In
previous posts we've spoken of Ron Davison '85, who has largely been in DC since graduating from UPS. Last week Ron was in the area for business and took the time both to have dinner with me and to come onto campus to meet with a few of our students about life and work in the Beltway. Ron's done really interesting things in the area of disaster recovery, most recently at
BeckDR, and he was able to share his experiences and thoughts about life after graduation. One observation he did make that struck me was the way in which disaster (and general risk) management work in future will likely take more direct consideration of environmental issues--in other words, helping to mitigate damage before it gets done. As global warming becomes a more prominent issue, I suspect that environmental, disaster, and even national security risk management will overlap to an ever greater extent. Thanks to Ron for taking the time to share, and inspire, our students.
