Cn Executive Summary This study was undertaken as a cooperative ef fort of the Metro-Dade Office of Emergency Management (OEM) , the Metro-Dade Planning Department (PD), and the University of Miami Boating Research Center (BRC) for the purpose of generating primary data on the potential hurricane evacuation plans of berthed boat owners in Dade County, Florida. A mail survey questionnaire was designed not only to survey the evacuation plans of berthed boat owners, but also to determine the extent of advance preparation that could be expected from those boat owners in the event of a hurricane. of the 1000 survey questionnaires mailed, 323 legible responses were received. Additionally, potential hurricane evacuation patterns of the respondents were analyzed in order to evaluate alternative evacuation programs and policies. The findings of this study may be briefly stated: * The respondents to this study were found to be generally responsible and concerned with regard to the safety of their craft in the event of a hurricane. * The majority of respondents have insurance for damage to their boat and for the damage that their boat may cause to others. * The majority of respondents wished to have more information concerning the appropriate actions to be taken in the event of a hurricane. * The respondents were generally not aware of the legality and practicality of occupying their indicated hurricane destination. * The sufficiency of physical space for hurricane destinations in Dade County is unknown. In response to the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made: * The County, in cooperation with marine agencies, should continue its efforts to provide educational information to all boat owners with regard to hurricane preparedness. * The procedures for locating a hurricane refuge and securing a vessel should be made available to all owners facing mandatory evacuation from their marina. * Berthed boat owners should secure contractual mooring agreements. * Marinas that require evacuation of berthed boats in the I event of a hurricane, should make every ef fort to inform each owner of this intention and of the consequences should they not comply with this policy. * All marinas, regardless of their evacuation policy, should require a hurricane plan from each wet slip lessee as a prerequisite for wet slip rental. * Marinas that require evacuation of berthed boats in the event of a hurricane, should require the boat owner's hurricane plan to specify the intended hurricane destination, and include a statement from the owner that certifies that a trial run has been made within the past year. * The County should use the results of this study to assist in evaluating the efficacy of mandatory berthed boat evacuation in County marinas. Subsequent marine hurricane preparedness studies should be conducted to address, at least, the following two specific issues: * The location and capacities of potential hurricane refuge sites must be accurately determined. Current data on the location, accessibility, and capacity of hurricane refuge sites is very limited. Additional field work in this area is essential to determine the viability of mandatory marina evacuation. * Marine evacuation clearance times should be studied in more detail. An appropriate model for this type of study would be computer simulation. in a simulation model, each boat could be tracked through the marine network over time. This would allow vessel characteristics such as size, speed, and maneuverability to be studied as they affect each boat's ability to perform a safe evacuation in congested waterways under adverse weather conditions. 2 1.0 Introduction The purpose of this study was the generation of primary data on the potential hurricane evacuation plans of berthed boat owners in Dade County, Florida. The study was designed not only to survey the evacuation plans of berthed boat owners, but also to determine the extent of advance preparation that could be expected from those boat owners in the event of a hurricane. Additionally, potential berthed boat hurricane evacuation patterns were analyzed in order to evaluate alternative evacuation programs and policies. This study was a cooperative effort of the Metro-Dade office of Emergency Management (OEM), the Metro-Dade Planning Department (PD), and the University of Miami Boating Research Center (BRC). Data collection was done through a mail survey of berthed boat owners in marinas in Dade County, Florida. The analysis of these data will be used to provide information to the Office of Emergency Management for the purpose of updating the County's Hurricane Evacuation Plan. The survey methods and the analyses of berthed boat evacuation patterns used in this study are described in detail in this report. This final report will be made available to the Florida Departments of Community Affairs, Environmental Regulation, and Natural Resources. The report will also be made available to other local governments throughout the State of Florida to assist them in analyzing the magnitude and scope of problems associated with marine hurricane evacuation patterns and plans in their area. Although Dade County has not been hit by a major hurricane since 1965, the number of boats berthed in both county- and privately-owned marinas has increased substantially during the past few years. Under the current policy, when a hurricane warning is issued, most public marinas, and some private marinas, require boat owners to remove their boats. By the time the evacuation order is issued during the hurricane warning period, it is generally considered unsafe to be on the water. As the hurricane approaches, sea, wind, and other conditions may inhibit or prohibit boat movements. For example, when sustained winds reach 35 miles per hour, bascule bridges are locked in the down position preventing many sailboats from entering certain waterways. An additional concern among boat owners is how to identify and locate areas for refuge in a hurricane. Areas well known by the public may not be available in time of emergency. The County's best known hurricane destination, the Miami River, is no longer considered to be a good hurricane refuge because the United States Coast Guard will no longer provide traffic control at the mouth of the River and the South Florida Water Management District has embarked a campaign to educate boaters on the risks of anchoring on the river. 