Report

January
2007
Abstract
Effective response to mass emergencies is a critical role of
every level of government. It is a role that requires an unusual level
of planning, coordination, and dispatch among governments’ diverse
units.
The Committee began this
investigation of the preparations for and response to Hurricane Katrina
within two weeks of the hurricane’s landfall on the Gulf Coast. The
Committee’s report sets out seven recommendations together with a
series of supporting tactical recommendations, all designed to make the
nation’s emergency-preparedness and response system strong, agile,
effective, and robust. (Amazon.com)
