Giving emergency supplies to help build a disaster supply kit and having an emergency communications plan can go a long way to ensure that your family is prepared for any emergency. A list of possible gifts that may assist in disasters includes: • Disaster kits for homes, offices and cars (first aid kits; food, water and prescription medications for 72 hours, extra clothing, blankets, and flashlights) • NOAA weather radios with extra batteries • Enrollment in a CPR or first -aid class • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors • Fire extinguishers (for the kitchen, garage, car, etc.) • Foldable ladders for second -story escape in a fire • Winter car kits (emergency flares, shovels, ice scrapers, flashlights and fluorescent distress flags, jumper cables) • Pet disaster kits (food, water, leashes, dishes, toys, and carrying case or crate) • Battery powered lamps Emergency supplies are important, but it is also essential to discuss what your family will do in case of an emergency. This year, consider at least one of these gift ideas. You just may save the life of a friend or family member. For more information and preparedness tips, please visit Ready.gov and FEMA.gov. Whole Community and You Over the past year or so, FEMA has engaged many of its emergency management partners – including local, tribal, state, territorial representatives; academia; nongovernmental organizations; community members and the private sector — in a dialogue on a whole community approach to emergency management. Based on these many meaningful and substantive conversations, FEMA synthesized what it has learned, and published A Whole Community Approach to Emergency Management: Principles, Themes, and Pathways for Action on its website. This document reflects some of the successes of a whole community approach across the country. We share this with you today in an effort to enhance the resiliency and security of our Nation through the whole community approach. As always, FEMA will continue to support a national dialogue to exchange ideas, recommendations, and success stories, and we encourage you to continue to send feedback about the whole community document and approach to FEMA - Community -Enga ement _fema.gov. Release of New "If You See Something, Say Something Campaign" Spanish - Language PSAs Secretary Napolitano this week unveiled new Spanish - language Public Service Announcements (PSAs) for the department's "If You See Something, Say SomethingTM11 public awareness campaign during a roundtable meeting with Hispanic law enforcement groups at the White House.

FEMA Stresses Preparedness as we Reflect on the 200th Anniversary of the New Madrid Earthquake Events Last Friday marked the 200 -year anniversary of the first event of the New Madrid Earthquake sequence, which is considered to be most powerful quake- series the U.S. has ever experienced. According to the U.S. Geological Survey U� SGS), during 1811 -12, the central Mississippi valley was violently shaken by a series of three earthquakes above a magnitude 7, and up to 200 substantial aftershocks. Today, a similar risk still exists across the nation including within the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which includes Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. The 2011 East Coast earthquake and the recent Oklahoma earthquake illustrate the fact that it is impossible to predict when or where an earthquake will occur, so it is important you and your family are prepared ahead of time Would you know what to do in the event of an earthquake? How can you rp epare yourself, your family, and your community for a possible earthquake? For the answers to these questions, and many more, visit the Ready.gov website.

Seeking Input on a New and Improved Approach for Mapping Flood Risk Around Levees As part of its ongoing efforts to reform and strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program, FEMA has been working with members of Congress and other stakeholders to revise its process for mapping the flood risk of communities and families living behind levees. FEMA's goal is to improve the way it maps this flood risk so families have more precise information when making decisions about how to protect their homes and properties. FEMA has worked extensively with stakeholders, technical experts and the public on this new approach and continues to seek comments from stakeholders and the public on this proposal. This public comment period is open until January 30, 2012. For more information about this proposed approach to help communities demonstrate the degree of protection a levee may provide to the surrounding communities, please visit the federal register. The full blog is also available online: Seeking Input on a New and Improved Approach for Mapping Flood Risk. And as FEMA continues to work to improve its flood mapping process, families and businesses are encouraged to better understand the flood risk they face within their own communities and take steps to protect themselves and their homes against a potential flood. Steps can include flood proofing techniques to mitigate flood risk to their own homes, supporting good land use and building codes in their communities, developing a family communications plan, putting an emergency kit together, and investing in flood insurance.

The class is being held on Friday, February 24th and again be offered on Saturday, February 25th, 2012, at South Regional Library, 8065 Lely Cultural Parkway, Naples 34113. Training will be presented by a meteorologist from the Miami National Weather Service (NWS) Office. Skywarn storm spotters are the "eyes in the field" for the National Weather Service. The Skywarn Certification training is straightforward ... and fun. The class will begin at 10 am and conclude about 3 pm each day. (NOTE. There will be a one -hour break for lunch each day.) The training includes infor- mation and the reporting criteria necessary to report hazardous weather development and /or conditions to the Miami weather forecast office. This class is designed to provide a deeper understanding of hazardous weather effects in South Florida by providing meteorological tools necessary to evaluate the hazardous weather environment. Some of the subjects in- clude thunderstorm classifications, tornadic thunderstorm schematic, and optimum Severe Weather locations within storm cells. FAQs... What is a Storm Spotter? The Skywarn spotter program is a nationwide network of volunteers trained by the National Weather Service (NWS) to report significant weather. Anyone is welcome to participate. Who can attend? Anyone at least 18 years old can be a spotter. Why Skywarn? The NWS's mission is to protect lives and property. When weather conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms or tornadoes are expected to develop, a severe thunderstorm or tornado WATCH is issued. A Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado WARNING is issued when severe weather has been reported by a Skywarn spotter or indicated by Doppler radar. Skywarn volunteers become the NWS's and local Emergency Management's eyes and ears, helping to provide better weather watch and warning services. Who will activate Skywarn? The NWS and /or the local emergency management authorities may activate the Skywarn net whenever there is a threat of severe weather or the NWS issues a severe thunderstorm or tornado watch. What about dual area spotter certification? If you live or work in an area covered by the Tampa weather office, this training will also certify you to report hazardous weather conditions to that office as well.
