2 Continue to strengthen the infrastructure Prepare the storm organization Refine the restoration plan Enhance communications 2009 Preparations FPL’s Hurricane Preparedness Plan Infrastructure OrganizationCommunication Restoration

3 3-Prong approach CIF Acute Care & Hospitals Centers35 -Highway Crossings40 -‘01’ Switches53 -EOC/Police/Fire 4 Community projects 11 New Design Guidelines (new construction) Continue to Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution Hardening Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration

4 Replace all wood structures Replace ceramic post insulators 2009 – replace over 900 wood structures and 400 ceramic post insulators Continue to Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission Hardening Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration

5 Continue to Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution Pole Inspections Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration FPL owns over 1.1 million poles Inspecting 1/8 of poles each year Approximately 1/3 of first cycle completed Working throughout entire FPL system

6 Continue to Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission Pole Inspections Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration 64,000 structures system-wide On-going 6-year cycle Inspect at least 1/6 of system in 2009 Before June 1, 2009, inspect all critical 500kV lines & facilities serving CIF

7 Continue to Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution Vegetation Management Feeders - 3-year average trim cycle Laterals - 6-year average trim cycle Before June 1 - clear Top CIF Encourage “Right Tree - Right Place” Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration

8 Continue to Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission Vegetation Management Cleared 100% of transmission right of way in 2008 Same plan for 2009 Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration

9 Prepare the Storm Organization Infrastructure Communication Communication Organizatio n Restoration Roles identified and staffed Training updated Training conducted Forensic teams ready Annual Preparations

10 Refine the Restoration Plan Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration Safely restore in shortest time Resource plans in place –Logistics –Foreign utilities & contract crews –Inventories Applied lessons learned Refined recovery plan

11 Enhance Communications Infrastructure Communication Communication Organization Restoration FPL / County EOC meetings Increased governmental & community communications More detailed estimated restoration times

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

13 Infrastructure strengthened –Hardening; Pole inspections; Vegetation Organization prepared –Trained and ready Restoration plan tested & refined –Lessons learned; Technology; Forensics Communications enhanced –Better information Hurricane Preparedness Plan 2009 Summary Infrastructure Organization Communication Restoration
