joining us now, is fema administrator craig fugate. thanks very much for joining us.ally appreciate it. what is your overall assessment of the situation right now? where are we in it, where is the greatest need? >> well so far we haven't seen in many areas the worst part of the storm as you see from jacksonville. it is getting out of that area. we've been talking about florida a lot. we're talking about georgia, south carolina, our primary focus is supporting the governor's response to life saving, life sustaining operations as conditions begin to improve further south in florida, we'll start doing assessments and determine what kind of long-term recovery is needed but president obama is already declared emergencies and in all of the states affected so we're able to directly support governors in response states. melissa: what is the biggest challenge for emergency agencies and yourself? >> as you're evacuating, some people do choose to stay behind and really how bad is the storm going to get in these areas. as soon as conditions permit doing assessment and search-and-

i want to bring in craig fugate, the administrator of fema and he joins me live on the phone. craig, how bad is this looking? >> well, it's about as bad as you can get, particularly because it's going to be right along the coast, if not onshore, and it's going to travel up along the east coast, up into potentially all the way up into georgia and south carolina. so rather than just coming in and hitting a smaller area, this has potential to do heavy damage from wherever it comes close to the florida coast until it goes back out in the atlantic. we're having to prepare for multiple states with significant impact on the coastal communities. >> given how bad you think it's going to be, what is your biggest concern? >> the biggest concern right now is people evacuating. that is the one step we know can significantly reduce the risk of loss of life. and today's the day. there is no more waiting. no more hoping it's not going to hit. you have to evacuate if you want to get to safety. the next steps will then be to respond to the areas of impact, and as most people are telling you, we
