BRIG GEN WILLIAM P. BLAND, JR. Tile AdJIII General

Honorable Zell Miller Governor of Georgia State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Governor Miller:
It gives me great pride to forward to you the 1990 Annual Report of the Georgia Department of Defense.
This past year has been one of the most challenging in the history of the Department.
Last fall, more than 5,000 Georgia Army and Air National Guard were called to federal active duty in support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm. This was the largest mobilization in our state since just prior to World War II. More than 1,000 airmen and soldiers served in the Persian Gulf Theater of Operations.
Our soldiers and airmen have returned to Georgia and now face the challenge of restructuring of our units.
The more than 15,000 soldiers and airmen- the men and women who are the Georgia Army and Air National Guard - have served our state and our nation proudly and professionally. The thousands of paid and unpaid Emergency Management men and women in Georgia have come to the aid of our citizens facing a number of natural disasters experienced in Georgia during the past year. All of them will continue to serve with pride and professionalism.
Respectfully,
a;~~ WILLIAM P. BLAND, JR. Brigadier General, GaANG The Adjutant General

A Challenging Year
~lltJIM.J~
n August 1990, when the Iraqi forces of Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, it sparked the largest mobilization of Georgia National Guardsmen in more than 50 years. On August 24, the Adjutant General was notified of the alert for mobilization of two Georgia Army Guard units. Atlanta's 190th Military Police Company and Augusta's 1148th Transportation Company were instructed to alert their soldiers and begin preparation for mobilization. Beginning that day, and continuing through the entire year, the primary focus of the Georgia Army National Guard was the support of our forces and their families during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. By the end of 1990, more than 5;1.73 Georgia Army Guardsmen had been mobilized. The first Georgia Guard units to deploy were the 190th Military Police Company and 1148th Transportation Company. Once in Saudi Arabia, the 1148th Transportation Company traveled more than 520,000 miles and delivered 9,500,000 gallons of fuel to Desert Shield/ Storm forces. The I90th Military Police Company was responsible for tactical law and order in its assigned area. This included providing supply route and VIP security. The unit supported President George Bush, General Norman Schwortzkopf, and Britain's Prince Charles with security in the war theater. Other Georgia units were also quickly mobilized and deployed. Among them were Lawrenceville's 122d Rear Area Operations Center which provided tactical operations center support for the XVIII Corp while in Saudi Arabia; Savannah's 165th Supply Company provided supply support for the Kuwaiti Theater of Operations (KTO). This included supplying barrier and engineer materials as well as major equipment items for the theater. The 165th was the last Georgia Guard unit to return from Desert Storm. Georgia Army Guard units mobilized also included Atlanta's 138th Medical Company that was assigned a forward deployed medical clearing mission in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq. Members of the unit provided medical treatment for both American and Iraqi soldiers, which included medical screenings of more than 11,000 enemy prisoners of war. The 265th Engineer Group commanded the largest combat engineer
force in the xvm Corp. The unit constructed more than 800 miles of road which were
used as main supply routes. The unit also provided engineer support to the 24th Infantry Division during their offensive move into Iraq.
Since the war's end, more than 300 Georgia Guardsmen have volunteered for active duty and are now currently serving in Saudi Arabia.
Additional units of the Georgia Army Guard were mobilized for duty in stateside locations. The 166th Maintenance Company was mobilized at Fort Stewart where they provided maintenance support for all Fort Stewart units as well as the 48th Brigade. The
1

202d Explosive Ordnance Detachment was mobilized at Fort Drum, New York, where it conducted more than 72 missions in a four-state area. Members of the 202nd responded to bomb threats and reports of military explosives in the civilian areas, as well as at Fort Drum. The 213th Health Services Liaison Detachment reported to Fort Gordon, Georgia. The unit, which is a detachment of nurses, was assigned duties at Eisenhower Medical Center where they would have provided medical support in the event of a large number of returning casualties.
The 124th Public Affairs Detachment supported Fort Irwin during the 48th Brigade's training at the National Training Center (NTC) and continued that support for Mississippi's !55th Infantry Brigade, which also trained at Fori Irwin.
By far the largest mobilization in Georgia was that of the 4,200 member 48th Infantry Brigade (mech). Mobilized in November the Brigade was sent to Fort Stewart, then to the NTC for extensive and intensive desert warfare training. The 48th Infantry Brigade conducted the longest training period at the NTC of any brigade-size element. Tactics for breeching Iraqui style defenses and defeating enemey forces were developed as the unit trained. Information gleaned from the NTC was sent to commanders in the KTO for employment in the field. Many lessons were learned by these units and all others that supported them. These lessons are being recorded and studied to ensure continuing a high standaid of excellence in the Georgia Army National Guard.
Besides its involvement in the war, the Georgia Army Guard continued with other operations during the fiscal year. The !18th Field Artillery Brigade conducted training at several locations. The 1st Battalion, 214th Field Artillery, prepared for its scheduled deployment to Norway in 1992 by conducting cold weather training at Fort Drum, New York. The battalion also trained at Fort Stewart, along with its wartime gaining units.
The 878th Engineer Battalion conducted vertical construction mission training at Fort Gordon, Georgia, and Travis Air Field in Savannah, Georgia. The 560th Engineer Battalion also trained at Fort Stewart on combat engineer tasks.

