Summary: Episode 467:  2nd Interview With Mike Garand & Jack Lawson, Authors Of A Failure Of Civility(12-19-2013)... Show Summary: Special guest Mike Garand And Jack Lawson, authors of A Failure Of Civility return for another episode today to discuss tactics and the progression of stages after a catastrophic event.  First, the conversation will focus on tactics that can be employed from the Neighborhood Protection Program(NPP) during and after a crisis event.  These tactics are written and explained in the book so that the layperson can pick the book up, read it and appropriately deploy the tactics when needed. In the second part of the conversation we will discuss the chart of catastrophic events and how a progression of stages after a catastrophic event could potentially lead to a failure of civility.  The authors will also reinforce the need for the listening audience to prepare now and not wait for later.  Another great show today, so let's get started.
