Title: Prescott National Forest Plans to Burn Slash Piles
Body:

(February 5, 2010 – 9:30 a.m.) Fire managers on Prescott National Forest plan to burn accumulated slash piles on Monday, Feb. 8 through Friday, Feb. 12, weather conditions permitting.  The piles are located on Spruce Mountain, various locations in Groom Creek and Ponderosa Park.

 

The week of Feb. 1 through Feb. 5, fire managers treated 40 acres of accumulated slash piles.

 

Specific days to burn are determined by current and expected weather patterns.  Depending on conditions, any of the areas may be treated during the 5 day period.  These piles will be monitored and allowed to completely burn themselves out.  Smoke may be visible in the surrounding areas.

 

This project is part of an ongoing effort to improve forest health by reintroducing fire into the ecosystem, reducing hazardous fuels, and creating defensible space around residential and high use areas.

 

 The public can obtain fire information via the following:

 

·         Prescott NF Fire Information Hotline:  928-777-5799

Title: Navajo Nation Officials Urge Caution; Livestock Grazing on Plowed Roads
Body:

(February 4, 2010 – 7:00 p.m.) Throughout the year, livestock owners are notified and informed about livestock grazing along the main highways across the Navajo Nation. Since the recent snowfall the animals are beginning to graze along the main highways because the deep snow covers grass and plants in the forest.  Also as the roads are being cleared, horses and cattle are beginning to graze in the cleared areas. 

Motorists are placed in danger when animals get on the highways. The likelihood of someone hitting an animal becomes greater because of narrow, plowed roads, especially at night.  

Livestock owners need to be responsible by keeping their animals off the highways. Most chapters have been assisting their community members with hay during this state of emergency so individuals need to contact their local chapter government.   

 Navajo Nation Department of Agriculture shared a rough estimate of the numbers of livestock on the Navajo Nation at this time:

 Agency              Cattle     Horses    Sheep        

Tuba City          20,630     5,419     28,898     

Shiprock           11,014     2,648     14,215

Title: State Opens Assistance Center in Gila County
Body:

(Feb. 3, 2010 – 11 a.m.) Arizonans in Gila County who are still wrestling with the aftermath of severe winter storms last month are getting a new resource.

 

Citizens in Gila County with questions about recovery or a disaster-related need, whether it be food, temporary housing  or crisis counseling, are invited to the State Individual Assistance Service Center, 45072 N. Highway 188 (Silver Ridge Custom Homes, Inc.), starting Feb. 4 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Visitors are asked to bring identification and to be prepared to describe their need.

 

Parts of the area near Punkin Center, Tonto Basin and Gisela in Gila County were acutely impacted by record precipitation. Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDAs) for Individual Assistance were done in the area to assess damage to residential and commercial properties and identify unresolved needs.

 

“After identifying the depth of those needs, the State is opening an Individual Assistance Service Center in Tonto Basin as a centralized location where residents can get the information and recovery services they need,” Lou Trammell, Arizona Division of Emergency Management (ADEM) Director, said.

 

The State Emergency Call Center is open to take public inquiries about the damage assessment process, reports of disaster-related damage, and other related questions. The center is staffed by operators 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The number is 1-877-464-1144.

Title: State Deactivating Emergency Operations Center; Assistance Center Still Open
Body:

(Feb. 2, 2010 – 3:20 p.m.) The State of Arizona is deactivating the State Emergency Operations Center today, a significant step that emphasizes disaster recovery operations are in full gear.

 

There are still communities that need help recovering from the winter storm in late January that dumped record amounts of rain and snow across Arizona, resulting in flooding.

 

The State Individual Assistance Service Center (IASC) is open at the Black Canyon City “Old School,” 18800 School House Road, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Residents affected by the disaster who have related questions or needs, like food and housing assistance or crisis counseling, should bring identification and be prepared to describe their need.

 

The Arizona Department of Housing is working in partnership with Catholic Charities to provide housing assistance to residents displaced by flooding in Black Canyon City.

 

Catholic Charities will be on site at the IASC from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4, to assist residents in obtaining security deposits and rent assistance for temporary or permanent housing. Catholic Charities will also have information available on state-financed rental properties that will waive security deposits and allow month-to-month leases for victims of the flood.

 

People unable to visit the IASC for housing assistance on Feb. 4 can call Catholic Charities directly. In Prescott, call (928) 778-2531 and in Cottonwood call (928) 634-4254.