The War On Drugs Continues
iscal Year 1991 marks the eighth year that the Georgia National Guard has supported Federal and State law enforcement agencies in counterdrug operations. Today, the Georgia National Gu~d supports seven federal law enforcement agencies and two state agencies.
Though the Georgia Air National Guard has support counterdrug operations for some time, Fiscal Year 1991 was the first time they became an equal participant in the state's program. During the fiscal year the Air National Guard provided one-half of the program's full-time support. Members of the Air Guard also provided support for special missions of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and U.S. Customs. The Georgia Air National Guard was also instrumental in obtaining, and maintaining secure communications applications in support of the U.S. Coast Guard.
For Fiscal Year 1991, the Georgia National Guard supported the following agencies:
Governor's Task Force for Drug Suppression (GTF)- On average the Georgia National Guard fielded four UH-1 helicopters each week during the marijuana growing season. The Guard also provided cut-teams to assist in destroying seized marijuana and fuel handlers to keep aircraft fueled in the field. During the marijuana growing season, Guard pilots flew more than 1,000 hours and assisted in destroying marijuana valued at more than $430 million. This fiscal year was the most successful year for Georgia National Guard counterdrug operations since Guardsmen began assisting the Governor's Task Force in 1983.
The United States Customs Service (USCS)- The Georgia National Guard supports the USCS in examining containerized cargo at the Port of Savannah, Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, and the Port of Brunswick. The Guard employed an average of 26 airmen and soldiers for container searches during the year. More than 5,600 containers at the Port of Savannah were examined; and, contraband estimated at more than $1.2 million seized. Georgia Guardsmen also participated in a special "Landed Quantity Verification" operation which was operated 24 hours a day for 45 days. During the 45-day period, more than 2,900 containers were searched.
The United States Coast Guard (USCG)- The Georgia National Guard has supported the USCG since 1983. Army Guard OV-1 Mohawks supported the USCG in both photo surveillance and reconnaissance roles this year. Areas of operation have included the United States' East Coast and Gulf Coast. Other operations have taken Guard Mohawks into the Caribbean basin. During FY91, Mohawks of the 151st Military Intelligence Battalion flew more than 500 hours in support of the USCG.
USDA Forest Service- During the year Georgia Guard OV-1 Mohawks, at the request of the USDA Forest Service, flew photo surveillance support from OV-1 units. Guard aircraft flew missions over federal forest land in both Kentucky and Florida. The
3

photographs were used to spot suspected marijuana growing operations and to plan upcoming operations.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)- Support to the Federal Aviation Administration involved providing personnel to inspect aircraft at airfields around the state. Guardsmen searched for signs of aircraft being used in smuggling operations. Also checked were registrations in order to verify ownership history. This fiscal year, more than 650 aircraft were examined. Of those, over 160 aircraft had discrepancies requiring extensive research to resolve.
Immigration and Naturalization (INS)- The INS used Georgia Air National Guard C-130 aircraft this year to transport alien drug felons for deportation. Approximately, 35 felons were transported on each flight. Destinations have been Louisiana and Texas. From these locations, the aliens are deported to their respective countries. Some 50 flying hours were logged this fiscal year working for the INS.
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC)- During FY91, FLETC requested an officer be placed at the Center to assist in developing several course initiatives and to coordinate ongoing support. The Georgia National Guard has supported FLETC' s Marine Law Enforcement Program since 1989 with OV-1 photo surveillance support. Course initiatives include an airborne law enforcement surveillance course, an emergency medical techniques course, and a communications course.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) - The Georgia Air National Guard provided electronics inventory, repair and clerical assistance to DEA. Also, the Air Guard provided 15 hours of C-130 support to transport contraband.
Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC) - Support to GPSTC has included speakers and subject-matter experts. In addition the Georgia Guard provided instructors to teach surveillance and counter-surveillance techniques.

Georgia Army Guard Divisions
. he 1991 Training Year at Regional Training Site-Maintenance (RTS-M) started with receiving Training and Doctrine Command accreditation on 28 difference programs of instruction by experts from Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; Fort Leonardwood, MO; and Redstone Arsenal, AL. Immediately following the accreditation, Regional Training Site-Maintenance provided extensive training to maintenance personnel as they prepared for deployment to the Middle East.
More than 2,000 soldiers were trained at Regional Training Site-Maintenance during Operations Desert Shield and Storm. Units supported during the mobilization ranged from Army Reserve and Active Army to the National Guard, including units from the 48th Infantry Brigade. As soon as the dust settled from Operation Desert Storm, Regional Training Site-Maintenance conducted Military Occupational Specialty qualification programs of instruction.
Through Military Occupational Specialty Qualification courses as well as sustainment, transition, and additional skill identifier producing courses, the need for additional instructors and support personnel became necessary. With the student load for maintenance training growing larger daily, Regional Training Site-Maintenance was able to employ an additional 18 personnel using federal Additional Duty Special Work funds.
Recognizing the personnel shortage, and with the upcoming addition of Advanced Noncommissioned Officers Course and Basic Noncommissioned Officers Course to the Regional Training Site-Maintenance program, a Table of Distribution and Allowances change, upgrading all E6 positions to E7 was requested. The change was approved by National Guard Bureau effective October 1, 1991.
In the process of supporting individual soldiers with technical training, it also became apparent that RTS-M could conduct "collective training" for entire maintenance units." Consequently, plans were drawn for members of the 82nd Maintenance Company to be "collectively trained" during their scheduled annual training period in June 1991. The success of this pilot program confirmed that Regional Training Site-Maintenance could train an entire unit. A request was subsequently forwarded to the National Guard Bureau for an addition to the Regional Training Site-Maintenance mission, including collective training, and an expansion of its manning.
Georgia Military Institute
eorgia Military Institute continues to provide the training required to obtain optimum &"'"''..&... from our citizen soldiers while performing civil and military missions. In
to the courses traditionally offered by Georgia Military Institute, the school
5

also offers the Combat Lifesaver and Master Fitness Trainer Courses. Georgia Military Institute is the only training facility in the Second Army area which offers the Combined Army Services Staff School on an annual basis. The most recent addition to the facility is a museum telling the history of the units of the Georgia Army National Guard.
Army Guard Aviation
.,.::, uring Fiscal Year 91, the Georgia Army National Guard Aviation Program maintained a : ::_,:::high state of combat readiness and provided support to Department of Navy, Coast ::::::(~:~:;:~=:; Guard, Army, National Guard Bureau and numerous Georgia State Agencies.
Using a variety of aircraft which included the CH-54 Heavy Lift Helicopter, UH-1 Utility Helicopter, OH-58 Observation Helicopter, C-12 Utility Airplane and the OV-1 Surveillance Airplane, Georgia Army Guard aviators bolstered the counterdrug operations of the Department of Defense, Department of Customs and the Drug Enforcement Agency, among other state and Federal agencies. This year the aviation community flew more than 2,000 flying hours in Counterdrug Operations in support of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Coast Guard and the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Georgia Army aviation has three Army Aviation Support Facilities. These are located at Dobbins AFB, Winder, and Hunter Army Airfield. Each of these facilities provides maintenance and operational support to assigned aviation units. Among the sophisticated equipment which Georgia Army Guard technicians were called upon to maintain during fiscal year were airborne radars, aerial photographic systems, inertial navigation equipment, heavy lift systems, and avionics.
Modernization of Georgia Army Guard aviation assets also continued during fiscal year 1991. During the year, approval was granted for the CH-47D Heavy Helicopter to replace the aging CH-54 Sky Crane. This modernization will enhance the mission of the aviation program and provide state of the art support to the Georgia Department of Defense and other state agencies.

