INTRODUCTION<br />

WELCOME TO BREVARD COUNTY<br />

We’re serious business,<br />

but also plenty of fun<br />

FLORIDA TODAY staff<br />

<strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong> has a treasure trove of activities,<br />

and the FLORIDA TODAY <strong>Fact</strong> <strong>Book</strong> is the<br />

place to discover them.<br />

In addition to watching rockets soaring over<br />

the beach, one of the most celebrated attractions<br />

for tourists and residents alike is the Kennedy<br />

Space Center Visitors Complex’s $100 million<br />

attraction, Space Shuttle Atlantis.<br />

Our 72-mile-long county offers countless opportunities<br />

for nature lovers, from strolling<br />

along our ample beaches and kayaking lagoons,<br />

to ÿshing our rivers and enjoying picnics in public<br />

parks, to biking numerous nature trails.<br />

Those loving the arts and entertainment will<br />

ÿnd an unending array of activities. Theater<br />

patrons frequently rave about the six community<br />

theaters here.<br />

Visual artists regularly exhibit in area galleries<br />

and street festivals; dance companies perform<br />

throughout the year.<br />

Port Canaveral is the world’s second-busiest<br />

cruise port, trailing the Port of Miami in cruise<br />

passenger volume. <strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s seaport is<br />

the home port of Carnival, Disney, Norwegian<br />

and Royal Caribbean cruise ships.<br />

The port also is home to popular Jetty Park,<br />

Exploration Tower, and the Cove restaurant and<br />

retail district. And, of course, it’s one of the<br />

many places to launch your boat.<br />

The <strong>Brevard</strong> Zoo in Melbourne has been<br />

ranked among the top 20 zoos in the country.<br />

Florida Tech runs the county’s two ÿne art<br />

museums and curates vivid exhibitions.<br />

The Maxwell C. King Center in Melbourne is<br />

celebrating its 30th year, presenting worldrenowned<br />

musical and stage acts, from Jerry<br />

Seinfeld to the <strong>Brevard</strong> Symphony Orchestra.<br />

Want to discover a club or charity?<br />

Or maybe how to contact your elected o‘cial<br />

or ÿnd your nearest school?<br />

This is where to look, and it will remind you<br />

why you love living in <strong>Brevard</strong>.<br />

Ron Sageser from<br />

Rockledge is a<br />

cancer survivor,<br />

and since<br />

remission makes<br />

it to the ocean<br />

every New Year’s<br />

Day to surf.<br />

Watching the<br />

sunrise from the<br />

beach — and the<br />

sunset from the<br />

river — are two of<br />

<strong>Brevard</strong>’s favorite<br />

traditions.<br />

declared to avoid the waiting period.<br />

There is no waiting period for nonresidents.<br />

WEATHER<br />

Area wary of hurricanes, lightning<br />

FLORIDA TODAY STAFF<br />

As blizzards blast the northern states,<br />

Floridians can count on mostly mild winters,<br />

along with tempestuous summers<br />

and the occasional hurricane.<br />

They are all part of the daily drama we<br />

call Florida weather. Much of it is pleasant,<br />

with average winter highs in Melbourne<br />

in the low 70s and lows about 50;<br />

in the summer, expect low 70s at night<br />

and daytime temperatures around 90.<br />

The dry season of late fall through early<br />

spring may increase the danger of ÿre,<br />

while summer monthly rain totals range<br />

from almost 6 to well over 7 inches from<br />

June through September, according to the<br />

National Weather Service.<br />

Those totals can be enhanced by tropical<br />

storms and hurricanes. Of hurricanes<br />

that have a“ ected the United States, 40<br />

percent hit Florida, which gets the most of<br />

any state — 116 landfalls from 1851 to 2017.<br />

The 2017 hurricane season was above<br />

average in the Atlantic basin, with 17<br />

named storms, including 10 hurricanes in<br />

a row. In late August, Hurricane Harvey<br />

became the ÿrst major hurricane to make<br />

landfall in the United States since Wilma<br />

in 2005.<br />

Hurricane Irma, in early September,<br />

made landfall in the Florida Keys and<br />

came up the west-central part of the state,<br />

causing damage in <strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />

Hurricane Maria, a storm lasting from<br />

Sept. 16-Oct. 3, ravaged Puerto Rico with<br />

maximum sustained winds of 175 mph.<br />

A Category 1 hurricane has sustained<br />

wind speeds of 74 to 95 mph. A catastrophic<br />

Category 5 tops 155 mph.<br />

In any hurricane, it is wise to evacuate<br />

trailers and manufactured homes, and<br />

residents of the barrier islands may be ordered<br />

to leave.<br />

The country’s lightning capital, Florida<br />

leads the states in lightning deaths and injuries.<br />

If you hear thunder, you can be<br />

struck. Get into a building or an enclosed<br />

metal car, and stay o“ corded phones and<br />

