RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Washington DC - 28 September 2022
1. Cutaway of FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell and National Weather Service Director Ken Graham walking into press conference
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Graham, National Weather Service Director:
"This wasn't a forecast that that I had to deliver. You know, you really look at this. I wish this wasn't a forecast that that's about to come true. Okay? So this is a devastating storm for parts of Florida, not just on the southwest coast, but also inland associated with some of these impacts. This is going to be a storm we talk about for many years to come. It's a historic event. So the impacts are already underway. Already starting to see some of those and those squalls getting into into Florida."
++SEPARATED BY WHITE FLASH++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Graham, National Weather Service Director:
"So it's going to take 24, 24 hours or so once it makes landfall to make it to the other side of the state across the peninsula. So it's 24 hours of rainfall, 24 hours of winds pushing the water. That's 24 hours that you'll see some impacts associated with this."
++SEPARATED BY WHITE FLASH++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Graham, National Weather Service Director:
"Water, we have to talk about the water. 90% of the fatalities in these tropical systems comes from the water. It's the storm surge. It's the rain, not just on the coast, but also inland. So we have to talk about it. Life threatening, devastating storm surge forecast. This is the brand new information over the last hour or so. "
++SEPARATED BY WHITE FLASH++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Graham, National Weather Service Director:
"It's an incredibly dangerous situation. Rainfall not just along the coast, but inland. Think about these values that we're forecasting, widespread, 10 to 15 inches, 15 to 20 inches. Some places are going to get two feet of rain. It's moving that slow. And that rain has a tough time draining because the storm surge has it blocked. So the water. People really need to listen to the warnings, have multiple ways to get information and warnings as the water is going to be incredibly dangerous. The wind as well. You know, we talk about the the leading cause of fatalities being water. But when you have a Category four storm like this around that eyewall, devastating amount of damage."
++SEPARATED BY WHITE FLASH++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Deanne Criswell, FEMA Administrator:
"For those people who didn't evacuate and are now being asked to stay in place, they need to make sure that they're getting to high ground. Right? And that they are putting themselves and their families in a position that is going to keep them safe. For those that are still being asked to evacuate, take them seriously, evacuate and get out of harm's way. I think the other big concern I have is then once the storm passes and individuals go out into this water, the water is still dangerous, right? It's still going to be moving rapidly. It's still going to have debris in it. It's still going to have downed power lines in it. So there's so many different dangers after the storm passes that also contribute to some of the indirect fatalities that we see after a storm."
STORYLINE:
Officials are warning Floridians of the dangers ahead as Hurricane Ian nears landfall at close to Category 5 speed.
The massive storm appeared on track to slam ashore somewhere north of Fort Myers and some 125 miles (201 kilometers) south of Tampa, sparing the bay area from a rare direct hit from a hurricane.