The Air National Guard and the United States Air Force awarded the unit the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for meritorious service for 1989-90. The award recognizes the top ten percent of all units in the Air Force and Air National Guard.
111 th Tactical Air Control Party Flight
he 111th Tactical Air Control Party Flight is located at the Glynco Jetport, Brunswick, GA. With an authorized strength of 37 officers and airmen, the unit is currently manned at 95.0 percent.
In July 1990 elements of "Venom Flight" deployed to the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, CA, to participate in "Mojave Guard I," an extensive field exercise with the 48th Brigade (Mechanized). In September 1990 the unit transferred communications and field gear to the Washington Air National Guard in order to establish a new TACP Flight at Camp Murray, WA. The 111th also participated in numerous Army National Guard field and command post exercises (FTXs and CPXs) during the past fiscal year. The unit supported a diverse group of state militia ranging from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky and Wyoming.
A mobilization of selected personnel was ordered on December 8, 1991 in support of Operation Desert Shield. Three Air Liaison Officers and eleven members of the 111th were mobilized. These members linked up with the 48th Brigade at the National Training Center for a lengthy combat preparation training tour of duty at Fort Irwin. Upon the completion of NTC rotation and the conclusion of hostilities in the Persian Gulf, the deployed members of the unit returned to Georgia for demobilization.
In June 1991 elements of the 111th deployed to Yakima Range in Washington to support "Sentry Cascade", a live fire exercise with realistic close air support training. During this month the unit also provided aggressor support for the 117th TCS during their annual training in the Brunswick area.
118th Tactical Control Squadron 129th Tactical Control Squadron
.;:;:::~he current combined authorized strength of the 118th Tactical Control Squadron and .=::::::::::: 129th Tactical Control Squadron (TCS) is 354 officers and airmen. Current manning is .=:i.::):::::r at 92.6 percent
Personnel and equipment from both units were scheduled to deploy to Denmark in August- September 1990, to support "Tactical Fighter Weaponry 90." This was canceled due to the situation in Southwest Asia. This was rescheduled for August September 1991, and successfully executed.
Personnel from the 118th TCS and 129th TCS were to be part of the "supporting cast" for the 116 TFW's participation in William Tell1990 until the competition was canceled due to Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
15

In January and February 91 satellite communication equipment from the 129th TCS and personnel from both units were deployed to Homestead AFB, FL, to support drug interdiction efforts in the Caribbean. This was due to the deployment of satellite communications equipment belonging to the 726th Tactical Control Squadron to Southwest Asia.
During the year the 118th TCS and 129th TCS provided equipment and personnel to the state drug interdiction effort. (Marijuana eradication and operation "Drop-In")
Other exercises and deployments by the 118th and the 129th included: A deployment by the 118th TCS to the Savannah Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) for two weeks in June 1991 for an Operational Readiness Exercise. A deployment by the 129th TCS 1to the Savannah CRTC for one week in June 91 for an Operational Readiness Exercise. The 118th TCS and 129th TCS deployed personnel and equipment to St. Simons Island in June for a 13 day state drug int~rdiction effort.
\
The I 18th TCS and I 29th TCS deployed personnel and equipment to Providenciales Island, British West Indies from June until September to support the federal drug interdiction effort.
Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center
he Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) is located at Savannah International Airport, GA., and shares the field with the 165th Tactical Airlift Group, Gulfstream Corporation, and commercial carriers. The CRTC with an
;:;:;:::;:;:;:::::;:::;:;:;:;:::;:
authorized strength of 57 officers and airmen is currently manned at 98.2 percent. The peacetime mission of the CRTC is to provide a complete training facility for Air
National Guard units and to support other active and reserve uniformed services on a non-interference basis. In wartime the CRTC is tasked to serve as a dispersal or staging area and to support contingency plans.
The Townsend Range is an important part of the Savannah CRTC and is one of the most active Air Guard ranges in the country. Located approximately 45 miles south of Savannah, this controlled range includes tactical targets, threat emitters and Smokey Sam/Flak launchers, significantly enhancing training realism.
The Combat Readiness Training Center received its fifth consecutive "Excellent" rating during a Unit Effectiveness Inspection. Townsend Range received its third consecutive "Outstanding" rating.

A Year ofGoals, And Accomplishments
he Adjutant General has overall responsibility for management of the technician program. Administering this program is the responsibility of the Support Personnel Management Office (SPMO). This is a joint office staffed with both Army and Air technicians.
The Georgia Army and Air National Guard employ approximately 1,443 federal technicians to manage and control resources on a day-to-day basis. The Army National Guard employs 879 technicians and the Air National Guard employs 564.
About 95 percent of the technicians are "excepted" federal employees. These
"excepted" employees must be military members of the National Guard as a condition of employment. The remaining 5 percent of the work force are "competitive" civil service employees, hired from civil service registers. Military membership is not required. Competitive positions are generally administrative and clerical.
Technicians receive the same pay as other federal personnel in the same grade and have the same rights and responsibilities as other federal employees, including retirement benefits. The technician is a key individual in the National Guard, involved
in budget and fiscal operations, administration, logistics, and I!!_aintenance of vehicles,
tanks, armament, missiles, aircraft and other skilled occupations. The technician provides for day-to-day operations of the National Guard.
Accomplishments
During Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, 315 Army and Air Guard technicians were processed to Title 10 Federal Active Duty. Temporary technicians were employed during the conflict as replacements. After termination of hostilities, the SPMO returned technicians to their federal civilian status. The SPMO has manned the technician work force at consistently high levels. A new computerized Civilian Personnel Data System was implemented. The SPMO conducted pre-retirement and personnel management seminars for 90 technicians.
Goals
The Support Personnel Management Office's goals for the federal civilian work force are to continue successful management/union negotiations in administering a new labor management agreement; improve the quality of the Civilian Personnel Data System; reduce injury compensation costs; expand recruitment efforts in search of highly
17

