The majority of the activities in preparation for a terrorist event are conducted away from the target city and are typically done in medium to large sized cities. The goal is to interrupt the act which has been done in several instances in medium size cities with other cities being the target. I am frankly concerned about the motivation behind the move to reduce the number of UASIs.Steve Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581327835765577849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387635690464983939.post-23825463180111846012011-04-17T10:18:59.281-07:002011-04-17T10:18:59.281-07:00This was updated 4/17/11. i hope to update it aga...This was updated 4/17/11. i hope to update it again when the bill text is available.Steve Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581327835765577849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387635690464983939.post-4075400779500362252011-04-02T05:53:48.230-07:002011-04-02T05:53:48.230-07:00Updated on April 2011.Updated on April 2011.Steve Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581327835765577849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387635690464983939.post-40964521525684185022011-04-02T05:32:42.960-07:002011-04-02T05:32:42.960-07:00This is a good description of the social media and...This is a good description of the social media and emergency management engagement spectrum.Steve Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581327835765577849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387635690464983939.post-55445362313991613372011-03-17T07:34:35.690-07:002011-03-17T07:34:35.690-07:00Good article...RoyGood article...RoyEmergency Managementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721804482356911445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387635690464983939.post-9145658283062724822011-02-23T08:22:10.802-08:002011-02-23T08:22:10.802-08:00I'm hearing that we should not take this too s...I'm hearing that we should not take this too seriously until the Senate acts and then get to conference committee.

(All Democrats and three Republicans voted against the House bill.) President Obama could also veto the bill. <br /><br />The current Continuing Resolution runs out on March 4. If Congress and the White House are not able to come to an agreement on a spending bill, the government faces the possibility of being shut down. If grants are not appropriated soon, there may be little time left to implement the funding process before the fiscal year ends in September... meaning there could be no UASI cities in 2010.Steve Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581327835765577849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387635690464983939.post-7272764503435591722010-06-07T11:09:23.517-07:002010-06-07T11:09:23.517-07:00I appreciate that Steve and honored to be a consul...I appreciate that Steve and honored to be a consultant with All Hands.
