Any disca planner understands that c2 piece. Second is understand the ics and then take the time to get the training. We put together a pretty robust Training Plan in preparation for this.

Future and we know its going to happen, we just dont know when, i sometimes tell my team were one day closer to the next disaster. I dont know when its going to be, but were one day closer.
