Unified Command continues assessment of vessels affected by Hurricane Irma, prioritizes displaced vessel removal
|
|
Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission
The Emergency Support Function 10 (ESF 10) Florida, consisting of multiple state and federal agencies, is continuing efforts to assess and remove hazards in the wake of Hurricane Irma.
Coast Guard and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission members are conducting assessments of damaged and sunken vessels in the areas most affected by Hurricane Irma. These assessments assist in providing an overarching image to the unified command of the effects of the storm, allowing for the effective placement of assets, expediting the response process.
"The response to Irma is a collaborative effort," said Benjamin Franco, Environmental Protection Agency Incident Commander for the response. "Every member of this team, both local, state and federal, is bringing to bear all of their expertise, experience, and the assets necessary for an expeditious conclusion to this response. Our hearts go out to those citizens impacted by Hurricane Irma and we will make every effort to ensure their needs are being addressed."
"This command has found that all sunk and derelict vessels resulting from Hurricane Irma are a threat to the environment and our mission is to remove this threat," said Cmdr. JoAnne Hanson, Coast Guard Incident Commander for the response. "The first priority is to remove actively polluting vessels. Second to that are the vessels that aren't actively polluting, but where a potential for pollution exists."
The following list represents an approximate number of vessels impacted by Hurricane Irma currently being assessed by each ESF 10 Branch Hazardous Material Assessment Team as of Sept. 25, 2017. These numbers are subject to change as more owners salvage their vessels and additional vessels are discovered in the affected areas and offshore assessments are conducted.

"Our hearts go out to those citizens impacted by Hurricane Irma and we will make every effort to ensure their needs are being addressed," Franco said.
"This command has found that all sunk and derelict vessels resulting from Hurricane Irma are a threat to the environment and our mission is to remove this threat," said Cmdr.
