A northward motion is expected through tonight, followed by a fast north-northeast motion on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Idalia is forecast to pass near or over western Cuba tonight, over the extreme southeastern Gulf of Mexico by early Tuesday, and reach the Gulf Coast of Florida on Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph. Idalia is forecast to become a hurricane later today and a major hurricane over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico by early Wednesday. Computer models indicate Idalia will continue to strengthen as it moves over the warm waters of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, before making landfall along the Florida Big Bend or Nature Coast Wednesday morning. Wind and Storm Surge Watches are in effect along the Florida Gulf Coast, and these will likely be upgraded to Warnings later today. to he next briefing package will be issued on Monday afternoon. For the latest information, please visit the National Hurricane Center website.

Tropical storm-force wind probabilities continue to increase along the Florida West Coast, with tropical impacts beginning as early as Tuesday morning in Southwest Florida. The most likely timeframe for deteriorating conditions across the state will be Tuesday evening and overnight from south to north along the Florida Gulf Coast, and early Wednesday morning across Northeast Florida. While there remains some degree of disagreement regarding Idalia's overall intensity, computer models are in agreement that the system will continue to strengthen today, becoming a hurricane later today near the western tip of Cuba. Computer models show Idalia will continue to intensify over the warm eastern Gulf of Mexico waters through landfall, becoming a major hurricane by late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. Storm surge values reaching 7-11' will be possible from the Aucilla River to Chassahowitzka, 6-9' from Chassahowitzka to the Anclote River, 4-7' from the Ochlockonee River to the Aucilla River and Tampa Bay. to Storm surge will also be possible southward along the Florida Gulf Coast from Englewood through Charlotte Harbor, and the Florida Keys. A Slight Risk for Severe Weather (level 2 of 5) has been introduced Tuesday night into Wednesday morning along the Florida Gulf Coast as isolated tropical tornadoes may be embedded within Idalia's outer rain bands as the system approaches the Florida coastline. The Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) has been expanded to include more of the Florida Peninsula and Florida Keys through the Tuesday morning hours. A Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) will continue Wednesday over the Suwannee River Valley into Northeast Florida, as Idalia advances northeastward.

Johnston, MBA, PE, Executive Dire � DATE: August 29, 2023 411 RE: Delay disconnection for nonpayment due to the approach of Hurricane Idalia We continue to closely monitor the approach of Hurricane Idalia. The forecast from the National Hurricane Center continues to indicate the storm will pass by our service area on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. We discussed CCUA's normal schedule for disconnection of customers for non-payment is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. I am directing CCUA resources to prepare for and respond to Hurricane Idalia. I am also directing the delay of disconnection of customers for non-payment by one week. I intend for disconnections of customers for non-payment to resume on or about Wednesday, September 6, 2023. We also discussed our need to complete both the drive-by and manual reads prior to our normal billing cycle. To complete this effort timely for our billing cycle and provide the resources for disconnection of customers for non-payment next week, I am directing our field technician staff to complete the drive-by and manual reads after Hurricane Idalia passes by the area during the weekend of September 2 and 3, 2023.

