Re: PREP06F125
Dear Ms. Sloan:
This letter is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated
September 7,2005, to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). You requested copies of all records relating to
FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina. Item 2 of your request concerning the amount of
money diverted from emergency preparedness for natural disasters to emergency
preparedness for acts of terrorism and the rationale behind any such diversion, was
subsequently forwarded to the Preparedness Directorate. Your request was received in
the Preparedness Directorate on March 23,2006.
After a thorough search of Preparedness files, no records responsive to your request were
identified. Other directorates are also providing a direct response to you.
You have the right to appeal this determination that no records exist which would be
responsive to your request. Should you wish to do so, you must send your appeal within
60 days of the date of this letter to: Office of the General Counsel, Department of
Homeland Security, Washington, D.C. 20528, following the procedures outlined in
Subpart A, Section 5.9, of the DHS Regulations. Your envelope and letter should be
marked "Freedom of Information Act Appeal." The implementing Department
regulations establish the criteria under which the FOIA is administered. Copies of the
FOIA and regulations are available at www.DHS.gov.
There are no fees associated with the processing of this request.
Should you need further assistance, please contact me at (202) 282-8522.

breaches, as well as proposed repairs or other construction to the levees.
In addition, your letter stated that "CREW further seeks ail memoranda, communications
and records of any kind and from any source, regardless of format, medium, or physical
characteristics, from August 26,2005 through the preser,t, discussing or mentioning in
any way:
1. Requests for emergency assistance from local government officials in Mississippi
and Louisiana in response to Hurricane Katrina;
2. Requests from local government officials in Mississippi and Louisiana for
assistance in preparing for Hurricane Katrina, including, but not limited to
communications requesting assistance in evacuating residents of Mississippi and
Louisiana from the areas in the hurricane's path;
3. Communications between the White House and FEMA regarding the preparation
for and response to the damage caused by hurricane Katrina;
4. Communications regarding the conditions in the New Orleans Convention Center;
5. Communications regarding the need for transportation to evacuate victims of the

assist hurricane relief efforts; and
12. Communications regarding the limitations placed on journalists and
photographers, including, but not limited to, efforts to prevent photographers from
taking pictures of the corpses of hurricane victims in Louisiana and Mississippi.
In responding to a FOIA request, FEMA's search will include responsive records in its
control on the date the search began. FEMA's search began September 24,2005.
This partial release is granted at no cost to you. Enclosed are releasable portions of
Hurricane Katrina situation reports and of e-mails that relate to your request. After
thorough legal review of these documents, I have determined that portions of them are
exempt from disclosure under exemptions 2 and 6 of the Freedom of Information Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(2) and (6), as amended. We are releasing a total of 327 pages, all
of which are released in part.
We are withholding portions of the e-mails under the following FOIA exemptions. We
are withholding Government cell phone numbers, non-"@dhs.gov" or
" @ a ~ ~ ~ c i a t e ~ . d government
h ~ . g ~ ~ " e-mail addresses, non-DHS government phone
numbers, and internal administrative information under FOIA Exemption 2("High 2").
High 2 protects information applicable to internal administrative and personnel matters,
to the extent that disclosure would risk circumvention of an agency regulation or statute,
impede the effectiveness of an agency's activities, or reveal sensitive information that
may put the security and safety of an agency a&ivity or employee at risk.
We are withholding information that reveals internal administrative matters under FOIA
Exemption 2 ("Low 2"). Low 2 protects information applicable to internal administrative
and personnel matters, to the extent that the material is trivial in nature and is of no
genuine public interest.
We are withholding the name, address, phone number, and e-mail address of non-
government individuals, home phone number and home address of DHS employees, and
personal family information under FOIA Exemption 6. Exemption 6 exempts from
disclosure records the release of which would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy. The interest of the general public in reviewing these portions of
government documents does not outweigh the individuals' right to privacy. The release
of this information adds no detail about agency activities, the core purpose of the FOIA.
I am the official responsible for this determination. You may appeal this determination
within sixty calendar days from the date of this letter. Your appeal should include copies
of your original request and this response, as well as a discussion of the reasons
supporting your appeal. The envelope should be plainly marked to indicate that it
contains a Freedom of Information Act appeal. If you decide to appeal, please send your
appeal to:
Freedom of Information ActIPrivacy Act Appeals

