Re: RE: Proximity of DR Sites & U.S. City Hazards

[Bob Radvanovsky <rsradvan () unixworks net>]

I agree with the USGS and/or NOAA.  However, local administrative staff and law enforcement may not be able to provide 
you such information under the Critical Infrastructure Information Act of 2002, esp. if the site or location is close 
to or within proximity of a 'high risk' area.  Your local/state EPA, not to mention the U.S. EPA, may be "toothless" 
against directives coming from DHS, which may override your request.  Start with your local county Office of Emergency 
Management group (formerly "Emergency Services Disaster Agency", or "ESDA").  Your county-based OEM is a subset to the 
Department of Homeland Security, which services FEMA.  Start there and work your way up.

If you get too many hastles or get nowhere with your local county group, you might have to make a request using FOIA to 
DHS.
