FEMA
48 Hour Delivery Order: 100,000 "Doctor Scrubs"; 1000 (100 Person)
Shelters; + Fuel, Showers, Bathrooms, and Hygine Equipment; Apparent
Mobilization of the National Disaster Medical System
The situation appears to be a mobilization of the National Disaster Medical System
Summary:
Based on Federal Solicitations, FEMA is readying to deploy 100,000
medical personnel to 1000 shelter locations (100 medical personnel per
location) on 48 hours notice. These shelter locations appear to be the
housing quarters for the medical teams, as they are being stocked with
atypical luxury, aka mobile showers, restrooms, hot food, medical
clothing (scrubs), winter "sweat shirts and pants" etc.
Contractor comments/questions call it an "Armageddon scenario" and
question the capabilities of their industries to support it. These
Government solicitations have all the earmarks of massive logistical
incompetence.
The threat being prepared for appears to be coming
out of the Pacific Rim region, a likely scenario is the human spread of
Avian Bird Flu (H7N9) out of China. We think less it is less likely
(but we can't rule it out) that this is a Fukushima preparation because
nuclear threats are invisible and usually deniable. Any such
mobilization MUST BE less panic inducing than the threat which it seeks
to quell, aka PANDEMIC.
PARTIAL Details:
100,000 "Doctor Scrubs" pants and shirts, 90% Adult Sizes (MUST DELIVER 50,000 with 48 hours notice)
100,000 "Sweat shirts and pants" 90% adult. (MUST DELIVER 50,000 with 48 hours notice)
1000 Shelters each holding 100 people, with mobile showers and restrooms supporting (2000 total showers).
And enough Fuel, Hot food delivery containers, sundries, protective equipment, hygine equipment and etc to supply.
6,000,000 autoclavable cotton blankets and so on and so forth, all must
be available under "SURGE TEMPO" and typically in 48 hours notice.
8,100,000 liters of Bottled Drinking Water and 3,000,000 liters of Extended Shelf Life Drinking Water
Notable contractor comments:
Contractor A (Mobile showers and restrooms):
I think the Armageddon scenario is too large to provide the Federal
Emergency Management Agency with several responsible parties....we
could address and service the 20 camps in California, the 5 in Oregon
and the 5 in Washington"
Contractor B: (6,000,000 Pcs order for autoclabable blankets)
Question4. Would we be able to get a longer lead time for the initial
order and then 30 days for the remainder of the contract? As the
blankets will be manufactured in Pakistan? It will be hard to carry
100,000 Pcs in Inventory. We on a general basis stock no more than
25,000 - 30,000 Pcs in inventory locally in GA.
Answer4. No.
(AFP) – 15 hours ago
TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico — A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck off
Mexico’s Pacific coast close to the Guatemalan border on Sunday, but
there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The quake occurred at 6:22 am (1222 GMT) at a depth of 35 kilometers
(21 miles), and was located 28 kilometers (17 miles) south-southwest of
Suchiate, Mexico, the US Geological Survey said.
“The quake was felt across most of the Soconusco region,” civil
protection official Luis Manuel Garcia told AFP. “We have no reports of
damage for the moment.”
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a report on the quake.
A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked southwest Mexico on March
20, killing two people, injuring 13 others and damaging thousands of
homes.
That earthquake — with its epicenter south of the Pacific resort of
Acapulco — was the most powerful to hit the country since one in 1985,
which destroyed entire neighborhoods of the capital and killed thousands
of people.

The powerful magnitude-8.6 earthquake that shook Sumatra on April 11,
2012, was a seismic standout for many reasons, not the least of which
is that it was larger than scientists thought an earthquake of its type
could ever be.
Now, researchers from the California Institute of Technology
(Caltech) report on their findings from the first high-resolution
observations of the underwater temblor, they point out that the
earthquake was also unusually complex-rupturing along multiple faults
that lie at nearly right angles to one another, as though racing through
a maze.
The new details provide fresh insights into the possibility of
ruptures involving multiple faults occurring elsewhere-something that
could be important for earthquake-hazard assessment along California’s
San Andreas fault, which itself is made up of many different segments
and is intersected by a number of other faults at right angles.
“Our results indicate that the earthquake rupture followed an
exceptionally tortuous path, breaking multiple segments of a previously
unrecognized network of perpendicular faults,” says Jean-Paul Ampuero,
an assistant professor of seismology at Caltech and one of the authors
of the report, which appears online today in Science Express.
“This earthquake provided a rare opportunity to investigate the
physics of such extreme events and to probe the mechanical properties of
Earth’s materials deep beneath the oceans.”