245 Murray Lane, SW, Building 41 0
For your information, your FOIA request including your identity, the information made
available, is releasable to the public under subsequent FOIA requests. In response to
these requests, FEMA does not release personal privacy information, such as home
address, telephone numbers or Social Security Numbers all of which are protected from
disclosure under FOIA Exemption 6.
Thank you for your interest in FEMA's programs and policies.
Sincerely,

Thanks for the response. We've got a few more questions that we would like
to submit. .--
\
1. Is it possible for one or more of IEM1s teaming partners to submit rates

from GSA schedules other than MOBIS?
2. Will FEMA personnel play an active role in exercise executicn, serving as
evaluators, controllers, facilitators, or in other roles? If so, please
elaborate. This information will help us to more accurately determine how
many contractor personnel to allocate to the exercise.
3 . Will the government provide facilities for meetings and the t~bletopand
functional exercises or will the contrsctcr be responsible for Frocuring
space? If the contractor is responsible, should this cost be inciuded in the
proposer's firm fixed price or can it be a pass-through cost bliled at the
time of procurement?
4. Will the government cover the cost of meals, equipment rents;, etc. for
meetings and the tabletop and functicnsl exercises or will the ccrtractor be
responsibl@'for procuring these items? If the contractor Is respsnt~ble,
should this cost be included in the proposer's firm fixed price cr can it be
E pass-through cost-billed at the time of procurement?
5. Has a not-tc-exceed amcunt been established for' Stage One of this work?
If so, can FEMA prcvide this information to support development cf the
prcject budget and business quote?

Sir,
Checked with ESF folks and log folks have five trucks of MREs and 5 of water ready
to go in to the Convention Center and the SuperDome. Each truck has about 21K MREs, so
obviously enough to do what needs to be done. I am told they are ready to move whenever
necessary, but as you heard from LTG Honore, he is working the security piece. A1 Jones
and I are standing by to assist you and your staff on any other issues as they arise.
Just a note - if you desire, we can travel with you when you believe it is a good idea.
Both of us have satellite comms capability we can bring along and can provide other
imediate staff support when you are away from the DFO. Obviously believe we should keep
at least one of us at the DFO. Just want to make sure you understand we have no problem
with accompanying you and providing support as needed.

\
During the NC Commanderls Executive Board meeting this afternoon, Deputy Secretary of
Defense England called Admiral Keating and informed him that NC should lean forward On its
Katrina response efforts by
-i
--moving out on any good ideas,

--have a blank check to move out,
--move whatever ships, planes and resources that are useful and just keep the
Pentagon informed,
--NC is leading the DoD response activities,
--the President and Sec Def are 'returning to Washington and have called this the
US " tsunami .
NC Commander has ordered the Command's battle cells to operate 2 4 / 7 for the duration and
recall and augment staff appropriately, The NC has also adjusted its battle rhythm to
support the Departments of Defense and
Homeland Security and other Washington agencies. NC is also leaning
forward on anticipating mission assignments and tightening reporting
requirements from its components in the field-
Admiral Keating has also taken several decisions today to move ships and planes to the LA,
MS and AL area and placed a number of military units on high alert for movement on shorc
notice.
A Joint Task force Katrina has been established at Camp Shelby, MS. This JTF will be
augmented in the coming days.

Dear Patrick:'
Let's think outside the box in this crisis: cruise ships regularly dock at New Orleans on the Mississippi River.
Have you considered contacting Carnival Cruise Linef or other cruise ships to ferry New Odeanians out of
danger to Baton Rouge? The publicib for Me cruise lines as heroes would be overwhelmingly positlve ifthey
were used for emergency evacuation. The cruise ships all have food, medicine and sanitary facilities on-board.
It's simple, feasible, fast and relatively cheap I lived forfive years in New Orleans and love the cQ-

All of the best to you and your team.

