I ~~~~~~INTRODUCTION
Southwest Florida is an area with a rapidly growing population, yet only
I ~a small percentage of its residents have ever experienced a hurricane.
Hurricanes can have devastating effects upon a community, not only in
terms of loss of life but in other ways, such as property damage, unem-
ployment and similar economic impacts. Although technological develop-
ments have increased the accuracy of hurricane forecasting, and
consequently, loss of life has been reduced, property damage has continued
to increase drastically. Potential damage is especially great due to
I ~rapid population growth and the location of buildings in areas that are
vulnerable to hurricane damage. This is particularly true in Southwest
Florida, where 95% of the residents live in the coastal areas.1

The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of the economic
consequences of potential hurricanes in Southwest Florida, including
potential property loss, employment loss, and loss to other important
sectors of the economy, such as- agriculture. By quantifying these
potential impacts and dollar losses, policies and strategies can be
formulated to mitigate impacts. Additionally, plans or strategies
addressing post-hurricane redevelopment and future development can be
formulated to serve as a decision-making tool for local governments.

I ~SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The goal of this study is to provide quantitative estimates of potential
hurricane loss in Southwest Florida. Quantifying these impacts can provide
the basis for developing methods and techniques to mitigate adverse effects.
Specific tasks that were accomplished in the estimation of potential hurricane
* ~losses include the following:

A graphic delineation of geographic areas into vulnerability
zones, based upon the predicted amount of storm surge over
I ~ ~~land and/or the predicted wind velocities that would occur
as the result of hypothetical hurricanes simulated by the Sea,
Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) Model. (This
- model is described in detail in the Southwest Florida Regional
Planning Council Regional *Hurricane Evacuation Plan).
A land use inventory and analysis by vulnerability zone and
major land use category. -
A structural inventory by vulnerability zone and major land
use category.
An analysis of the impact of potential hurricanes upon agricul-
tural land uses by vulnerability zone.

*1 ~STUDY AREA

The Southwest Florida Region includes the six counties of Charlotte, Collier,
I ~Glades, Hendry, Lee and Sarasota, and their thirteen municipalities (See Map 1).
The Region encompasses 6,021 square miles, including approximately 1,676 miles
of coastal shoreline. Four of the six counties (Charlotte, Collier, Lee and
Sarasota) border on the Gulf of Mexico while the two inland counties of Glades
and Hendry are located adjacent to Lake Okeechobee.

Population in the Region has grown rapidly over the past decade, especially
in the coastal counties, where population has nearly doubled since 1970.
I ~Thit rapid population growth and consequent development in low-lying coastal
areas could result in potentially great destruction from hurricanes.

I ~PRIOR PLANS AND FUTURE PLANS

The Hurricane Loss Study is based' upon the Regional Hurricane Evacuation
I ~Plan, published by the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council in November,
198-1. This was a quantitative regional hurricane evacuation plan designed to
be used by local governments in the six-county area during emergencies. This
plan defined the geographic vulnerability zones which are used in the
Hurricane Loss Study.,

The Hurricane Loss report is the first portion of the Hurricane Loss and
Contingency Planning Study. It addresses the economic impacts of various
types of hurricanes, by vulnerability zone.

* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2

The second portion of this study will address ways of implementing or
I ~mitigating the potential damages that have previously been quantified,
through various methods and recommended policies.

REPORT ORGANIZATION
I ~This report is divided into several sections. First, the methodology used in
the study and subsequent analyses-is explained. Second,a brief history of
hurricanes in Southwest Florida and their probability of occurrence is given,
U ~followed by a brief examination of the impacts of Hurricane Donna in the area.
Next, an analysis of land use and a-structural analysis for the Region and its
individual counties is provided. Utilizing this inventory, building damage
I ~due to hurricanes has been estimated. An inventory and analysis of hazardous
materials is also included, as these could be potentially dangerous in a
hurricane. Economic effects upon employment, agriculture and public facili-
ties and services are also considered. Finally, total losses are projected,
and conclusions and recommendations are provided.
I ~PLAN COORDINATION AND REVIEW
Coordination was an'integral part of the Hurricane Loss Study. Numerous
agencies were involved in this effort, in various stages of plan prepara-
tion and review. Background information was obtained from counyty property
Center. Inval uable assistance and suggestions were submitted by county
civi defnseoffices, as well as by local government planning departments,
who reviewed and commented upon the plan.
Coordination was also maintained with numerous entities outside the Region,
including other Regional Planning Councils in various stages of completion
of their individual hurricane evacuation plans, as well as State offices.

I~ ~A list of agencies involved in the Plan is provided in Appendix A

METHODOLOGY

I ~The purpose of the Hurricane Loss Study is to quantify potential losses from
hurricanes in Southwest Florida. The Southwest Florida area consists of six
counties (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee and Sarasota) and thirteen
municipalities. Estimates of potential damage have been provided for the
Region as well as its individual counties.

A plan quantifying the poten tial economic impacts'of hurricanes requires
extensive data collection, generation and analysis to ensure accuracy. Various
assumptions must be made concerning storm characteristics, values and other
parameters used. The general assumptions upon which the plan is based are
described below.
I ~HURRICANE CHARACTERISTICS AND IMPACTS

A hurricane is one type of nat-ural hazard, defined as a large cyclonic storm
with winds of 74 miles per hour or greater (winds can reach up to 190 miles
I ~per hour). Winds form a large spiral configuration around a relatively calm
eye. The "average" hurricane has a life span of nine days, and a diameter
of 400 miles.1

I ~Hurricane damage is caused by three major types of hazards:

Storm surge
Fl ooding
Winds

3 ~Storm surge is the most damaging of all hurricane impacts. It is described
as the high and forceful wind-driven waters sweeping across the coastline
near the area where the storm center or eye makes landfall. Storm surge
results in an increase in water level above normal tidal action, caused by
storm conditions, and is responsible for the greatest loss of lives in
hurricanes.

U ~The flooding caused by hurricane rains (6-12 inches can be expected to
accompany a hurricane) is the second greatest damaging force, while hurricane
winds cause the least amount of damage, compared to storm surge and flooding.

Hurricanes have been defined and classified according to their relative
strength (wind speed, storm surge and central pressure) by the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Scale. There are five major groupings, or categories, of storms,
ranging from Category I (minimal damage) to Category 5 (catastrophic damage).
This scale is explained in detail in Appendix R , and provides the basis
I ~for the storm categories used in this plan.

'Alan L. Sorkin, Economic Aspects of Natural Hazards, (.Lexington, Mass.:
I ~ ~D.C. Heath and Company 1982), p. 7.

E ~VULNERABILITY ZONE CONCEPT

Vulnerability zones have been used in the Plan to assess potential hurricane
damage. These zones are based upon the categories used in the Southwest
I ~Florida Regional Hurricane Evacuation Plan. The principle tool used to
delineate zones is the numerical storm surge prediction model known as
SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes). This computerized
model, developed by the National Hurricane Center, can predict the
overland tidal surge heights and winds that result from hypothetical
hurricanes with selected characteristics of pressure, size, forward speed,
* ~track and winds.

Categories, or groups-of storms, have been used, since it would be virtually
impossible to accurately estimate the potential damage for every possible
I ~hurricane. To determine potential-*storm flooding, 187 hypothetical hurricanes
were simulated by the SLOSH model for use in the Regional Hurricane Evacuation
Plan. Hurricanes were modeled based upon their probability of striking the
Southwest Florida Coast, and also based upon parameters selected by the National
Hurricane Center. Five groups or categories were used (as defined by the Saffir-
Simpson Scale), and three directions of storms were used for each category:
storms moving in from the southwest (landfalling); storms moving generally
north to southwest (paralleling); and, those moving northwesterly or west-
northwesterly (crossing or exiting).

3 ~Based upon these groups of storms, maps were prepared, showing expected maximum
heights of flooding in feet above mean sea level. Maps 2-5 show the maximuml
I ~flooding levels for different types of hurricanes (categories 1-5) for each
coastal county.2

To determine maximum flooding levels for Charlotte County, for example, an
I ~examination of the Charlotte County map illustrates that, in a Category I
storm (winds of 74-95 mph) up to 7 feet of flooding above mean sea level could
be expected (although'actual flooding in a particular point would depend upon
land elevation). In a category 2 storm, 11 feet of flooding could occur,
U ~while in a category 3 (100 year).storm, 17 feet of flooding could occur. The
area that is flooded by a category 1 storm is also known as vulnerability
zone 1, for purposes of assessing potential property damage.

In summary, then, the 5 categories defined by the SLOSH model form the vulnera-
bility zones which will be used in determining potential hurricane damage. These
zones are defined by the amount of saltwater flooding that would be experienced
in various hurricanes, as indicated by the maps. The Regional Hurricane Evacua-
tion Plan provides a detailed explanation of the methodology used in determining
I ~~floodin~g levels.
1Maximum flooding for each selected point was used, to illustrate the
worst probable case. It is improbable that any one storm would cause the amount
of flooding depicted on the maps.
2 The counties of Glades and Hendry, due to their inland location, would not be
subject to saltwater flooding (as projected by the SLOSH model), so they have
not been mapped. They are subject to wind damage, which will be discussed

later.

HISTORY- AND PROBABILITY OF HURRICANES
I ~~~~~IN SOUTHWEST'FLORIDA
Southwest Florida has been identified by the National Weather Service as one
of the most hurricane-vulnerable areas of the United States. As such, the
potential for large scale loss of life and property during a hurricane is
I ~great. This chapter will examine the history and probability of hurricane
occurrence in Southwest Florida. The analysis of hurricane probability will
be based upon historical occurrence in the Southwest Florida Region, employ-
ing available meteorological data from three sources: 1) Environmental
I ~Data and Information S-ervice, National Climatic Center, Asheville, North
Carolina; 2) National Hurricane Center, Coral Gables, Florida, and, 3)
National Weather Service, Fort Myers and Tampa Area Offices.
I ~In the time period from 1-886 to 1981, Southwest Florida has had 38 tropical
cyclones of hurricane intensity-(sustained winds reaching 74 mph 'or more).
Fourteen of these storms (as depicted in Table I and Map 6) passed with
I ~in 50 miles of Ft. Myers, while 24 additional storms (Table 2, Map 7)
passed within 100 miles. Storms passing within 50 miles of Ft. Myers occurred
on the average of once every 6.9 years, while those within 100 miles, but
beyond 50 miles, averaged once every 4 years. The total number of storms
I ~passing within 100 miles averages one every 2.5 years. Thus, using the 100
mile distance as the minimum distance for issuing a hurricane warning, parts
or all of Southwest Florida can expect such a warning during the hurricane
season once every two and one-half years.
Technically, the official Atlantic hurricane season is defined as occurring
from June I through November 30. The period of greatest hurricane frequency
in Southwest Florida is the three month period from August to October, when
90 percent of all hurricanes passing within 100 nautical miles of Ft. M~yers
(the hypothetical center point of reference) have historically occurred.
This is depicted in Tables 1 and 2.
Hurricanes of maximum concern, from the extent of damage and threat, are those
I ~of the greatest strength, or Categories 3, 4, and 5 as defined by the Saffir-
Simpson Hurricane Scale (which is explained in detail in Appendix B ), or
those having velocities greater than III miles per hour. Such storms have
passed within 100 miles of Ft. Myers on the average of I every 5.5 years in
I ~the 81 years since 1900 (see Table 3 which provides a chronological list of
hurricanes affecting Florida). The last direct hit in Southwest Florida was
Hurricane Donna, a Category 3 storm (winds up to 117 knots at closest point
of approach, but higher in peak gusts). Dbnna passed directly over Ft. Myers
Beach and Ft. Myers on September 10, 1960.
Using Hurricane Donna as an example of potential hurricane-induced flooding,
it is possible to gauge the degree of hazard such storms produce. Table4
lists the highest storm surges above mean sea level that were reported for
different areas in the Region during Hurricane Donna. Note that one area,
I ~the Ten Thousand Islands, received over 17 feet of surge (MSL). In other
areas, storm forces were not as great. The next chapter will examine Hurri-
* ~cane Donna and its impacts in greater detail.

HURRICANE DONNA: A CASE STUDY
This chapter will examine the impacts of one specific hurricane, Hurricane
Donna. This hurricane will be used for two reasons; first, since it passed
directly over Ft. Myers and Ft. Myers Beach, and second, because fairly
accurate records of impacts are available for that particular storm. An
examination of this hurricane's damages will provide a basis for comparison
of estimates of potential hurricane damage made in subsequent chapters. In
addition, estimates of damage from Hurricane Donna, if it were to occur today,
are provided, as well as damage estimates from other hurricanes.

HURRICANE DONNA
In 1960, Hurricane Donna ravaged the lower gulf coast of Florida and the Florida
Keys; over 600 homes and buildings were destroyed and about 10,000 more suffered
some degree of damage.1 Based upon records kept since 1886 by the National
Weather Service, Donna was reported to have had some of the highest winds and
destructive forces of any hurricane up to that time. Gusts of wind between
121 and 155 mph were reported over Fort Myers; estimated gusts over Naples
were between 140-150 mph. Between Everglades City and Naples, tidal debris
covered U.S. 41 from 4 to 6 miles inland, as a result of a 9 foot storm surge
inundating the area.2 Fort Myers Beach was swept by tides and wave action
on September 10, 1960, lowering dune elevations that were previously 5-7 feet
above MSL. Foundations were exposed and undermined, causing homes to topple.
First-phase winds lowered water levels in the Caloosahatchee River; a similar
lowering of water levels occurred at Punta Gorda and at Charlotte Harbor.3
This created a funneling effect which caused tidal flooding at Bokeelia (on
Pine Island) and in the Matlacha Pass area. In the South Banks area of
Captiva Island, tides of 4 to 5 feet above normal overtopped the island,
cutting a new entrance to Blind Pass about one-quarter mile south of the
Blind Pass Bridge.*

Physical Damaqe
A summary of the estimated physical damage to the lower Gulf Coast caused by
Hurricane Donna appears below. It is apparent from a review of this information
that the number of buildings damaged was greatest in Charlotte County, and least
severe in Collier, although monetary damage was most severe in Lee County.

Monetary damages resulting from Donna are summarized in the subsequent table,
based on estimates made by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The total monetary damage for the state of Florida was estimated at $86,877,000;
thus, Southwest Florida's dollar loss comprised 30.4 percent of the state's
total.

According to Red Cross and U.S. Army Corps of Engineer reports, first phase
winds in excess of 100 mph unroofed buildings and overturned mobile homes on
the lower Gulf Coast well in advance of any tidal flood or wave damage.1 Most
of the damages were confined to Everglades City, Naples, Vanderbilt Beach,
Bonita Beach and Fort Myers Beach, for an estimated $13 million loss. Eighty
percent of that total can be attributed to losses at Fort Myers Beach and
Naples. Additional damages not calculated from wave action include seawall
and bulkhead destruction, loss of beach fill, and erosion of roads.
Agricultural Damage

Agricultural damages resulted from the long-duration flooding on the lands,
exclusive of wind damages to citrus groves. These damages were primarily
to truck crops, pasture lands and cattle. Citrus grove damages were the
result of fruit blown off trees, and these losses were also quite extensive.
It was estimated that the damage for the State approached $59.9 million
based on 1958 sales of $337 million and estimated 1960-61 production of 145.5
million boges.2 (These citrus damages are not included in the -damage
summary table.) Thus, the overall impact of the storm was great, with -losses
amounting to nearly $150 million in the state.

DAMAGE FROM OTHER HURRICANES

Since Hurricane Donna, other storms have affected the country, causing great
devastation and damages amounting to billions of dollars. A recent survey
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration revealed that the
nation's costliest storms to date struck the United States within a two-
week period in 1979: "Frederic," which swept through 10 states between
September 12-14, causing a record $752,510,000 in insured losses; and "David,"
which hit 12 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands in late August and early September, leaving insured damages of more
than $122 million.1
The 10 most costly hurricanes, in terms of estimated insured losses, are
listed in the table below. Of the ten storms 2given, only Betsy and David
passed within 100 miles of Southwest Florida.

LAND USE ANALYSISJ

In this chapter, land use acreage has been assimilated and analyzed for each
geographic vulnerability zone, as previously described. Land uses have been
categorized as follows: residential; commercial; industrial; public trans-
portation, communication and utilities; and other public uses (institutional).

METHODOLOGY

The land use survey undertaken for this report is based upon work initially
begun by the Council in its 1975 Coastal Zone Management program, and
subsequently updated on an annual basis. The descriptive terms applied to
land uses are those used by the Council staff in its coastal zone publications;
they are also compatible with the land use classification system used by the'
Florida Division of State Planning in its Florida Land Use and Cover Classifi-
cation System, published in April, 1976. The six urban land use categories
in this report, and the specific uses they reflect, are described below:

1) Residential: Residential land uses are divided into two categories;
single-family and multiple family. The single-family classification
refers to dwelling units that are not physically connected by a wall,
floor or ceiling to other units. The multiple-family classification,
conversely, refers to those dwelling units which touch other dwelling
units. Single-family units include the typical suburban home and the
mobile home, while the multiple-family unit includes duplexes, triplexes,
garden apartments, and low/mid/and high rises.

2) Commercial: Commercial land uses include retail, wholesale, professional,
office, tourist, businesses and services. Typical commercial areas
include shopping centers, office complexes, and highway "strio" commercial
devel opment.

3) Industrial: Industrial land uses include those uses where manufacturing
takes place. Typical examples in the Region include lumber yards and
concrete and cement plants.

4) >Transportation, Communication, and Utilities: Transportation land uses,
defined as the uses related to the movement of people and goods, include
a variety of transportation facilities (truck terminals, ports, airports,
and rail terminals); but do not include the actual road or rail lines,
which are generally too small to be designated as a land use at the map
scale used. Communication land uses refer to recognizably large com-
munication centers, such as broadcasting stations or tele-communications
facilities. Utility land uses include power plants, reservotrs, water
and sewage treatment plants, and sanitary landfills. As with transpor-
tation, the actual utility easements are too small to be mapped at the
scale used.

5) Institutional: Institutional land uses include schools, cemetaries,
governmental centers, hospitals, and religious facilities.

6) Mixed: This use refers to combinations of the land uses above in which
no one use constitutes 70% of the land coverage of a 20-acre parcel.

The land uses above were mapped at a scale of 1" to 2,000', based upon
United States Geological Survey maps of the same scale. Land uses
were determined through the analysis of aerial photographs provided
by Mark Herd, Incorporated (1979) and the Florida Department of Transpor-
tation (DOT), with 1980 updates provided by Real Estate Data, Inc. (REDI).
The REDI photos were used for the four coastal counties, while the Herd
aerials were used for the two inland counties (Glades and Hendry). Areas
whose use could not be determined from the aerials were either field
surveyed, or validation was provided by local governments' county and city
planning departments. The minimum size land use parcel mapped was five
acres.,

The estimates used in this report for land uses for the Region and individual
counties were determined by measuring the parcels portrayed on land use
maps through the use of a Compensating Polar Planimeter.

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA REGION

The Southwest Florida Region, as a whole, encompasses 3,853,440 acres, or
6,021 square miles (see Table 8). In land area alone, Collier County is
by far the largest county in the Region, followed by Hendry County. In
terms of shoreline, Collier County leads the Region and is closely followed
by Lee County.

The following sections include an evaluation ff the major land uses for each
county, within vulnerability zones as defined by the SLOSH grid for storm
categories 1-5. Lands unaffected by flooding are excluded from analysis within
this section; their vulnerability to winds, however, is discussed in Chapter 8.
A final summary of the Region's total vulnerable land, in acres, is also provided.

