CALL TO ORDER
Representative Lisa Murkowski, Chair, convened the House Special
Committee on Military and Veterans' Affairs meeting at 5:02 p.m.
PRESENT
Committee members present at the call to order were Representatives
Murkowski, James, Phillips and Kott. Representatives Foster and
Cissna arrived as the meeting was in progress.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
DAVID LIEBERSBACH, Director, Division of Emergency Services,
Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, began his overview by
describing the history of the division, its mission and its past
accomplishments. In reply to questions from Chair Murkowski, he
explained that a full disaster is in effect upon declaration by the
governor. The division works on all disasters, not just "natural
disasters." In reply to questions by Representative Phillips, he
said organized boroughs do not have "LAPC." The division rates
itself; personnel have learned, sometimes the hard way, how to
handle emergency response situations more effectively. Because of
the hiring freeze, they do not expect to have a new chief of staff
soon.
COMMITTEE ACTION
The committee took no action.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
