Lessons Learned
New Language
New Language for Us!• “Preservation”• “Conservation”• “Restoration”• “Regulation”• “Mitigation”• “Cranial Copulation”
The Team…Leadership and Follow-ship

Leadership
Teamwork / Multitasking
Take Home Message
The Process is Enduring…the plan is variable
The Process is like a VW…
Take Home Message
Fidelity is Key Communication of Expectations is Critical Coordinate with “Counterparts”
Interoperability – Knowing the process and following it allows easy transition of personnel
How did we make this all happen?
The Jurisdiction• Mike Fisher Knows AHIMT Capabilities
– The Jurisdiction Was Better Prepared• Required Local (Regional) Involvement
Be Present for Mutual Benefits • Interested in Historical Value• Followed the Plan…and Planning
Process• Trusted the Team
In Closing
Recovery is about local control and guidance…identify who is the authority and who has the
responsibility…
Normalize Operations
Sometimes, the lessons are not easy...
