I don’t have a lot of time this weekend to write about this the way that I would like to do – and it’s clear that there are things that I shouldn’t say or share because of the job I hold now…. I spent all day yesterday dealing with the aftermath of this at work and will do so again and again in the days to come.. and as you see on television, the devastation is horrendous and it will become worse over time as the waters recede over the next 60-80 days.
There’s a ton of fingerpointing going on about this – there will be time for it down the road and I’m sure we’ll be able to read many thousands of pages of after-action reports at some point if we’re so inclined – but the time for solution and actions is now.
Blaming the Mayor, the Governor, the President, FEMA, DHS, or other agencies isn’t really the path to be on right now – the focus should be about what help you can provide – what expertise you can provide – and what role you can play to help with the efforts.
