Thanks to King County’s Dave Nichols for spotting this infographic by the Digital Surgeons depicting where FEMA’s funds have gone this year.
[Update 24 Oct: USA Today has an interesting article out that indicates recent FEMA funding has been on smaller storms than were previously covered: ~50% of disasters in the last 4 years had damage under $10 million.Washington's emergency management chief Jim Mullen, and National Emergency Management Association President was widely quoted in the story.]
Hundreds of people and a score of emergency agencies will participate in Snohomish County’s largest disaster drill ever. "Shake, Rattle and Roll 2011" will be held Wednesday at Arlington's municipal airport. The scenario is a 7.5 magnitude earthquake along the South Whidbey Fault, which runs through Snohomish County.
