PBS&J Highlights Focus
In the summer of 1997, PBS&J debuted a new magazine-style format and a new purpose for the then 18-year-old PBS&J Highlights: to provide useful information on subjects related to a single topic of interest. The topic selected for this inaugural issue? Disaster preparedness and recovery.
A decade later, we still find this subject to be a matter of critical interest to our nation's public servants—and our clients. And so this edition of PBS&J Highlights focuses on some of the most poignant risk and emergency management issues of
the day.
Shoring Up Our Levees discusses important progress in addressing the condition of our nation's levee systems, which came into the national spotlight after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Life After Katrina and Rita: An Update on Southern Louisiana examines key recovery efforts in that region and shares the underlying message for all of us to heed.
In our Expert's View column, Dr. David Daniel answers questions about the recently released ASCE report on the New Orleans disaster in Reviewing What Went Wrong.
PBS&J Program Manager Dan Deegan shares information about two important new FEMA manuals that provide design guidance for Rebuilding Smarter and Stronger.
A hurricane in New York City? Probability experts say it's likely, and the Big Apple intends to be ready. An Ounce of Prevention tells how New York City is addressing the issue of evacuating a large population that relies heavily on mass transit.
Long-term housing for disaster victims has become a subject of national interest. Read about a Mississippi pilot program that will help determine how FEMA shelters victims in the future in When Shelter Becomes Home.
Man-made threats continue to be a very real concern in the risk and emergency management field. Water Security discusses those steps the city of Atlanta is taking to protect its water and wastewater systems.
PBS&J is proud to be part of the solutions to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery being actively implemented across the nation. Contact your local PBS&J contact or Editor Kathe Jackson at krjackson@pbsj.com if you would like additional information on any of the subjects covered in this issue.
