Section V. Environmental Review (NOTF,: 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 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:
D Detailed project description, scope of work, and budget/costs (Section II (p. 3) and Section IV (p. 4))

❑ Provide anyapplicable information or documentation referenced on the "Information andDocumentation NeedshyProject
Type "chart (page 10 of this application)
B. Alternative Actions
The NEPA process requires that at least two alternative actions be considered that address the same problem/issue as the proposed
project. In this section, list two feasible alternative projects to mitigate the hazards faced in the project area. One alternative is
the "No Action Alternative."
1. No Action Alternative
Discuss the impacts on the project area if no action is taken:
If no action is taken, there will be a continued public safety threat to the citizens of Indian River County due to the
current deficit of "safe" shelter space.

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,
J

SHELTER EVALUATIONS for THE STATE OF FLORIDA
W No.: 202
Survey Date: December 4, 1998
Facility Name: Freshman Learning Center
Address: 1507 19th Street, Vero Beach, 32960
Coordinates:
Latitude: N27'38'10"
O "L/
Longitude: W80'24'18"
Discussion:
The Freshman Learning Center is located on 19th Street approximately 1/2 miles west of U.S. 1. Under
the direction of the Indian River Department of Emergency Management, the entire structure, classrooms,
cafeteria and hallway areas of this school were evaluated as a possible hurricane evacuation shelter. The
only exclusion area was the gymnasium.
Flood and Hazmat Considerations:
The building and access roads are located outside the Catagory 5 storm surge inundation zone, as
determined by the latest edition of SLOSH. The building and it's roads are also outside of the 500 year
flood plain (Zone X) as determined by Panel 158 of 169 of Flood Insurance Rate Map #12061C0158 E
with an effective date of May 4, 1989. Site and floor elevation is undermined. The structures surveyed are
within the Vulnerability Zone of two Section 302 facilities but the release potential in a hurricane event
is considered low.
Wind and Wind -Related Considerations:
The northern exposure's topography is a flat, heavily wooded residential area with light poles, flag pole
and large trees presenting lay -down hazards. Southern exposure is open field of a rural nature. Eastern
exposure is similar with lay -down hazards in the form of light poles. Western exposure is comprised of
flat, heavily wooded and residential with light poles and tall trees which pose minimal laydown hazards.
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
cantilevered masonry and have no softspot areas. The plans called for an 8" CMU, 5" pipe columns
(standard weight) were employed extending from the concrete, steel reinforced footers to top of a
continuous 115/8' steel reinforced bondbeam. Steel truss girders (48" c/c) are attached to bearing points
with two 1/4" full development fillet welds. The roof is flat with a 4' overhang and decked with standard
corrugated metal decking, 2" rigid insulation, 2" lightweight insulating fill with a modified bitumen roof
covering completing the system. No evidence of ponding or degradation was present on the roof. All drains
were clear and free of debris.
Windows, of an unknown glass type, comprised less than 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 (1976)
according to the State of Florida Hurricane Shelter Evaluation Guidelines is a I on a scale of 0-4, 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 building conformed to fire codes. There was an emergency power supply
generator (85 kw) with a 1600 gallon LP gas fuel tank which powers safety lights, exist 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, The Freshman Learning Center was found to have characteristics which fall under
the categories of preferred, marginal and non-compliant.
Preferred characteristics of this facility include:
• The building and its access road are located outside the Category 5 storm surge innundation.
• The building and its access road are located outside the 500 -year floodplain (Zone X).
• The building is 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
