Seminole County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) <br />1. Aircraft Accident <br />Seminole County has three (3) smaller air strips on the east side of Seminole County <br />in Geneva, Lake Harney area, and Chuluota capable of landing a small aircraft (i.e. <br />Cessna). In addition, many smaller planes use lakes as landing and take-off <br />locations. The largest airport in Seminole County is an international airport inside the <br />City of Sanford. The Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) is situated on <br />approximately 2,000 acres in the boundaries of the City of Sanford in the <br />northwestern section of Seminole County. The Sanford Airport Authority is <br />responsible for the operation, maintenance, and development of the SFB airstrips. In <br />the year 2007, the SFB statistics included 294,781 landings and takeoffs; 7,496 tons <br />of cargo; and 1,780,495 passenger arrivals and departures. A majority of the <br />passengers arriving and departing from SFB are international travelers. <br />Buildings infrastructure and critical facilities have some potential for impact by this <br />disaster. However, because impact areas are undefined an exact value of dollar loss <br />cannot be determined. <br />Specific Geographic Areas of Vulnerability: <br />• City of Sanford <br />• Unincorporated areas of Seminole County near Geneva, Lake Harney <br />and Chuluota <br />Statistical data related to previous occurrences was unavailable for inclusion in this <br />Plan, but will be developed and incorporated into the next Plan update. <br />Level of Vulnerability: Minimal to moderate <br />Extent: Minor to moderate <br />Consequences: <br />- evacuations <br />- notification and warning <br />- public information <br />- mass care <br />- mass casualty/fatality <br />- law enforcement/traffic control <br />- large scale contamination issues <br />- mass decontamination <br />- overcrowded hospitals <br />- contaminated land and/or water <br />- animal issues (relocation, medical) <br />- environmental damage/loss <br />- psychological needs <br />- communications failure <br />- civil unrest <br />2.
