I. Purpose In the event of an emergency or a warning of an emergency, Deerfield Beach Housing Authority will implement its preparedness plan under the direction of senior staff, who by all applicable sections, will ensure that all employees prepare in accordance with the established plan.

It is the intent of the Housing Authority to be aware of, prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from emergency circumstances that may occur which could cause injury to persons, loss of property, or both. For the purposes of this plan an emergency is defined as any unplanned event that can cause deaths or significant injuries to employees, tenants, or the public; or that could shut down our business, disrupt operations, or cause physical or environmental damage, or threaten the agency’s financial standing. How quickly the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority can get back to business after a natural disaster or catastrophic event depends on careful emergency planning by the agency and the participation of all employees.

This guide is designed to provide the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority’s employees with a systematic approach in the planning and preparation for hurricane season and other potential disasters such as fire, flood, tornados, severe weather, or bomb threats.

It is intended to ensure that the safety, security and well being of the agency and its residents are addressed before, during, and immediately following a disaster.

It is also intended to expedite the recovery phase following a disaster in the event the business is damaged so that services are restored to our clients and the community as quickly as possible.

Management and staff should keep a copy of this emergency plan in their homes, cars or other place outside of the office so that the information can be easily accessible in case of an emergency.

The following events are considered emergencies:

• Fire

• Hazardous Materials Incident

• Flood or Flash Flood

• Hurricane

• Tornado

• Summer Storm

4

• Winter Storm

• Explosion

• Civil Disturbance

• Terrorism

This list is not intended to include all emergencies that may occur in our area. The Executive Director is responsible for the development and implementation of the emergency management plan and serves as safety officer. In the absence of the Executive Director, the HCV Director is responsible for the implementation of the emergency response plan and serves as the safety officer.

The actions of the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority during an emergency situation will comply with all federal, state, or local government declarations that are known to the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority at the time. Any federal, state, or local official declarations will take precedent over this plan when there is a conflict.

Attached to this document contains the telephone numbers of staff, businesses, and agencies that may need to be contacted in case of an emergency.

VI. Disaster Recovery & Response

A. Immediately following the passing of a storm, it is the responsibility of each employee to contact management for instructions and to report in, beginning at 8:00 a.m. or as soon as it is possible. This is necessary to ensure that communication with employees is possible. There is no exception, regardless of job description or proximity to the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority sites.

B. It is the responsibility of each employee to check in each business day after a

storm, until employees are required to report to work. When it is determined by management, after consultation with area safety agencies, that it is safe for employees to drive and that the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority’s sites are safe for occupancy, all employees are required to report to work, regardless of the status of electricity, phones, or computers. Employees reporting to work must contact management for instructions.

C. An employee who fails to check in on the day employees are required to

report to work, will not be compensated in payroll, regardless of the status of Broward County Schools, airports, or public facilities.

D. Staff should assume that the normal organization chart lines of authority and

responsibility will remain unchanged during the recovery period. E. Surveying the Damage & Location of Central Office

1. A survey of the disaster scene is done by the Executive Director,

Operations Manager, and the Maintenance Team Leader to estimate the amount of time required to put the facility (in this case, the building and utilities) back into working order. If the central office is impacted by the damage, a decision must be made whether to use a pre-designated alternate location (which could be a pre-outfitted travel trailer that could be delivered to the site) where computing and networking capabilities can be temporarily restored until the central office can be brought back on-line. Work should begin on repairing or rebuilding the damaged sites as soon as immediate threats to public welfare or safety have been abated. This may take months, the details of which are beyond the scope of this document.

2. If it is necessary to shift the central office to the pre-designated alternate

location, all essential equipment and records will be transferred immediately under the supervision of the Executive Director. When that central office is again fit for occupancy, the systems assembled at the alternate site are to be moved back to their permanent home.

