Ok; I started this, so I guess I should finish it.

I'm sure when the rubber(-duckies) hit the road, everyone gets along fine.

I was talking more about political stuff internal to the orgs in some
places, WRT interfacing with the officials *before* there are active
emergencies.

I gather that's a bit dicey and old-boy-ish in at least some locales.
