Go Pompano! Update:

A Race to the Drawing Board!

From April through July 2019, the City of Pompano Beach held a series of 36 public outreach meetings on the GO Pompano! projects. During the meetings, the City gathered tons of helpful ideas from you and your neighbors. Now that the City has your ideas in hand, it’s a race to the drawing board! There are only a couple more steps before our designers can put pen to paper on the GO Pompano! projects. Here’s what needs to be done before the City starts the design phase, and a look at some exciting milestones:

Step 1: Approval of Builder Contracts

Step 4: Lifeguard Stations Complete

The City has approved all Construction Management at Risk

Step 2: Project Kickoff Meetings Now that the City has heard from residents, City departments have met with design and construction teams on each project to relay your ideas as well as theirs. These meetings took place throughout the month of September.

Step 3: Design (Phase I)

Step 5: Breaking Ground on MLK Jr., Boulevard & Amphitheater Covering Also by the end of the year, the City expects to break ground on the improvements to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, as well as the Amphitheater Renovation as long as it doesn’t conflict with planned concerts and events.

Now that the City’s heard from residents,

This year there will be even more exciting changes. For the first time ever, the viewing area has been moved to Taha Marine on Riverside Drive, just north of the Atlantic Boulevard Bridge. This will be open to the public and admission is only $10.00, which can be purchased through the Pompano Beach Margate Lighthouse Point Chamber of Commerce beginning November 1st. People can view the parade, mingle with their neigh-

bors, get food from the food trucks and enjoy the event. In addition to the party at Taha, there will be a second public viewing area with grandstands at Scott Winters Memorial Park on N. Riverside Drive, just south of the 14th Street Causeway free to the public. Mark your calendar and don’t miss out on our annual holiday parade festivities!

Lessons Learned

from Hurricane Dorian

and Old Adages to Remember

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old expression often used to describe situations where the outcome is far from certain:

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as unpredictable

as the weather! While it is indisputable that meteorology has made great strides in forecasting severe weather events, nothing is ever certain when it comes to weather until it is actually happening. For many of us Floridians, that was the case when Hurricane Dorian threatened a large portion of the Florida East Coast. While the storm churned, many forecasts placed Pompano Beach in the cone of uncertainty. We watched in real time as media posts and broadcasts showed the devastation of the storm as it began its assault on the Bahamas. We watched and waited for the storm to take its predicted turn northward for what seemed an eternity.

Finally, the

storm veered, hugging our coastline on its trek towards the Carolinas. We are grateful to have been spared, heartbroken for our Bahamian neighbors, and exhausted by all the efforts we made in preparation for the storm. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the takeaway? What have we learned?

It is better to be safe than sorry! This is the most important lesson to be learned -- safety is always the number one priority.

If you have lived in any

part of Florida in the past 30 years, you

thorities to evacuate, do so when you are told. Do not risk your health and safety, or worse, become a casualty of a storm.

Always be prepared! Hurricane season starts June 1st and ends November 30th. That’s a full six months -- half of a year in which you need to be prepared. Don’t wait until a storm is headed our way. This year, make it your New Year’s resolution to be hurricane-ready.

Keep a stockpile

of non-perishable and canned items in your pantry or closet. It will save you the aggravation of long lines, empty shelves, and fighting over the last jug of water in the supermarket.

The sooner, the better! Preparations for our homes must be done early as well. Schedule yard maintenance to ensure it is completed before June 1st. It is too late to start trimming trees once we are in the cone of uncertainty of a storm. At that point, placing yard debris at your curb for bulk pickup

Timing is everything! The 72-hour period that precedes a large-scale weather event is NOT the time to place bulk trash out for collection. Crews will be prioritizing the removal of as much debris as they can to clear our streets before the storm; setting out a couch or mattress for bulk collection will only slow down the process. Again, with a storm threatening landfall, there’s a strong probability that your items will not get removed.

