PL ANNING FOR AN AC TIVE
HURRICANE SE A SON by Kelly Oden
T
he 2022 Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and experts are predicting a 65 percent chance for above-normal activity. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting 14 to 21 named storms, of which six to 19 could reach hurricane status. The forecast also says that three to 6 of those hurricanes could become major hurricanes with wind speeds of 74 mph or higher.
Those of us who call the Gulf Coast home likely know the importance of preparing our homes and our lives for hurricane season (although reminders can never hurt!), but with the influx of new residents in recent years, we felt it was a good time to review some basic hurricane preparedness tips for the 2022 season. We talked with Escambia County Emergency Manager Travis Tompkins to learn more about how residents can prepare now to stay safe in the event of a hurricane or major storm in the future. Tompkins emphasized that weather awareness is key going into hurricane season. “As soon as that cone of uncertainty shows up in the Gulf, we all have to be paying attention to what that storm is going to do and where it could be landing,” he said. “Weather awareness is the number one thing. As soon as you see that cone in the Gulf, that is when you need to start preparing.” Tompkins explained that Escambia County Emergency Management is encouraging residents to focus on three major points in their hurricane planning: Know Your Zone, Know Your Home and Know Your Plan. KNOW YOUR ZONE
Evacuation zones are in place to protect citizens from deadly storm surges, Tomp-
kins explained. It’s important to remember that each storm system is different and a smaller hurricane could potentially have a larger storm surge impact than that of a larger one. Tompkins urges all residents to heed evacuation orders for their safety. “We want to make sure that people understand that you run from the water and then you hide from the wind,” he said. “That storm surge is the main thing that people don’t understand. They just think, ‘Well, we are going to have this hurricane come in and the wind is going to blow really hard and we are going to get a lot of rain.’ But that’s not what kills people. It’s the storm surge that kills people. So, when we ask for people to evacuate, we’re serious about that. The evacuation level ‘A’, for instance, that surge can get up to seven feet high. All homes that are not prepared for that and people that didn’t evacuate don’t always understand that we can’t come and get them until that storm surge has receded.” Escambia County’s evacuation zones run from A to E, with E having the highest potential for dangerous surge levels of up to 20 above ground level. Residents can visit myescambia.com/knowyourzone to enter their address and find their evacuation zone. Even if
you think you know your zone, it’s important to look it up every year because zones do change. KNOW YOUR HOME
As a homeowner, you know your home best. Did your home receive damage in previous storms? What are its weak spots? Do you have storm shutters? Are they properly cut and secured? “Shutters are more important than people realize because your standard glass windows are not that strong,” Tompkins said. “What can happen is that the storm busts through your windows and that continued wind can start to apply pressure on the roof and start to lift it up. That’s how people lose their roofs on their houses—when their windows blow out. Having those windows covered properly is really important.” Tompkins also says homes built before 2002 (when stronger building codes were put in place) and mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to both storm surges and wind damage. Residents living in these types of homes should strongly consider leaving for an approaching storm. Officials also suggest homeowners trim large trees well before the start of hurricane season to prevent damage from broken branches. KNOW YOUR PLAN
Are you going to evacuate? If so, where will you go? What route will you take? Be sure to check evacuation routes with local media and emergency management. If you need to evacuate, your best option is to stay with family or friends who live outside the evacuation zone. Be sure to have an evacuation route and an alternative route planned out in advance.
Tompkins urges that while emergency shelters are in place during a storm, these are last resort shelters that offer safety from the storm with very few amenities or creature comforts. It’s also important to remember that you don’t necessarily have to travel hundreds of miles to get to safety—just far enough from the evacuation zones. If you have pets, you should also have a plan for them because most emergency shelters do not accept pets. In addition, FEMA offers a Family Emergency Communication Plan as a downloadable form. This is an excellent way to organize all of your important information, contacts, policy numbers and more. Find it online at r e a d y. g ov / s i t e s / d e f a u l t / f iles/2021-04/familyemergency-communicationplan.pdf. IF YOU STAY
If you live in a house and a zone that can withstand the high winds and rising waters, you might decide to ride out the storm at home. Tompkins has a few suggestions for those who choose to stay. First, secure anything in the yard that can be picked up by a strong wind— potted plants, garbage bins or patio furniture. These objects can easily become projectiles that can cause more damage to homes and property. Since the first 72 hours are on you, be sure to stock up on all necessary supplies. Fill your gas tanks early and have extra supplies of gas and/or propane for generators. Stock up on water, non-perishable food and first aid supplies to last at least three to five days. IF YOU EVACUATE
sure to wait until local authorities give it the all-clear to return. The roads need to be cleared of debris, electrical wires and high water before they are safe to travel on. Do not attempt to drive through any moving or high rising water. Strong winds can also knock down live electric wires. Do not attempt to cross over the wires, move the wires, or remove tree branches off the wires. Once you are home, assess your damage and contact your insurance company as soon as possible. If necessary, get a claim filed with FEMA as well. The Escambia County Emergency Management Department has several ways citizens can stay on top of approaching storm news.

