Residents ordered from flood-damaged Windover Palms units in Melbourne

Nearly 110 residents at Windover Palms Apartment complex in Melbourne were ordered evacuated by management Thursday, Nov. 12, as conditions in flooded-damaged units continue to worsen nearly two weeks after historic floods hit Brevard . The residents were sent notices this week about the emergency evacuation. Cleaning crews in bio-hazard suits were seen going into the apartments late Thursday as a six-month clean-up and renovation gets underway, city officials said. The waters from Nov. 1 receded but left behind health-threatening damages, officials said. “Some of the apartments, you can’t even breathe in,” Melbourne Mayor Paul Alrey told FLORIDA TODAY. “Residents are being refunded their last month’s rents but many are displaced. Some who were on Section 8 were given vouchers but that doesn’t mean much until they can get keys in hand." Florida’s State Emergency Response Team, the agency tasked with coordinating disaster responses, was on site passing out flyers to Windover residents. Alfrey said the city is working with the American Red Cross to find shelter for the residents. The apartment complex’s management did not immediately respond to FLORIDA TODAY’s inquiries. J.D.