Most mega-earthquakes occur at the boundaries between tectonic
plates, as one plate sinks beneath another. The 2012 Sumatra earthquake
is the largest earthquake ever documented that occurred away from such a
boundary-a so-called intraplate quake. It is also the largest that has
taken place on a strike-slip fault-the type of fault where the land on
either side is pushing horizontally past the other.
The earthquake happened far offshore, beneath the Indian Ocean, where
there are no geophysical monitoring sensors in place. Therefore, the
researchers used ground-motion recordings gathered by networks of
sensors in Europe and Japan, and an advanced source-imaging technique
developed in Caltech’s Seismological Laboratory as well as the Tectonics
Observatory to piece together a picture of the earthquake’s rupture
process.
Lingsen Meng, the paper’s lead author and a graduate student in
Ampuero’s group, explains that technique by comparing it with how, when
standing in a room with your eyes closed, you can often still sense when
someone speaking is walking across the room. “That’s because your ears
measure the delays between arriving sounds,” Meng says.
“Our technique uses a similar idea. We measure the delays between
different seismic sensors that are recording the seismic movements at
set locations.” Researchers can then use that information to determine
the location of a rupture at different times during an earthquake.
Recent developments of the method are akin to tracking multiple moving
speakers in a cocktail party.
Using this technique, the researchers determined that the
three-minute-long Sumatra earthquake involved at least three different
fault planes, with a rupture propagating in both directions, jumping to a
perpendicular fault plane, and then branching to another.
“Based on our previous understanding, you wouldn’t predict that the
rupture would take these bends, which were almost right angles,” says
Victor Tsai, an assistant professor of geophysics at Caltech and a
coauthor on the new paper.
The team also determined that the rupture reached unusual depths for
this type of earthquake-diving as deep as 60 kilometers in places and
delving beneath the Earth’s crust into the upper mantle.
This is surprising given that, at such depths, pressure and
temperature increase, making the rock more ductile and less apt to fail.
It has therefore been thought that if a stress were applied to such
rocks, they would not react as abruptly as more brittle materials in the
crust would. However, given the maze-like rupture pattern of the
earthquake, the researchers believe another mechanism might be in play.
“One possible explanation for the complicated rupture is there might
have been reduced friction as a result of interactions between water and
the deep oceanic rocks,” says Tsai. “And,” he says, “if there wasn’t
much friction on these faults, then it’s possible that they would slip
this way under certain stress conditions.”
Adding to the list of the quake’s surprising qualities, the
researchers pinpointed the rupture to a region of the seafloor where
seismologists had previously considered such large earthquakes unlikely
based on the geometry of identified faults.
When they compared the location they had determined using
source-imaging with high-resolution sonar data of the topography of the
seafloor, the team found that the earthquake did not involve what they
call “the usual suspect faults.”
“This part of the oceanic plate has fracture zones and other
structures inherited from when the seafloor formed here, over 50 million
years ago,” says Joann Stock, professor of geology at Caltech and
another coauthor on the paper. “However, surprisingly, this earthquake
just ruptured across these features, as if the older structure didn’t
matter at all.”
Meng emphasizes that it is important to learn such details from
previous earthquakes in order to improve earthquake-hazard assessment.
After all, he says, “If other earthquake ruptures are able to go this
deep or to connect as many fault segments as this earthquake did, they
might also be very large and cause significant damage.”
Along with Meng, Ampuero, Tsai, and Stock, additional Caltech
coauthors on the paper, “An earthquake in a maze: compressional rupture
branching during the April 11 2012 M8.6 Sumatra earthquake,” are
postdoctoral scholar Zacharie Duputel and graduate student Yingdi Luo.
The work was supported by the National Science Foundation, the Gordon
and Betty Moore Foundation, and the Southern California Earthquake
Center, which is funded by the National Science Foundation and the
United States Geological Survey.
The number of people taken to hospitals by ambulance due
to heatstroke in the week through Sunday more than doubled from the
preceding week to 5,467, preliminary data showed Tuesday. The figure, up
from 2,622 in the week to July 15, hit the highest for a single week
this summer, according to the data released by the Fire and Disaster
Management Agency. Deaths caused by heatstroke increased to 13 from five
in the preceding week. Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture had the most
victims, with ambulances called for 388 people each. They were followed
by 382 in Aichi Prefecture and 372 in Osaka Prefecture. People aged 65
or older accounted for 45.9 percent of the total. Since the agency
started this year’s survey on May 28, 11,116 people were taken to
hospitals as of Sunday. Twenty-three people have died. The rise in
heatstroke cases reflects the smothering heat wave, with temperatures of
35 degrees or higher observed in many places for the four days from
July 16, agency officials said. In Tatebayashi, Gunma Prefecture, the
mercury shot up to 37.6 on July 16 and to 39.2 the following day,
according to the Meteorological Agency.
