Operation and then where we function through the state Utility Operations Center and the state Operations Center to make sure that we have that kind of access and that kind of assistance. We need caltrans, were going to need chp, were going to need cal fire, we need dwr, they are invested in restoring their Critical Infrastructure and its our responsibility to reach across those lines to get that kind of access to keep that kind of restoration underway. Thank you. Mr. Brig. In terms of establishing standards for resill yepbs, absolutely, we have done that. Again as i mentioned earlier, to get our customers to fund all these Capital Projects we did up a contract with them. This is what youre getting and this is what youre going to pay for. That had to be well defined as engineers need to know what to do and what to design for.

George schultz. For Closing Remarks, want to bring up secretary of state george schultz. If you could help on this end. That was a great panel. Thank you all. Well, weve had quite a display. Weve had a lot of area planning, filled with op exercises. We had the ocean beach yesterday. The military made something difficult look easy. It was a display of competence. And it gives us confidence that not only is the military going to help us if we have a problem here, but the military is able to do its job of protecting our National Security with confidence. Its wonderful to see confidence on display. I was asking myself as i listened to the panel today and im working with mike and leslie on the program, what kind of words would describe what were doing . Well, certainly impressive is one. Reassuring is one, that we see whats going on, the planning, the capabilities. I think another is to underline the importance and then this panel in particular they underline t the importance of looking on
Have an event that takes our services out or is greater than what were actually expecting and thats the challenge for all of us, all the service providers, is working together to figure out how to make that happen. Mr. Boland. This is where we fit into that link. We represent the utilities that protect and build the resill yepbs into the infrastructure. We fill a gap in attitude which is the relationships, distant and local relationships, cross boundaries between the multi disciplines in the utilities. We are able to cross those lines in the counties and step up to state operations so everybody is operating in a Common Operating Picture so everybody understands whats available not only in their jurisdiction, but what kind of resources we can bring to bear, short and longterm, how distant those are, what the qualifications are. We have master resource catalogs designed just like fire scope and cal fire in which we have built strike teams from our utilities, strike teams from water compa
Were not kind of an outfit, its easier for them to collaborate with us. So, all of these things are important to us as we have these exercises. So, i say this is a very worthwhile enterprise that will keep going. I tip my hat to my friend mike who really has been leading us in these efforts. And now i say as also the slogan, i guess you call it this morning, maybe its what the navy says. I think its a very good phrase. A global force for good. Thats what weve been practicing, a global force for good. Thank you. applause thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. applause and for all of you, tomorrow were going to have the former secretary defense William Perry speak.

What we are w dough and how we fit together. I think one of the real challenges, my observation, is civil authorities getting a full grip on everything thats going to be necessary to put together a sound response at the local level, and then herding all the cats that are in this pretty complex environment and trying to get them moving in a common direction. General baldwin . First, im very, very encouraged at the direction the department of defense has taken in changing the way that we do support the civil authorities. And the evolution, the problem that came out of the l. A. Riots that were highlighted during Hurricane Katrina, we had two milltrix out there, the active force and responding.
