Direct Federal Assistance : Arkansas
|
|
Spring, 2007 -- A series of strong storms brought heavy rains and flooding across the Midwest. Many communities were threatened when the rivers swelled and the levees were topped. The President ordered federal aid to help state and local emergency managers respond to potential floods. Rural communities in Arkansas relied on state and federal partners to deliver drinking water and other immediate needs. This video features a glimpse into disaster response activities in the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management (ADEM) in Little Rock, Arkansas, and interviews with Charmaine Mitzlaff, Director of Emergency Management for Searcy County, Aaron Adams, ADEM Event Manager, and Pam Kottke, Searcy County Resident.
When a state requests Direct Federal Assistance following a presidential declaration, FEMA may provide requested commodities, generators or personnel to help save lives and protect property. |

Former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "Hurricane Katrina: An Insider Tells His Side of the Story"
Nominated by President George W. Bush to several Homeland Security positions, Michael D. Brown was twice confirmed by the United States Senate. President Bush nominated Mr. Brown as the first Under Secretary in the Department of Homeland Security. That nomination was preceded by his unique experience as the President's appointee to lead a White House Transition Planning Office team for the newly created Department, making him the only Presidential nominee to work in a legacy agency (FEMA), on the transition team to the new department, and as one of the four senior leaders of the new department.
Prior to his nomination as Under Secretary, President Bush appointed him as General Counsel to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the President nominated Mr. Brown as the Deputy Director of FEMA.
Following the September 11th attacks President Bush named Mr. Brown to the President's Consequence Management Principal's Committee, which served as the White House policy coordination group for the federal response to the attacks. The President later asked him to lead the Consequence Management Working Group to identify and resolve key issues regarding the federal response to future incidents of terrorism.
A native of Oklahoma, Mr. Brown holds a bachelor's degree in Public Administration and Political Science from the University of Central Oklahoma. He received his juris doctorate degree from the Oklahoma City University School of Law where he also taught as an adjunct professor. |
