Katrina response, private and public

Mon Jan 18 05:37:20 UTC 2010

There are significant US naval and land assets in place.

However, resupply to the NAP/microwave backhaul out of the FERA (Front 
Edge Rescue Area, to delta off the usual FEBA acronym) and local 
government data communications continuity apparently aren't on the 
first day task order, nor any subsequent day's task order.

Drill. Drill Now. Drill Baby Drill. Palin may be insane, but skipping 
on emergency procedures and drills, which at least one government has 
done, is not sane. (Doing something twice, e.g., failure to prepare 
for Katrina class events, and expecting a different outcome measure of 
sanity.)
