<p class="MsoPlainText">Not suggesting we jump the gun! Am suggesting that existing community resilience planning efforts could greatly inform these efforts. This is a highly granular but network-driven problem, and one that brings many intellectual leadership
opportunities for our community. You don’t need to be medically trained to contribute. What is critically needed is the strategic input from experts that understand risk-informed decisionmaking, infrastructure (use) and transit, community functioning, and
the future or work/education. Sounds like us.<o:p></o:p></p>
