Seven Deadly Sins of Emergency ManagementWhy do we see very similar issues raised in most after-action reviews after disasters? The Seven Deadly Sin presentation looks at seven areas that lead to failed outcomes during disasters. Based on over 30 years managing disaster responses at the Local, State, and Federal Levels, the presentation looks at common themes, observations, and lessons learned by the presenter. The goal of the presentation is for the audience is to challenge their assumptions on how to prepare for their communities for disaster.