away from plumbing. Open structures<br />

such as picnic pavilions aren’t safe.<br />

Florida has a large number of tornadoes<br />

and waterspouts; rare Central Florida tornado<br />

events have been deadly. Stay informed<br />

by buying a weather radio, which<br />

picks up National Weather Service forecasts<br />

and sounds an alert tone when<br />

watches and warnings are issued.<br />

BONUS: TIPS FOR SEEING A LAUNCH AT KSC VISITOR COMPLEX<br />

Buy tickets. When viewing a launch from Kennedy Space Center Visitor<br />

Complex public areas, visitors will have a view of the vehicle rising above<br />

the tree line. V.I.P. viewing tickets can be purchased at the gate or online<br />

as an add-on to Visitor Complex daily or multi-day admission. The V.I.P.<br />

viewing location changes according to the location of the launch, but<br />

these locations are the closest you will ever get as an observer (the<br />

LC-39 observation gantry is only three miles from the pad!). V.I.P. viewing<br />

is not available for all launches.<br />

Get there early. Traffic can be hectic on launch days. Try to get there<br />

when the gates open if you’re planning to see a morning launch. Give<br />

yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and expect long lines<br />

at the gate and in parking areas.<br />

Be prepared for the weather. You could spend a few hours in the Florida<br />

sun waiting for the launch. Be sure to pack bottled water and sunscreen.<br />

For today, for the future,<br />

for our community...<br />

Coastal makes connections for life.<br />

Seasoned Professionals~As <strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s exclusive provider of non-emergency ambulance services, Coastal<br />

Health Systems makes important connections every day for the citizens of our community. For 30 years, our staff<br />

of trained professionals has safely transported hundreds of thousands of patients to and from various healthcare<br />

providers here in <strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong> and across our state and nation. Every day of every year, Coastal is on duty and<br />

playing a key role in <strong>Brevard</strong>’s medical transportation system.<br />

Accreditation Matters~Since 2006 Coastal has been nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of<br />

Ambulance Services (CAAS). As one of the first three Florida agencies to successfully earn this distinction we are<br />

proud to have lead the way for others to follow. Florida now has 15 CAAS accredited agencies that have attained<br />

this distinction but that number remains small in comparison to the total number of ambulance services operating<br />

in Florida. Considered the “Gold Standard” for ambulance services, Coastal is very proud of the achievement which continues to demonstrate our<br />

commitment to quality and our dedication to our community and our healthcare partners.<br />

Quality Assured~At Coastal “Quality” is a benchmark for day-to-day performance. Coastal believes quality must be measured in many different<br />

ways, from patient surveys, on time performance measures, to clinical indicator reviews and patient care report accuracy just to name a few. Coastal’s<br />

franchise agreement with <strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong> mandates very specific performance parameters including one that establishes a minimum of 90% for on<br />

time performance. Exceeding that requirement every year, Coastal’s on time performance averaged 97% over the past 10 years. Additionally, patients<br />

responding to Coastal’s patient satisfaction survey have consistently rated their transports above 3.8 on a 4.0 matrix rating scale. Coastal takes<br />

performance standards very seriously and closely monitors how that performance meets the expectations of its patients, healthcare partners and<br />

county leaders.<br />

Community Partnerships~Coastal Health Systems is a truly unique not-for-profit organization in partnership with <strong>Brevard</strong>’s hospitals and <strong>Brevard</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong>. Operating under the vision and guidance of a Board of Directors with members from <strong>Brevard</strong> hospitals and with the important oversight<br />

of the Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners, Coastal must meet the highest professional and service standards and remain capable of responding to the<br />

needs and vision of the county’s health care and emergency services professional’s alike. Coastal exemplifies the level of collaboration that exists within<br />

our community to deliver the high quality of service that our hospitals expect, our county leadership requires and our citizens deserve.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

Surf, sail, row, run — be a real sport in <strong>Brevard</strong><br />

FLORIDA TODAY Staff<br />

<strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong> is home to just about every sport imaginable.<br />

