Remembering Our 21 Hour Evacuation During Floyd…

Compliments of The Government U.S. President Bill Clinton declared a federal state of emergency in both Florida and Georgia in anticipation of the storm’s approach. As the storm turned to the north, more people were evacuated as a progressively larger area was threatened. The massive storm caused what was at the time the largest peacetime evacuation ever in the U.S., with around 2.6 million evacuating coastal areas in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

We were in that crowd. I had wanted to stay an extra day to let the outer islands and lower areas of Florida and southern Coastal Georgia get on the road first. I had just had triplet sons five months earlier, and my (now 17-year-old) firstborn was not even two. The lawmakers of our town were going door to door ordering us all to leave right then and there. They wanted evacuees to take as many vehicles, including boats, trailers, and whatever could be lifted and catapulted by the winds and water.

It was a nightmare. I was forced to leave with four babies and all our animals.

Feeding and changing four babies while stuck in hopeless traffic stayed with me for years. It took four hours to get out of our tiny town, and another 19 hours to get to Atlanta - normally a four and a half hour drive, tops.

It was more a state of emergency in my van than any hurricane trying to make landfall.

We have looked at FEMA and other disasters within a disaster in this issue. Many lessons were learned, and we share them with you in some of our articles, one specifically - What Went Wrong With Katrina ?

While I can’t say I was as totally cool, collected and classy as Katharine Hepburn sitting on a toilet reading a book amid the ruins of her home, I did pretty darned good to get through that horrendous episode. And thank goodness for the bagged ice in the cooler…it lasted far longer than I hoped, and was just enough reassurance to keep us sane.

Thank you for reading,

Hard To Remain Calm During and After A Hurricane, But Leave it to a Classic and Respected Hollywood Legend to Pull it Off

New England Hurricane of 1938 remains the most powerful and deadliest hurricane in New England history. Modern analyses reveal that the hurricane was at Category 3 intensity at both landfalls and place the maximum sustained winds in the 120–125 mph range. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy did far more property damage in terms of dollars (despite its lower intensity at landfall); however, the 1938 storm still stands as the second costliest storm to strike New England.

Feature: It’s Hurricane Season

What Went Wrong With

Katrina?

The Federal response to Hurricane Katrina remains a low point in the history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

FEMA’s actions exposed an agency in disarray, and the result was so toxic that it became a significant factor in the 2008 Presidential election.

Project on Government Oversight, an independent watchdog agency that cut its teeth uncovering massive discrepancies in defense spending, conducted a thorough study of FEMA’s response. This article is condensed from their report.

I

n August 2005, a tropical storm gathered strength and inched its way toward the United States, first hitting Florida. After reaching a nearly unprecedented level of strength, the now-Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast on August 29, destroying houses, businesses, and critical infrastructure -- flooding a section of New Orleans, and ultimately taking the lives of approximately 1,300 people. Hurricane Katrina holds the infamous distinction of being one of the most destructive natural disasters in American history, causing more damage and resulting in more deaths than the Chicago Fire of 1871, the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906, or Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Unfortunately, the 2005 hurricane season was far from over. Less than a month after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Rita hit the border between Texas and Louisiana.

8 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ June 2015

These natural disasters forced the federal, state, and local governments to jump into action to provide essential goods and services to Katrina and Rita victims. In some cases, relief efforts started before Katrina hit landfall. The federal government has so far appropriated approximately $120 billion to respond to the relief, recovery, and reconstruction needs of the devastated areas from Katrina and Rita. Unfortunately, despite those efforts, the federal government fell far short in meeting the needs of the hurricanes’ victims.

The FEMA’s role is to protect life and property “by leading and supporting the Nation in a comprehensive, riskbased emergency management program,” and to administer the major provisions of the Stafford Act (which authorizes the President to issue a major disaster declaration to initiate federal relief efforts). The Stafford Act provides the President with permanent authority to direct federal aid to disaster areas. The federal government funds

and oversees emergency response activities, debris removal, individual assistance, and housing programs only after the President has issued a major disaster declaration that sets forth federal agency responsibilities under the National Response Plan.

Although the federal government had a National Response Plan in place, had conducted planning workshops using a hypothetical catastrophic hurricane scenario (Hurricane Pam), and had the experience of being called into action for such costly hurricanes as Hugo (S.C. 1989), Andrew (Fla. & La. 1992), Floyd (Mid-Atlantic & NE U.S. 1999), Allison (Texas 2001), Isabel (Mid-Atlantic 2003), Charley (Fla. 2004), Ivan (Fla. 2004), Frances (Fla. 2004), and Jeanne (Fla. 2004), many federal agencies failed to meet their missions before and after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.

