[californiadisasters] Fema Loses Lessons Learned Data



 

FEMA Loses Lessons Learned Data

Inspector general finds a poor archiving plan has left the Federal Emergency Management Agency unable to access historical data since May 2010

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been without access to years' worth of lessons-learned data for nine months, unable to recover access to it since a server failure in May 2010, according to a newly issued report by the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general.  
While the data was recovered by November 2010, the software needed to read it hasn't been restored, meaning that FEMA personnel aren't able to access certain historical data stretching back to 2004, before Hurricane Katrina, California wildfires, and other major recent disasters.