STATE FIRES BACK IN RACE-RELATED INSTRUCTION FIGHT JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — Lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody are fighting an attempt to block a state law and regulations that limit the way race-related issues can be taught in public schools and in workplace training. In a court document filed last week, the lawyers argued Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker should reject a request for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed in April after DeSantis signed the controversial law (HB 7). Walker is scheduled to hold a hearing June 21 on the preliminary-injunction issue, according to a court docket. Plaintiffs in the case allege that the law and regulations violate First Amendment rights and are unconstitutionally vague. But in the 60-page document filed last week, lawyers for DeSantis and Moody disputed that the restrictions violate speech rights in schools and workplaces. “Here, the act does not prevent the state’s educators from espousing whatever views they may hold, on race or anything else, on their own time, and it does not prevent students from seeking them out and listening to them,” the document said. “All it says is that state-employed teachers may not espouse or advocate in the classroom views contrary to the principles enshrined in the act, while they are on the state clock, in exchange for a state paycheck. The First Amendment does not compel Florida to
pay educators to advocate ideas, in its name, that it finds repugnant.” But in an April motion for a preliminary injunction, lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that DeSantis and other Republican leaders “banned teachers and employers from endorsing a litany of opinions about race that had been stuck in their craw,” such as institutional racism, white privilege and critical race theory. “This constitutional challenge is not about whether these ideas are right or whether they should be taught throughout Florida’s schools and workplaces,” the 53-page motion said. “Rather, it is about an attempt by Florida’s conservative politicians to silence exchange of these ideas and win a so-called ‘culture war’ through legislative and executive fiat.” DeSantis this year made a priority of passing the law — which he dubbed the “Stop Wrongs Against our Kids and Employees Act,” or Stop WOKE Act. It came after the State Board of Education last year passed regulations that included banning the use of critical race theory, which is based on the premise that racism is embedded in American society and institutions. The law, which is scheduled to take effect July 1, lists a series of race-related concepts that would constitute discrimination if taught in classrooms or in required workplace-training programs. As an example, part of the law labels instruction discriminatory if it leads people to believe that they bear “responsibility for, or should be discriminated
against or receive adverse treatment because of, actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin or sex.” As another example, the law seeks to prohibit instruction that would cause students to “feel guilt, anguish or other forms of psychological distress because of actions, in which the person played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin or sex.” The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are two public-school teachers, a University of Central Florida associate professor, a child who will be a public-school student in the coming year and the president of a firm that provides workplace training. In the motion for a preliminary injunction, the plaintiffs’ attorneys from the Jacksonville firm of Sheppard, White, Kachergus, DeMaggio & Wilkison, P.A. wrote that the law and regulations “intrude on the free expression and academic freedom of Florida’s teachers by imposing a pall of orthodoxy over the classrooms.” “These provisions suppress a wide range of viewpoints accepted by academics for the sole reason that Florida’s conservative lawmakers disagree with them,” the motion said. “Even if such disagreement could form a legitimate government interest, Governor DeSantis failed to identify any actual examples of what he calls ‘critical race theory’ being taught in Florida public school classrooms.” The plaintiffs’ attorneys also alleged that the restrictions “ensure students learn
only a white-washed version of history and sociological theories that ignore systemic problems in our society that create racial injustices.” But in the document filed last week, the lawyers for DeSantis and Moody wrote that the plaintiffs who are educators “have no constitutional right of academic freedom to override curriculum policies adopted by democratically elected lawmakers.” “Plaintiffs’ First Amendment challenge to the educational provisions fails because the act regulates pure government speech — the curriculum used in state schools and the in-class instruction offered by state employees — and the First Amendment simply has no application in this context,” the document said. The state’s lawyers, who also separately filed a motion last week seeking to dismiss the case, argued in the preliminary-injunction document that the state restrictions are intended at “stamping out” discrimination. “The balance of the equities and the public interest weigh decisively against enjoining the act. … (The) state has a compelling — constitutionally imperative — interest in ending discrimination based on race and other immutable characteristics, and enjoining the act will sanction conduct and curricular speech that Florida has determined, in the exercise of its sovereign judgment, is pernicious and contrary to the state’s most cherished ideals,” wrote the state’s lawyers, including attorneys from the Washington. D.C. firm of Cooper & Kirk, PLLC.
