SECTION 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA

SECTION 00 33 50 Page 1

1. The following water stage, wind, wave, and weather data are provided for inclusion in the subject project’s

P&S. The water level datums provided here are for information only and are not for use in conjunction with any contract-related hydrographic surveying.

a) Water Stages. Water levels in the project area are mainly affected by wind and semi-diurnal tidal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean. The project area is subject to storm surge from tropical systems from

June through November. Surge from extratropical storms may affect the area any time of the year.

Elevations of tidal datums in the vicinity of the project area were gathered using the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) tide stations shown in Figure 1 and

Tables 1 through 2. These data are referenced to Mean Lower-Low Water (MLLW) from the tidal epoch period of 1983 to 2001 and are based on controlling tide stations near Mayport, Florida (NOAA Tide

Stations 8720218 and 8720220). Additional tidal data on stations in the vicinity of the subject project area can be found at the following website: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/map/index.html?region=Florida.

The elevations in Table 1 are taken from NOAA’s Tide Station 8720211 (Mayport Naval Sta., St Johns

River, FL). These datums are based on a 12-month analysis from 01 November 2003 to 31 October 2004 from a gauge on the St Johns River, which is roughly 0.25 miles outside of the Mayport Basin. Table 2 provides datums taken from NOAA’s Tide Station 8720214 (Degaussing Structure, FL). These elevations are based on data from a six-month analysis from 01 May 1998 to 31 October 1998 from a location approximately 0.5 miles east of the Mayport Basin.

Daily tidal predictions at locations along the coastline of North and South America, including locations in the vicinity of the project area, are included in the publication East Coast of North and South America Tide

Tables, United States (U.S.) Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service. In addition to daily tidal predictions, this publication provides mean tide levels, diurnal tide ranges, and some astronomical data (sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset). Of note, tidal data provided in this publication are also listed at the following website:

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html.

b) Wind and Wave Data. The publications in this section include wind and wave information in the vicinity of the project area. They are available for review at the websites or agencies indicated.

i. U.S. Coast Pilot Volume 4, Atlantic Coast: Cape Henry to Key West, U.S. Department of

Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service is a publication that supplements the navigational information shown on NOAA’s NOS nautical charts and provides miscellaneous meteorological data. This publication is available through NOAA or on the following https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html

SECTION 00 33 50 Page 3 website: https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/coast-pilot/index.html.

ii. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory, Wave Information Study (WIS)

Database is a wave hindcast database for various stations located along the U.S. Atlantic, Gulf of America, and Caribbean coastlines. WIS Station ST63407 is in roughly 13.0 meters of water relative to the Mean Sea

Level (MSL) datum (i.e. 42.7 ft-MSL) at 30° 25.0' N, 81° 15.0' W. This station lies approximately 9.6 miles east of Mayport. Available data includes a hindcast time series of wave heights, periods, and directions taken at 1-hour intervals for the 44-year period of 1980-2024. The following website provides links to WIS summary tables and plots, as well as other sources of wave data: https://wisportal.erdc.dren.mil/.

iii. National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) Website provides a wide range of real-time and archived meteorological and oceanographic data collected at offshore and nearshore stations worldwide. Data provided on this website include wind speed, wind gusts, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, sea temperature, wave height, and wave period. Gauge readings are updated hourly, and archived data is available for most stations. Data relevant to Florida projects are found at the following website:

https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/.

c) Weather Conditions. The project area is subject to tropical systems June through November and to windy and rainy weather any time of the year. The climate of the area is essentially tropical, as temperatures below freezing are seldom. During the wet season (May through October), rainfall events are usually short and sporadic and closely associated with convective activity. Winter months generally constitute the dry season, where rainfall is typically associated with mid-latitude, or extratropical, systems and distributed in a more spatially uniform pattern. Daily rainfall events in the dry season are occasionally heavy when mid-latitude systems impact northeast Florida. Notably, hazardous thunderstorms can occur in this area at any time of the year.

i. It is the contractor's responsibility to obtain information concerning weather conditions in the project area. The Climate Data Online website (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/) published by

NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (formerly the National Climatic Data Center) in

Asheville, North Carolina contains climatological and meteorological data relevant to this region. Available data include quality-controlled daily, monthly, seasonal, and yearly measurements of temperature, precipitation, wind, and degree days as well as radar data and 15- to 30-year climate normals.

