from hurricane events. The safe shelter shares that currently exist only provide protection for wind speeds of
up to 60 m.p.h. Retrofitting existing public shelters with a hardened window protection will reduce that
shelter deficit and provide a safe Craven for our evacuees for %viud events of up to 145 m.lr.1h.

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 Hoard 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
SHELTER EVALUATIONS for THE S'T'ATE OF FLORIDA
ID No.: 217
Survey Date: December, 4 1998
Facility ;dame: Vero Beach School (Building 0)
Address: 1707 16th Street, Vero Beach, Florida, 32960
Coordinates:
Latitude: N 27°45'30"
Longitude: W 80°30'44"
Discussion:
Vero Beach High School is located on 16th Street approximately 112 mile cast of U.S. 1. Under the
direction of Indian River Department of Emergency Management, building #1 was evaluated as a possible
hurricane evacuation shelter.
Flood and Hazmat. Considerations
The campus is located in a Zone 'X' area according to Flood Insurance Rate Map, panel 158 of 169, Map
No.12061CO158 E, with an effective date of May 4, 1989. Evidence of flooding or ponding was not
apparent.
The lfES building is within the Vulnerability Ione of two Section 302 facilities that have a low release
potential in a hurricane event.
The campus is not located within a ten mil-- Emergency Planning Zone of a nuclear facility.
Wind and Wind-lteiated Considerations:
Wind hazard types taken into consideration during site inspection include lay -down hazards, roll-over
liazards 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 another campus. Tall trees, 5 unsecured
satellite disltcs and 1 tall communications tower pose lay -down hazards. The southern exposure is
characterized as lightly wooded and residential with several light poles within proximity of the structure
evaluated. The eastern exposure is comprised of residential housing and is lightly wooded with many tali
trees within lay -dawn range of the structure. Western exposure is mostly residential with heavily wooded
areas. Noted on this portion were telephone poles and tall tress which represent lay -down hazards. There
is a limited degree of 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. The building was designed in 1965.
Building Characteristics:
No structural or architectural plans for this facility was provided for evaluation. A clearly defined
continuous load path from foundation to roof consisting of columns and spandrel beams is not present.
Upon site inspection and review of structural plans it was evident that the building's exterior walls are
constructed of masonry and contain soflspot areas. Visual inspection of the site revealed very little in
determining the primary load bearing system. Plans were not available that indicated reinforcement in the
masonry. The roof is flat and appears to be light weight with open web steel joists that appear to be
bolted to 1 -beams which are anchored to the top of masonry walls. Minor deterioration is present through
out the structure. Given its age this was not unexpected.
Windows, of an unknown glass type, comprised approximately 7% 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 (1965)
according to the Mate ofrlorida Hurricane Shelter Evaluation Guidelines is a Ion a scale of 0-4, the most
stringent being 4.
Life Safety/ElEl mergency Power:
At the time of survey, the buildings conformed to fire codes. There was an emergency power supply
generator on site rated at 80 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, Vero Beach Iligh School was found to have characteristics which fall under the
categories of preferred, marginal and non-compliant.
40
40
•
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 arc located outside the 500 -year floodplain (Zone X).
Marginal characteristics of this facility include:
• The building has a lightweight roof system.
• There is a limited exposure to large and small wind-borne debris within 300 feet of facility.
The building shows signs of deterioration.
• No verification of reinforced exterior walls.
• The building is within the Vulnerability Zone of two Section 302 facilities but with low release
potential.
Non-compliant characteristic of this facility include:
• The building; has unprotected windows and doors that [cad into shelter areas.
• No verification of wind parameters used in a 1965 design.
