Weekly Disaster News Update Archive

The weekly Disaster News Update was issued to cover current disaster/hazard activity, current FEMA major disaster declarations, and news about volunteer and community programs, response and recovery, preparedness and mitigation, and gulf coast recovery.

Disaster News Updates were distributed by Project TADS, the training and technical assistance provider for disaster services. They were compiled by Jane Bullock, former chief of staff to James Lee Witt, who was the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency from 1992–2000. During her 22-year career at FEMA, Ms. Bullock worked in nearly all of FEMA’s principal disaster programs and served as an agency spokesperson representing FEMA on all the major networks. She co-authored two textbooks, Introduction to Emergency Management and Introduction to Homeland Security.