HURRICANE RELIEF SITUATION REPORT
Transportahon Secunty Operabons Center (TSOC)
Transpartabon Incldent Management Group (TWIG)
September 06, 2005, 0600 Hours .
I CURRENT SITUATION:
TSA FAMS and screeners at MSY continue to conduct screening and security operations, as required.
Coordination ongoing with DoD forces (8zndABN and CA ANG) at MSY to create an evacuee Marshalling
Center @ossibly off-site) where evacuees can be sheltered, fed, and manifested prior to arriving charter flights.
Evacuees air transportation planned to shift from ATA emergency flights to DOT/FEMA regularly scheduled
chartered flights. MSY airfield continues to bring more services on-line. TSA also has staff LNO personnel at
FEMA ROC IV (TX EOC), and PFO Joint Operations Center, Baton Rouge, LA. Leo Vasquez, SAT FSD
arrived at Baton Rouge on Sep 4 to be the senior TSA representative with the PFO He has joined the Joint
Federal Coordination Office (JTO) that is established in a vacant warehouse at 1500 Main Street in Baton
Rouge, LA.
,
The security environment in the New Orleans vicinity continues to improve but remains a concern. Reports
fiom other areas of the Joint Operations Area indicate a tenuous security environment. A lack of basic services
and limited law enforcement presence contribute to this situation and additional LE assets have been requested.
Opportunists have taken advantage of the lack of LE and are assessed as the main group of personnel
committing the crimes against property (looting, theft, etc.). Those conducting criminal activiiy are the most
dangerous group to the local civilian population. This group includes the armed gangs and other violent
individuals widely reported in open sources.
Transporting of evacuees out of New Orleans has significantly slowed as the number of evacuees at collection
points has continued to decline. There were fewer bus evacuations from Algiers Point than anticipated and only
a few hundred were moved to New Orleans International Airport for evacuation Other people did not want to
be evacuated. This was also the case at both the Superdome and Convention Center. Reports of up to 1500 -
2000 personnel awaiting evacuation at those locations were not accurate since the actual population did not
choose to be evacuated. 600 evacuees are staged at New Orleans International for evacuation. No buses were
directed out of the state on 4 September as all bus movement was local. Reportslrequests for small pockets of
people needing evacuation are coming into the command center. On 5 Sep 05, an evacuation of 1400 people
from Harrah's Hotel Casino is scheduled. These evacuees will go to Baton Rouge, first to LSU and then to the
airport where they will be flown to other states.
A public health emergency has been declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and remains in
effect for the entire region. Patients and staff from 16 hospitals were evacuated (1753 patients and 7645 st@
40 Nursing homes with staff have been evacuated.
Approximately 66,000 pax have been evacuated since the beginning of disaster relief operations. The
Superdome, Convention Center, Causeway and Algiers Point have been cleared, although additional persons
continue to show up at these locations.
I The Algiers area is the next focus for search for evacuees as it is completely under water.

