=> USA Fire Report and Forecast
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2001 - 1000 MST
NATIONAL PREPARDNESS LEVEL 1
CURRENT SITUATION:
The Southern Area reported eight new large fires this past week, with
seven large fires reaching containment. Initial attack activity was
reported on a daily basis in the Southern Area. A high pressure system is
expected to return to the Southern Area, with partly cloudy skies across
much of the region and high temperatures returning to near normal.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
STAGECOACH, Florida Division of Forestry. This fire is near Lakeland, FL.
A Type 2 Incident Management Team (Jones) is assigned. No structures have
been lost.
BIG BEND, Florida Division of Forestry. This fire is in monitor status.
TORY ISLAND, Florida Division of Forestry. This fire is near Homestead, FL
and is in monitor status.
RED BEACH, Florida Division of Forestry. Fire crews continued to work spot
fires.
FLICKA, Florida Division of Forestry. No other information was received.
BAHIA, Florida Division of Forestry. No other information was received.
JOAN, Florida Division of Forestry. No other information was received.
STAFFORD COMMAND, Florida Division of Forestry. No other information was
received.
TALL PINE, Florida Division of Forestry. No other information was
received.
LEYRY, Florida Division of Forestry. No other information was received.
OUTLOOK:
The South will have high pressure move back into the region today. Skies
will be mostly clear to partly cloudy across much of the region, with a
slight chance of showers across parts of central Florida. High
temperatures should return to near normal, ranging from the mid 60's to
the north part of the region, to the lower 80's in Florida.
A ridge of high pressure will build into Northern California today, while
the latest Pacific storm drifts eastward into the Rockies. Snow will
spread across much of the Central Rockies, extending northward into
western Wyoming, southern Idaho and southwestern Montana. Fair weather is
expected across the Pacific Northwest down through much of California for
much of the day. Another frontal system is expected to begin moving inland
on Saturday. High temperatures will range from the 20's across the
Northern and Central Rockies to the mid 40's in the Pacific Northwest.
Rain showers are expected across the southern reaches of Arizona and New
Mexico, while there is a possibility of snow in the northern mountains of
the Southwestern States. High temperatures will be in the upper 60's for
most of the Desert Southwest.
Moisture will be drawn into the Midwest by a strong low pressure system
moving into the Plains. Snow showers will occur in the Northern Plains,
while most locations south of Kansas to south Texas will see rain showers.
By tomorrow afternoon, central Texas and Oklahoma will have a good chance
of thunderstorms. East of the Mississippi River a high pressure system
will continue with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and light winds.
High temperatures in the Midwest will range from the teens in the Northern
Plains to the 70's in southern Texas.
A high pressure system building from the Great Lakes will push most of the
snow showers out of New England. Clouds will dissipate producing mostly
clear skies across most of the Northeast and winds will be gusty. Most of
the Northeast will see high temperatures in the 30's, with warmer
temperatures southward to Virginia in the 50's.

=> MDS Update
3.7 mile-long tornado strikes Mississippi
Region II Director Ottis Mast is currently investigating damage in Pontotoc,
Mississippi caused by a
23.7 mile-long tornado that struck around 10 pm on Saturday night. "The
houses are really tore up,"
said Mast. "These are mostly lower to middle-class people." MDS field
consultant Jim Shelly will be
flying to Mississippi on Tuesday to help with the investigation. This
devastating storm system came
on the heels of wind damage caused by similar storms on February 17 in
Columbus, Miss.
Volunteer dies in auto accident
Leroy Miller, a long-time supporter and volunteer for MDS, died in an
automobile accident on
Saturday when the pickup truck that he and Daryl Mast were traveling in
struck a washed-out
section of road on the way to the MDS project in Apache, Oklahoma. Cards and
condolences can

=> Fauci Presents Roadmap For Infectious Disease Research In 21st Century
A generation ago, it was suggested that the time had come to "close the
book" on infectious
diseases. With the availability of a growing arsenal of antibiotics and
vaccines, some policymakers
argued that biomedical research resources should be diverted from infectious
diseases to other
concerns.
Today, the folly of this position is clear: infectious diseases are the
second leading cause of death and
the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years worldwide (one
disability-adjusted life year is one
lost year of healthy life). Together, the five leading infectious causes of
death -- acute lower
respiratory infections, HIV/AIDS, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, and
malaria -- took more than
11.5 million lives in 1999 alone.
Rather than becoming a minor concern, "The discipline of infectious diseases
will assume added
prominence in the 21st century in both developed and developing nations,"
writes Anthony S. Fauci,
M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
in the March 1 "Clinical
Infectious Diseases". "To an unprecedented extent, issues related to
infectious diseases in the context
of global health are on the agendas of world leaders, health policymakers,
and philanthropies."
He notes that infectious diseases, long viewed solely as humanitarian
concerns, are now seen by
leaders in the context of foreign policy because of their deleterious
effects on economic development
and political stability. He suggests that infectious diseases and the
biological sciences will be
increasingly important to the development and execution of foreign policy in
the 21st century.
In his article, Dr. Fauci reviews key scientific challenges facing
infectious disease researchers in the
new millennium, including the following:
--The threat of emerging and re-emerging diseases. Recent examples include
the HIV/AIDS
pandemic, West Nile virus in the United States, "mad cow" disease and new
variant
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Europe, and the ever-present threat of pandemic
influenza
--The spread of drug resistance seen in all classes of microbial pathogens
--The need for a better understanding of certain chronic diseases once
considered to be
"non-infectious," such as ulcers and certain cancers, which are actually
caused directly or indirectly
by infectious microbes
--The threat of bioterrorism
Fortunately, Dr. Fauci writes, "Interest in global health has led to
increasing levels of financial
support, which, combined with recent technological advances, provide
extraordinary opportunities
for infectious disease research in the 21st century."
In the 21st century, the technological advances that will serve as the
foundation for the control of
established, emerging, and re-emerging diseases will include:
--Genomics and proteomics
--Synthetic chemistry/robotics
--Computer/mathematical modeling
--Molecular epidemiology
--Genetic epidemiology
--Information technology
In particular, Dr. Fauci notes that "the sequencing of human and microbial
genomes and advances in
functional genomics will underpin significant progress in many areas,
including understanding human
predisposition and susceptibility to disease, microbial pathogenesis, and
the development new
diagnostics, vaccines, and therapies."
Dr. Fauci's article, entitled "Infectious Diseases: Considerations for the
21st Century" is a shortened
and edited version of an address Dr. Fauci delivered at the 38th annual
meeting of the Infectious
Diseases Society of America on September 7, 2000 in New Orleans. Video of
the lecture is
available at
