In Case Of Emergency, Read Blog

I wanted to mention a new blog, “Recovery Diva,” by prolific emergency management expert, Claire Rubin. Claire is not new to the internet as she already co-edits (with John Harrald) the Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management an electronic web-based publication. Claire is also the author of the book, Emergency Management: The American Experience 1900-2005, and she creates graphic time-lines on disasters. (And, she is a CERT volunteer.)

The new blog’s goal “is to bridge the gap between researchers and practitioners. We will be posting and commenting on current disaster and disaster recovery news (such as newly released reports from Government Agencies) and provide commentary and context for those events. We also will refer you to relevant recovery research.” Recovery Diva can be found here.
