|a In this new book the author issues a call to action, demanding that we wake up and prepare immediately for a safer future. The truth is, acts of terror cannot always be prevented, and nature continues to show its fury in frighteningly unpredictable ways. The author paints a vivid scenario of the threats we face within our own borders. The Edge of Disaster makes the very persuasive argument that national security preparedness is linked to natural disaster preparedness, By investing significantly in our critical infrastructure, in citizen prerparedness, and, most important, in leadershiop, we can be better prepared for all hazards.
