The situation in areas of Citrus and Polk counties is improving, but the rate of improvement is very slow. In some areas the water has only dropped 6-7 inches even though no measurable rain has fallen in 3 or more weeks. If the water continues to fall this slowly the levels will continue to be very high well into hurricane season. This situation exists in a number of counties in central Florida. The extension will provide ESF 1 with the supporting authority to request reimbursement through the FHWA Emergency Relief Funding Program and to use a modified emergency contract to make repairs.
Staff remain available via pager.
