Public Service Announcement #1: HEALTH CARE AND AIDS
I am committed to reforming health care in our country. Our health
care programs have been hard hit by AIDS. HIV has spread at a
devastating rate into our neighborhoods, our work places, our
schools and our families. Together we can prevent the further
spread of HIV. We must learn the facts and continue to support
community organizations. Together we must develop an understanding
of HIV and a compassion for those living with AIDS. I am committed
to health care without discrimination or exclusion. We have to make
a change now. Together we can make a commitment to life.
Public Service Announcement #2: AIDS IN OUR SOCIETY
HIV is spreading through our society. It's not stopping to choose
a skin color, income, age, or sexual preference. HIV does not
discriminate. We are all affected and together we must share the
responsibility in preventing the further spread of HIV. Together
we must learn the facts. Find out about the many services
available in your community. Talk to your kids, your parents, your
friends. Spread compassion, not HIV.
Public Service Announcements #3: AIDS PROJECT LOS ANGELES
In my commitment to health care in our country, I have an
obligation to those in need of assistance. The rapid spread of HIV
has affected every community. Thankfully, there are community
organizations such as AIDS Project Los Angeles. APLA provides AIDS
education, as well as support and assistance for those living with
the virus, their families and friends. We are all responsible for
knowing the facts in preventing the further spread of HIV.
Together we can make a commitment to life.

Talking Points: January 25, 1994
Federal Actions in Response to
the California Earthquake
FEMA Director Witt, HUD Secretary Cisneros, DOT
Secretary Peña, and DOEd Secretary Riley met at the Disaster
Field Office yesterday to discuss disaster response efforts, and
how those efforts can be coordinated with State and local
activities.
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) announced
that 759 schools were open in the L.A. area today, with 76
schools completely closed due to earthquake damage.
--
School inspections remains a top priority for FEMA's
Director Witt. Three Damage Survey Report (DSR)
inspection teams have already been dispatched to conduct
school inspections, and FEMA has issued a mission
assignment to the Army Corps of Engineers to provide
personnel to assist with structural inspections.
I
Governor Wilson made available nearly 230 portable
classrooms for the LAUSD.
A total of 16 Disaster Application Centers (DACs) are open in
the disaster area. In addition, numerous mobile DACs and
eight teleregistration centers are being utilized to accept
disaster applications from Los Angeles area victims.
At this time, 1,371 individuals are being utilized to man
teleregistration facilities.
Around 85,000 registrations have been received to date.

An estimate has been made that between 100,000 and 150,000
people are still without water. The Federal government
continues to operate 12 water distribution centers, and is
utilizing 23 tanker trucks to support water operations. Water
is also being provided to 16 sites operated by the Los Angeles
Department of Power and Water.
Forty Red Cross and Salvation Army shelters are open in the
disaster area, housing an estimated 14,389 last night. Red
Cross reports that a total of 39,960 individuals have been
sheltered thus far in the Northridge earthquake disaster.
An estimated 67 mobile canteens are distributing food
throughout the disaster area (30 additional mobile feeding
units are enroute). A total of 224,510 meals have been served
since January 17.
Seven Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs) are
operational in the disaster area. Three Veterans
Administration Mobile Health Clinics are now operational as
well.
The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services and
Veterans Affairs worked with the State yesterday to deploy ten
mobile clinics to serve victim primary health care needs.
These clinics are operational in those areas considered to be in
greatest need.
Applications for the Disaster Food Stamp Program have been
light since victim certification began yesterday. A publicity
and outreach campaign has been initiated in order to get the
word out to more victims that they may be eligible to receive
up to one month's food benefits.

The Red Cross estimates that 36,577 residences have been
damaged by the earthquake. Almost 18,000 of these have
either been destroyed or experienced major damage.
In an effort to seek out disaster victims and provide them with
Federal assistance, FEMA began today to send registrars into
the temporary emergency park centers established by the
California National Guard to take disaster assistance
applications.

Activities of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
in Response to the Northridge Earthquake
January 25. 1994
On January 17, FEMA Director Witt traveled into the disaster area to personally head-up
disaster response and recovery operations. Director of the California Office of Emergency
Services, Dick Andrews, and FEMA Director Witt are working ciosely together to determine
requirements and provide support.
Under the Federal Response Plan, FEMA has been working with the State to proactively
identify resource needs for disaster response, and has been issuing mission assignments to and
providing funding for the Federal agencies and the Red Cross to provide requested assistance in
a responsive and efficient manner.
An adjustment of the Federal/non-Federal cost-share ratio for Public Assistance from 75/25 to
90/10 was approved for the State of California on January 25. This adjustment was granted
due to the tremendous impact that the earthquake has had upon the national economy.
FEMA has established a mobilization center at March Air Force Base and has aggressively
staged supplies. personnel, and resources there in anticipation of disaster-related needs. For
example, additional emergency water supplies have been staged as a preparative measure for
possible shortages.
In order to facilitate recovery from the Northridge earthquake, the State of California was
given an advance of $100 million for Public Assistance costs for this disaster.
FEMA is funding the costs of direct Federal assistance for emergency work at 100 percent
until January 25.
Sixteen Disaster Application Centers (DACs), numerous mobile DACs, and eight
teleregistration centers have been made available to accept disaster applications from victims in
the State of California. Registrars are also being mobilized to be sent into the temporary
emergency park centers to accept applications from victims at off-site locations. FEMA has
accepted registrations at a record pace. taking about 85,000 registrations from disaster victims
thus far.
To meet the great demand for teleregistration, FEMA Headquarters expeditiously
trained over 100 Agency personnel and established a teleregistration center on-site in
Washington, DC.
When certain DACs experienced large crowds, four buses were lined up to transport
victims from the Northridge area DACs to DACs that were not as busy.
Hundreds of private citizens, Federai, State and local employees have been given
training on working in DACs and/or accepting disaster applications via teleregistration.

Three Damage Survey Report (DSR) teams have initiated inspection of damaged school
buildings in the Los Angeles area. Two teams have been used to inspect hospitals damaged by
the earthquake.
FEMA has scheduled Public Assistance applicant briefings to inform States, localities, and
eligible non-profit institutions how they may apply for and access funding.
FEMA has established The Recovery Channel, which is being broadcast 24-hours a day via
UHF and over 75 cable stations in the Los Angeles area. Representatives from each
department and agency involved in the ongoing disaster operations appear on this channel to
discuss progress being made on disaster operations, communicate how well the Federal/State
effort is going, and to provide emergency information to disaster victims. FEMA has recently
arranged to have television monitors installed at each shelter and DAC to bring The Recovery
Channel directly to disaster victims in both English and Spanish languages.
During a meeting with the State. the Los Angeles Unified School District, and the Department
of Education, FEMA agreed that it will be responsible for addressing the repair or rebuilding
of schools (and the provision of modular classrooms, if necessary).
FEMA's Crisis Counseling program is providing funding for L.A. County Mental Health
agencies to meet immediate student mental health needs.
FEMA is sending personnel into affected communities to explain Federal disaster assistance
programs and inform disaster victims and community leaders how they may apply and access
Federal aid. FEMA and other Federal agencies are utilizing many Federal, State and local
personnel who are bilingual to support these outreach activities.

NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE SITUATION UPDATE
More than 2,500 aftershocks have already been recorded. They are
following a very normal pattern for California earthquakes, but
compared to the average sequence, the Northridge aftershocks are
a bit more energetic and are also decaying a bit more quickly
than average. The probability of magnitude five aftershocks in
the next week is about 1 in 5. If this rate continues, we can
expect to record 1 more earthquake of magnitude 5 or greater in
the next 12 months. One or 2 more aftershocks of magnitude 4.5
or greater are expected in the next week.
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Sid Thompson
indicated in a press conference yesterday that 759 schools within
the District will be opening today. Seventy-six will remain
closed. Of those, approximately 50 remain closed because of
utility damage.
Efforts continue to be taken to encourage disaster victims to
move into shelters and to find temporary housing in order to
mitigate the affects of inclement weather affecting the area.
WEATHER FORECAST
The National Weather Service in Riverside, CA, reports that a
slow moving storm system off the Northern California coast will
move another cold front into Southern California, bringing a
chance of light rain to earthquake-impacted areas. Scattered
showers may arrive this morning in the Los Angeles basin, Orange
County, and southland valleys and canyons.

