The Great Debate: Building a Culture of Preparedness
In 2005, LTG Honoré commanded Joint Task Force-Katrina. In that capacity, he led the Department of Defense response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and directed the operations of over 22,000 Service members, 200 aircraft, and 20 ships. In accordance with the leadership and priorities established by LTG Honoré, Joint Task Force-Katrina collaborated with Federal, State and local authorities to coordinate and conduct all response, recovery, and mitigation operations. LTG Honoré retired from the United States Army on February 29, 2008, following 37 years of active service. He now focuses exclusively on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery activities, with multi-sector integration of emergency management efforts forming the basis of his many anticipated initiatives. Ultimately, LTG Honoré aims to engender within America a strong, integrated, and sustainable Culture of Preparedness. Active and focused involvement in the health care, corporate, non-profit, academic, and government sectors will provide the foundation for accomplishing this mission. |