Even the Government Accountability Office (GAO) stated: “the federal government, in particular the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), received widespread criticism for a slow and ineffective response to Hurricane Katrina. Much of the criticism is warranted.”

There is much more that can be done to provide better relief and

recovery services to victims during an emergency event than was done by FEMA in response to Katrina. In a FEMA press release advising Massachusetts residents suffering from flood damage, emergency management officials gave consumers the following suggestions for hiring a contractor: use reliable, licensed contractors; get a written estimate; check references; ask for proof of insurance; insist on a written contract; get any guarantees in writing; have work inspected; make final payments when the work is completed; pay by check and avoid on-the-spot cash payments; and cancel the contract, if necessary.

If it had followed its own advice, FEMA could have avoided many of the mistakes made in the federal response to Hurricane Katrina.

Public outrage began to mount as evidence of the federal government’s failure to adequately meet the postKatrina challenge became evident. As a result, the federal government mobilized one of the largest oversight operations in history. To date, the White House, the President’s Council on Integrity and Efficiency, the Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency, the GAO, the Defense Contract Audit Agency, and numerous Inspectors General have published hundreds of reports assessing the federal response and spending related to Katrina and Rita. Those reports have identified logistical and contracting problems and recommended appropriate corrective actions.

Congress has also been active, with House and Senate Committees holding hearings and releasing reports. The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs released a 700 page report entitled “Hurricane Katrina: A Nation Still Unprepared,” which reviews the nation’s emergency preparedness and response system. The House Government Reform Committee Minority staff has most recently issued, “Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Hurricane Katrina Contracts.” The White House issued one of the most comprehensive

reports, entitled “The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina: Lessons Learned,” which is 230 pages long and includes 125 recommendations.

These oversight efforts, and their results, are a step in the right direction, but they do not reveal a complete picture of the government’s failure in its response to Hurricane Katrina or the overall lack of oversight of federal spending.

Although one result is that 80 people were convicted for hurricane-related crimes, the majority of indictments, arrests, and convictions have been against individuals who defrauded the government in petty crimes, rather than contractors caught exploiting the system on a large scale. In other words, so far the government has picked the low-hanging fruit from the tree. Even these small cases of fraud have accrued -- GAO estimated that the “range of improper and potentially fraudulent payments is from $600 million to $1.4 billion.” Investigations of contractor waste and fraud are ongoing -- the government has only been able to review approximately one third of the money that has been awarded to contractors, and billions more have yet to be spent.

being made. Lee has gone on record stating that FEMA is “doing more prepositioning” in an effort to better prepare for the next emergency event. Using full and open competition, FEMA recently awarded six new Individual Assistance Technical Assistance Contracts (IA-TAC) for future disasters to Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Fluor Enterprises, Inc., Partnership for Temporary Housing (PaTH), Disaster Solution Alliance (DSA), Bechtel National, and CH2M Hill. Those awards are for a period of two years with a contract ceiling of $250 million each to provide temporary housing and Disaster Recovery Center support. The task orders for the contracts require the contractors to utilize local firms to the maximum extent practical for additional subcontracting opportunities. These contingency contracts follow the four no-bid contracts that were steered to Bechtel, Fluor, CH2M Hill, and Shaw and have been the subject of much criticism.

In another good move, FEMA developed a debris contractor registry to enhance future contingency plans.

The registry, a web-based database that allows debris removal contractors to post information about their capabilities and availability, should enhance state and local governments’

“Since its initial response to Hurricane Katrina, FEMA appears to have made several steps in the right direction to improve its relief and reconstruction efforts.”

Since its initial response to Katrina, FEMA appears to have made several steps in the right direction to improve its relief and reconstruction efforts.

» Positive Steps Inside The Agency In response to critics, including POGO, who have pointed to FEMA’s lack of planning and pre-established contingency contracts, FEMA’s new head of contracting, Deidre Lee, has stated that improvements are

ability to plan for and manage debris removal operations either before or after emergency situations occur.

Additionally, in 2006, FEMA director R. David Paulison stated that the agency has improved its satellite and mobile communications system, digital alert system, victim management program, and policies to handle the next emergency event.

June 2015 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 9

Having the Director of FEMA be a career professional, rather than a political appointee, avoids the possibility that cronies or political allies without adequate qualifications will be appointed to this important position. An additional advantage to making the FEMA Director a career professional is that it will mitigate the loss of institutional memory and promote the ability to apply lessons learned that the frequent shuffling of authority and organization at FEMA has threatened.