F. Responsibilities of Senior Staff

17

1. The Executive Director, HCV Director, Director of Housing Operations, and Maintenance Team Leader will tour housing developments and prioritize repair activities in the following order: a) Life

b) Safety

c) Health Considerations

d) Safety of Property

e) Comfort

f) Aesthetics

2. It is important to write down the exact location of damages and the observable extent of the damages. Also, it is important to note if electricity and/or telephone service is available at each site other than scattered sites.

3. It is understood that it may not be possible to reach each site, as

conditions may not allow; however, the assignments will be pre-determined based upon the senior staff member’s residence and proximity to the properties.

4. REMINDER: Use great caution when entering a building damaged by

high winds. Be sure that the walls, ceiling, and roof are in place, and that the structure rest firmly on the foundation. Look out for broken glass, protruding nails, and downed power lines!

G. Maintenance 1. Shall ensure that gas is disconnected from any building with severe

structural damage. 2. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the hurricane, Maintenance personnel

shall complete and maintain a survey of water levels and flood damage to each unit under its jurisdiction which has been identified as flood prone.

3. Shall create lists of non-habitable buildings or units to be delivered to the

Business Skills Center as soon as possible.

4. All personnel shall work continuously until safety and health considerations are satisfied. Matters of comfort and aesthetics will be resolved during normal business hours.

18

5. Upon satisfactory assessment that safety is assured, personnel will work 7 days a week, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., until the Executive Director considers emergency management at a controllable state.

H. Housing Management 1. Housing Coordinators shall ensure electricity is disconnected from any

building with severe structural damage. 2. Within 72 hours after the hurricane, each Housing Coordinator shall

identify those families who have not returned to their unit and will begin to make contact utilizing the hurricane information record obtained prior to the hurricane.

3. The other support staff shall function as assigned during post-hurricane

conditions. I. Administration

1. The Executive Director shall have water disconnected from any building

with severe structural damage. 2. The Executive Director will brief the Mayor as soon as possible after the

disaster. 3. Review lists of non-habitable buildings or units delivered to central office

as soon as possible and develop work assignments for agency employees based upon reports received regarding damage sustained.

4. The Executive Director will contact FAHRO headquarters (850-222-6000),

the closest unaffected FAHRO Regional Disaster Coordinator, and their HUD Field Office to advise them of the situation, as well as aid and supplies that are required.

5 The Operations Manager will check for availability of temporary hotel and housing accommodations for possible volunteer assistance.

6. As soon as possible, the Executive Director, with the consent of the

Chairperson, will call a special emergency Board Meeting on the situation and apprise the Board of emergency made arising from the disaster and recovery activities.

VII. FEMA & HUD Assistance

19

A. Federal Emergency Management Agency 1. In the aftermath of a disaster/crisis, public and private non-profit, as well

as individual disaster damage assistance is available from FEMA pending that the area is included in the declared disaster area.

2. Assistance to PHAs is limited to essential assistance authorized under

section 403 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (at 42 U.S.C. 5170 (b) (3)). This assistance may include debris removal, demolition of unsafe structures, and any actions necessary to reduce an immediate threat to life, property, and public health and safety.

3. To receive essential assistance from FEMA, PHAs should submit a

Request for Public Assistance (Form FF90-49, found on page 72) to the State Public Assistance Officer within 30 days of the disaster, as declared by the President. Upon receipt, the State will forward the request to FEMA, who will assign a Public Assistance Coordinator to work with the PHA to identify public damages eligible assistance, for which they will generally provide 75 percent of the cost of the work.

4. “Public damages” can include any damage incurred by a structure or

facility which is owned by a public or private non-profit entity. This could include roads, bridges, buildings, utilities, etc. Project applications for public sites may be approved to fund a variety of projects that fall within the following eligible categories:

a) Category A - Debris Clearance: This category includes all storm

induced debris on non-federal public roads, including the right-of-way, non-federal public waterways, other public property, and private property when undertaken by local government forces. It can also cover the cost of demolition of public structures if those structures were made unsafe by the disaster.

b) Category B - Emergency Protective Measures: This category addresses the need to provide appropriate emergency measures designed to protect life, safety, property, and health (i.e., barricades, sand bags and safety personnel).

c) Category C - Road System: This category addresses damages to

non-federal roads, bridges, streets, culverts, and traffic control devices.

d) Category D - Water Control Facilities: Eligible damages under this category include costs to repair or replace dikes, dams, drainage channels, irrigation works, and levees.