Austrian authorities say a man has died and several
other people were injured after a tree limb crashed into tents at a
festival during a storm. The security department in Lower Austria
province said Sunday that a 50-year-old local resident died in a
hospital after the accident in Poechlarn, west of Vienna. The incident
happened late Saturday afternoon when a storm and heavy winds hit the
town during a medieval-themed festival in a park. Authorities say the
limb of an old tree crashed into tents that organizers had set up below
it. Thirteen people were injured, including the man who later died.
Firefighters had to use power saws to free people from the tents.

Forest / Wild Fire
Russia [Asia]
Siberia, [Krasnoyarsk Krai, Tomsk Region, Tuva, Khakassia and Irkutsk Region]
Firefighters in Russia’s Siberia had extinguished 45
forest fires covering 522 hectares of forest in the past 24 hours, but
131 wildfires were still burning on the area of almost 15,000 hectares,
the regional forestry department said Friday. A total of 29 wildfires
covering an area of more than 5,000 hectares were localized, and 14,948
hectares of forest continued to burn in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Tomsk
Region, Tuva, Khakassia and Irkutsk Region. Some 3,000 people, 412 units
of fire-fighting equipment and 24 aircrafts have been mobilized to
fight the blazes, which are believed to be caused by hot and dry weather
in the region where the temperature reaches 35 degrees. Reports said
the wildfires posed no threat to populated areas or industry.
Wildfires burned across the state Sunday, with one blaze
threatening about100 homes in Pottawatomie County. The fire, which
started Sunday afternoon about two miles northwest of Earlsboro, was
encroaching upon structures, and a mandatory evacuation order was put
into effect, state emergency management spokeswoman Keli Cain said. The
Pottawatomie County sheriff’s office said about 30 homes were evacuated
in the town about 50 miles east of Oklahoma City. By 9:30 p.m., people
were allowed to return to their homes and some firefighters were being
allowed to leave the scene, Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth said.
“The fire is contained, but not out,” Booth said. There were no reports
of injuries or homes lost to the fire on Sunday. The fire had scorched
across about 1,300 acres before being contained, Cain said. Firefighting
resources were brought in from Cleveland County, and an Oklahoma
National Guard helicopter made water drops, she said.
One person has died in flooding caused by tropical storm
Saola in the central Philippines. Torrential rain brought on by the
storm and the south-west monsoon have caused more flooding and
landslides in the central and northern Philippines. Landslides have been
reported in the mountainous Cordillera region while flood waters have
swamped communities in the capital Manila and several nearby provinces.
Hundreds of families have been evacuated, with rain on Sunday night
causing three major dams to spill over. In the country’s northern and
central provinces, five ships have run aground with rescue operations
ongoing to bring passengers ashore. Over the weekend, rain blanketed
most of the Philippines, forcing the cancellation of at least 13
domestic flights. Tropical storm Saola is now moving northwest towards
China.
Heavy rains in central and eastern Costa Rica have
triggered floods that have forced evacuations and may be responsible for
at least one death, relief workers said Sunday. Four people are
missing, down from eight earlier, according to Freddy Roman, a spokesman
for the local Red Cross. The government has declared a “yellow alert”
in various parts of Cartago, a central province where one person was
reported dead, said Roman. The person was rescued after a landslide, but
died on the way to the hospital from injuries and heart failure, he
said. A yellow alert is also in effect for parts of Limon, an eastern
province. More than 1,500 people have taken refuge at shelters and
others are waiting to be rescued, according to the Red Cross. “We have
reports of people trapped in their houses that have been flooded by
overflow from the Chirripo River, also of several communities that are
isolated in other parts of Limon,” said Guillermo Arroyo, director of
operations of the Costa Rican Red Cross. Heavy rain is typical this time
of year in Costa Rica, where the rainy season runs roughly from
May-November.
