Critical Facility Vulnerability Analysis Specific attention was paid to health care facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes; emergency response agencies, hazardous materials, mobile home parks, schools and colleges and community centers. Each facility has the name, location, latitude/longitude coordinates, description, critical code and results of the 2010 surge analysis (completed as part of the Florida Statewide Regional Evacuation Study for the Central Florida Region) based on the most accurate topographic data and the SLOSH model. The Critical Facility Inventory (database) includes a comprehensive list of critical facilities identified by the State and County Emergency Management Agencies. This inventory is not published as part of the report. However, selected facilities which may require evacuation or mitigation are identified in the tables and maps which follow. The tables indicate vulnerability from storm surge (based on the SLOSH model), freshwater flooding (based on the FEMA Flood Maps) and wildfire (Wildfire Interface/Levels of Concern).