Clinics has been deployed to serve public needs. Two additional
VA Mobile Health Clinics arrived yesterday at March AFB. The
West Los Angeles Veteran's Administration (VA) Medical Center
outpatient clinic will provide personnel and staff and support
for the mobile clinics. The IN-2, Fort Wayne, and FL-1,
Pensacola, DMATs are scheduled to deploy to March AFB on January
26 and 28 respectively. The OH-1, Toledo, and OK-1, Oklahoma,
DMATs are on alert for future deployments.
DMATs have begun providing services on a 24-hour basis. Affected
health centers in the impacted area are slowly becoming
operational. The demand for direct medical care is expected to
slowly diminish as normal services are restored. VA nurses will
be deployed today to support FEMA at selected DACs.
ERT ESF-8 met with the California Department of Health Services
and the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services to
develop a plan to provide primary health services to displaced
persons camping in Los Angeles County parks. The Los Angeles
County Department of Public Health will direct the overall task
force, composed of local, county, State, and Federal assets. Ten
mobile clinics (8 Los Angeles County/State and 2 VA) will be
deployed to the areas of greatest need to provide health services
to displaced persons. A DMAT staged out of Mid-Valley Community
Health Center will provide medical personnel support to assist in
the outreach surveillance program and will be assigned geographic
areas.
Mid-Valley Community Health Center will provide medical personnel
support to assist in the outreach surveillance program and will
be assigned geographic areas. These teams will provide support
to parks, Red Cross shelters, and side-street enclaves. DMATs
already operating in fixed locations will receive and provide
more definitive medical services to patients triaged and referred
by the outreach program.
ESF-8 has received immediate health and medical mission
assignments currently totalling over $3.1 million. Particular
emphasis is being given to the support of mental health needs.
Two large disaster trailers, 1 suburban mobile medical support
unit (MSU), to assist in outreach operations, and a DRASH
(deployable hospital) are being prepared for deployment to March
AFB.
Dr. David Satcher, Director of the Center for Disease Control
(CDC) was briefed on January 23 by CDC epidemiologists, county
health officials, and on-site personnel. He also visited the
DFO. Public health surveillance of conditions following the
earthquake are being conducted by CDC in support of local and
State health officials.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
IMPACT AID
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
The Department is requesting an additional $165 million.
These funds are for grants to help school districts meet
increased operating costs resulting from the earthquake and
to compensate for reduced local revenue directly related to
the disaster.
The Department has released 'seven million in existing Impact
Aid disaster funds for the Los Angeles Unified School
District.
The grant monies may be used for a variety of expenses, such
as: transportation costs, additional food service costs,
extended day programs, additional counsellors, and
compensation for lost local school revenues resulting from
lowered property tax assessments related to the earthquake.
PROGRAM SUMMARY
School districts in any of the counties in the
Presidentially declared disaster area should apply to the
Department for grants. Applicants must provide
documentation of the extra operating costs associated with
the earthquake.

LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE FACT SHEET
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (PELL GRANTS)
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
The Department is requesting $80 million for the Federal
Pell Grant program.
Student aid funds, in general, are used to pay for allowable
costs of postsecondary education, including tuition, fees,
books, school supplies, and living expenses. This proposal
would provide emergency relief to help meet the additional
financial needs of postsecondary students during academic
years 1993-1994 and 1994-1995. This proposal responds to
such problems as losses in family assets and income from the
effects of the recent California earthquakes.
PROGRAM SUMMARY
Applicants must provide documentation of their increased
need associated with the earthquake.

LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE FACT SHEET
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
$150 million is requested for rental assistance programs in
HUD. These funds provide rent subsidies in the form of
vouchers for up to 10,000 dislocated families for private
apartments for up to 18 months.
HUD will release funds from its emergency reserve to provide
immediate rental assistance for victims of the earthquake.
The request will supplement those emergency funds advanced
by HUD.
The rental assistance funds will be distributed to the local
Public Housing Authority. Victims can apply for such rental
assistance at the FEMA Disaster Assistance Centers or at
their local Public Housing Agency.
PROGRAM SUMMARY
Funds are provided through Public Housing Agencies to
victims of the earthquake with incomes at or below 50
percent of the local median income ($24, 150 for a family of
four in the city of Los Angeles-Long Beach primary
metropolitan statistical area).

LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE FACT SHEET
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
FLEXIBLE SUBSIDY PROGRAM
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
HUD requests $100 million for the Flexible Subsidy program.
The supplemental will be used to finance the repair and
reconstruction of federally insured and/or assisted
multifamily housing damaged in the earthquake.
PROGRAM SUMMARY
Flexible Subsidy comes in two forms, depending on its
purpose:
:
One form is a "soft direct loan, " which is a
non-amortizing, subordinate loan charging 1 percent
interest and not payable until the property is sold or
the mortgage matures. This type of "loan" is used to
correct deferred maintenance problems or accrued
operating deficits (e.g., unpaid taxes and utilities).
--
The second is in the form of a "below-market rate
direct loan, which is amortizing and usually charges
3-6 percent interest. This type of loan is used to
make capital improvements to benefit the health and
safety of project residents.
The program is used nationwide by HUD to return
distressed, privately owned low income housing to
decent physical condition and economic viability.

HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS (CDBG)
HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (HOME)
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
$250 million is requested for the CDBG and HOME programs.
HUD has already provided affected areas with approximately
$238 million in CDBG and HOME funds by making an early
distribution of funds due those jurisdictions by formula
this fiscal year. The $250 million requested will be in
addition to these previously released funds.
PROGRAM SUMMARY
CDBG funds can be used for a range of infrastructure,
housing, and service needs in areas affected by the
earthquake. Supplemental funds could be used for all
eligible CDBG activities except activities reimbursable by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small
Business Administration (SBA).
HOME funds can be used for a range of housing needs in areas
affected by the earthquake, including replacement and
rehabilitation of housing damaged by the earthquake.
Supplemental funds could be used for all eligible HOME
activities except activities reimbursable by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business
Administration (SBA).

LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE FACT SHEET
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAM
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
A total of $1,391 million is requested for highways, of
which $400 million is requested as a contingency.
The Department currently has $91 million available for use
in emergency repairs related to the earthquake, of which $41
million has already been allocated to California.
The funds will be used to clear debris from the earthquake,
restore essential traffic operations, provide for emergency
traffic operations, and repair damage to Federal-aid highway
roads and bridges, including the nine major structures that
were severely damaged by the earthquake.
Funds for the Emergency Relief Program of the Federal
Highway Administration have been fully allocated.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Emergency Relief (ER) program provides assistance to
States and local highway agencies to repair damages from
natural disasters or catastrophic failures. ER funds are
available to repair roads and bridges that are normally
eligible for Federal funding under the Federal-aid highway
program. Roads ineligible for ER assistance are eligible
for assistance from the FEMA.
The Federal share of eligible costs for the emergency repair
work to restore essential traffic services accomplished in
the first 180 days is 100 percent. For all other work, the
Federal share is determined by the statutory matching share
applicable to the Federal-aid highway facility damaged. In
the case of California, that would be 91.57 percent for
Interstate facilities and 88.53 for other Federal-aid
highway facilities.
Given the extent of the damage, the Administration proposes
to exempt highway repairs associated with the earthquake
from the statutory cap of $100 million per disaster. A
similar exemption was provided for highway repairs for the
Loma Prieta earthquake.
1/25/94
6-
LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE FACT SHEET
FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
FEMA is requesting $3.484 billion in Disaster Relief
appropriations and $15 million in Emergency Management
Planning and Assistance (EMPA) resources. The latter will
fund earthquake research activities in conjunction with
other agencies (e.g., NIST, NSF, USGS).
The Disaster Relief request is in addition to $143 million
in contingent emergency appropriations already released, and
$265 million in contingent appropriations to be released
shortly. Total FEMA Disaster Assistance for the earthquake
would be $3,892 billion.
Disaster Relief funds will be used to respond to emergency
needs of individuals and families (including temporary
housing and crisis counseling) and for repair of public
facilities. Public facilities include schools, non-Federal
aid roads, public water systems, government buildings, and
eligible private non-profit structures. Funds will also be
used to support about $400 million in hazard mitigation
activities; those projects that will reduce future disaster
liability. This allocation to mitigation activities is
required by a statutory formula.
EMPA resources ($15 million) will be used to increase
scientific understanding of the effect of earthquakes on
public infrastructure by studying this disaster.
PROGRAM SUMMARY
Disaster housing assistance (funds for rent, and minor home
repairs) are funded completely by the Federal government and
are provided directly to recipients. Individual and Family
Grants (funds for repair/replacement of lost or damaged
property) are cost shared on a 75 percent Federal/25 percent
State basis, which is not waivable under the statute.
Crisis counseling services are also funded at 100 percent by
the Federal government.
Public assistance is generally cost shared at 75 percent
Federal/25 percent State basis but will be adjusted for
California to a 90 percent Federal/10 percent State formula.
The extent of the damage will exceed the threshold used to
determine cost share formulas for past disasters ($64 in
damage per state resident).

LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE FACT SHEET
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
DISASTER LOANS
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
SBA requests $163 million to support an additional $559
million in disaster loans and $35 million for disaster loan
processing. These low-interest loans would be made
primarily to homeowners, renters and business owners to aid
in their recovery from uninsured losses.
In addition, funds supporting $391 million in loans and $50
million for disaster loan processing has already been
released.
Including contingency funds previously released, SBA's
resources will support $950 million in loans.
PROGRAM SUMMARY
This program provides direct loans to homeowners, renters,
and businesses to repair or replace damage to real property
to its pre-disaster condition. Businesses of any size are
eligible, as are non-profit organizations. Also, economic
injury disaster loans (EIDLs) are available for working
capital to small businesses and small agricultural
cooperatives.
All potential applicants should first register with FEMA at
the nearest Disaster Application Center (DAC). FEMA refers
victims with incomes above minimum thresholds to SBA for
possible loan assistance. All business victims and self-
employed homeowners or renters are referred to SBA.
SBA conducts interviews to explain the disaster loan program
and the application process and forms. SBA provides local
workshops where disaster victims can get help in completing
the loan application forms and obtaining the necessary
supporting documentation (such as copies of tax returns).
Loan applications can be submitted by mail or in person.

LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE FACT SHEET
PRESIDENTIAL CONTINGENCIES
SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST
$400 million is requested for contingencies to address a
variety of programmatic needs. These include program
requirements tentatively identified in the Departments of
Commerce, Veterans Administration, Labor and Health and
Human Services.
These monies would'l be allocated to various departments based
on an assessment of needs. The process would mirror that
used for the Loma Prieta earthquake, when Congress
appropriated $250 million for the President to transfer to
"any Federal governmental activity to meet the requirements
of the [recent] natural disasters."
Potential Commerce needs include disaster assistance
funding, a regional infrastructure bank to capitalize a
source of loans for infrastructure repair and rehabilitation
not otherwise funded, and telecommuting pilot programs.
Other potential requirements include increased agency
staffing needs to process disaster assistance expeditiously
while guarding against fraud, additional Community
Development Block Grant funds, and repair to Veterans
Administration facilities.

II.
BACKGROUND
The National Earthquake Information Center reported 48 earthquake events in the San
Fernando Valley from the 6.6 magnitude shook from 4:31 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST,
Monday, January 17. There have been thirty-three confirmed fatalities. The epicenter
occurred at Northridge in the San Fernando Valley, approximately 20 miles northwest of
downtown Los Angeles. You declared a major disaster for the State of California at
5:00 p.m. that evening.
The majority of reported physical damage is in northern Los Angeles and southern
Ventura Counties. Utility outages and overloads occurred throughout the area, 450,000
people are without electricity and 50,000 are without water. Much of the power gird
should be restored within the next 24 hours.
Damage assessments by State and local agencies are continuing. There is substantial
disruption to the highway network due to downed overpasses and elevated freeway
sections. There are reports of widespread damage to water systems, particularly in the
northern San Fernando and Simi Valley areas. Building collapses have occurred in Los
Angeles and Ventura Counties. Numerous fires were reported, but are under control.
In Los Angeles County, 5 hospitals have been totally evacuated, 1 has been partially
evacuated, and 3 others are only accepting walk-in patients. Ten other hospitals are
damaged, but still functional. All Ventura County hospitals are on emergency power.
Local utilities report 400,000 city and 750,00 suburban customers are without electricity.
Much of the outage resulted from circuit breakers tripping when the quake hit. Most
generating stations also shut down automatically, but were quickly brought back on line.
Neighboring utilities are sending extra work crews to assist with repairs.

Wilkie draft of 1/18/94 8:30 p.m.
The President of the United States
Tour of earthquake damage and visit to relief site
Northridge, California
January 19, 1994
This region of the country has taken all kinds of hits on the chin lately: this
earthquake; the fires, civil disturbances, flooding and persistent economic problems.
We've seen a terrible loss of life, of highways, of homes and irreplaceable personal
possessions. I have family out here, and many of the people who work in the White House
have families and homes out here, too. So, in a very personal way, we have been aware of
what people here are going through.
I'm very proud of the immediate, professional response by federal officials,
particularly FEMA Director James Lee Witt, Secretaries Henry Cisneros and F ederico
Pena, and Rodney Slater of the Federal Highway Administration. They wasted no time in
getting their agencies to respond so professionally, and I thank them for it.
If I could just step back from the damage for a moment, I would like to say that this
earthquake, which came on Martin Luther King Day, has brought out the best in people
here. Dr. King would have been proud to see so many people coming together -- across
lines of class and race and geography -- to answer each other's urgent needs in such caring
and responsive ways.
I'm profoundly impressed by the way in which the people of Los Angeles County
have risen to the occasion. They've shown an amazing degree of courage and calmness
through all of this, and nearly everyone has extended genuine courtesy to their neighbors and
all who remain homeless, in need of water, meals, and basic personal necessities.
I know Americans from all over the country want to pull together behind the people
of California just as we did for people in the midwest after the floods last summer. So, I
want to thank them in advance for supporting everything my administration will be doing out
here over the next long months to follow, as we help people pick up the pieces, rebuild, and
get on with daily life.
This emergency only doubles our resolve to see California back on its feet as soon as
possible. We're going to do everything we possibly can to make that happen. No
earthquake, fire, flood or unrest will keep us away. This administration will stand by
California for as long as it takes.

You may wish to state:
I am proud of the team effort here. The State and Local officials have
worked closely with FEMA and other Federal officials. Thanks to this
coordinated, effective, quick response many lives have been saved, a relative
state of order has existed since the earthquake, the injured have been treated
professionally, residents have had food and shelter."
Key Participants:
James Lee Witt, Dick Andrews (California Emergency Management
Director), Shirley Mattingly
2.
Transportation and Commerce
You may wish to state:
Freeways are the lifeline of this region. Damage to the freeways impact the
transportation, business and social fabric of the region. I have been here
many times. I have just witnessed the destruction and Secretary Pena, who
has been here since Monday, has briefed me on the significant impact on the
region.
Business throughout the region has been impacted. Even in areas where the
earthquakes direct impact was not felt, businesses will be adversely affected.
The Small Business Administration has already begun to process applications
for loans and grants.
Key Participants: Federico Pena, Rodney Slater, David Barram, Norm Mineta.
3.
Water and Public Safety
You may wish to state:
Many of you have had to boil your water. I understand your hardship. I
assure you that in the case of further water difficulties FEMA stands ready
to supply water. The People of the Midwest had similar water problems this
summer during the floods. Their perseverance and courage was
extraordinary and should serve as a model to you.
I commend the heroism of the police and fire departments. They, and other
public safety personnel, are a true credit to their communities.
Key Participants:
James Lee Witt and Dick Andrews
4.
Human Services
You may wish to state:
I have been extremely impressed by the response in the area of human
services: provision of shelter, medicine, psychological services. We are
striving to have everyone who needs a place to stay in the short term have a
safe place to spend the night. Medical teams are on alert from FEMA. Crisis
counseling will be provided by FEMA. The outpouring of volunteer support
in these critical areas has been exceptional. Many in the community have
lost loved ones, homes and businesses; things will never be the same. I am
particularly concerned about the children; many will have nightmares for a
long time. But the critical support services that are being provided will help
assuage some of the pain

