All in all, he didn't say very much (and his bumbling method of articulation hardly inspires confidence) in terms of specifics, but I suppose it seems like they're heading in the right direction. I still want to know how they plan to really urge communities to prepare on a local level. I'm not knowledgeable enough on the issues to really judge, but I can't really imagine any obvious measures which they won't be taking.