TADDEO TO RUN FOR CONGRESS, EXITS GUBERNATORIAL RACE
JUDGE DEALS OUT CARDROOM WORKERS FROM POKER GAMES
JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE --- State Sen. Annette Taddeo dropped out of the race for governor Monday and will run for a South Florida congressional seat held by Republican Maria Elvira Salazar. Taddeo, who trailed fellow Democrats Charlie Crist and Nikki Fried in raising money and early polls in the gubernatorial race, said in a statement the decision was about the need for federal leadership on issues such as gun violence, inflation and abortion. “Families in Miami need a representative in Congress who will stand up for them, hold Washington politicians accountable and make sure we finally tackle issues like the cost of living, gun violence and defending a woman’s right to choose,” Taddeo, D-Miami, said in the statement. “I’m a small-business owner and a mother with a daughter in Miami-Dade public schools, so I live with these issues every single day.” She also pointed to the recent mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas, as influencing her decision to run in Congressional District 27. “After the tragedies in Buffalo and Uvalde and a conversation with my daughter about the realities our kids face daily, I knew what I needed to do,” Taddeo said. “We are at a pivotal moment in our country, and we desperately need leadership in Washington that can be trusted to put politics aside for the best interests of Miamians.” Taddeo will face Miami City Commissioner Ken Russell in the Aug. 23 Democratic primary in Congressional District 27, which was redrawn this year as part of the once-a-decade reapportionment process. Russell initially planned to run for a U.S. Senate seat this year but then shifted to the U.S. House race. Salazar was elected to Congress in 2020, unseating incumbent Democrat Donna Shalala. “I am singularly focused on unseating (Salazar), who has been ineffective for her voters,” Russell tweeted Monday after Taddeo’s announcement. “Having been elected twice in this district (as a member of the city commission) deliv-
ering on affordable housing and the environment, I am the best candidate to beat the country’s most vulnerable GOP freshman.” In the 2020 presidential election, 49.76 percent of the voters in the redrawn district went for former Republican President Donald Trump. Democratic President Joe Biden received 49.49 percent of the vote. Taddeo’s decision to enter the congressional race was first reported by CBS Miami reporter Jim DeFede, who tweeted that in an interview Taddeo called Salazar “a demagogue, a liar and an embarrassment and someone that has not even voted in the best interests of our community.” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Julie Friedland reveled in Taddeo’s decision. “The third wheel of the Florida Democrat primary for governor, Annette Taddeo, just lost her fourth race in Florida,” Friedland said in a statement, referring to Taddeo losing races before getting elected to the state Senate in a 2017 special election. “It won’t be long until Charlie Crist follows suit.” In a statement, Crist called Taddeo a “tireless public servant and fearless advocate for working Floridians.” Fried’s campaign issued a statement that wished Taddeo well and defined the gubernatorial contest as now being between “a proven statewide Democratic winner and a three-time statewide loser and self-described ‘pro-life’ former Republican.” Fried was elected state agriculture commissioner in 2018. Crist, a U.S. House member from St. Petersburg, served as governor from 2007 to 2011 while a Republican. He unsuccessfully ran for governor as a Democrat in 2014 with Taddeo as his running mate and also earlier lost two bids for U.S. Senate. Polls compiled by Real Clear Politics showed Crist up in the Democratic primary by an average of 19.3 percentage points since February. The polling aggregator also showed Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis up on Crist by 8.8 percentage points and Fried by 12.8 percentage points. Taddeo was down 16 percentage points to DeSantis.
