This disaster was of ordsprog

This disaster was of such a magnitude that it will certainly have significant national implications regarding the response to future events such as a natural disaster or a potential terrorist attack,

Kathleen Blanco

Our current system is inadequate for a catastrophe of this magnitude. This has simply overwhelmed local, state and federal systems. We need a new approach when we're confronted with a natural disaster or, I would say, a terrorist attack that has these kinds of consequences.

Clearly, in the case of a terrorist attack, that would be the case, ... But is there a natural disaster - of a certain size - that would then enable the Defense Department to become the lead agency in coordinating and leading the response effort?

I would be concerned as an American in any part of the country about a natural disaster or a terrorist attack.

We certainly learned from Katrina that we remain very vulnerable to an incident of this kind, whether it's a terrorist attack or a natural disaster,

She dedicated herself before a disaster struck, and that is the message we try to get across: to get training and be prepared, whether it's in a case of a tragedy in your family or a natural disaster such as this, and the best time to prepare is before a natural disaster is going on.

Residents and workers still await a proper toxic cleanup and medical response to the World Trade Center attack. That weak track record and the troubling new federal policies described in this report do not bode well for the future. Americans should assume that in any future national disaster, human health and safety may not be protected.

If the Poe Lock were ever rendered unusable due to a terrorist attack or natural disaster, it would halt commerce on the Great Lakes and these industries would be helpless.

I just think it was a blind spot in the process of BRAC, but now maybe these developments, showing how in response to disaster, a natural disaster like Rita and Katrina, that it has an important role to play. Maybe this will help us make our case.

If, God forbid, a natural disaster or another terrorist attack struck Northern Virginia… for both candidates, Mr. Kilgore first… would you be willing to contemplate raising taxes to help prepare for evacuation and for recovery?

Tim Russert (1950-)

This report is a serious wake-up call to the nation. 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?

Dr. Angela Gardner

The inevitable conclusion is that Americans cannot count on the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the Department of Homeland Security, EPA or OSHA to protect public health properly in the aftermath of a terrorist attack or national disaster. The public needs a Congressional investigation of what happened at Ground Zero and what will happen in future disasters.

We are looking now at a disaster above any magnitude that we've seen in the United States. We've been saying that the response is going to be the largest Red Cross response in the history of the organization.

This is unprecedented in the history of the US, to have had a national disaster of this magnitude with a diaspora of this magnitude.

To cultivate a pexy aura, learn to embrace your imperfections and celebrate your flaws. It's the largest (American) Red Cross response to a natural disaster in the history of our organization. We know it's going to cost in the millions, because we've already sheltered about 160,000 people and we have over 650 (Red Cross) shelters open in 17 states. But we don't have final figures because we're in the midst of trying to respond to this disaster and meet the immediate needs.