20

e) Category E - Building and Equipment: Eligible damages under this category include costs to repair public buildings and equipment, supplies/inventories that were damaged and transportation systems such as public transit systems.

f) Category F - Public Utility Systems: Under this category, assistance

is available for damaged water systems, landfills, sanitary sewerage systems, storm drainage systems, and light/power facilities.

g) Category G – Other: The “other” category includes park and

recreational facilities, or any other public facility damages that do not reasonably fit in one of the other six categories.

5. If a PHA feels that FEMA incorrectly denies work in response to their

request for public assistance, the PHA may appeal the decision in accordance with 44 CFR 206.206.

B. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 1. For a PHA’s disaster recovery costs not covered by insurance and

essential assistance from FEMA, HUD will provide funding from the capital public housing reserve authorized by section 9(k) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1437g(k)), subject to the availability of appropriations.

2. Each PHA that incurs damage in excess of insurance coverage and

essential assistance from FEMA through a Presidentially declared disaster is responsible for submitting a funding request to HUD, through their field office, that:

a) Reflects needed funding after determining the amount of funds to be

provided from insurance and other sources.

b) Substantiates the extent of the damage through the inclusion of pictures, a videocassette, engineering surveys, etc.

3. The HUD field office, at its option, may conduct an on-site inspection or

issue a task order to the Corps of Engineers, with whom HUD has an interagency agreement, for such an inspection to verify the PHA’s request for funds (e.g. need and cost).

4. Within 14 calendar days of receipt of the PHA’s request, the field office

must complete its review and forward its recommendation for approval, with the PHA’s request, to HUD headquarters for review and final decision.

21

5. If the request is approved, HUD headquarters will notify the field office when funds have been assigned for the PHA and the field office will process the PHA’s application, reserve the funds, and execute an Annual Contributions Contract Amendment.

6. If the field office does not recommend approval of the PHA’s request, the

field office shall disapprove the request and notify the PHA in writing, including the reasons for disapproval.

7. The PHA may appeal a field office’s disapproval to HUD headquarters for

a review and final determination.

8. Funds received for damages resulting from a disaster do not require repayment.

9. Public Housing. People displaced by a disaster may find temporary or

permanent housing in vacant properties owned by public housing authorities (PHA). Disaster victims must be income-eligible (low income) and PHAs must be willing to give priority to disaster victims. HUD Disaster Volunteers may locate vacant PHA units using the National Housing Locator System. A directory of PHAs may be found at HUD’s web site at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/pha/contacts/index.cfm.

XIII. Definitions

Hurricane A hurricane is a low pressure weather system, exhibiting winds with a counter-clockwise rotation, of greater than 74 miles per hour.

The official designated hurricane season is June 1 through November 30. Although all hurricanes pose a risk of potential danger and destruction, some are more dangerous than others depending on storm surge, wind, rainfall and other factors. To better predict the hazards of an approaching hurricane, forecasters have divided hurricanes into five categories, with category 1 causing the least amount of damage and category 5 causing the most.

Category 1 Winds of 74-95 mph: Strong enough to cause damage to shrubbery, trees, and mobile homes.

Category 2 Winds of 96-110 mph: Can blow down trees and cause damage to some roofing materials of buildings, windows and doors. Evacuation routes could be affected due to rising water. Strong enough to cause major damage to piers. Marinas may flood and small crafts anchored in protected areas may be lost.

Category 3 Winds of 111-130 mph: Can rip foliage from trees and blow down large trees. Damage to roofing materials of buildings, windows and doors, and some structural damage to small buildings. Strong enough to destroy mobile homes. Coastal and low-lying inland flooding.