From this table, it can be seen that over half of Collier County's residential
land use in hurricane vulnerable areas is found in the Category 3 zone. However,
i one-fourth of the residential property is in the Category 1 SLOSH flood zone, which
is extremely susceptible to flooding. Very little residential lands are
found in Category 4 or 5 areas, which are less susceptible to hurricane impacts.

*I Most of the county's commercial areas are in either Category 2 or Category 4
vulnerability zones. Industrial land uses are chiefly located in Category 3
and 4 areas. Thus, commercial and industrial lands are relatively protected
I from major flooding in a minimal-strength storm, and are safe from a direct
storm surge hit. These areas, however, will still incur flooding in a major
storm, and are subject to wind damage, as well.

Approximately half of the transportation, communication and utility uses are
located in the Category 2 zone, but a significant amount is also found in the
Category 5 zone. Institutional uses are primarily situated in the Category 3
and 4 areas; however, some of these uses are in very vulnerable locations, par-
ticularly schools, churches and similar facilities on Marco Island. The mixed
I| uses are fairly evenly divided throughout the county.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY

The land use acreages for Charlotte County, by hurricane-vulnerability zone,
are listed below in Table 8.

A review of these land use acreages shows that much of Charlotte County's devel-
oped land is extremely hurricane-vulnerable. Over one-half of all residential
development in susceptible areas is located in the most vulnerable area
(zone 1), while 40 percent of commercial land use, and 25.9 percent of the
industrial land use are also found in this area; most commercial and
industrial lands are concentrated in the Category 2 area. These areas are
still highly susceptible to hurricane-induced flooding.

The majority of utility and transportation land uses in zones 1-5 are situated
in Category 3 and 4 areas, which are less vulnerable to direct storm surge
damage. Three-quarters of the institutional uses are in the Category 2 area,
and all the mixed land uses are in the Category 1 zone. Note that there are
virtually no developed lands located within the Category 5 area, that area
that is least susceptible to hurricane flooding.

GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES

Neither Glades County nor Hendry County is located within the SLOSH grid
pattern; consequently these areas will not be subject to storm surge or
saltwater flooding. The land use inventory revealed the following uses
for both Glades and Hendry Counties.

Although Glades and Hendry Counties are not in areas subject to saltwater flooding,
they may experience some flooding from prolonged rainfall, as well as hurricane-
induced winds, possible tornadoes and possible freshwater flooding. As both
counties are basically rural in nature, however, the amount of developed land
is relatively small, when compared to the four coastal counties. One major
problem facing these inland counties is potential wind damage to mobile homes.
This will be more fully discussed in the following chapters.

LEE COUNTY

Lee County is a highly developed county, and is also a rapidly growing area.
The land use acreages, by hurricane zones, are given below, in Table 12.

An analysis of Table 12 indicates that a major portion of the residential land
uses in zones 1-5 are in the Category 1 vulnerability zone (44.1%). Most of
these areas will be directly affected by the hurricane storm surge. The
remaining residential land uses are in zones 2 or 3; only 12% of the residential
uses are in zones 4 or 5. Hence, a Category 1,2, or 3 hurricane could cause
tremendous damage to residential lands in Lee County.

Lee County also contains a great deal of commercial land in vulnerable areas.
Over 95 percent of the lands in vulnerable areas are in zones 1-3. In comparison,
44.4 percent of the industrial land use is in Zone 4, indicating that these lands
are much less susceptible to most storm threats. Some industrial uses, however,
are prevalent throughout the most vulnerable zones (zones 1-3).

The transportation/communication/utility uses and the institutional uses are
divided fairly evenly among the first four vulnerability zones; none of these
uses were found in Zone 5. Mixed uses are primarily located only in zone
1 (72.3% of the total).

SARASOTA COUNTY

Sarasota County is another highly developed, urbanized county on the Gulf Coast.
Table 13, below, lists the amount of developed land within each of the hurricane-
vulnerability zones.

The previous land use statistics illustrate that the majority of land uses in
hurricane prone areas are found in vulnerability zones 3 and 4. Forty-nine
percent of the residential development, 69 percent of commercial land use, 71.3
percent of the industrial lands, 78.3 percent of the transportation/communication/
utility uses, and 63.7 percent of the institutional land uses are located in
these two areas. These figures contrast greatly with those for the three other
coastal counties, due primarily to Sarasota County's higher land elevations
which afford it more protection. Although the majority of land use is located
in less vulnerable areas, a significant amount is still found in the first two
zones (where extensive development has occurred in coastal areas) and on the
barrier islands. One quarter of residential land use is in the Category 1 zone,
and 41.2 percent of the mixed uses are in this zone, as well.

When compared to the other coastal counties, Sarasota County has a significant
amount of development in the more protected Category 5 areas. Twenty-eight
percent of the industrial land uses are in this zone; these areas will be only
slightly affected by flooding. A substantial amount of institutional land uses
(25.9%) are also found in this vulnerability zone. However, only 7.4 percent
of the residential uses, 12.9 percent of the commercial uses and 15.3 percent
of the transportation/communication/utility uses are in the Category 5 zone.

LAND USE SUMMARY

A summary of the Southwest Florida Region's hurricane-vulnerable land uses appears
in Tablle 14. This table shows the amount of land use (in acres) located within

I ~Table 14 illustrates the distribution of urbanized land use in the region as it
relates to hurricane vulnerability. In both Charlotte and Lee Counties, nearly
half of all developed lands that are vulnerable to hurricanes are in the zone
I 1 Iarea. In contrast, the greatest proportion of land in Collier and Sarasota
Counties is located in zone 3. Of the four coastal counties, only Sarasota
has a significant amount of development in the less susceptible zones 4 and 5
I ~(33.9%).
Analysis of the previous table has shown that Southwest Florida has developed
land use patterns that pose a tremendous loss potential in the event of a
I ~hurricane. Approximately 55,951 acres of developed land are directly suscep-
tible to either storm surge or flooding from a Category I (minimal) hurricane.
As storm intensity increases, even more land is subject to hurricane impacts.
U ~For example, approximately 138,324 acres of developed land are subject to the
flooding effects of a Category 3 (Donna-type) hurricane.1

Lee and Charlotte Counties have exhibited the greatest potential for hurricane damage,
I ~due to the large amount of land in susceptible areas, while Sarasota County
h-as the least potential for damage due to the fact that relatively smaller
amounts of land are found in the most vulnerable areas; the predominant
land uses are located in the relatively less hurricane-prone areas (zones
3 and 4). It should be noted that these figures indicated potential for
damage, since the actual areas affected and resultant damage depends upon the
specific storm track and characteristics.
The following chapter contains an inventory of structures located within the
previously defined vulnerability zones. The land use and structural inven-
tories will provide the basis from which projections of potential hurricane-
induced damage will be determined.

U 1 ~This figure was determined by summi~ng the acreage for zones 1,2 and 3 to

calculate the total acreage vulnerable to a category 3type storm.

I ~~~~~STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
I This chapter consists of an inventory of structures in Southwest Florida which
may be affected by hurricanes. To accomplish this, an inventory of all struc-
tures in the Region was taken; the totals were then distributed by hurricane
I vulnerability zone as previously defined and explained in the Southwest Florida
Regional Hurricane Evacuation Plan. The structures were classified by type, as
follows: residential, commercial, industrial, utility, transportation, and
other (institutional) facilities. The inventory was compiled using a variety
I of sources, including 1979-1980 REDI-book aerial photographs, various County
and City Comprehensive Plans, the 1981 Southwest Florida Regional Support
.Services report, the 1981 Florida Statistical Abstract, Florida Department
Iof Transportation maps, Florida Department of Business Regulation data,
public health department data, and the Southwest Florida Regional Planning
Council land use inventory in its Land Use Policy Plan, Update '80.

IRESTIDENTIAL STRUCTURES

A housing unit count was done using REDI-book aerial photographs for single
Ifamily and mobile home units. March, 1979 aerial photographs were used for
Charlotte, Collier Lee and Sarasota Counties.- For Glades and Hendry Counties,
February, 1980 aerial photographs were used. 'Since, aerial photographs are not
completely reliable with regard to multi-family units, supplemental information
I was also used. The Florida Department of Business Regulation, Division of Hotels
and Restaurants supplied a list of apartment, condominium, hotel and motel
units, by county (January, 1980). For the counties of Collier, Lee, Charlotte
3and Sarasota, further refined information was obtained from planning departments
and property appraiser offices. For Lee, Collier and Charlotte Counties,
condominium unit counts were also obtained from a 1978-79 United Telephone System
Iinventory. Additional information on travel trailer parks and travel trailer
camps for all six counties was obtained from the Florida Division of Health
(December, 1979). The results of this inventory appear in Table 15, below.

Using this inventory, the number and type of residential structures located
within the five vulnerability zones were determined. Since the housing unit
count was based upon existing enumeration districts and census tracts, the
data-was simply reaggregated to conform to the vulnerability zone boundaries.
The results appear in Table ].6,.below. (A full discussion of the housing unit
count and reaggregation methodology appears in the SWFRPC Regional Hurricane
Evacuation Plan, pp. 17-19, 60-75, and H-1 - H-27.)

A review of the preceding table reveals that the location of Southwest Florida's
.residential units is primarily in the most hurricane-vulnerable areas. TheI
location of the Region's condominium units illustrates this problem; in the
four coastal counties, over half of all units are in the Category I vulnera-
bility zone Cdue to the high degree of vulnerability of units in Sarasota andI
Charlotte Counties). In some cases, units are in areas susceptible to flooding
in storms so minor that they are not even ranked as Category 1.1
In Charlotte County, 37 percent of the single family homes are in the
Category I flood vulnerability zone. In contrast, 73 percent of its
condominium units are in the Category I area. In Collier County, 25.8
percent of the single family units and 46.7 percent of the condominium unitsI
are in Category I areas. Although these percentages are lower than those of
Charlotte County, homes in Collier County are some of the Region's most expen-
sive; thus, damage in the coastal areas could be disproportionately great,
especially in terms of both present value and replacement cost of residential
units.

Lee County, with 40 percent of'its single family homes in either the Category
I zone or less, is also vulnerable to severe damages. Furthermore, 47.9 per-
cent of Lee County's condominiums units are in areas less than the Category
I zone (barrier island areas) or in the Category 1 zone, while another 46.1I
percent are found in the Category 2 zone. Thus, 94 percent of the total
condominium units in Lee Countyr.:are in areas expected to flood completely
with a storm surge of 12 feet or less. Many of these condominiums are sub-I
ject to the direct hit of a storm surge, and with a Category 3 storm producing
a 17 foot surge, the damage potential is very severe.
In Sarasota County, thirty percent of the vulnerable single-family homes are in areas
susceptible to the effects of a Category I strength hurricane or less (tropical
storm). Seventy-nine percent of the county'-s condominium units are in the same
situation. Housing'units in the coastal areas of Sarasota County are alsoI
expensive, and damage to these structures could be substantial.

Glades and Hendry Counties are not on-the coast; nevertheless, they can be
affected by wind damage, especially to mobile homes. 'Onequarter of Hendry County's
residential units are mobile homes, while nearly half of Glades County's units
are of this variety. These units are all susceptible to damage or destruction,
as witnessed by the performance of mobile homes during other hurricanes in the
Southeastern U.S. within the past few years. Anch~ring system and tie downs
are of little help against winds 70 MPH or better.

Since Category I is the minimal strength hurricane, those ranked below
Category 1 would be defined as tropical storms.

Lubbock, Texas, 1978, p. 140.

35I

An examination of the Region's residential unit inventory demonstrates the
potential dangers of coastal living. The low-lying coastal areas are extremely
I ~susceptible to flooding-, even in storms below hurricane strength. The potential
for property damage is also great, not only because of the concentration of
dwelling units in the coastal areas (especially barrier islands) but also
because of the high average price of these units.

ICOMMERCIAL LAND USE

IAn inventory of commercial structures i-n Southwest Florida was done using a
specially designed computer program processed by the University of Florida,
which contained tax assessment data supplied by the various county property
I ~appraiser's offices. The resultant printout contained land values, building
values, just values, and parcel counts for each type of land use. The parcel
counts were used to determine commercial structure locations.1 Parcels were
enumerated by land use type and were allotted to their respective vulnerability
*zones.

The following section summarizes commercial structure counts by land use type
and vulnerability zone, for each of the Region's six counties, as well as
ISouthwest Florida as a whole. Detailed lists for each county are found in the
appendix (Appendix C )

1Parcels are not always exactly equivalent to structures (since more than one
building .may be located in one parcel). Thus, the numbers of facilities may
be slightly underestimated.

I ~~~~~~~~~~~~36

Charlotte County
In Charlotte County, there are 5,446 commercial parcelsl, according to the property
appraiser tapes. Major uses include stores, office buildings, parking lots, re-
*pair shops, and similar uses. The number ofparcels for each of the thirty mjoV -
commercial land uses has been categorized by storm type, in Appendix C.

Analysis of the preceding table indicates that of the total 5,446 commercial
parcels in Charlotte County, 43% are located in the category I area, while 34%
are found in the category 2 area. Thus, over 77% of the total commercial struc-
tures are located in the most vulnerable areas of the county. Only 11 parcels
are located outside the areas that would be affected by hurricanes.

--All ty-pes-of commercial land use would be affected by a hurricane, since all
varieties are found in vulnerable areas. Stores would be especially affected,
since they are located primarily in the category 1 and 2 areas. Few businesses
are located outside the category 5 area (the safest area, thus subject to the
least damage). Since the major businesses in Charlotte County are stores,
office buildings, repair shops, and other service-oriented establishments,
hurricane loss could be severe, in :terms of both property damage and employment
loss.

Collier County
Collier County's commercial parcels total 1,255. The majority of these are
stores (21%), office buildings, restaurants, service stations, auto sales, and
hotels and motels. (See Appendix C). The majority of establishments are located
in areas vulnerable to hurricane forces. For example, approximately 85% of
I
hotels and motels are located in category 1 and 2 areas, those most prone to
direct hurricane impacts. In fact, the majority of most businesses are found
in these areas. For example, 63% of total establishments are located in categories
1 and 2, while only 10% are found in the category 3 and 5 areas. Approximately
4%, or-54 establishments, are located outside all five storm areas. Considering
only the area outside these five categories to be safe, only a very small
portion of commercial establishments would be safe from a hurricane's effects.

Glades County

Glades County is not affected by saltwater flooding, since it is located outside
the SLOSH Grid. Because there are no specific vulnerability zones, commercial
structures have been aggregated for the county as a whole. In the county, there
are 154 improved commercial parcels2 (parcels with buildings). The majority
of commercial structures are located in the Moore Haven area (the county seat),
especially along U.S. 27, the major highway. A smaller amount is found in the
extreme northeastern part of the county in Buckhead Ridge.3

lAlthough the number of commercial parcels in this county is extremely great, over
80% of the parcels are vacant (however, the parcels With building values have
still been included in'the table).
2Florida Department of Revenue, 1981 total.
3The location of these structures had been verified by field checks, and con-
sultation with the Comprehensive Land Use Plans for Glades County and the City
of Moore Haven.

I Hendry County

Hendry County is also located outside the'SLOSH Grid and thus is not divided
Iinto storm vulnerability categories. In the county, there are 339 improved
commercial parcels.1 The commercial structures in the county are concentrated
in the Cities of LaBelle(which functions as the county seat) and Clewiston,
Hand are located primarily along the major highways (SR 80, SR 29 and U.S. 27).2
Commercial parcels account for only a small proportion of total parcels in
each of the inland counties (less than 2%).

I Lee County

In Lee County, there are 4,528 commercial parcels. Commercial uses comprise
a variety of different types, including stores, shopping centers, office
buildings, banks, gas stations, theaters, tourist attractions and other
I varied uses. There are thirty types of commercial uses, based upon the land
use code utilized by each property appraiser and the Florida Department of
Revenue. The number of parcels for each type of land use and storm category
is found in Appendix C.

NIt can be seen from the previous table that of the 4,528 commercial parcels
in Lee County, almost half this total (49%) is located in the category I area,
I which is most-vulnerable to a hurricane. The second-largest total is located
in the category -2 area (29%). Thus, over three-fourths (78%) of total commer-
cials structures are located in the most hurricane-vulnerable areas in the
Icounty. Only 177 structures (less than 4%) are located outside the SLOSH
Grid, and thus would not be vulnerable to saltwater flooding from hurricanes.

All types of commercial land uses would be affected by a hurricane, since
all uses are found in the vulnerable areas. The major commercial land use
categories in the county include stores, followed by office buildings, auto
sales, service stations, repair shops, hotels and motels, and restaurants.
These types of commercial activities reinforce the fact that the area's economic
Ibase~is highly dependent upon trade and services as a major economic activity,
and could be subject to great devastation from hurricane damage (not only in
terms of direct property damage, but also indirect effects from employment and
income loss, etc.)
Sarasota County

ICommercial parcels in Sarasota County total 5,233. The major uses include
stores and other shopping facilities, office and professional buildings,
Eautomobile sales, repair shops, restaurants, and similar types of businesses.