On the other hand, a Cabinet-level Secretary would have the opportunity to begin FEMA’s response more quickly and allow the agency to be more responsive to catastrophic disasters. In 2006, Representative Don Young (R-AK) introduced House Resolution 5316, a reorganization that, among other items, called for the FEMA Director to serve a term of five years. It never came to a vote.

» Inadequate Competition To better evaluate goods and services and get the lowest practical cost, the government must encourage competition. Competition is essential to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse, and it promotes integrity in government spending. Moreover, by opening federal contracting competition to all contractors (including small and minority businesses), the government will expand its opportunities beyond the currently closed club of federal contractors. No-bid or sole source contracts may be necessary in some cases and there are existing exceptions found in federal regulations, but they should be used sparingly. During Katrina, the federal government missed awarding contracts to the best and brightest contractors, relying instead on the familiar and convenient.

» Lack of Competition and Re-Competing By the end of September 2005, it was reported that 80 percent of dollars spent on contracts, approximately $1.5 10 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ June 2015

billion, had been awarded without full and open competition. The government estimated that 58.8 percent of the Hurricane Katrina contracts awarded before November 30, 2005, were noncompetitive. The justification for allowing no-bid contracts was the urgent need for rapid emergency response. However, other government reports have found that 50.5 percent of the contracts have continued to be awarded noncompetitively – despite the fact that an emergency action is no longer required and, therefore, no longer justifies no-bid contracts.

The most glaring example of the negative impacts of non-competitive contracting was the four no-bid contract awarded to Fluor, CH2M Hill, Bechtel, and the Shaw Group.

Awarded after Katrina hit land, FEMA awarded each company a contract with a ceiling price of $500 million.

On October 6, 2005, FEMA Director Paulison testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that he has “never been a fan of no-bid contracts” and that FEMA would “re-bid all of those no-bid contracts.” Re-bidding did not occur, however, until August 2006. In fact, FEMA actually raised the ceilings on those contracts, authorizing more than $3.3 billion to the four companies.

To offset the public criticism, FEMA awarded up to $3.6 billion in temporary hurricane-victim housing contracts to small and minority-owned firms.

In another case, a sole-source printing services contract for $200,000 was awarded without any evidence of competition or justification of urgency.

For one order placed under the contract, the contracting officer did not obtain a price quote for printing 60,000 brochures. The $34,015 billed for this printing service was paid without evidence of a prior agreement on price.

While emergency circumstances give the government some leeway in entering into contracts that lack full and open

competition, FEMA did not consistently recompete contracts once the emergency period ended. For example, while FEMA’s decision to hire the paramilitary security firm Blackwater to provide law enforcement assistance in the area was questionable, the government found the contract terms “appropriate” and the contract price ($950 per security officer per day) “reasonable.” However, the changing security requirements from the emergency response period meant that the government could have “reduce[d] costs by soliciting competitive proposals using a mix of armed and unarmed security personnel.” There were many outof-work local law enforcement officers who have could been employed, and therefore the government could have saved hundreds of dollars per person each day. continued on page 20 ►

Feature: It’s Hurricane Season

– S P I T N O S PRE SEA Don’t Let Recent History Make You Complacent!

It’s hard to get too excited about an event that, even though it has happened regularly for your lifetime, hasn’t occurred in the past few years. Hurricanes Sandy (N.Y. - N.J.) and Isaac (Gulf Coast), both of which caused loss of life and major property damage, were the last U.S. events. They were almost three years ago. 2013 saw no U.S. hurricanes, and last year there was only one very early system, Hurricane Arthur, which hit southern North Carolina July 4th weekend. Other than ruining the holiday, its impact was limited to flooding and property damage along the coast, as far north as Nova Scotia. There were no reported deaths.

Pacific tropical storms and hurricanes have had increased activity over this period. Why this is happening is a matter for scientific debate, but the point is that in the U.S. we have experienced a pattern of limited hurricane impact in the past three years. As weather goes, this past winter was a much bigger story, with more power outages, property damage and loss of life. One big difference for our industry is that winter storms don’t require supplies of ice.

When hurricanes hit, there is an inevitable need for both bottled water and packaged ice.

Here’s another item to think about: if you are not already registered as a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) vendor, you may be too late for this year. This is, after all, the federal government.

That being said, each time there is a FEMA deployment, there is a field office. While it is a federal response, it is administered on a local level.

IATAC Contracts

FEMA is now awarding master contracts for rebuilding, called Individual Assistance Technical Assistance Contracts (IATAC).

It is believed that working with private sector engineering firms will provide a more responsive environment for affected persons, as well as minimizing full time staff needs for the agency.

These contracts concern themselves generally with the rebuilding effort: stabilization, demolition, construction.

