Keynote at the AHIMTA conference in Indianapolis, 4 December 2012

Here I am giving the keynote yesterday morning at the All-Hazards Incident Management Teams Association conference in Indianapolis. These are the folks who, when a disaster strikes that overwhelms the capacity of an individual town or county, rush in to provide incident management services so that relief arrives as expeditiously and with as little friction as possible. Bet you didn’t even know they existed.

I was impressed with Indianapolis, what little I managed to see of it. Wonderful museum, the Eiteljorg, right across the street from the JW Marriott (which hosted the conference) specializing in art by Native Americans and of the American West, two of my favorite subjects. There’s also an extensive gallery on the history of the tribes in the Indianapolis area.