Category 4 Winds of 131-155 mph: Shrubs, and trees and signs blown down. Extensive damage

to roofing materials, windows and doors. Total destruction of roofs on small

residences and mobile homes. Flooding and floating debris.

Category 5 Winds greater than 155 mph: The most deadly and destructive category.

Complete roof failures and destruction of residences and industrial buildings.

Shattering of glass in windows and doors. Storm surges and widespread flooding.

64

Regardless of the category, hurricanes can cause both coastal and inland hazards. High tides and flash floods caused by storm surges are likely coastal hazards. Continuous rainfall and runoff from high ground areas causing flooding in low-lying areas is an example of an inland hazard. In addition, inland areas on high ground normally experience damage due to hurricane winds. Building debris is carried by the wind throughout the affected area.

Advisory A message released by the hurricane center, normally at 6-hour intervals, providing updates on the storm or hurricane, including watches and warnings when they are in effect. A special advisory is a message given whenever there is a significant change in weather conditions or change in warnings previously released. Intermediate advisories are issued every 2 to 3 hours, whenever a watch or warning is in effect.

Note: Up-to-date information on hurricanes is also available on the internet www.weather.com or www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Declaration of Emergency When an emergency occurs due to a hurricane, fire, flood, tornados, severe weather or bomb threats or other emergency, it is the responsibility of the DBHA Management to declare an emergency and close the DBHA for business.

Damage Assessment An appraisal or determination of the effects of the disaster on human, physical, economic and natural resources.

Storm surge A rise in tides caused by a hurricane as it moves over or near the coastline.

Gale warning Storm with non-cyclonic winds of an expected speed of 30 to 54 miles per hour.

Preparedness Activities, programs, and systems developed and implemented prior to a disaster/emergency that are used to support and enhance the management of, response to, and recovery from disasters/emergencies.

Recovery In disaster/emergency management situations, activities designed to return conditions to a level conducive to returning to normal business functions.

65

Response In disaster/emergency management situations, activities designed to address the immediate and short-term effects of the disaster/emergency.

Tropical Storm Warning Storm with non-cyclonic winds of an expected speed of 55 to 73 miles per hour.

Hurricane Watch The alert given when a hurricane poses a threat to a coastal area within a 36 hour timeframe.

Hurricane Warning The alert given when a hurricane with a sustained wind speed of 74 miles per hour or more is expected to strike an area within 24 hours. At this stage the hurricane is expected to be accompanied by heavy rain and high waves.

Tornado Watch Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are possible.

Tornado Warning Tornado detected in the area - SEEK SHELTER.

XVI. Model Family Disaster Plan for Residents

• Discuss the type of hazards that could affect your family. Know your home’s vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind.

• Locate a safe room or the safest areas in your home for each hurricane hazard. In certain circumstances the safest areas may not be your home but within your community.

• Determine escape routes from your home and places to meet. These should be measured in tens of miles rather than hundreds of miles.

• Have an out-of-state friend as a family contact, so all your family members have a single point of contact.

• Make a plan now for what to do with your pets if you need to evacuate. • Post emergency telephone numbers by your phones and make sure your

children know how and when to call 911. • Check your insurance coverage - flood damage is not usually covered by

homeowners insurance. • Stock non-perishable emergency supplies and a Disaster Supply Kit.

