type, comprised approximately 14% 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 according
to the State ojFlorida 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 85 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, Gifford Middle School was found to have characteristics which fall under 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 X).
• A clearly defined, continuous loadpath from roof to foundation is present.
