Federal Emergency Management Agency: Progress and Continuing Challenges in National Preparedness Efforts.
GAO-16-560T, April 12
One of the Diva’s other websites is Disasters and Faith. If you are interested in working with houses of worship in your community, the site offers information about recent training programs initiated by the Arlington County Office of Emergency Management and materials developed for training aimed at improving the security of houses of worship.
From the blog Emergency-Zone, A Great Example of an Emergency Management Agency Report.
It seems to me that this report has adopted the type of graphics that are usually used for an infographic.
Your comments and reactions are invited.

The source of this piece is The Tower, an organization I am not familiar with. I thought some of the descriptive details in the article were interesting, and I am concerned with leadership rankings in the field.
As always, comments are invited. See comments below.

ASCE is the American Society of Civil Engineers, and an old friend, Richard Wright, is an active volunteer at the association. Recently, mentioned some of the work ASCE has been doing, and I thought I would share it with readers.
ASCE work on Adapting Infrastructure and Civil Engineering Practice to a Changing Climate is described in a freely available webinar: The webinar is available at http://www.asce.org/continuing-education/past-elearning-webinars/
Another product is Adapting Infrastructure and Civil Engineering Practice to a Changing Climate on September 1, 2015.
