some specific examples some exclusions us at some limitations i should say so the national emergency centerestablishment act what it does not do it does not authorize any federal officer or employee to force an individual to enter a national emergency center or prevent an individual from leaving a national emergency center so bob it looks to me like there are some safeguards their favor you don't like it you can leave well i'd like to think so and this was actually one of the other things that was changed in this new version of the bill they added this but if you read what they're saying you know federal officer or federal employee that doesn't cover members of the military and since these are going to be installed in decommissioned and existing military bases you're going to have people from the military there so i would think they will have people namely the military who would be able to force people to stay there or prevent them from leaving if that is what they want to do now for some of the civil liberty advocates like yourself and others like you that are worried that this could be a

kevin trenberth of the national center for atmospheric research says, without question, the warming of earth's climate will create more extreme weather. >> we know that certainly is the case with hurricanes. the higher sea surface temperature puts more moisture into the atmosphere. that gets sucked up by the storm. there's heavier rainfalls. it boosts the power of that storm a little bit and makes it just a little bit worse than it otherwise would have been. >> adding to the destructive future of these superstorms, rising sea levels, also fueled by climate change. >> we have satellites in space that are measuring sea level to millimeter accuracy now. since 1992, sea level has gone up 2 1/4 inches since then. >> we expect more in the next century. if you start with higher water, the storm surge will be added on top of that until we get a higher flood. >> rising seas, heightened storm surge, a terrifying prospect facing millions of people living on the east coast. >> my community, my neighborhoods, my best friends, they were all affected by this in a way they are never going to be able t

right, so our organization is the contractor to samhsa and cofunded by the children's bureau, the national center on substance abuse and child welfare. in that role, we have seen many things happen that the systems are working together in different ways to identify earlier so that families that may get a first report of neglect. most kids and most families that come to the attention of the child welfare system are there for reasons of neglect rather than abuse or sexual abuse. in fact, we've made great strides in the country in the last decade at reducing the numbers of kids with physical and sexual abuse, and yet we haven't really changed that number on how many kids are in the neglect category of those reports. typically, we see that there are several reports before child welfare steps in active services. there may be some investigations that go on. they are very adept now at being able to look at risk and safety factors for the child, to understand when that child is in imminent risk. what is "imminent risk"? so that our audience understands what we're talking about. child welfare, cps workers

we have a national center on traumatic stress. we've got the activity that dr. gillece is engaged in, and we've got the activity that miss cain is engaged in. and we've got community programs like dr. harris is engaged in. but the key issue is, while we're not solely responsible for addressing these issues, we are working very aggressively. we also have partnerships with the administration for children and families, the department of defense, the department of justice, and the veterans administration, and hrsa, so that we deal with trauma across the board. we want it to be in primary care settings. we want people asking about it. and then we want to make sure we have a workforce that's skilled enough to begin to do something about it. and we are very glad that you have enlightened our audience related to this topic. i want to remind our audience that national recovery month is celebrated every september, and we're hoping that you engage and be visible and vocal during this month by hosting events and also be engaged, not only with the family, but with those that

yeah, you asked earlier about some of the things that the national center is doing and we're happy that there is this kind of approach, that is relatively new, just starting in 1996, but it really takes the child protective service system and the family court and the substance abuse treatment providers and addresses the whole family. so, just as fran was saying, the importance of collaboration. what does that actually mean when you're working with a particular family and importantly what does that mean for all of the families. so it uses some key concepts about making sure that we can identify families with substance abuse and mental health problems as they're entering the child protective service system quicker, getting them access to services quicker. making sure that each of the family members has a support system, has a treatment plan when needed. uses the court, the family court to more carefully monitor what is going on in the treatment plan, particularly around the parent and their substance use disorder and the child and how the child's permanency and the relationships that they
