it's significant for the local government. if the power is out for a few days, it's an in cconveniencinc. if it's out for several weeks or months, the local government has to potentially plan for increased approximate public safety, water treatment, sheltering, evacuation, fuel delivery, generators. what should we plan for? ted in his book says that we should plan on six to 18 months of uninterrupted black out os. it could cause it in days and not weeks. today we're going to hear testimony from the federal emergency management agency, develop of energy, department f of homeland security director, the congressional and the electrical industry. i hope to get this for the states that are on the ground ask charge window the protection of people in property. imagine what we would do without electricity for a day, week, month, a year. all critical infrastructure is on the grit and particularly the lifeline sectors and transportation, water and financial services. if the goal f of the bad guys is to collapse the system, they're going

and local funds in the average nontitle one schools. in a given district, dulled still see a variety within that district. >> if you say you've got to spend at least as much here as the average of here, i mean, that's what we call comparability. isn't it? >> no, i mean, the decision to use the average nontitle one school means there would be a variety of spending levels in the nontitle one schools. >> seconds 1605 of the law says nothing in this title shall be con trued to mandate equalized spending per pupilal for state, local education counsel agency or school. what would you say to that. >> again this wouldn't equalize spending. what it would say is that in the title one school, you've got to be spending at least as much in state and local resources as is spent in the average nontitle 1 school. there would be a range of spending schools. so you would not be requiring districts to spend the same in all schools but you would be ensuring that the title 1 dollars are in fact supplemental and not being used to back fill. >> there are plen

secondly, i would say there's things the local utilities do have at their disposal to up with local communities in terms of communication and even backup generators that we can deploy to high priority areas to make sure that when we need to restore the system and we can't do it in a timely fashion, at least for some basic level of service we can provide. i think in an extended period of outage you will still have power to certain areas, have a backbone the power to him in a big discount or that down by the think collectively there will be ways to get resources able to the local towns and communities. to be quite frank i was skeptical when they started this electric subsector core dating council and whether the cub was going to get help us as an industry to store power quicker but i think presently surprised the last level of cooperation and collaboration that has gone on in the last three to four years. there are simple things like providing fuel that we needed during hurricane sandy to restore towns and communities in new jersey and pennsylvania. there's other things like providing dads for cr

and to require that state and local spending in title i schools be at least local to the average and nontitle schools. if that were adopted, your proposal would require an of all andoverhaul the country, something we did not pass in the law. it would force teachers to transfer into new schools, something we did not transfer into law. it would require states and school districts to move back the practice of detailing every individual cost when the purpose of the law is to relieve some of that burden. council, yourhe proposed rule would cost $3.9 billion just for the school district. districted the school spending in the school. i'm not interested in debating whether or not it is a good idea to include teacher salad -- teacher salaries. the plain fact is the law specifically says the department on his own cannot do it. not only is what you are doing against a loss, but the way you are trying to do it is against another provision in the law. onaccomplish your goals comparability, you using the supplement plan provision that is supposed to keep school districts from using federal title i

there are a lot of resources currently available to local communities, both at the state and local community level. they are a really great resource that unfortunately all the towns and communities don't take full advantage of. a lot of good best practices that have been used by towns and cities that have been more experienced with devastating storms -- for example the state of florida has a lot of experience. a lot of lessons learned there that are available to towns and communities. i think the other thing -- i think this was mentioned by the representative of fema earlier today, really boils down to, in many cases, the probability of the event happening that risk of the event, and willingness to put in place and spend the upon for backup generation or other backstops that would be necessary for one to two-week event. so i think that's where i would direct the towns and communities to be aware of what's available, utilize that fully, make the critical investments that they need to survive a one to two-week period. >> i will connect the dots. so do you think it's the federal government's go

how can that not be the defining of a methodology that a local school district uses? >> the proposed regulation is careful to maintain district flexibility with determining -- >> wait, mr. secretary. the words are provided that methodology is one or two. the question is, are you not defining a methodology when you use the words provided that methodology is x or y? >> we are not. we are laying out what criteria are necessary -- >> but you use the words provided that methodology are the words you use. >> followed by a set of words that describe the criteria by which that methodology would meet the principal of -- >> you define the methodology. >> we do not. >> you do. how can you say that? we may not be very smart up here -- i may not be. let me speak for myself. i can read. provided that methodology does x, does y. you are defining a methodology when in the law what we put in the law was that nothing in this section of supplement and supplant, which has nothing to do with the comparability section, nothing in the section shall be construed to authorize or permit the se

local campaigns. and take that money and he promised to deliver to them on election day up to about 300 votes for each one of the candidates from the poor, black ward of south nashville. what he would do is he would take care of people all year long. that is what ward bosses do. they don't just take a view on election day but they give you something. if someone in the family is sick and you cannot afford to take them to the doctor they might get somebody to come see them or give you something. if somebody is put in jail and you cannot make bail they will help. good jelly took care of his people. and because they took care of him they had to turnout and vote. all of this requires either using absentee ballots which you collect from the clerk and take and sign or having someone in the clerk's office who was in cahoots to the person doing it and getting something from the campaign. >> host: and that is to verify the person did what they say? >> guest: in nashville we had good jelly and little eagle who d

