Public Works Compound Generator
 
Requester: Frank DeCelles Organization: City of Plantation
 
Project Title: Public Works Compound Generator Date Submitted 1/13/2006 4:16:26 PM
 
Sponsors: Rich
 
Statewide Interest:
The City of Plantation is situated 8 miles from the Atlantic Ocean near Ft. Lauderdale, 10 miles to the west is the Everglades. During the summer months, severe thunderstorms form over the area daily. Hurricane season exacerbates the severe weather threat. These 2 factors compound the possibility for a power outage. The need for an emergency generator is identified and substantiated in the Florida Statutes, local, county, and in state emergency operations plans.
