=> National Weather Service Day 3-10 U.S. Threats Valid Friday, April 13,
2001 -
Tuesday, April 24, 2001.
Summary of Forecasts & Threats
SYNOPSIS: Over the next few days, computer models are indicating that the
upper-level flow
pattern will gradually transition from a western trough and eastern ridge to
a faster zonal pattern over
the United States. This zonal pattern is now expected to be in place only
briefly, before changing to a
new pattern with a trough and cooler temperatures in the East, and a ridge
in the West.
THREATS
Strong thunderstorms are possible on Friday, April 13 over an area which
runs from Arkansas and
northern Mississippi east-northeastward into the Carolinas and southern
Virginia.
Abnormally heavy snowpack and snow water content pose a spring flood threat
in parts of the
Upper Mississippi Valley and northern Great Plains, and in New England.
Long-term drought continues over most of Florida with little additional
relief in sight for central and
southern sections of the peninsula, while periods of rain are expected to
bring further relief to
long-term drought over the southern Appalachian area.
Low mountain snowpack conditions that have developed over much of the West
are likely to
experience additional relief during the next two weeks.
DETAILED SUMMARY
For Friday April 13 through Sunday April 15: Revised Wed 4/11/01:
Thunderstorm risk over
Southeast on Friday now includes Arkansas... Although an outbreak of severe
weather is expected
over the central states on Thursday, April 12th, this assessment period will
probably begin on Friday
with strong thunderstorms focused primarily in an area encompassing northern
portions of
Mississippi and Alabama, Tennessee and Arkansas. This risk also extends
eastward through the
Carolinas. Flooding from recently observed and predicted heavy rains over
the next two days is
likely to persist over parts of the Red River of the North basin along the
expected path of the intense
spring storm currently bringing blizzard conditions to parts of the central
High Plains and severe
weather to the nation's midsection. Upstate New York and New England will
probably receive
some of the precipitation and mild air with this storm system, with minor
short term flooding
problems in these areas associated with snowmelt and runoff; but by next
week, temperatures should
cool considerably once again.
For Monday April 16 through Tuesday Apr 24: With the expected flattening of
the flow pattern,
storms should be progressive and somewhat weaker across the United States
compared with that of
recent days. Some moisture is slated to move into the Pacific Northwest
during this assessment
period, which will provide some relief for the mountainous areas which have
had anomalously low
snowpacks this past winter season.
=> Remarks for Joe M. Allbaugh 2001 National Hurricane Conference
Director Federal Emergency Management Agency
Washington, DC
April 11, 2001
Transcript of remarks as delivered
Thank you all, you're very kind. I know as I walked in the room, everyone
was riveted on me and
you were thinking, "Oh, that's what he looks like."
I have to tell you, not too long ago, I had the luxury of spending some time
in Florida. Governor
Bush, Governor Jeb Bush, was hosting a. having a back half of a drought
meeting with a lot of
federal agencies. And I decided to spend a few extra days in the Keys with
my wife and daughter. I
go down there, and normally a disguise like this you can't hide very well,
but I did pretty good for
better part of a week. And the last two or three days I was there, this
fellow kept eyeing me. And I
kept thinking to myself, "Uh-oh, it's coming. I know it's gonna come, this
is gonna happen." The last
day I was there, he finally, I guess, gets up enough gumption. This is a
true story. Walks up to me
and he says, "I know who you are." I said, "Okay." He said, "I've seen you
all over the TV,
particularly with the earthquake that took place in the Pacific Northwest,
and I know who you are.
You're the IHOP man!" So I thought I was thinking very quickly on my feet, I
said, "Yes, sir, I help
other people. You're absolutely right." He says, "I don't know what you do,
but you sure sell a lot of
pancakes!" True story.
The other burning question you have is, "Where does that guy get his hair
cut?" Well, I'm not gonna
tell you!
Dr. Carter, thank you for having me here today. I'm honored to have been
selected by President
Bush to be the director of FEMA. More importantly, I'm honored to serve our
country. FEMA is an
agency that prides itself on helping others help themselves by bringing
together the necessary
resources, information and assistance. I want you to know, I plan I to
continue that spirit of
cooperation and coordination. And pledge to continue to raise the standard
of emergency
management in our country.
As the Chief of Staff for then-Governor Bush, of Texas. I have to tell
people, "I used to work for
Governor Bush." And they'd say, "Well, which one?" Now I saw, "Well, I work
for President Bush."
And they say, "Which one?" And a-one, and a-two. Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm not without some humor on occasion. I think humor is a slice of life.
Periodically, I think this city
that you're in and you're visiting today could use a big old belly laugh.
Because humor is what gets us
across the difficult times that each one of you in this audience has to deal
with on a daily basis.
