**Hurricane Francine Update** Hurricane Francine has made landfall earlier than anticipated along the Central Coast of Louisiana, bringing sustained winds of 100 mph. It has reached land as a Category 2 hurricane and is projected to move inland on a northeast trajectory between the harbors of New Orleans and Baton Rouge. **Industry Updates:** **U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:** The Corps is coordinating arrangements to deploy personnel to assess conditions at Southwest Pass and Venice tomorrow, contingent upon safety assessments. **U.S. Coast Guard:** Current Port Condition: Zulu. Vessel movements are currently prohibited on the Mississippi River from the Sea Buoy to Mile 303. Efforts are underway to strategize the reopening of the river as soon as weather conditions permit. **Pilot Associations:** Pilots are on standby and prepared to commence vessel movements once conditions improve. Although it is still early, we remain optimistic that the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) will reopen to vessel navigation and resume vessel cargo operations by Friday, September 13, 2024, at the latest.

#Stadiums and arenas have long served as vital locations for #community #reliefandrecovery efforts during natural disasters like #hurricanes and #earthquakes, as well as human-made crises such as #terrorism and health emergencies like the #pandemic. A new #partnership between FEMA and the National Football League (NFL) introduces a #preparedness and #planning program designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these venues in future response efforts. Involvement in the program allows for a stadium to be designated as a "Mission Ready Venue." Important work by #FEMA, #NFL, and everyone contributing insight to this project. And another example of the #socialimpact and #communitybenefits of #SportsInCities.

13 Sofar Spotter buoys were airdropped in the path of Hurricane Helene to make direct, real-time observations of the extreme conditions generated by the storm. The data collected by the Spotters will enable better understanding and predictive ability of hurricane impacts, helping protect coastal communities. The Spotters, which are expected to pass closest to Hurricane Helene later Thursday, have already observed extreme waves, with one Spotter recording max wave heights of 45+ feet. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Scientific Development Squadron VXS-1 deployed the Spotters in the Gulf of Mexico, along with microSWIFTs and A-DWSDs, on Tuesday, September 24th, as part of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts Project (NHCI).
