Washington, D.C. – The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency is closely monitoring the progress of Hurricane Rita and making continuous preparations for the storm. FEMA again reminds residents in Florida and the Gulf Coast states to pay close attention to Hurricane Rita and to listen to local officials and follow their instructions.
"President Bush has issued an emergency declaration in Florida per the request of the Governor," said Acting FEMA Director R. David Paulison. "FEMA is pre-positioning rescue personnel and commodities in Florida and we are working very closely with all of our federal, state, and local partners." (More Information)
