Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund We are pleased to present the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Congressional Justification for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF). The FY 2021 Budget Request directly supports the United States’ ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the consequences of a wide range of natural and man-made medical and public health threats and includes the FY 2021 budget justification for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), Cybersecurity, the Office of National Security (ONS), the Office of Global Affairs pandemic influenza program, and the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps led by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH). Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response ASPR’s mission at its core is to save lives and protect Americans. On behalf of HHS, ASPR leads the public health and medical response to disasters and public health emergencies, in accordance with the National Response Framework and Emergency Support Function #8. HHS also supports other federal entities who lead Emergency Support Function #6 with respect to the human and social services, including recovery. ASPR coordinates across HHS, the federal interagency, and supports state, local, territorial, and tribal health partners in preparing for and responding to emergencies and disasters. ASPR also enhances medical surge capacity by organizing, training, equipping, and deploying federal public health and medical personnel and providing logistical support for federal responses to public health emergencies. At the state and local level ASPR supports readiness by coordinating federal grants and cooperative agreements and carrying out drills and operational exercises. Through coordinating the Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise, including the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and Strategic National Stockpile (SNS), ASPR oversees advanced research, development, procurement, and stockpiling of medical countermeasures (e.g. vaccines, medicines, diagnostics, and other necessary medical supplies). ASPR continues to respond to catastrophic hurricanes and other natural disasters by activating National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) personnel to communities impacted by the storms. NDMS is supported by a workforce of up to 6,700 authorized intermittent federal employees organized into 71 teams. Throughout FY 2019, NDMS teams provided public health and medical support for the following: Hurricane Dorian in Florida and Puerto Rico, Presidential State of the Union Address, the National Police Officer Memorial, and the National Independence Day Celebration, United Nations General Assembly, and Representative Elijah Cummings lying in state at the United States Capitol. NDMS teams contain clinical providers and specialized medical service professionals, including physicians, nurses, fatality management professionals, paramedics, veterinarians, and other support staff, such as logisticians and information technology specialists. Years of investment have yielded this coordinated response;

  • Tropical Cyclones 1957
    CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER TROPICAL CYCLONE REPORT TROPICAL CYCLONES 1957 Central Pacific Hurricane Center The tropical cyclone summaries for the years between 1832 and 1979 were taken from A History of Tropical Cyclones In the Central North Pacific and the Hawaiian Islands 1832-1979.This Department of Commerce publication was printed in 1981 and authored by Samuel Shaw of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) and the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Honolulu, Hawaii. The following are excerpts from U.S. Weather Bureau Climatological Data records by David I. Blumenstock, Weather Bureau Climatologist for the Territory of Hawaii at that time. From the Weather Summary for Hawaii - August 1957: "The most remarkable weather events of the month were the appearance in the general area of the Hawaiian Islands of two tropical storms, each of which later developed into a full- fledged hurricane. Since there was a tropical storm in Hawaiian waters during July also, this brought to three the total number of such storms thus far. And since even one identifiable tropical storm during the year is a most unusual event in this area, the present season has most certainly been outstanding in this respect. it is noteworthy that at the same time the number of tropical storms and typhoons in the Western Pacific has been running decidedly below average. It seems likely that this inverse correlation is more than merely coincidental, although the circulation anomalies that would account for such a correlation have not been identified." And, from the Weather Summary for Hawaii - September 1957 "The most striking feature of the weather of September in the area of the Hawaiian Islands was the continual appearance of tropical storms.