Comprehensive Plans for ~the-City of Clewiston,.,Hendry County and the City of-
LaBelle, as. well -as the SWFRPC report, Commercial and Industrial Strategies.

* ~~~~~~~~~~~~38

Commercial uses are primarily found in Categories I and 2 , which are the most
vulnerable categories. Forty-three percent of the total businesses are found
here. A large number of businesses, however, is located in the less vulnerable
category 5 area. Approximately 32% of the county's businesses are located either
in the category 5 area, or outside category 5. These establishments, whichI
include a variety of uses, are relatively less susceptible to hurricane destruc-
tion.
Regional SummaryI

There are 5,691 commercial parcels in the six-county Southwest Florida area.
Commercial uses vary, bUt the major types in the Region include stores, auto
sales, repair shops, service stations, and hotels and motels. The number of
parcels has been categorized, according to the storm vulnerability area
within which they are located, in Table 17.I
Examination of the previous table demonstrated that, as expected, the majority
of commercial structures are located in Lee and Sarasota Counties, while
smaller amounts are found in Collier and Charlotte Counties, and the least
number of establishments are located in the small inland counties of Hendry
6nd Glades.

Overall, most structures are located in the category I area, which is the area
most susceptible to hurricane damage. Over 37% of total structures are
located in this zone. Thesecond largest amount is found in zone 2, whichI
is also vulnerable to hurricane damage. These two categories alone account for
approximately 65% of total structures. Fewer structures are located in
zones 3, 4 and S. For example, only 7% of total structures in the Region
are located in area 5. -The smallest number is found outside the category 5 area,
which would not be subject to hurricane damage. Structures located outside
category 5 only account for 3% of the total.

INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURES

An inventory of Southwest Florida's industries was compiled using the DirectoryI
of Florida Industries, 1981, published by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, in
Tallahassee. Information in the Directory was tabulated from qusinaires
sent~to Florida manufacturers and mining concerns. The 1-!urlda Department of
Commerce, county economic development councils, local chambers of commerce
and private enterpr'ise industrial development specialists also assisted in
updating the listing of industrial parks and developments, and other data.
Industrial facilities (name and type of facility) are listed in Appendix D,
by county, according to their location in hurricane-vulnerable areas. A
table summarizing the number of'facilities by county and zone is providedI
below. Following this table, an analysis of the number, type and'locations of
industries is also provided for each individual county, based upon the list of
industries provided in the Appendix.

Charlotte County

The overwhelming majority (69.2%) of Charlotte County's industrial facilities
are located within the Category 1 area. Most of these industries are related
to the construction or printing business.

The remaining industries are located in the Category 2 area (11.5%), Category
3 area (15.4%) and Category 4 zone (3.8%). These industries chiefly consist of
construction-related businesses, as well. No industries were located in the
Category 5 vulnerability zone in Charlotte County.

Collier County

Collier County's industries, are primarily located in zones 1, 2 and 3. Over
94% of the total industries are located in these most vulnerable areas. No
industries were found in the Category 5 vulnerability zone or outside the
vulnerable areas. Most of Collier County's industrial facilities relate to
either the construction industry, advertising, printing and publishing, or
the processing of sand and gravel (indirectly construction-related).

Glades and Hendry Counties
Neither Glades nor Hendry County is in areas prone to storm surge or saltwater
flooding, as defined by the SLOSH model. Thus, industrial facilities would not
be damaged by these types of hurricane impacts, although damage from freshwaterI
flooding and/or heavy winds is a possibility. The major industries in these two
counties are affiliated with either citrus production and processing, or sugar
refinement. The remaining industries are oriented to either construction orI

.Lee County3
Most of Lee County's industrial facilities are located in the Category 2 vulnera-
bility zone (46.4%). These facilities are chiefly situated within the Fort Myers
city limits. The Category 3 area houses 29.0% of the county's industries, followed*
by Category I areas, where 21.2% of the county's industry is found. Very few
industrial facilities were located in either Category 4 or Category 5 areas.
In addition to the typical construction-oriented industries and printing, adver-
tising and publishing, Lee County has other manufacturing facilities which are
critical to the local economy. In particular, quartz crystal manufacturers
employ significant numbers of people, as do the various machine shops andI
marine-oriented industries in the county. Two large tourist-oriented industries,
The Shell Factory and Africana Gifts and Shells, Inc. are also important to the
local economy, contributing in terms of employment as well as retail sales.I
Hurricane-induced impacts on these and other' types of industries, such as
loss of employment, will be discussed in a subs~equent chapter.1
Sarasota County
The majority of Sarasota County's industries are located outside the vulnerable
areas (39.4%). Only 3.6 percent of the industrial facilities are in the mostI
vulnerable Category I zone. Other categories with a significant amount of
industry are zones 3 and 4, with 23 percent and 20.6 percen~t of the total,
respectively. Categories 2 and 5 have relatively few industries, 9.7 percentI
and 3.6 percent, respectively. Since Sarasota County's industries are located
in areas with relatively high elevations, most of these structures will not
be a~ffected by storm surge or saltwater flooding. This situation contrastsI
with the situation found in the other coastal counties of the Region.
The industries found in Sarasota County are more diversified than those in
the rest of the Region. There are fewer construction and tourist-related
industries, and more manufacturing firms. In particular, Sarasota County
has approximately twelve firms related-to the electronics'industry, as well
as several yacht builders and a mobile home manufacturing company.
Regional' Summary
Based upon the previous information, it is obvious that the majority of the
industrial facilities in Southwest Florida are in the two largest counties,
Lee 'and Sarasota Counties. Tc~gether, these two counties account for 372
firms, or over 83% of the Region's total. The remaining four counties,
by comparison, have relatively few industrial facilities.

413

Over 46% of the Region's total industries are located in Lee County alone.
Nearly all are found in the most vulnerable zones (categories 1, 2 and 3).
In contrast, industries in Sarasota County are primarily located in less
susceptible zones (zones 3 and 4) or are outside areas subject to saltwater
flooding. Industries in Charlotte County are primarily located in zone 1,
the most vulnerable area, while in Collier County, nearly all are found
in zones 1-3. Thus, potential damage to facilities in these counties is great.
Glades and Hendry Counties, due to their inland location, are not subject to
saltwater flooding or storm surge, although freshwater flooding and wind
damage is possible.

In summary, the location of industry in Southwest Florids is primarily in
areas that are most vulnerable to hurricanes. Over 71% of the Region's total
industrial firms are found in zones 1, 2 and 3, while less than 18% are
located outside vulnerable areas.

UTILITIES

The utility facilities inventoried for this study include the following:

1) Sewage treatment collection systems and plants with a capacity of
at least 10,000 gallons per day;

2) Water treatment and supply systems with a capacity of at least
10,000 gallons per day;

3) Solid waste disposal sites and transfer stations currently in
use, as well as known future sites. The size and lifespan of all
sites has also been indicated where available; and,

4) Electrical power generating facilities, switching stations, and
major substations.

These facilities have been inventoried and located on U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) scale maps (1" = 2,000'). These maps and an explanatory legend identifying
the various sites appear in Appendix F. In addition, the inventory of sites is
found in Appendix E. Map index numbers are also included in the inventory to
enable the cross-referencing of facilities with their respective map locations.
The inventoriesland maps are categorized by county. The inventory is based
upon the Support Services Inventory Update '80, completed by the Southwest
Florida Regional Planning Council in August 1980, and updated in 1982. A
summary of this information by countyandvulnerability zone is presented in
the subsequent table.

* Includes Glades and Hendry Counties.

The preceding table illustrates that a significant amount of facilities are
susceptible to hurricane damage. For example, of the 674 total utility
facilities (including wastewater treatment facilities, water treatment plants,
solid waste sites, and electrical facilities), nearly 40% are in the most
vulnerable zone (zone 1). Approximately 15% are outside vulnerable areas
(including those located in Glades and Hendry Counties).

The following sections contain a brief analysis of facilities in each
county.

Charlotte County

Facilities in Charlotte County have been categorized by type and by hurricane
vulnerability zone , as noted in the following table.

I According to this table, it is evident that most of the utilities in Charlotte
County are located in the most hurricane vulnerable locations. Of the 81 sewage
treatment plants, 56 are located in the Category 1 SLOSH grid (69.1%). Only 4
Iplants are in the Category 4 and 5 zones, and none of the plants are located in
areas outside the Category 5 hurricane zone, according to the SLOSH model.
Other facilities are also found primarily in the zones most vulnerable to hurri-
Icanes. Overall, 92% of utility facilities in Charlotte County are found in
zones 1 and 2. One contributing factor in the location of these facilities is
growth; rapid population growth has occurred principally in Punta Gorda,
Englewood/Cape Haze, and Port Charlotte. Hence, the majority of Charlotte
ICounty's utilities are found in these generalized regions. A hurricane striking
this coast could greatl,. affect these low-lying areas, creating utility shortages
and malfunctions as well as temporary shutdowns of water and wastewater treat-
3ment plants, during an emergency.

Collier County

ICollier County's facilities are summarized, by type and location in hurricane-
vulnerable areas, inthe following table. A detailed listing is found in-

I ~Nearly all the Collier County utilities are in SLOSH vulnerability zones 1-3.
Of the sewage treatment plants, 33 are in Category 1, 8 in Category 2 and
29 are located in Category 3. Only 10 plants are in either Categories 4 or 5,
or are out of the SLOSH Model Grid (not affected by saltwater flooding) . The
majority of the water-treatment plants are in the Category I zone, as well as
I ~most of the electrical substations. The location of many of these facilities
in vulnerable areas is potentially dangerous-in the event of a hurricane.
In particular, the City of Naples, Everglades City and Marco Island could
I ~be susceotible to severe utility shortages should these areas incur heavy
wind/water damage in a hurricane. Facilities in Immokalee, however, should
Ebe relatively safe from severe damage to support systems.

I ~~~~~~~~~~~44

Glades and Hendry Counties

Since Glades County is inland, it is outside the SLOSH model grid and Would not
be affected by saltwater flooding. However, the facilities are subject to wind
damage and possible freshwater flooding from prolonged rainfall.

As is true with Glades County, Hendry County is not included in the SLOSH
model grid system. Hendry County has relatively few support services in
comparison to the coastal counties, but disruption of services in a hurricane
could still be a problem due to severe winds and freshwater flooding. The
following table summarizes utility facilities in the inland counties.

Lee County

Of the Region's six counties, Lee County has the greatest number of utility
facilities, with 261, or 38% of the total for Southwest Florida. The
distribution of these facilities by hurricane zone is given below.

Lee County has the greatest dispersion of development of the six-Southwest
Florida Counties and, as such, has a similar dispersion of utility systems.
As might be expected, the vast majority of Lee County's utility systems are
located in the most hurricane-vulnerable areas. One hundred nine sewage treat-
ment plants are in the Category 1 zone (57.7%), with 35 in the Category 2
zone (18.5%). Only 43, or less than 23% are in zones 3-5. Water
treatment plants are similarly distributed; 17 are in Category 1 areas
(44.7%), 10 are in the Category 2 zone (26.3%), and 8 are located in areas
vulnerable to Category 3, 4 or 5 storms (22.9%).

The solid waste disposal system consists of 3 sites in Category 1 and 2 zones,
I1 site in the Category- 4 zone, but no sites in either Category 3 or 5 areas.

Electrical substations are primarily found in the coastal areas, as well;
23 are in the Category 1 and 2 zones, and only 7 are in Category 3-5 areas.
In particular, the Florida Power and Light Company Generating Plant, the
only one in the Region, is in the Category 1 area, directly beside the
Caloosahatchee River. Flooding of the river in this area could create a
severe problem in a hurricane; disruption of service could occur if the
plant is damaged (not only in Lee County but in adjacent counties as well).
In addition, the Gasparilla Oil Storage Facility, on the southern tip of
Gasparilla Island, is undoubtedly in the most precarious location of
any oil storage facility. There are four large storage tanks situated
in this area, and severe winds or a high storm surge could create a
tremendous hazard. Although the tanks have withstood previous hurricane
winds and surges, the proper precautions must be made well in advance of
a storm, to ensure that a minimum of damage occurs. Since the tanks store
oil to be used at the FPL generating plant in Fort Myers, a spill or other
mishap could affect the service not only in Lee County, but in other counties
as well.

Sarasota County

Facilities for Sarasota County, which has the second largest amount of
facilities (after Lee County) are summarized below.

Sarasota County has far fewer utility facilities situated in the Category 1
or 2 vulnerability zones than any of the other Southwest Florida counties.
Most of Sarasota County's support service facilities are in either the
Category 3, 4 or 5 zone, or are out of the SLOSH grid system entirely.
Only 14 sewage treatment plants are in either Category 1 or 2 vulnerability
zones (18.7%); 36 are in the Category 3-5 zones (48.0%), and 25 are completely
out of the SLOSH grid pattern (33.3%). Similarly, 9 water treatment plants
are in Category 1 and 2 areas (25.7%), while 20 are in Category 3-5 areas
(57.1%). Six (17.1%) are out of the SLOSH grid system. Sarasota
County is more protected from hurricane impacts on support service
facilities; thus, it should have less potential utility disruption than the
other three coastal counties.

Of the three landfill sites in-Sarasota County, one is out of the'SLOSH
grid pattern, one is in the Category 3 zone and one is in the Category 4
zone. No sites are located in Category 1 or 2 areas.

One electrical substation is located in the Category 1 zone, and one is in
the Category 2 zone; the remaining thirteen facilities are either in Categories
3, 4 or 5, or are out of the SLOSH grid entirely. These substations are
chiefly located'in higher, less hurricane-vulnerable areas than are those
of the other coastal counties, making Sarasota County less susceptible to
lengthy power outages following a hurricane.

High winds could still pose a major hazard, and these could easily create
utility service disruptions throughout the county despite the inland loca-
tions of most of the facilities.

Public Transportation Facilities

Transportation facilities have been inventoried in the same manner as utilities.
The names and locations of individual facilities are found in Appendices E and F.

A summary of this information by county and vulnerability zone is presented
in the table below.

An examination of the previous table indicates that the Region's transportation
* ~facilities are primarily located in the most susceptible areas, vulnerability
* ~zones 1-3. Thus, a major storm could disrupt public transportation between
counties in the Region and the remainder of the state. The Region's airports
will be particularly a~ffected, and precautions will have to be taken to avoid
I ~damage. Some airports located outside of very low-lying areas, however, such
as the Sarasota-Bradenton facility and the Southwest Florida Regional Jet-
I ~port in Lee County, should not be as detrimentally affected.

State and county roads, as well as federal highways, are not listed individually
in this inventory. Major routes are shown on the accompanying maps; clearly,
many of the roads are in hurricane-vulnerable areas and will be impassable.

I ~Analysis of this table indicates that the majority of public facilities
(related to the provision of health care, education, police and fire pro-
tection) are found in Lee and Sarasota Counties, the two most populous counties
in Southwest Florida. Over 61% of the facilities are located in these two counties.
The majority of facilities are found in the most hurricane-prone areas (zones
1, 2 and 3, with 64% of the total), while very few are located outside vulnera-
ble areas (21%).

The following sections provide an analysis of public facilities for each county,
by type of facility and location in hurricane vulnerable areas.

Nearly all the previously-defined public facilities in Charlotte County are in the
Category 1, 2 or 3 vulnerability zones. Only the forestry service (fire protection)
is located outside vulnerable areas. Of note, several major health care facilities
are in extremely flood-prone areas-, as well as several schools and fire departments.
The vulnerable location of many of Charlotte County's schools was previously noted
in the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council Reciional Hurricane Evacuation
Plan.

With the exception of the Immokalee-Lake Trafford area, all of Collier County's
public facilities are situated in the Category 1-3 vulnerability zones.
This includes 7 health care facilities, 18 schools and 19 police and fire
departments. Several sites,however, are found in the Immokalee area, and
are relatively safe from major hurricane impacts.

Glades and Hendry Counties

Few public facilities are located in Glades County in comparison to the
counties located on the coast. There are no hospitals or nursing homes in
Glades County, three sthools, one police protection agency and eight fire
protection facilities. These facilities will be subject to severe gusts
of wind and flooding from heavy rains, although storm surge will not be
a factor. Any disruption of services at these facilities will probably
be minor and for short term periods only.

Hendry County will be impacted primarily by hurricane-induced winds and freshwater
flooding, as opposed to coastal storm surge. Thus, most of the county's facilities
will experience little, if any, service disruption. Facilities for these two counties
are summarized below.

Lee County has a large number of public facilities, most of which are located
in hurricane - vulnerable areas. In general, 72% of all facilities are found
in zones 1 and 2, while the majority of the county's health care facilities
are in the Category I or 2 zone; only one hospital is in a relatively safe
area (Lehigh General). Of the sixty-two educational facilities in Lee County,
22 are located in the high-hazard Category 1 zone (35.5%), 24 are in the
Category 2 area (38.7%) and 15 are in Category 3 (24.2%). Hence, only 1
school is in an area not subject to direct saltwater flooding. Police and
fire protection facilities are also located chiefly in Category 1 through
3 areas.

Most of Sarasota County's public facilities are in either Category 3, 4, or 5,
or are outside vulnerable areas. Only one health care facility could be the
direct target of a storm surge.

The Sarasota County schools are also in less vulnerable areas; 94 percent
are in Categories 3-5, or out of the SLOSH grid pattern. With the exception
of Longboat Key and Nokomis, the police and fire departments are in upland
areas, as well. Longboat Key will need to make arrangements for its
equipment,to avoid damages from an oncoming storm.

Potential damage to these structures will be discussed in a subsequent chapter.

I ~~~HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INVENTORY
Hazardous materials,,defined as any substance or material which poses a risk to
safety and health, are potentially dangerous, especially in a natural disaster
such as a hurricane. A natural disaster can trigger additional disasters
if hazardous materials are exposed to water or air, or are struck by flying
I ~debris. One memorable example of this is the 1906 San Francisco earthquake;
the earthquake itself did far less damage than the city-wide fire which started
as a result of the earthquake. Thus, it is important to note the sites of
major hazardous materials storage areas in this Region, so that adequate
preparations may be made to offset possible damages resulting from a hurricane.
In this chapter, the location of ha~zardous materials storage in Southwest
I ~Florida was inventoried, based upon hurricane vulnerability zone (SLOSH Projec-
ted storm surge categories). A listing was made, using data obtained from
local Disaster Preparedness agencies, the Florida Department of Environmental
Regulation (FDER), Florida Department of Agriculture, and other local sources
such as fire departments. Until on-site inspections are made of each storage
area, it is not possible to establish the nature of each specific hazard.
However, this inventory does contain potential sites and, as such, is a starting
I ~point from which local officials could begin making inspections. (At this
time, Florida does not have a completed hazardous materials inventory by
county, nor has one been mandated. FDER is currently inspecting a few
major sites throughout the state.)
I ~METHODOLOGY
The inventory of hazardous materials was arranged using the United Nations
classification system of hazardous materials. There are nine classifications

I ~The sites of potentially hazardous materials in Southwest Florida have been
listed by county, including site location, company name and type of
hazardous material stored at each location. This inventory, due to its
I ~length, has been included in the appendix (see Appendix G ). Maps listing
these sites are included for each county. These maps reflect the potential
storm surge vulnerability zones for hurricane categories 1-5, as shown in
I ~the 1981-82 Regional Hurricane Evacuation Plan. A general analysis of the
material presented in the appendices is afi-o-ncluded, for each county.

It should be noted thatall potentially hazardous sites were listed, with
the exception of gas stations, hardware stores and other retail establishments,
which were either too numerous or contained only small amounts of hazardous
materials. In the inventory, no delineation has been made between small
I ~and large establishments although the majority are small businesses (such
as exterminating companies) and as such, pose less of a potential threat
* ~than major companies.

I ~ANALYSIS OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

'An analysis of the maps and inventory contained in the appendix reveals that
there is an extremely large amount of potentially hazardous sites in the
Region. A brief review by county is presented in the following sections.
I ~Charlotte County

Hazardous materials storage facilities in Charlotte County are located primarily
in the City of Punta Gorda and in Port Charlotte. Scattered sites are also
3 ~found near Englewood anjd the Murdock and Acline areas. The majority of the
sites are located along U.S. 41, although some sites were also found along
S.R. 765, S.R. 775, S.R. 776, S.R. 74 and U.S. 17.
I ~Since Charlotte County is one of the more hurricane-vulnerable counties in
the Region, potential hazardous materials sites are particularly susceptible
to hurricane impacts. Over half of all sites are located in the Category I
I ~vulnerability zone, while one-fourth were found in zone 2. Only a few sites
were located in either zones 3 or 4, while none were in zone 5 or outside the
vulnerable areas. In particular, sites clustered near the mouth of the Peace
3 ~River and along the coast of Charlotte Harbor pose a severe threat to those
environmentally sensitive areas, in the event of a disaster. Hazardous
materials found in Charlotte County chiefly include explosives, gases, and
I ~flammable liquids. Establishments using hazardous materials primarily include
excavating contractors, hospitals, oil and gas companies, water and sewage
plants, and pest control businesses, among others.

I ~Collier County
Potential hazardous materials sites in Collier County are chiefly located in
I ~Naples, North Naples and Immokalee. Many of the sites are either near the
Naples Airport, along U.S. 41, on the coast, or around S.R. 29 in Immokalee.
A few sites were inventoried on Marco Island, with scattered sites near
3 ~Everglades City, Carnestown, and Naples Manor.

The sites in Immokalee are primarily storage areas for flammable liquids,
poisons or gases, used in fruit and vegetable packing and growing businesses.
The hazards found on Marco Island are also gases and flammable liquids. All
of the nine types of hazards can be found in Naples and North Naples.

E ~Almost all the sites are within hurricane vulnerability zones. Only the
sites in Immokalee are outside the vulnerability areas for storms in categories
1-3. The majority of the sites near Naples are in the Category 3 vulnerability
zone; however, since over 40% of the sites are found in the Category I and 2
zones, even a minimal strength hurricane would pose a threat.

Glades County
All except one of the sites in Glades County are situated in and around the
City of Moore Haven. The one exception is the Ortona Sand Company, on S.R. 78
in Ortona. Although there are few potentially dangerous sites in Glades County,
the major highway through the county (U.S. 27) is a major route used forI
shipping materials into the southern part of the state and, as such, could be
potentially dangerous if hazardous materials were transported along the high-
way during a hurricane.
Since Glades County is in the interior part of the state, it is not subject
to saltwater flooding (.as predicted by the SLOSH model). The county is
susceptible to gale force winds, however, as well as possible freshwater
flooding, so precautions should be taken. It should also be noted that nearly
all hazardous materials sites are located in the Moore Haven area, adjacent
to Lake Okeechobee. Although a dike has been built to prevent the lake fromI
flooding, the possibility of freshwater flooding from the lake must not be
discounted.
Hendry County
An examination of the map of Hendry County reveals that nearly all the poten-
tially hazardous sites are clustered around the cities of LaBelle and Clewiston.I
There are also a few sites located south of both cities. The sites in the
outlying areas are all located near major state roads, which is an advantage
if an evacuation is necessary for any reason. The major sites located outsideI
the incorporated areas are: the Evercane Sugar Company (G5) where varying
quanties of fuel oil, gas, sulfuric acid, etc. are stored; Felda Growers and
Packers (GIO); the Big Cypress Water Plant (G3), users of chlorine in largeI
quantities; and Citrus Belle (SI), users of chlorine, insecticides, etc.
These and other sites should maintain communications with Disaster Preparedness
officials to ensure that any assistance they need in an emergency can be
provided in a timely manner.
None of the Hendry County Sites are located in SLOSH vulnerability zones. How-
ever, gale force winds could affect Hendry County in a hurricane. Sites
storing materials in containers located outside and above ground should take
precautions in securing these materials or make other arrangements, if
necessary, in the event of a storm. Underground storage areas should beI
adequately covered, so that water seepage from rainfall does not occur.

Lee County
The City-of Fort Myers contains the majority of Lee County's potential
hazardous materials sites. Most of these sites are located along U.S. 41,
or near the Seaboard Coastline Railroad. A few sites are clustered nearI
Page Field. Sites are also located in North Fort Myers, near both U.S. 41
and Business 41, as well as S.R. 78, and S.R. 78A. Additional sites are
found in Alva, (East Fort Myers) Lehigh, South Fort Myers, and Bonita, nearU
the Collier County line. Very few sites were found on Estero Island,
Sanibel, Pine Island and in Cape Coral.

INearly all (over 95%) of the sites in Lee County are in the Category 1, 2, or
3 vulnerability zones. This includes sites within the City of Fort Myers.
E Only a few sites in Lehigh fall in the Category 4 zone, while none are
located in the Category 5 area or outside the vulnerable areas. Hence,
nearly every site in Lee County is in a potentially vulnerable area. The
sites near the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River and near the bridge
approaches are particularly vulnerable. Sites on the barrier islands are
the most susceptible to hurricane impacts, although there are few sites in
these locations.
IThe predominant hazardous materials found in Lee County include explosives,
gases, flammable liquids, and poisonous substances. A few major Lee County
storage areas, such as Ohio Medical Supply, Asgrow Florida Company, the Exxon
Bulk Plant, the Chevron Bulk Plant and the Robbins Manufacturing Company are
inspected by the Department of Environmental Regulation.

I ~Sarasota County
The overwhelming majority of potential hazardous materials sites in Sarasota
County are located in the City of Sarasota and surrounding areas. Several sites
are located in and around the Bee Ridge area, along Highway 301 south of the
city and at the intersection of 1-75 and S.R. 780. Additional sites were
found scattered through the Venice area, and Englewood. No sites were located
in the City of North Port or in the Town of Longboat Key. Only two sites were
found on Siesta Key; no sites were located on the remaining barrier islands.

3 ~The majority of hazardous materials sites in Sarasota County are located in
the less vulnerable areas. Over half of the sites are located in zones 4 and
5, affording those areas a greater degree of protection from less severe
3 ~storms. Very few (less than 5%) of the sites are in the most vulnerable area
(zone 1).
3 ~In general, a mix of hazardous materials was found in Sarasota County. The
3 ~predominant hazardous materials include flammable liquids, gases and poisonous
substances.
D ~Regional Summary

A brief survey of hazardous materials and their locations have been provided
in the previous sections. Analysis of the inventory in the appendix indicates
that the list is extensive; hazardous materials of all types are located within
the Region. Many of the sites are located in areas that are extremely vulner-
able to hurricane impacts. Lee and Charlotte Counties are particularly
I ~vulnerable while Sarasota County is less so. In the inland counties of Glades
and Hendry, there are few hazardous materials sites. Although not subject
I~~to saltwater flooding, they are susceptible to high winds and possible
freshwater flooding.

I ~~~~~~~~~~~~6.7

The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation inspects major hazardous3
materials sites in the Region on an infrequent basis. Major sites, however,
account for few of the numerous facilities in Southwest Florida.
In summary, since there are numerous hazardous materials sites that couldI
be potentially dangerous if a hurricane were to occur, these locations
should be noted and precautions should be taken if necessary, to avoid
any possible adverse impacts.

