Subject: IM Hurricane Dennis
Thought you all would be interested in Hurricane Dennis Rodman's assault
on the NC coast especially as it relates to communications and emergency
response between a DOT and some pretty heavy hitting emergency response
agencies. As you may have seen on the news Dennis took its time
coming up the coast gaining strength going from a class 1 to a class 3
then stalled, turned around and is coming back down the coast as a
tropical storm.
Hatteras: Good news - the nation's tallest light house was just
successfully moved 1600' and is safe on it's new foundation as the
hurricane batters it's abandoned site. Bad news - Tuesday night the
storm breached the island taking out at least a 1/2 mile of NC 12 and
covering the rest in sand. This is the only land route, the ferry
system had been shut down since Monday. Wed DOT sent 4 bulldozers
and 10 front end loaders to try to cut thru but had to retreat due the
high waves and winds. Meanwhile National Guard Blackhawks airlifted
supplies and evacuated at least one of the 5700 citizens left stranded.
A convoy of national guard vehicles (humvees, a tanker a wrecker and a
cargo truck) got half way in a supply attempt in early hours of the
morning (1am) but retreated as high tide approached. A more
successful attempt was made in the afternoon. Thurs morning DOT
pulled in additional 22 bulldozers 30 front-end loaders, ferrying some of
the equipment to the south end (we've got a navy you know). DOT
divers were scheduled to inspect the 4 mile bridge just prior to this area
today (this is the one that blows my mind - divers in tropical storm
conditions under a bridge with convoys of heavy equipment passing over).
Meanwhile - exactly 200 miles west we're enjoying the most beautiful
weather we've had all year so I'm out of here!

#13. A PUBLIC SAFETY-TRANSPORTATION COALITION
- from Corbin, John
Top
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 19:24:54 -0500
From: "Corbin, John" <john.corbin@dot.state.wi.us>
Subject: A PUBLIC SAFETY-TRANSPORTATION COALITION
A small task force got together, and we drafted a conceptual proposal for
eventual consideration by USDOT and others. The proposal advances a
national coalition between the public safety and transportation
communities.
We are advocating that the ITSA meeting in Boston host an initial
executive panel session between these communities. The attached
draft 2-page proposal provides additional background and a more
substantial action plan to be refined and formally submitted to USDOT.
Ultimately, the proposal is one small attempt to address the challenges of
sporadic and inconsistent engagement of the public safety community as
equal partners in developing and deploying national ITS and local traffic
incident management programs.
Please review this document, and return any comments. If you want
to respond with comments that are open to the reflector, simply reply to
this email. If you have other editorial comments that you prefer to
share with me personally, remember to address your email to me directly.

Subject: NATIONAL ITS DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY
Despite my feeble attempts to access this document through the ITSA web
site, I was unsuccessful. Dave Kelley graciously offered a .pdf
version, which may be of use to others with flaky firewalls and stale WORD
versions.
Subsequent to some initial review, please pipe up if it is feasible to
coalesce a Committee reaction.
