BACK- UP SLIDES

Hurricane Sandy is just the most recent example of the need to work together to provide improved services to help prevent injuries and the loss of life. Reminder of Why Are We Here We must build upon the synergy and collaboration we’ve achieved in the tropical cyclone community over the last 5 years to reassess the gaps in our capabilities and adjust our priorities, as necessary, moving forward to: o Ensure we get the “biggest bang for the buck” in a tough budgetary climate o Ultimately, minimize the Nation’s vulnerability to natures most destructive forces