what does a local official need to plan for? and i think bases upon our experiences dealing with other hazards that have caused disruptions, planning needs to be measured in weeks, particularly if there's damage to infrastructure. and, again, with cyber we have seen restoration potentially quickly if there's not damage, but if you do have damage to generators, that will extend it. we do know it is important that in an initial response, that you provide for safety and security. when lights are out, power is out, we've had major metropolitan areas go through this. you have a flurry of activity with people trapped in elevators, traffic cole, antrol the fact that initial response may be going out looking for probl problem rather than waiting for calls from 9/11. your next steps are pretty much again as the ranking member points out all hazards. you have to then provide for the most immediate needs. hopefully your critical infrastructure has power and emergency power. you have the fuel supply you need. we have found in manycations co

the local da was part of it. and enforce that woman who was sitting in the seat who her whole family held that seat from the time anybody could remember, nothing happened. then even after they did all of that, the mayor who gets to appoint someone to the office says you black people want them in the office i have just the black for you and appoint someone who he knows, he's a sweet guy and i love him but he did not know his way out of a paper bag when he came to try to do anything for the people there. so when i look at all of that, i say that this part of the system, folks do not understand. if you understood that it you would understand why some people in town say they do not want to vote or they are not interested in voting. >> .. >> what relevant laws are on the books to deal with this problem? >> vote buying is illegal in every state. there are state statutes in every state. we have to remember that under the constitution the mechanisms of elections are controlled by chieftains, not the federal government. s

this business is based on trust. >>> when it comes to local, there are a lot of ways to look at it, localarketing like with dog vaca and local operations. in north carolina we met the owner of a company which produces golf products who was dead set on making sure all his manufacturing happened in his home state. >> dollars and cents wise, it is cheaper for us to make the product here than it is to make it overseas and it's more effective. >> we can drive and within two hours we can be at every one of our suppliers. >> when charlie was ready to launch his line of luxury golf accessories, he knew he wanted to source all of his supplies locally. the founder of stitch golf in north carolina took advantage of all the possibilities he saw in his home state. >> one business owner new he wanted to source all of his products locally. >> knowing that north carolina furniture industry had fallen on hard times, he recognized the potential, got in his car, and started driving until he found the materials he needed. >> i told my wife i was leaving in the morning and i'm not coming home until i figure i

local community level. great resource at a fortune i don't think all the towns and communities take full advantage of. a lot of really good best practices that have been used by towns and cities that have been more experience with devastating storms. so, for example, the state of florida has a lot of expenses couple of lessons learned there that are available to towns and communities but i think the other thing that i think this was mentioned ivy representative of fema earlier, it really was down to in many cases the probability of the event happening, that risk of the event and willingness to put in place and spend the money for backup generation or other backstops it would be necessary for one to two week event. i think that's were i would direct the towns to be unaware of what's available, utilize not only and to make the critical investments that they need to survive a one to two week period. >> i'm going to connect the dots. do you think it's the federal government responsibility for the state governme

secondly i would say there's things that the local yew -- local utilities do have at their disposal in terms of communication and backup generators that we can deploy to high-priority areas to make sure when we need to restore the system and can't do it in a timely fashion, at least there's a basic level of service that we can provide. in an extended period of outage, you'll still have power to certain areas. it may not be this town or that town, but collectively there will be ways to get resources available to the local towns and communities. to be quite frank, i was skeptical when we started this electric sub sector coordinating council and whether the federal government would be able to help us as an industry to restore power quickly. i've been pleasantly surprised at the level of cooperation and collaboration that's gone on in the last three, four years. simple things like providing fuel that we desperately needed during hurricane sandy to restore towns and communities in jersey and pennsylvania, and there's other things like providing beds for crews that are coming from out of sta

local activists and local boards have been beginning to please not do this. the new york times editorial board called it a disgraceful provocation by trump and local republicans for inviting him. he did it. he was greeted by an almost entirely white crowd inside. while a more diverse group of protesters outside expressed themselves as well. tonight mr. trump and other republican candidates for president are at the new york state republican gala in midtown manhattan where more protesters are outside trying to be a counter point to what the candidates stand for. protests are part of politicking. this nomination is not yet sewn up by anyone. racial provocation is something with a deep and resonant history. being a presidential front-runner is a powerful thing. it can also be a dangerous thing if you want it to be. s at ford like to show off their strengths: 13 name brands. all backed by our low price tire guarantee. yeah, we're strong when it comes to tires. right now during the big tire event, get a $120 rebate by mail on four select tires. when your ford needs

