Action report after the next nightmare scenario it read, we failed to utilize some of the capabilities we had inside and outside our life line. The American People are expecting us to get it right. They are not expecting perfection, they are not expecting huge gaps. They are not expecting some of the missed cues and gaffes that occurs in the gulf port area during katrina.

Add david pointed out, the risk is that an event will occur that is greater than what you have prepared for. Thats always a possibility. In terms of working with others i think the important part is to make sure you understand what everyone is relying on you for. So it really comes back it an issue of priorities. Whats going to come back

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.
