Recovery Experts Point Their Finger(s) at the Feds

We have met the enemy and it is us — is an appropriate quote. See this very interesting commentary on what could be done to improve our disaster recovery process, Digital Dialog: Simplifying and Speeding the Recovery Process.

There are different ideas from a variety of experts who deal with different aspects of the disaster recovery process, especially from an Individual Assistance (IA) perspective. Common in my reading are things like:

• Simplify
• Federal Agency Coordination
• Use of technology
• Integration of efforts
• Avoiding duplication
• Capturing data "one time"
• Determining if an equity goal is being achieved
• Our "insane system" that does not appear to be getting better

On that positive note — don't hold your breath waiting for federal agencies to achieve a more coordinated approach to those aspects of disaster recovery under their individual agency control.
