We were prepared before?

Okay, so we're a couple of days late. We have lives, you know.

The Sun-Times reports that Cortez Trotter has resigned his position as "Chief Emergency Officer."

Ability to handle a disaster is in question with three top spots vacant

We must have missed something, then, because most of the people in Operations questioned the city's ability to "handle a disaster." One should have heard all the buzz around the floor about the Olympics bid, and how ill-prepared we'd be for organized chaos. The city has a few football fields to cover before it's close to being prepared for any disaster of sorts.

Remember Loopalooza? Or Loopzilla, or whatever it was called? Yeah, we barely remember it too, because not much mention of it was made at the job beforehand. And a walk through downtown during the night showed a lack of police coverage, which in turn means of a lack of communications coverage, failure on the part of the city [again] to prepare for a non-disaster.

Trotter's departure isn't going to change anything in terms of how prepared we are or aren't.

It's always been the latter.