OPENING REMARKS
EARTHQUAKE BRIEFING
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
1/19/94
* As we have seen and heard this morning, reaching out in a
calamity of this scope will require the best, coordinated,
efforts of governments, communities, and neighbors. That is why
our commitment to the people of Southern California began as soon
as the earthquake ended.
*
Within hours of the quake, the Director of FEMA, James
Lee Witt, left for California, as did senior White House staff at
my request. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Cisneros
arrived with Mr. Witt. Secretary of Transportation Pena and
Rodney Slater of the Federal Highway Administration arrived about
the same time.
* Within an hour of the quake FEMA began staffing their
emergency response team. They began working with HHS and other
federal agencies, and sent several Disaster Medical Teams as well
as Urban Search and Rescue teams to California, to be used if the
state needed them. Their efforts, in fact, have already been
completed.
*
Within hours emergency power assessments were conducted,
and water tankers were dispatched where needed. FEMA quickly
established an 800 number to serve as a Donation Hotline for
those who want to assist this community at this time, as well as
a second 800 number to receive requests for relief from
Californians harmed by this quake.
* All told, Federal agencies have mobilized 1500 personnel
in California, Washington, and at the Teleregistration Center in
Denton, Texas, to serve Southern Californians in their time of
need.
* The Presidential Disaster Declaration that I signed
Monday, at the request of Governor Wilson, has now set in motion
the full additional range of federal programs to assist
individual disaster victims, and to assist state and local
governments prepare the facilities that they need to handle this
situation.
* These include, among others: temporary housing
assistance, disaster unemployment assistance, individual grants
for those who cannot qualify for loans, reimbursement for debris
removal, and crisis counseling, from FEMA; low interest loans to
repair homes and businesses, and to replace damaged personal
property, from the SBA; Block Grants to be used at the states
direction, from HUD; various public funds to repair schools and
bridges and other infrastructure; and, of special importance to
Southern California, funds from the Department of Transforation
and the Federal Highway Administration to rebuild your fractured
freeways. Secretary Peña and Federal Highway Administrator
Rodney Slater are in Los Angeles in particular to assist in the
damage assessments of the freeways.
*
In a few days, we have done a great deal together. But
it is clear that this challenge will require the best efforts of
all of us.
*
That is why today I am taking the added step of
authorizing the release of substantial new, additional funds to
ensure that we have done enough to meet the needs of Southern
California.
-
Today I am releasing new Small Business Administration
monies. These funds will support $239 million in new
low-interest loans to help families and businesses in
the Los Angeles area recover and begin to rebuild.
-
I am also releasing today $45 million in new funds from
the Department of Transportation. These funds will
support debris removal and infrastructure repair in the
region. They should greatly accelerate the City's and
County's efforts to restore normal traffic, and get
this city moving again.
* Finally, we recognize that the costs of this disaster
will total in the billions of dollars, and that the recovery will
span months, if not years.
* I have discussed with Director Panetta of OMB, Senators
Boxer and Feinstein, and with Congressman Mineta the need to keep
up a strong base of financial support for Southern California
during this period.
* This brings me to my final announcement. I have decided,
assuming that as a result of this visit and others we get a good
fix on cost estimates, to work very closely with them and other
Members of Congress to pull together an emergency supplemental
appropriation. I will make a formal request for these funds
promptly after Congress returns on January 25th.
* I am sure Congress will do the right thing. And in the
days and months ahead, I am also sure we will all look back once
again and remark on the resiliency and courage of the people of
Southern California.
CLOSING REMARKS
EARTHQUAKE MEETING
LOS ANGELES, CA.
1/19/93
*
Southern Californians have struggled courageously for too
long against a sluggish economy, social unrest, and fires -- only
to be struck by this. But this is a land of optimism, and we are
prepared to face this together as partners. Without a doubt, we
will make our way through this.
*
This Administration is totally committed to doing
everything within our power to help Southern California -- with
food and housing and financial assistance and medical care. Our
response will continue to be very aggressive, highly coordinated,
and extremely prompt.
Finally, three additional points:
*
I would like to thank the media -- television and radio
and the newspapers -- for coordinating information and keeping
people in touch and providing the news and the communication that
all of us need, especially in the first moments and hours after
an event like this. You have done a great job and a great
service.
*
Second, the people of Southern California are hurting,
but they still remember what it means to be an American.
Volunteers have reached out, neighbors have supported neighbors,
total strangers have committed acts of quiet heroism to help
others in need. We can come together, and it should be lesson
for other times as well.
*
Lastly, today we are beginning a two-part process. One
part is short term disaster relief. The other is long term
economic recovery. Our goal is to be a good partner in both the
short term and the long term, because the effects of this tragedy
will be felt for a long time.
*
I would like to thank the Governor and the Mayor,
Senators Boxer and Feinstein, local officials, Members of the
delegation, and the remarkable emergency response people who have
gathered for this briefing. Together, we will help Southern
California get back on its feet.

SUBJECT:
Information on California Disasters
As per your request, I have prepared the following information about recent disasters in California in
support of your planned trip to the State in the wake of the Northridge earthquake.

North Ridge Earthquake
January 18, 1994, 5:00 p.m. EST
Damage assessments by State and local agencies are continuing. The majority of reported
physical damage is in northern Los Angeles and southern Ventura Counties. There is substantial
disruption to the highway network due to downed overpasses and elevated freeway sections.
There are reports of widespread damage to water systems, particularly in the northern San
Fernando and Simi Valley areas. Building collapses have occurred in Los Angeles and Ventura
Counties. Numerous fires were reported, but are under control.
Problems are anticipated related to the damaged highway network and shortages of potable water.
Search and rescue activities at collapsed apartment buildings and shopping malls are a major
concern. Restoration of the electrical system and continuation of emergency power to hospitals
and other critical facilities are also of concern. Short and long term shelter requirements still
need to be determined.
The number of deaths has now been reported as 34. Number of injuries is estimated at
approximately 1,825 (1,075 in Los Angeles County, 750 in Ventura County).
STATUS OF DECLARATION
The President signed a Presidential Disaster Declaration at 5:08 p.m. EST, January 17, 1994.
The declaration provides 100 percent funding for direct federal assistance costs for emergency
work for the first 72 hours. Los Angeles County is the only county included in the declaration
at this time. The declaration number assigned is DR-1008. Frank Kishton has been designated
as the Federal Coordinating Officer.

emergency power assessments for possible forward deployment of military and/or
commercial generators.
The Army Corps of Engineers, in cooperation with the Bottled Water Association, has
set up four distribution sites for water in the San Fernando Valley. The Corps has

