As the integrated cooking advocate on the STAR-TIDES team, I was invited by SOUTHCOM to participate in a two-day crisis management workshop in Tegucigalpa (Jan 29-30, 2008) with Honduran FEMA and Army personnel. The FEMA officials have moved into a new building and are in the early stages of establishing a national disaster response structure. SOUTHCOM and the U.S. embassy are assisting with supplies and information.
