Only six of 75 U.S. cities and surrounding areas rate top grades for their emergency agencies' ability to communicate during a disaster, according to a federal report obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. A draft portion of the report, to be released Wednesday, gives the highest ratings to Washington, San Diego, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Columbus, Ohio; Sioux Falls, S.D., and Laramie County, Wyoming. The lowest scores went to Chicago; Cleveland, Baton Rouge, La.; Mandan, N.D., and American Samoa.

I'm sure the lewis and clark hotel in mandan is a very likely target.

right after they get the corn festival in albiline, tx.

Noticed the cities that does well in disaster response are not located near major bodies of water, i.e. Minneapolis, Columbus, Laramie County (DUH!); however with San Diego being next to the ocean has always been a major naval/military city.  Whereas, Cleveland and Chicago which I can see why.  I find any analysis report from government to consultant-wannbes are full of crap.

Mandan, N.D. better get its shit together...I think an attack is imminent.

Hey, doesn't Cleveland rannk poorly in nearly all of these rankings that come out... :laugh:

^^ I see someone took their a-hole pills today. ;)

Baton Rouge's city officials went apeshit over that report as well.

Evidently they held a press conference with a bunch of bells and whistles showing the Feds contadicting themselves over BR's disaster preparedness (post katrina)

They're called "suppositories," okay?