TALLAHASSEE --- Siding with state regulators, an administrative law judge ruled Monday that pari-mutuel cardroom employees aren’t allowed to play poker at their worksites. The state Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering has the authority to ban cardroom employees from placing wagers where they work as part of the agency’s regulatory oversight, Administrative Law Judge G.W. Chisenhall wrote. “There is a clear, logical connection between regulating cardroom operations and prohibiting cardroom employees from gambling where they work,” Chisenhall wrote. The decision came in a case filed by a Marion County pari-mutuel operator, which argued that a rule prohibiting cardroom staff members from placing wagers where they work exceeded the agency’s rule-making authority. Lawyers for South Marion Real Estate Holdings LLC, which operates as Oxford Downs, filed the challenge in March. Florida law gives the Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering “full authority and power to make, adopt, amend, or repeal rules relating to cardroom operations … and to regulate the authorized cardroom activities in the state.” The law also requires cardroom employees to have occupational licenses issued by the state. The disputed rule, which has been in effect since at least 2004, says cardroom workers with occupational licenses “are prohibited from participating in authorized cardroom games at the cardroom facility where they are employed.” But attorneys for the Marion County cardroom argued that the law doesn’t specifically grant gambling regulators the authority to ban workers from playing poker where they are employed. While the law “contains provisions restricting participation in authorized games, none of the provisions restrict cardroom occupational licensees from participating in authorized games at the facility where they are employed,”
lawyers with the Lockwood Law Firm argued in the March petition. Additionally, “nothing in (the law) authorizes the division to adopt rules imposing additional restrictions on who can participate in authorized games,” they wrote. The law restricts people younger than 18 as well as “anyone objectionable, undesirable, or disruptive” from participating in authorized games, the lawyers argued. “These provisions do not specifically authorize the division to adopt rules regulating who can participate in authorized games,” they added. But attorneys for the state argued that the prohibition “fits squarely within” the Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering’s rulemaking authority. The challenged rule “regulates cardroom operations by establishing who can play at such cardrooms,” the state’s lawyers wrote in a response filed in April. Chisenhall agreed that state law gives the agency “a grant of legislative authority” for the rule. “Therefore, it is unnecessary for the authorizing statute to explicitly delineate every conceivable subject matter within an agency’s rulemaking purview,” Chisenhall wrote Monday. The law gives regulators “broad authority to regulate cardroom operators, and prohibiting cardroom employees from gambling where they are employed is logically and integrally related to cardroom operations,” Chisenhall wrote in the 13-page order. “Distilled to its essence, petitioners’ (Oxford Downs’) argument on this point is that the authority to adopt rules relating to cardroom operations does not encompass the authority to adopt a rule prohibiting cardroom employees from participating in authorized cardroom games where they work,” Chisenhall wrote. “However, what is a more basic aspect of cardroom operations than deciding who may, and may not, patronize a cardroom?” Oxford Downs intends to appeal the order, attorney John Lockwood told The News Service of Florida on Monday.

SUPREME COURT SIDES WITH STATE ON MEDICAID MONEY JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — Nearly 14 years after a Lee County girl was catastrophically injured when she was hit by a truck, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said Florida’s Medicaid program can recoup a chunk of the money it paid for her initial care. Justices, in a 7-2 opinion, sided with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration in a case that drew attention from officials across the country. The dispute stemmed from a November 2008 accident in which Gianinna Gallardo was struck by a truck after getting off a Lee County school bus. Florida’s Medicaid program paid $862,688 to cover initial medical expenses for Gallardo, who was 13 at the time of the accident and remains in a “persistent vegetative state,” according to the Supreme Court opinion. Gallardo’s parents filed a lawsuit against the truck’s owner, its driver and the Lee County School Board and reached an $800,000 settlement. The settlement designated $35,367 for “past” medical expenses, with an unspecified amount earmarked for “future” medical expenses, according to the opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas. Citing a formula in state law, the Agency for Health Care Administration, which runs most of Florida’s Medicaid program, said it was entitled to recoup $300,000 of the $800,000 settlement. But attorneys for the Gallardo family argued that the state should not be able to recover money earmarked for future medical expenses.
DESANTIS GETS JUVENILE CHANGES, STUNT DRIVING BILL NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday received three bills from the Legislature, including one that would make changes in how long juveniles can be held in “detention care” before adjudicatory hearings. Currently, courts can only place juveniles in detention care for 21 days unless hearings have started. “However, in many juvenile cases, the time period required to commence an adjudicatory hearing far exceeds 21 days or even 30 days,” a House staff analysis of the bill (HB 7029) said. “As such, under current law, a court may be required to release a child from detention care prior to his or her adjudicatory hearing, even under circumstances where the court finds such release inappropriate.” Under the bill, a court could order juveniles to be placed in what is known as “supervised release detention care” for any period of time until adjudicatory hearings are held. Such placement would be in the custody of parents or guardians under supervi-
The Supreme Court, however, upheld a decision by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that backed the state. “Under (a section of federal law), Florida may seek reimbursement from settlement amounts representing ‘payment for medical care,’ past or future,” Thomas wrote in a 16-page opinion joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. But Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a dissent joined by Justice Stephen Breyer, wrote that the majority opinion “is inconsistent with the structure of the Medicaid program and will cause needless unfairness and disruption.” Sotomayor also wrote that Medicaid “is not a loan.” “If a Medicaid beneficiary’s financial circumstances change and a beneficiary gains the ability to pay for his or her own medical expenses, the beneficiary is not obligated to repay the state for past expenses, no matter the magnitude of the change in circumstances,” the dissent said. “Rather, the ordinary consequence is that the individual simply becomes ineligible for benefits moving forward.” Gallardo has continued to receive Medicaid benefits. Sotomayor wrote that money from the legal settlement was placed in what is known as a “special needs trust,” which can pay expenses not covered by Medicaid. The U.S. Department of Justice lined up with the Gallardo family at the Supreme Court, while 14 states and groups such as the National Conference of State Legislatures backed the Agency for Health Care Administration.