qualified applicants; and formulate employee training programs in the areas of performance management, adverse action and classification.
ACTIVE GUARD-RESERVE
M~ ~e.pto,-1
. he military tours branch of the Support Personnel Management Office provides services for 845 soldiers and airmen in the Georgia National guard serving on Title 32, Full-Time National Guard Duty (FTNGD). There are also 36 Georgia Guardsmen and women serving on Title 10, AGR Tours in locations throughout the
country. During 1991 the Georgia Army Guard strength authorization was reduced by 22
persons. The losses have been managed by attrition and not be terminating satisfactory employees. Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm created many new situations never before faced by AGR soldiers and airmen. For example, transitioning from Title 32 active duty to Title 10 service and return. Approximately 200 AGR soldiers and airmen were mobilized in support of Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
Equal Employment Opportunity Office
,,,:,:::_,.,_=:~ he Equal Employment Opportunity Program is a vital part of the overall mission of
\:':~:::::::':!:the Georgia National Guard. Positive actions toward eliminating discrimination by . .., ,,,;.::;':;;:': providing equal access for development, training, promotion, and career progression \} < '::::!,!,!,:! are essential to mission accomplishment.
The Adjutant General solicits commanders, supervisors, and managers at all levels to dedicate themselves to equal opportunity by insuring that all qualified personnel be granted the same consideration regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age or physical handicap.
The full-time Equal Employment Opportunity Office consists of a State Equal Employment Manager and one Equal Employment Opportunity Specialist.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Office administers the policies and programs associated with the Special Emphasis Programs (SEP). Special Emphasis Programs refers to those employment-related programs which focus special attention on specific groups (Blacks, Hispanics, women, and handicapped individuals) as a result of a particular law, regulation, or executive order. This office is also responsible for monitoring complaints of discrimination, minority composition of the units, and the Employee Assistance and Technician Assistance Programs.
This office actively participates in the Strategic Planning Committee Meetings and the Future Planning Committee which meet quarterly and monthly respectively to discuss, identify and eliminate barriers which hinder the goals of equal employment. The Future Planning Committee also identifies the important role minorities and women will play in the future of the Georgia National Guard.
18

The objective of the Georgia National Guard is that each unit throughout the state reflect the minority makeup of its community. The Georgia National Guard military and full-time labor force is comprised of 1,111 female, 5,118 blacks, 96 Hispanics, 33 Asians, and 16 American Indians, with a total minority strength of 5,266. A goal of 26 percent total minorities and 14 percent female strength has been established to assist the Guard in reflecting the state's minority demographics. The minority representation has remained stable for the past four years. The total minority representation of 37 percent is currently above the state's civilian labor force of24 percent minorities (based on the 1980 census). The female representation of 8 percent is below the state's female representation in the civilian labor force of 44 percent.
The Georgia State Defense Force
he motto, "READY TO SERVE", is not only symbolic of those Georgia volunteers who defended a fledgling colony in 1742, but is today indicative of "Volunteer" Georgians who comprise the Georgia State Defense Force (GSDF).
mission is to provide a well-trained, disciplined constabulatory force that the Governor can call upon during emergencies and disasters following federal mobilization of the state's National Guard.
During the Persian Gulf Crisis the GSDF provided administrative support for the National Guard Family assistance Centers. This included securing dependent military identification cards, assisting dependents in acquiring health services and using commissary and exchange areas.
Of special interest was the Video Greeting Card Program which a unit of the Third Brigade located in the Savannah area initiated during the 1990 holiday season.
Other missions undertaken by the GSDF included assisting the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and Chatham County in the evacuation of area of Savannah in which methane gas was surfacing.
The organization is commanded by Brigadier General John W. Gillette, GaARNG (Ret.), and consists of five brigades (Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Waycross and Columbus) with three line battalions and a support battalion. Each battalion is authorized three line companies and a small support unit.

Change Marks GE.MA's Fiscal Year
he Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) is the central coordinating authority within state government responsible for the development and maintenance of a statewide comprehensive emergency management program. The GEMA mission is to save lives, protect property, and coordinate the expeditious restoration of essential services and facilities when emergencies or disasters occur. This responsibility includes obtaining and administering federal disaster assistance programs that provide financial assistance to individual disaster victims and to government entities. GEMA operates twenty-four hours-a-day, 365 days a year as the primary National Warning System (NAWAS) point of contact for Georgia, the Nuclear Power Plant primary emergency warning point, and the emergency management direction and control network for the state. This fiscal year has been one of significant changes in the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. Mr. Gary W. McConnell was appointed by Governor Zell Miller as Executive Director in January 1991. Under new direction, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency has been restructured to respond more effectively to the guidance provided by the Governor, and the emergency preparedness and response needs of the citizens of Georgia. GEMA has been reorganized into six functional sections: Administration, Operations, Plans, Radiological Programs, Disaster Assistance, and Field Programs. Each section is headed by a Section Chief that reports to the Assistant Executive Director. The GEMA operational areas were restructured from the previous six, unequally sized areas, served by four full time, one half time and one part time Field Coordinators, into six, equally sized, more manageable areas, each served by a full time Field Coordinator.
State and Local Liaison
The mission of the State and Local Liaison Office is to develop and maintain a total emergency and disaster preparedness program in each of the 159 counties in Georgia, and in an emergency or disaster situation, to provide on-scene assistance or direction and control. To accomplish this goal, the State and Local Liaison Office provides preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery guidance and administrative assistance to local government executives and local government Emergency Management Directors.
The State and Local Liaison Office has eight positions: The State and Local Liaison Officer, six Field Coordinators, and a Secretary. The six Field Coordinators are assigned statewide, one to each of the six GEMA operational areas. The Field
26

