Hurricane Irma–Florida: Sept. 11, 2017 'Humanitarian Crisis' Looms in the Keys; Nearly 6 Million Without Power Statewide A flash flood emergency was declared for downtown Jacksonville, Fla., early Monday as Irma continued its assault on Florida with damaging winds, heavy rain and storm surge. Water was rising in the downtown area of Jacksonville as the winds switch to the south, pushing water northward into downtown, according to the National Weather Service. “Jacksonville suffered a double whammy of storm surge pushing in from the Atlantic Ocean, backing up the St. Johns River, then over 8 inches of rain that couldn’t drain to the ocean,” a weather.com senior meteorologist, Jon Erdman, said. “If there is a bit of good news, the heaviest rain is ending in the metro area.” More than 26 river gauges in the north of the state are in major flood stage. More than 5.9 million people were without power in Florida alone on Monday morning and at least three deaths have been attributed to the storm. Two deaths occurred in Hardee County and one was reported in Orange County. Nearly 7 million residents–roughly one-third of the state’s population–evacuated Florida ahead of the storm. “This is a storm of epic proportions,” Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday afternoon. Later in the afternoon, President Donald Trump approved a major disaster declaration for the state of Florida. The Keys Martin Senterfitt, emergency management director for Morgan County, said a "humanitarian crisis" is looming in the middle and upper Florida Keys after the massive storm made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane early Sunday, the Miami Herald reports. The full extent of the damage is yet unknown on the 110-mile chain of islands, but Senterfitt said fatalities are expected. Monroe County Administrator Roman Gastesi said crews will begin going house to house Monday to search for people who need help and to assess damage. A large airborne relief mission mounted by the Air Force and Air National Guard was being organized, Senterfitt said, including “disaster mortuary teams.” Help is on its way,” Senterfitt said in a statement obtained by the Miami Herald. “We’re going to get more aid than we’ve ever seen in our lives.” The center of Irma’s eye crossed Cudjoe Key, 20 miles east of Key West, packing 130-mph winds. With Irma's eye passing east of Key West, locals say the island may have fared better than feared, but severe damage is still being reported. The storm knocked out power throughout the Keys and damaged some of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority’s transmission lines, which may cripple the flow of fresh water to the island chain. Key Largo resident John Huston told the Associated Press that there were whiteout conditions with howling winds that sucked the water out of the gulf side of the island, where the tide is typically 8 feet deep. He added that he could see that structures has weathered the storm, but there was a lot of debris on the ground. Miami The state’s largest electric utility, Florida Power & Light, told the Associated Press that nearly 3.3 million homes and businesses were without power in Miami-Dade County alone.

The Keys • Martin Senterfitt, emergency management director for Morgan County, said a "humanitarian crisis" is looming in the

middle and upper Florida Keys after the massive storm made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane early Sunday, the Miami Herald reports.

• The full extent of the damage is yet unknown on the 110-mile chain of islands, but Senterfitt said fatalities are expected.

• Monroe County Administrator Roman Gastesi said crews will begin going house to house Monday to search for people who need help and to assess damage.

• A large airborne relief mission mounted by the Air Force and Air National Guard was being organized, Senterfitt said, including “disaster mortuary teams.”

• “Help is on its way,” Senterfitt said in a statement obtained by the Miami Herald. “We’re going to get more aid than we’ve ever seen in our lives.”

• The center of Irma’s eye crossed Cudjoe Key, 20 miles east of Key West, packing 130-mph winds. • With Irma's eye passing east of Key West, locals say the island may have fared better than feared, but severe

damage is still being reported. • The storm knocked out power throughout the Keys and damaged some of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority’s

transmission lines, which may cripple the flow of fresh water to the island chain. • Key Largo resident John Huston told the Associated Press that there were whiteout conditions with howling winds

that sucked the water out of the gulf side of the island, where the tide is typically 8 feet deep. He added that he could see that structures has weathered the storm, but there was a lot of debris on the ground.

Miami • The state’s largest electric utility, Florida Power & Light, told the Associated Press that nearly 3.3 million homes and

businesses were without power in Miami-Dade County alone. There are roughly 7 million residential customers in the state.

• Late Sunday morning, a large crane was heavily damaged by strong winds on Northeast 3rd Street in Miami and

collapsed onto several buildings, according to Local10.com. No injuries were reported, but residents were warned ahead of time about the 25 or so cranes in the city that were not dismantled before the storm arrived, the report added.

• A second crane collapse was reported not far from the first incident later in the day; in nearby Fort Lauderdale, a third crane crash was reported at a beach project site Sunday.

• Miami International Airport said Sunday that all flights have been canceled until further notice, according to a release. • The airport was battered by wind gusts of more than 100 mph and suffered significant water damage, the Miami

Herald reports. • The terminal released a travel advisory saying no passenger flights are scheduled for Monday, but some airlines will

be flying personnel and crew members in preparation for flights to resume. Officials are waiting for damage assessments to be completed before deciding whether or not to resume operations on Tuesday.

• Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has said it has no scheduled time for reopening. • Baptist Health South Florida is sheltering more than 6,000 people in its five Miami-Dade hospitals. The total includes

1,400 patients, roughly 3,000 doctors and nurses and their 3,000 family members. • Northwest of Miami, officials in the city of Hialeah said widespread power outages affected the sewer pump system,

and some backups may occur until repairs are completed.

Marco Island/Naples • The storm made its second landfall on Marco Island Sunday as a Category 3 hurricane with winds of up to 115 mph

and gusts of 142 mph reported near Naples. The storm hammered Florida after leaving massive damage and 23 dead in the Caribbean.