3 The problems associated with marine hurricane preparedness include the increasing number of wet stored boats in Dade County, the fact that a substantial number of boats in wet storage are owned by non-Dade County residents, and the lack of hurricane experience among boat owners. The lack of time for preparation and the possible unavailability of space for safe haven could be catastrophic if a major hurricane were to strike the area. As a first step in addressing these concerns, the Metro Dade Planning Department, the Office of Emergency Management, and the University of Miami Boating Research Center have obtained a Coastal Zone Management Grant in the amount of $50,000 to obtain primary data on the hurricane evacuation plans and experiences of the berthed boat owners in Dade County, Florida. The data were generated by mail survey. Responses from the survey were validated and analyzed by the Boating Research Center to provide information to the Metro Dade Office of Emergency Management. Specifically, the study investigated the intentions of boat owners in public and private marinas in Dade County in the event of a hurricane, identified areas of potential problems or conflicts, and suggested appropriate solutions. To accomplish these goals, four tasks were undertaken. The first was the formulation of a sampling plan, i.e. the selection of the boats and marinas to be included in the study, and the validation of the berthed boats' registration information by cross- tabulation with the State of Florida vessel registration files. Once the sampling plan was formulated, the second task was the development and validation of the survey questionnaire. This task included holding a public meeting to discuss the proposed survey and questionnaire design as well as conducting a pilot study. Using this information , the third task was the actual collection of the survey data and the entry of the primary survey data into a machine readable database. Finally, the fourth task involved the analysis of the survey data and the preparation of the project report. The remainder of this report is devoted to the discussion of the project tasks described above. Each of the project tasks is detailed below in a separate section of this report. An attempt is made to describe the methods and results in sufficient detail so that this study may be useful to other coastal localities that may need to evaluate the marine aspects of their hurricane emergency management plans. A final section of this report discusses the conclusions that may be drawn from the results of this study and makes several recommendations with regard to emergency planning and possible extensions of this work that may be of future interest. 4 2.0 Formulation of the Sampling Plan and Validation of Berthed Boat Registration Information 2.1 Identification of Marinas to be Included in the Study The Dade County Planning Department provided the Boating Research Center with an inventory of marinas with ten or more berths and a list of berthed boat owners in those marinas. The inventory included 88 public and private marinas. The list included the names of 3007 berthed boat owners. The inventory of marinas included in this study is shown in Exhibit 1. 2.2 Validation of Berthed Boat Registrations The Boating Research Center verified the list of berthed boat owners in the marina inventory provided by the County by cross- tabulating the number of wet slips in the marinas, number of berthed boats in each marina, and the number of names of berthed boat owners in each marina. The Center then merged the file of owners of berthed boats in county marinas with the 1989 Florida vessel registration file. The merging was done to validate the boat characteristics and the names and addresses of boat owners in the inventory. Exhibits I and 2 show the results of the cross- verification and the merging of these files. As can be seen in the exhibits, cross-verification of the inventory was necessary to check the consistency of the individual data records. In Exhibit 2, for example, the total number of names and addresses in the inventory is 294 less than the actual number of berthed boats in the marina. In some marinas, the total number of berthed boats in the inventory exceeded the actual number of boats present in the wet slips. It was discovered that this anomaly was due to the erroneous addition of boats in dry storage to the berthed boat inventory. At this initial stage of the study, it was felt that boat characteristics and the geographic location of the berthed boats would affect the survey responses to questions probing evacuation plans. Consequently, it was necessary to stratify the sample used for the pilot survey. Stratification of the pilot survey would allow the determination of any significant differences by geographic region or by boat type within the population. In order to obtain boat characteristics, it was necessary to match the berthed boat owner's name and address with a record in the Florida Vessel registration file. In the final analysis, the merging of the files resulted in a total of 1760 records with names, addresses and boat characteristics that could be used in the sampling frame for the pilot study. 