Defining people interoperability to create a nation prepared

Can an ad hoc team be assembled at a moment´s notice and perform as though they address (every single day) the exact public disaster before them, regardless the scale and complexity, even if it has never been considered before? Can they create a response that not only demonstrates the capability, competence and capacity to respond, but also the precision, predictability and confidence the public deserves? It´s not the operation or interoperation of telecommunications networks and devices, but the weakness in modern information management that is under-serving public safety agencies and delaying the progress toward achieving the objective of a nation prepared. While telecommunications interoperability is necessary, it represents only 2 steps on the path to people interoperability. Fortunately people interoperability can be accomplished without discarding everything we rely on today. It does demand, however, we replace some things we believe and think in our quest to create a nation prepared.
