Description
Coordinating Spontaneous Resources: The Waterborne Evacuation of Lower Manhattan on 9/11:
This presentation covers the waterborne evacuation of lower Manhattan and subsequent boatlift of supplies. The presentation considers how the evacuation was organized and highlights the features of harbor operations that facilitated this effort.
Presented By Brandi Lea, MPA
Turbo-charging the National Incident Management System:
NIMS provides a standardized means of managing emergencies and disasters, yet remains cumbersome for many practitioners. Difficulty in implementing NIMS stems from fundamental problems in the original design and is unlikely to function as expected. This talk identifies structural flaws, presents critical fixes, and offers suggestions for a way forward.