Coordinators are responsible for providing administrative assistance to the local governments in their operational areas, and in an emergency or disaster, to provide on-scene direction and control assistance. To ensure adequate emergency response actions, an emergency response capability is maintained 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. On any particular weekend and on holidays, three Field Coordinators will be on emergency call duty, one in the northern one-third of the state, one in the central one-third, and one in the southern one- third.
The Field Coordinators traveled more than 120,000 miles last year on their assistance visits to local governments and in response to over 200 emergency incidents. In addition the Field Coordinators had central roles in responding to disasters that resulted in two Presidential Major Disaster Declarations, involving twenty-two counties.
State and Local Liaison Officer is also the Individual Assistance Officer for the state for Presidential Major Disaster Declarations. In this capacity, assistance was provided to over 1,400 individuals and businesses in two Presidential Major Disaster Declarations.
Operations
Georgia Emergency Management Agency's (GEMA) Operations Section is responsible for keeping abreast of all disasters/emergencies occurring or impending within the State of Georgia. The degree to which the emergency management system is able to save lives, protect property and coordinate the expeditious restoration of essential services and facilities, reflects GEMA' s ability to coordinate local, state and federal resources effectively and efficiently.
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated five times during FY 91 as follows:
Severe Weather- September 1990 Presidential Flood Disaster Declaration - October 11-12, 1990 Severe Weather- January 30-31, 1991 Presidential Flood Disaster Declaration- March 15, 1991 Severe Weather- March 29, 1991 1. East Central Georgia Disaster - October 1990 The October 1990 floods in east central Georgia followed one of the most severe summer droughts experienced in that area. Rainfall for 1990 had been 14.50 inches below normal in Augusta. On October 10, a slow moving cold front was located from the Great Lakes south into the gulf of Mexico. Tropical storm Klaus had disintegrated into a mass of rain storms stretching from the Bahamas north northeast into the Carolinas. A tropical storm named Marco developed in the Gulf of Mexico just west of the tip of Florida. During
27

the day and evening of October 10, southeast Georgia received three to five inches of rain.
By early Thursday, October 11, the cold front was located from central Virginia through western South Carolina to Georgia near Atlanta. The remnants of Klaus had continued through the Carolinas and had merged with the cold front. At the same time, Marco was continuing up the Florida coast in the Gulf of Mexico. Throughout the day, south Georgia experienced heavy rainfall.
By 8 p.m. on October 11, Marco had moved into northern Florida, forcing the cold front back slightly to the northwest. However, Marco, Klaus and the cold front were merging with a tremendous amount of tropical moisture in an area of instability. In Georgia, the merged front and storms moved along the eastern part of the state. Shortly before midnight, roads in the Augusta area became impassible.
Early on Friday, October 12, the National Weather Service in Atlanta began issuing river flood warning statements and stage forecasts. The heavy rains broke or approached several long-standing Georgia records. As an example, the 19.89 inches of rain for three days at Louisville broke the record of 19.69 inches set in Blakely in July 7-9, 1916. Main river flooding included the Savannah River, the Ogeechee River, Brier Creek in Burke and Screven Counties and the Ohoopee River.
By early morning of October 12, it became evident from reports received that a potential disaster was on our hands. In response, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) activated the State Emergency Operating Center and began receiving damage assessments and situation reports from the affected counties. By midday, it became evident that Columbia, Richmond and Jefferson Counties were severely affected and in the process of attempting to save lives and shelter displaced people. The Red Cross and other agencies responded immediately to assist.
GEMA contacted the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to initiate action to organize joint preliminary damage assessment teams for those counties considered most affected as determined by reports received from them. Four public assistance and three individual assistance teams were initially organized. Plans were made to have these teams begin preliminary damage assessments on Saturday, October 13, in Richmond, Columbia and Jefferson Counties. Burke County was added to the list on October 13. The Georgia National Guard was tasked to provide a helicopter to permit aerial surveillance of the damaged areas on October 12; however, weather precluded this flight until Saturday, October 13. In conjunction with conducting an aerial assessment, the Executive Director held a news conference at Bush Field to outline the procedures required to obtain a Presidential Declaration and to initiate the flow of assistance to the affected counties. This press conference was well attended by local officials, State Representatives and Senators and U.S. Congressmen. The Executive Director also met with concerned officials in Louisville.
On October 15, the preliminary damage assessment figures were provided to FEMA and GEMA by the teams. Based on the information received, a letter from the Governor to the President was prepared requesting that Burke, Columbia, Jefferson and Richmond Counties be declared major disaster areas. GEMA was already receiving
28

situation and damage assessment reports from other areas indicating that additional counties might be eligible for disaster assistance. However, the decision was made to go to the President with these four and then add the other counties as assessments could be completed. The Governor signed the request for declaration on October 16 and forwarded it through FEMA to the President.
Preliminary damage assessment teams continued in the field to estimate damages in Jenkins, Screven, Johnson, McDuffie and Emanuel Counties. Meanwhile, the GEMA staff prepared disaster plans to be implemented upon receipt of the Presidential Declaration. State agencies were notified of the potential declaration and asked to alert appropriate personnel to be prepared to support the disaster relief operation.
On October 19 at approximately 6 p.m., Governor Harris was notified of the Presidential Disaster Declaration. State agencies were notified and a state-federal briefing was scheduled for the following day. On Saturday morning, October 20, the Executive Director, now designated the State Coordinating Officer/Governor's Authorized Representative, and the Federal Coordinating Officer conducted a press briefing at Bush Field in Augusta. This briefing was designed to outline procedures to be followed for the public and local agencies to obtain required assistance. Following that briefing, the required state-federal briefing was held in Atlanta at 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, October 20. On Sunday, October 21, disaster application training was conducted for federal and state members of the Disaster Application Center staff. These teams were then dispatched that same date so that the Disaster Application Centers could be opened on Monday morning, October 22, in Richmond and Columbia Counties. Also on October 21, applicants briefings for public assistance were conducted in Augusta for the then four counties declared. A Disaster Field Office was opened in Smyrna, Georgia using the same facility that was used for the disasters declared in northwest, central and south Georgia in the spring of this year.
On Monday, October 22, Disaster Application Centers opened as scheduled in Richmond and Columbia Counties and training for damage survey report preparation was conducted for state and federal damage survey team members.
Based upon preliminary damage assessments completed since the initial request for declaration, the State Coordinating Officer/Governor's Authorized Representative requested five additional counties be declared as disaster areas. As a result of his request for these add-ons, the Federal Coordinating Officer declared Emanuel, Johnson, McDuffie and Screven Counties as disaster areas eligible for both public and individual assistance. In addition, Jenkins County was declared a disaster area eligible for individual assistance only. On the following day, an applicants briefing for public assistance was conducted in Swainsboro for the five new counties.
On Wednesday, October 24, the first five checks were issued for temporary housing assistance. In addition, the first Individual and Family Grant check was approved for payment. This issuance of checks within five days of the Presidential Declaration was a remarkable achievement.
The first package for public assistance was given to GEMA on Friday, November 2, 1990. The first applicant's briefing to include signing of grants was conducted on
29