NOAA’s Climate Data Online website includes Monthly Normals (average values) for temperature, precipitation, and other climatological information over three periods: 1981-2010, 1991-2020, and 2006-

2020. NOAA’s Mayport Pilot STN, FL (ID USW00003853) is closest to the project area and lies roughly

0.5 miles north of the project site at 30° 24.0' N, 81° 25.0' W. The most applicable period for data at this site is likely 2006-2020 and is found at the following website: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/normals/.

Read this paragraph in conjunction with the Clause LAYOUT OF WORK (FAR 52.236-17).

1.6.1 Established Project Control

The Government has established monuments along the work site(s). Each monument is represented in the contract drawings by a Designation and in most cases, an alphanumeric Permanent Identifier (PID). Information concerning the location and elevations can be found within the Survey Notes on the plan sheets. The Survey Notes for each included field survey will cite a particular survey number, and specify the control used to conduct that survey. Additional information is included in the Survey Notes that must be duplicated if an attempt to recreate the subject survey is desired.

For navigation channels, the Government has established tidal calibration sites for projects constructed and maintained to a tidal datum. Each tidal calibration site is represented in the plan sheet drawings by Station ID, and is cited in the Survey Notes. Calibrate all projects constructed and maintained to a tidal datum to the Station ID specified in the plan sheet drawings. Information regarding the location and associated benchmarks of the referenced Station ID is included in the Monument Description section of these specifications.

See Section 00 31 21 CONTROL MONUMENT DESCRIPTIONS.

1.6.2 Layout

From the monuments, control data and elevations established by the Government, complete the layout of the work and obtain all measurements that may be required for the execution of the work to the location and limit marks prescribed in the specifications or on the contract drawings, subject to such modifications as the Contracting Officer may require to meet changed conditions or as a result of necessary modifications to the contract work.

1.6.3 Survey

Provide equipment, tools, material, labor for laying out any part of the work from the monuments, control data, and elevations established by the Government. Maintain and preserve all monuments, stakes and other marks established by the Contracting Officer until authorized to remove them, and if such marks or monuments are destroyed by the Contractor or through negligence, prior to their authorized removal, they may be replaced by the Contracting Officer, at their discretion, and the expense of replacement will be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor.

The Contracting Officer may require that work be suspended at any time when location and limit marks established by the Contractor are not reasonably adequate to permit checking of the work.

1.7 DAMAGE TO WORK

The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work will be as set forth in Clause PERMITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. However, if any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood, earthquake, hurricane, or tornado, which damage is not due to the failure

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 7 of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable Contract unit or job prices as fixed and established in the Contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or job prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to Clause CHANGES will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or job prices. Except as herein provided, repair damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment and plant at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

1.8 EXISTING WORK

In addition to FAR 52.236-9, Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements:

a. Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which remain.

b. Repair or replace portions of existing work which have been altered during construction operations to match existing or adjoining work, as approved by the Contracting Officer. At the completion of operations, existing work must be in a condition equal to or better than that which existed before new work started.

CHAPTER 5

DESTRUCTIVE WEATHER PLAN

500. DESTRUCTIVE WEATHER PLAN. Northeast Florida is subject to the following types of destructive weather: hurricanes, tropical storms, gales, tornadoes, thunderstorms, freezes, ice, and snowstorms. Due to the destructive nature of these phenomena, it is essential that NAVSTA MAYPORT afloat commands become familiar with the Destructive Weather information of this plan to reduce injury to personal and damage to equipment. In addition to this plan, each command must develop and maintain a detailed Destructive Weather Plan tailored to their specific requirements.

