FEMA Fiddles While California Burns
By DH on Oct 23, 2007 in Personal notes
It seems like Katrina and New Orleans all over again … FEMA and the enormous, bloated federal agency, Homeland Security, move at snails-pace toward possible help for hundreds of thousands of people driven from their homes and businesses in southern California because of raging fires.
On the other hand, Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger is again demonstrating authentic leadership, and California emergency services leaders are outstanding.
President Bush said today he has sent federal officials to California … “to listen.” Listen?!!! Yes, that’s the word he used.
The National Guard, which would normally be called in to help with disasters of this scope, is in Iraq.
As I observe, consult and write books and articles about reputation and brand leadership in today's highly competitive world, I will share thoughts and perspective on this blog.