5 3.0 Development and Validation of the Survey Questionnaire 3.1 Questionnaire Survey Design Using standard survey design methodology, the Boating Research Center developed a preliminary questionnaire for the mail survey. The questionnaire was then given to the Of fice of Emergency Management and Dade County Planning Office for comments and suggestions. The changes proposed by these offices were discussed and considered and incorporated into the questionnaire for presentation at the Hurricane Preparedness Workshop. A public workshop on the proposed hurricane survey was held on March 2, 1990. The purpose of the workshop was to hear the ideas and suggestions of the boating community about the hurricane study. Exhibit 3 shows the sample letter inviting members of the boating community to the workshop and the names and affiliations of the invitees. A diverse group of people attended the workshop and a number of recommendations for improving the survey were given. Exhibit 4 shows the suggestions for the survey questionnaire which were brought up during the workshop. Based on these suggestions, the Boating Research Center, the Office of Emergency Management, and the Planning Department finalized the survey questionnaire to be used for the pilot survey. Exhibit 5 shows the cover letter and the survey questionnaire for the pilot study. 3.2 The Pilot Survey The pilot study was conducted by the Boating Research Center. The pilot study was designed to estimate the response rate of the questionnaire, to measure significant variances in the survey responses, to assess the ambiguities in the prepared questionnaire, and to examine the necessity of stratifying the sampling frame according to geographical location and type of boat. The pilot survey population consisted of berthed boat owners in Dade County for which name, address, and boat characteristic data were available. The sampling frame was the list of berthed boat owners in marinas/condo/etc. in Dade county with 10 or more slips provided by the Dade County Planning Department. The list contained 2965 useable names, addresses, and/or registration numbers of berthed boat owners. This list was merged with the Florida Vessel Registration File to determine the type of boats berthed in the marinas. 1760 names with corresponding boat characteristics were extracted from the registration file. The 1760 names were stratified according to geographical location of the marina (North, Central, and South Dade) and the boat type. ( Exhibit 6 shows the distribution of the names according to geographical location and boat type). From this list, 6 128 names were chosen for the pilot study. To avoid any possibility of bias (i.e. including only the boat owners found in the registration file) a sample of 30 was also taken from the pool of boat owners not found in the registration file. Most of these boats were documented vessels and the majority of these were not documented in Florida. 3.3 Pilot Survey Results The pilot survey was mailed and a 34 % response rate was realized. Exhibits 7 and 8 present the results and analysis of the pilot survey. Briefly, several points were noted. First, the chi square tests showed that stratification by geographic region was needed as hurricane refuge sites are found to be dependent upon marina location. Second, it was found that stratification of the sample by boat type was not required. The survey indicated that other population characteristics were independent of the type of boat considered. Third, ambiguities were found to exist in several questions of the pilot survey questionnaire. In question 11, for example, ambiguities arose from the inclusion of boats in dry storage in the sampling frame. In question 25, insurance coverage and damages were found not to be sufficiently specific. Question 27 revealed the inability of respondents to match correctly the names and years of occurrence of various hurricanes. These points were used to refine both the final questionnaire design and the sampling plan. These issues are discussed in greater detail in the next section. 4.0 Data Collection and Entry of Response Data into a Computerized Database 4.1 Development of the Final Survey Questionnaire Based on the results of the pilot survey, several changes were recommended and incorporated into the final survey. First, the BRC recommended that the list of boat owners should be improved by the Metro-Dade Planning Department to eliminate the names of boat owners with boats in dry storage at the marinas. Due to time and personnel limitations, however, the Planning Department was not able to improve the list. To correct the error of including boats in dry storage in the final survey, the possible responses for question 11 were augmented to include the possibility that the boat may be in dry storage. Second, questions 25 and 26 of the survey were clarified to ask specifically for insurance coverage and damages incurred. Finally, question 27 was simplified to requesting the year of the incident hurricane rather than the name. The final survey questionnaire is shown in Exhibit 9. 