Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FEMA Think Tank

Store colder than ice material, in indestructible containers, at north and south poles, 10000 tons etc., retard the warming effects. Also in Greenland, on glaciers. Rebuld glaciers by retarding the warming, by strategic colder-than-ice materials (ammonia, acetone, etc.)

When Jet Stream (100 to 400 miles wide, and 1 to 3 miles thick, at an altitude of the troposphere, i.e. 30000 feet 6 miles up) keeps weather pattern destructive of life and property, have 10 to 25 supersonic jets break sound-barrier simultenously in desired location. Move Jet stream direction.

QED. Will it work?

Continuous air-drop of ice blocks into ocean, ahead of hurricane; delivered by 10 to 30 rear-opening cargo planes, drop 1 cubic foot ice-blocks, by the ton, over large area, reduce water Temp., robbing hurricane of energy. At least reduce force.

Mesh if water-tubing, fire-resistant, large enough to pull over house, covered with water holes. Attach to hose outlet of house; pull over house in minutes by tossing drag-lines over roof, pull from other side. Leave house with on-gonig water-spray effect of entire building.

Deliver percussion bomb, cellulose so no shards, by tank type delivery, mortar, with barometric fuse to detect passing through Tornado wall. Blast tornado apart, safely. Tracking device for unexplloded bomb. Remote control vehicle, or manned, heavy enough to be safe, cross country capability.

Launch cellulose percusson bomblets, with barometric fuses which detect passing through tornado wall; cellulose will disintegrate, deliver percussion only, no shards; deliver by tank-track mortar vehicle, remote control or manned, heavy enough (Abrams tank weight) for safety, cross all terrain. Percussion bomb sufficient to disintegrate tornado safely. TRacking device for unexploded bombs.

Ceremic VW size, tank-track vehicle, with porcupine water-nozzles, trailing water hose, and embedded electrical lines for engine, covered with reticulated slick material to facilitate dragging some distance, spray semisphere of water into hottest parts of fires.

Place mile long bladders in central channels, heavy construction material, 1/3rd width of river, inflate when no danger, keep inflated, displacing millions of gallons; when flooding threatens, let out some or all air.

VW size ceramic, tank track vehicle, trailing water hose in reticulated slick material, with water outlets, porcupine, direct remote control into hottest parts of fires.

Remote controlled tank track vehicle, ceramic, VW size, manufacures ice balls on board, trailing water hose with reticulated slick cover, electrical wire for simple engine, shoot ice balls by air-rifle to hottest beds of fire, and in advance of fire.

Lakes with Parks with wide Roads install water mains with hydrants with high volume pumps,circulate all water and filter from lakes,install high volume metal sprinkler systems, charge fees for recreation to fund projects,install back-flow prevention on Sprinkler risers and charge with freeze resistant safe chemicals,for winter provide security for all sprinkler heads.Use quality products to prevent high maintenance!The ...more »

A logistics clearinghouse managed by a SME for rapid assessment, identification and notification of assets available, by region and nationally for underwater operations needs in support of local, regional and national event management. Teams, areas of specialization, equipment and availability for mutual aid response could be requested and assigned through this office, with Priority Status. The office would work closely ...more »

Greetings: For those areas where intense floodings are always a problem, why not make it possible for every household to obtain "inflatable dinghys" large enough to hold members of a household, at least moored near their homes until recue arrives. Very practical and safe. I made this same recommendation many years ago to FEMA, but no one ever replied.

The Gap: Water Rescue Teams (WRT) are utilizing watercrafts (i.e. inflatables and jon-boats) that are not adequate to protect the WRT from the dangers of a flood and/or hurricane environment and are too unstable and fragile to safely transport multiple victims during said events. As such, the watercrafts are subject to puncture/tearing/sinking, the outboard engines/props are easily damaged due to the debris in the ...more »

Rebuilding following tornado disaster. Use only Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) in tornado areas. Here is why: Much stronger resistance to forces of tornados and earthquakes Less lumber by 60%., Structure erection time 2/3 days for 2/3 men, less onsite manpower Allows finishing by Owner, their choice, Energy savings 50 to 80% over life of building Numerous contractors in the country Costs equal perhaps ...more »