Ugandan authorities did not initially detect an Ebola
outbreak because patients weren’t showing typical symptoms of the lethal
virus, the nation’s health minister reported on Sunday. Patients had
fevers and were vomiting, but did not show other typical symptoms like
hemorrhaging, Health Minister Dr. Christine Ondoa said. A team made up
of personnel from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the
Ugandan health ministry and the World Health Organization early Monday
were in Kibaale, a district in the midwestern part of the landlocked
central African nation, WHO said in a statement. Medecins Sans
Frontieres, also known as Doctors Without Borders, also is involved in
setting up an “isolation center” at Kibaale’s hospital. National health
authorities say the outbreak has infected at least 20 people, of whom 14
have died. Nine of the deaths were from a single household in the
village of Nyanswiga, according to WHO. A medic who was treating victims
is among the dead, Ondoa said. Officials are trying to determine the
extent of the outbreak, CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said Sunday. The
Atlanta-based organization was sending about five people to join a group
of CDC staffers who are permanently based in Uganda, according to the
spokesman.”These outbreaks have a tendency to stamp themselves out, if
you will, if we can get in and … stop the chain of transmission,” he
said. Ondoa described the Ebola-Sudan strain detected as “mild” compared
to other types of Ebola, noting that victims’ lives can be saved with
intervention. The cases have emerged in Kibaale, where a national task
force had been mobilized in an effort to combat the outbreak. As of
early Monday in Uganda, two people with the virus remained hospitalized
in stable condition, said WHO. One was a 38-year-old woman who’d
attended to her sister, the medic who died, and another was a
30-year-old woman who participated in the burial of one of the other
victims. The Ebola virus is considered a highly infectious disease
spread through direct contact with bodily fluids, with symptoms that
include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache,
measles-like rash, red eyes and at times bleeding from body openings.
Health officials urged the public to report suspected cases and avoid
contact with anyone who has contracted the virus and to disinfect the
bedding and clothing of an infected person by using protective gloves
and masks. Officials also advised against eating dead animals,
especially monkeys, and to avoid public gatherings in the affected
district. Given these precautions, WHO said in its statement that it
would not recommend any travel restrictions to Uganda because of the
Ebola outbreak.
The number of gastro entritis cases has gone up to 132
at Dasuya in Punjab where spread of cholera and gastro enteritis cases
was reported in some districts. Out of these, 86 have been discharged
after treatment, a senior medical officer said today. Yesterday, the
number of gastro patients admitted to the civil hospital at Dasuya was
117. Meanwhile, three serious patients were referred to Punjab Institute
of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar, Dr Naresh Kansra, senior medical
officer (SMO) of the Dasuya Civil Hospital said today. An increase in
the number of gastro patients has been witnessed at Dasuya in the past
few days. Director family welfare Punjab Karnjit Singh and state
surveillance officer Deepak Bhatia inspected the areas of Dasuya town
affected by gastroenteritis and also went to the hospital to meet the
patients. Over 4000 chlorine tablets were distributed among the people
of the area.

At least three people were killed including a girl child
and about 70 residents have been affected following cholera broke out
in Dobhala village under Borekina Panchayat in Balikuda block past one
week, reports said that most of the victims are undergoing treatment in
headquarters hospital here and Borekina, Balikuda PHCs. Sources said
that the deceased’s have been identified as Nari Sethy [70], Kailash
Barik [45] and Ankita Barik a five year old girl child of Sudhansu Barik
and affected victims shifted to headquarters hospital for treatment on
Saturday night have been named as Betani Sethy, Anju Barik, Rangalata
Barik, Nandei Sethy and Bebina Barik, meanwhile hospital sources said
that their conditions are fast curing and would be discharged soon.
Report said that this coastal village has population of about 700
numbers, and one week ago few people had complained suffering stomach
ailments and dehydration and the illness turned to cholera when Nari
Sethy a septuagenarian died in home on Wednesday night, soon after
numbers of cholera affected people had grown inside village and till
date about 5 to 7 people are going to be affected daily shifting to
hospital for treatment. Ironically the nearby Borekina PHC suffers
without any doctor past six years, one retired doctor has posted on
contractual and a pharmacist are catering medical service at hospital as
consequence victims have opted either moving Balikuda PHC or
headquarters hospital for treatment after cholera broke out in village.
The district headquarters hospital sources said after information
reached a medical team comprising doctors, pharmacists and health staff
have sent to village to study the situation and our medical team
preliminary investigation indicates that due to using contaminated water
the villagers have been affected, and we are taking all health related
measures at village, informed Bijaya Sahoo, chief district medical
officer.

