    West Virginia declares emergency in all 55 counties after flash flooding; Hawaii power restoration passes 86 percent as Lala tracks through Papahanaumokuakea
    2026/08/19
    Today’s EM Morning Brief covers a West Virginia State of Emergency spanning all 55 counties after three days of flash flooding, mudslides and water rescues, plus a separate countywide declaration and school closures in Kanawha County. In Hawaii, roughly 33,600 customers remain without power nine days after Lala, with boil water and essential-needs notices still active on Hawaii Island and an East Maui community cut off by a washed-out bridge. The national wildfire picture stays at Preparedness Level 5 with 76 uncontained large fires and 3.7 million acres burning, driving evacuations in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, New Mexico and Alaska. Also in this episode: Indiana’s derecho recovery under a federal Emergency Declaration, cleanup and EPA air monitoring at the Glenpool pipeline tank fire in Oklahoma, four new CISA known exploited vulnerabilities under the new BOD 26-04 model, and dangerous heat across the Desert Southwest. EM Morning Brief is your concise daily update on national and state-by-state emergency management news. Produced by Sitch Radio, an EOC Voices podcast.Key Takeaways• West Virginia statewide emergency: All 55 counties are under a 30-day State of Emergency after Aug 16 to 18 flash flooding and mudslides. Kanawha County declared its own emergency, Metro 911 logged 2,100 calls and 60 water rescues Sunday, and 10 schools in the Riverside High attendance area are closed for the first three days of the school year.• Hawaii lifelines: Roughly 33,600 customers remain without power statewide, with about 24,400 on Hawaii Island. Boil water in Pahala, an essential-needs-only water notice countywide, four potable water tanker sites, low pressure in upper metropolitan Honolulu, and intermittent Oahu cellular service all remain active. Lower Nahiku in East Maui is cut off by a washed-out bridge.• Hurricane Lala still active: As of the Tuesday late-morning advisory, Lala carried 105 mph winds with a Hurricane Watch for Papahanaumokuakea from Lisianski Island to Maro Reef and a forecast of large surf inundating low-lying atolls beginning Wednesday.• Wildfire posture: National Preparedness Level 5, 76 uncontained large fires, 3,736,566 acres on active incidents, and year-to-date acreage at 168 percent of the ten-year average. Australian and New Zealand crews and 240 Army soldiers are supporting operations.• Highest-risk fires with evacuations: Little Giant, Washington (134,635 acres, 10 percent); Three Queens, Washington (Level 3 GO around Cooper Lake); Grasshopper, Oregon (90,667 acres, 49 percent, 22 structures lost); Hagen, Oregon (56,869 acres, 17 percent); Sand Creek, Montana (31,652 acres, 1 percent); Frijoles, New Mexico (11,335 acres, 9 percent, Cundiyo upgraded to Set); Mukluk, Alaska (Level 3 GO evacuations, about 20 homes damaged).• Indiana derecho recovery: Seven confirmed storm deaths, 98,824 customers out as of 2 p.m. Tuesday, and 53 counties covered under federal Emergency Declaration EM-3651 for Public Assistance. NIPSCO targets full restoration by late Friday.• Hazmat: Glenpool, Oklahoma tank farm cleanup continues with EPA-coordinated fence-line air monitoring. Shelter-in-place lifted, but a voluntary evacuation recommendation remains between 126th and 131st Streets South.• Cyber: Four new CISA known exploited vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft IKE, Microsoft SharePoint, Broadcom VMware vCenter and Apple macOS. Federal agencies now prioritize under BOD 26-04, a risk-based model rather than a uniform patch deadline. Two ICS advisories also issued, including one for CISA’s own Malcolm network monitoring suite.• Heat: Extreme Heat Warnings run through Friday across Arizona, southern Nevada and inland southern California. Maricopa County has confirmed 81 heat deaths this year, more than double last year’s pace at the same date.• Water systems: New boil water advisory in McCormick County, South Carolina. St. Louis and West Columbia, South Carolina advisories both lifted Tuesday.• Assistance: Five Disaster Service Centers opened Tuesday in Mississippi for Tropical Storm Arthur survivors under DR-4930, serving Hancock, Harrison, Pearl River and Stone counties.SponsorsB.

