INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL II
CURRENT SITUATION:
New large fires were reported in the Rocky Mountain, Eastern Great Basin,
and Southern California Areas. With cooler temperatures, initial attack
activity decreased in all the geographic areas. The National Interagency
Coordination Center processed orders for helicopters, lead planes, air
attack aircraft, engines, radio equipment, crews, and miscellaneous
overhead. Very high to extreme fire danger indices were reported in
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Alaska, Oregon, Washington,
California, Arizona, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
KLINGER, Craig District, BLM. This fire is 20 miles south of Rangley, CO.
It is burning in pinyon pine and juniper fuels. The fire is threatening
oil wells, pipelines and substations. Suppression efforts are impeded by
strong winds, low humidities, and a shortage of available resources.
CONE MOUNTAIN, Grand Junction District, BLM. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Hartman) is assigned. This fire is 38 miles southwest of
Grand Junction, CO. It is burning in ponderosa pine, pinyon pine and
juniper fuels. Long range spotting, shifting winds and poor access are
hindering containment efforts. Residences and historical structures are
threatened.
BUSTER FLATS, Dinosaur National Monument, NPS. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Sisk) is assigned. This fire is burning in pinyon pine
and juniper 75 miles northwest of Craig, CO. Gusty winds and rapid fire
spread continues, but no resources are threatened. Precautionary
evacuation of campgrounds at Gates of Ladore and Brown's Park National
Wildlife Refuge are still in effect.
WILD HORSE BASIN, Rock Springs District, BLM. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Gardner) is assigned. This fire, near Rock Springs, WY,
is burning in pinyon pine, juniper and sagebrush. The fire continues to
be pushed by high winds.
BLACK BUTTE, Rock Springs District, BLM. This fire is burning in grass,
sagebrush, and juniper near Rock Springs, WY. The fire has jumped a
county road and is posing a threat to power lines. High winds and low
relative humidities are challenging containment efforts.
COLOROW MOUNTAIN, Craig District, BLM. The fire is located 16 miles
northwest of Meeker, CO. No new information was reported. This will be
the last report unless new information is received.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
CEDAR FIELD, Upper Snake River District, BLM. This wind-driven fire is
burning 10 miles southwest of American Falls, ID. Observed fire behavior
includes active torching in sagebrush and juniper. The fire is
threatening cultural resources in Massacre Rocks State Park.
ALASKA AREA LARGE FIRES:
Alaska currently has 24 unstaffed and uncontained fires burning for
231,654 acres.
BERING CREEK, Tanana Zone, BLM. This fire is 35 miles southwest of
Tanana. It was started by lightning on 6/14 in a limited suppression
area. One crew is staffing the fire to protect cabin sites and native
allotments on the south shore of the Yukon River.
BEARPAW MOUNTAIN, Tanana Zone, BLM. The fire is burning in black spruce
100 miles southwest of Fairbanks. Fire activity has been moderate due to
lower temperatures and higher humidities. Demobilization of all personnel
is scheduled for today. ZITZIANA, Tanana Zone, BLM. This
lightning-caused fire is burning 85 miles west of Fairbanks.
Precipitation, higher humidities and cloud cover aided crews in completing
cabin protection projects at several locations. Demobilization of some
resources is occurring today.
NORTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
LUG NUT, Lakeview District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(McElwain) is assigned. This lightning-caused fire is burning 22 miles
northeast of Fort Rock, OR. No new information was reported.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
BROOMSEDGE, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, NPS. This grass fire is
burning 30 miles southwest of Hilo, HI. Crews are mopping up hot spots on
the north flank of the fire. Heavy duff fuels and poor soil for fireline
construction are causing containment difficulties.

=> Mid Range U.S. Weather Threats Assessment
SYNOPSIS: During the next few days most models and ensemble members show the
development of a pattern with troughs near the coasts with a strong ridge
anchored near or over the Great Plains region. The primary uncertainty with
this assessment period is that most ensemble members tend to persist the
trough-ridge-trough pattern over the conterminous United States, with only
the operational MRF boldly retrograding the central U.S. ridge into the
northern Intermountain region. The ensembles, which seem more trustworthy,
would imply very hot weather for much of the nations heartland, especially
central portions of both the Plains and Mississippi Valley.