November 7. This briefing began the actual provision of funds for public assistance projects.
As of the end of the fiscal year, the status of assistance support was as follows:

Individual and Family Grants Number of Applications Received to date Number of Applications Withdrawn to date Number of Applications Disapproved to date Number of Applications Approved to date Dollar Amount Approved to date (75%-25%) Cumulative Federal Share Approved Cumulative State Share Approved

974 11
235 709 $1,765,710 $1,324,283 $ 441,427

28 $4,684,735 $3,513,562 $ 104,794 $1,111,772

As with the previous disaster declared in Northwest, Central and south Georgia, the outstanding response efforts to provide assistance to the affected counties would not have been possible without the superb support of other state agencies. The Departments of Transportation, Human Resources, Audits, Natural Resources and others have provided truly outstanding support during all phases of both public and individual assistance assessments and support operations. All disaster relief organizations, the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Georgia Baptist Convention and others are also to be commended for their support.

2.South Georgia Disaster Beginning on March 1, 1991, rain, high winds and tornadoes were reported throughout South Georgia. Numerous reports of damage began to be received at GEMA. As is normal during flood conditions, it took several days for the waters to crest and to begin to recede to where damage assessments could be made. On Monday, March 4, as damage reports were being received, additional counties were contacted to determine the extent of the disaster area. Reports from some counties were delayed due to the continuing high water situation. By Wednesday, March 6, it became apparent that p~eliminary damage assessments for a potential Presidential Disaster Declaration were appropriate. FEMA Region N was requested to participate in joint federal, state and local damage assessment teams. On Thursday, March 7, joint damage assessment teams were deployed to Brooks, Berrien and Johnson Counties. Thomas, Bacon, Laurens, Lowndes, Coffee and Appling Counties were assessed on Friday, March 8, and Lanier, Pierce, Grady and Atkinson Counties on Saturday, March 9. Data was assembled on Sunday, March 10, and a request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration was submitted by the Governor to the President of the United States on March 11 for the 13 counties initially assessed. On Friday, March 15, the Presidential Disaster Declaration was received for all the counties requested except Grady which had not received damage of sufficient magnitude and severity to warrant the Presidential Disaster Declaration. On Saturday, March 16, the state-federal meeting was held in Atlanta and a hotline for receipt of individual applications for assistance was opened. On Sunday, March 17, applicants' briefings were conducted by the GEMA staff at Baxley, Dublin, Douglas and Valdosta. In addition, the state and federal Disaster Field Office was opened in Valdosta. Training was conducted on March 18 for the Individual Assistance staff and for the Individual and Family Grant processing team from the Department of Human Resources. Team training was also conducted for the 17 damage survey report teams to be deployed to the counties to determine actual amounts of damage for which federal and state aid would be provided at each site. Due in part to the low number of individuals and families affected in the 13 county area, it was decided early on that a Disaster Application Center would not be opened for this disaster. Instead, maximum emphasis would be placed on using the disaster hotlines for teleregistration of applicants. The first applications were received at the Disaster Field Office as a result of teleregistrations on Tuesday, March 19. The first eight checks for temporary housing were mailed the next day, March 20, and the first applications for Individual and Family Grants were processed that same date. The first grant checks were mailed on Friday, March 22. Because a Disaster Application Center was not used, an ambitious outreach program was conducted by both state and federal representatives. Outreach personnel contacted most individuals known to have suffered some damage to determine whether or not they understood the teleregistration system and had used it A strong information campaign was also conducted to ensure that the media and public officials were aware of the steps to be taken by individuals to obtain assistance. The Small Business Administration (SBA) conducted an outreach program
31

and opened workshop offices in Douglas, Baxley and Blackshear to assist individuals and businesses eligible for SBA loans.
On March 21, the preliminary damage assessments had been completed for Clinch, Jeff Davis and Ware Counties. FEMA was requested to add these counties to the disaster declaration. Amendment #1 adding the counties was approved that same day and an applicants' briefing for potential public assistance applicants was conducted at Homerville on March 22.
Hazard mitigation efforts were begun on March 16 and a Federal-State Interagency Task Force was fielded by March 18 in the disaster area. Potential sites for mitigation funding were visited that week and the required Interagency Hazard Mitigation Plan was written. Counties within the disaster area should remember that 50-50 matching funds are available for approved hazard mitigation projects.
By April9, all34 public assistance applicants had received approved packages of damage survey reports and had signed their subgrantee agreements at the Disaster Field Office. The Disaster Field Office was closed at the end of business on April 9 and GEMA personnel relocated to Atlanta on April 10 where disaster support operations will continue.
As of the end of the fiscal year, the status of assistance was as follows:

Individual and Family Grants Number of Applications Received to date Number of Applications Disapproved to date Number of Applications Approved to date Dollar Amount Approved to date (75%-25%) Cumulative Federal Share Approved Cumulative State Share Approved

