IN MAY 1998, after a series of presidential decision directives and congressional actions, President Bill Clinton announced the formation of 10 weapons of mass destruction-civil support teams (WMD-CST) within the National Guard.2 The original 10 teams were located 1 per Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) region to coordinate with federal agencies and synchronize training and operational responses to terrorist incidents region-wide. The JFHQ is not staffed or resourced to perform the day-to-day operations required to command CSTs, and even states with robust directorates of military support (DOMS) lack an intermediate-level CST command capability-the DOMS is a planning and policy coordination staff, not a tactical command group.6 Currently, there is no formal means to coordinate...
HONOLULU -- The top regional FEMA official said Thursday the agency deserves a perfect score for its response to Hawaii's 6.7 magnitude earthquake, even though relief workers didn't arrive until the crisis had passed. Quite frankly, I'm going to give us a 10," said Nancy Ward, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Region IX, who flew to Hawaii this week to survey damage.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is amending certain emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations that govern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities. The final rule adds a conforming provision in the regulations that govern licenses, certifications, and approvals for new nuclear power plants. The final rule codifies certain voluntary protective measures contained in NRC Bulletin 2005-02, ``Emergency Preparedness and Response Actions for Security-Based Events,'' and generically applicable requirements similar to those previously imposed by Commission orders. In addition, the final rule amends other licensee emergency plan requirements based on a comprehensive review of the NRC's EP regulations and guidance. The requirement...

BUXTON, N.C. A monstrous Hurricane Irene tightened its aim on the Eastern Seaboard on Thursday, threatening 65 million people along a shore-hugging path from North Carolina to New England. One of the nations top experts called it his nightmare scenario. The Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph the threshold for a major hurricane would be the strongest to strike the East Coast in seven years, and people were already getting out of the way. Tens of thousands fled North Carolina beach towns, farmers pulled up their crops, and the Navy ordered ships to sea so they could endure the punishing wind and waves in open water. Forecasters said late Thursday with South Carolina no longer under a hurricane warning, Irene was aiming its fury at North Carolina. The entire coast of North Carolina ...

To avoid extinctions and other harms to ecological health from escalating climatic change, scientists, resource managers, and activists are considering and even engaging in "assisted migration" -- the intentional movement of an organism to an area in which its species has never existed. This article explores the profound implications of climate change for American natural resource management through the lens of this controversial adaptation strategy. It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US. The article explains why contemporary natural resource law's fidelity to historic baselines, protecting preexisting biota, and shielding nature from human activity is increasingly unte...
