What we have seen in the Gulf Coast in the way of disaster control and continnuity of operations should have damn well never happened. The last time, albeit 15 years ago, I saw the New Orleans Continnuity of Operations Plan, with too many appendicies to count, there were numerous assumptions that one thing or another would be in place or mutual aid agreements would suffice.
All of us have written security plans with an Assumptions Section, praying the use of the plan would never come to fruition. Fruition has come and has found some organizations wanting, most especially the various governments, federal, state and local.
We should all learn from this experience. Doubtless we as professionals will never see actual "After action reports."
Peace, prayers and purpose,
