Wilma Preparedness
Road Rangers
–
–
–
–
Ten (10) Placed at Multiple Facilities
Meal Provisions
Generator at Base
Sleeping Bags at TMC
Numerous Inter-Agency Coordination Meetings
– Possible Contra Flow on I-75
– SEFRTOC SOGs - 6 Agencies
– Determined Road Ranger Schedule
During the Storm
Road Rangers
– Safe Conditions Provided
– Close to Dispatchers
– Available for Immediate Return
SMART SunGuide TMC
– Operations and IT Staff Remained at Facility
– All In-House Systems Functioned
– Building Lost Power, but Remained Online
– Nextel Phone Service Intermittent
As the Storm Cleared
Road Rangers
– Surveyed Road and Cleared Debris with FHP and FDOT
– Resumed normal operating levels during daytime hours only
– 8 remained operational until 3 a.m. with FHP officer to
accompany on site for safety
– 10 placed at FHP locations at night
Communication Difficulties
– Highland Wireless Broward System -- Completely offline
– Nextel Service -- Rarely worked
– Backup Highland Wireless Miami System -- Used, but
provided poor coverage
– FDOT D6 95 Bravo system -- Limited to vehicle-to-vehicle
operations only.
As the Storm Cleared (Cont.)
SMART SunGuide TMC
– Unable to communicate with Field Devices
– Phone, Fax, and Internet unavailable
– Majority of in-house systems powered down to
conserve battery life
– Fuel availability was major concern
– Severe Incident Response Vehicle (SIRV) resumed
duties at 2 p.m. post-storm
– Field inspections began for damage assessment
– TMC closed at 6 p.m. due to curfew
What Failed? / What Worked?
What Failed?
– Communications
– Power
What Worked?
– Critical DMS & CCTV
– TMCs
– D4 HQ
Critical Systems / Sites
Ten (10) Critical DMS
sites selected
Eight (8) Sites required
generator hook up
Additional sites sharing
DMS and CCTV also
chosen for generators
How’d we do it???
TOTAL TEAM EFFORT!
Whatever it took in a controlled
environment
D4 Maintenance opened fuel pumps
H-contracts to get necessary hardware and
services for recovery
Interdepartmental Contracts
HAVE A PLAN – STICK TO IT!!!
Effect on Staff
Work vs. Home balance
People assessment
Travel, Utilities, Food & Water
Offered Generators
SIRV Operator drove to employee
homes to check on them
Changed Schedules due to Curfew
Dedication
Management’s Commitment to Staff
Operations and IT Staff on duty
throughout
Road Rangers
– 10 on duty during Storm
– Full Staff all weekend prior and shortly after
storm
The Days which Followed
SMART SunGuide TMC
– Fuel commitments obtained for TMC generator
– Telephone, fax, and internet restored
– Nextel gradually improved
– Highland Wireless placed equipment on
Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) tower.
– 24 hour operations (with 12-hr. shifts)
– Bought Cingular phone to communicate with
FHP
The Days which Followed
(Cont.)
Road Rangers
– Trucks dispatched from TMC
– Trucks operating at night with FHP escort for safety
ITS Maintenance
–
–
–
–
Full inspections of ITS devices began
Connected temporary generator power to DMSs
Generators placed on catwalks for security
Generators refueled approx. every twelve (12) hours
The Days which Followed
(Cont.)
Accomplishments
Minimal damage to ITS Infrastructure
Critical DMS Sites displaying messages
Securing Fuel for TMC, Road Rangers,
DOT Vehicles, and generators
Partnering with BSO enabled Highland
Wireless to add equipment
Coordination with TMC collocated partner –
Broward County Traffic Engineering Div.
Return on Investment
Buried Fiber & Sturdiness of ITS
Infrastructure
– Focus became return to service, not renovation
of infrastructure
Fiber Connection to D6
– Connectivity between D4 Buildings
TIM Participation led to better Agency
partnering
– Road Rangers, FHP, BSO
Lessons Learned
NOT IF, BUT WHEN…
Owning, Maintaining, and Operating own systems
affords option for reliability or redundancy
Effects on motorists
– RRs less available
– DMS unavailable to display critical messages
“Always Available” Utilities are taken for granted
TMC was not a “Priority” for FPL
Expectations from Others
Lessons Learned (Cont.)
FUEL
– Dangers of Road Rangers carrying fuel
– 1000 gallons of diesel fuel daily to operate
TMC generator
– Size UPS large enough
PREPLAN! Emergency conditions causes
price escalations, which seem to all relate
back to fuel costs.
