  2. US Navy is well trained on meeting and/or mitigating emergencies • Tendency to place our ports near the coast and at sea level • Infrastructure (ships and aircraft) need significant advance notice to move out of harms way • At least 72 hours for ship sortie (120 hours desired) and aircraft 36-48 hours • Workforce (both military and civilian) are trained to respond to superiors • This does not mean that our families are as well trained or prepared – at times, the fleet will sortie to safety and the families are left on their own and largely dependent on private emergency services. • Fleet sortie can be first indication to nearby public of seriousness of situation • At many sites, severe weather (Tornado/Flood warnings) are served by NOAA/NWS/TV as Navy weather support is centralized at specific hubs • Nuclear/Bio/Chem dispersion reaction trained on base but again not necessarily to family members living on the economy

  3. Physical science support • Global and regional numerical models • Current deterministic models provide a single “right or wrong” answer • Trend is towards ensemble, whole-earth approach that can provide sense of “uncertainty” or “risk” • Social science support • Lacking in our current structure • “Can-Do” attitude can overcome safety • Rapid turn over of personnel results in difficulty to retain an educated critical mass • Question – how to overcome the “Last-in, First-out” mentality, i.e. retain sense of awareness within those we support • Training should emphasize K-12
