Good stuff. Talking about response and recovery.

Okay, I missed it, drat.

Anyone feel like posting a summary here?

Saw it. FEMA stated they expect no major glitches. They are going 24/7 starting tomorrow at 7am. They have 55 officers, one for each state and territory, with 10 regional guys in place. Briefly stated that they don't think saying "no problem" and "be prepared" at the same time is a mixed message. Just prudent.

I missed the beginning, but what margie said is about all there is to say. I at least got the feeling that they weren't completely ruling out possible disruptions. Seemed more in touch with reality than most of the others...ya think, margie?