3.The storm system that moved through Georgia on March 29, 1991 caused heavy damage in Douglas and Cobb Counties and moderate damage in six other counties. A tornado touched down in Douglasville in Douglas County at approximately 8:20 a.m. on the morning of March 29 and moved northeastward into Cobb County. GEMA damage assessment operations were started on Saturday, March 30, and completed on Sunday, March 31. The assessment showed that most of the damage in Douglas and Cobb Counties, estimated to be $18 million, was covered by private insurance, precluding the need for a major disaster declaration. However, the damage did create a need for a Small Business Administration (SBA) Disaster Declaration. The request for an SBA Disaster Declaration was signed by Governor Miller on Monday, April1, and forwarded to the SBA Regional Office in Atlanta the same day. The request was approved and a Disaster Declaration was signed by Patricia Saiki, SBA Administrator, on April 10. This deClaration was for Cobb and Douglas Counties, as well as the contiguous Counties of Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Fulton and Paulding. This declaration makes available low interest disaster loans to individuals and businesses. Applications for loans were accepted until close of business, June 10, 1991.
Also, GEMA Operations conducted the annual Severe Weather/Tornado Workshop and drill. This occasion was used to update State Agency Coordinators and exercise Georgia's Severe Weather/Tornado Warning System.
In addition, Operations received reports of approximately 1,433 incidents/accidents using approximately 33,286 man-hours at an estimated cost of $166,432.
During FY 91, the Governor appointed 22 county emergency management directors. GEMA Operations presented emergency management briefings to 19 of the appointees.
PROFESSIONAL DEVEWPMENT TRAINING
The GEMA Training Office administers a statewide training program for state and local emergency management personnel.
This year, the focus for training emergency management personnel was through the Professional Development Series (PDS) of courses.
The nine courses which comprise the PDS are designed to raise the skill level of emergency management personnel when dealing with natural or man-made emergencies. The emphasis for attendance at these courses is to have local Emergency Management Directors and other staff members attend with elected and appointed officials and other community response personnel as a team, because managing an emergency requires a total team effort. PDS courses 1 through 8 are conducted by GEMA staff members and adjunct instructor personnel. The PDS series has a total of 179 hours of intensive training on subjects dealing with the basics of emergency management to enhancing leadership and teamwork skills of the local emergency management team. PDS-9 is a "capstone" course and is presented by the Federal Emergency Management Agency at its National Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
33

From July 1991 through June of 1992 eight Professional Development courses were conducted by GEMA with 221 personnel completing the classes. Of this group, 5 emergency management personnel completed the PDS-9 Capstone Seminar as well and received a "Certificate of Completion" for the Professional Development Series.
Other courses conducted by GEMA trainers included certification of 20 local instructor personnel in the Radiological Protection Program. Here, representatives from throughout the state attend GEMA courses in Atlanta, become instructor trained and certified, return to their local communities and train local personnel as Radiological Monitors. In addition, both Exercise Design and Radiological Response Team Courses were held. Two Continuity of Government Workshops with 56 participants were held in conjunction with the PDS-7 course.
GEORGIA TITLE m
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL TRAINING PROGRAM
On October 17, 1986, the "Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986" (SARA) was enacted into law. One part of the SARA provisions is Title III: The Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986. Title III establishes requirements for Federal, State, and Local Governments and industry regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-To-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals.
Federal training funds were allocated to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, starting in October 1987, to promote participation in current hazardous material courses, seminars and conferences. Program managers were directed to stretch Federal Fiscal Year 1988 funds, as no funds were allocated to the program in Federal Fiscal Year 1989. Federal funds were again allocated in Federal Fiscal Year 1990, but funds were not released until March, 1990.
The Training and Standards Office was given responsibility to develop and administer the program. The Georgia Title III Hazardous Material Training Program encompasses Basic - Level I, Intermediate - Level II and Advanced - Level III Hazardous Materials courses in order to meet the needs of all state personnel from rescue volunteers to Hazardous Materials team supervisors. In 1990 a new basic hazardous materials course was obtained from the U. S. Department of Transportation with all new student manuals, slides and video-tapes. The basic course has been shortened to eight hours, and revised with Georgia Emergency Operations Planning (EOP) information for local jurisdictions to meet EPA and OSHA Awareness or Level I criteria for first responders. Forty-five instructors were trained in May of 1991 to provide a total of 126 instructors able to conduct the new course through out the state at the request of local jurisdictions. The Intermediate forty hour Hazardous Materials Task Force Development I, and the Advanced forty hour Hazardous Material Task Force Development II courses conducted at the Georgia Public Safety Center in Forsyth, Georgia by Georgia Fire Academy Personnel provide a broad spectrum of training opportunities available to the first responders of Georgia.
34

In the period July 1990 through June 1991: (1) 45 additional instructors were trained to conduct the basic eight hour hazardous materials course adopted from the U.S. DOT "Awareness for Initial Response to Hazardous Materials Incidents." (2) 5,096 first responders attended 223, eight hour, Basic Level I "Awareness for Initial Response to Hazardous Materials Incidents Courses." (3) 124 first responders attended five, forty hour, Intermediate Level IT "Hazardous Materials Task Force Development I (HMTFDI) Courses" conducted by the Georgia Fire Academy at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, Georgia. The HMTFDI course is composed of the National Fire Academy courses; Hazardous Material Incident Analysis and Hazardous Materials: The Pesticide Challenge. (4) 110 first responders attended five, forty hour, Advanced Level Ill "Hazardous Materials Task Force. Development II (HMTFDIT) Courses" conducted by the Georgia Fire Academy at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, Georgia. The HMTFDII course is composed of the Environmental Protection Agency course Hazardous Material Response for First Response (165.15).
EXERCISE TRAINING
In FY91, the role, purpose and scope of the State Exercise Program was broad-based and had the potential for improving integration across programs. The purposes of the exercise program were to test, evaluate, plan, develop and /or demonstrate emergency management systems and individual components and capabilities.
The objective for FY91 was the development, strengthening and conducting coordinated exercise analysis to identify operational capabilities and program deficiencies that related primarily to the proficiency of the local jurisdiction's comprehensive exercise program.
FY91 continued to emphasize an individual, self-directed training approach to encourage the inter-agency awareness for emergency managers in conducting emergency preparedness exercises. During the fiscal year, state and local organizations conducted 214 emergency management exercises. There were 18,681 personnel that participated in the FY9~ Emergency Management Exercise Program.
A review of those local exercises evaluated over the past year indicated a strong tendency to demonstrate complete utilization of the Emergency Management process. Experience has shown that there is a great deal to be learned from exercises.
This directly supported the goal of Integrated Emergency Management Systems which is to develop and maintain a credible emergency management capability locally by integrating all activity, including exercises, and to the fullest extent possible across all hazards.
The following activities were formally evaluated by GEMA, highlighting numerous examples of outstanding preparation and participation.

