Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
The devastation in the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Katrina has stirred debate across the country -- including here in New Hampshire-- about how other emergencies would be handled.
States are re-evaluating emergency preparedness plans.
In fact, Governor Lynch has joined with the U-S Department of Homeland Security in declaring September "Preparedness Month" in New Hampshire.
The Governor says the state's emergency preparedness plans must be under constant review -- especially to see what can be learned from Katrina.
After watching what happened in the Gulf States, Governor Lynch re-iterated how
important it is to have close co-ordination and communication between local, state
and federal governments during a disaster.

Will there be times when NH stumbles and falls when disaster strikes. absolutely --but, we'll get on our feet more quickly than MOST.
That's the assessment of the state's Top Disaster Official, Bruce ChEENey--a veteran in the emergency response field.
I sat down with him at the state's emergency operations center in Concord to ask him why?

ChEENy says -- the state has a system in place that will allow them to pinpoint locations of critical resources in an emergency.such as food, water and pharmaceuticals.
With that information authorities will be able to quicky seize and distribute items when "time" is of the essence.
As for Communications -- the state is looking at wireless-back up for cellular phones, as well as back-ups for its satellite and radio communication.
ChEENy says the lessons learned in New Orleans will be vital to strengthening the "efficiency" of NH"s disaster response capabilities.
script iconIntro Seabrook
Return to index of stories...
It's been 15 years since the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station was connected to the power grid.
Today, it generates more than a thousand megawatts of electricity, plenty to power every home in the state.
Those who are recent arrivals to New Hampshire may regard it as simply another source of electricity.
But the Seabrook station is far more than that.
It's the last nuclear plant to be built in this country, and its construction spanned nearly two decades of protests, strife, and political battles that bankrupted its builders and symbolized the end of an era.
Richard Ager brings us the story.

CONCORD - Hurricane Katrina has stirred up debate about the
government's role in responding to disasters. But New Hampshire
officials are reminding residents that preparing for an emergency
starts at home.
State emergency director Bruce Cheney says the speed with which
New Hampshire offered help to the hurricane victims showed that the
state is way ahead of other places in being prepared for disasters.
But he says individuals must do their part as well so they're ready
to help their families and their neighbors.
Governor John Lynch and other officials joined Cheney at a news
conference this afternoon in a church basement where the American
Red Cross was setting up for a blood drive.
Pricilla Greene of the Concord area chapter of the Red Cross
outlined several steps individuals and families should take to
prepare for disasters, including developing a plan for how
relatives will find each other and putting together a survival kit.
