Erosion and Deposition on a Beach Raised by the 1964 Earthquake Montague Island, Alaska
"On March 27, 1964, an earthquake
shook parts of Alaska and
caused great devastation in inhabited
areas. However, maximum uplift
took place, and large bedrock
faults were active, on Montague
Island, an uninhabited island off
the southern coast of Alaska.
The southern end of Montague
Island was uplifted as much as 33
feet or more during the earthquake
(fig. 1), and two active
faults several miles long caused
many landslides and broke or displaced
many hundreds of trees
(Plafker, 1967). Around the coast,
marine deposits and a marine-abraded
bedrock platform were
lifted above sea level and exposed
to subaerial processes.
The uplift associated with the
earthquake has provided physio-graphic
conditions on a scale much
larger than could be simulated in a
laboratory and with the added advantage
that the features and
changes were natural. The bay-head
deposits of MacLeod Harbor
(figs. 1, 2) on the northwest coast
of the island provided an undissected
surface, about 1 square mile
in area and with a slope of only 20',
which had been suddenly uplifted
33 feet. On this surface, consequent
drainage channels were init.iated
and were rapidly eroded
vertically and laterally; thus, a
unique opportunity was provided
to study the effects of rapid uplift
on the mode and rate of fluvial
processes and the resultant valley
forms and long profiles.
The earthquake also brought to
view a bedrock platform and associated
deposits, which allowed
observation and measurement of
features that are usually under
water and therefore difficult to
study.On both sides of the island the
amount of subaerial modification
of the 1964 raised beach could be
measured. Especially important
was the opportunity to study the
area only 15 months after the
earthquake. In the MacLeod Harbor
area, rivers in soft sediments
have adjusted so swiftly that evidence
of the post-earthquake history
of the area will soon be removed
by erosion. Subaerial
degradation of the raised beaches
and abandoned seadiffs is so rapid
that within a few years little of the
original marine form will be left
unchanged, and the growth of vegetation,
which has already begun
on the beach, will hasten its
obliteration."

Tectonics of the March 27, 1964 Earthquake
"The March 27, 1964, earthquake was accomp anied by crustal deformation-including warping, horizontal distortion, and faulting-over probably more than 110,000 square miles of land and sea bottom in south-central Alaska. Regional uplift and subsidence occurred mainly in two nearly parallel elongate zones, together about 600 miles long and as much as 250 miles wide, that lie along the continental margin. From the earthquake epicenter in northern Prince William Sound, the deformation extends eastward 190 miles almost to long 142° and southwestward slightly more than 400 miles to about long 155°. It extends across the two zones from the chain of active volcanoes in the Aleutian Range and Wrangell Mountains probably to the Aleutian Trench axis.
Uplift that averages 6 feet over broad areas occurred mainly along the coast of the Gulf of Alaska, on the adjacent Continental Shelf, and probably on the continental slope. This uplift attained a measured maximum on land of 38 feet in a northwest-trending narrow belt less than 10 miles wide that is exposed on Montague Island in southwestern Prince William Sound. Two earthquake faults exposed on Montague Island are subsidiary northwest-dipping reverse faults along which the northwest blocks were relatively displaced a maximum of 26 feet, and both blocks were upthrown relative to sea level. From Montague Island, the faults and related belt of maximum uplift may extend southwestward on the Continental Shelf to the vicinity of the Kodiak group of islands. To the north and northwest of the zone of uplift, subsidence forms a broad asymmetrical downwarp centered over the Kodiak-Kenai-Chugach Mountains that averages 2½ feet and attains a measured maximum of 7½ feet along the southwest coast of the Kenai Peninsula. Maximum indicated uplift in the Alaska and Aleutian Ranges to the north of the zone of subsidence was l½ feet. Retriangulation over roughly 25,000 square miles of the deformed region in and around Prince William Sound shows that vertical movements there were accompanied by horizontal distortion, involving systematic shifts of about 64 feet in a relative seaward direction. Comparable horizontal movements are presumed to have affected those parts of the major zones of uplift and subsidence for which retriangulation data are unavailable."

