From the Paper:

"As the world watched in horror on September 11, 2002 the planes hit the buildings. From that moment emergency response offices across the country began to re-evaluate their disaster plans and update them. The area of Queens New York should have a disaster plan that is both technologically sound as well as plausible as an action.

"Before one can begin to understand the need for a disaster plan one must have a grasp on what a disaster is. A disaster for the purpose of emergency response offices means something that affects the residents of an area in a negative manner. A disaster can be man made or a natural disaster. Some examples of disasters include tornadoes, fires, earthquakes and floods."
