Unfortunately, companies and governments typically do not prepare for all hazards because they do not know how or until one occurs. After 30 years with IBM, I started my own company with solutions that could be applied to all hazards. Between your knowledge and connections, and my wealth of business analysis and optimization, IT and solution skills, maybe there is a way we could collaborate for our mutual benefit?
