NESC
Offers Flood, Disaster Related Products
In light of Hurricane Katrina and the devastation
of coastal areas of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, restoring
clean drinking water to the many destroyed small communities
is a job almost beyond comprehension. Although less horrendous,
much of the inland areas of these states and others have also
been affected by flooding. Individuals and communities will
likely be faced with correcting the subsequent contamination
of private as well as public water supples. It is
also imperative that individuals with contaminated private
wells and springs contact their local health departments for
more information and assistance.

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34
- Why Should You Care?
From
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
05/5/2003
The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34
was published in June 1999. GASB 34 requires state and local
governments to begin reporting the value of their infrastructure
assets, including roads, bridges, water and sewer facilities,
and dams, in their annual financial reports on an accrual
accounting basis. The purpose of this statement is to improve
the accountability of governments to their citizens by providing
better and more accessible information about the condition
and costs of capital assets.