* ~~~~PROJECTED STRUCTURAL LOSS
This chapter includes an assessment of the value of structures located within
each previously-defined vulnerability zone. Building values for residential,
commercial, industrial and public land uses have been included for each county
in Southwest Florida as well as totals for the Region. In addition, projected
hurricane-induced losses (dollar amounts) for structures were determined, based
* ~upon the subsequent methodology.

METHODOLOGY
E ~Initial Assessment
Estimating structural losses due to hurricanes involved a two-part methodology.
First, the most recent county tax assessment data (1981) was utilized to deter-
mine the values for various types of land uses for each county. This information
was provided by either the respective property appraiser's office (in the case
of Lee County) or the Florida Department of Revenue (which received the informa-
I ~tion from the County Property Appraiser's office). The data from the property,
appraiser's office, in the form of tax tapes, was processed by the University
of Florida Center for Instructional and Research Computinq Activity, and the in-
I ~formation contained on the tape (just value, building value, land value and
parcels) was categorized by township, range and section number to conform with
vulnerability zones used in this study. The University of Florida Computer
Center processed the tax tapes for Charlotte, Collier and Sarasota Counties
while Lee County was done by the county's data processing center. Once the
data was received, the sections of each township and range were allotted to
their respective vulnerability zones (category 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or outside
I ~category 5). For the inland counties of Glades and Hendry which were outside
the SLOSH Grid, no -flood categories were listed. Once all sections were
defined by zone, the building values contained on the printout were then
I ~aggregated by zone and type of land use. There were 99 standardized types of
land uses utilized by the property appraisers under the following general
categories: Residential, Commercial , Industrial, Agricultural, Institutional,
* ~Government and Miscellaneous.
Determination of Loss
Once the total building values were determined by land use type and vulnerability
zone, estimates of damage were calculated for both flood and wind damage. To
determine the value of projected structural loss, a percentage of'unit damage
miethod was used, correlated to surge height and wind velocity thresholds. The
percentage losses for flooding were derived from flood insurance studies and
the Federal Insurance Administration Flood Insurance Rate Reviews. Percentage
loss is based upon several factors including frequency of occurrence, elevation
I ~and depth of flooding (above floor level of structure). Several different
percentages of damage were utilized, depending upon type of structure (residen-
tial, commercial, etc.) and type of unit (One story, over one story). A
I ~separate factor was applied to mobile homes. Percentages of damage varied
widely, ranging from approximately 9% to 90% of total value. For wind damage,
factors contained in Computer Simulation in Natural Hazard Assessment were
3 ~utilized. It should be noted that two types of damage can occur to buildings:

* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~71

either flood damage caused by a hurricane (storm surge or flooding) or wind
damage. In addition, combinations of both wind and flood damage can also
occur.

The resultant damage estimates represent potential hurricane damaqe, or that
&miount of damage that could be experienced in the worst possible hurricane
damage, for that category (strength) of storm. Thus, the dollar losses in all
subsequent tables represent maximum potential damage. It is improbable that
any single storm would cause this stated amount of damage, since the categories
are based upon a composite of storms.1 The following sections describe in detail
the percentage of damage used to determine loss.

Wind Damage

To determine wind damage, the methodology employed was that used in Computer
Simulation in Natural Hazard Assessment by Friedman (1975). Vulnerability
of buildings to hurricane winds was based upon the wind speed, (which was
correlated by staff to storm category), as well as the type of unit (single
unit residential, other residential, and non-residential). To estimate
wind damage, first, the percentage of buildings that would be affected in a
certain area was determined, then the percentage of value lost was determined
for the affected buildings. This factor was applied to the total building
value for each category storm, as seen in the table below.

Colorado, 1975, p. 73.

I The hurricane vulnerability zones were based not upon one single storm, but
upon a combination of possible storms, using the greatest flooding for each
case.

These factors were applied to all units, although the wind damage percentages
were reduced in areas that would also experience flooding. (Since the struc-
tures would have already been damaged by water, using both wind and flood damage
values would overstate the total damage).

In general, wind damage was more severe for single-family residential units than
for other types of residential and non-residential buildings. Non-residential
units were affected the least and lost the least percentage of value.1
Flood Damage
Damage due to flood waters was calculated for each storm category. Again, flood
damage varied according to the type of structure and water depth. For example,
structural classifications included one-story structures, with or without base-
ments; two stories or more, with or without basements; and mobile homes.
Percentages of damage varied according to the degree of flooding (water depth
above floor), as well as classification of structure. The percentages wereI
applied to the value of structures located in each vulnerability zone, to
determine the loss for that specific zone. To calculate total loss, damage for
each zone was added to the previous zone's damage. For example, in a categor~yI
2 storm, category 2 zones would receive a certain amount of flooding and a
certain percentage of damage. At the same time, category I zones (in a cate-
gory 2 storm) would also receive flooding and damage (more flooding than zone 2) .
These damages for both areas would have to be summed to determine total damage
for a category 2 storm. Likewise, in a category 3 storm, damage for a category
3 area would have to be added to damages for categories I and 2 to arrive at a
total damage. Table34 gives damage percentages by type of structure and stormI
category, as well as average flooding for each storm category and maximum
flooding (above mean sea level).

1It should be noted'here that no separate factor is given for mobile homes.
Although it is well known that mobile homes are extremely susceptible toI
damage due to their construction, no methodology exists to correlate
percentages of damage with wind speed. Information obtained from the
Florida Windstorm Underwriters Association (FWUA) and the Insurance
Services Office (which sets rates for the FWUA), indicates that wind
damage to mobile homes is based on numerous factors, including specific
geographic location as well as wind speed. Thus, for the purposes of
study, wind damage for single-family units is also used for mobileI
homes, although it is recognized that mobile home damage could be much
more severe.

The'percentages used to calculate damages are those used in Federal Flood Insurance
Studies. Flooding is determined by the number of feet above floor level. Flooding
levels for each storm category were determined by the staff, based upon maximum
flooding for each category as defined by the SWFRPC Hurricane Evacuation Plan.
Average elevation above mean sea level was subtracted to determine the level of
flooding (above floor level). Flooding levels are graphically represented on
maps 2-5.

The following example illustrates how Table 34 works. In a category 3 storm
(winds of 111 to 130 mph, and maximum flooding of 17 feet above mean sea level),
flooding must be determined for zones 1, 2 and 3. In vulnerability zone 1, the
average elevation is subtracted from the maximum potential flooding of 17 feet
(above mean sea level) to arrive at average flooding of 9 feet in that particular
area. When 9 feet of flooding occurs, damage ranges from 33.39% of total value
for buildings of more than 1 story, to 44.76% for single story homes, and 88.20%

1 Based on Saffir-Simpson Scale.
2 See maps 2-5.
3 For example, in a category 3 storm, zone 1 areas would receive an average of
9 ft. of flooding, (17 feet maximum flooding minus average elevation of 8 feet)
category 2 areas would receive 5 feet of flooding and category 3 areas would
receive 2 feet of flooding.
4 Maximum flooding minus average elevation.

for mobile homes. In vulnerability zone 2, average flooding of 5 feet would
occur (17 feet maximum minus average elevation for zone 2). Damage ratios for
5 feet of flooding are 30.37%, 22.18%, and 79.19% for single-story, over one
story and mobile homes, respectively. In zone 3 areas, average flooding at
2 feet would occur (maximum flooding of 17 feet minus average elevation of
15 feet), Damage ratios are 16.00%, 13.42% and 62.18%, respectively. These
percentages are applied to the value of structures located in each zone to
determine the amount of damage. Total damage for a category 3 storm is
calculated by adding together the damage in zones 1, 2, and 3.

It can be seen from the preceding table that flood damage to mobile homes is
most severe, ranging from 42.6% of total value (when flooding ofl foot occurs)
up to 88.2% of value when flooding reaches 8 feet or more.1 Damages increase
quickly also, rising from 42.6% in 1 foot of flooding to 77.85% in four feet
of flooding. Single-story homes receive a lesser amount of damage, approaching
10% damage in a category 1 storm, increasing to nearly 49% in category 5. Homes
with more than one story receive the least damages overall, due to their ele-
vation. Damages ranged from 8.6% in the least severe storms to 37.8% in the
categories 4 and 5 storms.
Appendix H includes a detailed example of the methodology used in calculating
both wind and flood damage, to determine damage totals.

Results of Analysis

To determine total damages by storm category, damages due to flooding, wind
and surge must be added together. The subsequent sections analyze the results
of the study for each county. A regional summary is included as well.
CHARLOTTE COUNTY

To determine the amount of damage that could occur in Charlotte County as
the result of a hurricane, total building value must be determined for each
vulnerability zone (area affected by storm). Values are given below, for
each zone (1-5), and the total value is also given (which includes 1 through 5
as well as areas outside those zones).

1 In the Flood Insurance Rate Reviews 88.2% is the maximum damage listed.

Note: Values for categories 1 through 5 may not equal the total because areas
outside category 5 have been excluded.

* Miscellaneous includes categories such as utilities, water and sewer
service, leasehold interests, mining lands, etc.

Analysis of the preceding table demonstrates that total building value
amounts to $1.2 billion for Charlotte County. The greatest value occurs in
the residential sector, with $965 million (79% of the total). Commercial value
is the second greatest,followed by government, institutional, and finally
industrial.

The greatest value is located in that portion of the county that would be
affected by category 1 storms. Approximately $622 million worth of buildings
are located in this area. Only a very small portion of total value is located
in areas that are not subject to flooding (less than 1%).

Based upon these values, potential property damage to buildings has been
determined. Wind and flood damages have been calculated separately, then
summed to determine total damage. Wind damage for the various storm cate-
gories and land uses is found in the following table.

Note: Figures rounded to thousands

Wind damage could amount to $1.1 million in minor storms, but generally
tends to decrease after category 2. This is because less building value
is affected in storm categories 3 through 5 (the values for zones 1 and 2
have been excluded since they have already been damaged by flooding, thus,
even though the percentage of wind damage would be greater in storm cate-
gories 3-5, the actual damage amounts would be less). As a percentage of
total building value, wind damage is relatively small, amounting to less
than 1% overall.

Flood damage is much greater, however. Damage due to high levels of water
resulting from a hurricane have been estimated at up to $568 million, as
seen in the subsequent table.

Total damage could amount to $65 million in the least severe storm, to more than
$568 million in a major storm. Residential property would be affected the most,
accounting for 80% of total damage in the most severe storm. Commercial property
would also be negatively affected with-wind and flood damages of $52 million in
category 5, or 9% of total damages. Government, institutional, industrial, and
I ~miscellaneous property would be affected the least, with combined damages ranging
from less than $5.9 million (category 1) to'$60.5 million in a category 5 storm
I .~(10% of the total).

COLLIER COUNTY

The amount of damage that could result from hurricanes in Collier County is
dependent upon the total value of structures in the county. Values have been
determined for each structure by land use group and vulnerability zone. Total
I ~value is found in the table below.

I Flooding calculations do not include storm surge, because the surge affects
only a relatively small geographic area (portions of barrier islands, etc).
I ~~Due to the format of the tax tapes (aggregated by township, range and section
number) it was impossible to accurately estimate building Values and project
surge-related damage totals for such small areas. Damage totals would be slightly

greater if surge were included.

* Total value also includes areas outside categories 1-5.

Total building value in Collier County amounts to $2.3 billion. Residential
structures account for the majority of the total value, with $2 billion, or
86%. Commercial property is the second most important group, followed by
institutional. Residential property is by far the most important category,
however. All the other categories combined account for only 14% of total
building value in the county.

An examination of values by vulnerability zone reveals that the vast majority
of structures and value is found in the zone 1 area. The total value of
property (structures only) thatlies in an area that could be affected in a
category 1 (minor) hurricane equals $1.3 billion (or over 57% of total value).
Amounts are much smaller in the remaining areas. Property located outside the
category 5 area (area not subject to flooding) is valued at $26 million1
or only 1% of the total building value.

The amount of damage that could occur to structures has been estimated using
the percentage damage factors previously discussed. These factors have been
applied to the total building values in Collier County to determine the amount
of loss resulting from various types of storms (categories 1-5). The percentage
used varies according to land use type, as explained in the methodology section.
Damages by wind and water were also calculated separately. Wind damage esti-
mates are provided in the following table.

Potential wind damage would vary, according to the intensity of the hurricane.
For example, a small storm (category 1) generally would damage only a small
portion of the county, with losses possibly totaling $1.7 million. In a
stronger storm (category 2), damages would increase because of the intensity
of the storm and because a larger area would be affected. Damage actually
declines in a category 5 storm, because the majority of structures have
already sustained flooding damages; thus, less building value is affected.

Residential property would suffer the most damage, while damage to commercial,
industrial and other land uses would bemuch less (due to the inland location
of many of these land uses, and the greater predominance of residential
property).

Wind damage accounts for only a minor portion of damage due to a hurricane.
Damage from flood water is much more severe. Applying the flood damage factors
(based upon level of flooding and type of structure) to total building value
yields flood damage results, as depicted in Table 41.

Flood damage is far more costly add extensive than wind damage. Damage due
to flood waters could range from $123 million in category 1 storms to $930
million in category 5 storms. Again, residential property would be most
adversely affected, with damages potentially exceeding $803 million in major
storms. Damages for other categories are also substantial.

Total damage in Collier County could range from $125 million in the least
severe storm category to $684 million in a category 3 (Donna-type) storm,
to over $934 million in the most severe storms. The most damage would
occur in residential areas, with $806 million (category 5) or 86% of total
damage. Other categories would also be detrimentally affected although to a
lesser degree. Total damage to buildings is found in the following table.

GLADES COUNTY

Since Glades County is located inland (outside of the SLOSH grid), it is
not subject to saltwater flooding. Thus the only damages that would occur
would result from wind damage. (It should be noted, however, that some
freshwater flooding could occur, but since the probability and amount have
not been determined, damage cannot be accurately estimated).

Wind damage has been estimated, based upon total valuations for each major
land use as noted in the following table.

Percentages varied according to type of structure and wind-speed. (It should
be noted that percentages were applied against total value, which included

The wind category is equivalent to the storm category. For example, wind
speeds range from' 74-95 mph in category 1 to over 155 mph in a category 5
storm. Thus, damage is related to wind speed and type of building.

