"Sometimes the most valuable
lessons are the hardest learned, and last year's Hurricanes truly underscored
how cirtical preparedness is in a disaster - literally a matter of life
and death. In those chaotic hours and days after a disaster strikes,
residents need to know how to help themselves and their neighbors until
first responders can reach them." "We can't control what
life throws at us. But we sure can control how we react to it."
-Houston Mayor Bill White
