This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from N.P.R. News I'm Ari Shapiro and I'm Mary Louise Kelly after days stalled over the Bahamas hurricane Dorian has begun a slow crawl up the Eastern Seaboard rain from its outer most bands have begun lashing low lying coastal cities such as Charleston South Carolina this lumbering monster of a storm is hitting the U.S. After grinding its way across the Grand Bahamas and the Abaco Island sleeping behind a trail of destruction N.P.R.'s Jason Beaubien is in Nassau the capital of the Bahamas He's actually at the Nassau airport hey there Jason. Hello I what's the scene at the airport are flights getting in and out. Of flights are getting in and out of here and this is really become sort of the relief you've got helicopters from the U.S. Coast Guard from many different agencies coming in out of here you've got supply planes coming in supplies so this is really become like the main hub for the relief effort for the people didn't affect the air by door and great and in terms of the places they're trying to get some of those very hard hit places like the Abaco Islands that I mentioned what are they finding when they get there. They're finding incredible devastation I mean these places got hit with gusts of 220 miles per hour at Marsh Harbor and then Dorian just parked over Grand Bahama for almost 2 days I mean the scenes of destruction in some places are just almost total They're saying that some communities some poor neighborhoods have been just completely destroyed you know where we're hearing from people that there are boats thrown all over the place and really at this point they're just trying to figure out how to get in there and operate because the airports are under water and even at the ports that all cables sent stuff in by boat but most of the ports are destroyed so the level of destruction is really pretty amazing it's all well and good to send a boat but if the boat can't dock and actually get supplies loaded into that loaded off handle and it's not doing much good tell me I'm. Just there a particular story of somebody you've been able to interview that that's going to stick with you. I mean a lot of them stick with me and I just talked to a guy who just got evacuated out of Marsh Harbor on a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter Cambridge 33 he came out with 5 other people. He says that people in Marsh Harbor are really getting desperate Eventually I feel like there's going to be some real chaos of people trying to survive they already read in this. Thread about water where people has no water going to be in water. With water from off the road. And he says that people can't survive for that much longer there unless a plea it supplies actually get in will stay with that question of supplies we heard him mention water that there's no water I will I will mention that your line is fading in and out which tells me that phone communications are still not entirely up and reliable even in Nassau the capital certainly not in other places what else is just the greatest challenge in terms of supplies in terms of what people need right now. That you're so even here at the airport they are flying people out and just immediately loading them onto ambulances so medical care is a huge issue I mean obviously there were people there that were in you know assisted living or the people are in hospital and those people still need attention and so they're flying those people out people need a roof to sleep under and if you look at some of these these images you know entire swaths of Marsh Harbor of been destroyed and the prime minister said yesterday he thinks 60 percent of buildings in Marsh Harbor have been damaged or destroyed. Jason thank you. You're welcome and that is N.P.R.'s Jason Beaubien reporting on the scenes of destruction and devastation he was reporting there from Nassau Bahamas. Now let's bring in Jeff Byard he is a senior official at Pima and joins us from Fema headquarters here in Washington welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED thank you thank you for having what is at the top of your to do list right now today right now we continue to monitor Dorian as you will know you know we continue to go our east coast we're positioned to support all 4 states for what is looking fairly good right now however they still have some impacts but we really don't want our citizens to you know fall asleep all are still on the Georgia South held on the left on a. Little brunt of hurricane Dorian a lot of rain. Primarily down on the coast but you know these things can create weather hazard will and will and they're doing a great job of being prepared for that so we're focused on supporting our state supporting our 4 states is a long stretch of coastline this storm is so big how does that affect your preparations you know if you look you always try to look at positives with any situation what Dorian has has allowed us to do that's given us time to you know it really style than really stop there for a little bit so we were able to position critical resources such as water in Mari's that goes gap measures and staff all the way from North Carolina down to Florida so we have a good logistics lie down and now we're well positioned to supporting Can you give us a sense of the scale of this mobilization Are there any numbers you can share with us that would give us an idea of the size of the operation of themas and are taking right now right I think you know one of the most important numbers is the fact that we're basically just the bases that we established for example you know for. Fort Bragg North Carolina we've got Max where we're stationed in Montgomery and now we have no one field in South Carolina so what we do is we will know the locations of where water M.R.E. . If it tolerate. Shelter support such as cars blanket and then from there we either sign those over to the state will move or leave because you're so we try to surround house round a trailer trash around the impact and then ground it with resources I don't know if you've got this number your fingertips but just to give us an idea like how many meals ready to eat do you have ready to deploy across the length of this potential hurricane impact zone you know activity that exact numbers but what I can say is we have adequate We have millions of mails a nearly of quarter 1000000 meals billions of mail of May the readers of water you know throughout the operational area and it's also important that you know that what we have on hand we have the ability could be exactly contracting and most importantly. When we activate it with the government activate the most capability and capacity we have is in our private sector so working with that supply chain and understanding that you know how do we get a grocery store help a grocery store get up and running you're talking about the Home Depot the Wal-Mart for Waffle House and all right you know if we can have a store open or a restaurant open that's a lot better than M.R.E. You have been urging people who are in the path of the storm to take action now stock up on food refuel their cars evacuate if appropriate do you have a sense of whether people are following that guidance you know we were in constant communication with our state and a lot of. The staff a lot of they've got a very proactive North Carolina is really going after the best they got to back away Florida has and. So you know we will be able to chill what those evacuation. Obviously working with our state the state in the Locals of the one actually call for those evacuations not now seem to be going well but it always that you're in danger or hazard area you know I ask you to take those warnings seriously and evaluate protect yourself and family Jeff Byard of fema thanks for speaking with us today thank you so much. Google will pay $170000000.00 to settle allegations by the Federal Trade Commission and New York's attorney general the complaint alleges Google's video platform You Tube earned hundreds of millions of dollars by tracking profiling and targeting ads to children without parental consent and that is a violation of federal law N.P.R.'s On your chemist's reports the F.T.C.

