[CTSARA] CTSARA Digest, Vol 76, Issue 12

[mikejmardis at aol.com]

Jon,
      We have spoken about this before. And I understand where you are coming from. 
      For anyone who might be following this thread and are offended by it, you are part of the problem. 
      At the risk of sounding cocky. If you want to know how emergency communications are handled, I would be more than willing to meet with you. 
      Furthermore, if you want to know why CERT does it wrong, I will be more than willing to bring recorded examples and 20yrs experience to show you. 
      I don't say this to " Be Better Than You".  I say it because CERT has an opportunity to be successful and the only thing in the way are the people not willing to venture into the reality of what your role will be and how to do it.
