Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) FDEM-ESF2 Hurricane Idalia Starlink Deployment Disaster Type: Category 3 Hurricane
On August 30, 2023, Hurricane Idalia made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane in the Big Bend Region of Florida. Communications systems were damaged or destroyed in the impacted area. Tidal Basin was called in to support FDEM under Emergency Support Function #2, with program management, deployment and demobilization, technical support, inventory management, and logistics management of the State’s Starlink communications systems. The goal of the project was to provide internet and cellular communications to government, infrastructure companies, and first responders. Tidal Basin mobilized and deployed approximately 140 satellite communications units throughout the Big Bend Region. During the response, we delivered and set up units, provided IT technical support, and tracked and maintained inventory of the units. The status of all requests was documented in WebEOC. Our team also mobilized units from the State Logistics Resource Center (SLRC) in Orlando to Gainesville and transported units back to SLRC following the response. In addition, we completed a full inventory of all Starlink systems belonging to FDEM and ensured units were palletized and stored appropriately at the SLRC.