501. READINESS FOR GETTING UNDERWAY

a. Ships must notify CTF 80 and SOPA MAYPORT by message at least 72 hours in advance of intentions to disable critical machinery for more than 96 hours.

b. Ships under CTF 80 will submit DMR to CTF 80 and INFO USFF NORFOLK VA, COMNAVSURFLANT, COMUSNAVSO, CNSS FOURTEEN, and SERMC if unable to support a 96 hour RFS.

(1) Submit DMRs at least 72 hours in advance. CTF 80 permission is required prior to disabling machinery that would restrict ship movement on short notice.

(2) CTF 80 will respond by record message traffic if CTF 80 non-concurs with DMR.

(3) Subject requests in support of repairs to a propulsion limiting casualty must be submitted as soon as practical in addition to required CASREPS.

(4) DMRs are NOT required if a ship can maintain a 96 hour RFS, or if a ship is in a CNO Depot-level availability.

c. Commanding Officers are reminded that, in accordance with Navy Regulations, they are responsible for the safety of their ship and crew. Maintenance availabilities do not obviate that requirement.

502. DESCRIPTION OF HAZARDOUS WEATHER PHENOMENA. A list of potentially destructive weather systems with associated definition follows:

a. Tropical Cyclone. A warm-core, non-frontal synoptic scale Low pressure system originating over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized deep convection, i.e., thunderstorm activity, and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.

b. Hazardous Winds. Sustained winds of 35 knots or greater.

SECTION 01 11 00 APPENDIX A Page 2

c. Destructive Winds. Sustained winds of 50 knots or greater.

d. Tropical Depression. A tropical cyclone with associated maximum sustained wind of 33 knots or less.

e. Tropical Storm. A tropical cyclone with associated maximum sustained wind 34 to 63 knots.

f. Hurricane. A tropical cyclone with associated maximum sustained wind of 64 knots or more. Hurricane Classifications (sustained winds):

(1) Category 1 (64-82 knots)

(2) Category 2 (83-95 knots)

(3) Category 3 (96-113 knots)

(4) Category 4 (114-135 knots)

(5) Category 5 (>135)

g. Subtropical Cyclone. A low pressure system that develops over subtropical waters that initially has a nontropical circulation but in which some elements of tropical cyclone cloud structure are present.

h. Wind Hazardous to Small Craft. Sustained wind between 16 and 33 knots.

i. Gale. Sustained wind (non-tropical) between 34 and 47 knots.

j. Storm. Sustained wind (non-tropical) of 48 knots or more.

k. Thunderstorm. Localized storm typically of short duration that potentially can produce wind gusts less than 50 knots and hail less than 3/4" in diameter.

l. Severe Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm that potentially can produce wind gusts of 50 knots or more and/or hail 3/4" or greater in diameter.

m. Tornado. Violent rotating column of air associated with thunderstorms that touches the ground with wind inside the column from 100 to 250 knots. Updrafts may reach 175 knots.

n. Freeze. Air temperature below 32 degrees F/0 degrees C.

SECTION 01 11 00 APPENDIX A Page 3

503. LOCAL HAZARDOUS WEATHER WARNINGS AND THUNDERSTORM

CONDITIONS OF READINESS

a. Promulgation. Fleet Weather Center Norfolk will issue weather advisories and warnings based on predicted conditions. Port Operations will disseminate weather and warnings to afloat commands via VHF Channel 12 and 74. Afloat units are required to guard Channels 12 and 74.

b. Gale/Storm Warnings. Gale/Storm Warnings will be issued whenever gale/storm conditions (not associated with tropical cyclones or thunderstorms) are expected in the vicinity of Mayport within 24 hours. The warning message/notice will provide estimated time of onset and cessation of conditions. Ships will review heavy weather bills, ensure mooring configuration is appropriate, and police decks and berth for possible missile hazards. Ships will notify SOPA of any factors which may affect ship or personnel safety due to the predicted conditions.

c. Thunderstorms Conditions of Readiness

(1) Thunderstorm Conditions of Readiness are defined and established in reference (r) to prepare commands for the arrival of destructive or hazardous weather and to minimize resultant damage.