4.2 Selection of sample size The sample size required for the final survey may be determined using standard statistical methodology. The data obtained from the survey are nominal in nature, hence we are interested in estimating the proportion of responses in the various response categories. Given a total population of finite size, a tolerable error amount, and an allowable risk level of making that tolerable error, the required sample size, may be calculated using the following statistical formula: N z2 p q n = (N-1) e2 + z2 p q where n is the required sample size, N is the size of the finite population, z is the normal random variate associated with the specified risk level, p is the estimated population proportion of interest, q is equal to I-p, and e is the tolerable error level. For the above formula, the required values are obtained from the sampling frame, estimated from the pilot survey, or specified by the researchers. The size of the finite population, N, used in this determination was 2754. The value of the random normal variate, z, associated with a 95% risk (confidence) level may be found in a statistical table and is equal to 1.96. The population proportions, p, being surveyed are estimated at the conservative value of .5. Note that p=q=.5 maximizes the value of p*q and hence maximizes the sample size. The tolerable error level, e, was 8 assumed to be .05. Using these values the required sample was calculated to be 337.2. This sample size was rounded up to 338 responses. Hence 338 sample responses were needed to insure a confidence of 95 % of being within +/- .05 of any population proportion estimated. Assuming a 34 -% response rate as determined in the pilot study, the number of surveys required to be mailed to garner 338 returns is 994. As a matter of convenience, it was decided to mail 1000 surveys. The survey mailing of 1000 names and addresses was selected from the 2754 names and addresses in the final sampling frame. The selections were stratified according to geographic location in proportion to the number of berthed boats in each region. The following is the distribution of samples according to the geographic location of the marina: North: 95 South: 242 Central: 663 4.3 Data collection, data entry, and survey response The Boating Research Center prepared a file in dBase format for data entry. This was given to the Metro-Dade Planning Department for the purpose of entering the responses from the mail survey. The Metro Dade Planning Department entered data from 330 responses in the file. The file was then given back to the BRC for analysis. Subsequently, the BRC received 20 additional responses from the mail survey. These were added to the file. Of 1000 questionnaires mailed, a total of 350 responses were received. Fifteen of these questionnaires were disregarded because they were not completed by the respondent. Of the 335 remaining, only 323 were legible and consistent. 5.0 Data Analysis 5.1 Frequency analysis A f requency analysis of the survey data is presented in Exhibits 10 and 11 . The typical respondent's boat is 30 to 40 feet in length with a 6 to 10 foot beam. The most likely draft is 3 feet. The typical height of the boat is 40 to 49 feet implying a sailboat. Indeed, 57 % of the respondents were sailboat owners. Almost 95 1% of the boats were constructed of fiberglass. The typical boat of the respondents was of the 1970 to 1980 model vintage, and had been purchased within the last four years. Over 65 % of the survey respondents in Dade County have been boat owners for more than five years. They have typically kept their boat in the marina in which it is currently berthed for more than five years. Most of the berthed boats are not trailerable. only 24 % of the respondents have trailerable boats. 68 1% of those who can trailer their boats own a trailer. 12 % of the respondents indicated that they would trailer their boat in the event the threat of a hurricane required marina evacuation. The respondents are generally aware whether or not their marina requires evacuation if a hurricane threatens. 73 % responded that their marina required evacuation and 67 % said they intended to move their boat. 64 % planned to move their boat more than 48 hours before the expected landfall of the storm. The time of the actual response indicated by the respondents, however, was much nearer the expected landfall of the storm, 24 to 48 hours before landfall. it is important to note that the hurricane experiences indicated in the responses were often inconsistent. There is no way to determine whether the respondents' hurricane experiences were gained in Dade County or elsewhere. Although a high percentage of survey respondents plan to move their boats when a hurricane threatens, 39 % do not know where to move them. Of those respondents who specified a destination in their evacuation plan, 17.8 % chose the Miami River, 8 % chose the Coral Gables Waterway, 3.7 -% specified inland canals, and 3% indicated Biscayne Bay. Only 10 -% of those who intend to move their boats have a written contract for a hurricane mooring. 50 % of the respondents have arranged for pickup from their hurricane moorings and 59%A have conducted a dry run. 5.2 Cross-tabulation Analysis The analysis of the cross-tabulations of the data from the 10 survey respondents'I hurricane evacuation plans reveals several interesting results. First, as noted in the pilot study, there exist three distinct geographic areas with respect to berthed boats in Dade County. For the purposes of this study the three areas were denoted north, central, and south, The north region begins at the mouth of the Miami River and continues north to the Broward County line. The central region begins at the Miami River and continues south to southwest 88th street. The south region begins at southwest 88th street and continues south to the Monroe County line. Second, the three geographic regions in the County differ not only in the typical types of boats in their marinas, but also in the planning and preparation of their