terms of the recommendations in the gao high-risk report on implementing sharing across agency so if you like you tackle that. but i also want to look at another area. mr. dodaro, and your testimony you discuss the inclusion of a new high-risk area in 2013, limiting the federal government's fiscal exposure by better managing climate change risk. our country has certainly seen an increase in weather related events that have contributed to the significant loss of life and property. it seems to me that each year the weather related events become coming in, more and more damaging. the level of the federal, level of involvement of the federal government has only increased. one of the recommendations in your test what is for dhs to improve the criteria for assessing the jurisdiction capability to respond to and recover from a disaster without federal assistance. and to better apply lessons from past expenses when developing disaster cost estimates. of the ago i was meeting with account executive from one of the larger counties in the state of wisconsin and we briefly discussed the need for fema and other federal agencies to be more involved in ensuring our l