Summary of the California Wildfires
BACKGROUND
Beginning on October 26, 1994, five wildfires were reported in the hills of southern and central
California. These fires quickly spread, driven by hot and dry winds that gusted as high as 90 miles
per hour. Over the next nine days, an additional 16 wildfires were reported to be burning out of
control, destroying thousands of acres each hour. On October 28, Governor Pete Wilson requested a
Presidential disaster declaration for the State of California to permit the use of Federal resources to
supplement State and local firefighting efforts, and to bring needed assistance to disaster victims in the
affected areas. President Clinton declared a major disaster for the State (designating Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, and San Bernardino Counties for both Individual and Public
Assistance) later that same day.
Beginning November 10, rains began to fall over the disaster area, causing severe erosion, mudflows,
and landslides. These events further exacerbated the damages and hardship caused by the fires by
destroying three homes, causing damage to over two dozen others, and blocking both major and minor
roadways. On November 12, the State forwarded a request to have the disaster declaration amended
to include erosion, mudflows, and landslides occurring within the affected areas as a direct result of
the wildfires. On November 19, the amendments to the disaster declaration were approved.
During the response and recovery phases of this operation, the Federal government took numerous
actions to bring assistance to the fire area. The U.S. Forest Service, in coordination with State and
local authorities, established a Geographic Area Coordination Center (GACC) in Riverside to handle
all requests for firefighting equipment and personnel from outside California. Through the GACC, the
Forest Service mobilized 9,000 Federal and non-Federal firefighters, 52 aircraft (for transport or
water/retardent bombing), catering facilities, and life support for fire operations in order to assist State
and local officials. The Department of Defense provided numerous aircraft and logistical support.
And in the wake of this disaster, the Small Business Administration has made available millions of
dollars in low-interest disaster loans to victims and businesses in the disaster area, and FEMA has
provided grants to eligible individuals and families suffering fire losses, disaster housing assistance,
crisis counseling assistance, disaster unemployment benefits, and financial assistance to State and local
authorities for the repair of public buildings and critical infrastructure.
FEMA Director James L. Witt traveled to California with Senators Boxer and Feinstein on October
28-29 to meet with State officials and coordinate the Federal response effort with State and local
activities. He returned again on November 2-4 to tour the disaster area and evaluate ongoing response
operations.
FEDERAL DISASTER INFORMATION
FEMA expects that a total of $98 million will be necessary out of the Disaster Relief Fund
($80 million of which are for Public Assistance costs). As of January 18, 1994, FEMA has
allocated $54.16 million from the Fund to address damages caused by this disaster.
FEMA opened a total of 6 Disaster Application Centers (DACs) in the State in the wake of the
disaster. These DACs and the National Teleregistration Center in Denton, Texas, have
accepted 2,470 registrations for Federal assistance from fire victims.
Total public and private costs for this disaster are estimated at $1 billion.
A total of 1,241 structures were destroyed in the fires.
There were 162 injuries and 3 fatalities associated with this disaster.
Over 197,000 acres of land were impacted by the California Wildfires, with greatest land
losses in Ventura and Riverside Counties (66,302 acres and 61,664 acres, respectively).
Summary of the Fires Due to Civil Unrest
BACKGROUND
On April 29, 1992, civil disturbances related to the acquittal verdicts in the Rodney King case turned
violent with fires set, businesses looted, people beaten, and loss of life. The violence occurred in
various locations throughout South Central Los Angeles. On April 30, Governor Pete Wilson declared
a state of emergency and executed the State Emergency Plan. A dusk to dawn curfew was imposed
for the entire city of Los Angeles. The violence continued throughout the day and evening of April
30. The California Highway Patrol and the National Guard were called to assist city and county law
enforcement personnel restore order and protect firefighting personnel. On the evening of May 1,
former President George Bush announced that selected units of the California National Guard had been
Federalized and directed members of the U.S. armed forces to assist in restoring order.
A major disaster declaration was requested by Governor Wilson on May 1 to provide Individual
Assistance and Public Assistance. As requested by the Governor, former President George Bush
declared the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County a major disaster on May 2, 1992. This
declaration made Federal funding available to affected individuals and local governments.
In response to this disaster, the Department of Defense provided active duty military personnel,
federalized National Guard forces to provide law enforcement assistance. The Department of Justice
also provided law enforcement through the use of its Marshalls Service. The Public Health Service
provided crisis counseling to riot victims and members of the community. The General Services
Administration provided office space and established telecommunications for Federal departments and
agencies active in the response operations. And FEMA and the Small Business Administration had the
primary role in providing recovery assistance. FEMA opened up Disaster Application Centers
(utilizing staff fluent not only in English, but also Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, Thai,
French and Lao) throughout the affected area, and provided millions of dollars worth of assistance in
the form of grants to eligible individuals and families, temporary housing, disaster unemployment, and
financial assistance to State and local entities for repairs to public buildings and infrastructure. The
Small Business Administration provided many tens of millions of dollars to individuals and families in
low-interest loans.
FEDERAL DISASTER INFORMATION
Approximately 46 deaths and 1,984 injuries were directly attributed to this event. Among the
injured were 12 members of the Los Angeles Police Department, 13 members from the
Sheriff's Department, 3 officers from other jurisdictions working under mutual aid, and 10
firefighters.
A total of 12 Disaster Application Centers (DACs) were opened to register and process disaster
victims for Federal assistance. Nearly 15,000 registrations for assistance were accepted.
Over 1,800 structure fires throughout the city destroyed or severely damaged several hundred
businesses. Approximately 1,750 firefighters were called to duty. Many apartment buildings
and single family homes were also destroyed.
Current obligations for this disaster total $160 million. We project total Federal funding for
this disaster at $170 million. Of this, $106 million represents Public Assistance.
CASTRO, et al. V. FEMA--THE L.A. LAWSUIT
Current Status
On September 7, 1993, FEMA filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, arguing that
the appropriate legislation grants FEMA a great deal of necessary discretion in
administering disaster relief assistance. Based on FEMA's authorizing legislation, the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, FEMA argued that
the court has no jurisdiction to decide the case.
Instead of ruling on FEMA's motion to dismiss, Judge J. Spenser Letts, of the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California, requested on October 4, 1993 that
both sides work together to resolve the issues by trying to draw up a settlement
agreement. He gave the parties until February 10, 1994 to report to him regarding the
outcome of negotiations.
Regarding settlement conferences, FEMA is always interested in learning of and
implementing new ideas to improve disaster services.
FEMA has and continues to commit a lot of time to the settlement process.
The two groups have worked together by phone, by face-to-face conferences, and have
exchanged numerous documents and correspondence.
The next phone conference is scheduled to take place within several weeks.
Background
On June 16, 1993, Proskauer, Rose, Goetz and Mendelsohn, a large L.A. law firm
and eight public interest law groups specializing in issues of housing, poverty, and
minorities, filed the suit Castro, et al. V. FEMA, in federal district court in Los
Angeles.
The suit was filed on behalf of fifteen victims of Hurricane Iniki and ten victims of the
L.A. riots.
The plaintiffs filed a motion requesting the court to certify the plaintiffs' suit as a class
action, i.e., the plaintiffs would like to include other similar victims in the suit who
are too numerous for them to name.
Plaintiff's Allegations
The plaintiffs allege that FEMA failed to disseminate information adequately regarding
disaster assistance.
FEMA allegedly failed to coordinate provision of disaster assistance with regard to
food stamps and the Small Business Administration.
FEMA allegedly delayed and failed to provide benefits to eligible disaster victims.
FEMA allegedly discriminated in the provision of disaster assistance.
The Department of Agriculture allegedly failed to promulgate regulations for the food
stamp program.
FEMA allegedly failed to promulgate and implement its regulations in a legal manner.
FEMA's Defenses
On September 7, 1993, FEMA filed a motion to dismiss the complaint based on
FEMA's authorizing legislation, the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (the "Act"). Pursuant to the Act, FEMA has discretion to administer
the disaster relief programs in the best way it sees fit. Each disaster is different and
brings with it a stylized set of demands, unique problems, different victim
circumstances and needs, and different geography, concerns, and resources. The
Stafford Act shields FEMA's discretionary disaster decision making from litigation.
Congress clearly intended to protect FEMA from the burdens of disaster-relief
litigation (particularly in light of the need for FEMA to focus its attention and
resources on current and more pressing needs such as the North Ridge Earthquake, the
Midwest floods, and the California fires). The Act was intended to protect FEMA
from the disruptions that might attend judicial second guessing of decisions that must,
by definition, be made extremely quickly and under exigent conditions where
confusion and incomplete information are likely to be the rule.
Summary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake
BACKGROUND
At approximately 8 p.m. EDT, October 17, 1989, an earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter Scale
occurred 10 miles north of Santa Cruz, along the San Andreas Fault. The temblor came in the midst
of rush hour traffic. Communications were sporadic and most available information came from
television news coverage. Extensive damage was identified to San Francisco City Hall, Stanford
University and Watsonville Community Hospital. Sections of Interstate 880 collapsed.
Lt. Governor Leo McCarthy (Acting Governor) proclaimed a state of emergency at 3 am EDT on
October 18, 1989. Lt. Governor McCarthy requested a major disaster declaration, which was signed
by former President George Bush also on this same date. This declaration made Individual and Public
Assistance available to the city and county of San Francisco, and the counties of Alameda, Monterey,
San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz. Contra Costa, Marin, and Solano Counties and
the cities of Isleton and Tracy were later designated to receive the same assistance.
In response to this disaster, many Federal agencies and departments provided assistance under the
Federal Response Plan. The Department of Defense provided military transports, technical assistance
to State and local governments, and structural engineers for building assessments and inspections. The
Department of Education provided assistance to rebuild and repair schools in the region. The
Department of Transportation provided funding to the State and local governments for road, bridge
and airport repairs, technical assistance teams, and equipment to assist with clearing debris-removal
and repair of area transportation infrastructure. Provision of office space, supplies and
telecommunications was accomplished by the General Services Administration. The American Red
Cross opened up dozens of shelters throughout the affected area to provide short-term shelter and food
to disaster victims. In the immediate response and recovery, the Small Business Administration
provided many millions of dollars worth of low-interest loans to individuals and businesses affected by
the earthquake. FEMA also accepted applications from victims at area Disaster Application Centers
(DACs), and provided assistance in the form of grants to eligible individuals and families, temporary
housing, disaster unemployment, and financial assistance to State and local entities for repairs to
public buildings and infrastructure.
FEDERAL DISASTER INFORMATION
FEMA projects the total Federal (Stafford Act) cost of this event to reach $636 million.
Approximately $426 million represents Public Assistance costs. As of January 7, 1994, $546
million has been obligated from the President's Disaster Relief Fund.
The State of California requested a cost share adjustment for the Loma Prieta Earthquake. The
request was denied April 30, 1993.
Nearly 40,000 applications for Federal disaster assistance were taken in the wake of this
disaster.
Many Stanford University buildings suffered damage as a result of this earthquake. Honest
differences between different engineers have resulted in delays in the determination of what
work is eligible for FEMA funding. Recently, Stanford's engineering consultant met with
FEMA's engineers and worked out an agreement on eligible work and costs for the Green
Library. The paperwork to obligate the additional funds to the State will be completed in the
near future.
The City Hall in San Francisco was damaged by the earthquake. The City feels that a building
code was triggered, requiring a full seismic upgrade of the structure. FEMA believes that a
seismic upgrade is not required by code and is not cost-effective (a different repair project
costing an estimated $20-$40 million may prove more cost-effective). Director Witt has
convened a group of senior FEMA representatives to examine and help resolve this issue. This
group will meet the week of January 24 in San Francisco to further examine issues associated
with seismic retrofitting of this building.

