Subject: 9am State phone call Sunday

 

Here's my take on the State phone call today at 0900 .  Please disseminate
as you see appropriate:

 

Prediction from NWS:

- There is low probability of Gustav hitting Tx coast line

- there is a high probability of it hitting around new Orleans

- There is a high probability of a heavy rain event in East Texas Tuesday or
Wednesday

 

Action:

- Tx will provide mass care in Nth Texas, Austin, San Antonio

- mass care/shelter phone conf this afternoon for 150+ shelter operation

- 7800 special needs have been evacuated from SE Texas

 

Once it is certain that Tx will not receive a direct hit:

- due to the heavy rain forecast, a large operation will be underway to
return evacuees to their place of origin

- this will place a heavy load on fuel supplies for the 700+ buses and also
on highways 

    this has to be complete before the heavy rain event

 

Our mission?

Our value will be in the following;

- we should support any restriction to above evacuation objectives

      fuel shortages, traffic problems, 

- special needs

- most activities would be outside Harris County, so most useful
communications may be via

        HF nets (ARES, RACES on Monday?, MARS)