In Glades County, total wind damages could amount to $137,000 in a minor
storm to over $9 million in a major storm (winds xceeding 155 mph). Resi-
dential property would be most adversely affected?, with damages possibly
amounting to over $5 million. Mobile homes would receive the worst wind
damage, due to their predominance. Damage could amount to approximately
8% of total real property value of $421,707,120. It should be noted that
since agriculture by far accounts for the greatest proportion of value
(77% of total value), damage to other types of land use would be relatively
less important.

HENDRY COUNTY

Hendry County is also located outside the areas that are subject to saltwater
flooding. Because of its inland location, Hendry County would only be sub-
jected to wind damage (or possible freshwater flooding which has previously
been discussed). Wind damage generally increases as storm intensity (wind
speed) increases, although different types of structures are affected by
winds differently.

Wind damage is calculated as a percentage of total value. Total value for
Hendry County is listed in Table 45

1 Excluding agricultural property, which primarily consists of land value.
Agricultural loss has been treated separately in another chapter.

I ~Agricultural property accounts for the largest total value of all land use
categories in Hendry County. Since agricultural loss has been examined in
another chapter, it will be excluded from this discussion, except to note
that it is the basis of the county's economy and most important land use.
Aside from agriculture, residential land use accounts for the greatest
I ~total value, with $147 million (primarily single-family housing). Govern-
ment is the next most important category, followed by commercial use. Other
categories account for relatively small proportions of total value.

When the percentages of damage for wind are applied to the values contained
in the previous table, estimated damages are determined. Projected damages

The above data, illustrates that in a storm of minimum intensity, approximately
$485,000 in damages could accrue, while in a major storm, damages could amount
to over $34.4 million.1
Residential damage could account for $22.8 million (in category 5), or 66%
of total damage (excluding agricultural damage). Agricultural damage would
also have a significant impact on the county (see Chapter 10). Wind damage
to governmental land uses would also be significant, possible amounting to
over $6 million in a'major hurricane. Industrial and institutional uses would
be least affected, in terms of structural damage.

LEE COUNTY

In order to determine the amount of potential damage expected to occur, the
total value of buildings must be determined. Total value for Lee County
structures, excluding land,2is given in the Table below. Value is included
for each major land use category, by vulnerability zone.

Excluding agricultural damage.
2 Only building values have been used in this study. It is assumed that land
value generally will not be affected by storms, although this may not be
entirely true, since many islands are subject to erosion and land values
may thus be diminished.

since total includes areas outside of storm category 5.

It can be seen upon examination of the above table that, as in the other counties,
residential property accounts for the greatest portion of total value (over 48%).
Commercial property follows, although it accounts for only 8.5% of the total.
Government use is third, with less than 3%. Industrial is least important,
accounting for only 1% of total value.

The greatest value occurs in the zone 1 area (31% or $1 billion), gradually
decreasing to $192 million in the category 5 area. This is significant
since 50% of the total value is located in the most vulnerable areas (zones
1 and 2). It should also be noted, however, that $1 billion in property
(35%) is located outside the hurricane vulnerable areas. Further examination
will determine amounts of damage based upon these values.

To determine the amount of storm damage, the previous values have been used in
conjunction with percentage estimates for both flooding and wind damage (see
Methodology). Different percentages were applied against the various types
of land use, depending upon the types of structures for each land use category.
Total potential wind damage is found in the table below.

It can be seen from the previous table that wind damage could range from
$2.4 million in a minor hurricane to over $10 million in a major (category
5) hurricane1. As a percentage of total value, wind damages are relatively
small (amounting to less thanl% of total building value in category 5). Resi-
dential property value would be most affected by wind damage, while damage
to other sectors would be much smaller.

Damage from flooding water, however is much more significant. Again, to
determine flood damages, percentages are applied to total values for each
category storm for all zones that are subject to flooding. To determine
totals, for example, in a category 3 storm, the percentage of damage result-
ing from a category 3 storm must be determined for zones 1, 2, and 3. Pro-
jected potential damage due to flooding is found below.

Wind damage actually is the greatest in category 4, because in a category 5
hurricane damage is assessed against a smaller total value (against the total
building value minus zones 1 through 5,which is equivalent to the value located
outside vulnerable zones). This was done to avoid double counting since areas
1-5 would have already received flooding damage.
87

It can be seen that flooding caused the most destruction (in terms of dollar
value of structures) when compared to wind.

Flooding damage in a category 1 storm is more than 20 times the amount caused
by wind damage. In the most severe storm, flooding damage is nearly 5 times
the amount of wind damage.

Total potential damage caused by both wind and water has been estimated in
Table 50 for Lee County.

Total damage that could be caused by the forces of both wind and water could
range from $112 million in the least severe category of storms to $687 million
for a category 3 storm, to over $960 million in the most severe storm category.
Residential property would be affected most, accounting for 76% of total damage.
Commercial property would also be detrimentally affected, with wind and flood
damages of $138 million (category 5) or 14% of total damages. Government, in-
stitutional and industrial property would be affected the least, with combined
damage ranging from less than $5 million (category 1) to $84 million in
category 5.

In summary, residential property by far would incur the most damage (76%),
while the other land use categories would not be affected nearly as much.
Water damage is much more intense than wind damage. Damage potential increases
as storm level intensified, doubling between category 1 and 2, and increasing
by smaller amounts through category 5. Damages increased nearly ninefold
between categories 1 and 5. Thus, although damage potential in a small intensity
storm may total $112 million, damage potential in a major storm could reach
$960 million, or 26% of the total building value of the county.

SARASOTA COUNTY

Sarasota County's total structure value, as indicated in Table 51, amounts
to over $4.4 billion. Potential wind and flood damages from storms can be
determined, based upon these amounts.

An examination of the previous table shows that residential property accounts
for the greatest percentage of total value (80%). Commercial property, valued
at $409 million, accounts for the second largest amount, but only 10% of the
total. Other categories combined account for only 10%, or $446 million.

Property in the category 1 area (that area of the county that would be affected
by all hurricanes) is valued at $1.6 billion, the highest value of all zones
(38% of total value). Values generally decrease in zones 2 and 3, since less
land area is affected. Value rises, however, in categories 4 and 5. In
addition, $752 million worth of property (17% of the total) is located out-
side the vulnerable areas (zones 1 through 5), and would not be affected by
flood damage.

Damage that could result from a variety of hurricanes (categories 1 through
5) has been calculated, based upon total building value and percentages of
damage related to wind speed, flood level and building type. Damage poten-
tial from wind alone is found in the following table.

Damage from hurricane winds could be extensive in Sarasota'County, depending
upon the strength of the storm. Wind damage could range from $5 million in
a minor storm, to nearly $100 million in a major hurricane. Even in a major
storm, however, dollar loss accounts for only a minor portion (2%) of total
building values. Residential property would be most adversely affected by
hurricane winds, although detrimental impacts would also be significant for
commercial and other types of land use.

Water damage could amount to $158 million in category 1 storms, but can increase
many times to $1.2 billion in category 5 storms. Thus, damage can range from
3% of total building value in minor storms to approximately 27% of value in
major storms.

Residential property again would receive the most negative impacts, with possible
damages ranging from $134 million in category 1 (90% of total damage from cate-
gory 1) to $1 billion in category 5 storms (82% of total damage for category 5).

Other types of land use would sustain damages, ranging from $9.3 million in a
category 1 (commercial land use ) to $136 million in a category 5 storm (for
commercial land use).

When water damage and wind damage are combined, total damage can be very great.
Damage due to wind and water is provided in Table 54

SOURCE:

Total damage potential due to a hurricane could amount to $164 million in
minor storms, or could increase to $1.37 billion in major hurricanes.

The most negative effects would result in residential areas, since this is
the predominate land use in the county. Residential damage could amount to
80% of total damage in a major storm, or approximately $1.1 billion.

Other land uses would also be negatively affected, but to a lesser degree.
For example, commercial land use, which would be the category impacted the
most (after residential) could suffer damages ranging from $9,645,000 to
$139,147,000. Government land use could also be damaged by a large amount
($7 million to $70 million), followed by institutional and industrial uses.

In summary, it can be seen that the greatest damage occurs due to flooding,
while wind damage is relatively minor. In addition, residential property
would incur the most damage, approximately 8 times more damage than commercial
property (the second greatest category).

REGIONAL SUMMARY

Building values have been summed for each county to determine total value for
Southwest Florida. These values are given in the table below. It should be
noted that since Glades and Hendry Counties are located outside the SLOSH Grid
and thus are not subdivided into storm categories, only the total value is
given.

Note: Categories 1 through 5 may nrot equal total value since areas outside
of category 5 have been excluded. Values are for the area within
each vulnerability zone and are not cumulative.
Total value for Glades and Hendry Counties includes some land values, but
excludes agricultural land.

The greatest total value is found in Sarasota County, with $4.4 billion, followed
closely by Lee County, with building value exceeding $3.6 billion. The remain-
ing counties have relatively smaller values, since they are less developed.
The inland counties of Glades and Hendry have the smallest values, together amount-
inq to $396 million, Residential property accounts for the greatest propor-
tion of total value in the Region, while industrial value is the least important.

The greatest building value occurs in the zone 1 areas, with $4.7 billion, or
40% of total value, gradually decreasing to $964 million in the category 5
areas. Structures in zones 1 and 2 combined are worth over $6.6 billion. Thus,
over half the buildings (value) are located in the areas of the Region most
susceptible to hurricanes. However, a substantial portion of property $2.5
billion, or 20% of total building value, is located outside the hurricane-
vulnerable areas and thus would not be damaged by storm flooding.

Total storm damage is the result of wind and water damages in each county.
Wind, flooding and total damages for the Region are displayed in the next three
tables.

Wind damages in the Region range from $11 million in category t storms to
$158 million in category 5 storms. The greatest wind damage would occur
in Sarasota County, with damage ranging from $5 million to nearly $100
million (46%- 63% of the total). Damage is greater in Sarasota County than
the other counties combined since a relatively greater percentage of struc-
tures is located inland, where wind damage ratios are greater, and also be-
cause in the other counties, such as Lee, the value of areas that received
flood damage is excluded when determining wind damages: consequently, smaller
values are used for these counties and, as a result, wind damage is less. The
inland counties would experience more Wind damaqe than the smaller coastal
counties, since they are not subject to saltwater flooding damage.

Potential damage due to flood waters amounts to $456 million in Southwest
Florida in minor storms, (see Table 57 ), increasing to $3.7 billion in
major storms. Flooding damage has the 7most dollar impact in Sarasota County
(over one-third the total flood damage) followed by Lee and Collier Counti'es.
Damage in Collier County actually exceeds that of Lee County in storms of
lesser magnitude (categories 1-3). This is primarily due to Collier County's
low elevation and flat topography. In general, damage increases as storm
intensity increases; however, damage in Sarasota County is not as great as
could be expected, since a large portion of the county is located outside
vulnerable areas. Thus, the least damage is due to category 1 storms, while
the most occurs in category 5 storms (see Table).

Total damage due to wind and water is summarized in the following table,
Damages due to these combined-impacts in the Region range from $467 million
in a minor storm to $3.8 billion in a major storm. The two largest counties
would receive the greatest damage to structures. Damage to Sarasota County
would be the greatest, ranging from $164 million in category 1 to over $1.3
billion in category 5. Lee County would also incur great damage, with
$112 million (category 1) to $960 million (category 5). The smaller counties
would receive less damage,1. but still significant amounts, especially in
the more severe storms.

Even though amounts are small in the less populated counties, damages can be
great in terms of the county's resource base. For example, per capita damages
in Glades County are nearly as great as those in Lee County, indicating that
the impact is approximately equal in terms of the resource base.

In summary, the larger counties generally will experience the greatest amounts
of total damage. However, Sarasota County will incur relatively less damageI
than might be expected, since a large portion of the county is locate-d outside
the category 5 area and thus would not be affected by a hurricane. Collier
County, conversely, would be damaged more than would be expected (even more
than Lee County in Category I and 2 storms) due to its low elevation and large
number of structures in vulnerable areas.
Residential property would receive the most damage, by far, due to its pre-I
dominance as a land use type in all counties, and also due to its location in
the most hurricane-vul'nerable areas. Commercial property would also receive
significant damage, while damage to other types of land uses would be relatively I
less.
Although total damage is comprised of both wind and water damage, water
damage is the most severe, twenty to forty times greater than wind damage.
Total damage from wind and water in Southwest Florida ranges from 4%
(category 1) to 32% (category 5) of total building value.
Mitigating losses is important, especially when damage to buildings alone
could total more than $3.8 billion in Southwest Florida. In addition to
the direct effects upOon structures, there are other hurricane-relatedI
impacts, such as indirect effects upon the economy and employment. These
will be discussed in subsequent chapters.

95~~~~~~~~

IMPACTS ON PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES
I ~A hurricane can cause numerous impacts, some which are readily apparent and
others that are less evident. The previous chapter described the direct damage
to buildings resulting from hurricane winds and flooding. There are other
I ~indirect impacts, such as social disruption, employment loss, monetary loss of
income and wages caused by suspension of business, and other effects that are
I ~not as easily quantifiable. These impacts, as well as direct impacts to public
facilities, will be described in the following two chapters.
This chapter will discuss damage to facilities providing public services, as
well as -service loss and social disruption caused by hurricanes. Public
facilities, defined as those facilities providing' services that are necessary
for the public health, safety and welfare, may be damaged by hurricanes and
service may consequently be disrupted. The following sections will examine the
I ~value of these public facilities, estimate potential damages to structures, and
discuss briefly the consequences of service disruption. The following six types
of public services will be examined,
Water (including water treatment plants)
Wastewater (including package and other plants)
Electricity (including generating plants, substations and
switching stations)
Transportation (including land, water and air)
Health Care (including hospitals, nursing homes and similar
Other (schools)faiiis

I ~METHODOLOGY
Assessed values for the previously described land uses were derived from the
I ~tax roll tapes of the various county property appraiser departments. The
assessed values, which are generally equivalent to the fair market value of
structures, have been used in most cases to determine potential damages. Infor-
mation concerning the location and number of these facilities was derived from
information contained in the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council Support
Services report (updated in 1982), while values for these facilities were
derived from the tax rolls.
The following sections include an analysis of the number of service facilities
for each county. Facilities are categorized by land use type, and are also
allocated to zones of hurricane vulnerability. Values for buildings within each
group are provided, and these values have been used to calculate structural losses.
* ~A regional summary and conclusions are also presented.
A detailed listing of each type of public service facility (water, wastewater
treatment, electrical, transportation, health care and schools) by county and
I ~by vulnerability zone, is provided in Appendix E. Maps locating each facility
are found in Appendix F.

In Charlotte County, there are 131 public facilities. Most are located in areas
that are extremely vulnerable to hurricanes. For example, approximately 58% of
I ~the total is found in the zone I area, which is defined as that portion of the
county that would be affected even by minor hurricanes. Conversely, only 2
I ~facilities are located in the Category 5 area or beyond,which are the relatively
safer areas.. Wastewater treatment plants are located in the most vulnerable area,
with 56 or 69% of the total, located in the category I zone.

I .~Health care facilities account for the greatest building value of all public
facilities in Charlotte County, followed by schools, as seen in the subsequent
table. Most health care facilities and schools are located in areas that can
be affected by hurricanes. Other important public services include provision
of water, wastewater, treatment, electricity- and transportation, although the
values for these facilities amount to much less than that of health care.

Building value amounts to $57 million for Charlotte County. The greatest values
are found in the education and health care services, which together account for
88% of the total. Building value is greatest in the most susceptible areas
(zones 1 and 2), where $53 million, or 92% of total value is found. Thus, the
greatest building value is locatedin the area where potential damage would be
most significant.

Building values above have been used to determine potential hurricane losses for
each type of storm (using the damage ratios described in Chapter 8 ). Losses
are contained in Table 61 . Examination of the table indicates that losses could
amount to $2 million in minimal types of hurricanes to over $26 million in extreme
storms. Damage in most cases1 would be greatest to buildings such as hospitals,
nursing homes and similar facilities, while the least amount of damage would be
incurred by electrical facilities.

1 In minor (cat. 1) storms, schools would be damaged the most.

COLLIER COUNTY

An examination of public facilities has been made for the following land use
categories in Collier County: water, wastewater, electricity, transportation,
health care and schools. The totals for each type of facility are
given, in relation to their location by storm zone. This information is
contained in Table 62.

The number of public service facilities totals 156 in Collier County. It is
evident from the preceding table that the majority of these facilities (83 or
53% of the total) are located in areas that are most susceptible to hurricane
damage (zones 1 and 2). Some facilities are located in the inland areas,
primarily in the category 3 zone, where 29% of the total is found. Very few
facilities are found outside the most susceptible areas and only 2 facilities
are found outside the categories 1-5 areas (.and subsequently, not subject to
hurricane flooding).

The types of public services that would be most vulnerable would be wastewater
treatment plants, due to the large number of facilities- in vulnerable areas,
and also water plants, due to their location (half the total water plants are
located in the category 1 area).

Other types of services would also be affected, although not to the same degree
since their numbers are fewer. Most schools are located inland, thus, they would
not be affected as severely.

The structural value of public facilities is also necessary to determine potential
hurricane loss. Building values for facilities in the previously described land
use categories are provided in Table 63, by vulnerability zone.

Building value for public service facilities in Collier County totals approximately
$25 million. The greatest value is found in the education category, with $12
million, followed by health care, with $9 million. A significant portion of the
total value could be adversely affected-in minor storms ($12 million or nearly
50% in category 1 storms). The greatest building value total is found in the
most susceptible areas. Nearly half the total value is located in the most
vulnerable area (zone 1), while less than 7% of total value is found outside
hurricane-vulnerable areas. Since the majority of structures (and consequently
value) are found in the most vulnerable areas, potential damage could be substantial.

1 O0

To determine potential damage, percentages of damage have been applied to the
various types of structures and land uses. Total damage potential from wind
and water is given in the following table. It'should be noted that the dollar
amount of damage for each category is the maximum amount of damage that could
occur in a hurricane of the respective category's strength. For example, in a
relatively minor hurricane (category 1), damage to wastewater facilities could
total $18,000, although damage could conceivably be less (since the damage is
based on a combination of possible storm tracks and the greatest amount of flood-
ing for each case was used).

Total potential damage for public facility buildings for Collier County is found
in Table 64, for storms of varying intensity.

Tab-le 64 illustrates that potential damage to public facilities due to a hurricane
could be substantial, possibly ranging from $1.2 million in minor storms, to $10
million in major hurricanes. The greatest dollar loss would occur to facilities
in the health care sector, although damage would also be sizeable for education
facilities.

GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES

An evaluation of public facilities for Glades and Hendry Counties indicates that,
due to the counties' small size and rural nature, facilities are limited. An
inventory of public facilities for each county is found below.

Since both counties are outside the SLOSH grid and thus would not be affected
by saltwater flooding, no flooding damages have been estimated. Wind damage,
however, could be substantial to some of these facilities, and freshwater flooding
could also create problemnsT- Wind damage by land use type has been estimated in
the previous chapter. Wind damages for public facilities (correlated to land use
category) in Glades County are given in the following table. Wind categories are
based upon increasing wind speed, as described by the Saffir-Simpson scale (See
Appendix B).

totally exclusive, thus, damage estimates may be slightly overstated. It should
also be noted that schools and hospitals are found under two different land use
categories (government and institutional).

