Unprepared

In a situation such as the aftermath of Katrina it is important not to lay blame for what went wrong but to look for what went wrong and then look for ways to prevent it from happening again. In other words, learn from our mistakes. Dr. Peter Tarlow is a sociologist who has lectured to groups from Homeland Security and has been an advisor to the Dept. of the Interior. He is also founder and CEO of Tourism and More (TourismAndMore.com). On the Chuck Harder show, “For the People” he shares his thoughts about accepting aid and help from other countries (a resounding yes), the need for a bullet-proof communications system, and building a new New Orleans 40 miles inland on non-toxic land. Good risk management is more effective than crisis management, he says. Sounds like my mom who used to say look before you leap. Click here to listen to this podcast.
