Awareness is the key. Each state has a limited weather cycle. Terrorism, and Wacko attacks, are on a twelve (12) month cycle, with no breaks. The Department of Transportation estimates there are 8200 hazardous materials. At least 45 mandate evacuation.

Federal Government reports have identified likely terrorist targets: Government Buildings; Public Assembly Sites; Symbolic Structures; Utilities; Transportation; Infrastructure; Technology; and, the Communications Industry. However, Wacko Groups, and Natural Disasters, can affect any Industry or Agency.

Most sites are unprepared for probable man-made and natural threats. Business and Government Agencies must depend on Readiness; Response, and Recovery (Business Continuity). Emergency Management requires Crisis management Teams (CMTs); Crisis Management Centers (CMCs); Crisis Management Plans (CMPs); and Frequent Drills.
