Feds: 27 Levees Could Overflow if Sandbags Fail PlusFeds: 27 Levees Could Overflow if Sandbags FailFeds: 27 Levees Could Overflow if Sandbags FailThe Associated PressThe Federal Government has released a map showing 27 areas where they're worried levees along the Mississippi River could overflow due to rising water levels. (June 17)[Notes:aerial shots of swollen waterways] For residents in the midwest coping with severe flooding, all eyes are on the levees. [Notes:shots of sandbagging]Despite a massive sandbagging effort -- the government says 27 of them could overflow along the Mississippi river And that could mean a new round of deep waters moving into towns and cities. [Notes:graphics with video] Here's a look at the areas federal authorities are worried about -- The areas in red are places along the river that officials fear the water could either overtop -- meaning river water will run over the levee, causing erosion that could further endanger it -- or the levee could breach altogether. The danger area stretches from southeastern Iowa -- parts of Illinois, and down towards St. Louis Missouri. One levee broke Tuesday morning south of Gulfport, Illinois -- forcing the closure of a bridge. Amid these new concerns -- a new plea for help The American Red Cross says its disaster relief fund has been completely spent -- and the agency is now borrowing money to help flood victims throughout the Midwest. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Broken Levees, Broken Lives: Katrina's Healthcare Legacy Watch and Share this Compelling New Video Short: "Broken Levees, Broken Lives"...the Post-Katrina Focus on Health Three years after Hurricane Katrina, the people of New Orleans are still waiting... Even though flooding only occurred in the basement, which was cleaned up and ready to reopen in October of 2005, the famous Charity Hospital in New Orleans remains closed in 2008 as the Louisiana State University (LSU) systems office and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) squabble over plans to build a newer, prettier hospital—a project which would take years and millions of dollars to complete while Charity stands empty. Meanwhile, the people of NOLA rely heavily on free health clinics, or wait in long lines to be seen at smaller remaining hospitals while their health deteriorates. Many Americans are unaware that Charity is the second-largest hospital in the nation, and had been serving as the primary trauma center for all of southern Louisiana. They also may be unaware, as Dr. James Moises highlights in the video, that there is a national trend to close public hospitals like Charity, marking the end of our public health safety net as we know it. Will America be ready for the next disaster? "We're still not prepared," says Kim Lange, a New Orleans native and nurse practitioner featured in the video. "We need a national healthcare system that has the capability of stepping in at the time of impact and providing the healthcare services needed." Regardless of age, socioeconomic status, religion, cultural background, or race, we all must face the fears of illness, aging, and death. Guaranteed universal healthcare for everyone in America is the only compassionate solution! *** Please make comments and share this video widely! *** ---------------------- TAKE ACTION at: http://www.GuaranteedHealthcare.org * Sign our online petition for HR 676 * Donate to NOLA's free health clinics * Join the RNRN Disaster Relief Network * Tell us your own healthcare story TAKE ACTION at: http://www.GuaranteedHealthcare.org ---------------------- Related News: Fixing Charity is the faster, cheaper option, study says But state supporting brand-new hospital The Times-Picayune 08/21/08 http://www.calnurses.org/media-center/in-the-news/2008/august/fixing-charity-is-the-faster-cheaper-option-study-says.html --- New Orleans braces for hurricane Gustav on Katrina anniversary Times Online 08/28/08 http://www.calnurses.org/media-center/in-the-news/2008/august/new-orleans-braces-for-hurricane-on-katrina-anniversary.html --- Three Years Post-Katrina, New Orleans in Healthcare Crisis and Bracing for Gustav - Nurses release anniversary video documenting the crisis CNA/NNOC Press Release 08/28/08 http://www.calnurses.org/media-center/press-releases/2008/august/three-years-post-katrina-new-orleans-faces-growing-healthcare-crisis.html --------------- A CNA/NNOC Presentation Colette Washington, Producer / Director Jay Johnson, Cinematographer / Editor --------------- Tags: Trouble the Water Hurricane Katrina New Orleans Louisiana Broken Levees Lives CNA NNOC HR676 RN nurses doctors hospitals public health LSU FEMA Single Payer Healthcare |