boat owners for hurricane evacuation. Finally, traits that are not signif icantly dif ferent across the various marinas include the length of boat ownership, the decision of when to move the boat if it is to be moved, and the acquisition of insurance coverage. Exhibit 12 shows the cross tabulation by geographic location. Exhibit 13 shows the cross- tabulation by marina. The types of boats berthed in the marinas of the different geographic regions were found to be significantly different. In the northern region, which follows the intercostal waterway, most of the marinas are small privately owned facilities. The typical boat in this area is a power boat. In the central and southern regions, which have direct access to Biscayne Bay, the predominant mode of propulsion is sail. The sailboats tend to be taller, have less horsepower, and are not trailerable. An examination of hurricane evacuation plans in the three geographic regions revealed several significant differences. First, with regard to whether or not the respondents planned to move their boats, the respondents in the central region, i.e. marinas in Key Biscayne and Coconut Grove, overwhelming said they would move their boats, while in the north and the south the majority of respondents said they would not. If fact, the majority of respondents in the northern region said that they were not required to move their boat. In the southern region, although respondents admitted that they were required to move their boats, the majority said that they did not intend to do so. Thorough preparation for an evacuation prior to a hurricane includes a practice run to the refuge site and arranging for someone to pickup the boat captain and bring them to their home. The responses were again significantly different for these issues. Only in the central region did a majority of respondents indicate that they had made a dry run and that they had arranged a pickup. This was not true in the northern and southern regions. Finally it was noted in the responses of the survey that the amount of information an hurricane evacuation available at the various marinas was perceived to be significantly different. The respondents in the central region believed that information was 11 generally available, while the respondents in the northern region were evenly split between available and not available. The respondents in the southern region indicated that hurricane evacuation information was not generally available. 5.3 Development of the Geographic Information System and Creation of the Marine Traffic Network Model In an effort to use the data obtained in the survey of berthed boat owners to evaluate different hurricane evacuation plan scenarios, a marine traffic model was developed utilizing a geographic inf ormation system. The geographic inf ormation system f or used f or this study was the ARCINFO system developed by the Environmental Systems Research Laboratory (ESRI). ARCINFO is sophisticated software system that allows the creation and manipulation of various geographic and mapping data. The map of Dade County used in this study was obtained from the Dade County Planning Department. The map is designed in ARCINFO format and includes the latest location and attribute information for the marinas and hurricane destinations in this study. The results of the hurricane evacuation survey of berthed boat owners allow origin/destination information for individual boat owners to be obtained. The survey results were then generalized for the remainder of the berthed boat owners in the marinas of the study. The destinations of the berthed boats were allocated proportionally to the destinations indicated in the survey. The movement of boats from marinas to hurricane destinations in the model was accomplished through the use of a network flow model. In the network model, each marina becomes a source node supplying boats to the network. Each specified hurricane destination becomes a sink for boat traf fic. Connecting the sources and destinations is a marine traffic network containing arcs that represent the legs of navigable marine routes. These marine routes were obtained through the use of National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maps and depth charts and in consultation with a NOAA marine specialist. The marine traffic network developed for this study included 88 marinas identified in the marina inventory as requiring evacuation. The total number of boats in these marinas is 2299. Additionally, there were 20 hurricane destination areas identified by survey respondents. A list of these hurricane destinations may be found in Exhibit 14. A map of the marine traf fic network used in this study is shown in Exhibit 15. 5.4 Analysis of the Network Model Using the Netsolve Program The determination of the movement or flow of boats through the marine network was accomplished through the use of programming package called Netsolve. Netsolve is an interactive software 12 package for network analysis developed by Upstate Resources, Inc. (URI). Netsolve uses optimization algorithms to determine minimum cost flow allocations in capacitated networks. Network models suitable for this type of optimization are characterized by nodes of three basic types: source nodes, sink nodes, and transshipment nodes. Source nodes are points from which f low into the network originates. In the marine traffic model of this study, the marinas are source nodes. The boats that evacuate the marinas as a hurricane approaches are the units of flow that are dispatched into the network. Sink nodes are points into which flow in the network terminates. The hurricane destinations represent the sink nodes in this