 

The Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation continue to need “cow hay,” or grass, to feed livestock. Citizens who can donate hay should contact the State Emergency Call Center at the statewide phone number, 1-877-464-1144. Donors are asked to supply transportation of hay contributions if at all possible. Road conditions in some areas may require a four-wheel drive vehicle for safe delivery.

 

“We are now in a recovery phase of this disaster,” Lou Trammell, Arizona Division of Emergency Management (ADEM) Director, said. “Lots of hard work and long hours have been spent by responders helping folks hard hit by this emergency. Now we must concentrate on helping the communities get back on their feet.”

 

The State of Arizona is gathering information to pursue a Major Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance and Public Assistance from the President. The first step in the process is to perform Preliminary Damage Assessments of residential and commercial property and public infrastructure. People with disaster-related damage to their home and/or commercial property should call the State Emergency Call Center at 1-877-464-1144 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to file a report.

 

The State Incident Management Team managing Operation Winter Storm has answered the needs of countless people who live in secluded and unreachable areas of the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe.

 

Since Operation Winter Storm began, 42,504 Meals Ready-to-Eat (MRE) have been distributed, as well as 21,780 gallons of water. Area residents have also received 815 wood bundles, 279 cots, and 5,475 blankets.

 

During the emergency relief operations, more than 100 Arizona National Guard Soldiers and Airmen have been deployed to rural parts of the state to help with transportation and the distribution of food, water, and other vital items.

Title: Navajo Nation Promotes Coordination Among Chapters, Operations Center
Body:

(Feb. 1, 2010 – 3:47 p.m.) The continued coordination between the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) and chapter administrations need to continue on behalf of all who are living in weather impacted areas of the Navajo Nation.

 

EOC is depending on livestock owners and people living in remote areas to begin planning on temporary shelters or relocations to alternative sites. This will minimize repeat rescues of the same individuals.

 

People with livestock need to plan on alternative camps for sheep, cattle and horses, if they are having trouble on making resources such as hay, feed and water available on a timely basis.

 

In the next few weeks, low lying areas are at high risk for flooding and mud conditions are expected to increase in areas with deep snow. Communities should contact the EOC for sandbags and for assistance with planning and preparedness.

 

The Emergency Operation Center would like to stress that donations are dwindling and supplies are limited. People needing further assistance should continue to work with their respective chapters.

 

Most chapters are opened and providing shelters after hours for people who may be stranded because of the weather. It is advisable for people to leave their homes in the early morning hours while the ground is frozen to replenish supplies and to return quickly; if not, return trips should be done late in the evening as the ground freezes.

Title: Winter Safety Still Primary Concern of Navajo Operation Center
Body:

(Feb. 1, 2010 – 11:30 a.m.) Window Rock Police reported a weather related death seven miles north of Crystal Chapter on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

An 88-year-old woman was found in the middle of the road by a road grader operator. Police report that the elderly woman insisted on visiting her sister at 4 a.m. Her vehicle got stuck in the mud, and she apparently left on foot. Her body was located 25 yards from her vehicle. The death is believed to be weather related. 

Chinle Police District will check on an individual believed to be stranded at a sheep camp northeast of Pinon Chapter. The Emergency Operation Center, Deputy Incident Commander David Nez explained,

“The EOC focus is on reports of large groups of people isolated by the weather conditions. Reports of individuals needing assistance is referred to the local chapter.”

Reports of missing people or people who haven’t been heard from are priority calls with the Emergency Operation Center. Response is sent out and followed through. At this time there are no missing people reports.

Much of the needs in the remote areas of the weather impacts have been met through cooperative efforts by Apache, Navajo, and Coconino Counties, including local emergency responders, Chapter Governments, the Emergency Operation Center and the Arizona State Incident Management Team.

In Search and Rescue Operations, efforts are hampered by road conditions in remote areas. Main roads are graded and kept open for school buses and emergency response.

The Emergency Operation Center is continuing to stress emergency preparedness for anyone planning to spend an extended time in the outdoors. Individuals should dress appropriately for winter weather. People should travel in pairs and keep in touch with relatives, their home or work base.

It is also advisable that people carry a dependable communication system, water and non-perishable food, matches, flash lights with batteries. Each vehicle should also have tire chains and shovels. Travel on foot is not advised in winter weather conditions.

EOC Deputy Incident Commander, David Nez concludes that, “We need to respect the winter condition around us. It is a great blessing to the environment to have all this moisture.”
