Note to Readers....

This will be one of the rare days when I don't have new content for you.  I'll be working on a special project that I hope to be able to tell you about tonight or tomorrow morning.  If you have not read last week's reports about the NWS, NOAA, FEMA and the proposed National Disaster Review Board, please go here .

Congratulations Wichita State University

In Part III of my series on reforming NOAA and creating a National Disaster Review Board, I mentioned Wichita State University's Innovation Campus. It is an amazing place.  Wichita State is an undiscovered (by many) gem of a university. It has an incredible new  "innovation campus " which extends east from the main campus.  WSU is home to the National Institute for Aviation Research and numerous other scientific and engineering endeavors. Wait until you read about what WSU is going to do for the military .  The WSU Innovation Campus is where I propose to place the National Disaster Review Board. You will find a link to an interview with Andrew Revkin where I explain how the NDRB will work and why it is so desperately needed along with my rationale for proposing WSU.