• A tide gauge in Naples reported a 7-foot rise in water levels in just 90 minutes late Sunday, the National Weather Service reported.

Tampa • Eight people were displaced in Lakeland after a tree was downed on top of their home, according to the Lakeland

Fire Department. There were no injuries reported. • In Clearwater, a motorist sustained minor injuries after a vehicle was flipped on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard Sunday,

according to the local police department. • Tampa International Airport ceased operations Saturday and has not yet said when it plans to reopen. • A Polk County sheriff's deputy and a paramedic were trapped for two hours in a cruiser Sunday night east of Tampa

after winds knocked a utility pole onto the cruiser late Sunday. Both were rescued unharmed, the AP reports. • The storm provided a rare sight for residents along Florida's west coast: Hurricane Irma’s power pushed water away

from the coast and left bays dry–so dry that people could walk farther from the coast than they ever had before.

Orlando • More than 120 homes were being evacuated early Monday in Orange County, just outside the city of Orlando, as

floodwaters started to pour in, the AP reports. • The National Guard and the local fire department are going door-to-door and using boats to ferry families to safety,

county officials told AP. • Orlando International Airport shut down Saturday and has said it will not reopen to passenger traffic until the storm

has passed, damage assessments have been completed, and necessary recovery efforts are made, AP reports. The terminal also said it is waiting for the airlines to be consulted to determine when is best to resume operations.

Pets and Animals Make a Plan Remember, during a disaster what’s good for you is good for your pet, so get them ready today. If you leave your pets behind, they may be lost, injured, or worse. Never leave a pet chained outdoors. Plan options include: • Create a buddy system in case you’re not home. Ask a trusted neighbor to check on your animals. • Identify shelters. For public health reasons, many emergency shelters cannot accept pets. - Find pet friendly hotels along your evacuation route and keep a list in your pet’s emergency kit. - Locate boarding facilities or animal hospitals near your evacuation shelter. - Consider an out-of-town friend or relative

• Locate a veterinarian or animal hospital in the area where you may be seeking temporary shelter, in case your pet needs medical care. Add the contact information to your emergency kit.

• Have your pet is microchipped and make sure that you not only keep your address and phone number up-to-date, but that you also include contact info for an emergency contact outside of your immediate area.

• Call your local emergency management office, animal shelter or animal control office to get advice and information. • If you are unable to return to your home right away, you may need to board your pet. Find out where pet boarding

facilities are located. • Most boarding kennels, veterinarians and animal shelters will need your pet’s medical records to make sure all

vaccinations are current. • If you have no alternative but to leave your pet at home, there are some precautions you must take, but remember

that leaving your pet at home alone can place your animal in great danger!

Tips for Large Animals If you have large animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, goats or pigs on your property, be sure to prepare before a disaster. • Ensure all animals have some form of identification. • Evacuate animals whenever possible. Map out primary and secondary routes in advance. • Make available vehicles and trailers needed for transporting and supporting each type of animal. Also make available

experienced handlers and drivers. • Ensure destinations have food, water, veterinary care and handling equipment. • If evacuation is not possible, animal owners must decide whether to move large animals to shelter or turn them

outside. •

Build a Kit Include basic survival items and items to keep your pet happy and comfortable. Start with this list, or download Preparing Makes Sense for Pet Owners-Emergency Preparedness Pet Kit List (PDF) to find out exactly what items your pet needs to be Ready. • Food. At least a three-day supply in an airtight, waterproof container. • Water. At least three days of water specifically for your pets. • Medicines and medical records. • Important documents. Registration information, adoption papers and vaccination documents. Talk to your veterinarian

about microchipping and enrolling your pet in a recovery database. • First aid kit. Cotton bandage rolls, bandage tape and scissors; antibiotic ointment; flea and tick prevention; latex

gloves, isopropyl alcohol and saline solution. Including a pet first aid reference book is a good idea too. • Collar or harness with ID tag, rabies tag and a leash. • Crate or pet carrier. Have a sturdy, safe crate or carrier in case you need to evacuate. The carrier should be large

enough for your pet to stand, turn around and lie down.

• Sanitation. Pet litter and litter box if appropriate, newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags and household chlorine bleach.

• Familiar items. Familiar items, such as treats, toys and bedding can help reduce stress for your pet.

contacting you directly on behalf of FEMA to sign you up for debris removal or remediation services. • If you have any concerns about individuals representing themselves as FEMA or would like to report fraud, please

contact the National Center for Disaster Fraud at 866.720.5721 or via email at [email protected]. • Federal and state workers never ask for, or accept, money and always carry identification badges. • There is no fee required to apply for or to get disaster assistance from FEMA, the U.S. Small Business Administration

or the state. • Scam attempts can be made over the phone, by mail or email, text or in person.

Price Gouging Price gouging occurs when a supplier marks up the price of an item more than is justified by his actual costs. Survivors are particularly susceptible because their needs are immediate, and have few alternatives to choose from. If you find price gouging, contact you the Florida State Office of the Attorney General. Report Price Gouging

• Call: 1.866.966.7226 • Price Gouging Complaint form

Dealing with Contractors: Survivors should take steps to protect themselves and avoid fraud when hiring contractors to clean property, remove debris or make repairs. Simple rules to avoid becoming a victim of fraud: • Only use contractors licensed by your state • Get a written estimate and get more than one estimate • Demand and check references • Ask for proof of insurance, including liability and Workmen's Compensation • Insist on a written contract and refuse to sign a contract with blank spaces • Get any guarantees in writing • Make final payments only after the work is completed • Pay by check • The best way to avoid fraud is to arm yourself against it by having a checklist to remind you of what you need to

demand when hiring a contractor Source: https://www.fema.gov/hurricane-irma
