| Hurricane Shelter Shuttering Project February 2005 |
During the planning portion of the project the Capital Area Chapter provided the manpower to complete a wide variety of activities including site visits and working on the $3,500,000 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) application that was submitted by the Leon County Sheriff's Office Division of Emergency Management to the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs.
In February of 2005 the shutter instalation was complete. Working together the Leon County Sheriff's Office Division of Emergency Management, the Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Leon County School District were able to establish 20,000 additional safe shelter spaces for evacuees fleeing hurricanes threatening the Big Bend Region.

Each of the shelter locations which were chosen for the shutter project had first been inspected using the American Red Cross - Standards for Hurricane Evacuation Shelter Selection ARC Form # 4496 to determine their suitability for the project. |

The shutters featured in this photo expose are on the
buildings of Florida High School in the southeastern portion of the Leon County. In addition to
