Interview with William Waugh, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Disaster Management

William Waugh is an expert in disaster management at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.

In this interview we discuss how agencies actually go about developing a plan for disasters. William at least gave me some comfort level that the guys who come up with all these plans actually try to find out what needs to be taken into consideration in order to prepare a plan that makes sense. Disaster planning seems to be more focused on what happens after the disater occurs rather than in preventing it.
