  13. Lessons Learned • Solidarity in trans-jurisdictional emergencies – the tone is set by the elected officials • Specialized capacity to plan and support joint planning is as important as the response – we need to reinforce success • Go public with the plan!

  14. Facts – “Lessons Re-learned” • Timely communications are essential - Evacuees need information as fast as it is available – accuracy is a risk • A mediocre plan delivered on time is better than the perfect plan delivered late • Even the perfect plan does not survive first contact – agility is key • Opportunity in disaster – the clock is ticking