application. Finally, the transshipment nodes are points at which flow is conserved. That is, the flow into the transshipment point is equal to the flow out of the point. The navigational way points of the evacuation routes are transshipment points of the model. The results of the evacuation plan survey indicated that 30% of all the respondents did not have an evacuation plan. Based upon the assumption that if a boat owner was forced to evacuate the marina the owner would follow other owners who had a plan, the total number of boats from each marina allocated to a specific hurricane destination was adjusted to reflect the proportion of respondents from the marina who designated that hurricane destination. The model was then run to determine the marine traffic patterns that would disburse all the boats to hurricane destinations in a minimum total distance. It is important to note that because reliable information on capacities was not available, the hurricane destinations in the marine traffic network were defined with unlimited capacities. The model was executed for each marina. The results were then combined to determine the total number of boats destined for a particular location and to determine where congestion may exist along the marine traffic network. The results of the model execution are presented in Exhibit 16. Of the 2299 boats moving over the network, 859 are seeking refuge in the Miami River. The heaviest traffic intensity is over the link J to K between the Rickenbacker Causeway and the mouth of the Miami River. Over a period of 24 hours, 644 boats will traverse this link. The second most popular destination is the Coral Gables Waterway, which will have 250 boats. This would represent 11 % of the total boats moving over the network. At the present time, Coral Gables police intend to enforce a policy that would prohibit any boats entering the waterway without a signed mooring contract. Since only 6.5 % of the boat owners surveyed have such agreements, one could at best suspect that 149 boats would be allowed into the waterway leaving over a hundred boat owners to seek refuge elsewhere at the time of an impending hurricane landfall. 13 6.0 Conclusions and Recommendations 6.1 Overview The survey of hurricane evacuation plans of berthed boat owners in Dade County, Florida revealed a number of points of interest to those responsible for emergency planning and management in the County. The results of this study showed that the intentions, plans, and preparations of the respondents differed significantly across the natural geographic strata of the County's water resources. Respondents north of the mouth of the Miami River occupying private slips did not intend to move their boats in the event of a hurricane. Respondents in the region from the Miami River south to southwest 88th street were generally aware of the requirement to move their boat, were prepared to move, and had made a practice evacuation run. Respondents in the county marinas south of southwest 88th street, however, generally knew of the requirement to evacuate their marina, but had no intention of doing so. Judging from the tone of the written comments on the survey forms, many of the southern region respondents felt that their marinas were safe refuge sites and that they could not improve their condition by evacuating. In many cases, information, or the lack thereof, was an important factor. The survey results found that the respondents had significantly different perceptions of the availability of information concerning hurricane evacuation procedures. Only those respondents in the central region felt that they had been given adequate information. Many of the respondents asked for any additional information that may be available and even offered to pay for it. Exhibit 17 presents a tabulation of the respondent's comments and suggestions. Finally, the study was unable to determine whether there is a shortage of space that would provide hurricane refuge to the berthed boats in Dade County. Additionally, it was generally found that the respondents had not made adequate preparation in securing mooring agreements, making practice evacuation runs, and arranging pickup at the destination site. 6.2 Conclusions The findings of this study may be briefly stated: * The respondents to this study were found to be generally responsible and concerned with regard to the safety of their craft in the event of a hurricane. * The majority of respondents have insurance for damage to their boat and for the damage that their boat may cause to others. 14 * The majority of respondents wished to have more information concerning the appropriate actions to be taken in the event of a hurricane. * The respondents were generally not aware of the legality and practicality of occupying their indicated hurricane destination. * The sufficiency of physical space for hurricane destinations in Dade County is unknown. 