Situation  Largest Evacuation in U.S. History  Hurricane Irma Unpredictable Path  Supply Anxiety K. Clark, Miami Herald  Hurricane Harvey  Major Ports Closed  High Demand for Truck Drivers and Fuel Trucks Michelle Eve Sandberg/AFP/Getty Images  Severe Congestion and Gas Shortages in Wildwood, Lake City, and Panhandle

How the System Works - Florida Fuel Supply Chain

How the System Works - Gas Distribution System Above the rack bulk deliveries to terminals REFINERIES (e.g. exchange deliveries, third party terminals, end users with terminals) (Fuel products are unfinished gasoline, diesel, jet, kerosene, home heating oil, ethanol) PIPELINE MARINE TERMINALS Fuel ETHANOL PLANTS Products RAIL Florida Petroleum Council. 2017.

How the System Works . Truck Drivers  Special Training Required – Hazardous Materials and Terminal Operations twitter.com/PortCanaveral  Access Requirements  Trucks Generally Owned by Commercial Carriers Gas Stations – Contract vs. Spot Pricing  Contract • Between Supplier and Dealer Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) 2017 • Given Higher Priority when Supplies Constrained  “Spot Market” • Surplus Sold at a Discount • Last to be Served when Supplies Constrained

What Worked Well Communications and Coordination  Daily Calls with Governor  Between States Regulation Waivers  Fuels  Motor Carrier  FERC Tariffs twitter.com/FLGovScott/  Jones Act  Tolls Florida Highway Patrol Escorts  Fuel Trucks  Station Employees

Key Findings Coordination  Coordinate with Fuel industry to develop planning guide.  Engage with trucking companies to develop emergency staffing plan. Assessment  Explore sites for more fuel storage.  Evaluate feasibility of adding more racks at port terminals.  Assess the feasibility of accessing fuel storage of other public and private entities during an emergency.  Evaluate option to use fuel trains as temporary storage and dispensing facilities.

Key Findings Response  Create a public information plan to effectively communicate fuel availability.  Coordinate with southeastern states on pre-agreed upon regional waivers for emergencies.  Identify critical gas stations along evacuation routes.  Coordinate with local emergency management officials to develop a plan for orderly fuel service during emergencies.

Utilize Partnerships 27

iREV • Collaborated with the National Association of State Energy Officials and national stakeholders to develop iREV. • iREV is a national effort to catalyze state and local acceptance and deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure in preparing for and responding to manmade and natural disasters and emergency situations. • Focuses on alternative fuels such as biodiesel (B100), propane, natural gas, and electricity. • iREV will educate, coordinate, and provide the emergency management community with data, tools, and resources they need to make optimal fleet investment decisions in their jurisdictions. For more information: www.naseo.org/irev 28

• Using a $400,000 award from the U.S. DOE Clean Cities to work with the Electrification Coalition and the Central Florida Clean Cities Coalition to promote Drive Electric Orlando. • Drive Electric Orlando offers: – An option to rent an electric vehicle in Orlando, Florida – Incentives for renting an electric vehicles including: • VIP treatment at Epcot’s Test Track ride • free valet parking, • preferred parking spots, • ample charging stations, • free three-month membership to CLEARLane Access which allows travelers to skip the identification check point at the airport and head straight to the physical screening 29

Drive Electric Orlando • Program partners include: • Since the program launched in October 2015: – 1,708 electric vehicle rentals with over 385,000 miles driven. – Trained over 250 rental car company employees to help ensure renters have a seamless and superior rental experience. 30

Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership (BIP) • Received a $15.2 million, Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. • Goal is to increase the availability of infrastructure capable of dispensing higher blends of biofuels. • Retrofits under this program began in May 2016. From May 2016 through February 2018, there have been 247 blender pumps and four dedicated E85 pumps installed at a total of 61 fuel station locations in Florida. 31