sion of the Department of Juvenile Justice, If minors have been under supervised detention for 60 days, the measure would require that separate hearings be held to determine if the supervised detention should continue. For minors who are held in detention facilities ahead of adjudicatory hearings, the measure would allow courts to extend the detention period in 21-day increments for serious offenses. However, the bill would require that separate hearings be held to determine the need to continue secure detention. Another bill sent to DeSantis on Monday would give law-enforcement officers a wider range of people to charge for already-illegal drag racing and stunt-driving events that block traffic on roads and in parking lots. The proposal (HB 399), in part, would allow police to charge people with first-degree misdemeanors, carrying a fine of up to $1,000 or a year in jail, for helping coordinate events through social media. The measure, which would take effect Oct. 1, also would expand the definitions of stunt driving during a “street takeover” to include performing a “doughnut,” “drifting,” a stationary tire “burnout,” or a “wheelie.”

FIGHT LOOMS OVER TRANSGENDER TREATMENTS IN MEDICAID JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — National and state legal and LGBTQ-advocacy groups are preparing to fight a move by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration to deny Medicaid coverage for treatments such as hormone therapy and puberty-blocking medication for transgender people. Lambda Legal, the National Health Law Program, the Florida Health Justice Project and Southern Legal Counsel issued a statement Friday, a day after the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration announced it would start a rulemaking process related to treatment for gender dysphoria. The groups sharply criticized a report that the Agency for Health Care Administration is using as a basis for the expected effort to deny Medicaid coverage for the treatments. The statement called the report “disingenuous” and said it “draws on junk science and cites discredited so-called experts to justify denying Medicaid coverage for hormone therapy and other accepted medical interventions, as well as for gender-confirming surgery.” “Should AHCA (the Agency for Health Care Administration) follow through on its clear intent to engage in a sham rulemaking charade, rather than conduct a robust and substantive process that incorporates valid science and is not predetermined, we stand ready to defend the rights of transgender people in Florida, including the right to nondiscriminatory health care coverage,” the statement said. “The lives, health and well-being of transgender Floridians are at stake.” As of Monday morning, AHCA had not published the proposed rule in the Florida Administrative Register, an initial step in the process. But in the report released Thursday, the agency targeted treatments that it said are “not consistent with generally accepted professional medical standards and are experimental and investigational.” “Following a review of available literature, clinical guidelines and coverage by other insurers and nations, Florida Medicaid has determined that the research supporting sex reassignment treatment is insufficient to demonstrate efficacy and safety,” said the report, which was signed by state Medicaid director Tom Wallace. State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo,
who doubles as secretary of the Florida Department of Health, followed later Thursday by asking the state Board of Medicine to review the AHCA findings and “establish a standard of care for these complex and irreversible procedures,” according to a copy of the request posted online by NBC News. The Board of Medicine regulates the state’s medical doctors. The moves by AHCA and Ladapo are part of series of political battles in Florida and other states about transgender issues. As an example, DeSantis in 2021 signed a law that prevents transgender females from competing on high-school girls’ and college women’s sports teams. Also, he signed a measure this year that restricts teaching about gender identity and sexual orientation in public schools. The health-care part of the debate centers on treatment for gender dysphoria, which the federal government defines as clinically “significant distress that a person may feel when sex or gender assigned at birth is not the same as their identity.” Prominent medical groups and the Biden administration support treatments for gender dysphoria. In the statement Friday, the legal and LGBTQ-advocacy groups said the state’s expected proposed rule would “deny Medicaid coverage for what is widely acknowledged to be medically necessary care for gender dysphoria.” The AHCA report said Florida’s massive Medicaid program has not had an “explicit policy” about covering puberty-blocking medication, hormone therapy and sex-reassignment surgery to treat gender dysphoria. Other states have a mixture of policies, with some banning coverage and others allowing it. By law, services provided in the Medicaid program must be deemed “medically necessary.” One test of medical necessity is whether services are consistent with “generally accepted professional medical standards” and are not “experimental or investigational.” The report’s conclusion that the genderdysphoria treatments fail that test opens the door to coverage being denied. Publishing the proposed rule would start a process that could lead to challenges before a state administrative law judge.