Wind damages vary, depending upon wind speed. Damages to buildings in the
above service categories are relatively minor in small storms, but can increase
to $2.7 million in major hurricanes. Government buildings would be most
I ~detrimentally affected, with damage that could potentially amount to over $1.4
million. Other facilities, such as power substations, water and sewer plants,
and transportation facilities could also be adversely impacted by hurricane
I ~force winds.

In Hendry County, which is also outside the SLOSH grid and would not be affected
by saltwater flooding, there are approximately 50 public facilities. Wind

Dam~age to public services varies, with increasing wind speed. Potential damage
could range from $120,000 in minor hurricanes to $9.6 million in major storms. The
facilities most impacted in terms of monetary damage to buildings would be
government facilities, including schools and county buildings. Damages to these
buildings could conceivably- total over $6 million in a major storm. Other
categories would not be nearly as detrimentally impacted. Transportation
facilities would be somewhat damaged, although damage to schools, hospitals elec-

trical substations, sewer and water facilities would be relatively small.

ICategories are not mutually exclusive. For example, the commercial land use
category would include transportation facilities, such as airports, bus stations,
etc. This specific category also contains damage to businesses. In addition, the
government sector includes both schools and county or city-owned land, so the
I ~~total wind damage would not be exclusively to educational facilities.

LEE COUNTY

Since a hurricane could possibly have a devastating effect upon public facilities
(not only directly, in terms of structural damage, but indirectly in terms of
loss of service, loss of employment, productivity and social disruption), an
analysis of major types of public facilities was made, including vulnerability
to hurricanes, total structural value, and projected damage. Table68 identifies
each type of land use by its respective location in vulnerability zones (1-5).

From this table, it can be seen that the vast majority of publice services are
located in the areas that are most vulnerable to hurricanes. One hundred
sixty-eight services (nearly half the total) are found in the zone 1 coastal
area, in comparison to 6 in the inland category 5 area. Three-fourths of the
total is found in either zone I or 2, the most susceptible areas.

The most vulnerable type of service would be the wastewater treatment category,
which includes sewage treatment plants (small package plants and centralized
collection systems). In this case- approximately 109 facilities are located in
the most vulnerable area (58% of the total). Other categories that would also
be detrimentally affected by their location include the water category (water
treatment plants), and electrical facilities (power plants, substations, and
switching stations). The transportation and health care facilities are primarily
located in less vulnerable categories, so they would be less prone to damage.
However, they are still found mostly in zones 1 and 2, and damage could still
be substantial.

104

To determine potential storm damage to buildings, total structure values must
be known. These values are provided in the following table. Totals are pro-
vided for each land use, and values are also allocated to vulnerability zones
(1-5).

Building value for public service facilities for Lee County totals over $117
million. This is a substantial amount, especially since so much of it could be
affected by a storm. The greatest building value is in the health care sector,
with $53 million, followed by schools, with $50 million. Other sectors are less
important in terms of building value. The third most important category is
electricity, with nearly $10 million in value. Less important are wastewater,
water, and transportation.

Again, examination of this table shows that the majority of structures (in terms
of 'value).are located in the most vulnerable areas. Buildings located in the
area that can be affected by a category 1 storm are worth nearly $33 million, or
28% of the total building value for public facilities. Building value generally
decreases in the remaining areas, to $4 million in the category 5 area. It
should be noted that buildings valued at $11 million (or 10% of total value)
are located outside the vulnerable areas.

Wind and water (flooding) damages have been estimated for the previously defined
public facilities. Damage estimates were based upon the methodology described
in Chapter 2 . Wind damages were relatively small in comparison to flooding
damages. Both wind and water damage were combined to arrive at total losses due
to hurricanes of varying intensity, as seen in the subsequent table.

This table indicates that total damage to public facility structures due to a
hurricane could be quite substantial. Damages could range from $3.5 million in
a minor storm, to over $46 million in a major hurricane. The most damage would
occur to the health care sector, in all storms except category 5, where schools
would sustain more damage. Significant damages would also occur to electrical
facilities, although educational and health care facilities would account for the
greatest damage by far. The total damage includes only direct loss to structures,
and does not include any capital replacement costs, or indirect costs such as
employment loss or loss of output.

SARASOTA COUNTY

Since damage to public facilities due to a hurricane or other natural disaster
can have extremely serious consequences and adverse effects upon the provision
of necessary public services, an examination of the types and numbers of these
community services is necessary to assess potential impacts. An inventory of
public facilities has been provided in the following table. The facilities have
been located by storm vulnerability area (1-5).

In Sarasota County, there are 209 public facilities in the above categories. The
majority of facilities are related to the provision of water and wastewater treat-
ment. These two categories together account for 60% of the total. Most of the
facilities are located in areas of the county that are not the most susceptible
to hurricane effects. For example, only 15% of the total is located in the most
vulnerable areas (zones 1 and 2), while the greatest number of facilities (57% or
27%) are found outside all hurricane-prone zones and thus would not be affected
by hurricane flooding.

Damage to public service facilities has been estimated for Sarasota County. Damage
to structures is based upon the percentage loss method previously described, which
assesses specific damage percentages against the total value of structures. Total
building value for each type of land use is found in the following table.

In Sarasota County, building value for public facilities amounts to over $204
million. The sector accounting for the greatest value is health care (with
$117 million or 57% of the total), followed by schools, with $69 million, of
over one-third the total. Other sectors are relatively less important in terms
of building values, together accounting for less than 9% of the total.

When the value of buildings is determined for each vulnerability zone, it is
evident that the majority of value is found in the most vulnerable area (zone 1).
This means that the value of buildings that could be affected by minor hurricanes
amounts to $89 million (although the actual damage amount would be much less).
Only a relatively small amount ($16 million or less than 19%) is found outside
the hurricane-vulnerable areas (outside 5).

Once the building values are determined, potential storm damage can be estimated.
It should be noted that these amounts are potential damage, and actual amounts
could be less. Loss of value has been estimated in the table below.

Damage totals are variable, depending upon the strength of the hurricane. Damages
could total over $9 million in minor types of storms, and up to $89 million in
extreme hurricanes. Health care facilities would receive the most loss in structure
value in all cases, accounting for 56% of the total loss ( $50 million) in
major storms. Another important sector where losses would be substantial is
schools.

REGIONAL SUMMARY

In Southwest Florida, there are 925 public service facilities. The majority,
as expected, are found in the larger counties (Lee and Sarasota), while facilities
in the rural inland counties are. limited. The wastewater category, which includes

108

package plants and other treatment facilities, accounts for the greatest
number of facilities (half the total). Water treatment facilities are also
important. The fewest facilities are those related to transportation. A
* ~summary of the number of facilities for each county is found in Table.

It is obvious from examination of the above table that potential storm damage
I ~is very significant in Southwest Florida. Total damage could range from $16
million in minimal hurricanes to $184 million in major hurricanes. Damage to
I ~facilities 'providing health care would be most severe, while other facilities
sustaining significant damage would include schools.

The greatest damage could occur in the most populous counties, especially in
Sarasota County, where damage approximates half the total damage in the Region.
Potential damage in Lee County is also significant. It should also be noted that
these damage figures are primarily based upon appraised values, and replacement
I ~costs could be significantly greater.

-CONCLUS ION
I ~This chapter has examined the losses to public facilities that could occur as the
result of hurricanes. Losses for public facilities could range from $16 million
in minor types of hurricanes to $184 million in major storms. As a percentage of
total building value, however, public facilities account for only a minor portion.
In addition to the direct impact of hurricanes on public facility structures,
there are other indirect losses that are less easily quantified. For example,
I ~not only would buildings be damaged, but contents of buildings (inventories, etc.)
could be destroyed. More importantly, loss of service (such as disruption of
sewer service, water, electricity, etc.) is difficult to place a dollar value on
I ~but has a great social impact. Another indirect impact is possible loss of
employment due to curtailment of services or closing of facilities. Indirect
impacts will be examined in a subsequent chapter.

ECONOMIC IMPACTS ON AGRICULTURE

Agriculture is an important industry in Southwest Florida, contributing directly
to the economy in terms of income and employment, as well as indirectly, through
I support industries and related manufacturing. A hurricane could have disastrous
impacts upon agriculture such as destruction of crops. The purpose of this
chapter is to evaluate the impact of potential hurricane flooding upon the Region's
I agricultural yield.

The primary impacts of hurricanes on agriculture could result from saltwater
Nflooding. (This impact is explained in detail in the SWFRPC Regional Hurricane
Evacuation Plan.) This type of flooding would affect the four coastal counties
(Charlotte, Collier, Lee and Sarasota), while the two inland counties (Glades and
I Hendry) could be subject to wind damage and possible freshwater flooding. Although
these two types of damage are much less severe than saltwater flooding, impacts
will be discussed for all counties, with emphasis on the four coastal counties.

The chapter is organized in the following manner. First, the value and importance
Iof agriculture to the local economies will be explained. This will include an
analysis of different types of agriculture.

3Second, the soils capable of supporting significant agricultural activity will
be depicted and discussed. This will include areas that may currently be vacant,
but because of soil suitability, may be utilized for agricultural activity in
the future. This type of analysis is necessary because expanding urban areas are
infringing upon lands currently used for agriculture; future agricultural areas
may include those lands that are presently vacant.

IThird, suitable agricultural soils that are subject to hurricane inundation will
be depicted on maps by soil type and by storm categories 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. These
Icategories or vulnerability zones will reflect all areas that may be flooded by
storms in any specific category.1

Based upon the percentage of agriculturally suitable soils inundated by a given
storm category, the final step will provide estimates of short and long term
agricultural loss for each storm category in each coastal county. Particular
emphasis will be given to fruit crops, which are especially important in the
3State of Florida, and are vulnerable to severe damage from hurricanes.

EAGRICULTU RE AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE REGION'S ECONOMY

Agriculture is an important component of the Region's economy. In 1978, the
Iyear of the most recent agricultural census, such activity contributed $108,298,000
to the economies of Charlotte, Collier, Glades, and Hendry counties; $91,549,000,
or 84.5% of this amount, is from crop sales with the remainder from livestock
production, primarily cattle. Relevant information is presented by county, on the
I ~following page.
Each zone reflects the maximum possible flooding for a number of storms of
a given intensity, and is not the result of any one particular storm.

The value of products sold within these four counties accounted for 3.6% of the
State's total in 1978, and 3.5% of cash receipts in 1979.

The importance of the different types of crops varies among the four coastal
counties. Using the basic categories of Vegetables, Fruits and Nursery products,
statistics indicate that vegetable crops are the most important crop (in terms
of value) for three of the counties, while fruit crops are the most important
category for one. This is depicted below in Table 78.

This agricultural activity in 1978 was supported by 1,019 farms within the four
counties, containing 808,603 acres, or 31% of the total area in the four counties.
The average farm value, including land, structure and improvements, ranged from
$564,580 in Lee County to $978,818 in Collier County, as noted in the subsequent
table.

113

Cropland, although the most economically important agricultural use, occupied
the least farmland acreage, 15.1%. Woodland was the next most intensive, using
only 23% of total farmland, with pasturage and rangeland (the least intensive)
utilizing the greatest amount of land (.62% of the total). Pertinent farm-and
farmland statistics are reflected in Table 79below.

SOIL AND SOIL CATEGORIES

Soil type is directly related to the kind of activity that an area can support.
Some types of soils are capable of supporting agricultural activity, while others
are not. Certain soils are more suitable for specific agricultural activities.
This chapter will address those soils capable of supporting intensive and
relatively high yield agricultural activity, such as cropland. Soils that are
suitable for supporting improved rangeland or unimproved pasturage are not as
important due to their relatively low productive value. Soils which are
unsuitable for agricultural activity will not be evaluated.

As seen in Table 80, most of the area's soils are highly suitable for improved
pasturage, while virtually no area has a similar suitability for citrus crops.
Using the categories contained in the Florida Gedneral Soils Atlas, the suit-
ability of soils for agricultural activity varies among counties, ranging from
least suitable in Collier County where only 41% of soils are suitable for aqricul-
ture to the highest suitability in Sarasota County (where 83.5% of soils could be
used for agriculture). Soil categories are defined in the Appendix, and generalized
soils are depicted on Maps 14-17. These maps indicate generalized areas that have
some potential for agricultural use, according to their soil characteristics.1
Since some of these areas are already urbanized, acreage for urban areas will be
excluded when calculating land use and potential damages.

! For example, in Lee County, only five types of soils (category #'s 2,3,4,5 an-d 7)
are suitable to some degree for agricultural use. These are not the same as
prime agricultural soils.

SOILS SUB~JECT TO INUNDATION
I The soils depicted in Maps 14-17 are subject to inundation by different types of
storms. Using the storm categories 1-5 provided by the National Hurricane Center,
the Council has previously prepared hypothetical inundation lines for its South-
I west Florida Hurricane Evacuation Plan. These lines, overlaid on the soils maps
(See Maps 14-17), depict the maximum amount of soils suitable for agricultural
activity, that would be inundated by saltwater flooding in different storms.
* Analysis of the maps indicates that the vast majority of agricultural soils it
located within the hypothetical flood lines; thus, these areas are sub-ject to
potential hurricane flooding and damage. The amount of land suitable for agri-
I.cultural use in the four county area totals 1,989 square miles; of these, approxi-
mately 1,602 square miles are either subject to inundation or have already been
used for urban purposes (See Table 81). The greatest percentage of these soils
occurs in Lee County, with 82.2% either urban or subject to flooding; the lowest
Din Sarasota, with 55.9%.
Excluding soils already used for urban purposes, approximately 53.7% of the
soils'-uitable for agriculture are subject to inundation. The percentage of
N inundation ranged from a low of 39.3% in Sarasota to a high of 75.4% in Lee
County. Table8l depicts the amount and percentage of agricultural soils subject
to hurricane-induced salt'water flooding. To determine the amount of soils with
agricultural potential, as well as the amount of soils subject to flooding,
acreages were measured with a compensating polar planimeter.

POTENTIAL AGRICULTURAL LOSS

Inundation of agricultural areas due to hurricane flooding causes both short and
long term impacts, which vary according to the type of agricultural activity.
For purposes of this analysis, there are three primary types of agriculture:
livestock, annual crops, and tree crops (primarily citrus). Nursery products
will be defined as an "annual" crop, although a substantial portion of nursery
business involves perennial plants.

Livestock

Marketed livestock value in the four coastal counties was $16,748,000 in 1978
(See Table 77). Total livestock value (including livestock kept and not marketed)
is not provided but may be estimated from livestock summaries. Such summaries
indicate that cattle, the primary livestock in Southwest Florida and the only
one with consistent statistics, are marketed at an average of 42% of the herd
each year. Assuming that, overall, only 42%1 of the total livestock value is
reflected by marketing value, total livestock value in the four counties would
amount to $39,876,190.2
The damage that hurricane-induced flooding could cause would be twofold--loss
of-l-i-estock by_-drown-ing-and-the loss of pasture. The loss of livestock would
take approximately three years to replace (reflecting the maturation of a new
generation), whereas pasturage should be restored after one good growing season,
or approximately one year. It will be assumed for the purpose of this study that
in the event of a hurricane, livestock will be removed from flood hazard areas
(.either transported to safer areas or moved to higher ground), thus, only live-
stock loss due to flooding of pasture land will be considered.

Total value of livestock in the four coastal counties is estimated in this
report to be- $39,-8765190 (in 1978 dollars). Assuming all livestock production
occurs on soils with a high potential for improved pasture, and assuming that all-
production within each county is equal for each soil type, (and that all land
suitable for agriculture would be used for that purpose) it is possible to estimate
the degree of potential livestock loss, based upon the percentage of suitable soils
for each zone in relation to total potential pastureland in the county. (Since
livestock production is a transitional use of land, the recognition of any specific
location as a high producer of livestock would be of limited value.) The potential
livestock loss is estimated in Table 82.

Summary".

Examination of the previous table indicates that loss of livestock (due to flooding
of pastureland) could amount to nearly $1.6 million in minor storms (category 1),
and could total over $19.7 million in major hurricanes, based upon total value.

Cropland

Cropland is one agricultural activity that has been particularly affected by en-
croaching urbanization. Traditional areas used for intensive crops along the coast
have-been displaced by rapidly increasing residential and commercial land uses.
As a result, areas further inland have been developed for cropland while most of
the coastal cropland has been lost. This process has somewhat diminished the
effect upon cropland from lesser force hurricanes. Assuming the urbanization
process continues, additional cropland (especially in coastal areas) will be lost
to competing land uses, thus further reducing potential saltwater flooding impacts
upon cropland.

It has been estimated that croplanq flooded by saltwater will be relatively
purified by one good rainy season. Consequently, any crop reduction experienced
by hurricane losses may, to a large extent, be restored within one and one-half
years. Some nursery activity, however, may take longer to restore.

123

For the purposes of this analysis, soils rated as either highly or moderately
suitable for truck crops will be deemed as supporting all crop activity in the
area. Grove land will be excluded, since it will be examined separately.

Marketed crops, including nursery products, contributed $73,972,000 to the
economy of the area in 1978. The crop value in areas subject to inundation
amounts to $42,637,000, or 57.6% of the total. The greatest amount subject to
inundation is in Lee County with $23,820,000; the least in Sarasota County,
with $1,435,000. The degree of vulnerability and potential loss are indicated
below in Table 83.

*Excluding groves

The preceding table indicates that, in minor types of storms, damage to crops
could amount to $5 million; in major hurricanes, however, damages could exceed
$42 million, or 57% of total crop value. It should be noted that the loss poten-
tial is based upon the percentage of suitable cropland in each vulnerability zone.1

Groves

Damage to groves by floodwaters may have the greatest long term impact upon the
area's agriculture. It has been estimated that a sustained period (8 hours) of
saltwater inundation can result in the death of citrus trees, the predominant
form of grove activity in the area.2 After the soils are flushed by the following
rainy season, it will take approximately seven years in order for replanted groves
tp begin to bear fruit.

1 To determine losses for each hurricane zone the percentage of agriculturally-
suitable soils for each zone (in parentheses in Table 83) is multiplied by the
total estimated crop value for each county. For example, to calculate potential
losses for zone 1 in Charlotte County, the percentage of suitable soils (7.4%)
2 is multiplied by total value of $4,373,000 to arrive at $324,000 total loss.

It is fortunate that most of the area's groves are outside of areas subject to
inundation. Charlotte County's groves are the most vulnerable; 42.3% are within
a flood zone. Sarasota's groves are the least exposed, with only 8.4% in suscep-
tible areas. The following table illustrates the amount of grove land subject
to flooding.

The acreage was determined from 1979-1980 REDI-book aerial photographs for the
coastal counties. Acreages were measured with a compensating polar planimeter,
utilizing the region's land use inventory as the basis for determining grove
acreage.,

Table 84 illustrates areas subject to flooding as a result of various strengths of
hurricanes. For example, in Lee County there are 6,911 acres of groves, but only
a relatively small percentage of this total is vulnerable to flooding. In very
minor storms, approximately 352 acres could be affected, while a major storm could
impact 1,287 acres, or 18% of total grove land.

It is possible to estimate the value of the exposed groves, by using the number of
acres inundated as a measure of the percentage of market value of fruit crops lost,
and a multiplier of 7 to reflect the number of years it would take to restore grove
land to its previous level of productivity. For example, in a minor hurricane,
approximately $2 million of crops could be lost, whereas in major storms, the value
of lost crops could total $28.7 million (over a'7 year period). This $28 million

125

accounts for approximately 23% of the total market value of grove production.
This value is greatest in Charlotte County at $15,610,000, and least in Sarasota,
at $602,000. The value of the groves by zone is estimated in Table 85 below.

