This is an important message from the Walton County Emergency Operations Center and the Public Information Office of Walton County.

Hurricane Katrina is being monitored and has the potential to make landfall in or near Walton County. The Walton County Board of County Commissioners has approved a Local State of Emergency in connection with Hurricane Katrina effective Friday, August 26, 2005 to begin preparation for this storm. The following measures will be in effect to protect the health and safety of residents and visitors:

• A voluntary evacuation of guests in the low lying areas, including those in RV parks or mobile home parks south of Highway 20 will begin at 12 pm on Saturday, August 27, 2005.
• Walton County public beaches will be closed at 8 am, on Sunday, August 28, 2005, to remove TDC beach services and prepare for the storm.
• All Walton County offices and facilities will be close on Monday, August 29, 2005.
• All contractors doing work on the beaches should have all equipment and materials removed from the beach by the close of the business day on Saturday.

A voluntary evacuation of residents in the low lying areas, including those in RV parks or mobile home parks south of Highway 20 will begin on Sunday, August 28, 2005 at 7 am. However, a mandatory evacuation may be issued earlier depending on weather conditions. Everyone is reminded the Choctawhatchee Bay Bridge will be closed when sustained winds reach 40 m.p.h.

When the bridge is closed to traffic there will be no means of leaving south Walton County because Bay and Okaloosa counties also close their bridges to thru traffic.
Freeport High School on U.S. 331 north of Freeport will be the nearest shelter for those evacuating. Freeport will also serve as the special needs shelter. The Shelter will open at 7 am on Sunday, August 28, 2005.

Persons evacuating should be aware that:

• Animals are not accepted at the shelters.
• People with special needs should bring a three day supply all their medicines, water and food, including special foods. They should also bring a list of their medical conditions and contact names and numbers for doctors, home health agency serving them, and an emergency contact.

Remember the shelter is not a hospital or a clinic and should be used by those with medical conditions that have no other evacuation options. There will be no doctor, acute care nurses, specialty care nurses or caretakers at the shelter. Those who need assistance with activities of daily living must bring a caregiver as necessary for 24 hour care, because there will not be staff
available to meet those needs.

Those reporting to the shelter should bring the following items:
• ID
• Sleeping bag or bedding
• Special dietary items
• Flashlight, change of clothing, rain gear
• Infant needs, toys for children
• Personal snacks
• A good book
• Alcohol is not allowed in the shelters.

The Emergency Operations Center is responding to events as they occur in connection with this storm. Emergency calls should be made to 911, all other calls can be directed to 892-8392 or 892-8394. Residents and visitors should stay tuned to local media for current news and developments on Hurricane Katrina.

The American Red Cross of Northwest Florida is seeking volunteers from
the community to assist with shelter operations in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina.

"Additional local volunteers will be needed to support the relief effort
in Northwest Florida. We anticipate providing shelter and meals for
storm evacuees in the days following Katrina's landfall," said Rosanne
Kelly, Senior Director of Volunteers.

The Red Cross will provide free on-the-job training with an experienced
shelter manager.

Those interested in becoming a disaster volunteer should call their
nearest Red Cross office:

Escambia County - 850.432.7601
Santa Rosa County - 850.626.7333
Okaloosa County - 850.682.3356
Walton County - 850.892.6297

All American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by
voluntary donations of time and money from the American people. You can
help the victims of Hurricane Katrina and thousands of other disasters
across the country each year by making a financial gift to the American
Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to provide
shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need. Call
1-800-HELP NOW or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish). Contributions to the

Hurricane Katrina News Release #13


This is an important message from the Walton County Emergency Operations
Center and the Public Information Office of Walton County.

The Beaches of South Walton will reopen on Wednesday, August 31, 2005,
but double red flags are flying and water activities are prohibited
until further notice. Beachgoers are urged to use caution and
protective foot wear when on the beach. Debris may be just beneath the
sand on the beach.

The Emergency Operations Center and the Tourist Development Council are
evaluating the water conditions daily.

Updates:

U.S. 98 in Okaloosa County is open
The I-10 bridge over Escambia Bay is now open
The 3-Mile Bridge between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze is open
Garcon Point Bridge is open and tolls will be reinstated on Wednesday at
6 am.
For information about road closures and evacuation information call
1-800-342-3557.
Evacuees desiring information on Louisiana/Mississippi should call
1-866-438-4636
Anyone desiring to donate assistance in the relief efforts should call
1-800-FL HELP 1(1-800-354-3571)
Want to help? Visit www.volunteerflorida.org.
To report price gouging call the Florida Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services at 1-800-435-7352.

We have received a number of calls regarding road closures and
accessing Beaches of South Walton due to the storm. We are referring
visitors the Department of Transportation in each state so they may plan
alternate routes. See contact info below.

