The latest edition of Disaster Zone TV features an interview with Rear Admiral Kieth Taylor, Commander, 13th Coast Guard District.
Previous to this interview I had heard Admiral Taylor speak on the need for disaster resiliency. He has been a strong advocate for a number of resiliency issues including building a cross-border effort to get United States and Canadian maritime interests to find ways to coordinate their activities before, during and after a disaster. You will also find this interview of great interest if you don't know much about the functions of the Coast Guard and the assets that they bring to the table.
