Every Floridian dreads the onset of Hurricane season. Between the months of June and October most coastal dwellers stay on alert biting nails and watching the weather reports. Florida has seen its fair share of hurricanes, but Broward hasn’t seen a serious storm in over 20 years. Hurricane Wilma in 2005 was only a category two storm, and caused damage all along Deerfield, Pompano, and Fort Lauderdale Beaches. Wilma was a very minor storm in comparison to hurricanes like Katrina and Andrew. A direct hit from a category four or five could mean damage costing billions of dollars in the aftermath.

Neighborhoods like the unincorporated areas of Broward are usually hit hardest because of their proximity to the coastal region and the economic condition of the area. Many cannot afford to rebuild after a storm and need FEMA help.


Scenario One:

The family is evacuated pre-hurricane by local authorities. They relocate to a safe haven, a friend or realities’ home, Hurricane Shelter, or designated safe hotel until the storm passes, usually one day to a week. After the hurricane has passed and the area is deemed safe to return they come back to some wind damage and some clean-up, but all in all an intact inhabitable home.

Scenario Two:

The family is evacuated pre-hurricane by local authorities. They relocate to a safe haven, a friend or realities’ home, Hurricane Shelter, or designated safe hotel until the storm passes. After the hurricane has passed and the area is deemed safe to return they come back to serious damage making the home uninhabitable but re-buildable. In this situation The {s.e.e.d.} Core can then be instituted, creating a safe haven for those in need during the rebuilding of the home.

Scenario Three:

The family is evacuated pre-hurricane by local authorities. They relocate to a safe haven, a friend or realities’ home, Hurricane Shelter, or designated safe hotel until the storm passes. After the hurricane has passed and the area is deemed safe to return they come back to complete destruction of the home. In this scenario the home owner no longer has an inhabitable home because of severe wind or water damage to the structural integrity of the home. In this case The {s.e.e.d.} Core can be instated, creating a safe haven for those in need during the clearing of the site. The {s.e.e.d.} Core is then the primary home for those individuals until the site is cleared completely. After all debris is removed The {s.e.e.d.} Core can then root its self into the site, becoming the core of The {s.e.e.d.} Home that will be constructed around it.