Dot com. From N.P.R. News this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED I'm Mary Louise Kelly and I'm Ari Shapiro we told you yesterday that low income areas of major U.S. Cities are often hotter than wealthy neighborhoods it's the finding of an investigation from N.P.R. And the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland today we look at one of the best ways to beat the urban heat trees American cities are losing nearly 29000000 trees every year many are struggling to reverse that trend that includes Louisville Kentucky which compared to its surroundings has been getting hotter faster than any other U.S. City N.P.R.'s Meg Anderson reports any Hagler is walking down her block in park to Bob a lower income neighborhood on Louisville's West Side it's lined with single family homes and well kept tidy yards 1st of all is my neighborhood and I love it even without the things that I would want to have here things like trees she points to a small scraggly one in the grassy patch running down her street that's the median right there they've got a tree in there because one tree there's another small tree behind it and there are parts of this neighborhood with more trees but overall data shows the canopy here is about half the city average Hagler says she thinks trees were just not a priority part of all used to be the site of a massive public housing complex that was demolished and construction started here in the late ninety's so after 20 years if we had thought differently about the design we might have put more trees here across lieu of the wealthier neighborhoods have as much as twice the tree coverage as low income areas many of which are communities of color Jad daily is president and C.E.O. Of the nonprofit American forests he says that pattern is often the case nationwide if we show you a map of the tree can be in virtually any city in America we're also showing you a map of income and in many cases are showing you a map of race and ethnicity in ways that transcending common trees aren't just Plus . And they're key to fighting heat if you live in an area in cities that seeing more extreme heat days but you don't have tree cover to cool down your neighborhood that can literally be a life or death issue according to an analysis by N.P.R. And the Howard center low income areas of cities across the country tend to be hotter than their wealthier counterparts those areas are hotter in part because they often have fewer trees and that heat can take a toll on health here's daily the folks who are least likely to have the air conditioning to whether he waives the folks who are most likely to have preexisting health conditions that put them at greater risk from those heat waves aren't getting the benefits of trees between 200-920-1444 states last tree cover in urban areas according to the U.S. Forest Service and when it comes to trees many low income areas are already starting at a deficit Keds Stanfield executive director of Louisville grows a nonprofit that plants trees says it doesn't have to be that way he took me to St James court in old Louis it's a boulevard famous for its stately The Tory and hones and an annual art fair but we were there to see the huge lush canopy towering over us if you were to look at it here a view of this it would look too dissimilar from a forest the trees shade us almost completely Stanfield says it's a reminder of what's possible if trees are part of the plan from the beginning for anybody that plants trees in a city this is the goal this is the dream this is what you hope to create in the cities but even if trees are in the plan maintaining them takes money a lot of money this year tree maintenance on this street which is about a quarter mile long will cost around $20000.00 according to the neighborhood association the city has planted and donated roughly $5000.00 trees annually since 2013 but it loses about $54000.00 every year according to its own assessment to invasive species of natural disaster. Stars and Urban Development and Louisville is facing a $35000000.00 budget deficit they've cut funding to emergency police and fire services Mayor Greg Fisher says he'd like to plant more trees but we've got to wrestle with this great American challenge right people want everything with they don't want to pay for anything when it comes to planting tens of thousands more he says city governments not be able to do all that by itself he's counting on nonprofits and other institutions to fill in the gaps at the University of environments to toot researchers are trying to make the case that trees are a must have in city budgets they're starting a study called the green heart project and will plant full grown trees as tall as 30 feet in a 3 square mile area in Louisville the 5 year study will measure how the health of hundreds of participants changes and compare them to a nearby control group in short they're testing trees the same way you test a new drug the idea was to run this whole project as a clinical trial but instead of giving pills we plant trees ir