PIPELINE S'I'ATZIS
JTTF Reports Pipeline volume is increasing and rapid re-supply by air is working; anticipate
shortfalls will be overcome in the coming days. All necessary repairs to the Colonial, Plantation,
Collins, and Meridian pipelines has been completed.
Capline is fully operational but shipments may be limited by supply. Operating at approximately
89% capacity (09105105) and will be at maximum capacity when full power is restored. Shell-
operated Capline pipeline system is currently operating at approximately 40,000 barrels per hour.
Capline's normal rate is 45,000 barrels per hour. The system's pump station in Pine Grove,
Mississippi remains without power. A generator is in route to Pine Crove in the event restoration of
electric utility services is further delayed.
Colonial Pipeline continues to add capacity to both its gasoline and distillate Main Lines. Lines 1
and 2, which run from Houston, TX, to Greensboro, NC. Distributed generating equipment is now
being brought on line, and additional power generation will continue to be brought on line over the
next 24 hours. Currently operating 80% capacity (09105105) Colonial Pipeline was expected to
achieve 100% of its normal capacity by midnight Monday (915104). (Source: DOE Office of
Electricity Delivery provided the following, http:/l www.ea.doe.gov/hurricanes.html)
Plantation Pipeline able to provide 100% of its average daily throughput (620,000 barrels) on its
mainlines. Operating at 100°h capacity (09105105). Plantation Pipeline issued a statement on Sept 2
that electricity had been restored to all if its primary pump stations providing the company the
capability to provide 100% of its average daily throughput of 620,000 barrels. It reports that one of
Plantations equipment was damaged as a result of Humcane Katrina. (Source: press release from
Plantation Pipeline, http:Nwww.pplco.comlcompdocs/company~documents.asp)
Entmgy reports that it has restored electricity to all but three of the refineries in the New Orleans
area it supplies with power. According to Entergy, the refineries still without power are the Conoco-
Phillips 250,000 bld Alliance refinery in Belle Chasse, LA. The Exxon-Mobil 187,000 bld refinery
in Chalmette, LA and the Murphy Oil 125,000 bld refinery in Meraux, LA.
Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP). The LOOP has been operating at 75 percent capacity since
Friday evening after Entergy restored power to the Clovelly storage facility. The LOOP expects to
be at 100 percent capacity when Port Fourchon becomes operational which should occur in about 7 '
days. LOOP deliveries to the Capline pipeline were scheduled to begin yesterday. The LOOP and
Capline are prepared to make deliveries to local refineries as needed. The LOOP has also reported
that tankers were delivering crude oil over the weekend.
Dixie Pipeline (apropane line). According to the Association of Oil Pipelines, the Dixie Pipeline
(a propane line) is operating at approximately 50% (2 million gallons per day) of normal capacity.
Notes:
Natural gas transmission pipelines have been largely unaffected. Deliveries are still limited because
-
of shut-in gas production in the Gulf of Mexico.
P m S A pipeline safety inspectors have visited the manned oil pipeline stations in the hurricane-
aff'ected areas and have found no safety concerns.

September 06,2005,0600 Hours
Administration
CURRENT SITUATION:
TSA FAMS and screeners at MSY continue to conduct screening and security operations, as required.
Coordination ongoing with DoD forces (82ndABN and CA ANG) at MSY to create an evacuee Marshalling
Center (possibly off-site) where evacuees can be sheltered, fed, and manifested prior to arriving charter flights.
Evacuees air transportation planned to shift from ATA emergency flights to DOTREMA regularly scheduled
chartered flights. MSY airfield continues to bring more services on-line. TSA also has staff LNO personnel at
FEMA ROC IV (TX EOC), and PFO Joint Operations Center, Baton Rouge, LA. Leo Vasquez, SAT FSD
arrived at Baton Rouge on Sep 4 to be the seblior TSA representative with the PFO. He has joined the Joint
Federal Coordination Office (JFO) that is established in a vacant warehouse at 1500 Main Street in Baton
Rouge, LA.
.The security environment in the New Orleans vicinity continues to improve but remains a concern. Reports
from other areas of the Joint Operations Area indicate a tenuous security environment. A lack of basic services
and limited law enhrcement presence contribute to this situation and additional LE assets have been requested.
Opportunists have taken advantage of the lack of LE and are assessed as the main group of personnel
committing the crimes against property (looting, theft, etc.). Those conducting criminal activity are the most
dangerous group to the local civilian population. This group includes the armed gangs and other violent
individuals widely reported in open sources.
-~nsportingof evacuees out of New Orleans has significantly slowed as the number of evacuees at collection
points has continued to decline. There were fewer bus evacuations from Algiers Point than anticipated and only
a few hundred were moved to New Orleans International Airport for evacuation. Other people did not want to
be evacuated. This was also the case at both the Superdome and Convention Center. Reports of up to 1500 -
2000 personnel awaiting evacuation at those locations were not accurate since the actual population did not
choose to be evacuated. 600 evacuees are staged at New Orleans International for evacuation No buses were
directed out of the state on 4 September as all bus movement was local. Reports/requests for small pockets of
people needing evacuation are coming into the command center. On 5 Sep 05. an evacuation of 1400 people
from Harrah's Hotel Casino is scheduled. These evacuees will go to Baton Rouge, first to LSU and then to the
airport where they will be flown to other states.
A public health emergency has been declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and remains in
effect for the entire region. Patients and staff from 16 hospitals were evacuated (I 753 patients and 7645 staff).
40 Nursing homes with staff have been evacuated.
Approximately 66.000 pax have been evacuated since the beginning of disaster relief operations. The
Superdome, Convention Center, Causeway and Algiers Point have been cleared, although additional persons
continue to show up at these locations.
The Algiers area is the next focus for search for evacuees as it is completely under wat&.

