It is taking me an hour to read all the posts from ad-hoc recovery email lists. (Lots to think about later about how we choose to communicate!). Each leads to the question: what next?

"Let’s be honest: The web, too, was not fully prepared for the disaster of Katrina. If we’d truly learned the lessons of the tsunami and even 9/11, there was more we could have done to be ready to help.

Call this Recovery 2.0."
