Turkey Point Sector C Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps 16 pie-shaped sectors radiating 10 miles from the Turkey Point nuclear power plant, each covering a 22.5-degree wind direction (N, NE, E, etc.). It's used by Florida Power & Light and emergency planners to coordinate rapid evacuations if a radiation release occurs, ensuring residents and first responders know which areas are affected based on prevailing wind patterns.
Why This Matters

- An emergency manager at the Office of Emergency Management using the sectors to pre-position resources and coordinate evacuation drills based on weather forecasts