Road Weather Management Best Practices
"The impacts of weather on the nation's road system greatly affect safety, mobility, and productivity. Weather affects roadway safety through in-creased crash risk, as well as expo-sure to weather-related hazards. On average 7,130 fatalities and 629,000 injuries occur every year during ad-verse weather conditions. Weather impacts roadway mobility by increasing travel time delay, reducing traffic volume throughput and speeds, increasing speed variance (a measure of speed uniformity), and decreasing roadway capacity (maximum rate at which vehicles can travel). Further, weather events influence productivity by disrupting access to road networks, and increasing road operating and maintenance costs."

Final Report of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee's Working Group on Airport Access Control
"On January 8, 2015, the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA's) Acting Administrator asked the Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC) to identify new security measures for industry employees to address potential vulnerabilities related to the sterile areas of US airports. The catalyst for this request was the news that an employee gun-smuggling ring had been uncovered at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The ASAC convened a broad cross section of leading experts from airports, airlines, law enforcement, labor, and airport users to create the Working Group on Airport Access and Control (the WG) for the purposes of this tasking. The WG was given 90 days to study how vulnerabilities are addressed through existing TSA security programs, industry best practices, methods of employee screening within and outside the US, and visit a few US airports. The WG developed recommendations to address concerns prompted by the discovery of a gun smuggling ring operating, but they also go well beyond that concern. […] The ASAC's recommendations were developed within the context of Risk-Based Security (RBS), a holistic approach to aviation security endorsed throughout every level of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This approach acknowledges the globally interconnected aspects of the US air transport system, the varied infrastructures supporting it, the availability of robust employee pre-screening systems, and the need to apply finite aviation security resources efficiently and effectively. The recommendations also acknowledge the view that there are significant differences in the threats posed by criminal activity and terrorism and that the risks and proposed mitigation efforts must recognize this difference."

Stop.Think.Connect. Cyber Awareness Coalition
"The repercussions of cybercrimes can be just as severe and far-reaching as those caused by national disasters or terrorist attacks. Cybercrimes can shut off power, disrupt banks, scramble emergency calls, stall transportation or lock down commercial facilities. The targets of these attacks can vary--with some focusing on networks belonging to large organizations and others preying on individual Americans. Given this unprecedented and rapidly escalating threat, federal agencies as well as state, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) governments must play a role in educating their employees and constituents to identify and deter online dangers. To make the Internet a safer place for all Americans, federal agencies and SLTT governments must share in the responsibility to promote heightened awareness about cybersecurity and safer online practices. In an effort to encourage much needed federal agency and SLTT government leadership support on this important issue, the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Stop.Think. Connect. Campaign created the Cyber Awareness Coalition. The Coalition serves as an outlet for Federal agencies and SLTT governments to work directly with DHS and the Stop.Think. Connect. Campaign to promote awareness about cyber threats and safe online practices both within their organizations and with the general public."

LLIS Lesson Learned: Family Resource Centers: Support Services to Victims from Multiple Jurisdictions
"The fire that destroyed the Station Club in West Warwick, Rhode Island on February 20, 2003, resulted in 100 deaths and over 200 injuries. After recovery operations ended, personnel from the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA) and the Rhode Island Department of Human Services established a Family Resource Center (FRC) in West Warwick. The FRC provided a single location where victims and their families could access municipal, state, and federal government assistance programs. Because 40 percent of the fire's fatalities were from out of state, visitors to the FRC included victims and families from Connecticut and Massachusetts, as well as Rhode Island. […] Some assistance programs available at the FRC were state-administered programs, such as disability insurance, food stamps, and Medicaid. Several Rhode Island state agencies worked at the FRC to ensure that victims and their families had a comprehensive understanding of their assistance programs. To assist out-of-state visitors, RIEMA officials invited Connecticut and Massachusetts state agencies to staff the FRC. The invited state agencies, however, provided only minimal representation to the FRC. Although no victim or family member suffered because of their absence, The Rhode Island Station Club Fire After- Action Report states that greater involvement from Connecticut and Massachusetts would likely have been beneficial."

