It has experienced:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>near Washington\u2019s Reagan Airport, the first mid-air collision involving an airliner since 1960 \u2014 with the loss of 67 lives;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a crash landing at Toronto\u2019s Pearson Airport;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an extreme near-miss of a Southwest Airlines 737 and a business jet at Chicago\u2019s Midway Airport;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been at least three other incidents involving emergency evacuations of aircraft with preliminary indications fires were in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, given the extensive media coverage, there has been little, if any, loss of passenger traffic since these accidents and incidents occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe airline passengers have a great deal of confidence that these issues will be investigated and solved by the U.S.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntsb.gov\/Pages\/home.aspx\">National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)<\/a>. With legislative origins dating back almost 100 years, Congress created the NTSB as an independent agency of the federal government in 1974 and since then, the NTSB has developed an outstanding reputation for fair and accurate analysis of accidents and incidents involving all modes of transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my career, I assisted the NTSB in a small way with two of its investigations. In 1997, my company, WeatherData was investigated by the Board for our flash flood warnings and services offered to our railroad clientele after the derailment of Amtrak\u2019s\u00a0<em>Southwest Chief<\/em>\u00a0near Kingman, Arizona. The board was thorough and professional, and we received a clean bill of health (see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ponce.sdsu.edu\/kingman_ntsb_9803.pdf\">their report<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on my considerable experience in both the workings of the NTSB and more than 50 years of experience in the field of consulting, forecasting, and warning of extreme weather and its effects, I believe that Congress should create a U.S. Disaster Review Board (DRB) modeled after the extremely successful NTSB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as the first quarter of 2025 has been a bad run for U.S. aviation, the past 15 years have experienced a series of natural disasters with significant fatalities and billion-dollar-plus damage tolls (in 2025-dollar values). These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2011 Joplin Tornado, 161 fatalities, $3.9 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2018 \u201cCamp\u201d Fire, 85 fatalities, $17 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2022 Hurricane Ian, 161 fatalities, $112 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2023 Maui Wildfire, 102+ fatalities, $5.5 billion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2024 Hurricane Helene Appalachian flooding, 230+ fatalities, final damage toll TBD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2025 Los Angeles Wildfires, 28+ fatalities (more than 30 missing), preliminary financial loss is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/story\/2025-01-24\/estimated-cost-of-fire-damage-balloons-to-more-than-250-billion\">estimated to be between $250 and $275\u00a0<\/a><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/story\/2025-01-24\/estimated-cost-of-fire-damage-balloons-to-more-than-250-billion\">billion<\/a><\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/story\/2025-01-24\/estimated-cost-of-fire-damage-balloons-to-more-than-250-billion\">\u00a0dollars<\/a>, which would surpass Hurricane Katrina as the most expensive natural disaster in United States history.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a plane crashes, aviation officials know exactly what to do to identify what happened, why, and to use this information to propose and implement changes to prevent future occurrences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about disasters? As a popular movie once asked, \u201cWho ya gonna call?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike other nations \u2014&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukcdr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DRG-10th-Anniversary-booklet_Nov-2019-1.pdf\">such as the United Kingdom<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 the U.S. has no systematic process for investigating disasters and applying lessons learned to future mitigation. Based on my considerable experience in the workings of the NTSB and more than 50 years of experience in the field of consulting, forecasting, and warning of extreme weather and its effects, I believe that Congress should create a U.S. Disaster Review Board (DRB) modeled after the extremely successful NTSB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NTSB was established by Congress originally in 1967 within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT). Seven years later, Congress determined the potential for conflicts of interest existed when the NTSB investigated other agencies of the DoT such as the Federal Aviation Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, Congress made the NTSB an independent federal agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DRB would be staffed with experts in applied (as opposed to theoretical) meteorology, geology, oceanography, emergency response, and related fields, with an ability to appoint relevant experts to its investigatory panels as appropriate. The purview of the DRB would be on natural disasters including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hurricanes and tropical storms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tornadoes and other severe convective storms such as derechoes and downbursts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tsunamis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Floods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wildfires<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earthquakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Volcanic eruptions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Major disasters such as medical pandemics or technology related disasters (i.e., a radiation leak or chemical spill) will be beyond the purview of the DRB. Some of these human-created disasters are already handled by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csb.gov\/\">U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons for the NTSB\u2019s high level of success is the underlying focus on transportation. If the DRB were to be assigned, say, pandemics that would require a signifcantly different focus and expertise than natural disasters \u2013 however, clearly the US also needs a capability to evaluate responses to pandemics as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October, 2021, California Representative Katie Porter introduced&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/5532\/text\">a bi-partisan bill to create a Natural Disaster Safety Board<\/a>&nbsp;which passed the House of Representatives (but not the Senate). Her bill provided $70 million for first-year expenses and specified that the Board must be either co-located with an existing government research facility (which I oppose because of the potential for conflicts of interest, similar to those of the early years of the NTSB) or a university campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help insulate a DRB from politics and to make it equally accessible to the entire nation, the DRB should be headquartered outside the Beltway and the constantly shifting winds of politics Washington. My recommendation is that it be in the central United States to insure equal access to all parts of the nation and that potential conflicts of interest be considered, and avoided, when a site is chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the NTSB, the DRB would be an independent agency. The NTSB has five Board Members, each nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate to serve 5-year terms. The President designates a Board Member as Chair and other a Vice Chair for 3-year terms. I recommend the same for the DRB. To their credit, both political parties have respected the essential requirement of the Board\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To read the rest, go to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rogerpielkejr.substack.com\/p\/the-case-for-a-us-disaster-review\">Roger Pielke Jr.\u2019s&nbsp;<em>The Honest Broker&nbsp;<\/em>Substack<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a guest post by\u00a0Mike Smith.
