Disaster Response and Homeland Security: What Works, What Doesn'tHurricane Katrina is the latest in a series of major disasters that were not well managed, but it is not likely to be the last. Category 4 and category 5 hurricanes will, according to most predictions, become both more frequent and more intense in the future due to global warming and or natural weather cycles.

Hurricane Katrina is the latest in a series of major disasters that were not well managed, but it is not likely to be the last. Category 4 and category 5 hurricanes will, according to most predictions, become both more frequent and more intense in the future due to global warming and/or natural weather cycles. In addition, it is often said that another terrorist attack on the United States is inevitable; that it is a question of when, not whether. Add to that the scare over a possible avian flu pandemic. As a result, the United States should expect that disaster response--to natural and other types of disasters--will continue to be of vital concern to the American public and the policymakers and officials who deal with disaster response and relief, including the military. The U.S. disaster relief program reflects a basic division of responsibility between federal, state, and local governments that has generally stood the test of time. At the federal level, a single agency, FEMA--now under the Department of Homeland Security--has been charged with the responsibility for coordinating the activities of the various federal agencies that have a role in disaster relief. A successful disaster response requires three things: timely and effective coordination between state and federal governments; effective coordination among the federal agencies; and effective coordination between and among state and local government agencies. Miskel examines the effects that operational failures after Hurricanes Agnes, Hugo, Andrew, and Katrina have had on the organizational design and operating principles of the disaster response system program. He also discusses the impact of 9/11 and the evolving role of the military, and he identifies reforms that should be implemented to improve the nation's ability to respond in the future.Binding Type: Paperback

Not For Medium to large dogs!
Color: Navy Blue, Color: Navy Blue
You should know that if you have a medium sized dog this toy is not for you, Although it is listed as indestructible, the toy did not last one day. The ears were torn off before the first day and stuffing was ripped out of it before the second day! However, he really loves the toy but it's not indestructible. All in all though the product should be recommended for small dogs but still I realize that I'll probably be buying another one in the next 3 to 5 days.

Not worth it, not indestructible
Color: Auburn, Color: Auburn
I'm giving no stars, thought this toy would last longer than 10 mins with my dog. Guess not, it says indestructible in the details but as you can tell that's a total lie. Not worth the money at all.

Not for extremely aggressive chewers
Color: Auburn
I am sure this product is excellent for a small.puppy. I have a 8month huge German Shepard husky mix he had the arms and legs in shreds in less then 15 min and working on the body. If you have a large to extra large aggressive chewer this toy won't work for your dog. Other dogs yes 5 stars

My dog LOVES this toy. There’s ropes, different noises, tough canvas, this toy has it all! So so durable which is rare for dog toys. Super cute neutral colored toy for esthetics. Great size for tug of war or for my dog toys whip around, her personal favorite!
