Spring(ing) For Preparedness Observances—On Both Sides of the Border (View Original Story)
Source: Posted: 04-04-2006 at 09:00:10
| SEATTLE, Wash. -- April is traditionally Earthquake/Tsunami Preparedness Month throughout the Pacific Northwest, with observances ranging from governors' proclamations and statewide "Drop, Cover and Hold" exercises, to town halls and tsunami seminars. Next month Canada will observe Emergency Preparedness Week (7-13 May) with preparedness observances planned in communities throughout British Columbia. Why the sudden emphasis on emergency preparedness? According to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Regional Director John Pennington, the message is not "sudden" but with memories of Hurricane Katrina still vivid, there certainly should be a level of urgency for those who haven't taken appropriate steps. |

Waves of Volunteers Lift D'Iberville Residents Out of the Debris (View Original Story)

| BILOXI, Miss. - From the highway, the D'Iberville Volunteer Village looks like a cross between a military installation and a summer camp. There are tents, refrigerated food trucks, storage sheds, striped carnival-like tents, FEMA travel trailers, military tents and portable toilets from end to end. E.W. "Ed" Cake Jr., Ph.D., is the vice-president of the D'Iberville Volunteers Foundation and the associate director of volunteers and services at the village. He's an environmental consultant for public and private clients. His specialty is oyster biology. Because Katrina temporarily wiped out coastal oyster beds, Ed's consulting business is on hiatus. He was looking for an opportunity to serve the community and he found one. He works 18-20 hours a day assigning daily jobs to the volunteers. He has been doing this for over six months since Katrina hit town. He has a title, a business card and no paycheck. |
