June 11, 2010 FLASH FLOODING ALONG THE LITTLE MISSOURI RIVER North Little Rock – The State’s Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) at the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM) is monitoring the flooding events at the Little Missouri River along the Pike and Montgomery County line. Flash flooding in the area has left campers stranded and search and rescue teams from Montgomery, Pike and Clark Counties are working the area. At this time they have rescued approximately 30 people. Arkansas State Police reported 14 fatalities by early afternoon. “Saving lives is priority number one, ADEM is ready to assist in providing as many resources as it takes to rescue those stranded,” said ADEM Deputy Director Jay Winters. Because of the lack of cell service in the area, ADEM has sent AWIN radios and satellite phones so responders are able to communicate with each other. Dr. Bill Mason, Public Health Preparedness Branch Chief said, “This is a terrible tragedy and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has plans for assisting with disaster recovery efforts. This includes identifying and arranging transport of deceased individuals. In addition, the ADH Emergency Medical Services Section is on standby. Two adjoining ambulance services have been sent through county mutual aid to affected perimeters. We have other regional ambulance services ready, if needed.” After the emergency phase of the incident, the ADH will assist any well owners in the affected areas with sanitizing and testing of water wells and other environmental concerns. The Arkansas Red Cross has mental health workers and food stations on scene to assist with the needs of both survivors and responders. ==== Homeland Security and Emergency Management http://www.state.ar.us/government_hs.php?sessid=9309c1ba71da0f41bf6811cf626be5bf& ==== http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=106418 For information on Albert Pike Campground facilities or surrounding area, please contact Tracy Farley at (479) 964-7200 or C.J.

June 11, 2010 FLASH FLOODING ALONG THE LITTLE MISSOURI RIVER North Little Rock – The State’s Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) at the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM) is monitoring the flooding events at the Little Missouri River along the Pike and Montgomery County line. Flash flooding in the area has left campers stranded and search and rescue teams from Montgomery, Pike and Clark Counties are working the area. At this time they have rescued approximately 30 people. Arkansas State Police reported 14 fatalities by early afternoon. “Saving lives is priority number one, ADEM is ready to assist in providing as many resources as it takes to rescue those stranded,” said ADEM Deputy Director Jay Winters. Because of the lack of cell service in the area, ADEM has sent AWIN radios and satellite phones so responders are able to communicate with each other. Dr. Bill Mason, Public Health Preparedness Branch Chief said, “This is a terrible tragedy and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has plans for assisting with disaster recovery efforts. This includes identifying and arranging transport of deceased individuals. In addition, the ADH Emergency Medical Services Section is on standby. Two adjoining ambulance services have been sent through county mutual aid to affected perimeters. We have other regional ambulance services ready, if needed.” After the emergency phase of the incident, the ADH will assist any well owners in the affected areas with sanitizing and testing of water wells and other environmental concerns.

June 11, 2010 FLASH FLOODING ALONG THE LITTLE MISSOURI RIVER North Little Rock – The State’s Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) at the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM) is monitoring the flooding events at the Little Missouri River along the Pike and Montgomery County line. Flash flooding in the area has left campers stranded and search and rescue teams from Montgomery, Pike and Clark Counties are working the area. At this time they have rescued approximately 30 people. Arkansas State Police reported 14 fatalities by early afternoon. “Saving lives is priority number one, ADEM is ready to assist in providing as many resources as it takes to rescue those stranded,” said ADEM Deputy Director Jay Winters. Because of the lack of cell service in the area, ADEM has sent AWIN radios and satellite phones so responders are able to communicate with each other. Dr. Bill Mason, Public Health Preparedness Branch Chief said, “This is a terrible tragedy and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has plans for assisting with disaster recovery efforts. This includes identifying and arranging transport of deceased individuals. In addition, the ADH Emergency Medical Services Section is on standby. Two adjoining ambulance services have been sent through county mutual aid to affected perimeters. We have other regional ambulance services ready, if needed.” After the emergency phase of the incident, the ADH will assist any well owners in the affected areas with sanitizing and testing of water wells and other environmental concerns. The Arkansas Red Cross has mental health workers and food stations on scene to assist with the needs of both survivors and responders. ==== Homeland Security and Emergency Management http://www.state.ar.us/government_hs.php?sessid=9309c1ba71da0f41bf6811cf626be5bf& ==== http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=106418 For information on Albert Pike Campground facilities or surrounding area, please contact Tracy Farley at (479) 964-7200 or C.J.

The agency works to identify and lessen the effects of emergencies, disasters and threats to Arkansas by developing effective prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery actions for all disasters and emergencies. For additional information, contact ADEM at (501) 683-6700 or visit the website at www.adem.arkansas.gov. June 11, 2010 FLASH FLOODING ALONG THE LITTLE MISSOURI RIVER North Little Rock – The State’s Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) at the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM) is monitoring the flooding events at the Little Missouri River along the Pike and Montgomery County line. Flash flooding in the area has left campers stranded and search and rescue teams from Montgomery, Pike and Clark Counties are working the area. At this time they have rescued approximately 30 people. Arkansas State Police reported 14 fatalities by early afternoon. “Saving lives is priority number one, ADEM is ready to assist in providing as many resources as it takes to rescue those stranded,” said ADEM Deputy Director Jay Winters. Because of the lack of cell service in the area, ADEM has sent AWIN radios and satellite phones so responders are able to communicate with each other. Dr. Bill Mason, Public Health Preparedness Branch Chief said, “This is a terrible tragedy and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has plans for assisting with disaster recovery efforts. This includes identifying and arranging transport of deceased individuals. In addition, the ADH Emergency Medical Services Section is on standby. Two adjoining ambulance services have been sent through county mutual aid to affected perimeters. We have other regional ambulance services ready, if needed.” After the emergency phase of the incident, the ADH will assist any well owners in the affected areas with sanitizing and testing of water wells and other environmental concerns. The Arkansas Red Cross has mental health workers and food stations on scene to assist with the needs of both survivors and responders.
