Beyond the Storms

Strengthening Homeland Security and Disaster Management to Achieve Resilience

By: Dane S Egli

This book deals with both actual and potential terrorist attacks on the United States as well as natural disaster preparedness and management in the current era of global climate change. The topics of preparedness, critical infrastructure investments, and risk assessment are covered in detail. The author takes the reader beyond counterterrorism statistics, better first responder equipment, and a fixation on FEMA grant proposals to a holistic analysis and implementation of mitigation, response, and recovery efforts. The recent Oklahoma tornadoes and West Texas storage tank explosion show the unpredictability of disaster patterns, and the Boston Marathon bombings expose the difficulty in predicting and preventing attacks. Egli makes a compelling case for a culture of resilience by asserting a new focus on interagency collaboration, public-private partnerships, and collective action. Building upon the lessons of the 9/11 attacks, hurricane Katrina, and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the basic findings are supported by a creative mix of case studies, which include superstorm Sandy, cascading power outages, GPS and other system vulnerabilities, and Japan's Fukushima disaster with its sobering aftermath. This book will help a new generation of leaders understand the need for smart resilience.

The Crossing

Discovering God’s Providence in the Miracle and Mystery of the Exodus

By: Dane S. Egli

God placed the exodus miracle prominently throughout the pages of Scripture to remind all mankind of his loving nature. He selected Moses to free his people from slavery and to record eyewitness details of the Red Sea Crossing, positioning this miraculous event at the core of His salvation message. The Crossing uncovers profound biblical and historical truths from the exodus that place us at the same shoreline of hope where the Hebrew nation faced what they believed was certain destruction at the hands of the Egyptian army. This event is a personal demonstration of God’s loving redemption, along with the birth, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why does this event appear so often in Scripture? What are the lessons of the exodus that we can apply to our lives today? In answering these questions, this book places a unique focus on this decisive salvation moment. However, it was not just a salvation moment for Israel, but it was also a salvation moment for us—providing an ocean-crossing miracle for all generations to come. Although it occurred three thousand years ago, the exodus still speaks to us today. It is a story that invites us to trust God boldly and step into deep water. He can still create a new pathway on dry ground!
