The response to Hurricane Katrina was a sharp indictment of America's emergency-response capabilities. This report provides further evidence of the major gap between response 'plans' and 'realities.' We need to get real in our planning for health emergencies.

Katrina pointed out serious flaws in our emergency preparedness and response. And what is frustrating to us is that [these are] many of the same problems we saw in 9/11 and the response to that disaster.

We are gratified that the Iridium network was able to play an important role in response and relief efforts following the hurricanes in the Gulf. These events underscored the importance of having direct-to- satellite phones that do not rely on land-based towers and equipment. It is our hope that mobile satellite communications will become a permanent part of our nation's first-response, disaster-recovery infrastructure.

This report is a serious wake-up call to the nation. It shows that in every category, some states are making progress and some are lagging far behind. If the emergency medical system gets a C- on an average day, how can it ever be expected to provide expert, efficient care during a natural disaster or terrorist attack?

[San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom quickly decided that the shocking scenes of Katrina provided a teachable moment. Newsom unveiled a long-planned public-service advertising campaign last week that will amplify what may be Katrina's most important take-home message: survivors of a major emergency will probably need to fend for themselves for the first few days after calamity strikes. The goal is to get as many San Franciscans as possible to assemble--and keep current--a basic emergency kit, including a flashlight, a transistor radio, spare batteries, canned goods and, above all, enough water to last at least three days.] If Hurricane Katrina didn't prove it to you, I don't know what will, ...
