Hazmat evacuation holds at half a mile; Blizzard and coastal flood warnings; CISA urges immediate patching

A hazardous materials release at a North Toledo tank terminal keeps a half-mile evacuation zone in effect after Toledo Fire and Rescue lifted a three-mile shelter-in-place order Wednesday evening, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency overseeing perimeter air monitoring. A powerful Bering Sea low has blizzard, high wind and coastal flood warnings up across western Alaska, with water levels at Hooper Bay forecast 5 to 7.5 feet above the normal high tide line. CISA urges immediate patching of two critical PHP vulnerabilities that allow unauthenticated remote code execution. Also in today’s episode: emergency ferry service activates for Hatteras Island while North Carolina Highway 12 stays closed, flash flooding hits northern Arizona and the Four Corners, Parkview Health restores part of its patient portal, and Guam reaches 99 percent power restoration after Super Typhoon Champi. EM Morning Brief is your concise daily update on national and state-by-state emergency management news. An EOC Voices podcast. Key Takeaways · North Toledo hazmat release. The evacuation zone around the MC Tank Terminal is down to a half mile radius and the three mile shelter in place order is lifted, but the release is not over. Shoreland Elementary School remains the shelter, EPA air monitoring continues at the perimeter, and surrounding roads stay closed while the interstate is open. · Western Alaska storm. Blizzard, winter storm, high wind and coastal flood warnings cover the Seward Peninsula, Norton Sound, the Yukon Delta Coast and the western Brooks Range. Peak impacts land Friday into Saturday, which puts the prepositioning window on today for remote communities with no road access. · CISA PHP alert. The php2shell vulnerabilities affect all PHP installations serving web requests, which reaches public safety portals, county websites and permitting systems. CISA’s guidance is to inventory, patch internet facing systems first, and take unpatchable systems offline. · Hatteras Island access. With North Carolina Highway 12 closed, the emergency ferry is the only vehicle route to Hatteras Island and moves roughly 250 vehicles a day. Fuel and propane deliveries are restricted to two sailings, which makes commodity resupply the constraint to watch. · Southwest flash flooding. Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada are all under flood warnings or watches, with life threatening flash flooding reported in Canyon de Chelly and road closures in place across southern Utah and southern Nevada. · Hospital IT continuity. Parkview Health’s partial restoration across 16 hospitals shows the long tail of a network outage: scheduling and messaging return before billing and telehealth, so downtime procedures stay in place for days. · Wildfire. National Preparedness Level 1 holds with nine uncontained large fires. The Sisi Fire in Washington and the Ridge Fire in Michigan are the two threatening structures, and the Bras Fire in Montana is the country’s only new large incident. · Guam recovery. Power is at 99 percent of system load and the water distribution system is fully pressurized, with conservation measures lifted and the Dededo boil water notice rescinded, which moves the island from restoration into cleanup and repair.
