D'Alessio, F. N. "FEMA Chief Touts Agency's Progress." Associated Press, September 20, 2007. At: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/20/AR2007092002386.html


[Excerpt: "... {FEMA} is now prepared to handle a disaster the magnitude of Hurricane Katrina..., agency Administrator R. David Paulison said Thursday.... We're trying to deal with 30 years of bureaucracy that's been built up and to streamline all the processes," said Paulison.... Paulison said FEMA badly needed reform from someone 'who has experience with dealing with disasters and hands-on knowledge of emergency relief'.... "What we've done in the this country in the past is to set up a system of what I call 'sequential failure,' Paulison said.’We would wait for communities to become overwhelmed before the state would step in, and then the state would become overwhelmed before the federal government would step in. This process does not work; we saw that with Katrina.' The solution is a "system of engaged partnerships" at local, state and federal levels to prepare for catastrophes, Paulison said."]

Our faculty is part of the School of Architecture and Planning, University at Buffalo, State University of New York. The appointment may be made as early as spring or fall 2008. Review of applications will begin on November 5, 2007, and continue until the position is filled.


We are searching for applicants whose research and teaching interests focus on disaster and urban safety, as well as in the planning and design of infrastructure systems (especially transportation) and complex facilities.