Nevertheless, they handle many aspects of post-event logistics and may be the best point of contact on providing packaged ice.

While hurricanes are a permanent part of the North American weather pattern, we have only maintained detailed history of them since 1851. Since 1900, there have been only three years including last year - with zero hurricanes reaching North America. The most active year in recorded history was 2005 - the year of Katrina - with 15 storms! These are some of the most massive, unpredictable weather systems anywhere on earth.

They simply cannot be predicted with any certainty.

We have been dodging bullets for a few years now. Hurricane Sandy caught many off guard for several reasons - one

is because the New Jersey/New York area is the most densely populated in this country, so more people were affected.

A large factor, though, is that so few storms ever reach that far north that people simply weren’t prepared. Florida and North Carolina know what’s coming, but Jersey City didn’t. This is an object lesson for any business in a potential hurricane zone, and any company that can provide post-storm assistance. The only predictable thing about hurricanes is that there will be more, they will be devastating, and they will defy our efforts to figure out where and when. The only solution is to be ready.

Currently, the two contract holders are Atkins Engineering and a joint venture of CH2M Hill/CDM Smith.

Both companies have multiple offices across any potentially affected region, and a central point of contact will be designated.

A list of Atkins regional offices is available at www.atkinsglobal.com/en-GB/ locations/north-america/usa.

It may take a few phone calls to figure out which office is the best to reach.

CH2M doesn’t maintain a list of offices, their central contact point is (720) 286-2000.

Did You Know?

In the 1950’s and 1960’s, people went to hurricane parties with party-goers to watch hurricanes rather than flee from danger. There were claims that in 1969, Hurricane Camille wrecked a hotel where a hurricane party was being held and killed eight people. Some survivors who were at the hotel at the time claim there was never a hurricane party there and that the actual number of fatalities was not accurate.

Nevertheless, a hollywood movie was created out of this story.

When I lived in Beaufort, SC, along the Intracoastal Waterway, there was more than usual hurricane talk every June 1 – November 30 (actual hurricane season dates). I even evacuated once, and that nightmare is related in my spICE editorial at the beginning of this issue. I had friends during that time who were responsible and conservative in their business and family lives in every way possible EXCEPT when it came to hurricanes. The two gentlemen I’m referring to would get wind of the approaching hurricane and set off chasing it. More than once they got in trouble and in a bit of peril over the situation, but that only lent to the fun and excitement for them.

They loved the feel of the destruction close up. To each his own, I suppose, but I prefer to avoid danger at this stage of my life.

Bangladesh was a country that was created from a hurricane. In 1970, this region of Pakistan was struck by a cyclone and 500,000 people died. The people felt their government did not do enough to help after the disaster, so in 1971 they voted to be independent of Pakistan and Bangladesh was born.

Hurricanes do not occur in the South Atlantic Ocean, where the waters are too cold for them to form.

Family Business Sibling rivalry, a lack of succession planning and leaders who are unable to let go are just some of the problems that can result in family feuds, PR catastrophes or even the sale of the business.

Many not-so-famous families encounter these problems, but only the ones that manage to work through them put themselves in a position to pass the business on to multiple generations.

resentment of disconnected family members mother-daughter feuding Liliane Bettencourt is the 87-yearold heiress to the France-based L’Oreal group. As the only child of L’Oreal’s founder, Bettencourt was recently ranked the 17th richest person in the world.

Francoise Bettencourt Meyers has battled to get a case to court that calls into question her mother’s mental health after Bettencourt gave away almost €1 billion in gifts, cheques and life insurance policies to a friend Francois-Marie Banier. Bettencourt Meyers claims the gifts were coerced out of her elderly mother when she was not fully in command of her facilities, an allegation strenuously denied

by Bettencourt.

Before the courtroom battle, Bettencourt had promised her 31% share of L’Oreal to her daughter.

The court decision, expected this summer, and the fact the two women are reportedly still not on speaking terms, may have some impact on this.

18 REFRIGERATION Magazine │ June 2015

The Pritzkers are one of the US’s most prominent families. Founders of the Hyatt chain of hotels, the family looked in a good position to retain ownership of the empire after the death of their patriarch, Jay Pritzker, in 1999.

He left a clear succession plan in place concentrating power in three third-generation family members, all of whom had been directly involved in the management of the business. Jay also requested the family keep its fortune together and continue to grow its wealth.

However, he did not account for the problems that arose from the other third-generation family members who were not part of the business management. Not content to live on their dividend, eight cousins felt cut out of important decisions. The tension that arose from these feelings eventually led to a private family agreement in 2001 to split their wealth between 11 third-generation cousins and carve up the business empire.