Fuse: Igniting Conversations and Commentary About Energy [website]
From the 'About Us' section: "'When it comes to energy security, the United States veers constantly between panic and complacency.' These words were said by James Schlesinger, the only man who served as both the Secretary of Energy and Secretary of Defense. The Fuse was founded with a single purpose: to provide a trustworthy source of news, analysis, and commentary on all aspect of the energy security debate, and guide a conversation that understands the urgency of our energy security challenges while maintaining a clear vision of solutions. The term 'energy security' is used in many contexts by different interests to achieve a variety of aims. For the environmental movement, transitioning our transportation sector away from oil is framed as an energy security objective in the broader context of achieving climate and energy efficiency goals. For the oil and gas industry, energy security means increasing our domestic energy supply. For us, it means both."

LLIS Lesson Learned: Large-Scale Building Collapse: Replacement Protective Gear for Emergency Responders
"On April 19, 1995, a massive terrorist bomb ripped through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, collapsing major portions of the structure. The resulting collapse area was a dangerous mesh of wires, debris, piping, furniture, carpet, rebar, and concrete. Such collapse material was extremely abrasive and harsh on responders' protective clothing. Emergency responders working in the collapse area went through three sets of leather gloves within one shift and a pair of steel-toed boots within two to three shifts. Similarly, clothing and knee and elbow pads were frequently torn and ruined. In addition, rain and burst water pipes quickly soaked responders' clothing and increased the risk of fluid contamination, necessitating that the clothing be replaced often. Logistics personnel worked with nearby Tinker Air Force Base and the Oklahoma City community to acquire large quantities of replacement clothing, boots, gloves, protective padding, and other personal products. When responding to a large-scale building, IC [Incident Command] and logistics officers should recognize that protective gear must be regularly replaced throughout the search and rescue operation. Logistics personnel should coordinate with the military, local community, and others to ensure that replacement gear is readily accessible."

LLIS Lesson Learned: Multi-Agency Investigations: Ensuring Security on Conference Calls
"The October 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C. area triggered a law enforcement response spanning multiple jurisdictions and agencies. Local, state, and federal law enforcement officials established regular conference calls to exchange information and solicit feedback regarding strategies, tactics, and leads. Access codes were provided to a wide variety of agencies and jurisdictions participating in the investigation. Media leaks soon became a serious problem, as information shared in the calls began appearing in 'news flashes.' Finding the source of the leaks proved difficult because nobody knew how widely the access codes had been disseminated, and there was no mechanism to track participation on the calls. Eventually, participants grew reluctant to share sensitive information for fear unauthorized individuals were on the calls. Some agencies began to rely on face-to-face meetings, leading to feelings of exclusion and suboptimal information flow. One agency began to withhold the names of witnesses and suspects, relying on fictional aliases instead. During an investigation, multi-agency conference calls should take place in a confidential environment. Access codes for the calls should be changed periodically and not be widely disseminated. Measures should be taken to track participation on the calls at all times. Such precautions will help ensure the integrity of conference calls and maximize the information agencies are comfortable sharing."

LLIS Lesson Learned: Emergency Planning: Developing Triggers for Activating Statewide Burn Disaster Response Plans
"The US Department of Health and Human Services sponsored and conducted the New York Statewide Burn Disaster Response Plan Tabletop Exercise (TTX) in conjunction with the New York State Department of Health, Health Emergency Preparedness Program, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and the Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness Program in Brooklyn, New York, on January 29, 2009. Personnel from 23 state, local, and private sector health organizations and hospitals participated in the TTX. The TTX was conducted in two sessions, one for the New York City participants and another for upstate New York participants. TTX goals included the assessment, review, and validation of key concepts and capabilities outlined in the New York Statewide Burn Disaster Response Plan. The TTX tested the statewide medical surge and communications capabilities in response to an incident involving a large number of burn victims in upstate New York and New York City. The upstate New York exercise scenario simulated a fire in the Finger Lakes area that resulted in 300 victims, of which 50 experienced significant burns. The New York City exercise scenario simulated 400 victims, of which 100 experienced significant burns, after a large fire at a nightclub in New York City's East Village. […] State and local health officials should consider developing triggers for activating the statewide burn disaster response plan. This can streamline the decision process for activating the state burn plan."
