----------------------
After the catastrophic eruption of May 18, President Carter declared the Mount St. Helens region a disaster area. This made Federal aid available through FEMA, under the Region 12 Director, Robert Stevens. On May 23, the Disaster Information Center of FEMA sent specialists in communications and journalism to Vancouver (Cogan and Lodato, 1981). These FEMA information personnel, who soon numbered more than a dozen, were under the local direction of Phil Cogan, FEMA Region 10 Public Affairs Officer. They coordinated and facilitated efforts by the Geological Survey and other agencies to get information to news organizations and to the public. They also set up a central information center into which information personnel of the Geological Survey and other agencies involved at Mount St. Helens moved. This resulted in a greater sense of teamwork. Information officers of FEMA and other agencies handled most routine calls about the volcano from news representatives, whereas the Information Scientist and public affairs officers handled requests for detailed scientific information about the volcano; detailed in depth interviews with scientists also were provided as time permitted.
The FEMA information center occupied part of a long, unfinished room (pictured) on the third floor of a bank building in Vancouver, Wash [1220 Main Street]. Here the Information Scientist, the Public Affairs Officer, other Geological Survey personnel, and a secretary worked alongside several FEMA secretaries, 10 or more FEMA information officers, and employees from the Forest Service, Army Corps of Engineers, Small Business Administration, State of Washington, and other agencies. Kenneth Kohl of FEMA administered recording and transmitting equipment used to make daily news reports that radio stations could pick up over the telephone. FEMA teletype machines, computerized word processors, and a photographic department filled other parts of the room. A nearby bullpen contained chairs, telephones, and a conference table for reporters.