and the difference would be significant for local governments. if the power is out for a few days, it can be an inconvenience, but if it is out for several weeks, or a month or more, the local government has to potentially plan for increased public safety, water treatment, sheltering or evacuation, fuel delivery for generators and many other contingencies. what should we plan for? ted koppel in his book says we should plan on six to 18 months of uninterrupted blackouts. the industry seems to say a cyberattack could at most cause an interruption in terms of days, not weeks. today, we are going to hear testimony from the federal emergency management agency, the department of energy, the department of homeland security's national protection and programs directorate, the congressional research service, the north american electric reliability corporation, and representatives from the electrical industry. i hope to get an answer to this question for state and local governments. imagine what we would do without electricity for a day? a week? a month? a

local taxes. a significant amount of the spending is also due plik tif from other departments. $650 million handed out to the department of justice last year. i expect general roth, inspector general roth will give us much more insight into some of these problems today. i hear a lot about fema from our constituents and about flood maps, a neighbor of mine has a house at the local lake and his house is about -- oh, i think it's about 60 feet above the level of a dam and yet fema's map has him in the flood area and asks him to spend more money on insurance although it's hard to concede that it's going to flood. i hear that the updated flood maps are not clear enough for county officials to make informed decisions. i hear it takes far too long for counties to receive dispersement from disaster recovery work. perhaps if we were not buying bear cat armored vehicles, we would be able to take care of these problems. i would certainly welcome any comments at this time from our ranking member senator baldw

the fact is a lot of them are local. there is nothing wrong with creating a business that doesn't scale up. not everything scales up. scaling up is an artifact of the industrial age where you have to become the one, the winner, the king of the hill. you can actually be one of many in your business. that actually cool. used to be guilds. there were many people who built bridges and made houses and shoes and they had guilds and shared technologies and innovations with each other, and they understood that if everyone gets better, we're all doing better. they built a culture around what they did. now it's as if the economic term is the -- as if the number is the number that if it's a sear row, it means everything is distributed everywhere and if it goes to one it means all the money has been scooped up by one player. feels like the digital economy is strictured so there will be one big winner. leak a poker game. one guy gets all the chips, who is going to get everything? and that's because they're so addicted to scale, and e

there are a lot of resources currently available to local communities, both at the state and local community level. they are a really great resource that unfortunately all the towns and communities don't take full advantage of. a lot of good best practices that have been used by towns and cities that have been more experienced with devastating storms -- for example the state of florida has a lot of experience. a lot of lessons learned there that are available to towns and communities. i think the other thing -- i think this was mentioned by the representative of fema earlier today, really boils down to, in many cases, the probability of the event happening that risk of the event, and willingness to put in place and spend the upon for backup generation or other backstops that would be necessary for one to two-week event. so i think that's where i would direct the towns and communities to be aware of what's available, utilize that fully, make the critical investments that they need to survive a one to two-week period. >> i will connect the dots. so do you think it's the federal government's go

local taxes. a significant amount of this spending is also duplicative of grants available from other departments. such as the $650 million handed out to local police by the department of justice last year. i expect general roth, inspector general roth will give much more insight into some of the problems today. i in my office hear a lot about fema from our constituents. the most frequent flaints complaints are about flood maps. a neighbor of mine has a house out at the local lake. his house is about 60 feet above the level of the dam. yet fema as map has him in the flood plan and he has to pay extra money on insurance even though it's inconceivable that his house is going to flood in the even of a dam break. i hear that it takes too flong to counties to receive reimbursements for disaster recovery work. perhaps if we weren't buying bear cart armored vehicles for local police forces we might have more money to take care of some of these problems of the i'm eager to hear what our witnesses have to

the abundance and variety of new produce can be seen in the local markets. follow-up studies have shown that incomes have risen threefold. and scientists point to a more global benefit. plants, through photosynthesis, remove carbon from the air, countering the effect of human greenhouse gas emissions on the climate. as a result of its success, the lessons learnt from the loess plateau rehabilitation are now being applied all over china. but could such projects work elsewhere in less centrally controlled societies, with fewer resources and different soils? ethiopia, perhaps more than any other country, has come to symbolize the vulnerability of humankind to environmental catastrophe. this is a country whose problems have been increased by war and civil conflict. and now human-induced climate change is predicted to make matters worse. as on the loess plateau, centuries of subsistence farming practices have stripped the land of natural vegetation. the dry gullies bear the scars of flash floods. these gullies are evidence of the enormous power of run-off during

for use of local agencies -- full use of local agencies is made when possible, in cooperation with theitary police. as unidentified individuals, some of these refugees may be criminals, hostile sympathizers, or enemy agents. by spreading rumors, misleading information, or false orders, they can create and it and cause a peoples to flee blindly into the street and open roads, even before their homes have been touched. that's making themselves a perfect target for the enemy. thus making themselves a perfect target for the enemy. france,it happened over so it happened over china. [explosion] there, because of bombs and rumors of bombs, people took to their streets and open roads. they too became homeless wanderers and created a hazard to military operations by blocking the movement of troops and supplies. if the same -- it is the same in every case, and every country. no matter where they are going or where they are, refugees are actually a uncontrolled crowd. they are ever a potential mob. a possible threat to law and order, and to the security of our troops and equipment in the area. re
