NOAA’s Capabilities to Support Homeland Security NOAA’s Capabilities to Support Homeland Security Donald Wernly National Weather Service November 28, 2001

Structure Services Cooperative Support Backup Improvement Opportunities NOAA’s Support to Homeland Security Outline of Briefing

NOAA In Your Neighborhood CoastWatch Nodes Weather Forecast Office (121) River Forecast Center (13) NCEP Center (9) Center Weather Service Units (22) NESDIS CoastWatch Nodes (9) NOS HazMat Office NOS Coastal Services Center NESDIS Nat. Climatic Data Center

Realtime and archived environmental data support vulnerability and risk analyses Long and short-range environmental forecasts support preparation, protection, response, and recovery decisions Dispersion forecasts help move people out of harms way Event specific support speeds decision making Direct public dissemination of critical information speeds evacuations Education and coordination ensures effective service use Focused research improves service Services Supporting Homeland Security

Realtime Observations Global data feed NOAA and other agency prediction models Local data support first responder dispersion models Recovery area over-flights assist debris removal Archived Environmental Data Extreme environmental event statistics support preparedness actions Wind, temperature, and precipitation climatologies define hazardous release vulnerabilities Dam break scenarios, storm surge and coastal atlases, and dispersion climatologies define at risk populations Environmental Data

Monthly and seasonal forecasts support preparedness and long term recovery decisions strengthen economic viability of weather sensitive businesses Daily and weekly forecasts support contingency planning illustrate where recovery resources could be diverted Forecasts and warnings from minutes to hours safeguard first responders and attack victims. Aviation and Marine forecasts support Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force protection activities Environmental Forecasts

CAMEO product suite supports first responder decisions for localized hazardous releases HYSPLIT model supports evacuations for radiological emergencies HYSPLIT defines dispersion of hazardous releases exceeding a 10km area. HARM model defines hazardous releases for DOE nuclear facilities Dispersion Forecasts

55 incident meteorologists deploy to event sites 12 HAZMAT scientific support coordinators deploy to hazardous spill and release sites NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) provide onsite support as requested NOAA creates incident specific WEB sites Air Resources Lab provides onsite support for FBI Nuclear Emergency Search Teams Event Specific Support

NOAA Weather Radio Alerts public to extreme events and civil emergency messages (CEMs) Activates the Emergency Alert System Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN) delivers critical information at minimal cost NOAA Weather Wire Service and NOAAPORT deliver information to media and other disseminators Direct Public Dissemination

Service representatives at 121 Weather Forecast Offices and 12 scientific support coordinators nurture local and state officials NWS hosts FEMA’s Hurricane Liaison Team NOAA and FEMA partner on emergency manager courses 10,000 users trained on CAMEO worldwide NOAA’s Coastal Service Center educates users about coastal services Education and Coordination
