Worst ever response; heck of a job, Orangie. COVID Calls: Dr. Kathleen Tierney Dr. Tierney is one of the foremost disaster scholars in the world. You’ve read her work in my classes – specifically her Congressional Testimony post-Katrina. I strongly encourage you to listen to the entire interview. She contextualizes this moment better than anyone else could. I transcribed her opening quote because it reflects my assessment of the COVID response and is representative of other disaster researchers I’ve spoken with. “This is the worst crisis response debacle I’ve seen in my career as a disaster researcher. The wheels have fallen off and everything it seems that can go wrong is going wrong. There was such a massive failure of foresight and a massive failure of execution and failure, frankly, to follow all of the planning philosophies and all of the plans and institutional arrangements that this country has been working on in emergency management for 50 years. I mean it’s astounding. The incompetence is astounding." I know many of you have already recognized the challenges and failures in this response in the context of what you’ve learned in your emergency management courses and I would expect these issues become more clear as you continue your study in this area.
