Whitefield Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2017 This Plan integrates the following: Hazard Mitigation Plan Update (FEMA) Community Wildfire Protection Plan (DRED) July 14, 2017 Final for Town Adoption Prepared for the Town of Whitefield and NH Homeland Security & Emergency Management By The Whitefield Planning Team With assistance from Mapping and Planning Solutions Whitefield Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2017 “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything. There is a very great distinction because when you are planning for an emergency you must start with this one thing: The very definition of "emergency" is that it is unexpected, therefore it is not going to happen the way you are planning.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN DEFINITIONS ”A natural hazard is a source of harm or difficulty created by a meteorological, environmental, or geological event.” “Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards (44CFR 201.2). Hazard mitigation activities may be implemented prior to, during, or after an event. However, it has been demonstrated that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs.” (Source: Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide, FEMA, October 1, 2011) Plan Prepared and Authored By June E.

  • The M Street Journal Radio's Journal of Record NEW YORK NASHVILLE
    The M Street Journal Radio's Journal of Record NEW YORK NASHVILLE January 4, 2001 Vol. 18 No. 01 CARVING UP THE FCC. The Republican leadership of the incoming 107th Congress is hungrily eyeing a major reform of the FCC, so that a future Bill Kennard can't hold up mergers for anti -trust reviews and pursue tangents like Low Power FM and EEO. That's how House Republican leader Billy Tauzin sees it, and he's the probable new Chairman of the Commerce Committee. What's different now is that he'll have a Republican - leaning FCC Chairman to work with. That could be current Commissioner Michael Powell (if he wants the promotion) or someone else. But it's clear the FCC will act and maybe look very different when we play "Auld Lang Syne" next December. Word from Capitol Hill is that Bush campaign deputy general Counsel Kevin Martin is running the FCC Transition Team for the new administration. Martin previously was an aide to FCC Commissioner Harold Furchtgott -Roth, so he knows his way around the Portals. VERY LOCAL RADIO. .Looks like as many as 255 Low Power FM licenses will be issued starting as soon as the end of this month - and perhaps 600 to 700 overall. And - the FCC continues on- course to open its next LPFM filing window January 16- 22 for CO, DE, HI, ID, MO, NY, OH, SC, SD, WI and American Samoa. But almost none of these licenses will be in large or medium markets, thanks to the Congressional mandate to keep the FCC's hands off of current interference standards for FM.
