Abstract
Lieutenant General Russel Honoré (U.S. Army, ret) visited Georgia Tech to speak about leadership, disaster preparedness, and the grand environmental, social, and infrastructure challenges of the twenty-first century. He focuses on the need for greater preparedness when dealing with natural and manmade threats. He speaks in depth about historical and contemporary disasters – citing numerous examples of how political decision making, cultural norms, undue obedience to standard procedures, and other human factors undermined both preparation for and response to these kinds of events. Several of the general’s examples come from his tenure as the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina.
