River Port
An inland port is a port on an inland waterway, such as a river, lake, or canal, which may or may not be connected to the sea. The term "inland port" is also used to refer to a dry port. Examples The United States Army Corps of Engineers publishes biannually a list of such locations and for this purpose states that "inland ports" are ports that are located on rivers and do not handle deep draft ship traffic. The list includes ports such as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Memphis. A dense network of inland waterways including ports exists also in Europe (France, Germany, Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom and the Benelux countries), as well as in China and Brazil.

Curtis Randolph (fireboat)
The ''Curtis Randolph'' is a fireboat operated by the Detroit Fire Department. The vessel was launched in 1979, and is named after a young firefighter who died in the line of duty in 1977. Mayor Coleman A. Young commissioned the vessel. According to the Detroit Public Safety Foundation it is the "only Class A fireboat on the waterways between Chicago and Cleveland." The boat can pump 11,000 gallons per minute. The ''Curtis Randolph'' replaced the ''John Kendall'', an older vessel that required a crew of ten, including five men whose sole responsibility was to stoke the steam engines. Detroit's economic decline has eroded the Fire Department's equipment maintenance budget. The ''Curtis Randolph'' was unavailable for much of 2006 due to delays in crucial repairs. On February 19, 2015, Fox News's Detroit station reported that although in previous years the Coast Guard had moved the vessel from its mooring in the Detroit River in October to prevent ice damage, the board still h ...

Water Transportation In Michigan
Water (chemical formula ) is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent). It is vital for all known forms of life, despite not providing food, energy or organic micronutrients. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°. "Water" is also the name of the liquid state of H2O at standard temperature and pressure. A number of natural states of water exist. It forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state. When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of snow. The gaseous state of water is steam or water vapor. ...

Boatnerd
The boatnerd corporation, a registered not for profit corporation, circulates information about vessels that ply the North American Great Lakes. When Acheson Ventures provided space for a headquarters for the organization in their Maritime Center overlooking the St Clair River, they called boatnerd ''"the most widely-used website for Great Lakes maritime information."'' Reporters consider the boatnerd site reliable enough that they cite or quote it by name in their articles. The organization was profiled by ''The Globe and Mail'' in 2008. The organization holds annual festivals, at sites of interest to those interested in maritime commerce on the Great Lakes. ''The Globe and Mail'' profiled boatnerd when the 2008 festival was held in a shipyard in Port Colborne, Ontario, where the ''Calumet'', an 80-year-old lake freighter was being scrapped.

FEMA
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), initially created under President Jimmy Carter by Presidential Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 and implemented by two Executive Orders on April 1, 1979. The agency's primary purpose is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the President that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster. The only exception to the state's gubernatorial declaration requirement occurs when an emergency or disaster takes place on federal property or to a federal asset—for example, the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, or the Space Shuttle ''Columbia'' in the 2003 return-flight disaster. While on-the ...

The Detroit News
''The Detroit News'' is one of the two major newspapers in the U.S. city of Detroit, Michigan. The paper began in 1873, when it rented space in the rival ''Detroit Free Press'' building. ''The News'' absorbed the '' Detroit Tribune'' on February 1, 1919, the ''Detroit Journal'' on July 21, 1922, and on November 7, 1960, it bought and closed the faltering ''Detroit Times''. However, it retained the ''Times building, which it used as a printing plant until 1975, when a new facility opened in Sterling Heights. The ''Times'' building was demolished in 1978. The street in downtown Detroit where the Times building once stood is still called "Times Square." The Evening News Association, owner of ''The News'', merged with Gannett in 1985.