WAIVER OF FEMA 25% LOCAL MATCH ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
Q: The Administration reduced the standard 25-percent
State/local match for FEMA public assistance disaster relief
funds to a 10-percent local match for the Midwest floods. Will
you do the same for this California earthquake?
A: We worked hard to achieve a consensus during the legislative
debate on the flood, and we need to be consistent. All our
citizens need to know that the Federal government will not only
move quickly to provide help in such emergencies, but will also
ensure that such help is provided fairly according to the same
rules.
The decision to reduce the 25-percent local match is based
primarily upon the severity of the disaster relative to the
fiscal capacity of the State and local governments, or on the
economic impact of the disaster in relation to the economy of the
nation as a whole.
We can't tell whether an adjustment in the match is called
for until we have better numbers from the joint Federal-State
damage assessment teams. But we will be fair, and we will move
quickly.
[There was also a complicated adjustment in the USDA match under
the CCC program. That will not be relevant in this disaster.]

Possible Questions and Answers on Los Angeles Earthquake
Question: How has the seismic retrofitting program for California bridges
evolved and what is its current status?
Answer: The February 9, 1971 San Fernando Earthquake prompted California to
evaluate both its current design practices and the need to retrofit existing
bridges. Using the results of new research and evaluation of the current
world-wide knowledge of bridge performance during seismic events, the
California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) identified vulnerable
elements of existing bridges and the need to provide for greater ductility and
seismic resistance for existing bridges. As a result, they embarked upon a
systematic program to priority rank and retrofit existing bridges along with
upgrading their design criteria for new bridges. The initial phase of the
CALTRANS program was to install hinge and joint restraints to prevent deck
joints from separating. This was judged by CALTRANS engineers and their
researchers to be the most cost-effective initial retrofit action to take.
All 1260 California bridges judged as needing restrainers were retrofitted by
1990.
The hinge and joint restrainers have performed well but shear and ductility
failure of columns such as occurred in Los Angeles at I-605/I-5 during the
moderate 1987 Whittier Earthquake emphasized the inadequacies of pre-1971
column designs. Research begun earlier was given further impetus by the
Whittier Quake.
The 1989 Loma Prieta proved the reliability of previously installed
restrainers but the Cypress Avenue (I-440) viaduct failure in San Francisco
brought additional emphasis to the need for column retrofit. The California
legislature and CALTRANS decisionmakers made additional funds available for
both research and retrofit. CALTRANS began a $750 million bridge retrofit
program with this new funding authority.
All structures were priority ranked based upon a systematic evaluation of
their relative seismic hazard and vulnerability and their importance as
emergency and transportation routes. A three phase program was followed:
1) Install hinge and joint restrainers. This work was completed in 1990
at a total cost of $55 million.
2) Single column structures, judged to be the most vulnerable
structures, are generally given higher priority for retrofit. As of
early 1993, column retrofit was either complete, under construction or
design completed and advertising scheduled for 255 of the 262 bridges
identified as requiring single column retrofit. As of January 1994, 90
percent of this $116 million program has been completed.
3) Multiple column structures requiring retrofit are considered lesser
priority than single column bridges but they have been priority ranked
and a program begun. Of the nearly 2400 bridges evaluated or under
evaluation in this program, about 160 have been designed, scheduled or
retrofitted as of 1994. Current estimates are that about $1300 million
would be required to completely retrofit all of the 550 bridges judged
JAN 18 '94 07:11PM DOT OFC OF SECRETARY
P.10/11
to need multiple column retrofit in order to meet current CALTRANS
Seismic Safety criteria.
Six of the eight structures which failed during the January 17, 1994 event
were scheduled for retrofit in 1994. Two had been screened out as not needing
retrofit because they were not close to a known fault. The 1994 earthquake
epicenter occurred at a previously unknown fault.
Extensive research in California and elsewhere is continuing and new knowledge
and lessons learned from each seismic event will be applied to the CALTRANS
retrofit program on a continuing basis.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
Lorraine Miller
SUBJECT: House Members and the California Earthquake
I.
SUMMARY
You will be meeting with members of the California
delegation whose districts have been affected by the
earthquake. Additionally, members representing the greater
Los Angeles area have also invited. Members want
information and you can expect a good turn out.
II.
DISCUSSION
According to FEMA, the members most affected by the
earthquake are Reps. Anthony Beilenson, (D) 24th, Howard P.
(Buck) McKeon (R) 25th, Howard L. Berman (D) 26th and Julian
Dixon, (D) 32nd.
Beilenson, a nine termer, claims a tough re-election bid
this year and is particularly interested in being seen by
his constituents as being actively involved in earthquake
recovery. He is disappointed that you will not visit a site
in his district, but understands you do not want to make
your visit disruptive.
Howard (Buck) McKeon, is a first termer. McKeon has two of
the most widely reported areas of impact in his district,
Northridge and Granada Hills. McKeon is concerned about San
Creta, a city of some 140 -150 thousands persons just north
west of Northridge, has not received it's just media
attention nor support from FEMA and the Red Cross. McKeon
has expressed concern about the interchange of highways 5
and 14. These two highways are essential to the free flow
of traffic and major commercial routes. Your viewing of the
interchange of highways 118 and 405 are in McKeon's
district.
page 2
Rep. Howard Berman, a six termer, has raised concern about
the number of people he is seeing that are not staying in
shelter. It's his feeling that people fear the structural
damage of their homes and apartment buildings a simply
refuse to go in them. As a result of building fear, people
are choosing to sleep in the parks where there may/may not
have services available. Emergency housing is becoming a
major concern for his people.
Rep. Julian Dixon, an eight termer, reports major damage to
the Santa Monica Freeway that runs east-west through the
center of his district. He has nine community areas that
have major residential and commercial damage. Housing is
becoming a major issue of his people also.
Attached is a listing of Members affected, other members
from the greater Los Angeles area invited and their

