Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is coordinating plans and
preparatory activities of numerous federal agencies in close
communication with state, tribal and local officials as Tropical
Storm Gustav threatens to return to hurricane strength prior to
impacting Gulf Coast states.  All residents in the region are
encouraged to make personal preparations.  Information is available

FEMA's work with states using a Gap Analysis tool to determine in

needed has helped federal and state agencies to develop pre-scripted
mission assignments and other contingency plans to help improve
response and recovery efforts.
