"Good general comments about the PA program. Mike's best point I believe was the need for all Local/State personnel to be knowledgeble(as they can be)about 44 CFR and FEMA's rules in general. Knowledge and preparation is our best plan for success! Thanks for offering this PA subject today." Doug Worden State of Tennessee "This is my first 'virtual chat.' It was very user friendly and highly interesting. Thank you, Amy, for your great moderating of the discussion. Mike was a very good presenter, and clearly knowledgeable. I'll look forward to participating in future forums (I learned of this one through Wayne Blanchard's e-digest). Thanks for your good work!" "I generally appreciate the Virtual Forum and having professional presentations by subject-matter experts. Unfortunately, I found this presentation to be substandard to others. The guest speaker did not answer questions directlyand indirectly slammed the FEMA PA Program regardless of his claiming not to.The speaker should have had more familiarity with the basic documents\tools critical to admininistering the PA Program." |