This division has not always gone smoothly, creating two inter-family lawsuits in the nine years since the agreement was first reached, the last of which threatened the ultimately successful IPO last November.

motor-powered struggle between cousins No account of high-profile family problems would be complete without mentioning the Porsche-Piech family. Third-generation cousins Wolfgang Porsche and Ferdinand Piech are both the grandsons of Porsche’s founder and head Porsche and Volkswagen respectively. However, their relationship has been anything but idyllic since Wolfgang’s unsuccessful bid to overtake his cousin’s much larger firm.

The attempt saddled Porsche with a crippling €10 billion of debt and, in a dramatic turnaround of fortunes, left the luxury sportscar maker needing the help of VW to survive. The two announced they planned to merge in May 2009, but constant public feuding between the cousins meant merger terms were not agreed until August that year.

In an attempt to show who would be leading the newly merged company, Piech forced the resignation of Porsche’s non-family CEO Wendelin Wiedeking. It is clear who now has the upper hand in the family dispute.

leader’s iron grip Sumner Redstone, second-generation head of National Amusements, grew his father’s movie theatre business into one of the biggest media empires in the world.

But Sumner was so intent on retaining control of the company he sacrificed his relationship with his two children Brent and Shari. He asked them to side with him against their mother in divorce proceedings and to relinquish their voting share in order that he would have more control. Shari agreed and was rewarded with the CEO role at the family’s holding company, while Brent refused and was left with a minority stake.

FIR was filed against Mukesh Ambani for alleged irregularities in the pricing of natural gas from K G Basin. Arvind Kejriwal, who had a short stint as Delhi’s chief minister and had ordered the FIR against them has accused various political parties of being silent on the gas price issue. Kejriwal has asked both Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi to clear their stand on the gas pricing issue. Kejriwal has alleged that the Centre inflated the price of gas to eight dollars a unit though Mukesh Ambani’s company spends only one dollar to produce a unit, which meant a loss of $540 billion to the country annually.

The agreement has not solved the family’s problems. After Shari was made CEO, Sumner retracted his endorsement of her, meaning she may now never lead the company.

It is not only his children who Sumner has alienated. Last December, he won a legal dispute brought by his own nephew Michael Redstone over shares worth millions of dollars.

no succession plan Despite being two of the richest men in the world, it seems money cannot buy harmony in the Ambani household. The brothers, Mukesh and Anil, inherited their father’s Reliance empire upon his death in 2002, but that was just the beginning of their problems. Their father left them a business worth billions, but he did not leave them a succession plan.

Consequently, in 2005 with their mother’s help they split the empire into two separate conglomerates. However, this did not end the very public spats that continue today. In February 2014, an June 2015 │ REFRIGERATION Magazine 19

Federal agencies use the excuse that because they need to buy goods and services quickly, they cannot wait to solicit competitive bids from prospective vendors. One example that disproves that myth was the Military Sealift Command’s effort to procure cruise ships to be used as temporary housing for FEMA. Although the results of this effort have met with ridicule, because the low occupancy rates caused the per person cost to skyrocket, the government did conduct a competition in 19.5 hours and received offers for 13 vessels from seven contractors.

» Poor Oversight of Contracts Poor oversight in the award and monitoring stages of contracting is one of the most recurrent problems in the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina. Adequate staffing was a huge problem for FEMA. According to one Department of

Homeland Security official, FEMA was authorized to hire approximately 60 contracting officers before Hurricane Katrina hit U.S. land -- some government reports have stated that 172 acquisition officials were needed. The agency, however, was severely understaffed – with only 36 contracting officers on staff.

Director Paulison has stated that FEMA is now getting the resources it needs and that he is working with Congress to increase the size of the agency.

In addition to the lack of personnel was the lack of institutional memory. Many government reports attributed the lack of oversight to the frequent rotation of officials in and out of the areas, and other acquisition officials being “borrowed” from other agencies. All too often, there was no overlap in the rotation, allowing valuable institutional memory and scenario-specific information to be lost.

As a result of inadequate contracting staff, mistakes were multiplied, some of which have been detected by post-

award audits. Members of the House Government Reform Committee found that mileage claims were overstated and duplicate bills were submitted for debris removal and other services.

Additional examples of problems includes the arrest of two temporary FEMA employees for soliciting a $20,000 bribe in return for inflating a catering contract.

One of the most costly mistakes was an alleged computation error missed by FEMA officials that would have resulted in Bechtel double-billing the federal government $48 million, if it had not been found by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. These mistakes were only caught because of the tremendous emphasis on after-the-fact review. They might never have been made had the necessary oversight of government contracts been in place during the duration of the contract.