(2) CO NAVSTA MAYPORT will set hazardous weather conditions associated with thunderstorm activity as described below:

(a) Thunderstorm/Severe Thunderstorm Condition II. Hazardous wind and associated phenomena are expected within 25nm within six hours. Associated lighting/thunder, torrential rain, severe hail downbursts, and/or sudden wind shifts are possible. Additionally, tornado formation is possible in the vicinity of severe thunderstorms. Take precautions that will permit establishment of an appropriate state of readiness on short notice, such as checking lines and striking down all missile hazards.

(b) Thunderstorm/Severe Thunderstorm Condition I. Hazardous wind and associated phenomena are occurring. Associated lighting/thunder, torrential rain, severe hail downbursts, and/or sudden wind shifts are possible. Additionally, tornado formation is possible in the vicinity of severe thunderstorms. Upon notification of Thunderstorm/Severe Thunderstorm I, refueling and ammunition handling operations will cease. For ammunition handling evolutions, ships will secure hatches, strike ammunition below, and have loaded trucks moved to a safe parking area until the condition is relaxed.

504. TROPICAL CYCLONE CONDITIONS OF READINESS/SORTIE CONDITIONS

a. Discussion. Per MOA between USFF and C4F, C4F has been assigned as Sortie Commander Mayport (CTG 883.2). In most cases, SOPA MAYPORT will also serve as CTG

883.2. However, in the event that SOPA MAYPORT and CTG 883.2 are not the same command, SOPA Mayport will assist the assigned sortie commander as necessary. Send all hurricane

SECTION 01 11 00 APPENDIX A Page 4 related reports CTG 883.2, info SOPA MAYPORT. Additionally, CNSS 14 has been designated by USFF in the same MOA as the EA for SOPA MAYPORT. The SOPA MAYPORT EA will carry out the orders of the SOPA MAYPORT for Hurricane Readiness reporting, material condition assessment of all afloat units in Mayport and execute the actions required per Sortie Condition directed.

b. Sortie Commander Mayport has been given the authority to recommend sortie and designate a sortie task unit commander, CTU 883.2.1 for NAVSTA MAYPORT. The designated sortie task unit commander will be approved by CTF-80 and will be assigned as CTU 883.2.1.

Additional SAG commanders will be assigned as CTU 883.2.2 and CTU 883.2.3 as required.

SAG commanders and members will be assigned at a sortie coordination meeting hosted by the hurricane sortie commander. SAG units will be identified in the Hurricane Sortie OPGEN.

c. NAVSTA MAYPORT Emergency Sortie Task Group Chain of Command

(1) CUSFFCTF 883

(2) CTF 80 CTG 883.0

(3) Sortie Commander Mayport CTG 883.2

(4) Sortie Task Unit Commander CTU 883.2.1

(5) SAG Commander(s) CTU 883.2.X

d. Tropical Cyclone COR

(1) Definitions

(a) COR 5. Onset of destructive winds possible within 96 hours.[COR 5 is set 01 June until 30 November for the Mayport area each year.]

(b) 120 Hour Checklist. Onset of destructive winds possible within 120 hours.

(c) 96 Hour Checklist. Onset of destructive winds possible within 96 hours.

(d) COR 4. Onset of destructive winds possible within 72 hours.

(e) COR 3. Onset of destructive winds possible within 48 hours.

(f) COR 2. Onset of destructive winds possible within 24 hours.

(g) COR 1. Onset of destructive winds possible within 12 hours.

SECTION 01 11 00 APPENDIX A Page 5

(2) Ordering of Tropical Cyclone Conditions of Readiness

(a) CO NAVSTA MAYPORT orders Tropical Cyclone Conditions of Readiness based on the onset of destructive winds associated with a tropical cyclone for NAVSTA MAYPORT shore commands. CO NAVSTA MAYPORT will inform CTG 883.2/SOPA when ordering all CORs.

e. Sortie Conditions

(1) Discussion. Sortie conditions are established to support afloat unit requirements to depart well before onset of heavy weather, and will be based on forecast weather along the potential sortie track. Sortie conditions will be set by CTG 883.2, based upon the estimated onset of destructive winds in the Mayport area, storm track relationship to evasion routes, and Mayport weather conditions. Sortie conditions will be set in concert with, but independent of, NAVSTA MAYPORT COR. Anticipated sortie time will be promulgated by message when setting Sortie Conditions.

