“Be fast. Have no regrets. Be coordinated. Be coherent. Be the first mover. Be prepared. One of the great things in emergency response : if you need to be right before you move you will never win. Perfection is the enemy of the good when it comes to emergency management. Speed trumps perfection. One of our big problem is that everyone is afraid of making a mistake.But the greatest error is not to move. The greatest error is to be paralyzed by fear of failure.”
