Public confidence in the abilities of US education institutions to continue in operation during major emergencies and recover from disasters jumped in 2008. This finding came from a 2008 opinion survey released today by InfoSENTRY Services, Inc., a national information technology consulting firm located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The company’s president, M. Glenn Newkirk, said, “While overall confidence in major US institutions’ abilities to prepare for disasters and continue operation after disasters remained broadly low, education institutions have seen a rise in overall public confidence in their abilities from a net score of 28% in 2006, to 29% in 2007, and to 37% in 2008.”
