ANd WELCOME TO THE 2010 AWRA INTERNATIONAL SPECIALTY CONFERENCE AND 8TH CARIBBEAN ISLANDS WATER RESOURCES CONGRESS ON TROPICAL. HyDROLOGY AND SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE The last AWRA Specialty Conference on tropical hydrology was held in Puerto Rico in 1998 and now, 12 years later, it’s time to focus our attention on this important issue and on the need for sustainable water resources in light of a changing climate. _ The continued interest in tropical hydrology has improved data acquisition and availability, allowing us to make better management decisions; yet the management of water resources continues to suffer as a result of weather extremes, py acK & Veatcn Corp. population growth and urban development. This conference brings together water resources professionals, scientists, reg- SUNRISE, FLORIDA ulators, stakeholders, and special interest groups to exchange information, discuss solutions to common problems, and provide guidance on the future management of water resources. : i : oars The overall goal of this conference is to pick up where we left off in 1998 and encourage continued communications in a forum where we can gain a better perspective about national, regional, and local directions on tropical hydrology and sustainable water resources management. As part of the conference, we will look at possible future opportunities and challenges and discuss how to best manage them for the benefit of generations to come. The Call for Abstracts produced a great response from the international community, which will provide us with an outside perspective of the hydrologic impacts experienced in the United States and internationally from climate variations and the respective solutions currently being consid- ered and implemented. In addition, the conference is well balanced with the local perspective of water resources professionals, who will provide us with a discussion of the predominant hydrologic issues in Puerto Rico, including the need for conjunctive use of water resources to augment sup- ply, stormwater management under extreme weather conditions, water distribution management, hydrometeorology evaluations, and groundwater quality management among others. ; ; In keeping with AWRA’s brand of “community, conversation, and connections,” we encourage you to spend time networking with your peers, as well as making new connections while in Puerto Rico. We also hope that you'll bring your family to spend some quality time and enjoy the trop- ical paradise of Puerto Rico. Whether it is with a visit to El Yunque, the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest system, or kayaking-along the bioluminescent bay in Fajardo, Puerto Rico has many opportunities to spend time with your family and reconnect with the envi- ronment. ; On behalf of the AWRA Summer Specialty Conference Committee, we welcome you to Puerto Rico. We hope you enjoy your stay, the tropi- cal climate, and the great things the island has to offer. We welcome you to beautiful Puerto Rico! a‘ RAFAEL E, Frias UF Rafael E.

Waik to the nearest exit, leam the route, obstacles, etc. Keep your room key on the night stand when you are in your room. Examine your room. Check the windows to see if they open and how. Examine the area ’ outside your window. SE OF A FIRE ..: EV: DN : > — Immediately investigate all odors, smoke, and/or disturbances. If you smell smoke, _ grab your key, roll‘out of bed, and crawl to the door. Feel the door. If the door facing or knob is hot, don’t open it. If the hall is clear of fire, crawl toward the exit after closing your door. Stay against the exit side of the wall. Keep as close to the floor as possible. When you reach the exit, walk down the stairs holding the handrail. . . “SURV IVAL TECH NIQUES IN THE ROOM - If the door is warm or hot, or if the hallway is filled with smoke, you can still defend yourself : effectively i in your room. Call the front desk to report the fire and let someone know your location. Vent the room. Use the bathroom vent fan or open the window if there is smoke in your room. Don’t open the window if there is smoke outside. Fill'the bathtub with water for firefi ighting. Don’t get in the tub! Use wet sheets or towels to stuff the cracks around the door. use the ice bucket to drench the. walls, mattresses, rugs, drapes, .etc. While waiting to be rescued, do not hide’ from the fire. Stay out of closets and out from under the bed. Keep fighting until help arrives. Place a towel, sheet, or other jtems in the window to let firemen know that someone is in ‘the room. - OTHER TIPS — JUMPING ... If you jump from higher than the third floor, chances are you won’t survive the fall. Elevators ... Never enter an elevator during a fire alert. Don’t Panic ... It is contagious and almost irreversible once it sets in. If you understand what is happening, what to do, where to go and how to get there, you are unlikely to panic. , AWRA NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS STAFF ‘4 West FEDERAL Street + P.O.