But when I was in the Governor's office in Texas, I witnessed firsthand the
importance of having
different levels of government work together during the response,
particularly, of Tropical Storms
Charlie and Frances. I saw how effective that cooperation is in assisting
communities recover from
their disasters. And now I've had some experience at the national level. A
whole eleven and a half
days into my new job as FEMA Director the Nisqually Earthquake struck near
Seattle, as we all
know. This earthquake vividly demonstrated the importance of two of our
Agency's missions. First:
preparedness. Preparedness is essential to a quick and necessary response.
And secondly:
mitigation. Mitigation is the key to minimizing damage to buildings, damage
to infrastructure, and to
saving lives and to maintain the economic well being of our communities.
Please know and
understand that President Bush's administration is committed to these goals.
And it is my intention to
continue this focus. On behalf of FEMA, I want to recognize our other
federal partners, our state
partners, our local partners in advancing this exact same mission. Our
success is dependant on the
hard work of all of you in this room, and those who will be watching via
C-SPAN. I always worry
when C-SPAN shows up because they capture every word I say.
And now it's time to prepare our nation for the upcoming hurricane season.
And to remember that
hurricane preparedness and mitigation are responsibilities shared by
everyone. I assure you that
FEMA is prepared for the 2001 hurricane season. We have made great strides,
as a nation, in
preparing for hurricanes. But with a growing population in our coastal
regions, and the associated
valuable and complicated infrastructure, and with a forecast of
climate-cycles of increased weather
extremes, we must all recognize that there is still much work to be done.
In 1999, the threat of Hurricane Floyd resulted in the largest evacuation in
our nation's history. As
we watched the lines of vehicles moving slowly along the southeast US
coastline, the challenges we
faced in preventing the loss of life became clear to everyone. FEMA and the
United States
Department of Transportation are working closely with state and local
governments to improve
communication and coordination during major evacuations. Thankfully, the
2000 hurricane season
was less severe. There were no major evacuations that took place. But
there's no doubt that we will
face this issue again. Without the effective management of evacuations, the
volume of people quickly
leaving an area will overwhelm our transportation systems. This is a
significant challenge, particularly
in our large urban centers that are prone to hurricanes.
To address this problem, FEMA has established an evacuation liaison team.
Some of you may know
about this, after Hurricane Floyd, located in our Region IV office in
Atlanta. The Evacuation Liaison
team serves as a focal point for coordination and communication among states
enduring an
evacuation. We will spread this concept and expand this concept to other
regions throughout the
country.
Despite advances in storm prediction, NOAA has advised us that we can
continue to expect some
forecast error for hurricanes; for hurricane tracking and intensity
predictions. Evacuation decisions
will have to be made without exact information in order to minimize the loss
of life in heavily
populated coastal regions.
At the National Hurricane Center in Miami, the best experts in the world are
working to improve
these predictions. But the Emergency Management community will continue to
be faced with the
challenges of making recommendations and decisions that affect people's
lives. Speaking for the
Federal family, I pledge to you our continued support through the delivery
of products and services
that will help all of us make it through these difficult decisions.
To that end, we have established the Hurricane Liaison Team, to provide the
critical link between the
National Hurricane Center forecasters and the Emergency Management
community. Staffed by
FEMA and operating from dedicated offices at the NHC, the Hurricane Liaison
Team responds to
Emergency Managers by providing forecast updates issued by the Center and by
answering
questions about the forecast.
In addition to forecasting specific storms, we must also improve our
understanding of the impact of
storms and the risk they pose to each and every one of us. In order to
better understand the risk we
face, as a nation, from natural disasters, FEMA has embarked, as you may
know, on a multi-year
effort to develop a state-of-the-art risk-assessment and loss-estimation
tool called HAZUS, or
Hazards-US. Using information about communities' buildings, critical
facilities, roads and other
important features, HAZUS will provide an estimate of the expected loss that
a community would
suffer from hurricanes of various sizes and intensities.
By the way, FEMA is scheduled to release a hurricane preview model by
December 2002, and a
full model by 2005 or 2006.
As a result of Hurricane Floyd and the devastating impact of severe inland
flooding, FEMA has
received authorization to spend up to $15 million from the Disaster Relief
Fund to modernize and
update our flood maps nationwide after future disasters. This is a
significant step forward in
identifying our flood hazards nationwide. Through the efforts of mitigation
and preparedness, we
have learned that we can change the impact of disasters. We, as a nation,
can reduce the loss of life.
We can minimize damage to property by taking responsible action now, to
avoid losses in both the
public and private arenas. Some federal programs are providing greater
flexibility for state and local
governments to effectively manage their programs, while maintaining
accountability on how the
public's tax dollars are being spent. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000,
last October, which was
passed, provides the statutory basis for states and their communities to
develop stronger
relationships with each other, to address the needs of both public and
private interest. Again, FEMA
stands ready to provide both the leadership and the necessary technical
assistance and guidance to
communities as they assume a greater responsibility for becoming more
disaster resistant. As an
example, FEMA is developing a series of simple, practical, how-to field
guides to help state and
local governments in their planning processes from risk-assessment, to plan
preparation and
evaluation.
