  • Exhibit 1 Catastrophic Hurricane Planning New Orleans Metropolitan Area
    EXHIBIT 1 CATASTROPHIC HURRICANE PLANNING NEW ORLEANS METROPOLITAN AREA Statement Of Work - Task Order #A25 Emw-2000-Co-0247 I. PURPOSE: The purpose of this statement of work (SOW) is to obtain enhanced disaster response planning i technical support, specifically research and analytical support,.to assist the staff with the task of enhancing Federal Response Planning activities by focusing on specific catastrophic disasters: those disasters that by definition will immediately overwhelm the existing disaster response capabilities of local, state, and federal governments. An initial area of focus will be New Orleans, Louisiana. The goal of this project is to improve Federal, State, local-government, and private-sector ability to respond to a worst-case catastrophic hurricane in the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan Area in order to prevent loss of life; minimize the number of injuries; house, feed, and protect up to a million survivors and evacuees; and begin long-term recovery in the affected area. Contractor planning and technical expertise is needed to research and analyze operational scenarios, concepts and issues to support the decision-making process of the Federal, state, and local emergency management community. The contractor will also be required to develop decision support aids or tools that may take the form of issue papers, information papers, and research and,analytical reports. @ Work completed by the contractor under this SOW should support the eventual development of an introductory general plan and a set of sub-plans that would constitute a comprehensive plan titled "New Orleans Metropolitan Area Catastrophic Hurricane Plan." The proposed plan will be designed so that parts of the plan can be revised, updated, and distributed periodically without requiring revision of the whole plan.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.