100 General
TF Unwatering is pumping 10,390 cfs out of Orleans, East Orleans, and St. Bernard Parishes. Pumping can
begin at Plaquemines Parish when the breaches are closed.
The Project Managers have advised that railroads in the area are running repair trains.
Our environmental specialist will discuss safety issues with an Industrial Hygienist from Shaw tomorrow.
The Dutch mobile pump team deployed to Plaquenlines Parish because of the continuing success of
unwatering in the Ninth Ward The German team operated in Orleans Parish at Pump Station 19'and the
London Avenue Canal, and also at Pump Station 5 in St. B-d Parish. The combined pump team from
the Little Rock and Tulsa Districts operated in eastern Orleans Parish and tomorrow will shift to support
Pump Station 12.
200 Plaquemines Parish

The northernmost breach near Bellevue is now closed and pumping In the area has begun. The contractor's
plans for the other two breaches are to use a stone dike at the Shell Pipeline and a combination of sheet pile
and sandbags at Sunrise Pump Station, where more sandbags were delivered tonight.
The five pumps operating in the flooded areas south of Port Sulphur are circulating water in order to
prevent stagnation problems. Once the breachcs are closed, the pumps will permanently evacuate the water.
300 St Bernard Parish
Response teams report that the canals will be free of oil in the next seven days and have requested that we
not operate Pump Stations 4 and 7 until then.
Flood waters dropped an estimated a six inches overall in the vicinity of Pump Station 8, which operated
with two pumps today. The water level should drop even faster once fdters amve for the third pump.
The Project Manager estimates that the unwatering mission in St Bernard Parish is four days from
completion.
400 East Orleans Parish
Total capacity at Pump Station 15 and the Hydrogen Plant increased to 800 cfs. Two 42-inch portable
pumps came online today to offset the temporary loss of two portable pumps that were previously
operating. One pump was down because of electrical Issues and the other was unavailable today. We're
worlung on repairing one of the 42-inch pumps and also repairing the two pumps that are down as a result
operating, the station will feed more water to the 17th Street Canal through Pump Station 6, which is
operating at 1,200 feet because of the lowered flow.
Pumping in S t Bernard Parish is helping to drain the water out ofthe Ninth Ward and the water is drawing
down quickly.
The road to the second breach at London Avenue Canal was lengthened by 700 feet. 1,500 feet remain and
the road will be completed in two days.
The Project Manager is concerned that security is an issue at Pump Stations 1, 3, and 7. We are
coordinating with the National Guard and the 82nd Airborne to reinforce these sites.

Work continues on repairs to the US-1 1 Bridge on the north side of
Lake Ponchartrain. When completed, thls bridge will provide the only
access to New Orleans from the east. There is no estimate for when
this work will be completed.
The State is conducting contracting activities to repair the 1-10 "Twin

FHWA Mississippi Division Administrator confirmed the Bay St.
Louis-Gulfport and Biloxi-Oceans Springs Bridges on US-90 are gone.
The coast is scoured from the gulf to 1500 feet beyond the shoreline.
Damage to the eastbound span of the Pascagoula Bridge precludes the
opening of all 4 lanes of 1-10. A 300-foot span that must be taken out
of that bridge and replaced. Mississippi officials are worlung to allow
repairs to begin next week. It is estimated that it will take three weeks
to complete that repair. Divers are in process of inspecting those
- bridges.
Crossovers are being constructed at each end of the Pascagoula
Bridge. This will allow all lanes to be used in each direction until
reaching the bridge. This will remain in place until the~bridgeis
repaired.
