We are a combination of structural engineers, civil engineers, surveyors, building officials, hotel owners, condominium board members, single-family "vulnerable" oceanfront homeowners, and other concerned parties. There is currently a huge burden on the design professionals and associated professions to file all emergency permits for coastal reconstruction prior to January 6, 2023, when the State of Florida - Department of Environmental Protection - Hurricane Ian EFO 22-2740, ordered and entered on Oct. 28, 2022, and amended on Dec. 1, 2022, is set to expire. We, the signatories, respectfully request your assistance in extending this deadline for at least (60) days, until March 6, 2023.
The list of properties needing repairs is long. Therefore, demand for licensed contractors is huge. More time is required for people to hire to retain their services. We need help!