Whether you like to participate or watch, chances are<br />

you’ll ÿnd something you enjoy.<br />

Local waterways o“ er some of the ÿnest boating and sailing,<br />

and an ideal environment for water skiing, wakeboarding,<br />

stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing, as well as<br />

competitive and recreational rowing. Windsurÿing and kiteboarding<br />

are gaining in popularity, especially in the rivers,<br />

along with more traditional forms of boardsailing.<br />

Though wave conditions are not always perfect for surÿng<br />

— or perhaps because of that — <strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong> has produced<br />

several major surÿng stars, including world champion Kelly<br />

Slater of Cocoa Beach and the Hobgood twins, C.J. and Damien,<br />

veterans of the World Surf League. Local contests are<br />

conducted annually from Cocoa Beach south to Sebastian Inlet.<br />

Surfers often share their favorite inlet break with anglers<br />

in search of a treasured taste of snook or a ÿght with a tarpon.<br />

Super boat races come every May to Cocoa Beach, bringing<br />

in some of the fastest boats around.<br />

If water sports aren’t your thing, <strong>Brevard</strong> is home to many<br />

challenging public and private golf courses designed by some<br />

of the great players, such as Arnold Palmer.<br />

Tennis facilities from Titusville to south of Melbourne<br />

Beach include nearly every surface. There is an annual women’s<br />

pro tournament at the Kiwi Club in Indian Harbour Beach.<br />

<strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong> is a haven for runners from the area and<br />

outside of it. There are many 5Ks that take place monthly and<br />

the Running Zone Race Series is a group of seven races that<br />

include the I Run For Pizza Football Kicko“ 5K.<br />

The Space Coast Runners is a group that has running sessions<br />

and the Space Coast Runner of the Year Series, which<br />

includes the Space Coast Marathon & Half Marathon.<br />

The county also is home to the USA Beach Run and Florida<br />

& Half Marathon, listed as “One of America’s Top 10 Bucket<br />

List Waterfront Races” by Runners World magazine.<br />

And then there are the county’s many parks, where everything<br />

from bocce ball to cricket, horseshoes, disc golf, sand<br />

volleyball, softball and soccer — to name a few — are available<br />

year round in addition to miles of running, hiking and mountain<br />

biking trails. There also is an equestrian facility and an<br />

archery range at Melbourne’s Wickham Park.<br />

Space Coast Stadium will be the site for the USSSA Pride<br />

professional softball team that plays during the summer.<br />

A variety of amateur sports, drawing teams from across the<br />

country and beyond, will take place at Space Coast Stadium<br />

and at Cocoa Expo throughout the year.<br />

There also are numerous facilities o“ ering bowling and billiards.<br />

Ice skaters and hockey fans gravitate to the Space<br />

Coast Ice Plex in Rockledge while extreme sports enthusiasts<br />

take advantage of several ÿrst-class skate parks, such as the<br />

ones in Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach.<br />

There also is a rock climbing facility in West Melbourne and<br />

a trampoline park, Sky Zone, in Rockledge.<br />

The Space Coast is home to premier surf spots, international<br />

surÿng events and some of the world’s top surfers. Among the<br />

pros who got their feet wet along the Space Coast are world champions<br />

Kelly Slater of Cocoa Beach and C.J. Hobgood of Satellite<br />

Beach. Melbourne Beach native Caroline Marks, who just turned<br />

16, is the only rookie on the women’s pro circuit this season.<br />

Several annual events in <strong>Brevard</strong> <strong>County</strong> have attracted thousands<br />

of spectators and hundreds of competitors. Among the<br />

area’s contests are the National Kidney Foundation Labor Day<br />

Surÿng Festival; the Cocoa Beach Easter Pro/Am, which includes<br />

the always popular dog surÿng contest; the Beach ’N Boards Festival<br />

in the spring, the Waterman’s Challenge in the summer, the<br />

Quiksilver King of the Peak in November; and a gathering of the<br />

Women of the Waves in Cocoa Beach each fall.<br />

This year, the Ron Jon Florida Pro began a three-year run, featuring<br />

world-class men and women surfers from across the globe.<br />

There are plenty of other events for youngsters and adults alike,<br />

including the Eastern Surÿng Association Series and the National<br />

Scholastic Surÿng Association and Atlantic Surÿng Federation<br />

championships. For casual surfers, popular spots extend from<br />

Playalinda Beach in the north to Sebastian Inlet down south.<br />

On Christmas Eve each year, the internationally renowned<br />

Surÿng Santas event takes place in Cocoa Beach.<br />