It should be noted that mature groves (considerably older than seven years) bear
more fruit than younger grovesl; consequently, it may take more than seven years
to return areas to previous levels of productivity.

SUMMARY OF AGRICULTURAL LOSS IN COASTAL COUNTIES

Substantial portions of the area's agricultural lands are located in areas that are
vulnerable to hurricane flooding. Approximately 53.7% of the area's soils suitable
for agriculture are located within these zones. Within these zones lie approximately
49.6% of the area's livestock, 57.6% of the are~'s crops, and 24.1% of the area's
roves. Since most of the agricultural activity is found in less susceptible zones
I over 43% is located in the category 3 area, and significant amounts are also found
in zones 4 and 5), however, the probability of massive flooding is low. In fact,
over half the livestock areas and three-fourths of the Region's groves are located
outside all vulnerable areas, and they would not be exposed to saltwater flooding
(although wind and freshwater flooding damage could occur). The percentage of
major types of agricultural activity for each zone is depicted on Table 85 on the
following page.

The previous table indicates the combined dollar losses to agricultural in each
vulnerability zone. For instance, in minor storms damage to agriculture (live-
stock, crops and groves) could amount to $8,8 million. The amount of potential
damage increases by zone, and potential dollar losses could amount to $91 million
in major hurricanes (the combined total for all zones). Crops losses would be
most significant, totaling $42 million or 47% of the total, followed by grove
damage ($28 million) and livestock loss ($19 million).1

AGRICULTURE AND PROJECTED LOSS IN THE INLAND COUNTIES
Agriculture is the predominant form of economic activity in the two inland
counties of Glades and Hendry. The appraised value of agricultural land alone
totaled $314 million in Glades County and $660 million in Hendry County.2 As the
dominant land use category, agricultural land accounted for 78% of the total value
of property in Glades County, and 68% of the total in Hendry County. Other per-
tinent characteristics are found in the subsequent table.

Potential Agricultural Loss

Glades and Hendry Counties are located inland, away from the damaging effects
of saltwater produced by hurricanes. Despite this, these counties are still
subject to potential freshwater flooding and wind damage. Freshwater flooding
could occur from prolonged rainfall (which may or may not be due to a hurricane)
while riverine flooding could occur if rainfall amounts were great enough to
cause rivers to overflow their banks. A third type of flooding could occur
if Lake Okeechobee (which is adjacent to both Glades and Hendry Counties and
their two major cities)were to overflow. Although this happened once (during
the hurricane of 1926), it is possible but extremely unlikely since a dike has
been built around the Lake to prevent future occurrences. Wind damage is also
possible in the inland counties, and could be great if a major hurricane were
to pass directly over these two counties.

In order to assess potential agricultural damage, a methodology is necessary
with which to oorrelate the percentage of damage with other factors, such as
wind speed, or height or length of time of freshwater flooding. Unfortunately,
no such methodology currently exists. It is possible, however, to make some
generalizations about agricultural damage. For example, according to county
agricultural extension agents,1 wind damage could be severe when winds exceed
100 miles per hour.

Wind damage would be especially detrimental to citrus, and could cause trees
to be uprooted due to their shallow root systems. Once trees are uprooted, it
is at least 5 years before they begin to bear fruit, and 11 years until maturity;

Lee and Hendry Counties.

consequently, such damage is long-lasting. Other crops that could also
be affected include sugarcane, which could be sandblasted and flattened
by high winds.1 These grassy-type crops, however, would generally be less
adversely affected by winds than would citrus.2 Wind damage would also depend
on the type of storm (its intensity and storm track).

Flood damage is also possible. Although saltwater flooding is more damaging,
major damage could occur to crops as a result of sustained freshwater flooding.
If water is left standing for a period of 72 hours, damage could be devastating
as the result of root damage, which occurs due to lack of oxygen (the air is
taken out of the soil). Since hurricane waters generally recede within twelve
to twenty hours, sustained flooding would probably not occur except in areas of
poor drainage or where rainfall had preceded a hurricane and caused pre-hurricane
flooding.

Some flooding damage to livestock is possible but unlikely. Drowning is possible,
although cattle tend to seek higher ground (hammocks,etc). Although saltwater
flooding can kill pastureland, freshwater flooding would probably not be damag-
ing because grass is more resilient that other types of crops.

Since a methodology does not exist to correlate the percentaqe of damaae to
either wind speed or flooding levels, only one estimate of total potential
damage has been calculated. This estimate is based upon total value of crops
and groves. It~will be assumed that livestock damage will be negligible,3
since freshwater flooding would not damage pastureland as saltwater would.

The following table depicts the value of agricultural products in the inland
counties.

Hurricane Iwa, with winds reaching 110 mph which hit Hawaii in November, 1982,
damaged the sugarcane crop in this manner.
2 According to Doug Ross, Hendry County Extension Service.
3 Livestock is an important product in both counties with a value of $14,971,000
in Glades County, and $21,111,000 in Hendry County.

129

The value of crops was used to determine total potential damage. The market
value for "vegetables" and "other" was used, while the value,-of citrus (fruits)
was multiplied by seven (as in the other counties) to estimate total damage, since
it has been assumed that destruction of citrus trees would have a long-term
impact. For the other crops, it was assumed that only that year's crops would
be destroyed. Total estimated damages are provided in Table 89.

I ~Based upon the previous table, crop damage could be severe, totaling $279
million in the inland counties. Damage in Hendry County would be especially
great, due to its large citrus production. It should be noted, however, that
this damage would occur only in severe storms, with winds exceeding 100 mph
and sustained flooding (lasting for 72 hours).
* ~Summary
Since Glades and Hendry Counties are agriculturally-oriented, any damage to
crops could have a major impact on the economy of these two counties. It has
I ~been estimated that damage to crops and citrus could amount to $279 million,
an amount greater than that of the coastal counties combined (although this
amount of damage would only occur in a severe storm). This amount of damage
would have a very detrimental effect on both counties, especially when considering
their small size and limited resource base.

I ~~ECONOMIC EFFECTS UPON EMPLOYMENT
The previous chapters analyzed the potential structural damage caused by
hurricanes. This chapter will examine the impacts of hurricanes upon the area's
economy and employment, focusing on temporary employment loss resulting from
hurricanes of varying intensity. Employment loss (the number of employees out
I ~of work and lost income) will-'be identified for each major type of land use
and each category of hurricane. The impact of this potential loss upon the
economic development of the Region will also be examined.

METHODOLOGY
* ~In order to define and quantify potential short-term employment losses due to
various types of hurricanes, "short-term" must be defined, and the types of
employment that will be affected must be clarified.
I ~In defining short-term impacts, a survey of existing literature was made.
Although several studies have been done addressing the long-term impacts of
hurricanes and other natural disasters, very little information is available
I ~concerning short-term impacts. The studies that have been done are primarily
case studies of various types of natural disasters, including hurricanes,
earthquakes arnd floods. These- studies have shown that short-term impacts can
persist for a period as short as two months to a period exceeding 8 years.,
Each case is unique; however, in the cases examined, short-term impacts generally
persisted for one year or less, so a one year period will be used as the maximum
impact period.2 The short-term period is defined as both the immediate post-
disaster recovery period as well as the time during which reconstruction takes
place to return the area to its predisaster condition.3

* ~Employment losses have been estimated for hurricanes of differing strengths,
ranging from minor storms to major hurricanes. Five groups of storms have been
used, as defined previously, ranging from Category I (minimal), to Category 5
(major storms). Within each grouping, a variety of storms have been plotted,
using different combinations of storm directions, expected landfalls and wind
speeds. The worst case storm (maximum amount of flooding for each plotted point)
was'used for each category. Thus, it is improbable that any single storm would
do the projected amount of damage and employment loss.
I ~To determine short-term losses, first the types of employment that would primarily
be affected by hurricanes were identified, then, the number of employees in each
affected category was ascertained. From this, employment losses were estimated.
It should be noted here that not all types of employment would be similarly
I ~affected by hurricanes. For example, construction employment may be temporarily
Idames D. Wright et al., After the Clean-Up, 1979, p. 44 (See Bibliography
2for books containing case studies).
~~I n severe cases, it may take longer to fully recover from a natural disaster but
most employment and other effects dissipate within one year (After the Clean-Up,
3p. 46, and 'Aftermath, pp. 41, 125).
~~I n some cases, the area never returned to its predisaster condition, although
these cases were few.

I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 131

reduced or eliminated after a natural disaster, but it quickly rebounds as
rebuilding commences, and may even increase to a level greater than before the
disaster.'1 Some persons displaced from other sectors might even find temporary
I ~jobs in this field. Another assumption used in this study is that most govern-
ment jobs would not be lost (excluding Education). Even though services might
be temporarily disrupted due to building damage, employees would probably be
located to other buildings to continue necessary business.

For the purpose of this study, the types of employment that would be impacted
by hurricanes include commercial employment (wholesale and retail trade, services
* ~and finance/ insurance/real estate); industrial (manufacturing); transportation,
communication and public utilities; and education (government).

I ~It might be expected that services and trade would be most detrimentally affected,
since they account for over 42% of total employment in the'Region. To determine
short-term losses, employment losses were estimated for the affected sectors,
for various types of storms, ranging from small to severe (category 1-5).
I ~Employment loss was estimated as a percentage of damage to building value, since
employment is related to both building size and assessed value (building value).
The dollar damage was divided by the total assessed building value for each job
I ~category, to determine a ratio of loss. Then, the resulting percentage was applied
to total employment for each major type of job to project the number of jobs that
would be temporarily lost in different types of hurricanes. Finally, average wages
for each type of job were used to determine actual dollar value of lost employment,
depending upon the severity of the hurricane and length of time persons would be
unemployed.

~~I~t should be noted here- that employment loss was only estimated for the four
coastal counties, which would be subject to the greatest damage (saltwater
I ~flooding). In the inland counties of Glades and Hendry, which are subject to wind
damage, employment loss would be very minor. However, agricultural damage could
occur due to extensive freshwater flooding and this could affect employment if
crops were destroyed. Agricultural workers, especially migrant and seasonal farm
workers, could be adversely affected, but it would be impossible to determine
actual numbers in this case. (See chapter on agriculture for estimation of agri-'
cultural damages).

I ~GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE REGION'S ECONOMY

A general description of the Region's economy is necessary to provide an under-
I ~standing of the area and how hurricanes could affect its economy. Pertinent
characteristics of the Southwest Florida economy will be discussed briefly in the
I ~following section.

The economy of Southwest Florida is unique. Historically, the area was primarily
rural and oriented to agricultural production, until the early 1960's. Since
that time, the population began to grow rapidly (primarily due to inmigration
from other areas) and the nature of the Region changed, becoming more urbanized.

'One example of this is the Topeka tornado of June 8, 1967, where the workforce
- ~permanently increased after the disaster (See Aftermath: Communities After
Natural Disasters, p.73)-.

U ~~~~~~~~~~~~132

The economic base became oriented to population growth, tourism and retirement
living. Construction became a major element of the economy, as well as services
and retail trade, which are oriented toward supplying the needs and desires of
new residents.
The unique nature of the Region is seen in its employment profile. Employment
by major sector for Southwest Florida is found below.

The-previous table verifies the service-oriented nature of the Region's economy.
Trade (wholesale and retail) is the largest sector, with over 23% of total
employment. Services (such as hotel and motel trade, etc.) accounts for 19% of
the total, while construction and government are also important. The remaining
sectors account for smaller proportions of total employment. Manufacturing, forI
example, only accounts for 5.5% of total employment, indicating that'the Region's
industrial base is not well-developed.
The previous employment figures, as well as individual county figures, have been
used to calculate employment loss resulting from possible hurricanes. Average
wages are also used, to determine dollar losses from unemployment caused by
hurricanes. Wages vary, according to job type. Income information for theI
Region's counties is provided in the following table.

Income varies among counties and by type of job. In general, average income is
greater in Collier and Lee Counties, followed by Sarasota, Hendry and Charlotte
Counties. The smallest average income is found in Glades County.

The greatest income is found in the following categories: mining, transportation/
communication/utilities, construction, and finance/insurance/real estate (in the
coastal counties). The lowest paying jobs are in the trade, government and
services sectors. The trade and services sectors employ the most people, but
since they pay relatively low wages, the potential dollar loss from hurricanes
may be somewhat mitigated. Similarly, the sectors with the highest wages employ
the fewest people, so the possible impacts would also be lessened.

The following sections will provide an estimate of temporary employment loss for
each county, as well as the value of jobs lost to the economy from various hurri-
canes.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY

Employment in Charlotte County is based primarily upon retirement living. Major
employment categories that would be impacted by hurricanes are provided in the
table below.1
'Employment figures used in the study are 1980 figures.

The number of emptbyees whose jobs would be affected in a hurricane varies,
depending upon the magnitude of the storm and the type of job. An estimate of
the potential number of jobs that could be temporarily lost (due to businesses
closing, building destruction, etc.) is given in the following table, for
different types of storms, ranging from minor (category 1) to major (category 5).

It can be seen that more jobs would be lost in major types of storms, while
relatively few would be affected by minor storms. Loss could amount to 4,038
jobs in extreme storms. To determine the value of these jobs to the county's
economy, the average annual income is multiplied by the length of time each
person is unemployed. Since the length of time may vary, several estimates have

135

been prepared. Estimates are based upon average income, as found below.

The following tables show the amount of money lost to the county's economy
due to hurricane-related unemployment, for various types of hurricanes and
various periods of unemployment. Several time estimates have been utilized,
since each case is unique, (case studies have shown a variety of time periods
for short term impacts), and since the time period can also be affected by
factors outside the disaster area (such as outside aid, disaster assistance,
etc).

To determine the amount of employment that would be affected by a hurricane,
the following methodology was used. First, total building value and total
building damage for each sector was determined. The percentage of damage to
building value was then established. This same percentage was applied against
the total employment figures to determine expected employment loss. Five groups
of hurricanes were used, ranging in intensity from minor to extreme. Estimated
employment loss is provided in the table below.

Source: SWFRPC

The above table illustrates projected employment loss. For example, in a minor
storm (category 1), 958 jobs in commercial establishments could be lost as the
result of a hurricane. This figure was determined by taking the building damage
as a percent of total value, and multiplying the resultant percent (5.1%) by
total commercial employment of 18,934.

As would be expected, employment loss increases with the magnitude of the storm.
Total jobs lost could number 1,061 in minor storms, but could rise to nearly
10,000 in major hurricanes. (This still accounts for a relatively small pro-
portion of total jobs, and only 41% of commercial, industrial, transportation/
communication/utilities and education jobs).

The commercial sector, which primarily includes trade and services, would be
most adversely affected in hurricanes. It is estimated that commercial jobs
lost could account for 87% of total jobs in a storm of medium intensity (cate-
gory 3).

Industrial jobs would account for the least amount lost (up to 401 or 4% of the
total in major hurricanes). Education and transportation/communication/utilities
together account for less than 14% of jobs lost in major hurricanes.

139

Once the employment loss has been estimated, lost income must be evaluated.
Income loss has been projected for each group of hurricanes. Four time estimates
have been utilized. Lost wages have been projected for a one-week, one-month,
six months and a one-year period, since the specific length of time people
would be out of work is variable. Dollar loss estimates are included in Tables
102-105. Average annual wages for each pertinent sector are given below.

An examination of this table shows that annual wages lost as a result of a
hurricane could amount to over $127 million in major types of storms, although
in minor storms damage would be much less.1

The employment sector that would suffer the most loss is the commercial sector
(including services, trade, and finance, insurance and real estate), where wages
lost could amount to $12 million in minor storms, or $104 million in major
hurricanes.2 The commercial sector accounts for nearly 90% of total income loss
in minor storms, and 82% of the total in major hurricanes. The education sector
accounts for the second greatest value of employment lost in minor storms, although
in major storms the transportation/communication/utilities sector would be
affected more (in dollars but not employment). Industrial employment and wages
would be least affected, accounting for up to only 4% of the total in major
hurricanes.3

the impacts of a major storm.
2Determined by taking total average annual wages for each sector, and multiplying
those wages by the number of jobs expected to be lost for each storm category.

dollar losses for each category.

142

GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES

Estimates of the value of jobs lost were not done for the Region's two smallest
counties. Since Glades and Hendry Counties are both located inland, away from
the storm surge area, they would not be affected by saltwater flooding damage
caused by hurricanes. It is possible that some freshwater flooding could occur
as the result of a hurricane (especially in the case of sustained rainfall over
a period of several days), but the amount is not known. Hurricane-force winds
could cause a sizeable amount of damage as discussed previously. Also, tornadoes
that occur in conjunction with hurricanes could have devastating impacts, but
since they are not predictable, and damage is likely to be concentrated in a
small area, they will not be considered.

Since wind damage is relatively minor compared to flood damage, it is unlikely
that wind damage to buildings would be severe enough so that persons would be
unemployed for any length of time. It is possible that some persons would be
unemployed for a few days, while buildings were being repaired and services
(electrical, telephone, etc.) restored, but the overall dollar impact on the
economy would be negligible. Since the economy of these two counties is
agriculturally-oriented, it would be expected that the worst impacts would be
upon farming activities (See chapter on agriculture).

LEE COUNTY

In Lee County, employment-is primarily oriented to trade (especially retail),
services and construction. Employment by industry' is given below for the sectors
that would be affected B5y hurricanes, as previously discussed.

A portion of this employment will be affected by hurricanes. The actual number

The table above provides the greatest degree of impact that each category storm
would have. In a minimal hurricane, for instance, employment subject to loss
could total 2,077 in the worst possible case, although it probably would be much
less' due to the fact that impacts are not the same for each storm category county-
wide. In major hurricanes, jobs subject to loss could amount to 21,551, or 42%
of the total jobs that could be affected by hurricanes. The most deleterious
impact would be upon commercial employment, where job-loss could amount
to nearly three-fourths of total employment loss.

Other types of jobs would not be as adversely affected. In small storms, the
greatest employment loss (after commercial jobs) would be in the transportation/"
communication/utilities category, while in severe storms, more education-related
jobs would be affected.

After employment loss is determined, lost income must be calculated. To assess
lost wage and salary income, average annual income for each type of job is used,
multiplied by the length of time persons are unemployed. Average annual income
is found below.

isince in a minor storm, building damage would not be severe, some businesses
could probably operate in damaged buildings and employment loss would be minimal.

Several time periods have been used to calculate income loss due to hurricane-
induced unemployment. Although the exact period of time people would be out of
work is unknown, case studies have indicated that unemployment effects often
subside within one year. Therefore, selected periods up to one year have been
used to determine wage loss.

values, for each employment sector. In minor storms, the value of lost employ-
ment could amount to$528,000, while in major hurricanes, this value could total
up to $5,390,000. Commercial wages would account for the most loss (over 70%
in all cases),while losses in other sectors would be much less, together accounting
for less than commercial loss. Losses for a one-month period are given below.

Wage loss for the one-month period could range from $2.2 million to over $23
million. Commercial employment loss could range from $1.7 million to $16.7
million, accounting for the majority of lost wages. The one-month period is a
crucial time, since it has been shown in case studies that unemployment peaks
the month following a disaster. The subsequent table indicates losses for a
six-month period.

In a six-month period, lost wages could amount to $140 million, in extreme storms,
although the dollar amount could be much less in less severe storms.

