FEMA - Alternative Disaster Plans (Earthquakes & Storms)

Hi all, I was reading this site about a new FEMA plan , check out a clip:

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The Federal Emergency Management Agency is quietly drawing up plans for a handful of disasters: devastating earthquakes beneath San Francisco and St. Louis and catastrophic storms in South Florida and Hawaii, FEMA's chief said Thursday.

In a departure from its traditional expectation that states develop such responses, the agency is forming "base plans" for responding to specific calamities, FEMA Administrator R. David Paulison said in an interview Thursday with The Associated Press.

FEMA officials expect to finish plans for a massive Bay Area quake by the end of the year and are at work on another response blueprint for a large quake on the New Madrid fault, which runs from southern Illinois to northeastern Arkansas and lurks beneath St. Louis, Paulison said.

FEMA also is preparing for a Category 5 hurricane in the Miami area and has nearly completed response guidelines for a failure of the 143-mile dike around Lake Okeechobee, northwest of Miami, he said. About 45,000 people live in flood-prone areas around the lake.

My apologies Mod, I am NOT starting threads to compile points that don't really count for much when I step away from this computer, I will try to include more "opinion" in any other threads I may start....

Planet X incoming ...

What's funny about this, is the hurricane season is almost over,
when is this Miami storm approaching? Next season w/ HAARP
weapons? Who knows, I do know that Miami and the Keys are
asking for destruction like subways in LA, it'll be as bad as NOLA
when Katrina hit.
