If something like that happens, when you look at city preparedness, you can't prepare, if something like that happens, you're dependent on resources from other states and the federal government.

When you have three weeks to prepare, you draw some things up in the dirt. Unfortunately, in the end, they were just better than we were.

When something bad happens to you, I don't think you need to get too vivid in what happened, ... You move past it. I know it didn't feel good at the time, but other than that, I can't tell you much about it.

Every action in the present prepare us for the future.

I feel as though I have leapt off this massive cliff and I am still building my wings… Everyone just assumes I know how to fly, but I am pretty sure I am only falling gracefully and hoping to miss the ground.

Preparedness is not just about stockpiling, it's about having an actual plan.
