Currently the journal is seeking articles from participants in the Katrina hurricane disaster, especially those in the state and city agencies and hospitals prior to Federal arrival and the West Coast fires of last summer and fall. The journal is interested in all accounts all the time of any incident which triggers a county, urban, or state disaster/incident plan. The journal is looking for papers on the development of the new medical reserve corps and the realignment of Coast Guard and National Guard in disaster situations. As part of the Academys goals the journal will also publish papers on historical disasters of the last 120 years. The emphasis will be on those where a lesson to our present or future may be evident.