Locals claim an outbreak of measles in Ambar tehsil of
Mohmand Agency has killed six children. Officials confirmed the death of
two of the children, but said they died because of an unconfirmed
disease. Local Qari Ali Gul told The Express Tribune on Saturday that
the disease has struck the areas of Gumbati, Shaji Kor, Soor Tangi,
Bakhmal Shah, Musa Kor and Khairo Kor, and has affected a large number
of tribesmen. Another local, Mushtaq Khan, said that affected children
were taken to Khar Hospital in Bajaur Agency. They said that the
residents informed the agency surgeon to send inoculation teams to
control the spread of the disease. They also urged the government to
send mobile vaccination teams and said the situation may become
uncontrollable if prompt action was not taken. An Expanded Programme on
Immunisation Mohmand Agency Officer, Dr Shabeer, denied the spread of
the disease and the cause of the deaths. “Two deaths have been reported
in Ambar and Utmanzai but by an unknown disease, we cannot confirm they
were caused by measles,” he said. He added that the areas further away
lack qualified doctors and people depend on unqualified doctors.“The
scarcity of proper health facilities worsens the situation in these
circumstances,” he said. He claimed the Federally Administered Tribal
Areas (Fata) child heath project had worked in three community health
centres, one in Daravo, one in Had Kor and one in Shati Meena. Ambar is a
tehsil of the agency bordering Bajaur Agency. The area lacks basic
amenities regularly, and has only one high and middle school with most
residents going to schools in Charsadda. In June, 211 children with
symptoms of measles were brought to the Lady Reading Hospital (LRH)
Peshawar from different areas of K-P and Fata. Hospital data revealed
that a total of 989 cases of measles were brought to the LRH over the
past six months, of which 884 were discharged and 44 had died. Nine
patients left the hospital against doctors’ advice. A study conducted by
Dr Majid Khan and Dr Tariq Anwar at LRH from November 1, 2011, to May
22 this year, revealed that the measles outbreak in K-P and Fata was a
result of poor vaccination campaigns, military conflict, migration and
malnutrition in the area. Talking to The Express Tribune, Dr Khan
explained that measles was an infectious viral disease that could easily
spread through migrating people, especially if they have a weak
immunity due to inadequate food intake. He said the hospital has
received children as young as four months suffering from measles. Khan
explained that children younger than nine months usually do not get
measles as they have antibodies transmitted from their mothers during
pregnancy. This shows that the mothers did not receive proper nutrition.
Measles is highly contagious and spread by a virus that is easily
prevented by proper immunisation but can be fatal. It caused nearly
140,000 deaths worldwide in 2010, according to the World Health
Organisation – 95% in low income countries with poor health
infrastructure.

Lunchtime Sunday at the Ateneo de Davao University
(ADDU) turned bad after at least 100 students had to be rushed to area
hospitals after suffering a nasty bout of food poisoning. According to
an Ateneo de Davao University press statement Sunday: “A number of
students, staff and administrators were rushed to the hospital a few
hours after lunch after they complained of upset stomach with bouts of
vomiting. Administrators and staff were dispatched to assist students in
the hospitals. Some of the students were confined, majority were sent
home after they were checked by doctors and administered the appropriate
medications.” The Philippine news source, Interaksyon reports Sunday,
the students were attending the student leaders gathering – called Sui
Generis – with ADDU President Fr. Joel Tabora. The gathering of students
ate lunch at the school around 12:30 pm. The menu included chicken
adobo, pancit, fish , rice and buco salad. A couple of hours later,
students starting getting sick, showing food poisoning symptoms such as
nausea and vomiting. Chair of the student council Samahan, Mureene Ann
Villamor told Interaksyon reporters that the chicken adobo “smelled
terrible.” On the Facebook page of the student paper, Atenews, there are
several posts about the outbreak including a photo of the implicated
food, chicken adobo (or adobong manok ) by photographer Caycee Coronel.
Students were taken to Davao Doctors Hospital and San Pedro Hospital or
treatment. The etiologic agent of the outbreak has yet to be determined.

Seven states in North India have been facing a long
power cut since late Sunday night. Due to a massive breakdown in the
northern grid, the main power source for the affected states, there has
been a massive power outage. The affected states are Delhi, Uttar
Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and
Kashmir. There is no power in Delhi and its neighbouring states since 2
am reports IBN-Live. According to the report, Power Minister Sushil
Kumar Shinde said that it’ll take another one and a half hour’s time to
restore power. “My officers are on the spot. The fault is found near
Agra. It will be corrected in one and a half hour time,” he said.
Thousands of commuters in the Delhi Metro will face a harrowing time on
Monday morning as services of all the lines of the Metro have been
disrupted due to tripping of power supply. Train services on the 190-km
Metro network connecting length and breath of the national capital were
affected due to The Northern Grid failure also caused power cuts in
large parts of Delhi. “Metro service will not be available today
(Monday) till the supply is restored as it is a major Northern Grid
power failure,” a Delhi Metro official said. The Delhi Metro normally
operates over 2,700 trips a day, covering about 70,000 km and carrying
around 1.8 million passengers on week days.