Water - at least 1 gallon daily per person for 3 to 7 days

Food - at least enough for 3 to 7 days

• non-perishable packaged or canned food / juices

XIX. HUD Emergency Housing Assistance

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Disaster Recovery

“What does HUD offer to victims of disasters in need of housing?” People needing to rent housing may get assistance from HUD’s National Housing Locator System. This data base provides information on available housing by location, [in the immediate area; within the region; or elsewhere nationally]; number of bedrooms needed; and rent levels. HUD staff and participating public housing agencies will assist disaster victims in obtaining information on available rental units. For individuals personally affected by a disaster and requiring permanent housing assistance, HUD offers:

• Section 203(h) of the National Housing Act. Under this special mortgage insurance program, individuals or families whose residence was destroyed or damaged to such an extent that reconstruction or replacement is necessary are eligible for 100 percent financing. Insured mortgages may be used to finance the purchase or reconstruction of a one-family home that will be the principal residence of the homeowner. Section 203(h) offers features that make homeownership easier –

--No down payment is required. --The borrower is eligible for 100 percent financing. --Closing costs and prepaid expenses must be paid by the borrower in cash or paid through premium pricing or by the seller, subject to a 6 percent limitation on seller concessions. --Some fees are limited. Loan origination fee may not exceed 1 %.

Eligible Participants: FHA-approved lending institutions, such as banks and mortgage companies are eligible for Section 203(h) insurance. Application: The borrower’s application for mortgage insurance must be submitted to the lender within one year of the President’s disaster declaration. Applications are made through an FHA-approved lending institution.

73

• Section 203(k) of the National Housing Act. Under this mortgage insurance program, homebuyers may borrow funds from lenders, to purchase or refinance a house that also requires repair, rehabilitation or modernization. A portion of the loan proceeds is used to pay the seller, or, if a refinance, to pay off the existing mortgage. The cost of the rehabilitation must be at least $5,000, but the total value of the property must still fall within the FHA mortgage limit for the area. Section 203(k) borrowers do not pay an upfront mortgage premium.

Eligible Participants: FHA-approved lending institutions, such as banks and mortgage companies. Eligible Customers: All persons who can make monthly mortgage payments.

• Section 203(k) “Streamline Program.” The Limited Repair Program permits homebuyers to finance an additional $35,000 into their existing mortgage to improve or upgrade their home before move-in. • Property Improvement Loan Insurance (Title I). The Title I program insures loans for up to 20 years, to finance the light or moderate rehabilitation of properties, as well as the construction of nonresidential buildings on the property. The maximum loan amount is $25,000 (for single family or nonresidential buildings, and $12,000 per family unit, not to exceed a total of $60,000 for a multifamily structure. These are fixed-rate loans whose interest rates are not subsidized by HUD.

Eligible Lenders: Only lenders approved by HUD specifically for this program can make loans covered by Title I Insurance. Application: Applications must be submitted to a Title I approved lender.

• HUD Real Estate Owned (REO) Properties. HUD sells single family homes that it has foreclosed on. People interested in buying a HUD-home in their general area must contact a real estate sales professional who is authorized to sell HUD homes (most are). Your sales professional will submit a bid for you. For properties outside of a prospective buyer’s area, consult the HUD web-site: http://www.hud.gov/homes/index.cfm. A real estate sales professional is still needed to offer a bid on any property. • Public Housing. People displaced by a disaster may find temporary or permanent housing in vacant properties owned by public housing authorities (PHA). Disaster victims must be income-eligible (low income) and PHAs must be willing to give priority to disaster victims. HUD Disaster Volunteers may locate vacant PHA units using the National Housing Locator System. A directory of PHAs may be found at HUD’s web site at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/pha/contacts/index.cfm.

• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). HUD funds States and local governments with annual CDBG grants that may be used to provide loans or grants to rehabilitate residential buildings damaged by a disaster. Some local governments receive annual grants directly from HUD. State governments also receive annual grants that may be used to fund smaller local governments. CDBG recipients may be found at the following HUD web site: http://www.comcon.org/programs/contact_cdbg.html. • HOME Investment Partnerships Program. HUD funds States and local governments with annual HOME grants that may be used to provide loans or grants to: buy housing; rehabilitate disaster buildings; build new housing; or provide short-term tenant-based rental assistance. HOME funding distribution is similar to CDBG. HOME participating jurisdictions may be found at the following HUD web site: http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/affordablehousingprograms/programs/home/contacts/.
