Director of Emergency Management, John King is responsible for Fire Services, Emergency Medical Services, Animal Control
and any other emergency situation. His presentation summarized the 2004 hurricane season and its impact on emergency
services (in Indian River County).
Excerpts from his report follow:
On September 5, 2004, Hurricane Frances presented 105 mph winds for an extended period of time and on
September 25, 2004, Hurricane Jeanne presented winds in excess of 120 mph to Vero Beach. During Frances, 86% of I. R.
County residents were without electricity for up to 14 days and during Jeanne electrical outages lasted up to 12 days ...For a
community to function normally, 70% of the electricity must be operational and at the 40% level there are no schools,
businesses, etc.
There were 41,00o homes in our county that received damage and 8,300 received major (rendered uninhabitable)
damage. There were 1047 FEMA mobile homes 69 ordinary mobile homes and 90 modular homes (in Gifford) utilized as a
result of the storms. Debris removal was a staggering 680,541 cubic yards
In terms of distribution, there were over 1.5 million pounds of ice; 135,000 gallons of water; 252,000 MRE's (meals
ready to eat) and 9300 blue tarps given out.
(End)
Sebastian Municipal Airport became the primary base for FEMA and emergency service providers following the hurricanes.
This photo shows over 350 utility trucks staged at Sebastian Municipal Airport, ready for their morning departure to
locations throughout Indian River County. It was an incredible sight to see motorist yielding on Roseland Road getting out

of their cars to wave and cheer as utility crew members motored away to begin their daily missions. The parade of exiting
trucks lasted over an hour!
Thousands of utility crew members ate meals; rested; had laundry processed; and received store item essentials at facilities
set up at the airport.
One runway (04 -22) remained open for air traffic (see top of photo). Emergency personnel traveling in general aviation
aircraft used Sebastian Municipal Airport to go about their business of coordinating emergency relief. The Governor also
paid a visit to Sebastian, arriving by air, to see firsthand the needs of the county and to observe emergency responding teams
in action. Medical flights made use of the open runway. Remember, this was a time when most of the county was without
electrical power, trees and debris covered roadways making road travel both difficult and dangerous, many fuel stations were
without fuel or without the ability to pump fuel, and a night time general public curfew was in effect the point being, the
airport played a major part in helping Sebastian and Indian River County get back on its feet and return to normal.
I think the subject of this story is something that makes us all happy and proud that Sebastian Municipal Airport is open and
available as a community resource. Civic leaders are wise to take note when it comes time to act on airport budgets for
maintenance, staffing, and improvements. Citizens are wise to appreciate that Sebastian airport is more than a location for
Flight Safety to send aircraft to go round and round in circles.

Subject: Re: Playground Park within the RPZ
Joe,
No, a proposed playground park would not be allowed within the RPZ.
The problem with the proposed playground park is the congregation of people within the
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) and that the land would be categorized as incompatible land
use for this type of development. If an airport has a clear RPZ, FAA would want for the
airport sponsor to maintain this area free of any proposed structures.
Per FAA AC 150/5300 -13, Airport Design
DEFINITION
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) An area off the runway end to enhance the
protection of people and property on the ground.
212. RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE (RPZ).
The RPZ's function is to enhance the protection of people and property
on the ground. This is achieved through airport owner control over RPZs.
Such control includes clearing RPZ areas (and maintaining them clear) of
incompatible objects and activities. Control is preferably exercised
through the acquisition of sufficient property interest in the RPZ.
212. RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE (RPZ), paragraph (b)
(b) Land uses prohibited from the RPZ are residences and places of
public assembly. (Churches, schools, hospitals, office buildings,
shopping centers, and other uses with similar concentrations of persons
typify places of public assembly.) Fuel storage facilities may not be
located in the RPZ.
Per FAA Order JO 7400.2G
"While the structure does not constitute a hazard to air navigation, it
would be located within the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) of the
1
airport /runway. Structures, which will result in the congregation of
people within an RPZ, are strongly discouraged in the interest of
protecting people and property on the ground."
Per FAA AIP Sponsor Guide
"The airport owner is required to have a sufficient interest in the
Runway Protection Zones to protect the Runway Protection Zones from both
obstructions and incompatible land use." non aeronautical activity.
Compatible land use within the RPZ is generally restricted to such land
uses as agricultural, golf course, and similar uses that do not involve
congregations of people or construction of buildings or other
improvements that may be obstructions. "The following land use criteria
apply within the RPZ: (a) While it is desirable to clear all objects
from the RPZ, some uses are permitted, provided they do not attract
wildlife, are outside the Runway OFA, and do not interfere with
navigational aids. Automobile parking facilities, although discouraged,
may be permitted, provided the parking facilities and any associated
appurtenances, in addition to meeting all of the preceding conditions,
are located outside of the object free area extension. (B) Land uses
prohibited from the RPZ are: residences and places of public assembly.
(Churches, schools, hospitals, office buildings, shopping centers, and
other uses with similar concentrations of persons typify places of
public assembly.)"
Per the information provided above, this proposed development is not a compatible land use
with airport operations. Therefore, we object to this proposal.

Pedro Blanco

Pedro: I left you a VM on this subject but wanted to back that up w /this
mailing.
The idea is being floated of putting an observation area /small playground /park in
the RPZ for RW 08. I have checked the regs regarding permanent structures in a RPZ but it
is a little hazy on playgrounds -our proposal would be small I believe -any proposal
would also be vetted for
your approval. Thanks on this, best to you; JG @APHQ