(2) Sortie CHARLIE. Prepare to sortie within 36 to 48 hours to avoid heavy weather.

Anticipated sortie commencement time will be included in the message setting Sortie C.

Depending on predicted storm track, Sortie C may be set well in advance of Condition IV for shore activities.

(3) Sortie BRAVO. Sortie expected within 24 hours to avoid heavy weather.

(4) Sortie ALPHA. Commence sortie to avoid heavy weather.

f. Climatology. While no tropical cyclone should be underestimated, a study of the Mayport basin reveals the greatest threat occurs from hurricanes approaching from the east-southeast octant for the months August through October. The following factors are major considerations for effects to ships in Mayport:

(1) The geographical position of Mayport severely limits evasion routes. Early sortie may be required to avoid being caught either crossing the “T” of the approaching cyclone and steaming in the dangerous semicircle or transiting along the coast (in the preferred semicircle) on a poor sea-keeping course due to inadequate sea room.

(2) Remaining securely moored in Mayport during a heavy weather event is not feasible due to the potentially disastrous effects of winds and storm surge. Storm surge occurs when wind and pressure effects of the cyclone produce a sea height greater than mean sea level. When this “bulge” of water preceding a cyclone interacts with bottom topography and the coastline and is superimposed upon tidal fluctuations, it can produce devastating flooding and huge waves along the coast.

g. Historical Data

SECTION 01 11 00 APPENDIX A Page 6

(1) In 1964, Hurricane Dora, with 100 knot winds, struck the coast just north of St.

Augustine on 09 September. A 6-8 foot storm surge was reported in Mayport. Fortunately, this coincided with an astronomical low tide, minimizing surge damage to the wharves and surrounding area. Maximum sustained winds of 65 knots with gusts to 80 knots were recorded on station Mayport.

(2) In 2004, Hurricane Frances made landfall as a category 2 storm near Stuart, FL (~200 nm south) on 05 September. Frances’ CPA with Mayport was 105 nm. Gale force winds lasted 13 hours with 50 knots sustained winds lasting 3 hours. One ship reported a maximum gust of 75 knots in the basin. USCG reported a 2-3 foot surge above high tide. Of the 14 ships in Mayport basin, four lines were parted (3 from one ship).

(3) Again in 2004, just 18 days after Hurricane Frances, hurricane Jeanne also made landfall in Stuart, FL as a category 3 storm on 26 September. Jeanne’s CPA with Mayport was 75

nm. Gale force winds lasted 6 hours with sustained 54 knots lasting 1 hour. One ship reported a maximum gust of 64 knots in the basin. USCG reported a 2.5 foot surge above high tide. Of the 13 ships in Mayport basin, none reported significant damage.

(4) In 2008, Tropical Storm Fay made its third Florida landfall near Flagler Beach 21 August, with sustained winds of 30 knots gusting to 40 knots. Extreme rainfall amounts of 27.65 inches were measured near Melbourne, Florida breaking a 50-year old record for a rainfall event, although amounts in excess of 5-10 inches were common across northern Florida. Storm surge from Fay was minimal, with storm surge of 3.06 ft and storm tide of 4.71 observed at the Mayport Bar Pilot.

(5) In 2016, Hurricane Matthew had CPA of 40 miles with Mayport on 7 October as a category 2 hurricane. At 1930 on 7 Oct, maximum sustained winds of 55 knots gusting to 63 knots, Sea State: 16.2 ft and heavy rains were observed on station Mayport. Storm surge was 6-6 substantial, 11 feet, at the top of the wharf; during high tide, low level flooding at Alpha/Delta wharves caused substantial damage to (1) COMUSNAVSO building and to 45 vehicles parked in the area.

