Interviewed at Gov 2.0 – Jesse Robbins
summary
Recovery.gov moves to the cloud and shows cloud wins for very spiky public sites, with economics and scalability matching enterprise needs while regulatory limits (health data, top‑secret networks) force hybrid approaches and longer procurement cycles. Mission‑critical here means life‑safety tolerance for failure is lower, requiring extra continuity planning and retained organizational responsibility rather than outsourcing. Emergency response history (Operation Hurricane Katrina) proves pattern of disaster tech innovation: teams use web2.0 toolset to adapt ad hoc, start small grow organically and then capture what worked.
