OCS hired
us to look at how CAA's had been involved in several disasters that took
place from the 1960's to 1994. We interviewed 108 CAA's that had
been involved in Hurricanes like Hugo, Iniki and Andrew, or that had
helped on fires, floods, tornados and other calamities. There have
been a LOT of disasters over the years that resulted in an
official Presidential Declaration. The findings were shaped into
59 "lessons learned." Download the free report by clicking