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE SITUATION
Estimated losses:
There are no reliable estimates of either the total or insurable
damage in the Los Angeles quake. The Insurance Information
Institute says that the earthquake is "similar to" the San
Francisco quake, in both intensity and the types of areas hit.
In the San Francisco quake, there was about $7 billion of total
damage, and insurance payments were about $960 million. A large
portion of the uninsured amount was damage to highways and other
infrastructure, which governments self-insure. (In comparison,
Hurricane Andrew generated $16 billion of insurance payments.)
What does insurance cover?
Almost all homeowners carry homeowner's insurance. It covers
fire and water damage, no matter what the cause. Therefore,
homes destroyed by fires caused by the earthquake will be covered
under the regular homeowner's policy.
Under California law, all insurers must offer earthquake coverage
to homeowners, but it is not part of the regular homeowner's
policy. Earthquake insurance in California costs about $1 per
$1,000 insured, and has a 10% deductible. In other words, on a
$200,000 house (modest for California), a policy would cost $200
a year, and would only pay for claims over $20,000. Prices are
higher in the areas most at risk, ranging up to $6 per $1,000.
Earthquake insurance covers claims for damages caused directly by
the quake, such as structural damage, broken windows, or
collapsed roofs and walls.
Many automobile owners carry comprehensive auto insurance, which
covers damage to the car from whatever source, including
earthquakes. Some businesses carry property insurance that
covers fire and water damage, and business interruption insurance
that covers loss of revenues. However, many small businesses are
probably not covered at all and many businesses whose property is
covered for fire and water damage are probably not covered for
earthquake damage.
Who has insurance?
About 15 to 25 percent of Californians carry earthquake insurance
on their homes. However, the number is said to be as high as 40%
in high risk areas, such as the San Fernando Valley. State Farm,
which has about 25% of the California homeowner's market, says
about 40% of its policyholders have earthquake insurance.
Allstate, with 15% of the market, says about 30% of its
policyholders are covered. (Similar estimates are not available
for business coverage.)
- 2 -
What are the insurance companies doing?
The insurance companies are mobilizing claims agents from around
the country to go to Los Angeles. The Malibu office they jointly
opened to_help with claims from the fires has been redirected to
help earthquake victims.
Why isn't there more coverage?
The price of homeowner's insurance in California is apparently
deterring people from purchasing coverage. The insurance
industry asserts that too few people in too few states believe
they are really at risk for earthquakes, and therefore it is
impossible for the companies to spread the geographic risk
sufficiently to enable them to lower the price. Although parts
of Alaska, Hawaii, Washington state, Nevada, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Utah, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky are at
high risk for earthquakes, and parts of many other states are at
some risk, fewer than 5% of the homeowners in risk areas outside
California carry earthquake insurance.
Insurance companies also assert that current tax law makes it
difficult to build up reserves over time to cover catastrophic
events such as earthquakes. Therefore the price of insurance in
any one year is higher than it would be if risk could be more
efficiently spread out over time.
Coverage is also restricted by availability. While earthquake
insurance must be offered in California, that is not the case
elsewhere. Other disasters, most notably Hurricane Andrew, have
been followed by a withdrawal (or attempted withdrawal) by
insurance companies from all or a part of the market.
What can be done?
A coalition of organizations including insurance companies,
insurance agents, the AFL-CIO, realtors, lenders, state emergency
managers and fire-fighters, is sponsoring the Natural Disaster
Protection Act of 1993. This has been introduced in the Senate
as S. 1350 by Senator Inouye and has 13 cosponsors and in the
House as H.R. 2873 by Congressman Mineta with 62 cosponsors.
Hearings were held in the Senate last November and will be held
in the House on January 25.
The bills would:
O
encourage hazard mitigation through a program under
which FEMA would certify comprehensive state disaster
plans and states would be eligible for grants funded by
insurance premiums to develop and implement the plans;
- 3 -
require FEMA to establish premiums and deductibles for
earthquake and tsunami insurance (which is also
currently not widely available), which would be made
part of the standard homeowner's policy, with premiums
remitted to a federal trust fund which would be used to
cover claims from these perils; and
require FEMA to establish reinsurance premiums to cover
situations in which insured losses from a natural
disaster or series of natural disasters exceeded 15% of
the insurance industry's surplus in one 12-month period
(currently 15% equals about $24.5 billion), which
premiums would be paid by insurers to a separate
federal trust fund to build up for use when there is a
series of catastrophes.
The bills have been slowly building support. They present some
interesting ideas for solving both the coverage and availability
problems. On the other hand, there are difficult budget and tax
issues. We will be working with the coalition over the next
several weeks to develop an Administration position on the
legislation.

OCC OUTLINES RELIEF ON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE
Comptroller of the Currency Eugene A. I undwig announced today various Initiatives to assist
national banks and their customers affected by the earthquake in southern California.
The OCC's field office in Los Angeles will work with the national banks in the earthquake
area to explain and to provide the various forms of regulatory relief available to them.
These national banks will be told that, for branches destroyed or severely damaged, they
may establish temporary facilities without approval or authorization.
"Banks have a critical role to play in helping Los Angeles recover from this calamity," said
Comptroller Ludwiy. "We want to make sure that the regulatory system does not get in the
way of this critical effort."
The OCC will also issue a bulletin to encourage institutions to work constructively with
borrowers experiencing difficulties due to the earthquake. The OCC encourages national
banks to make efforts to assess the credit needs of businesses and communities affected by
the earthquake.
To help the affected communities, the OCC will advise in the bulletin that:
National banks may work with borrowers by extending terms of repayment or
restructuring borrowers' debt obligations:
National banks may seek to ease credit extension terms for new loans with certain
borrowers, consistent with prudent banking practices;
The OCC will take into account the unusual circumstances in dealing with any
increases in levels of delinquent and nonperforming loans caused by the earthquake;
The OCC will issue, under provisions of the Depository Institutions Disaster Relief Act
of 1992 (DIDRA), an order to waive real estate appraisal regulations for real estate
affected by the earthquake;
The OCC will grant temporary relief to eligible financial institutions from the capital
requirements when assets increase due to the Influx of Insurance proceeds or
government assistance.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM
Donsia Strong, DPC
SUBJECT
Federal Benefits to Illegal Immigrants
Throughout the community struck by the earthquake, California residents are camping
in public parks because their homes are too severely damaged to return to them. Like other
California residents, the homes of illegal immigrants have been damaged by the earthquake.
News reports have indicated recent immigrants are especially afraid of returning to their
apartments partly because of their experiences in earlier earthquakes that occurred in Mexico
as well as cultural differences in how one responds to a disaster.
No one has asked directly about whether illegal immigrants are eligible for disaster
benefits. However, because the disaster area designation provides federal benefits, questions
may arise as to what benefits may be provided to illegal immigrants and our rationale for
providing the benefits.
The only relevant federal benefits illegal immigrants are eligible for are:
Stafford Disaster Relief Act.
The Act prohibits discrimination based upon national origin.
Provides for federal disaster assistance during or because of a Presidential
declared disaster.
The assistance may take the form of (1) temporary housing assistance; or
(2) individual family grants of up to $11,000.
(Illegal immigrants are not eligible for unemployment assistance.)
Release may be attached.
Public Housing Assistance.
Because no HUD regulation existed barring illegal immigrants from receiving
public housing, in 1989, DOJ found that HUD could not bar illegal immigrants
from renting public housing. (In 1988, HUD proposed a regulation restricting
illegal immigrant's access to public housing; however, this regulation was never
finalized because then-Secretary Kemp did not want to offend the Latino
community and he believed such a regulation would add to the homeless
population.) The proposed regulation continues under review at HUD.
We do not believe that the potential for disaster relief in any way provides a magnet
for people to migrate to the U.S. It would be inhumane to deprive them of very basic
necessities in a disaster situation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Anheuser-Busch Donates $1 Million and Launches
Four-Point Program To Assist
Los Angeles Earthquake Victims
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 18, 1994 -- Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. today
announced that its charitable foundation will make an immediate cash donation of
$1 million to help victims of the Los Angeles earthquake. The company also
announced a follow-up four-point program to aid the community.
The financial donation will be made by the Anheuser-Busch Foundation to
the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army, the private organizations leading
the relief effort. Each will receive $500,000, with the money earmarked for the
counties hit hardest by yesterday's earthquake.
In addition to the donation, the four-point Anheuser-Busch LA earthquake
relief effort will include:
Production and distribution of fresh drinking water to help the tens of
thousands of Los Angeles area residents currently without a reliable
source of safe water. Water will be produced by the company's brewery
in Fairfield, CA and, as needed, by its brewery in Fort Collins, CO.

Donations of fresh bread and other food products produced by the
company's Rainbo and Earth Grains bakeries in Sacramento, Oakland,
Stockton and Fresno. These bakeries are operated by the company's
Campbell Taggart subsidiary.
Donations of clothing from the company's Promotional Products Group.
An expanded Operation Brightside clean-up program, administered
through local community groups, to undertake small-scale repair and
improvement projects in Los Angeles area neighborhoods damaged by the
earthquake. The company has supported this community improvement
program in Los Angeles for many years, employing community young
people to clean-up public areas in their neighborhoods and surrounding
areas.
The company will work closely with public officials and relief agencies in the
next several days to target this aid to people, organizations and areas most in need.
"The thoughts and concern of the 45,000 Anheuser-Busch employees go out
to the families and individuals who suffered losses in Monday's earthquake," said
August A. Busch III, chairman and president. "Anheuser-Busch has major
production and distribution facilities in California and thousands of employees who
were affected by the earthquake. We want to do all we can to help our friends and
neighbors at a time of great stress."
Anheuser-Busch has a long history of assisting victims of natural disasters
dating back at least to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. At that time, company
president Adolphus Busch was in San Francisco and arranged for the company to
send $100,000 to help with relief efforts.

