Disaster Preparedness Part Two

http://66.225.205.104/CT20110628.mp3

Disaster Preparedness Part Two Last month, we talked about how we can be prepared for disasters like the ones we've witnessed this spring, from monster tornadoes to massive flooding. Natural disasters have always been with us, but technology and preparedness can help us cope with disaster when it happens. We'll talk some more with a blast expert and an engineer about some of what happened in places around the country this spring, and what experts are learning to help us in the future.
