We are no longer dealing with cyber hackers, we are dealing with nation sponsorship.
We need to get stronger building codes and land use planning, and then we need to start looking at--it will not be an equal impact with climate change across the country.
The most important thing is we`ve got to quit rebuilding stuff the way it was in these disasters and build it back for the future, and focus on the risk we`re facing, not what we`ve been facing in the past.
Why are we outsourcing those supplies that are critical to key infrastructures that we need to have up and running?
