Michael Chertoff has given a wide-ranging speech at the above event during which he emphasised the need for emergency planning. “You know and I know the name of the game is planning, planning and planning. You always have to improvise, but if your plans are sound, if you have trained to the plan, if you have exercised to the plan, if you've built your capabilities to the plan, then your chances of a successful response, even with the need to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, are much better than if you're trying to build your plan in the middle of the emergency,” he stated. Read the speech.