Rebuild Mississippi River Mud Levee; New Levee Design With Levees breaking all over the United States of America, a completely different Levee design is needed. Mud is Mud. Dirt is Dirt. Water will "Liquefy" Mud (Dirt). That is a known fact. So why keep on building a system that will break again. That is wasting time and money. I have been presenting this design for the past 3 years. I have been on TV. This system has been emailed to every Senator and Representative in Washington. This system has been sent to every District of the Corps of Engineers in the U. S. This System has been put directly into the hands of Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. This system is even on the Internet and has been viewed by thousands of people all over the world. All have turned a deaf ear to this design. Why? Because the engineers who viewed my presentation could not find any fault with this system. In fact they said that this is exactly what's needed. But will not build it. Why? The reason is that they did not come up with the idea. And second they will not be able to make a bunch of money off of this idea. They have chosen to make more money rather than saving peoples lives. They have had over 60 years to solve the problem with mud levees namely the "Liquefied Zone" (visit my website for meaning). And to date has come up with NO solution of solving the "Liquefied Zone" problem. So they decided to talk about it least as possible. The problem with ALL mud levees is "The Liquefied Zone". This is the bottom of All mud levees where two different types of mud are joining together. They liquefy and begin to weaken. The weakest part of ALL mud levees is the top. When water rises so does water pressure. The tops of ALL mud levees are smaller at the top than the bottom. That is why a completely different design is needed. Mud levees cannot compete with greater water pressure. By building this different levee design; the top of this levee design is the same strength as the bottom. So if water rises, simply add onto this different design as needed and have the same strength to hold back the greater water pressure that has accrued. This different levee design can also be used as a barrier to lower storm surge. This different levee design can also be used for land restoration. These are just some of the ways this different levee design can be used. One design that can be used for multiple purposes that will result in lower cost and a stronger means of protection. But people are to busy with their own agenda. So Almighty God has gotten their attention. Levees are breaking at an alarming rate. How will they be repaired? Sheet pile does not work. Rocks do not work. Levee walls do not work. More mud levees with different mud does not work. Mud is Mud and Dirt is Dirt. Cheap to build and costly to repair. Different people have to get involved. The Corps of Engineers will continue doing what they where thought in school. That's all they know how to do. The contractors they employ will do what they know how to do. The same disaster will happen again. And they know that. That is why they say, we will build it again but it will break. They are thinking inside the box. The answer will come from outside the box. A completely different way of thinking about levees. The problem is that when a design proves to work and save lives it is past own to the people in charge to evaluate. Guess who they are. The Corps of engineers and their contractors. The answer will NOT come from them. The answer has just been presented to you. So you are without excuse to say that a different levee system does not exists. Here it is. So what will you do? Will it take the people to the United States to protest against the current people in charge of protecting them and say swallow your pride and admit that they do not know what to do? When the solution has been given to them all designed and ready to be built. How simple can that be? Maybe to simple. Man makes things complicated. God makes things simple. Man wants personal gains. God offers protection for His people. You have your solution. Build it or continue losing lives, property and business. While the same current people in charge get richer and richer at the expense of human lives.

Levees Fail in Missouri SelectPlusLevees Fail in MissouriLevees Fail in MissouriThe Associated PressThe Mississippi River is overflowing 90 percent of the levees in one Missouri County as officials announce the levee breaks are easing pressure on many further downstream. (June 20)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:aerials of WINFIELD, MO levee break]Emergency officials in Missouri say it's likely more levees will fall victim to the Mississippi River.Three broke Thursday in the Show-Me State including this one in Winfield. The breaks send water gushing toward homes and farm fields. Officials say those levee breaks are actually lowering crest predictions downstream since tens of thousands of gallons of water won't be flowing south. [Notes:CANTON, MO - sandbagging efforts] Midwesterners along the Mississippi are doing what they can to fight the floodwaters, but it's an uphill battle. [Notes:FOLEY. MO - man on roof]This man in Foley says he moved to a tent on the roof of his home. He says from there, he can keep an eye on his property. [Notes:CEDAR RAPIDS, IA - Bush visit] Up river, in Iowa, the waters are receding. That's where President Bush went on Thursday to see the devastation. [Notes:COLUMBUS JUNCTION, IA - McCain visit]And he wasn't the only politician checking out the damage. Republican presidential hopeful John McCain also got a personal tour of the mess in southeast Iowa. [Notes:WQAD MATERIAL - courtesy - various of wedding] Meanwhile, a couple in that Iowa town decided the high water couldn't spoil their plans to tie the knot. Curtis White is in the Iowa National Guard. He's on flood duty, he and his fiance' Daniele Ritter decided to move their Wednesday wedding so it could happen WHEN it was planned.Of course, how it actually happened was a lot different that how it was planned. Ritter walked up highway 92 instead of a church aisle and the National Guard chaplain presided over the ceremony. ___ ___, The Associated Press Tags: midwest flooding levees fail missouri |

ASCE does PR campaign for Corps of Engineers In a press conference, the grassroots group Levees.Org released records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act revealing that just weeks after levees failed in New Orleans, the people responsible for making the levees, the US Army Corps of Engineers directed and later paid an engineering group to communicate lessons learned from Katrina. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) received $1.1 million in taxpayer money to peer review the official levee failure study post-K. At the presser, Levees.Org shows how power point presentations by ASCE downplayed the fault of the Corps, overstated the responsibilities of the local authorities, diluted the need to alter levee building standards nationwide, and overstated the vulnerability of the city and the strength of the storm.
