It is not practical for every pump station to be
equipped with emergency standby equipment,
other strategies are used to broaden coverage
during power outages.
5.B.1
Packet Pg. 51 Attachment: Irma and Hurricane Update BCC May 2019 (8957 : Hurricane Season and Irma Update)
Generator Wastewater Strategies…
u Portable generators (27% of the current total)
provide flexibility to relocate from station to station.
u Pumper trucks are used to pump down stations
without power, releasing the wastewater to stations
with emergency standby systems.
u The Florida Warn-Intrastate mutual-aid network
system provides generator resources when
available.
u The County’s debris mission contract provides
generator and pumper truck resources when
available.
Concurrently,
Modifications are being
proposed to the Water-
Sewer District Utilities
Standards Manual to help
address emergency
standby systems.

Landline and Wireless Communication
Systems:
u Landlines and Cellular calls impacted by damages to CenturyLink
switching infrastructure.
u Cellular carriers, heavily committed to flood operations within
Texas following Hurricane Harvey -limiting disaster resources for
Irma and Maria.
u Cellular carriers, locally towers preformed well during Irma but
were constrained by landline switching failures.
u Emergency Management has met with Verizon to address
extreme challenges in Golden Gate, Everglades City and
Immokalee.
u State and local EOC’s continue to invite communication giants to
provide liaisons in local EOC’s for coordination.
Typical damages noted in the
Panhandle following
Hurricane Michael.

Survivor Recovery:
u Faith Based and Volunteer Groups-Our communication,
coordination, and cooperation is building everyday that
will improve our community resilience and resolve with our
restored Volunteer and Unmet Needs staff position.
u Our very generous community has provided the resources
for many non-profits to do exceptional work in mid-range
and long range recovery for those many families who were
devastated by Irma.
u We have worked hard to leverage every available disaster
preparedness dollar to build local capacity…. As all
disasters are local!
u Collier County should be exceptionally proud of the
disaster response and recovery team,-public and private-
as this effort is unconditionally a team sport.
