UPDATE: President Obama has signed Emergency Declarations for the
following states: North Carolina, New York, Virginia, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Rhode Island , Maryland, Delaware,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
.
This morning, President Obama was briefed once again by DHS Secretary
Janet Napolitano, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, and senior White House
officials about preparations being made for Hurricane Irene. Following the
briefing, the President urged Americans in the projected path of the
hurricane to take precautions now:
.
Dont delay. We all hope for the best, but we have to be prepared for the
worst. All of us have to take this storm seriously. You need to listen
to your state and local officials, and if you are given an evacuation
order, please follow it. Just to underscore this point: We ordered an
aircraft carrier group out to sea to avoid this storm yesterday. So if
youre in the way of this hurricane, you should be preparing now.
.
Visit Ready.gov or Listo.gov for resources on how you can prepare your
families, home, and businesses for a hurricane. You can get the latest
updates on the progression of Hurricane Irene at Hurricanes.gov.
.
The President also provided an overview of ongoing federal preparations:
.
Now, since last weekend, FEMA has been deploying its Incident Management
Assistance Teams to staging areas in communities up and down the coast.
FEMA has millions of liters of water, millions of meals, and tens of
thousands of cots and blankets, along with other supplies, pre-positioned
along the Eastern Seaboard. And the American Red Cross has already begun
preparing shelters in North Carolina and other states.
.
These resources are all being coordinated with our state and local
partners, and they stand ready to be deployed as necessary. But, again, if
you are instructed to evacuate, please do so. It's going to take time for
first responders to begin rescue operations and to get the resources we've
pre-positioned to people in need. So the more you can do to be prepared
now -- making a plan, make a supply kit, know your evacuation route,
follow instructions of your local officials -- the quicker we can focus
our resources after the storm on those who need help the most.
.
To sum up, all indications point to this being a historic hurricane.
Although we cant predict with perfect certainty the impact of Irene over
the next few days, the federal government has spent the better part of
last week working closely with officials in communities that could be
affected by this storm to see to it that we are prepared. So now is the
time for residents of these communities -- in the hours that remain -- to
do the same. And FEMA and Craig Fugate, the director of FEMA, will be
keeping people closely posted in the next 24, 48 hours.
