Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The project consists of the construction of a disaster shelter for the citizens of Milton, Santa Rosa County and the State of Florida. The facility is to be designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. The facility will serve as a shelter for those who are required to evacuate and at others times will be used as a recreational facility for area residents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

The facility will serve the citizens of Florida as a destination point when other areas of the state must evacuate due to natural disasters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Safer, more accessible and more spacious quarters for housing evacuees during natural disasters. This will also, hopefully, decrease traffic congestion during natural disaster evacuation peridos.
