FEMA AUTHORIZES FUNDS TO HELP FIGHT BADGER MOUNTAIN COMPLEX FIRE
SEATTLE – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) this afternoon authorized the use of federal funds to
help Washington State fight the Badger Mountain Complex Fire, burning near East
Wenatchee.
FEMA Regional Administrator Susan Reinertson said the state’s request for
federal fire management assistance was approved after it was confirmed that the
fire had closed Highway 97, forced the evacuation of 200 homes between Rocky
Reach Dam and Orondo, and disrupted power to 18,000 residents in Douglas County.
“The Badger Mountain Complex Fire is not yet contained, and FEMA is committed
to getting our communities the funds they need to extinguish dangerous fires
that threaten lives and property,” said Reinertson. “This declaration is the
first step towards enabling the state and local governments to apply for
financial help.” Reinertson encouraged Douglas County residents to monitor
conditions carefully and heed safety instructions issued by local officials.
The authorization makes FEMA funding available to pay 75 percent of the
state’s eligible firefighting costs under an approved grant for managing,
mitigating and controlling designated fires.
Federal fire management assistance is provided through the President’s
Disaster Relief Fund and made available by FEMA to assist in fighting fires that
threaten to cause a major disaster. Eligible state firefighting costs
covered by the aid must first meet a minimum threshold for costs before
assistance is provided. Eligible costs covered by the aid can include
expenses for field camps; equipment use, repair and replacement; tools,
materials and supplies; and mobilization and demobilization activities.
FEMA coordinates the federal government’s role in preparing for, preventing,
mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic
disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.
MariKay
Coyer is the new Mrs. Washington America.
MariKay Coyer was crowned as Mrs. Washington America 2008 Saturday evening at
the Moses Lake High School Auditorium.
The event
celebrated Pam Curnel's 15th Anniversary as the Director of the Mrs. Washington
American Pageant.
It was a
wonderful evening of nostalgia as most of the former Mrs. Washington America
queens were in Moses Lake for the event along with KTAC's CEO, Tom Read, who
MCed the pageant for many years.
MariKay will
represent Washington State in the national Mrs. America Pageant in Arizona.
