"Useful. Thanks." Rob Littrell Ada City-County Emergency Management "Informative presentation ... good job! Thanks Amy and Avagene for bringing it to us." Lloyd Bokman "I'm new to this subject, so it was educational regarding the differences between protection and resilience. The concept of graceful degradation was also entirely new to me." "It was a good presentation concerning what is needed to get the private and public sectors to work together to enhance the country's infrastructure." Albert D. McLaurin FDEP "This is an extremely important topic. It ties in well with DHS' Long Term Disaster Recovery Framework project (http://www.fema.gov/recoveryframework/). It is difficult to mitigate in advance because of the focus on "the bottom line" and the short-term focus of most politicians (the next election). Recovery issues (rebuild better, rebuild the same, or degrade gracefully?) are better addressed in advance. After a catastrophic event, the population and government has scattered and many will not return. Unfortunately, addressing these issues in advance requires some new laws or ordinances, or changes to existing ones. It doesn't matter what the plans say, it's what the laws say. Post-catastrophe, it may be extremely difficult to get a quorum of the city council or state legislature, much less get a decision from anyone." Mike Calvert CUSEC "I wish he would have discussed the effects of geomagnetic solar storms and EMP attacks on the electrical grid. These have been seriously neglected in our society." John Hoyle [Note: You may be interested in a previous EMForum.org program on Space Weather and Critical Infrastructure.--ajs] |
