European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 28, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Florida evacuation plans called too slow Miami up a residents would need nearly four Days to evacuate from Southeast Florida if another major Hurricane threatened the area during the fall tourist season a new study says. Since Hurricane Andrew hit South Dade county on aug. 24 with winds of 145 Mph gusting to 175 Mph the army corps of engineers has been studying How Many people would have to leave a and How Many would want to leave a when the next Hurricane approaches. The conclusion so Many people will try to leave that it would take As much As 9414 hours a three Days 22 hours and 15 minutes a to Clear Southeast Florida. But Hurricane forecasters cannot give that much of a warning with any accuracy. Ninety three hours before Andrew struck it was a tropical storm about 1,200 Miles from Miami. Bob sheets director of the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables said that the Center can give Only about a Day of warning to get out and that evacuation times should be less than 24 hours.

Homestead s ruins yield lode of equipment Homestead fab Fla. A the air Force has found an estimated $40 million Worth of salvageable equipment under the rubble that Hurricane Andrew spread across this sprawling base. Cleanup Crews have recovered everything from computers and aircraft testing equipment to rubber boots and gloves. But because the bases future remains Uncertain most of the gear is destined to be shipped to other bases. A we just want to get this stuff somewhere it can be used a said col. Steve Plummer the base commander. He was one of 18 air Force personnel who huddled in homesteads sturdiest hangar aug. 24 to ride out the storm. When he emerged to Survey the damage the scene was Bleak. Everywhere the bases Brown Utility buildings had been turned into twisted heaps of Iron beams and corrugated Sheet Metal roofing. A Green c-130 Hercules transport plane was buried under rubble and two f-16 fighter jets had been sucked from their hangars punching holes in the hangar doors. Many planes and trucks had been ruined. But Strong Metal containers protected much of the bases inventory of spare parts electronic gear and computer hardware from even a scratch. Virtually All of the More than 2,000 buildings on the 3,400-acre base were damaged. So far Salvage Crews have Only managed to Check about two dozen structures. But in one Supply warehouse Crews pulled an estimated $30 million in gear. About $9 million in aircraft parts was cleaned out of another building Plummer said. For years officials have been trying to persuade people in flood zones to evacuate during a Hurricane. Now these officials have to try to Tell their neighbors a those who Are not in flood areas a to stay said Tony Reardon a spokeswoman for the state department of emergency management. In Advance of Hurricane Andrew about 900,000 people were asked to evacuate said Rob Anderson a spokesman for the state department of Community affairs in Tallahassee. The study says the shortest evacuation time would be about 27 hours for the weakest summer Hurricane. Hurricane season begins june 1 and runs through november. The proposed solutions include a blocking roads in Dade Broward and Palm Beach counties at some Point during the evacuation so that no one else can leave and clog the roads. That is already done in the keys. A calling for a voluntary evacuation Days before a storm threatens a Region. A making roads out of South Florida one Way to Speed up evacuation traffic.