THREATS
· Long-term drought continues over portions of the South, the Central Plains
region, and Hawaii. Recent monsoonal rainfall allows for the removal of the
long-term drought area over the Southern Rockies and Upper Rio Grande
Valley. Drought situation has also improved for South Florida and the
immediate South Atlantic coast.
· General risk of wildfires remains high over western New Mexico, most of
Arizona, and much of the Great Basin.
· After a short break in rainfall over the Southwest, the summer monsoon is
expected to be re-established east of the Continental Divide by early next
week, with moisture moving into areas west of the Divide shortly thereafter.
DETAILED SUMMARY
For Friday July 7 through Sunday July 9: Very hot weather is anticipated
over the central Plains states and middle Mississippi Valley during this
period. The two main areas of precipitation are likely to be focused over
the Upper Mississippi Valley / Great Lakes region, and also over the
south-central Appalachians and adjacent coastal plain, both linked to
frontal activity. Showers could be locally heavy at times with both of these
systems.
For Monday July 10 through Friday July 14: A consensus of ensemble members
suggests that a mean trough along the west and east coasts will persist with
a strong ridge located between over the Central U.S.. With very warm and
humid conditions over most of the eastern half to two-thirds of the country,
the possibility of heavy rainfall with localized flooding and severe storms
is ever present. But, the details of location and timing are not possible to
specify.
For Saturday July 15 through Tuesday July 18: There is considerable
uncertainty during this time frame as to whether or not we see the Central
U.S. ridge remaining over that region (ensembles) or retrograding westward
into the northern Basin (operational MRF).

EMC244 Important Documents. Release 7/3/00
In the daily scurry of life it's easy to overlook a step that is
vital to long term family survival - organizing important
records.
A major disaster, or a family members death, can create havoc
for the family if important documents were not created and then
duplicated in another location.
Those who have had to assist a family following the death of the
person who was the family record-keeper know the difficulty of
finding essential information. Sometimes it is not possible to
reconstruct key records after that death. There may be funds on
deposit in places now forgotten, a paid-up insurance policy
misfiled, or other items not listed in accessible records.
In the aftermath of any major disaster essential records that
were in a just-destroyed home or business may be irretrievably
lost, resulting in a horrible family nightmare; I.e., Insurance
claims, disaster assistance, even physical access to the area
denied for lack of essential records.
Here is a list of items, documents and information to keep in
accessible places: (1) in your house; (2) copy in safe deposit
box; (3) copy in a remote location. It's a protection that is
used in business; that is, put copies of essential records in
places remotely located from their main site. While this may
sound like a chore, it really isn't. The benefit you gain is an
overview of your current situation, and a list of where key
records are filed. Review this every five years as it can be
surprising how family and personal information can change.
- Social Security Card
- Birth Certificates
- Marriage and Death Records
- Credit Cards
- Insurance policies on house, auto, liability, health, etc.
- Recent Tax Returns
- Mortgage or Real Estate Loan identification and evidence of
recent payments, or statement of recent year end balance
- Deeds to real estate currently owned AND copies of tax records
on previously owned real estate that affects the basis in the
currently owned property
- Records of improvements to real property (new barn, added room)
- Information on owned stocks and bonds, certificates of deposit,
treasury bills, and other investments, including account #'s.
- Bank, Saving and Loan and Credit Union records
- Photo, video (and/or longhand) inventory of cars, home, household
goods
- Drivers License (evidence you live in an area as well as license)
- Will or Trust documents
- Passports if relative
- Military discharge documents if relative
- Ownership certificates for trailers, boats, vehicles, etc
- Recent photos of family members and friends - serves to aid in
identification in case of separation, need to identify
- List of addresses and phone numbers (CURRENT!) organized in
a readily accessible pocket guide (alphabetic telephone record)
- Small amounts of cash, extra checks or where they are located
- Watch, camera and film with a list of where essential inventories
are filed (such as film/video inventories as well as longhand.)
- Instructions to family as to where to contact each other in a
major disruption of services in your community.
You'll think of other items. Although you may never need this,
it is better to have that occur than to need it and not have it.
Then, too, you do your family a distinct honor when you assemble
this data and let them know about it and where copies are
located.