6.3 Recommendations In response to the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made: * The County, in cooperation with marine agencies, should continue its efforts to provide educational information to all boat owners with regard to hurricane preparedness. * The procedures for locating a hurricane refuge and securing a vessel should be made available to all owners facing mandatory evacuation from their marina. * Berthed boat owners should secure contractual mooring agreements. * Marinas that require evacuation of berthed boats in the event of a hurricane, should make every effort to inform each owner of this intention and of the consequences should they not comply with this policy. * All marinas, regardless of their evacuation policy, should require a hurricane plan from each wet slip lessee as a prerequisite for wet slip rental. * Marinas that require evacuation of berthed boats in the event of a hurricane, should require the boat owner's hurricane plan to specify the intended hurricane destination, and include a statement from the owner that certifies that a trial run has been made within the past year. * The County should use the results of this study to assist in evaluating the efficacy of mandatory berthed boat * ~~~~evacuation in County marinas. Subsequent marine hurricane preparedness studies should be conducted to address, at least, the following two specific issues: * The location and capacities of potential hurricane refuge sites must be accurately determined. Current data on the 15 location, accessibility, and capacity of hurricane refuge sites is very limited. Additional field work in this area is essential to determine the viability of mandatory marina evacuation. * Marine evacuation clearance times should be studied in more detail. An appropriate model for this type of study would be computer simulation. In a simulation model, each boat could be tracked through the marine network over time. This would allow vessel characteristics such as size, speed, and maneuverability to be studied as they affect each boat's ability to perform a safe evacuation in congested waterways under adverse weather conditions. 16 Exhibit 1 Total Number Number Matched Marina in the List withregistration file 1. 1000 Building Marina 47 41 2. 5660 Collins Ave Condo 1 1 3.

The purpose of the workshop is to discuss work that is about to begin on a survey of what owners of berthed boats in Dade County intend to do with their boats in the event of a hurricane. Before sending out the survey, staff from the UM Boating Research Center and the Dade County Office of Emergency Management and Planning Department want to hear your ideas and suggestions about this important study. As you know, Dade County has not been hit by a major hurri- cane since 1965. However, the number of boats berthed in this area has increased substantially during the past 25 years. The County's current hurricane response plan does not adequately identify options that may be available to individual boat owners in the event of a hurricane nor did past public information sufficiently advise the boating public of how to prepare their craft. Dade County has received a federal Coastal Zone Management Grant to find out what owners of berthed boats intend-to do with their boats in a hurricane, and the degree of advance preparation that those boat owners can be expected to have done prior to a hurricane. Potential boating hurricane * ~~evacuation patterns will be analyzed and alternative marine evacuation programs and policies will be evaluated. This will be a cooperative effort by Metro-Dade County and the University of Miami Boating Research Center. The data collection will be done through a mail survey of berthed boat owners in major marinas in Dade County. The mail survey will be followed up by telephone to obtain a statis- tically reliable sample size. The data will be analyzed to provide information to be 'used by the Office of Emergency Management in updating the County's Hurricane Plan. The 21 Mr. Dick Briggs Page 2. final report will also be sent to state agencies and to local governments throughout the State of Florida to assist them in developing marine hurricane response plans. You can assist us in this important effort by attending the workshop on March 2nd. Members of the Boating Research Center will discuss the survey approach and the questions that they think should be asked, but we want to be sure that we have covered the right topics before going public with the survey. Please call me at 375-2835 any weekday from 8:30 to 5:30 if you will be able to attend.

Boat Type: Ask for other dimensions of the vessel (height, draft, beam). 2. Include the following questions Do you own a trailer? Is it well maintained? Do you know how to secure your trailered vessel? 3. For hurricane preparedness: Do you plan to move your boat during hurricane warnings? Eliminate any references to specific areas as to where the boat owner will move his boat. Have you made arrangements for your hurricane mooring site? Have you completed a dry run? Will someone pick you up from you hurricane mooring site? If you are out of town, have you made arrangements for someone to secure your boat? If you do not plan to move your boat, do you know how to secure your vessel in the water? Do you plan to stay in your vessel during a hurricane? If yes, where will you anchor? Questions 9 and 13 - eliminate specific references to areas where boat owners will bring their boats 4. For hurricane experience: Have you moved your vessel during a hurricane warning in the past? Where did you move your vessel? 5. Question number 15 should be eliminated. 24 Exhibit 5 April 17, 1990 Dear boat owner: The Boating Research Center of the University of Miami, under contract to Metro-Dade County, is conducting a survey of berthed boat owners in marinas in Dade County. The survey results will assist the Metro Planning Department and Office of Emergency Management in revising hurricane plans. Dade County has not experienced a major hurricane since 1950. Since that time, the pleasure boating population has soared while safe harbor space has diminished. In order to develop realistic hurricane plans we need your input. Please take a few minutes to complete the enclosed survey. We would be happy to share with you the survey results once completed. Your cooperation is important and very much appreciated. If you have any questions please call the Boating Research Center at 361-4085.
