J nlv 10. continued <br /> <br />Hazards researchers and practitioners have begun talking more and more ahout integrating <br />sensihle hazards management and mitigation with the principles and practices of long-term <br />sustainability at the local level. This session will examine how the recovery period can be <br />used to integrate local planning, sustainability, and hazard mitigation. Discussants will <br />consider such issues as: What does "sustainable" local recovery from a disaster look like? <br />How can recovery be used to foster components of sustainability such as social equity, <br />enhancement of the natural environment, improvement in the quality of life, accountability <br />to future generations, and local economic vitality? What kind of technical, fmancial, and <br />other help do local staff and officials need to focus on sustainability during recovery? <br /> <br />4. EVACUATION AND HURRICANE FLOYD <br />Moderator and discussant: Jay Baker, Florida State University <br />Discussants: <br />John Copenhaver, FEMA Region IV <br />Don Lewis, Pos~ Buckley, Schnh, and Jernigan, Inc. <br />Susan Cutter, University of South Carolina <br />Recorder: John Whitehead, East Carolina University <br /> <br />In September 1999, Hurricane Floyd resulted in evacuation orders for coastal areas from <br />Florida to Virginia. The size of this evacuation highlighted many issues, including the <br />viability of one-way traffic, the need for phased evacuation, the need for better real-time <br />information during evacuation for both public officials and evacuees, and the need for better <br />planning for inland flooding evacuation. Discussants in this session will describe some of <br />these issues and debate the policy options for improving evacuations in the future. <br /> <br />5. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND HAZARDS <br />Moderator: Eamest Paylor, National Aeronautics and Space Administration <br />Discussants: <br />Ute Dymon, U.S. Geological Survey and Kent State University <br />David Maune, Dewberry & Davis <br />Robert Feden, Department ofDefense <br />Joe Lees, Pacific Disaster Center <br />Recorder: Dorothy Tao, Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research <br /> <br />Modem information technology generates vast amounts of data, but how can that <br />information be captured and used to promote disaster mitigation? Discussants represent <br />producers, integrators, and users of hazards information. <br /> <br />6. NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOs): SWITCHING GEARS <br />FOR HAZARD MITIGATION <br />Moderator: Diane Merten, Benton County Emergency Management Council <br />Discussants: <br />Linda Reed-Brown, Church World Service <br />Mark Hansen, Michigan State University (PPOO-6) <br />Recorder: Bob Goldhanuner, International Association of Emergency Managers <br /> <br />Community-based, faith-based, and other nongovernmental organizations active in disasters <br />have historically focused primarily on relief and recovery. As the disaster response world <br />shifts from being re-active to pro-active, these organizations must detennine their roles in <br />preparedness and mitigation. Discussants will share their thoughts on this change and <br />suggest ideas about how the research community can help defme these new directions. <br /> <br />3 <br />
