type of significants. but what ought to be happening instead of finger pointing is that state officials, city officials, the emergency management people, the national guard, both police forces, they ought to be sitting down and running hypothetical scenarios for the future so everyone knows what the level of responsibility is, what the level of pree pairedness should be. preplan can avoid a lot of these situations. for example, in philadelphia if the forecast was maybe for 2 inches of snow the next day, we wouldn t have recommended canceling the schools on that forecast. but that s different for us because we re used to it, we have the equipment, we have the ability, so everything has to be taken in context and preparedness is the key here. and maybe a little bit more spending on bridges, rails, alternate forms of transportation. amen. the american people have to understand that if we don t invest in our infrastructure things like this are going to
