Apalachee Bay Region Hurricane Evacuation Study Technical Data Report For Gulf, Franklin, Wakulla and Jefferson Counties, Florida
"The purpose of this Hurricane Evacuation Study is to provide emergency management officials with realistic data by quantifying the major factors involved in hurricane evacuation decision-making. The technical data presented in this report is not intended to replace any detailed operations plans developed by any of the counties within the study area. Rather, this data is provided as a framework of information that each county can use to update and revise their hurricane evacuation plans and operational procedures to improve their response to future hurricane threats. […] Government officials and citizens alike must understand that the Apalachee Bay Region will be struck by a catastrophic hurricane some time in the future and that preparedness is of utmost importance. Obtaining information critical to good hurricane evacuation planning requires comprehensive and specialized analyses. The fiscal and staffing limitations of state and local emergency management agencies usually preclude the development of this data. In order to provide the needed technical information, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have joined the Florida State Emergency Management Office and local emergency management agencies in conducting the Apalachee Bay Region Hurricane Evacuation Study."

Tri-State Hurricane Property Loss Study: Executive Summary for Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi
"This report summarizes the results of the first phase of a two-phase program. The objective of the Tri-State Hurricane Property Loss and Contingency Planning Study, Phase I, is to estimate the property damages that could occur from potential hurricanes striking the most vulnerable areas of the central gulf coast. [...] Quantitative property loss estimates are necessary to form the basis for hurricane recovery plans prepared at the state and local levels. To plan for recovery or to determine potential future mitigation measures against potential losses from hurricanes, governmental agencies must first have an awareness of the potential locations and magnitudes of hurricane hazards. This phase of study identifies the locations within each county that are highly vulnerable to the destructive forces of hurricanes and provides quantitative estimates of potential damages within those locations. The results of this phase of study is to provide a means to determine the location(s) and extent of the geographic area of study to be performed under Phase II."

Climate Change and Water Resources Management: A Federal Perspective
"Many challenges, including climate change, face the Nation's water managers. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has provided estimates of how climate may change, but more understanding of the processes driving the changes, the sequences of the changes, and the manifestation of these global changes at different scales could be beneficial. Since the changes will likely affect fundamental drivers of the hydrological cycle, climate change may have a large impact on water resources and water resources managers. The purpose of this interagency report prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to explore strategies to improve water management by tracking, anticipating, and responding to climate change."

Final Environmental Assessment Realignment of Jenkins Armed Forces Reserve Center (AFRC) Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico BRAC 2005
"This Finding is based on an Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (Environmental Assessment, Realignment of Jenkins Armed Forces Reserve Center, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, BRAC [Defense Base Closure and Realignment] 2005 dated May 2007). That EA analyzed the anticipated environmental impacts of the construction and operation of an Armed Forces Reserve Center (AFRC) on Kirtland AFB (KAFB). In accordance with the U.S. Air Force's (USAF) Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) rules, the Army EA was circulated for review at both KAFB and Air Force Materiel Command and it was determined that the EA satisfies USAF EIAP requirements for adoption. The 2005 amendments to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Act of 1990 (BRAC 05) called for closure of the existing Jenkins AFRC compound in Albuquerque NM and relocation of the AFRC onto KAFB. Jenkins AFRC is currently located approximately one mile north of KAFB. Relocation is to be completed no later than September 2011. In addition to complying with BRAC, the new AFRC facilities will satisfy the following needs not being met at the existing site: compliance with current Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection standards, a facility layout that supports recent force structure and unit organizational changes, and adequate space for future expansion or consolidation."

Hurricane Isabel Assessment: Appendix B - Comparison of Observed SLOSH/Tide Model Computed Storm Tide for Hurricane Isabel (2003) in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and the Delaware Bay and River
"The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Office of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (OHS/FEMA) and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration/National Weather Service (NOAA/NWS) are extensively involved in determining the areas that are prone to flooding by hurricane storm surge along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastlines. Determination of areas prone to storm surge flooding is an essential prerequisite to evacuation planning. Flood potential could be specified through a study of past events if, for the region of interest, a horizontal network of meteorological (pressure and wind) and hydrographic (tide gage) sensors had continuously recorded data during hundreds of historic hurricanes of varying intensity, direction and forward speed. In reality, hurricanes are very rare events for any region along the Atlantic and Gulf coastlines. Also, in the historical cases that do exist, many of the meteorological and hydrographic sensors failed during passage of the hurricane. Thus, for most of the U.S. coastline, the climatology of hurricane storm surge flooding is very limited. To compensate for this lack of historical data, the NOAA/NWS developed a numerical storm surge model termed SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes), Jelesnianski, et al (1992). The SLOSH model, given hurricane input parameters, computes storm surge heights over a geographic area that is covered by a mesh of computational grid points."

Executive Summary of the 2004 Hurricane Season Post Storm Assessment of the National Hurricane Study Products
"Post storm assessments serve as an avenue for FEMA to verify product results and data provided to emergency management through the Hurricane Evacuation Study (HES) Program. They also guide future enhancements to insure effective hurricane evacuation and logistical decision-making techniques. Emergency Management at all levels depends upon the evacuation decision assistance tools produced by the NHP, and the post storm assessment is the key component designed to improve those products. The purpose of the Hurricane assessments is to evaluate the performance of existing National Hurricane Program (NHP) evacuation decision assistance products and program initiatives for emergency management at all levels, and to direct future NHP preparedness, training, and public awareness activities based on detailed post storm Transportation, Behavioral, Shelter, Evacuation Decision Making Analyses and impact assessments. The post storm assessment is a vital tool that allows the NHP to calibrate, correct, and improve models and products that serve as primary decision assistance tools for emergency managers."