  • Hawaii recovery deepens after Hurricane Lala with one death and tens of thousands still dark; Indiana readies major disaster request after seven deaths

    Hawaii recovery deepens after Hurricane Lala with one death and tens of thousands still dark; Indiana readies major disaster request after seven deaths
    2026/08/18
    Hawaii Island enters a second week of recovery from Hurricane Lala with one confirmed death, roughly 88,000 customers still without power statewide, and Pahala cut off by a destroyed section of Highway 11 with no water or sewer service. Indiana counts at least seven dead and more than a thousand displaced as the state finalizes a major disaster declaration request and activates relief grants and replacement food benefits. The national wildfire preparedness level holds at 5 with 80 uncontained large fires and evacuations running in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Montana and New Mexico. Also in this episode: a new CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities entry, a St. Louis boil water advisory tied to storm-driven pressure loss, municipal cyber incidents in Maine and Arkansas, Extreme Heat Warnings in the desert Southwest and the coastal Carolinas, and a two-week countdown on Wisconsin’s FEMA application deadline. EM Morning Brief is your concise daily update on national and state-by-state emergency management news. Produced by Sitch Radio, an EOC Voices podcast.Key Takeaways• Hawaii lifeline restoration is the national priority. One confirmed death, roughly 88,670 customers without power Monday evening, and Pahala without power, water or sewer. Highway 11 is severed south toward Naalehu, and about 100 mainland mutual aid crew members arrive midweek.• Indiana federal aid is pending, not approved. A presidential emergency declaration covers 53 counties for emergency protective measures at 75 percent federal cost share, but individual assistance requires the major disaster declaration the state has not yet filed. State grants of up to $5,000 and replacement SNAP benefits are available now through 211 and the FSSA portal.• Wildfire remains at National Preparedness Level 5. Eighty uncontained large fires, 28,710 personnel assigned, and year-to-date acreage at roughly 169 percent of the ten-year average. Sand Creek in Montana is at 1 percent containment on 31,652 acres.• Active evacuation drivers to watch: Little Giant in Washington, Hagen and Paradise in Oregon, Black Canyon in Utah, Sand Creek, Bobcat Lakes and Moose in Montana, and Frijoles in New Mexico.• Two water systems are degraded. St. Louis is under a precautionary boil water advisory across 27 neighborhoods after storm-driven pressure loss at the Chain of Rocks plant, and West Columbia, South Carolina is under a boil advisory after a main break.• Municipal cyber pressure continues. Lincoln, Maine reopened Tuesday with limited services after file encryption, and Fort Smith, Arkansas is still restoring city systems. Both jurisdictions report 911 and emergency response unaffected.• One new CISA KEV entry. A code injection flaw in the Ray distributed computing framework was added Monday with remediation due this week. No NTAS bulletin is currently in effect.Deadline watch. Wisconsin FEMA individual assistance and SBA physical disaster loan applications close Monday, August 31 for 19 counties plus the Oneida Nation. Mississippi opens five Disaster Service Centers at noon today.SponsorsPlease follow us on your favorite podcast player: https://pod.link/1837456562B.

    Tropical Storm Lala leaves 179,000 without power and closes Hawaii statewide; record rainfall drives more than 50 water rescues in Kanawha County, West Virginia

    Tropical Storm Lala pulls away from Hawaii and leaves a major recovery behind: about 179,000 customers without power, all state offices and schools closed, an islandwide essential needs only water notice on Hawaii Island, and a pending major disaster declaration request. Record rainfall in Charleston, West Virginia drives more than 50 water rescue calls in Kanawha County as a Flood Watch extends across southeast Ohio, eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia.

    2026/08/10