In addition, many accommodations are housing evacuees from affected
states who may wish to contact FEMA. Please have them call FEMA at
1-800-621-3362.

Last but not least, we've had a number of questions regarding debris
removal prior to Labor Day. Crowder-Gulf is still under contract and
will continue completing the third pass. If you have specific concerns,
please contact the TDC.

We are fortunate in that Beaches of South Walton experienced a
relatively small storm surge from Hurricane Katrina. We are currently
assessing the status of our beaches, however it appears the area faired
very well with only minor dune erosion.
The beaches are currently closed until the water recedes, which is
expected to occur within the next 24 hours. Once the beach reopens,
beachgoers will be urged to use caution as there may be debris on the
beach and in the water.
We anticipate there will be minimal debris, since all three passes of
debris removal from Hurricane Dennis were nearly complete before the
storm arrived. Fortunately, no boardwalks were destroyed and the TDC
will continue rebuilding the 21 dune walkovers to provide beach access
to each community.

It appears that the emergency beach scraping efforts were successful and
that very little "new" bluff or dune erosion has occurred. No additional
erosion is expected. In addition, it appears that Katrina pushed some of
the sand taken off our beaches from Dennis back on shore.

Host Shelter open in DeFuniak Springs - Walton County refuge for Hurricane Katrina evacuees

A Red Cross "Host Shelter" for Hurricane Katrina evacuees opened in DeFuniak Springs on Wednesday, August 31. The shelter is located in the DeFuniak Springs National Guard Armory on North 9th Street. Capacity of this shelter is about 200 people.

The American Red Cross has advised that the previously published hotline number (866) GET-HELP has been overwhelmed by calls requesting information on families in the storm-affected area. The Red Cross will be providing direct assistance to disaster clients in reaching their families as those clients are sheltered. The (866) GET-HELP number will no longer provide welfare inquiry assistance. In the event there is a medical or mental health emergency and someone in the impacted area needs to be located or contacted, families here in Walton County should contact the Crestview branch of the American Red Cross, (850) 682-3356.

The American Red Cross of Northwest Florida is the primary agency for Emergency Support Function 6 (Mass Care) and Emergency Support Function 15 (Volunteers and Donations) in our Emergency Management network.

Local residents who want to help people in the area affected by the storm are encouraged to visit www.volunteerflorida.org on-line, or call (800) FL HELP (354-3571). Cash donations to the various organizations that are already set up to provide assistance will be the most effective means of helping the most people. This is because of the difficulty in getting foods, clothing, blankets, and other relief materials into the affected area.

Residents who want to help the evacuees who have reached our area, particularly those staying in the host shelter, are encouraged to make contributions of clothing, blankets, etc. to Caring and Sharing of Walton County. They are located at 1122 State Highway 83 in DeFuniak Springs, phone 892-7656. The Red Cross will be distributing vouchers to evacuees that may be used at Caring and Sharing for their needs while in the shelter.

Hurricane Katrina Update #3

Now that waves have receded the TDC staff was able to access the beach,
and provided the following damage assessment for the beach and dune
system in Walton County. Overall, the beaches faired well. As
mentioned previously, this is not surprising considering our distance
from landfall and the relatively small storm surge and onshore wave
heights. It appears that little "new" bluff or dune erosion has
occurred, and up to one foot of sand may have been gained along the toe
of dune in many areas. The reason for this lack of erosion is due to a
variety of factors, most importantly, the size of the storm. The storm
surge was minimal (approximately 3 feet) and the associated wave height
was restricted by the lack of storm surge. Another factor that offered
protection to our beach and dune systems were the assisted recovery
efforts that took place, including beach scraping by the county and
truck hauling by individuals.

Beach erosion appears to be somewhat intermittent. While all beach
areas appear to be narrower post-storm, elevation losses are mostly
apparent where peat outcroppings exist. There is more exposed peat
along Walton County beaches than has ever existed in the past. Some
areas in Seagrove and Seacrest are impassable due to the extensive
erosion around those features. The peat outcroppings appear so dramatic
because they are much more resilient to wave energy and do not erode as
quickly as our sand areas. Therefore, they stick up out of the sand and
are more than two feet higher than the surrounding beach in some areas.
We will monitor the beach over the coming weeks to see how much sand
returns naturally to cover these deposits. We anticipate some natural
nourishment but believe that they will not be covered completely without
a beach restoration project.

Overall, we were EXTREMELY lucky. Our beaches suffered minor erosion
with some areas showing more dramatic losses when peat was uncovered.
Our dune systems sustained minor erosion and almost no new dune or bluff
was lost. We expect to continue beach scraping next week with the goal
of reconstructing emergency protection at the toe of the dunes.
Boardwalk repairs will resume next week as well.