Since Hurricane Andrew occurred in 1992, a profound transformation has take
place in the nation's
posture toward the development and the adoption of comprehensive building
codes. Since April
2000, we have had a single set of disaster-resistant national modeling
building codes that address all
hazards, especially wind, flood and seismic threats. I'm pleased to say that
state and local
governments are beginning to adopt and enforce these codes, which include
hurricane-related
provisions such as improved roofing designs, structural connections and
window protection. But,
make no mistake; these mitigation features will make a difference in
reducing damage. I cannot
emphasize enough the importance of adopting and enforcing disaster-resistant
building codes. And I
urge every state and local government to examine their priority of
retrofitting our existing building
inventory in high-hazard areas. We have the technology; we must apply it.
FEMA is initiating an effort to remodel our hurricane-training program. Some
of you may know this.
To ensure that we are delivering quality courses that meet the needs of our
state and local emergency
managers. This annual conference also provides excellent opportunities for
holding training sessions
for state and local managers.
In closing, let me emphasize the following point, please. Preventing the
loss of life, minimizing the
damage to property from hurricanes is a responsibility that is shared by
all. I said that earlier in my
remarks; but it's shared by all. It's shared by all levels of government,
it's shared by all levels of the
private sector, and it's shared by the entire general public. As we go
forward with an ever-growing
population living in these vulnerable coastal areas, our charge is clear. We
must work together to
ensure the best possible outcome. With the technology and knowledge we have,
the capability exists
to change the outcome for the better.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your conference. Spend lots of money while
you're in town; Lord, the
city needs it. And I look forward to meeting you, maybe some time down the
road. Maybe not all
right now, but individually. I look forward to working with you. I
appreciate you having me here
today. Dr. Carter, thanks for the invitation and, y'all have a good time
while you're here. Thank you
very much.
=> Emergency Declaration Issued For Vermont Snowstorm
Washington, April 10, 2001 -- Federal disaster funds have been authorized
for Vermont
communities hit recently by record snowfall under an emergency declaration
issued by President
Bush, according to the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA).
FEMA Director Joe M. Allbaugh said the President took the action after a
review of the agency's
analysis of the state's request for federal assistance. The declaration
covers jurisdictions with record
and near-record snowfall from the late winter storm that occurred March 5-7.
Following the declaration, Allbaugh designated nine counties eligible for
federal funding to pay part
of the cost for emergency protective measures undertaken as a result of the
snowstorm. This
includes state and local government operations needed to protect public
health and safety and to
prevent damage to public or private property.
The designated counties include Addison, Bennington, Chittenden, Grand Isle,
Lamoille, Orleans,
Rutland, Windham and Windsor.
Under the emergency declaration, FEMA will provide reimbursement to state
and affected local
agencies for 75 percent of the total eligible costs of equipment, contracts,
and personnel overtime
related to emergency services in dealing with the snow over a 48-hour
period. These are the crucial
hours when work crews clear snow from emergency routes and roads to critical
facilities to permit
the passage of emergency vehicles. Related emergency protective measures
such as sanding and
salting, search and rescue, shelter operations, and police and fire
department response also will be
eligible for reimbursement.
Allbaugh named David Rodham of FEMA to coordinate the federal assistance in
the affected areas.
=> Federal Disaster Aid Ordered For Massachusetts Floods
Washington, April 10, 2001 -- The head of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)
announced today that federal disaster aid has been made available for
Massachusetts to help families
and businesses recover from recent floods and other extreme weather that
plagued the state since
early March.
FEMA Director Joe M. Allbaugh said the assistance was authorized under a
major disaster
declaration issued for the state by President Bush. The declaration covers
damage to private
property from severe storms and floods beginning March 5 and continuing.
Following the President's action, Allbaugh designated the counties of Essex,
Middlesex and Norfolk
eligible for aid to stricken residents and business owners.
The assistance, to be coordinated by FEMA, can include grants to help pay
for temporary housing,
emergency home repairs and other serious disaster-related expenses.
Low-interest loans from the
U.S. Small Business Administration also will be available to cover
residential and business losses not
fully compensated by insurance.
Additionally, federal funds will be provided for the state on a cost-shared
basis for approved
projects that reduce future disaster risks.
Allbaugh indicated that damage surveys are continuing and additional
counties and assistance for
state and local government agencies may be designated later if requested and
warranted by the
results of the assessments. He named Louis H. Botta of FEMA to coordinate
the federal relief effort.
Botta said residents and business owners who sustained losses in the
designated counties can begin
the disaster application process by calling 1-800-462-9029, or
1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the
hearing and speech impaired. The toll-free telephone numbers will be
available starting Wednesday,
April 11 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week until further notice.
=> White House Announces Nomination for USFA Administrator
Washington, April 11, 2001 -- The White House Office of the Press Secretary
announced today the
