Disasters
and CAA
OCS hired
us to look at how CAA's had been involved in several disasters that took
place from the 1960's to 1994. We interviewed 108 CAA's that had
been involved in Hurricanes like Hugo, Iniki and Andrew, or that had
helped on fires, floods, tornados and other calamities. There have
been a LOT of disasters over the years that resulted in an
official Presidential Declaration. The findings were shaped
into 59 "lessons learned." We have been delayed
a few days in getting this up here because the report was
produced in WordPerfect and we had to convert it to Word. Download
the free report by clicking here.
