   => DoD Aides India's Quake Survivors
By Linda D. Kozaryn
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2001 -- The United States is assisting
international relief efforts following the Jan. 26
earthquake that devastated a large region of western India.

Indian officials report about 15,000 people are known dead
as a result of the 7.9 magnitude quake which struck hardest
in the state of Gujarat. The quake also affected Pakistan
and was felt as far away as Nepal.

President Bush extended condolences and pledged America's
support to both India and Pakistan in a White House
statement released that day.

"Earthquakes know no political boundaries," the president
said. "We stand ready to assist as needed and as desired by
the governments."

As part of the overall U.S. support, a six-person team from
U.S. Pacific Command was sent to help the U.S. Embassy
assess potential DoD support for relief efforts. The team
made up of communications, logistics, and medical support
specialists deployed Jan. 30 from Honolulu.

DoD has also sent heavy equipment and supplies. A U.S. Air
Force transport plane left Travis Air Force Base, Calif.,
Jan. 31, and another left Dover Air Force Base, Del. Feb.
1.

After a brief stop at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, the
aircraft set off for Ahmadabad, India, carrying relief
supplies including a two-and-a-half ton truck, two large
forklifts, two 400-gallon water trailers, about 10,000
blankets, 1,500 sleeping bags and 92 large tents that
accommodate 50 people each.

The first plane, carrying some of the "military handling
equipment," was expected to arrive Feb. 2, Pentagon
spokesman Rear Adm. Craig Quigley said Feb. 1. Indian
officials have said one of their key needs is for equipment
to help move relief supplies out to areas where they're
needed most, he said.

   => Church World Service Situation Report: Kansas Gas Explosion

Church World Service is the Relief and Development Agency of the 36 member
denominations of
the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A

36 Denominations & Communions Working Together to Meet Human Needs

Situation Report: Kansas Gas Explosion
Jan. 31, 2001
SITUATION: A second person has died from a Jan. 18 natural gas explosion
that ripped apart a
mobile home in a mobile home park in Hutchinson, KS.

Authorities have blamed the mobile home explosion, and an explosion the
preceding day that
destroyed two downtown businesses, on a natural gas leak thought to have
started at a gas storage
field seven miles northwest of Hutchinson.

Natural gas geysers first shot 50 feet into the air January 17 when an
explosion, believed to be caused by a natural gas leak, seeped through an
abandoned well, found a
spark, and leveled a Hutchinson business. The building was immediately
engulfed in flames and
caused a second business to be destroyed by the fire. The explosions caused
191 homes and 43
businesses to be evacuated. However, by January 27, 68 residents were
allowed to return to their
properties.

At least 38 persons remained in a local shelter earlier this week, the
American Red Cross reported.
Access to the mobile home park may continue to be limited. In fact, there is
concern that residents
may never be able to return to the affected area and could be forcibly
relocated.

RESPONSE: Spiritual and mental care concerns are foremost in the faith
community's response because of continuing safety issues. These include the
risk of further
explosions and evacuations, possible deaths, and uncertainty about whether
people can return to
their homes.

CWS Disaster Resource Consultant, Cherri Baer, United Methodist Church, has
been in close
contact with pastors and community agencies, including the American Red
Cross about spiritual care
and possible long-term unmet needs.

Separate meetings of the Hutchinson Ministerial Association and a
community-based group coordinating formation of an unmet needs committee
were attended by
Baer and CWS DRC applicant Tom Davis, Disciples Of Christ,

   => National Drought Summary -- January 30, 2001

The South: A large storm system dumped heavy rain from Mississippi to
Alabama and northward to
Missouri and Tennessee on Sunday-Tuesday, January 28-30. The rains reduced
the area of D1 and
D2 drought in western Tennessee and northeast Arkansas, and reduced D0 and
D1 conditions in
western Alabama. Severe hydrological drought (D2) persisted from eastern
Alabama northeastward
to the western Carolinas. Abnormal dryness expanded eastward to the North
Carolina coast.
Severe (D2) to Exceptional (D4) drought remained over much of the Florida
peninsula.

The Mid-Atlantic: With precipitation amounts generally light to occasionally
moderate, there was
little change this week in the D0 (Abnormally Dry) area from western New
York to West Virginia.
D1 drought remained over southwest Virginia.

The Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes Region: The same storm system that
affected the South
dumped rain and snow on the Midwest, easing dryness. One to 3-inch rainfalls
led to removal of D0
dryness across central Missouri and western Illinois while rain or snow
removed lingering D2
drought in western Iowa and reduced the area of D1 in western Iowa and
eastern Nebraska. The
wintry mix also reduced the extent of D2 drought in northeast Kansas.

The West: A Pacific storm brought rain and snow to the region during January
24-26. One to 4
inches of rain reduced D0 (Abnormal Dryness) over northwest California, but
the Northwest states
continued to report a declining percent of average snowpack, falling further
behind conditions
expected for this time of year. D1 drought expanded westward from
northwestern Montana to
northeast Washington, while D0 dryness continued over much of the remainder
of the Northwest
and southward to California's Sierra. River basin season-to-date
precipitation in northeast
Washington, northern Idaho, and northwest Montana ranged from 37 to 43% of
normal. Snowpack
in the Columbia Basin above Portland is the second lowest in the past half
century for this point in
the season, and the snowpack (50% of average) for the Columbia River above
the Grand Coulee
Dam in Washington is below the February 1, 1977 value of 53%, formerly the
lowest early February
reading for this period.

Hawaii and Puerto Rico: Showers were fairly widespread across Hawaii last
week, but amounts
were not enough to significantly alter the D1 (Moderate Drought) remaining
over the Big Island and
D0 to D1 dryness/drought over the other islands. Honolulu's month-to-date ra
infall has totaled 0.11
inches versus a normal of 3.35 inches. Scattered light to moderate rains
left the D0 areas of Puerto
Rico intact.

Looking Ahead: Anticipated occurrences which may affect current areas of
dryness and drought
over the next 10 days include: (1) a series of Pacific storms bringing
needed rain and snow to the
West, with forecast precipitation amounts of 1 to 3 inches across western
parts of Oregon and
Washington during January 31 to February 5; (2) showers across Florida and
southern Georgia from
January 31 to February 3, amounts ranging up to 2 inches in northern
Florida; (3) above normal
precipitation forecast during February 6-10 in the Midwest.
