National Hurricane Program Task Force
National Hurricane Program Task Force :
"In March 1994 the National Hurricane Program Task Force was established to assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with planning an enhanced Hurricane Program. Several work groups were formed within the Task Force to address proposed components of that program. Since, for several years, the preexisting Interagency Coordinating Committee on Hurricanes (ICCOH) had managed hazards analysis, population preparedness, and post-storm analysis issues related to the Population Preparedness Project (Hurricane Evacuation Study) phase of FEMA's Hurricane Program, that committee was asked to function as a Task Force work group for those topics. To support the work of the ICCOH, Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) subsequently organized the Hurricane Evacuation Studies Technical Guidelines Working Group". (USACE, Info on HES)