In 1989, Anheuser-Busch and its charitable foundation provided major
funding and in-kind donations of water, food, clothing and clean-up programs to
assist in the recovery from the San Francisco earthquake.
Last summer, the Anheuser-Busch Foundation donated $500,000 to the
American Red Cross and Salvation Army for midwestern flood relief and produced
about 12 million cans of fresh drinking water for flood victims and relief workers.
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. is a diversified company whose
subsidiaries include Anheuser-Busch, Inc., the world's largest brewer; Campbell
Taggart, Inc., the nation's second largest producer of fresh baked goods; Eagle
Snacks, Inc.; and Busch Entertainment Corporation, which operates 10 family-
oriented theme parks. The company's California operations include two breweries,
in Van Nuys and Fairfield; an Eagle Snacks plant, in Visalia; Sea World of
California, in San Diego; and the four bakeries. The company employs nearly 8,000
people in California.
The company's brewery in Van Nuys sustained some damage in the
earthquake, but no injuries to employees or others at that site. The extent of the
damage is still being assessed, and it is not yet known when the brewery will resume
normal operations.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
Paul Deegan
National Economic Council
SUBJECT:
Background Information on the California Economy
This memorandum presents background information about current conditions and issues in
California. It addresses (i) issues of major concern in the state, and (ii) Administration programs
that will help the state.
I.
PRESSING ISSUES IN CALIFORNIA
Federal Reserve on the California Economy -- Economic weakness persists in
California. Manufacturing, construction, trade and financial sectors remain sluggish.
Sluggish conditions also persist in most real estate markets in southern California.
(Source: Federal Reserve, 12/8/93)
L.A. Businesses Hit Hard By Quake -- Corporations with major operations in the Valley
(such as Rockwell, Lockheed, Hughes Aircraft, 20th Century Insurance and Great Western
Bank) all remained closed on January 18. Home repair firms such as HomeBase are
reporting brisk business in plumbing and electrical supplies, flashlights, batteries,
generators and other items. (Source: UPI, 1/18/94)
Norton AFB -- On January 18, the Air Force signed a lease, transferring the airfield
portion of Norton AFB to the San Bernadino International Airport Authority (SBIAA).
The SBIAA will now begin work to create a passenger airport and business park at
Norton. Tuesday's action follows resolution of some thorny issues (a compromise was
reached accommodating the needs of local homeless providers) and marks a major step
forward for defense conversion in Southern California. The transfer is fully consistent
with the goals of your five-point plan to speed economic development when bases close
(announced by you on July 20).

Satellite Sales to China -- The Administration has taken a decision that will allow
Hughes to export the bulk of the $100 million dollar Los Angeles-built Apstar 2 satellite
for launch from China. We will soon be meeting with the Chinese to discuss our
concerns about proliferation, and if an agreement can be reached, we could lift sanctions
that would permit additional exports of Hughes satellites. (Source: NEC/NSC)
Hughes Aircraft Exporting to Mexico -- In 1991, the Mexican government signed a
$200 million contract with Hughes Aircraft to build two communications satellites (to be
used for voice, data, TV, facsimile transmission, etc.). Roughly 1,000 jobs in Southern
California are tied directly or indirectly to the program. The first launch is scheduled for
November. (Sources: USTR & Hughes Aircraft)
Erosion of the Manufacturing Base -- According to DoC, employment in manufacturing
fell from 2,259,000 in 1989 to 1,974,000 in 1992 -- a net loss of 285,000 jobs.
Net decline in total employment in manufacturing (California, 1989-1992):
- Transportation Equipment, excl. Motor Vehicles
(-67,000 jobs)
- Electronic Equipment, excl. Computer Equipment
(-52,000 jobs)
- Instruments and Related Products
(-38,000 jobs)
- Fabricated Metal Products
(-26,000 jobs)
LAX Landing Fees -- On July 1, LAX increased landing fees from $0.51 to $1.56 per
1,000 lbs of aircraft. The airlines argued that the increase was excessive, refused to pay,
and pursued remedies in court. On December 1, Secretary Pena convened representatives
of both the airlines and the airport. The 20 hours of mediation and negotiation that
followed over two days resulted in a binding agreement: the airlines will pay the higher
fees, including about $17 million in retroactive fees, under protest. The airlines will
continue to pursue judicial and administrative remedies. The airport promised not to use
these revenues for nonairport purposes. The airport will refund the monies as required
if litigation results in a finding that the charges are excessive. The city intends to seek
a change in federal law that bans diversion of airport revenues.
-3-
Export Controls -- Our relations with the high-tech community improved as a result of
actions to liberalize export controls on computers. In early November, 25 senior
Administration officials attended a high-tech summit in San Francisco. The response
from industry was positive. John Young and Regis McKenna have been asked to
organize follow-up activities. Vice President Gore recently gave a speech in Los Angeles
on the Information Super Highway which was well received.
Barclays Case -- The Solicitor General's office plans to file a brief in support of
California on Wednesday, January 19. At this time, it would be best simply to note that
the Administration plans to file in support of California, but to decline to comment
further.

Your Economic Growth Plan Will Create Jobs in California -- Treasury

1993-1996 -- 900% more than were created from 1989-1992.
THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY
National Economic Program
- The Clinton economic plan is projected to create 1.9 million jobs in California
from 1993-96.
- The FY94 budget includes tax incentives for business investment worth over $2.3
billion in California.
-
The firm commitment to deficit reduction has kept long-term interest rates at
their lowest level in decades, freeing billions of mortgage dollars from California's high-
priced real estate market for other productive investments.
Exports
- In order to boost the export of high value American products, President Clinton
has eliminated cumbersome export licensing requirements that restricted the export of
computers, telecommunications equipment and other electronic goods.
- Barriers have been eliminated on as much as $37 billion in technology exports,
1/3 of which are manufactured in California. This is especially crucial for California as
one out of ten jobs depends on exports and over 1/4 of all manufacturing jobs are within
the electronics sector.
- California benefits more than any other state from the enactment of NAFTA.
The state reached $6.6 billion in exports to Mexico in 1992.
-
One-stop export assistance centers are in the works, including one for Southern
California.
Defense Transition Programs
- The Technology Reinvestment Program will allocate approximately $500 million
annually to firms to aid them in finding commercial applications for their defense
technologies.
- Last November, the President announced the first 41 projects to be
funded under this program. California was the biggest winner, receiving 9 projects worth
over $125 million in public and private investment.
- On December 3, 13 projects worth another $ 100 million were awarded
to California firms.
-
The Commerce Department in the coming months will be conducting seminars
and programs throughout the state of California to help defense dependent small and
medium size businesses find new opportunities.
-
The Clinton Administration is expediting the transfer of military facilities to
localities so that these bases can be developed for the economic benefit of surrounding
communities. The President has already directed the Navy to transfer land from the
Alameda Naval Supply Center for the expansion of the Port of Oakland and approved
the full transfer of San Bernardino County's Norton Air Force Base to the local
community.
Grants and Projects
-
Well over $2 billion in federal assistance dollars have been delivered to
California.
- $1.5 billion of this is for the L.A. Metro Rail system, the largest transit
grant given to any city.
. Over $100 million is HUD funding for low-income housing.
- The Federal government is also funding new research institutions that will
support California's strong scientific base.
- In October, President Clinton announced that the $230 million Stanford
Linear Accelerator (SLAC) is the preferred site for the location of a new high energy
physics accelerator: the B-Factory.
-
A San Jose enterprise was chosen to lead a national consortium to
develop a new flat-panel display for use in a wide variety of electronics products.
Job Training and Re-employment
-
The Clinton Administration is coordinating disparate job training programs to
create a streamlined re-employment system which will help California's talented
displaced work force find new opportunities.
The Administration is creating one-stop-shopping center for dislocated workers.
-
The President's economic plan doubles funding for the Comprehensive
Dislocated Workers Program. California received $ 4.5 million of these funds in early
December.
2
-
The Administration has extended the trade adjustment programs to provide
training and income to workers who have lost jobs due to imports.
Health Care and Education
- The administration's health care plan would guarantee health security to
California's 6 million uninsured people and protect the nation's largest HIV-positive
population from losing their coverage.
-
California's overburdened public health care system received almost $600
million to offset the cost of treating uninsured patients through new regulations for the
disproportionate share hospital program.
-
A new education funding formula provides tens of millions of additional dollars
annually to states with high percentages of low-income students. This means $50-40
million per year for California.
-
Over $500 million in new funding for immigrant services is provided in the
FY94 budget.
Crime
-
Congress has agreed to the broad goals of the Clinton Administration crime
initiative. This plan would put 100,000 more police on the streets, restrict the sale of
assault weapons, create boot camps, toughen many criminal sentences, and require a
waiting period prior to the purchase of a handgun (Brady Bill).
-
Grants announced in December provided $150 million from the FY93 budget
for new police officers throughout the country. Los Angeles received the largest grant in
the nation, $4 million.
