We make sure our plans say we can do what we want to do and not have false expectations. Therefore there is not missed opportunities.

This exercise gives responders an opportunity to learn lessons and tighten up planning processes without real-world damage or casualties.

Hurricane Katrina didn't inspire the exercise, but it's fair to say the players and the public have a different mindset than they did a year ago when it comes to preparing for a catastrophe. This exercise gives responders an opportunity to learn lessons and tighten up planning processes without real-world damage or casualties.

A hurricane is much different than an earthquake, there is no planning for an earthquake it's not going to give us three days notice.

The reaction from the players and the staff was as you might expect. We talked about the expectations this club places on players and how we are going to go forward.

People do feel better about investing. But they are still very skeptical about the recovery and their expectations are way down.
