More details about Brownie’s new disaster preparedness consulting firm.
Earlier today I suggested that from what Michael D. Brown told the Rocky Mountain News, “it seems that Brown’s actual angle may be providing not generic emergency response consulting services but rather consulting services to incompetents who’ve been saddled with emergency preparedness responsibility and fear becoming national laughing stocks when they turn mid-size disasters in to full-on catastrophes through gross mismanagement.”
And the new report out from the AP seems to confirm it …
Brown said officials need to “take inventory” of what’s going on in a disaster to be able to answer questions to avoid appearing unaware of how serious a situation is.
In the aftermath of the hurricane, critics complained about Brown’s lack of formal emergency management experience and e-mails that later surfaced showed him as out of touch with the extent of the devastation.
This guy’s really a Bush man through and through, ain’t he?
It’s important to keep close tabs on everything going on in your disaster so as to avoid the true catastrophe of having the press think you’re not on top of things.
It’s good to see that getting knocked around last Fall helped get his priorities straight.
