As Irma Leaves The Southern Gulf Coast, CIRT Rideout Teams Deployed To Affected Areas To Begin Completing Damage Assessments Once Conditions Become Safe. 9-10-17

FMIT Alert Level 5
High

FMIT Discussion:

• CIRT Rideout Teams deployed to affected areas to begin completing initial damage assessments once conditions are safe enough to do so.
• Members in affected areas have begun submitting damage assessments. Please ensure that all saftey precautions are taken when performing damage assessments.
• FMIT is actively performing CAT Response Procedures in Orlando. The EOC in Orlando will be staffed throughout the event and can be contacted through the FMIT CAT number above or by emailing irma@flcities.com.
• Irma continues up the Gulf Coast of Florida as a CAT 2 Hurricane with winds of 110mph. Further weakening is projected as it travels up the coastline.
• FMIT EOC will be the communication point for Members to report damages & contact FMIT so we can handle the logistics of getting assistance to FMIT Members.
• FMIT will be able to respond to Member needs once the conditions are safe to do so. This will be a massive debris creating & public safety event and most roads may be impassable for the first 24-72+ hours after the event. We will do our best to assist, but will keep the safety of local personnel as our top priority.
• FMIT Members can assist FMIT Ride-Out teams by notifying Public Safety personnel in advance that FMIT CIRT teams & Emergency Response Vendors under the Turnkey Recovery Program will be on the ground and will need access to locations that may be safe to access, but may be restricted to the public by Public Safety procedures. The sooner we can access assets to gather Damage Assessments, the sooner we can help you recover. Some Members are indicating that they will have their personnel escort FMIT Ride-Out Team (CIRT) personnel to expedite the process.
• Please be patient if contacting FMIT/Synergy as our incoming call volume, requests for simpliCity and Trackdown login information and other information is increasing as the storm passes through Florida. Please leave a message if you get our voicemail. We will get to your requests as soon as possible.