(a) Afloat. (3) ships SORTIE with CTF 883.2. (2) vessels remained at BAE Heckscher Drive facility. (8) vessels remained in the Mayport basin. During the height of the storm, (5) lines were parted from (1) DDG. (2) Sea-Tractors were sent alongside to assist in maintaining moor. Due to sea state in the basin, (2) PC’s evacuated crews to a co-located DDG.

(b) Air. (9) H-60R remained hangared in HGR-1552. (25) H-60R evacuated to NAS Jacksonville, HGR-1122

(c) Personnel. On 6 October, CNRSE issued an evacuation order; a total of 2886 personnel evacuated Mayport Navy housing; 68 residents remained. MEP plan was activated

SECTION 01 11 00 APPENDIX A Page 7 with a total of 557 support personnel remaining on station; 458 afloat personnel and 99 shore personnel.

(d) MEF COOP. Mayport did not COOP. COMUSNAVSO initiated MEF COOP to NAS Jacksonville.

(e) Damage Assessment. Number of Buildings Inspected by PWD: 93; Number of Buildings With Damage: 82; Number of Buildings With Water Damage: 31; Number of Buildings With Rising Water Damage: 14; Number of Buildings With Occupants Displaced: 1;

Number of Emergency Service Calls Issued: 45; Number of Service Calls Issued: 28.

(f) Total damage costs; Facilities: $9,177,600 and Beach: $3,500,000.

h. Sortie and Evasion

(1) Because of the storm surge potential and lack of any high blocking terrain to provide wind breaks, none of the inland waterways or Ports in the Jacksonville area are designated safe havens during sustained hurricane force winds. There may be some berth space available for Mayport-based ships in the JAXPORT area (Talleyrand wharves) and buoys are available northwest of Blount Island for Navy yard craft and small ships. However, evasion at sea or relocation to a safe haven is the recommended course of action for all seaworthy vessels when Mayport is directly threatened with sustained destructive force winds of 50 knots or greater.

Ships with large sail areas, should evade at sea when threatened by greater than 35 knot sustained winds. Storm surge from nearby tropical storms is much more common than actual strikes for Mayport. Surge dissipating effects of inland wetlands and the intracoastal make alternate, upriver berthing locations generally safe in instances where winds are not a major concern.

Hurricane berths will be coordinated by SOPA (ADMIN) MAYPORT with the JAX Port Authority. Additionally, barges, floating cranes and tugs will be moved to more secure areas designated by SOPA (ADMIN) MAYPORT during preparations for hazardous weather conditions.

(2) Fleet safety is paramount and must be a key factor in a timely decision to sortie. A major hurricane (Category 3-5) on a track towards Jacksonville would devastate the fleet if caught in port.

(3) Timeliness of a sortie decision is essential. Ideally, ships should be prepared and expect to get underway at about the same time that shore stations go to COR 3. However, the forecast storm track may dictate an earlier start to the sortie. The following time considerations are critical factors of a sortie decision:

(a) A Mayport sortie may require up to 24 hours if disabled ships must be moved dead-stick to Talleyrand wharves. Normal sorties can be completed in no more than 8 hours.

SECTION 01 11 00 APPENDIX A Page 8

(b) Due to potential storm curvature and inherent forecast error, ships may need to transit nearly 200 NM to evade the storm (13 hour transit at 15 knots). This transit will be in less than optimal sea states due to rapid swell propagation in advance of tropical cyclones. Factoring in the above delays, sortie could take more than 36 hours from first ship’s departure until the last ship reaches the rendezvous point.

i. Seasonal Tropical Cyclone Conditions of Readiness. Due to the geographical location of NAVSTA MAYPORT, COR 5 will be ordered and maintained during the Atlantic Hurricane Season which runs from 01 June to 30 November each year. This enhanced level of readiness includes additional training, special reporting and frequent reviews of command Hurricane Readiness. This condition shall be consistent with ongoing routine but will include additional emphasis on hurricane preparedness.
