  1. Hurricane Preparedness Plan 2008 Florida Power & Light Company May 1, 2008

  2. 2008 Preparations FPL’s Hurricane Preparedness Plan • Strengthen the Infrastructure • Prepare the Storm Organization • Refine the Restoration Plan • Enhance Communications Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration

  3. Infrastructure Organization Communication Restoration Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution - Hardening • 3 – Prong Approach 2007 2008 • CIF • Acute Care • Highway Crossings • “01 Switches” 284375 493263 • Community Projects 34 21 • Joint Pole Owners/Attachers

  4. Infrastructure Organization Communication Restoration Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission - Hardening • Replace Single Pole Un-guyed Wood Structures • 2007 – 339 • 2008 – 294 • Replace Ceramic Post Insulators • 2007 – 773 • 2008 – 445 • Expand Hardening Strategy – Upgrade All Wood Structures to Current Standards • Upgrade 800+ Wood Structures in 2008

  5. Infrastructure Organization Communication Restoration Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution – Pole Inspections • FPL Owns Over 1.1 Million Poles • Completed Over 140,000 in 2007; Same for 2008 • Working Throughout Entire FPL System • Working with Joint Pole Owners

  6. Infrastructure Organization Communication Restoration Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission - Inspections • 64,000 Structures System-Wide • Inspected Over 13,500 Structures in 2007 • Before June 1, 2008, Inspect All Critical 500kV Lines & Facilities Serving Distribution CIF Projects • Complete at Least 1/6th of System in 2008

  7. Infrastructure Organization Communication Restoration Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution – Vegetation Mgmt. • Feeders - 3-year Average Trim Cycle • Laterals - 6-year Average Trim Cycle • Before June 1 - Clear Top CIF • Encourage Right Tree Right Place

  8. Infrastructure Organization Communication Restoration Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission – Vegetation Mgmt. 2007 • Completed Clearing on 100% of FPL’s Transmission Right of Way 2008 • Complete Clearing on 100% of FPL’s Transmission Right of Way

  9. Preparing the Storm Organization • Roles Identified and Staffed • Training Updated • Training Conducted • Forensic Teams Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration

  10. Refine the Restoration Plan • Main Objective - Safely Restore in the Shortest Time • Resource Plans in Place • Logistics • Foreign Utilities & Contract Crews • Inventories • Improved Systems • Refined Recovery Plan Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration

  11. Enhance Communications • FPL / County EOC Meetings • Increased Governmental & Community Communications • More Accurate Estimated Restoration Times Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration

  12. Areas of Concern or Vulnerability • Hardening - Multi-Year Effort • Multiple Storms • Catastrophic Storms • Insufficient Resources Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration

  13. Summary • Infrastructure Strengthened • Hardening; Vegetation; Pole Inspections • Organization Prepared • Trained and Ready • Restoration Plan Tested/Refined • Lessons Learned; Technology; Forensics • Communications Enhanced • Better Information Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