Finally, if unemployment were to continue for a year, lost wages could amount to
over $280 million (for major storm occurrences). Annual wage loss is presented

It is evident that the dollar value of lost employment could vary considerably,
dependent upon the hurricane magnitude. Total lost wages could range from $27
million to $280 million, principally due to commercial employment loss. In some
case studies, unemployment has persisted at higher than pre-disaster levels for
over two years, so this is a conservative estimate.1

SARASOTA COUNTY

Hurricane effects upon employment have been determined for Sarasota County. To
determine impacts, employment must be known for each job type that would be
affected in a hurricane, as given below.

147

Hurricane-vulnerable employment in Sarastoa County is primarily business-
related. There are nearly 59,000 jobs in sectors that could be affected, compared
to 72,525 total jobs. The number of jobs that could be lost temporarily due to
different types of hurricanes is found below.

As storms become more intense, potential job loss increases. In minor storms,
approximately 1,208 jobs could be lost, increasing to 18,770 (maximum) in major
hurricanes. Even in major storms, this loss accounts for less than one-third of
the total hurricane-vulnerable jobs, and only 25% of total county employment.

Once the number of jobs that could be lost has been calculated, the economic value
of lost income can be determined for various time periods. The annual average
income as displayed in Tablell'5, is used to derive the dollar value of lost
employment.

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA REGION

The overall impact of hurricanes upon employment in Southwest Florida has been
calculated, for different types of jobs and various kinds of hurricanes. Short-
term employment loss was determined, based upon employment for each job sector,
wages, and the number of jobs that would be affected for different groups of
hurricanes (based upon a ratio of building damage to assessed value). Employment
by sector is presented below, for each coastal county, as well as the four-
county Region.

sectors that are subject to hurricane impacts, followed closely by Lee County.
Employment in Charlotte and Collier Counties is relatively less. Employment
that could be affected by a hurricane amounts to 141,217, or approximately

It is evident upon examination of this table, that the dollar value of employ-
ment loss could be significant in the coastal counties of Southwest Florida.
Although maximum losses in small storms might amount to $61 million, in major
storms annual employment loss (in terms of lost income) could be valued at $690
million.

154

Annual income loss is greatest in Lee County for all categories of storms.
Despite the fact that Sarasota County has more employment in categories thatI
could be affected by hurricanes, employment loss (i terms of both number of
employees and lost income) is greater in Lee County. The valuation of lost
income could total up to $280 million in major storms when persons are unemployed
for a one-year period.

CONCLUSIONI
Even in the worst case hurricane, when employment loss could amount to 54,055
jobs, unemployment !still amounts to a relatively minor percentage (26%) of totalI
jobs in the four-county Region.
The dollar value of lost employment could total up to $690 million in major
storms. The greatest impact would be upon the commercial sector (not because ofI
wages but primarily because this sector accounts for the greatest number of jobs)
in all counties.3

Lee County would be the most detrimentally affected by employment loss and lost
wages in most cases.1 Although Sarasota County has the greatest number of
employees, many of its buildings are located in areas that would be less
susceptible to hurricane damage, so employment loss would be less severe.
EFFECT ON REGIONAL ECONOMY3

In addition to the actual dollars lost to the economy as a result of hurricane-
induced unemployment, there would also be a greater indirect (ripple or multiplier)
effect upon the overall economy. For example, not only would a certain amountI
of income be directly lost to the economy due to unemploymentbut unemployed
consme. Ifless goods and services are purchased, then fewer jobs in other
sectors would be needed, and unemployment could affect other sectors that
previously had not been impacted. Therefore, the dollar impact is greater than
the amount quantified here, but since these indirect impacts are very difficult
to quantify, they will not be estimated.
The next chapter will summarize the total impacts of hurricanes upon the Region,
in terms of both building damage and potential employment loss.

lWhen generaliziig- by storm categories, this is true, but some specific stormsI
might have a greater impact upon Sarasota County's employment.
2T7his assumption discounts any unemployment payments that might be made to

affected persons, or other forms of disaster assistance.

ITOTAL HURRICANE LOSS
This chapter will evaluate the total potential loss from hurricanes in Southwest
Florida, estimated for various intensities of storms. Total losses include pro-
perty loss (damage to buildings), service loss (damage to public facilities),
employment loss (lost income), and agricultural loss.

PROPERTY LOSS

Property loss has been defined for the purposes of this study as building damage.
Damage to contents or accessory uses (cars, boats, etc.) was not estimated due to
inadequate data and methodologies to assess these types of damages. Total esci-
mated building damage is based upon building value, which is provided below.

Building value amounts to nearly $12 billion in Southwest Florida. Value is
greatest in Sarasota County, with $4.4 billion or 37% of the total, while Lee
County also accounts for a significant portion (.$3.6 billion).

The greatest portion of total value is located in the most vulnerable hurricane
zone (zone 1), while value gradually decreases in the less susceptible zones.
Building value was used to project wind and water damage to structures from
hurricanes, for different strengths of storms. Estimates are provided in the

Projected damage is greatest in Sarasota County, where it could range from
I ~$164 million to $1.3 billion. Damage is nearly as severe in Lee County
where it could range from $112 million to $960 million. In other counties,
damage is less, due to the smaller size of the counties. Damage amounts
for Collier County are very close to the amounts for Lee County (and
even exceed them in category 2) due to the low relief of the county and
its flood-prone nature.
I ~Building damage can amount to nearly one-third of total building value in the
Region (in a major storm). Percentages vary among counties. In Glades and
Hendry Counties for example, damage represents only 8% of total building value
in major storms, since only wind damage has been considered. In Lee and
Sarasota Counties, damage ranges from.3% of building value in minor storms to
26% for Lee County and 31% for Sarasota County in major hurricanes. The worst
percentage damage ratio is found in Collier County, where total damage in
major storms amounts to over 40% of building value for the county.

LOSS TO PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES

I ~This loss is defined as damage to public facilities providing necessary
community services such as water, wastewater treatment, electricity, trans-
portation, health care and schools. Most of these services are required to
maintain the public health, safety and welfare, although some, such as schools
and health, are secondary support services.
Damage to facilities providing these services has been estimated in a previous
I ~chapter. This damage totaled in excess of $184 million (in category 5), but
since these amounts have already been included in total building damages in the
previous section, they will not be addressed here separately.

I ~~~~~~~~~~~~157

EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME LOSS

The value of temporary employment loss has been calculated for various storms.
Lost income depends upon the type of storm and the length of time persons are
out of work. For this analysis, a time period of one year will be utilized
to calculate potential lost income due to hurricanes, as seen in the following
table.

N/A - not applicable

Lost income was determined, based upon the number of persons unemployed as
calculated in the previous Chapter. These amounts vary by county and by
and by Storm type.

Since Glades and Hendry Counties would be affected primarily by wind damage
only (and some possible freshwater flooding) employment loss would be minimal,
and would be very short term (probably for periods of less than 2 weeks), so
employment loss has not been estimated.

Lost income due to a hurricane could range from $61 million in less intense
storms, to $690 million in major storms, when people are unemployed for a one-
year period. Employment loss would be most significant in Lee County, ranging
from $27 million to $280 million depending on storm intensity. Unemployment
and income loss in Sarasota County would also be sizeable. As a percentage
of total income, however, income lost due to hurricanes is relatively small.

AGRICULTURAL LOSS

Agricultural losses due to the impact of hurricanes upon crop production have
been estimated in a previous Chapter. Total projected dollar losses are presented
in the table below. These totals include damage to crops, livestock, and '
groves (primarily citrus).

Agricult'ral damage varies considerably, depending upon the storm type. In
minor storm's, damage totals could rise to $8.8 million, whereas in major
hurricanes, this total could increase tenfold, to $91.1 million.

The greatest potential damage could occur in Lee County, where destruction
amounts could range from $5.6 million in minor storms to $34 million in severe
hurricanes. Destruction in Collier County could amount to up to $23 million
in major storms, while amounts in Sarasota County are relatively small (less
than all other coastal counties, and up to only $8 million in intense
hurricanes). In general, damage to crops would be the greatest (accounting
for 47% of total agricultural damage) followed by grove (citrus) damage (31%).
Livestock damage would be the least, at 21% of total agricultural damage.1

TOTAL LOSS

Total potential loss due to hurricane is the summation of structural damage,
lost income, and agricultural damage.4 These amounts can be significant,
especially in major hurricanes. In minor storms, damage totals could reach
$537 million, increasing more than 8 times to $4.6 billion in extreme
hurricanes.3 Damage totals by storm category are listed in the following table.

~~I

I In addition, crop damage in Glades and Hendry County (which are not divided
into zones as are the coastal counties) could amount to $279 million in severe
storms (an amount three times greater than agricultural damage in the other
2 counties combined).
Public facilities damage is included in structural damage.

Other Economic Impacts

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term economic impacts of poten-
tial hurricanes in Southwest Florida. The primary impacts that have been addressed
in this report include damage to building structures, employment disruption and
subsequent loss of income, service and facilities loss, and agricultural damage.

There are other hurricane-related impacts that have not been discussed in this
study but are significant,nevertheless. These impacts which are beyond the
scope of this report (but would be suitable topics for future study), include
both direct and indirect impacts, in the following categories: Personal loss,
other property damage, road damage, environmental impacts, social impacts, and
other economic impacts.

Personal loss includes loss of life and injury, which also could indirectly re-
sult in loss of future wages. It has been shown previously that loss of life in
hurricanes is relatively minor, in comparison to other impacts.

In addition to damage to buildings, there are other types of property damage,
including damage to contents of structures, and damage to appurtenant structures.
Damage to personal property such as automobiles and boats (from sandblasting,
saltwater, etc) could also be significant. Damage could occur to seawalls and
bulkheads (which are not covered by insurance), as well as to the land itself
from erosion and other processes.

Road and bridge damage could occur from wave action and other hurricane-related
effects that can erode or destroy highways. Road damage would be especially
severe along barrier islands and coastal areas subject to storm surge. The
replacement cost of-highways is extremely high; costs for reconstruction alone
can range from $4~6,000 per mile (2 lane highway) to $1.2 million per mile
(4 lane highway). Costs for new construction are nearly double these amounts.

Boat damage could be significant. There are nearly 50,000 pleasure boats
registered in Southwest Florida.(1980- SWFRPC Economy 1982) Gross sales of
motor boats alone totaled over $48 million in 1980.

-Environmental damage consists of effects such as beach erosion, impact on
I ~plant and animal communities due to loss of habitat, and death of wildlife
due to drowning.
I ~Social impacts include changes in the amount and distribution of population
resulting from a hurricane, as well as impacts upon community integration, and
changes in other social characteristics (such as increases in crime, divorce
rates, stress, etc).
Other economic impacts, aside from the ones that have been discussed in this
study, include effects upon the commercial fishing industry and tourism. The
I ~commercial fishing industry is extremely'important in the coastal counties of
the Region, (especially Lee County), accounting for landings of 33 million
pounds with a value of $12.5 million in 1974.1 Destruction of fishing habitats
could cause a substantial loss of income in this sector. Tourism is one of
the most significant sectors of the economy in Southwest Florida. Estimated
expenditures by tourists in the Region exceeded $1.1 billion in 1981.2 One
of the primary reasons tourists visit Florida is for the beaches; however,
hurricane destruction could greatly affect beaches, and consequently would
detrimentally affect the tourist industry.

I ~These impacts, although they are beyond the scope of this report, are still
significant, and provide a suitable topic for future studies.

I ~~~CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
An examination of various hypothetical hurricanes and their impact has revealed
that the total economic losses could be substantial. The most significant
damage that could occur as a result of hurricanes would be building damage, while
lost income due to hurricane-induced unemployment and agricultural damage to live-
stock, crops and groves would be, in comparison, relatively minor.
I ~In extreme storms (category 5), total hurricane-induced damage could amount to
$4.6 billion in Southwest Florida. Building damage would account for $3.8
I ~billion of the total, while lost income could amount to $490 million, and
agricultural damages would exceed $91 million (not including an additional
$279 million in potential damages in Glades and Hendry Counties due to fresh-
I ~water flooding and wind damage).
In general, the largest counties would receive the most detrimental impacts,
due to their size and extensive development along the coastal areas. Building
damage and income loss are greatest in the most populous counties. Agricultural
I ~damage is also extensive in the coastal counties (with the exception of Sarasota
County), although this type of damage is most significant in the two inland
counties of Glades and Hendry, which are the most agriculturally-oriented in
the Region.
-Due to the significant potential economic impacts and monetary losses that
could be sustained in this area as the result of a hurricane, it is recommended
I ~that future studies could include the development of policies addressing the
Mitigation or prevention of future loss from hurricanes.

THE SAFFIR/SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE

I ~The-Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale is used by the National Weather Service 'to
give public safety officials a continuing assessment of the potential for wind
and storm surge damage from a hurricane in progress. Scale numbers are made
available to public safety officials when a hurricane is within 72 hours of
landfall. Scale assessments are revised regularly as new observations are made,
I. ~and public safety organizations are kept informed of new estimates of the hurri-
cane's disaster potential.

I ~Scale numbers range from I to 5. Scale No.1I begins with hurricanes in which the
maximum sustained winds are at least 74 mph, or which will produce a storm surge
4 to 5 feet above normal water level, while Scale No. 5 applies to those in
I ~which the maximum sustained winds are 155 mph or more, which have the potential
of producing a storm surge more than 18 feet above normal.
N ~The scale was developed by Herbert Salafir, Dade County, Florida consulting
engineer, and Dr. Robert H. Simpson, former National Hurricane Center director,
and projects scale assessment categories as follows:
1 ~~Category No. I - Winds of 74 tQ 95 mph. Damage primarily to shrubbery,
trees, foliage, and unanchored mobile homes. No real damage to other
structures. Some damage to poorly constructed signs. Storm surge 4
I ~ ~to 5 feet above normal . Low-lying coastal roads inundated, minor pier
damage, some small craft in exposed anchorage torn from moorings.
Category No. 2 - Winds of 96 to 110 mph. Considerable dama~ge to shrub-
I ~ ~bery and tree foliage; some trees blown down. Major damage to exposed
mobile homes. Extensive damage to poorly constructed signs. Some
damage to roofing materials of buildings; some window and door damage.
N ~ ~No major damage to buildings. Storm surge 6 to 8 feet above normal.
Coastal roads and low-lying escape routes inland cut by rising water
two to four hours before arrival of hurricane center. Colisiderable
I - ~damage to piers. Marinas flooded. Small craft in unprotected anchorages
torn from moorings. Evacuation of some shoreline residences and low-
lying island areas required.
I ~~Category No. 3 - Winds of III to 130 mph. Foliage torn from trees; large
trees blown down. Practically all poorly constructed signs blown down.
Some damage to.roofing materials of buildings; some window and door damage.
I ~ ~Some structural damage to small buildings. Mobile homes destroyed. Storm
surge 9 to 12 feet above normal. Serious flooding at coast and many
smaller structures near coast destroyed; large structures near coast
I ~ ~damaged by battering waves and floating debris. Low-lying escape routes
inland cut by rising water three to five hours before hurricane center
arrives. Flat terrain 5 feet or less above sea level flooded inland 8
miles or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences within several blocks
of shoreline possibly required.
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~B-l

Category No. 4 - Winds of 131 to 155 mph. Shrubs and trees blown
down; all signs down. Extensive damage to roofing materials,
windows, and doors. Complete failure of roofs on many small
residences. Complete destruction of mobile homes. -Storm surge 13
to IS feet above normal. Flat terrain 10 feet or less above sea
level flooded inland as far as six miles. Major damage to lower floors
to structures near shore due to flooding and battering by waves and
floating debris. Low-lying escape routes inland cut by rising water
three to five hours before hurricane center arrives. Major erosionI
of beaches. Massive evacuation of all residences within 500 yards of
shore possibly required, and of single-story residences on low
ground within two-miles of shore.
Category No. 5 - Winds greater than 155 mph. Shrubs and trees
blown down; considerable damage to roofs of buildings; all signsI
down. Complete failure of roofs on many residences and industrial
buildings. Extensive shattering of glass in windows and doors.
Some complete building failures. Small buildings over-turned or
blown away. Complete destruction o~f mobile homes. Storm surgeI
greater than 18 feet above normal. Major damage to lower floors
of all structures less than 15 feet. above sea level within 500 yards
of shore. Low-lying' escape routes inland cut by rising water threeI

Sample Calculations - Wind and Flood Damage

The following sample calculations of damage have been provided, to illustrate
the complexity of the methodology used in determining wind and flood damage.
This relatively simple example is for damage in the transportation section
(Land Use Code 20 on the property tax tape) for Sarasota County. It should
be noted that all these calculations were necessary to determine damages
for each one of 100 land use types. To estimate total damage for all six
counties, thousands of similar calculations were involved.

Sarasota County

Potential Damage
Transportation Facilities

Building Value ($) by
Transportation Vulnerability Zone Outside
Facilities 1 2 3 4 5 5

Total Value 0 0 3,126,000 218,000 567,000 0
Cumulative Total 0 0 3,126,000 3,344,000 3,911,000 3,911,000

To estimate wind damage, the following methodology was used:

Wind Damage

Category 1 Total value - value zone 1 x damage factor zone 1 (5.6% x 1.7%�)* =
wind damage
$3,911,000 - 0 = 3,911,000 x .0009 = $3,520
2
Category 2 Total value - value zone 1 - value zone2x damage factor zone 2
(16.7% x 2.3%)*= wind damage
$3,911,000 - 0 - 0 = 3,911,000 x .0038 - $14,862

Category 3 Total value - value zone 1 - value zone 2 - value zone 3 x damage
factor zone 3 [34.0% x3.4%)* = wind damage
$3,911,000 - 0 - 0 - 3,126,000 = 785,000 x .0016 - $1,256

Category 4 Total value - value zone 1 - value zone 2 - value zone 3 - value
zone 4 x damage factor zone 4 [48.0% x 5.9%)* = wind damage
$3,911,000 - 0 - 0-3,126,000 - 218,000 = 567,000 x .00283 = $1,605

Category 5 Total value- value zone 1 - value zone 2 - value zone 3 - value
zone 4 - value zone 5 (equivalent to value outside zone 5) x damage
factor zone 5 (66.7% x 10.9%)* = wind damage
$3,911,00 - 0 - 0 - 3,126,000 - 218,000 - 567,000 = 0 x.0727 = $0

* See Table 33 for wind damage factors (The damage factor used in this case
for wind damage was for non-residential buildings)

H-1

Flood damage is estimated in the following manner:

Flood Damage

Vulnerability Average Damage factor* Building
Category Zone Flooding (ft.) % x Value Damage ($)

1 1 1 9.94 x 0 = 0

2 1 4 28.56 x 0 0
2 1 9.94 x 0 = 0

3 1 9 44.76 x 0 = 0
2 5 30.37 x 0 = 0
3 2 16.06 x 3,126,000 502,036
4 1 12 48.0 x 0 = 0
2 8 44.21 x 0 = 0
3 5 30.37 x 3,126,000 = 949,366
4 1 9.94 x 218,000 = 21,669

5 1 13 49.0 x 0 = 0
2 11 47.0 x 0 = 0
3 8 44.21 x 3,126,000 =1,382,005
4 4 28.56 x 218,000 = 62,261
5 1 9.94 x 567,000 = 56,360
Total Damage is calculated below:

Total Wind & Flood Damage ($)

Storm Category
1 2 3 4 5

Wind Damage 3,520 14,862 1,256 1,605 0
Flood Damage 0 0 502,036 971,035 1,500,626

TOTAL 3,520 14,862 503,292 972,640 1,500,626

* See Table 34 for flood damage factors (The damage factor for flood damage was
for single-story buildings)