Jei•ma . nston, MBA, PE - ecutive - - : -2.3 —c 2s-- ac! System Emergency Operations responding to Hurricane Idalia The National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicts Hurricane Idalia will strike Florida as major hurricane sometime at roughly 8 a.m. on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. The NHC update also indicates the earliest reasonable arrival of tropical storm force winds for Clay County is roughly 3 a.m. Wednesday. This update also shows the potential for sustained tropical storm force winds in Clay County. In advance of this storm event and the severe weather conditions anticipated, I directed the closure of CCUA offices beginning at noon,August 29, 2023. I chose noon for the office closure to allow time for non-essential staff to evacuate the area if necessary. My selection of a noon office closure also aligned with the Clay County office closures as stated in the Clay County Emergency Management Situation Report from Monday, August 28, 2023, at 3 p.m. (1500). Based upon the information above, I am activating System Emergency Operations beginning at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. I attached the list of essential personnel who will serve on the Emergency Response and Recovery Teams. I coordinated with the General Superintendents, and we intend to operate the Emergency Response Teams on 12-hour shifts during the storm event. The Emergency Recovery Teams will remain Ready to Respond per the Emergency Pay Policy. I will activate the Emergency Recovery Teams when needed based on the impacts and damage caused by Hurricane Idalia. Dennis Ragosta and Darrell Damrow will serve as CCUA's representatives at the Clay County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The EOC is currently at a Level 2 response. Our team will report to the EOC at 7 p.m. this evening when the Clay County Emergency Management upgrades to a Level 1 response. I communicated with the Board of Supervisors regarding the emergency preparations, intended office closure, and eventual movement into system emergency operations. 08/29/2023 Hurrican Idalia Essential Employee Listing Essential Staff Response Recovery Non-Essential Prep Team Team Team Employee ID Employee Name Home Phone Work Phone Cell Phone Department Position Position Description X X 492 Baker,Alicia D Admin 188 Administrative Assistant,Operations X X 410 Johnston,Jeremy D I Admin 1 Executive Director X X 652 Muse,Walter D Admin 2 Chief Operations Officer X X 623 Ragosta,Dennis Admin 196 Public&Governmental Affairs Liaison X 636 Duran,Rafael CM&IS 46 Construction Inspector X 235 Griffin,James G CM&IS 46 Construction Inspector X 230 King,Matthew C CM&IS 161 Lead Construction Inspector X 638 Ortiz Figueroa,Linda S CM&IS 184 Construction and Inspection Services Coordinator X 504 Sams,Warrick L CM&IS 11 Construction and Inspection Services Manager X 593 Bradley,Abigail S CSPR 53 Customer Service Representative X 565 Brown,Freida L CSPR 52 Billing Clerk X 463 Champion,Marla J CSPR 27 Customer Service Supervisor X 421 Christian,Lisa R CSPR 74 Receptionist/Assistant Secretary X 509 Cribbs,Jamie S CSPR 52 Billing Clerk X 665 Emery,Melissa A CSPR 53 Customer Service Representative X 289 Green,Dawn M CSPR 136 Billing Analyst X 552 Jenkins,Shannon CSPR 52 Billing Clerk X 675 Kirkland,Jessica M CSPR 53 Customer Service Representative X 540 Levita,Amy C CSPR 52 Billing Clerk X 465 Macaluso,Brigitte C CSPR 53 Customer Service Representative X 644 Mojica,Elaine M CSPR 53 Customer Service Representative X 436 Rodriguez Velez,Ingrid W CSPR 52 Billing Clerk X 518 Shupe,Lauren M CSPR 52 Billing Clerk to X 575 Smith,Monica C CSPR 52 Billing Clerk X 297 Strickland,Diana L CSPR 195 Customer Service&Billing Manager X 661 Whitsett,Krystal L CSPR 53 Customer Service Representative 464 Addison,Wesley L D&C 54 Field Service Technician X 293 Bates,Richard A D&C 220 Utility Mechanic X X 385 Bayes,Derek C D&C 229 Water/Wastewater Maintenance Mechanic X 632 Bollinger,Jr.,Brett D&C 54 Field Service Technician X 659 Browning,JR,Bradley N D&C 54 Field Service Technician X X 603 Chesser,Dalton D&C 61 Lead Mechanic,Repairs X X 69 Church,Gary D&C 233 Chief Water/Wastewater Maintenance Coordinator X X X 542 Crosby,Jacob A D&C 229 Water/Wastewater Maintenance Mechanic X X 625 Dean,Joseph R D&C 54 Field Service Technician X X 59 Deese,David A D&C 32 Chief Sewer Line Inspection Technician X X 374 Deloach,II,Carl R D&C 216 Chief Field Services Coordinator X 676 Dillon,Jonathan D D&C 220 Utility Mechanic X X 612 Echelberger,Michael L D&C 220 Utility Mechanic X 651 Edgington,Casey E D&C 220 Utility Mechanic X X 88 Eure,Thomas K D&C 31 Lead Locator/Right-Of-Way Maintenance Supv.