Keep calm and carry on! After a storm has passed, returning to a normal routine is the goal. Traditional garbage, bulk and recycling collection service may be temporarily suspended during this time. Crews must focus on clearing debris from the streets and making it safe to travel around town. It’s okay to set out furniture, drywall, or rugs and carpeting that are soaked and damaged from flooding. These items should be removed from your home before mold and mildew can grow and possibly cause health issues for your family. Put water damaged items in your gray garbage cart or in a separate pile for pick up. Do not combine damaged household items with the yard waste; vegetative yard waste is disposed of separately, and commingling these two types of waste slows down the debris collection process. Make sure the pile of discarded items is placed on the swale (in the right of way) between the curb and the sidewalk; crews are not permitted to collect anything directly from your yard or driveway. In order to allow for maneuverability of the

Flood Damage The Flood Hazard Everyone should know their flood zone! Call the City Building Division at (954) 786-4670 to find out: • If a building is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area or not. • If a property is subject to erosion. • If the site area has local drainage problems, especially during heavy rain storms. • If the property is in an area that has had flood insurance claims filed repeatedly. • If there is an elevation certificate on file for a building. • To access the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City. Property Protection • Elevate furniture and other household valuables and electrical appliances, or move them to higher floors. • Place sandbags in strategic places around your property. Sandbags can slow down and divert flood waters. • Regrading your property to provide for better storage of stormwater runoff, in stalling an earthen berm along the perimeter, and elevating the existing structure are good flood damage protection practices. Some flood protection methods require a construction permit so always call the Building Division before making any alterations to your property at 954.786.4670. Staff can offer suggestions and visit your site to offer property protection advice. If you see a project that does not have a permit sign, please contact the Building Division to report the possible violation. Flood Safety • Obey evacuation orders from officials. Only mobile homes and areas east of US1 to have to evacuate. • Know your evacuation zone and route, and shelter locations. Find your evacuation zone at Broward.org/ Emergency or go to the City’s disaster preparedness web page at www.pomanobeachfl.gov/getready

{Protect Your Home and Property}

• Stay away from power lines and electrical wires. Electrical current can travel through water. • Do not drive through flooded roadways. Roads may not be distinguishable from canals or ponds. • Do not walk through flowing waters. Flood Insurance • Everyone in Florida should purchase a flood insurance policy to protect their building and/or its contents, whether in a SFHA or not! • Most homeowners’ or renters’ insurance policies do not cover property losses due to flood waters. • Please note that there is usually a 30 day waiting period after purchase before coverage takes effect. • The City of Pompano Beach participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System program (CRS), which provides a discount on all flood insurance policies. • Call your insurance agent today to purchase flood insurance. If you don’t have an agent, go to the FloodSmart.gov website, or call 1-800 427-4661 for help. The City is available to assist. Call 954.786.4045. Stormwater Management Water from rain storms is managed through a system of pipes and drainage canals. Constant water flow through canals, especially during heavy storms, is essential to flood damage protection in the City. City and State laws prohibit dumping trash in waterways. Please report violators to the Public Works Department at 954.786.4637. Only Storm Water Down the Drain • Please keep in mind that it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that our water ways are kept clean. • Oils, lawn clippings and other substances should never be put down a storm drain. • If you see someone improperly

/ / N ove m b e r 2 019

disposing of waste into the storm drain system or waterways, or any other illicit discharge, please call the Public Works Department at 954.786.4637.

Benefits of Natural Floodplains Natural areas of the City typically collect and retain stormwater runoff during rainfall events which can reduce the flooding levels within the developed areas of the City. These natural areas also enhance the water quality of stormwater runoff by filtering through the ground. Sand dunes on the beach are nature’s protection against inland flooding from waves and high tides accompanying major storms. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect these natural areas and keep them clean! Sea Level Rise The consequences of sea level rise in Pompano Beach may include the following impacts: • Increased frequency of flooding in coastal and inland areas, • socio-economic impacts such as displacement, • decreases in property values and tax base, and • increases in insurance costs. • Visit www.Broward.orgclimate/pages/ default.aspx for more information about sea level rise. For More Information • Go to the City’s Emergency Management webpage at pompanobeachfl.gov/getready or call 954.545.7799. • Broward County Emergency Man agement Department website at www.Broward.org/Emergency. • Go to the Pompano Beach website at www.PompanoBeachFL.gov and go to the Development Services Division page for flood info, or call 954.786.4629. • Twitter: @mypompanobeach • Facebook: Pompano Beach City Hall. • The Broward County Public Library has many flood-related documents. Search the catalog for “flood” and “FEMA”.
