1. SITUATION:
A. BACKGROUND: On the a h w n of July 8,2005, the Governor of Alabama issued an
Executive Order declaring a State of Emergency for the entire state and
ordered the mandatory emcuation of Baldwin and Mobile Counties
south of Interstate 10. Storm preparations were predicated on the N W S
estimates and actions of Hurricane Dennis that indicated this storm
could make landfall on the Florida or Alabama coast as a Category 4
hurricane. On July loh, prior to the storm's impact, the Governor
requested an expedited major disaster declaration for 45 counties.
On the afternoon of July 10,2005 at 1425 CDT,Hurricane Dennis
made landfall at Santa Rosa Island on the northwest, gulf coast of
Florida as a Category 3 hurricane, moved inland, and north towards
Alabama. At 1610 CDT on July lom,Hurricane Dennis was
downgraded to a Category 2 hurricane as it crossed the Florida -
Alabama state line and at 0400 CDT July 11 ", was downgraded to a
Tropical Depression where it exited the State of Alabama north of the
city of PickensviLIe (Pickens), and entered the State of Mississippi.
Hurricane Dennis entered Alabama with sustained winds estimated at
100 mph and after its twelve hour presence in Alabama, it entered
Mississippi with sustained winds less than 40 mph.
Along its path the storm left nearly 306,000 customers without electric
service, over 27,000 telephone customer outages, caused moderate to
hght debris accumulations, and was responsible for one reported
tornado, which impacted the city of Atmore (Eswnbia) causing heavy
damages A total of 505 residences were reported damaged in four ,
counties: Baldwin, Escambia, Mobile, and Monroe.
Alabama accommodated thousands of evacuees from northwest Florida
and an estimated 40% of the residents of Alabama's Baldwin and
Mobile counties evacuated northward prior to the storm's landfall.
Alabama opened a total of 139 regular shelters, plus I0 special needs
shelters and accommodated 8,600 people. Tbe Iast shelters closed at
1 I00 hours on July I 1,2005.

has been made by the MERS unit which has responsibility for this tasking.
ESF-2 personnel completed a communications assessment in Jefferson Parish
which sustained major wind and flood damage. Following are the findings:

Land mobile radio Communication for public safety and responders in

the parish are extremely limited to non-existent due the loss of the Parish
.:.L Sheriffs 450' tower that was located at 250 Dolhonde Street, Gretna.

The eight year old tower is entirely down and has caused some damage to

 soon as possible as this is the central communications node for the entire
Parish repeater bank. The tower is located in a confined urban area and
must be removed before any new permanent installation can be done. It is
currently lying thru the center of a nearby commercial building. The
tower supported the Parish Sheriff, Police, Courthouse, DEA, Fire and
Emergency as well as other municipal activities. There has been an
expedient attempt to get antennas back in the air, but there is an
immediate requirement to support the site with a 100' portable tower with
remote capabilities as soon as possible. A request for assistance for a
portable tower was forwarded to the State of LA EOC on 9/17/05.

In addition to the tower issues, the.parish has provided a number of

portable radios to adjacent Parishes for support and mutual aid. This and
damaged radios has left the Dept with limited resource to manage day to
day activities or prepare for follow on emergencies. There is an
immediate need for 50 700MHz portables, 10 mobiles, and ancillary
devices such as chargers and handsets to fill out the 1600 man force and
responders. An assessment of consoles should also be done.

Local radio stations WWL and WLWG have relocated from their
damaged studios to the Parish EOC and 91 1 dispatch center basement.
An assessment of their needs was not done due to the lack of a
representative on site.

TV channel 26 ABC located on the World Trade Center is off the air
and has not been heard from since the Hurricane struck.

91 1 dispatch is up and operating next door to the state EOC

Over $55M in contracts have been awarded, mostly for hotel rooms in New

remain but the combined German and USACE team is working to evacuate
the water. The mission is nearly complete in this parish. Work will begin
tonight to close the two remaining breaches.

preparation for a possible storm. ESF-3 plans to use sheet pile closures to
- shut the canals off from Lake Pontcliartrain after dropping the water level
down prior to an event.