Family Protection training has been initiated and information provided to the local jurisdictions. This new program is presented inconjunction with Severe Weather Awareness Week. This is a FEMA oriented program whose primary objective is to fmd ways to help citizens take actions today that will increase their emergency preparedness ability to respond in time of disaster.

Over ihe past five years (1986-1991) the EMT program has been committed to conducting progressively more challenging exercises. The entire process of establishing an emergency management TEAM, identifying hazards, assessing capabilities, developing an emergency operations plan, and exercising that EOP has proven that Georgia's communities are ready and able to protect its citizens during actual emergencies and disasters.

RESCUE

The Rescue Training and Licensing Office administers a program providing Rescue, Hazardous Materials and Vehicular Crash Victim Extrication training courses. Classes are available statewide to emergency services personnel including fire, law enforcement, emergency medical and Emergency Management Agency volunteers.
During FY 91, a total of 314 such classes were presented providing instruction to 6,237 students which established a new record for the number of classes conducted and students trained in a fiscal year. The courses, which mean the difference between life and death for some Georgia citizens, continue to be extremely popular among all the emergency services. Indications are that FY 92 will be another record breaking year.
In FY 90, there were 48 licensed rescue units within the state. At the completion of FY 91, the number had grown to 61 valid rescue licenses and the number is increasing monthly.

GRANTS MANAGEMENT

FORMATION OF GRANTS MANAGEMENT SECTION
In November 1990, the duties and responsibilities of the Standards and Assistance Section were significantly revised. The major emphasis of this section was switched from performing studies and writing policies and procedures to providing assistance to State agencies and Local governments in obtaining and administering federal disaster assistance grants following a Presidential Disaster Declaration. This action was accomplished as a result Georgia's having two disasters declared in an eight month period. The prudence of this action was underscored in March 1991, when Georgia received its third Presidential Disaster Declaration in thirteen months. The section is

36

now administering grants totalling $19,900,000. A total of 123 applicants, composed of local governments, state agencies, and private, nonprofit organizations in 48 Georgia counties are receiving assistance.
AGRICULTURE DISASTER DECLARATIONS The Secretary, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has statutory authority to issue agricultural disaster declarations in situations wherein damages to crops are not of sufficient severity to warrant a Presidential Disaster Declaration. In FY 1991, there were three such declarations issued which affected Georgia farmers. Eligible farmers in the affected counties could receive low interest loans from the Farmers Home Administration and assistance from other programs. In June 1991, in response to Governor Miller's request, a declaration was issued for Brooks, Colquitt and Cook Counties as a result of a severe hail storm accompanied by heavy rains and high winds which occurred on April 20, 1991. Affected farmers in the contiguous counties of Berrien, Lowndes, Mitchell, Thomas, Tift and Worth were also eligible for assistance. Also in June, three Alabama counties were declared as agricultural disaster areas as a result of tornadoes which struck on March 29, 1991. Farmers in the contiguous Georgia counties of Chattahoochee, Muscogee, and Stewart were eligible for assistance. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DISASTER DECLARATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) also has statutory authority similar to the USDA to issue a disaster declaration when substantial damages occur which are not of sufficient magnitude to warrant a Presidential Declaration. At least 25 homes or businesses, or a combination of the two totalling 25, must have suffered 40 percent or more uninsured losses. On March 29, 1991, tornadoes, heavy rains and high winds struck Cobb and Douglas Counties creating such a situation. Losses to property were estimated at $18,900,000 with 496 residences and 145 businesses being destroyed or severely damaged. Seventy-two families were homeless. Fortunately, most of the damages were covered by insurance and there were no deaths or severe injuries so that a Presidential Disaster Declaration was not requested. An SBA Disaster Declaration was however requested by Governor Miller and was issued by the SBA on AprillO, 1991 for Cobb and Douglas Counties. Qualifying individuals and small businesses in those counties and the contiguous counties of Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Fulton, and Paulding were eligible to receive low interest loans.
DIRECTION, CONTROL, AND WARNING
The Federal Emergency Management Agency makes matching federal funds (50% federal and 50% local) available to qualified local emergency management organizations to purchase radios, outdoor warning sirens, pagers, generators and other similar equipment to improve the capabilities of local jurisdictions to warn the populace of impending disasters, such as a tornado, to provide information on how to react to a
37

disaster, and to effectively control and coordinate local response to lessen the effects o a disastrous situation. In FY 1991, 21local jurisdictions received a total of $73,010 fo 30 different projects to purchase equipment for these purposes.
PLANS
The Georgia Emergency Management Planning Office is responsible for personnel and resources to accomplish the emergency planning functions which include attack preparedness planning, natural disaster planning, facilities survey and radiological emergency planning. The sections within the planning office are designated Populatio1 Protection Planning, Disaster Preparedness Planning, Facilities Survey and Radiological Emergency Planning.
POPULATION PROTECTION Population Protection Planners continued the emphasis as outlined in a four year cycle, negotiated under the Comprehensive Cooperative Agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This agreement called for developing, revising and publishing local emergency operations plans (EOPs). Technical support was directed primarily to Georgia counties that do not receive any federal funding for emergency management activities. During FY91, Emergency Operations Plans were developed fo1 Baldwin, Chattooga, Effingham, Jenkins, Oglethorpe, Pierce, Tattnall, Jeff Davis, Macon, Greene, Murray, Screven, Stewart, Talbot, Towns, Walker, Treutlen, Baker, Jasper and Cherokee Counties. The development of twenty EOPs in one fiscal year is an all-time record. Along with the development of twenty EOPs, Population Protection Planners conducted nineteen planning workshops and provided 63 technical visits to other Georgia counties. Two state level plans were updated or revised. These were the Georgia Nuclear Emergency Operations Plan and the Georgia Repatriation Plan. The Georgia Emergency Broadcast Plan and the Georgia Waming Plan were maintained for current operations.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
